Oh My! Enrique Iglesias Discusses His Pen*** Size. He may have just confirmed the rumor.

According to E! Online hunky Spanish-Filipino Enrique Iglesias just confirmed rumors that have been circulating all these years. Or maybe, he’s just trying to ride the wave because he knows he’s going to make it into blogs and tabloids if he toys with the idea that has been floating around for a while.

During a concert in Australia, Enrique Iglesias was in a conversation with male fans on stage and talked about their sex lives. Apparently, one eluded to the fact that Enrique is so good looking that he may have great powers in the bedroom.

To which Enrique responded: “What does Spanish good looks have to do with the size of your penis? They’re completely different things. Maybe I have the Spanish looks but I have the smallest penis in the world. I’m serious.”

Wow!! And not only that! He also said that he lost his virginity at 25, but corrected himself later said he was 17 years old saying,

“I was nervous as s–t the first time. Usually the first time is not the best. Mine was in my mother’s house. Let me be honest, I was actually 17 and a half… I was really nervous. It lasted ten seconds.”

Oh stop it. Not all Filipinos have small pee pees!

World! Here’s comes Mini Lady Gaga. Viral Video this week.

With over 1.3 million views on Youtube, this girl is probably going to get the attention of the big monster herself, Lady Gaga.

Watch the video and let us know what you think of her performance.

Heart Evangelista versus Marian Rivera. Whose side are you on? (VIDEOS) Take the poll.

Okay guys, I am not a fan of either Heart Evangelista or Marian Rivera. Although if you ask me, I would choose Heart Evangelista over Marian Rivera. Why? Just because of Marian’s image. Sure, Marian is beautiful as well – no doubt – as long as she doesn’t open her mouth.

The not-so-recent issue between Marian and Heart regarding the “sugod” issue while filming Temptation Island simply confirms how Marian Rivera acts off camera. By Heart saying, “I’m so excited!” about working with Dingdong Dantes didn’t really mean she wants to sleep with him. Hellooooo!! She’s with Daniel Matsunaga who, IMO is much much hotter than Dingdong Dantes.

But, that’s just my opinion.  What is our opinion?   I want to take a poll on which side you believe is right on this matter.  Am I the only one who thinks that someone who stole someone’s boyfriend is sooooo afraid that karma will get her that she acts this way on any hint that someone is interested in her boyfriend?

Let’s take a poll:


Isn’t life a b***h! Kristin Cavallari models wedding dresses in Life & Style. Released after the breakup.

It’s hard enough to deal with breaking an engagement.  Dealing with it as if it is still going to happen is worse.

Kristin Cavallari was engaged to Jay Cutler and the photoshoot for Life & Style happened a few days before the wedding was called off after only two months when the engagement was announced.

The former Hills star had plans on getting married to Jay Cutler in the Spring.

Ouch!  I wouldn’t wish this situation to happen to any of my enemies.

Kris Jenner – The mom to the Kardashians is spilling her beans about how she built a dynasty.

Did you know that the Kardashian Family raked in $65 million dollars last year?   Yes.  And that’s for doing nothing.

Well, not totally “nothing” since they do endorse a laundry list of products and of course, their reality show.

The person behind it all?  Kris Jenner (who once thought to change her name back to Kris Kardashian so she can build the brand) – the mom of the Kardashian sisters – and Rob of course.

Guess what?  Do you want to use make your family famous and rake in the amount that the Kardashian’s rake in day-in and day-out?  Kriss Jenner is spilling the beans.

“[I respond] by working hard. My job is take my family’s 15 minutes of fame and turn it into 30.”

“I was the Brownie leader and the soccer coach and room mother and car pool driver. Being a mom gave me great knowledge of how to be a professional multitasker. I see a problem, and I fix it.”

Her advice to other aspiring momagers (and the rest of us working folks), “If someone says no, you’re asking the wrong person. Don’t get discouraged, and don’t be afraid to try new things. Get organized.”

