She made it!!! Ellen on the cover of O Magazine

Who says wishes don’t come true anymore? Don’t believe it! It just happened to Ellen Degeneres. She started an “O, Yes We Can” campaign to get on the cover of Oprah’s O Magazine and her wish was granted.
Oprah Winfrey believes in living your full potential and she mentioned it during the photo shoot according to E!. She said:
“When Ellen arrived at the photo shoot for our cover, I didn’t have to ask her how she was doing: it showed on her face,” says Oprah. “She radiated the kind of peace and satisfaction that comes only when you’re living at your highest potential.”
But the report said that she’s the only second human being who has made it on the cover of O Magazine (Oprah is the sole person to always grace the cover of her magazine) beside Michelle Obama. I thought Oprah’s hunky interior designer Nate Berkus made it too? But I guess there is a difference between “O At Home” and “O Magazine”. Oh well.
What other magazine cover can get this good? You have two of the most successful talk show hosts in the country who are living their lives to its fullest (bank account included) and sharing their joys and successes with one another. Huh?
One thing that they did say Michelle Obama didn’t have – - a dual cover… Check out the other cover after the JUMP.

Facebook Farmville Cheats and Tips – No. 1
It took a while before I joined the craze. I had so many gifts that I have ignored because I didn’t want to become addicted to any online game. I had an ex-boyfriend who could play WoW (World of Warcraft) for twenty-four hours straight. I didn’t want to be that. I had more things to do with my life than sit and play an online game.
Not until I started playing Farmville. I noticed that my whole family has been playing the game for a while. Even my 5-year old niece is in it. So I said, why not.
Have been playing now for about two months and boy, I am addicted. Not because I love the game so much but because every time I visit any of my neighbors, I am envious of their large mansions and all the things they have in their farm. And I thought, “If they can do it, I can do it too!”

Wadiaytelya? Being self-righteous serves no one and respects no one. The goody-two-shoes and former Miss California, Ms. Carrie Prejean has been reportedly removed from an Ultra-Conservative event after it has learned of her sex video tape.
Another event called “Defenders of the Family” has removed her from her speaking engagement which according to TMZ.com was still a go until yesterday (the event is today).
What a difference a day make. I think it’s downhill from here.

DListed.com reports that Adam Lambert (Glamerace) has a new boyfriend – a very short time after breaking up with his ex, Derek LaBry. It’s kinda odd because Adam did say that his focus is on his new album but guess what, this new guy is a cutie!
According to website, a source told Star Magazine that Adam Lambert is getting quite close to singer/songwriter Ferras Alqaisi.
Source says, “They have a lot in common, so I’m not surprised Adam started falling for him. Adam really dropped a bomb on Drake; I don’t think he suspected a thing!”
Whoah! Seems like there is no waiting time when it comes to “new love” these days. Would you vote? Hot or Not?

IN FOCUS: Sharon Cuneta and her real-life roles
Sharon Cuneta has been a celebrity since she was 12, so she literally grew up in the public eye.
She became the teen-flick princess at the height of her tandem with ex-husband Gabby Concepcion. She turned into a darling of the masses when she began portraying rags-to-riches characters.
After 31 years in the business, more than 50 movies, about 40 recording albums, and numerous awards—the Megastar has probably played all kinds of roles any star could ever dream of portraying.
But her favorite is her real-life role as a mom to her three daughters—Maria Kristina Cassandra, 24; Simone Francesca Emmanuelle, 8, and Mariel Daniella Sophia, 5. In fact, when the three young ladies came into her life, showbiz instantly took the back seat.

