Ex-PBB housemates Tom Mott and Princess Manzon admit they have special feelings for one another
Despite the violent behavior Pinoy Big Brother Double Up housemate Tom Mott exhibited inside the Big Brother house, which got him forced evicted, fellow housemate Princess Manzon justified that Tom’s actions were just normal during their interview on The Buzz. “When you get frustrated kasi you do and say things (that) you don’t really mean, I mean everyone has that,” Princess Manzon said.
On Pinoy Big Brother: Sam Pinto and Rocky Salumbides are the newest additions to the PBB house
As promised, Kuya opened his doors once again to welcome new housemates, Sam and Rocky. With their statuesque figures and good looks, it’s no wonder that they are no strangers to the limelight. Both have modeling careers and are able to strut their stuff on the catwalk, but reality TV is a whole new field.
Rocky Salumbides has graced the international fashion scene, but let this not fool you into thinking he’s all up in the air about this. His humble beginnings include growing up in the football team’s barracks and surviving on junk food alone. His mom raised their small family alone, working as a meber of Villamor Airbase’s football team. Rocky moved to Lanao del Norte with his maternal grandmother, and went back to Manila after some time. His luxurious job came later in life, after he has tried his hand on several blue-collar jobs such as selling balut and hauling heavy loads in construction, which he did to help augment their family income. Even after reveling in the limelight of fame and fortune, he was able to turn his back on it in favor of pursuing the love of his life, his “Pag-ibig”.
Carol Batay, Yuri Okawa, Riza Patria, and Rob Stumvoll are nominated this week on Pinoy Big Brother Double Up
Saturday night inside the Pinoy Big Brother house was filled with tears, tension, and twists. First, force evicted housemate Tom Mott was finally ordered by Kuya to leave his abode. The 22 year old hunky Waray lightheartedly accepted the punishment for his violent outburst a few days ago. In the confession room, Tom gave his touching farewell message to his friends in both houses. He was then fetched by his good friend and ex-housemate Princess Manzon, and both of them returned to the outside world. Tom was teary eyed as fans waiting in front of the house cheered for him.

They call it the most horrible attack. Charla Nash was attacked by a friend’s chimp disfiguring her face beyond belief. The horrible event happened back in February of 2009. She has never revealed her face to the public until she appeared on Oprah on November 11th.
You may see the very graphic pictures here.
Watch the video below and I must warn you, it is very graphic.
House A loses Big Brother’s Pinoy Big Battle
Big Brother highlights another set of violations this week; and as expected, delinquent Jason is once again part of the said bunch. Incidentally, Jason and Rica are caught committing the lapel violation in House B, so Big Brother punishes them by having a handheld microphone with stand tied between them all throughout the day in exchange for their lapels.

On Pinoy Big Brother Double-Up: Six housemates’ stay are on the line this week
The housemates are still reeling from BB Finland’s Katlin’s departure and Delio’s eviction last night when they had to face Toni Gonzaga’s announcement of the season’s fourth set of nominees. Due to the tie in votes, six housemates’ stay are on the line this week, with two coming from House A and four coming from House B.
ABS-CBN versus GMA-7’s station ID: which fared better?
It’s that time of the year again when the big networks ABS-CBN and GMA-7 partake of holiday cheer and reinforce the values of family and togetherness by unveiling their Christmas station plugs. The scale and production values of the holiday IDs have risen in direct proportion to the escalation of the network wars, becoming mini-movies in their own right.
The handles of the plugs themselves say nothing new on the surface-ABS-CBN’s tagline is “Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko” while GMA’s is “Sama-Sama Tayong Mag-PasaLove Ngayong Pasko.” But this year presents a bigger challenge than years past: Coming from a particularly devastating typhoon season and a gloomy global economic outlook, the Christmas spirit has never seemed so far away for the Filipino audience…and never more needed.