Cinemalaya 2011 Awards is alive and well. Thank God! (Complete list of Winners) I am pleased.

I am a big fan of Indie films.  I enjoy watching new faces on film and story lines that are out of the ordinary.  It gives a fresh look at movies that do not conform to the “money-maker-themes”.

I remember when I lived in Los Angeles, I had no friends.  (It’s not easy to make friends in Los Angeles!)

My weekends were composed of going to West Hollywood, to the Virgin Atlantic Theater and I would watch Independent films all weekend long.  It was followed with a trip to the Filipino restaurant and ordering my favorite Filipino meals.

Cinemalaya is the Philippine showcase of Independent films.  It’s a 10-day festival where audiences are treated to the latest in film-making including animation and short films.  If I lived in the Philippines, I will take a week off to watch every single film in the festival.  It’s really a celebration of talent.

I was glad about the winners as well and it gave me a hint on what to wait for on DVD so I could sit back and watch these films.

 

Here are the films I would like to see in no particular order:

  • Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank
  • Ligo Na U, Lapit Na Me
  • Bisperas
  • Isda
  • Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa
  • Zombadings
  • Ombre

The 7th Cinemalaya Awards Night was hosted by Paolo Bediones and Angel Aquino.

 

Here is the complete list of winners:

TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show 7 – Be Our Guest. Podcast redemption for Ham Viloria Part 1

 

 

 

 

The Chuva Chienes Show is getting a lot of feedback now from listeners. Our guest for tonight, for the second time on TCCS, Fabulous and Professional Hairdresser, Ham Viloria.

It’s our way to try and save the last podcast filled with technical difficulties on both ends. Nagkaloko-loko ang connection namin and Ham, a perfectionist, wanted to redeem himself by asking for another guesting at TCCS.

Since ang bait bait (super bait) ni Chuva, we welcomed another phone call from Ham Viloria. The conversation turned out really well that it took us a whole hour to finish our conversation. That is why we are splitting the podcast into two segments. This is part one, just so that listeners won’t get bored. Huwag sana kayong magsawa.

Listen in and please do provide your feedback at the comment section below, para naman alam kong may listeners kami… hahaha!!

Captain America Rockets to the Top of the Box Office (July 22-24)

Another prediction for the weekend blockbuster that Chuva guessed right!  Captain America kicks Harry Potter’s last installment’s butt this weekend by taking the number one spot with $65.8 million in ticket sales.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 went to number two position at $48 million dropping down 71.6%.  And of course, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis didn’t do too bad with Friends with Benefits which took in $18.5 million.

I, for one saw Friends with Benefits as opposed to watching Captain America.  I liked it and I specially liked Mila Kunis’ performance.  She played the role to a perfect “T”!  And she is so beautiful!  It helped as well that I saw a lot of Justin’s very smooth butt.  Ha!

Anyway, that’s it for now.

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester sends money to mom for sick brother. Mom uses it for plastic surgery. Now Leighton is suing her mom.

There are mothers out there who aren’t really mothers at all.  They are more like mother******s!

Imagine this.  Your famous daughter sends you money to care for your sickly brother and you use it for plastic surgery?  Yup.  Apparently, Leighton Meester‘s mom did just that.  Leighton is now suing her.  $7,500 a month she sends her mom, only to find out it was not used to care for her brother.  I’d be pissed too!

I say go for it!

Zombadings! A movie I would like to see – NOW NA! (VIDEO)

There were very few “gay characters” of comedic nature that captured my attention.    The time when Tonet Macho from Iskul Bukol has become a famous gay character in a funny role back in the late 80s, and then came Roderick Paulate who topped all comedians portraying as a homosexual starting with the the movie High School Circa ’65 and then a  TV show ( “Tepok Bunot”) with Bibeth Orteza.