I knew that there is more to this Carrie Prejean person than meets the eye. She is just full of lies and apparently, she is a publicity hog as well! I don’t want to judge anyone and no one deserves to judge me. But, if you’re going to judge people – you must make sure that you have an immaculate closet!
As promised – Henri David Halloween Ball 2009 Pictures
Well mga ka-chika! As promised, heto na ang mga piktyurakas na kuha ng isang blogger din. I couldn’t carry my SLR dahil di babagay sa outfut ng ditse. And it took a while for the photographer to furnish me with the pics.
Although it was not as fun as the previous Henri David Halloween Balls that we’ve attended, it was still a fun night. Mukhang suko na yata si Chuva sa pag da-dragon…hahaha! Di ko na kayang mag-heels. Ilang beses akong nag-paa sa ball dahil halos kalyuhin ako sa sakit ng paa ko… bwahahahaa!
In fairness, maganda ang dating ng mga costumes this year kaya I will label each of the photos para malaman ninyo ang dating.
Chuva’s at the Movies – Review: In My Life
Okay, I must tell you that ever since I watched John Lloyd Cruz in One More Chance – I fell in love with him instantly. He’s one of the actors who can make me cry and I don’t mean just tears flowing down my cheeks – - Hagulgol to the maximum level.
I became super excited when I heard about the making of a gay-themed movie called In My Life. Of course, having John Lloyd Cruz in the film was already a plus for me but having the Star for All Seasons, Ms. Vilma Santos is even a better treat.
The DVD has finally come out and I couldn’t wait to get a hold of it. When I finally watched the film last night (with red wine on hand for total immersion!! hahaha!) I was actually impressed. The movie was all that I expected and more.
Remember how I complain all the time when gay-themed movies are produced from the Philippines? It’s always about go-go boys, macho dancers, and prostitutes. That is not all we can show. When Pusong Mamon came out – I was equally impressed because it is a film that showed a different view of what gay life is all about.
I couldn’t believe the “shocker” in the film as well which took me by surprise. I couldn’t tell you because it will be a spoiler if I did. You just have to watch the film.
John Lloyd, Vilma and including Luis Manzano did a wonderful job in portraying their roles. I was mostly in tears during scenes between John Lloyd and Vilma Santos. I did sense a bit of uncomfortable acting between Luis and his mom, Vilma. But their scenes turned okay as well.
The funniest part was Vilma’s trip to Harlem. You’ll understand when you see the film. It’s not for me to tell you.
Overall, I would rate the film and give it a 4 out of 5 stars. Fabulous! And I have never scene a better shot of New York from a Philippine movie. The excellent cinematography must be commended as well. There is no wonder why the movie became such a hit.
That’s all..

Yeng Constantino admits being single sometimes gets to her
ABS-CBN.com caught up with Yeng Constantino at the rehearsals for the Star Magic Concert to be staged this November 13 at the Araneta Coliseum. The Pinoy Dream Academy’s first Grand Star Dreamer was sporting a new hairdo which prompted questions as to whether or not she had someone in mind who inspired the change. “Wala namang taong dahilan kung bakit ako blooming. Sobrang happy ko lang siguro sa buhay ko ngayon kaya napapansin niyong blooming ako. Conscious na rin ako sa look ko ngayon. Nararamdaman ko na kasing nagdadalaga na ako, kahit na dalaga naman na talaga ako, ha ha ha! Siyempre hindi na rin pwede ‘yung dati na haharap ako sa mga tao na magulo ang buhok ko. Bilang babae dapat naman siguro matuto akong magayos ng sarili ko.”

Rihanna speaks: ‘Love is so blind’
Photo Credit: CNN.com
Go go go Rihanna!!
A victim of domestic violence, Rihanna kept silent about the events that occurred during that night at the Grammy’s when she was assaulted by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. The photo that spread through the internet like wildfire is a testimony to the violence that many women experience but do not speak of.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Rihanna appeared to be stronger and more confident and that she has taken the bull by the horns to face the public and speak of her experience.
“Come out of the situation and look at it for what it really is,” she advised during an interview on “Good Morning America” on Thursday. “Love is so blind.”
Similar to child abuse, or any type of abuse – it is still often (unfortunately) hidden behind the walls of the home. If children are taught to speak out against any type of abuse and if they learn that when these things happen, they need to talk about it and tell someone – we could save a lot of lives.

Glaiza de Castro describes her role in Stairway To Heaven as “exasperating”
Very effective si Glaiza de Castro sa kontrabida role niya bilang Eunice sa Stairway To Heaven. Hindi man niya pinanood nang buo ang original Korean version nito, pero marami ang nagsasabing kuhang-kuha raw ni Glaiza ang pagganap ng Korean actress na unang gumanap bilang Eunice, pati ang expression ng mga mata nito.
Natuwa naman si Glaiza sa mga natatanggap na feedback sa kanyang pag-arte. Ayon sa kanya, hindi raw talaga madaling gampanan ang character na ginagawa niya ngayon sa Stairway To Heaven, na napapanood gabi-gabi sa Telebabad block ng GMA-7.

Ryan Agoncillo on Judy Ann Santos getting pregnant: ‘Bigla na lang mangyayari ‘pag wala ng nagtatanong’
“Multinetwork star,” biro namin kay Ryan Agoncillo na ikinangiti nito. To date, Ryan is the only celebrity with ongoing shows on three networks.

“More than the romance, the friendship is evolving,” ani Ryan. “I thought ‘yung pagpe-prepare namin ng wedding ‘yun na ang test ng friendship, and we passed. Now, [we’re] building a nest. Nasa building stage pa kami. Nasa tanungan pa kami kung pa’no gawin ang budget, pa’no gawin sa school, kung sino ang magtuturo sa anak namin (Yohann), mga gano’n”