Kris revealed that there will be a second version of the music video which will feature more stars who support Noynoy’s political campaign.
Lorna Tolentino refuses to work with Chin Chin Gutierrez again – Watch the Confrontation EPISODE
Na-misinterpret ang unang pahayag ni Lorna Tolentino na huwag nang palakihin ang isyu tungkol sa pananakit sa kanya ni Chin Chin Gutierrez sa taping ng isang eksena nila sa ABS-CBN drama series na Dahil May Isang Ikaw para hindi na lumaki ang intriga.
Nakiusap si Lorna na huwag nang palakihin ang isyu dahil ayaw na niya ng intriga. Pero hindi ito nangangahulugan na walang katotohanan ang pisikal na pananakit ni Chin Chin sa kanya.
Sabunot, sampal, mga kalmot sa mukha, at bukol sa ibaba ng kanyang labi ang mga natikman ni Lorna mula kay Chin Chin.
ABS-CBN’s first animated series, ‘Super Inggo at ang Super Tropa,’ premieres in November

Katlin is up for a fiesta
House A heartily welcomes their new housemate, Kätlin; and in line with the said celebration, Big Brother gives them sumptuous Filipino dishes to munch on. After dinner, they all proceeded to the pool area for a rather cozy luau party, which the envious housemates from House B couldn’t help but over hear.Since alcoholic drinks freely flowed all through out their bash, Rob and Marielle ended up getting extremely drunk; and with the two intoxicated housemates getting pretty uncontrollable, some House A housemates couldn’t help but feel a little irritated up until they have all gone to bed to call it a night.

The Big Swap begins: Cathy lands in Finland as Katlin is welcomed inside the PBB House
BB Finland, meet Cathy! At 4 a.m., Sunday, which is around 12:30 nn Manila time, Cathy finally sets foot in Finland. Escorted by none other but PBB’s head honcho, Direk Laurenti Dyogi, she headed to Espoo, the site of Finland’s Big Brother house. She arrived to a near-empty city, Sunday being a holiday of sorts. Cathy breathed in the cool air as she sent her warm greetings from beside the train tracks. Before even stepping inside the Big Brother house, Cathy already had a challenge to face. As fate would have it, all her luggage was accidentally left behind in Bangkok, which meant that she would start her first day with literally just the clothes on her back! How she would deal with this setback, especially with the extreme cold that comes with the winter season, is just one of the things to watch out for.
Bon Voyage, Cathy!
The many tasks this week were focused on the Big Swap, pushing all housemates to see themselves as worthy ambassadors to a Big Brother house abroad. Not only did they have to practice being a team player on their sewing project, they had to develop themselves as individuals as well. From stressing over their English during individual interviews to going all out on promoting themselves on their “Ako-mmercials” and later on in a pageant, the housemates showed their enthusiasm in wanting to have that rare chance to go abroad. The list was trimmed down to 10 housemates, then to 5, and then to 3 finalists. These three finalists were Hermes, Cathy and Melai. Only one would have the much-coveted slot, though, and that lucky housemate was Cathy.

Edu Manzano bids farewell to ‘Pilipinas Game KNB?’
Dinalaw ng ABS-CBN.com si Edu Manzano sa last taping day niya sa Pilipinas, Game ka Na Ba? (PGKNB) noong Lunes, Oktubre 19. Sa aming pagpunta sa studio ay napanood din namin ang masayang pagsasama-sama ng mga previous winners na muling naglaro para sa victims ng bagyong Pepeng at Ondoy. Bukod sa kasiyahang ito, mas naging espesyal ang araw na yun para kay Edu dahil matapos ang ilang buwang absence sa Umagang Kay Ganda (UKG) ay muli siyang nagbalik sa kanyang early morning hosting stint that same day. If we can still remember, Edu left UKG when he decided to concentrate more on his job as chairman of the Optical Media Board (OMB).
Big Brother Winner Adam Jasinski uses his $500K winnings to buy and sell drugs
Whoah! What in the world??? Is that what you would do if you win $500,000 from a reality show? Is this what they call greed?
Allegedly, Adam Jasinski – the winner of Big Brother 9, was busted for attempting to sell and distribute oxycodone. Oxycodone is a powerful pain killer that is highly-desired because of its euphoric effects.
After winning $500,000 from Big Brother, Adam Jasinski has allegedly been using his winnings to buy and sell the drug. Can humans really be content with anything? I guess, the more you get… the more you want. If convicted, he faces 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