Once he unleashed his comedic talents as a gay person, people clamored for more.   Roderick Paulate’s first foray in gay roles was in 1979 when he appeared in Maryo J. De Los Reyes’ High School Circa ’65. It earned him the Famas Best Supporting Actor nomination and more importantly it paved the way for more and bigger movie projects. He was described as filmdom’s “screaming faggot,” because of his unique, hilarious and funny style of carrying his role and delivering his lines.

Thank God! Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith To Stay On Glee

 

 

It’s now all over the web - Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith and Lea Michele will stay on Glee. Charice and Chord Overstreet are not returning next season.

Recent reports that have stated they are leaving the show had made me re-think my loyalty to Glee just because the story line revolves around these people.  Darren Criss and Harry Shum will stay but without Chris Colfer, what would happen to the role of Blaine?

So, when this news came out – I was thrilled.  Brad Falchuk revealed the news during the Comic-Con 2011 event.

#SONA 2011 – President Noynoy Aquino – Full Transcript (English & Tagalog)

His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III
President of the Philippines
To the Congress of the Philippines

[Delivered at the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasan Pambansa Complex, Quezon City on July 25, 2011]

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile; Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr.; Vice President Jejomar Binay; former Presidents Fidel Valdez Ramos and Joseph Ejercito Estrada; Chief Justice Renato Corona and the honorable Justices of the Supreme Court; honorable members of the diplomatic corps; members of the House of Representatives and the Senate; Local Government Officials; members of our Cabinet; members of the Armed Forces and the Philippine National Police; to my fellow servants of the Filipino people;

And to my beloved countrymen, my Bosses:

I stood before you during my inauguration and promised: we would do away with the use of the wang-wang. This one gesture has become the symbol of change, not just in our streets, but even in our collective attitude.

Over the years, the wang-wang had come to symbolize abuse of authority. It was routinely used by public officials to violate traffic laws, inconveniencing ordinary motorists—as if only the time of the powerful few, and no one else’s, mattered. Instead of behaving like public servants, they acted like kings. This privilege was extended to their cronies and patrons, who moved along the streets as if they were aristocracy, indifferent to those who were forced to give way and were left behind. Abusing privilege despite promising to serve—this is the wang-wang mindset; this is the mindset of entitlement.

They had no right to do this. The law authorizes only the President, the Vice President, the Senate President, the Speaker, the Chief Justice, and police vehicles, fire trucks, and ambulances to use sirens in the fulfillment of their official duties—no one else. Yet the flagrant abuse we bore witness to prompts us to ask: if they felt it their privilege to flout the simplest traffic laws, how could we expect them not to help themselves to a share of projects funded by the Filipino people?

Do you want the corrupt held accountable? So do I. Do you want to see the end of wang-wang, both on the streets and in the sense of entitlement that has led to the abuse that we have lived with for so long? So do I. Do you want to give everyone a fair chance to improve their lot in life? So do I.

First glimpse at Julian Moore as Sarah Palin for HBO’s Game Change

When I first heard that Julian Moore will be playing Sarah Palin on an HBO film entitled Game Change, I tilted my head a bit and said to myself, “She doesn’t really look anything like Sarah Palin.”

But when the first photo was released as a promo for the film, I was actually surprised!  She looks like Sarah Palin almost to a “P” – ha!

That is what I believe Sarah Palin has.  It’s the charisma that no matter how much you dislike her, you want to see anything that she does and how people perceive her.  I’m definitely watching this HBO special.  Definitely.

Katy Perry’s “E.T.” and “Firework” Have a Blast With MTV VMA Nominations

Katy Perry started with “I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It” and I instantly fell in love with her then.  Not until Firework, did I ever really fall in love with her totally because the song in itself radiates positive energy and the hope that being who you are speaks a lot for itself.  Forget Lady Gaga’s Born This Way.. Firework was the best song for me.

And guess what?  MTV VMA Nominations did give it some recognition….

Here’s the complete list of nominees:

In case that hurt your brain, here’s a simplified list of all the 2011 VMA nominees:

Video of the Year

Guess who is on Google+ with 340K plus people adding him to their circles?

I am more active on Google+ now than I have been active on Facebook.  Why?  Because Facebook is trouble for me.  I have friends there whom I don’t like and I don’t want to unfriend them because I don’t want to cause more drama.  Besides, I like the simple layout of Google+ better than Facebook (and NO INVITATION TO FARMVILLE!!!)

While I was adding friends and family to my circles, one familiar face showed up.

It’s Mark Zuckerberg!!  The CEO and Founder of Facebook is on Google+!  And why not?  You have to know what the competition is doing to stay on top of your game right?

He has no friends yet but, he’s been added by 340K some people in their circles.   I added him too!  Hey, like I’ve always said – I’ve always had a crush on Mark Zuckerberg.  I think he’s adorably hot!

Anyway – I was just surprised but not surprised to find him on Google+.  Besides, developers of Google+ have probably been on Facebook since inception.  It’s just how it works.

TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show TCCS Podcast 5 – The Technical Difficulties of Ham Viloria – Ha!


At long last!  From the beginning of the podcast to the end, I have had nothing but technical difficulties with this one.

It started as a simple podcast arrangement with one of my Twitter friends who would like to call in to TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show – and discuss whatever subject matter that would come up.  We set up a date and a time where he can call me only to find out that the technology that was supposed to help us make things easier, made things worse.

@hamviloria is a Twitter acquaintance who’s heard about The Chuva Chienes Show from our circle of friends on Twitter.  He was quick to volunteer to call in and speak to yours truly, Chuva Chienes.  I promptly agreed and the call was set.

Namputcha… when the time came, we were met with one problem after problem.  First, the computer he was supposed to use to call me on Skype was out of order.  We tried another way by using his blackberry, downloading the Skype app while he called me on my iPhone which already had the app.  All was saved right?  Not really.

Listen to the podcast and you will understand what I mean.

It wasn’t all that bad.  It turned out really well in the end and I was pleasantly surprised to hear @hamviloria’s voice for the very first time.  Pramis, ka-boses niya si Bryanboy.  Haha!  But we had a fun time talking and he is a pleasure to talk to.   I really wish we had more time.

Makinig na!

Fallout begins. Azkals members Neil Etheridge, Anton del Rosario and Simon Greatwich loses endorsement deal.

It’s not the first time this has happened.  Celebrities lose endorsements all the time.  Either for voicing out their views that are against the company they are endorsing, expressing their artform which degrades a company they have endorsed or simply by being accused of something that would pose a negative image to a company.

It’s happened to Madonna, Tiger Woods and many other celebrities.  Lady Gaga had turned that around though when she declined to endorse Target for contributing to anti-gay liberal politicians.

Now, it’s time for LoveRepublik.com to drop the endorsement of three members of the Azkals who are currently accused of raping a Filipina model.

Rupert Murdoch, CEO of Newscorp International may resign? (VIDEO) Celebrity Pie Attacks…

While watching the news yesterday to find out if Newscorp International’s CEO will resign and let his son take over the company, I got an alert from MSNBC that the questioning of Rupert Murdoch by Parliament went to recess. The troubled CEO of Newscorp International, Rupert Murdoch who was being questioned by Parliament regarding the “hacking scandal” of newspaper “News of the World” was attacked with a plateful of shaving cream during the questioning.    If you look closely at the video, his wife jumped into the scene to hit the attacker.  It caused the parliament to call a recess.

This is not the first time big name celebrities and moguls have been attacked with a pie.  Watch the series of videos below:

Amanda Coling’s statement, made through lawyer, on ‘incident’ involving the Azkals

I don’t know what the official statement was intended for. It didn’t really clarify or deny anything.. rather, it added more to the confusion regarding the alleged rape accusation against four Azkals member by Amanda Coling.

Here’s the statement:

My client, who is known to most by her screen name, Amanda Coling, is trying to find in her heart forgiveness for what has been done to her more than a month ago, specifically on june 2, 2011. Since then, she has moved on with her life, making a decent living as a freelance commercial model and events host in order to support her family.

It was her intent to just suffer in silence but subsequent events have forced her to surface.

On or about June 6, a purported reporter from a major newspaper somehow learned of her mobile phone number and started requesting for an interview regarding the incident. He claimed that he got the lead from someone connected to the group involved. Fearing that this was a setup, she declined and avoided him. The reporter, however, kept on encouraging her to speak out and press charges. Confused, she consulted with a militant women’s organization and then with a public attorney, but it only strengthened her resolve to remain silent. Be that as it may, she lived in constant fear that the June 2 incident would become the next big scandal in the Philippines.

Several days later, friends informed her that in a certain news program of a major tv network, Amanda Coling was named as the woman in an alleged gang rape video scandal with some members of a very popular sports team. Soon, media people started calling and texting her for confirmation and interviews. She did not confirm nor deny. And she again declined all requests for interview.

Some of the reporters suggested that she hire a publicist or a lawyer. But she does not know or trust the people being referred to her. This finally prompted her to seek my legal advice and representation on or about July 12, 2011.

When she first opened up the matter to me, she told me that I am the only lawyer she trusts. She was straightforward in saying that she could not afford my fees. So I offered to help her as a friend. She was obviously sleepless. She said she felt much harassed and also very scared, primarily due to apparent pressure from some friends and media people encouraging her to take immediate legal actions and call for a press conference.

I listened to her story. She sounded honest to me, but very confused. I believe her. I asked whom else did she confide with about the whole incident. She answered that the only persons she consulted were the one from the militant women’s group in Quezon City and the public attorney from Makati City Hall. She also remembered calling for help TV celebrity friends of her on the day itself, June 2, and thereafter, sharing her ordeal with a close friend.

Since I was flying out of town for a prescheduled vacation, I advised her not to talk about her story with anyone else and to say “no comment” to anything related to the June 2 incident, until i return and study all the angles.

It is unfortunate that on July 13, Amanda was abruptly informed that she will no longer be allowed to participate in the production number for a major victory event of a well known men’s magazine. She was also told that she would be removed from the roster of sexy model endorsers for a leading contraceptive brand. The reason being that the management found out that she was being linked to a scandal involving a very popular sports team, the azkals, and they are afraid of negative publicity.

The loss of her job, income, and career opportunity was too much for her to handle. It pushed her to seek redress thru the media which she initially avoided. She had no intention to stir up the issue but she could not understand why she had to become a victim all over again, when she was trying to hold her peace. She granted media interviews to protest the unfair treatment she got from the events organizer.

For the record, she has no axe to grind against the Azkals as a team. In fact, she openly supports Team Azkals and continues to wish them great success and glory in their upcoming games. She also has nothing against the men’s magazine and the contraceptive brand. She actually wishes them more business successes. This was precisely the point she was trying to make in her media interviews and TV appearances. She was trying to send out positivity and peace to everyone. She was extending love as a way of countering the prejudice that she had experienced. Unfortunately, the message got drowned by sensationalism and cynicism.

I am sure that a lot of us will find it hard to understand the real person behind Amanda Coling because she is not the stereotype victim. Yes, she still experiences pain, agony, suffering and anger. But she doesn’t despair, at least not for long. She shifts, bounces back, and moves forward quickly, sometimes too soon. Insofar as the June 2 and July 14 incidents are concerned, she has no vindictiveness or vengefulness in her heart. And because of this, she is and will be misunderstood. She told me that she’s been getting a lot of threats and hate messages and feedbacks in the media and internet, but she forgives them.

She fervently hopes that the issue that involves her and certain individuals, would not be blown out of proportion, nor should it cause additional grief and unnecessary harassment to her and to the others affected. Although she is a model and attracted to the limelight, it is never her intention to seek publicity at the expense of others. Neither did she speak out to cause divisiveness, or to promote negativity. What really happened on June 2, 2011, she would rather forget than remember. The way she was treated on July 13 is already behind her. To set the record straight, she never specifically named, identified, or blamed anyone as liable or responsible, despite attempts by certain entities to put words into her mouth. It is highly unfair to subject anyone to trial by publicity. Everyone has a family or a loved one to protect, as well as dignity to uphold, whatever status one may have in society.

She believes that everyone makes mistakes and deserves second chances. She is therefore open to accepting apology from the concerned parties, provided that they are sincere and willing to mend their ways. Regardless, she knows that the universal Law of Karma will eventually serve poetic justice in favor of the deserving consistent with her Rosicrucian beliefs.

Given the foregoing premises and after discussing again with my client the possible ramifications of the issues, it is still her decision to defer whatever legal action is appropriate to take under the circumstances in order to give all parties, including herself, ample time and opportunity to reflect, meditate and pray for enlightenment and discernment. She prays that, if ever she decides to take legal actions, it would not be for the wrong reasons, and that it will not become a circus.

On behalf of Amanda Coling, I thank you for your patience, respect and understanding.

Gay ‘Archie’ Character Kevin Keller To Get His Own Monthly Comic Book. Yay!

One of the blogs I read daily is Towleroad.  I find the blog interesting and it provides the best news and trends about being gay.  Hey, it’s one of Neil Patrick Harris‘ favorite blogs.

I like the posts about the “It Gets Better Project” and positive things that are ongoing for the gay community.  It also talks about the “crazies” who thinks all homosexuals should be sent to an island and isolated from the real population.

I usually re-blog posts that I find interesting and this is one of them.  (I re-blog most posts.. hehe!).

I found out today that the gay character introduced in the Archie Comic Book Series named Kevin Keller had such a great reception that he will be getting his own monthly comic book series.  How about that?

There are many positive things happening for the gay community and usually I read about them on Towleroad and it gives me great comfort.  I also learn about policy changes that could affect me personally from the blog.

Hey, if younger people read positive things about being gay, they wouldn’t be as fearful or ashamed to admit who they are.  It gives them the power to rise up to bullies and not do anything stupid.  I’m all for that.

Here’s an excerpt on the news about Kevin Keller:

The series, titled Kevin Keller, will follow a four-issue mini-series starring Kevin that began in July and has started filling out his background, including his relationship with his father, who serves in the military and is supportive of his son’s desire to follow in his footsteps. Like those for the other Archie characters, Kevin’s series will deal with his life in high school. “He’s going to be the class president,” said Dan Parent, the writer-artist who created Kevin. But it won’t all be a good time. “Even the most popular kids are not popular with everybody,” Mr. Parent said. “There’s some adversity he’ll have to deal with.”

Does her claim have a leg to stand on? Amanda Coling about the alleged rape accusation against four members of the Azkals (VIDEO)

This interview doesn’t really give me any good feeling about Amanda Coling‘s claim regarding the alleged “rape” accusations she has made against four members of the now-famous Philippine Football Team, the Azkals.

When questioned, she is saying that she was harassed and didn’t really plan on saying anything until she was taken out of the job which was her “bread and butter”, which was being an FHM model.  Seriously?

I don’t think she’s credible – - unfortunately.  I’m all for women’s rights and will fight for it and stand with the victim if I had every reason to believe them.  This one doesn’t hold for me. I mean she’s praising the Azkals, and talking about forgiveness and compassion and love. What the heck? So, what is she really trying to claim?

How about you? What do you think?

Watch the video below:

Casey Anthony released from jail under armed guard in the dead of night (VIDEO)

When I got the alert this morning that Casey Anthony has been released from jail, I cringed.  Not because I think she should rot in jail but because of her safety.  Could you just imagine if you were Casey Anthony, dubbed as the most-hated-woman in the world right now, being released into the wild?

The video below shows the reaction of people hissing and booing her as she got into a gold SUV into freedom.

But who would say it is freedom?  She may have to change her looks and live somewhere where nobody’s heard of her so she can survive.
