Lin Yu Chun, the 'Taiwanese Susan Boyle'

Taiwanese guy Lin Yu Chun becomes a Youtube sensation and is now
called the "Taiwanese Susan Boyle". Why?

It all started when a video of Lin Yu Chun was posted on Youtube this
week. He's singing Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always On You' as a
contestant on Taiwanese show 'Super Star Avenue', a singing contest
like Britain's Got Talent.

And Lin Yu Chun sounds so great. You'd feel goosebumps when you hear
it. He perfectly sings like Whitney Houston. And just like Susan
Boyle, who shot to fame via 'Britain's Got Talent', Lin Yu Chun is now
expected to be world famous. That's why, Lin Yu Chun is now being
described as the Taiwanese Susan Boyle.

To hear Lin Yu Chun, please watch his video on Youtube and be amazed.
Just type this at the search button on Youtube: "Taiwanese boy Lin Yu
Chun sing Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You'".

Michael Lynche saved by the judges on 'American Idol Season 9'

Young dad Michael Lynche or fondly called 'Big Mike' was saved by the
American Idol judges from being eliminated during the Top 9 Results
Show Wednesday, April 7, 2010.

Lynche got the lowest number of votes last night, which was a surprise
to many but not to me because I didn't like his performance the other
night when he sang 'Eleanor Rigby'.

Before being eliminated, Big Mike sang for the last time 'This Woman's
Work' which was impressive and was saved by the 4 judges from being
voted off. Because of that, two Idol contestants will be eliminated
next week and the judges no longer have the power to save anyone.

In the bottom 3 last night were Aaron Kelly and Andrew Garcia.

Claudine unhappy over her show's clash against Gretchen's MMK

It's a showdown of sisters this Saturday night, April 10: 'Claudine'
on GMA 7 and Maalaala Mo Kaya starring Gretchen Barretto on ABS-CBN.

And the Barretto family are not so pleased about it.

During her presscon for her show early this week, Claudine said she's
not happy with the clash of her show against that of Gretchen.
Claudine was like blaming her former home studio for the supposed
clash. She was quoted saying to Gretchen, "Sana 'wag syang pagamit"
and making an appeal to the TV networks to prevent the clash to
happen.

Claudine I think must address that only to her new network. Her show
has long been overdue. It was announced to debut last March 21, then
moved to 28 and now April 10. It was supposed to be on a Sunday and
now moved to a Saturday timeslot.

If there's one show which will give way to the other, it should be
'Claudine'. MMK has been airing on a Saturday slot and all of a
sudden, the rival network has its own drama anthology to be pitted
against MMK. The 'Gretchen Barretto' episode on MMK has been promoted
even before Holy Week thus they shouldn't be blamed for the supposed
clash of the two shows.

Gretchen Barretto presscon walkout: what's new?

I think Gretchen Barretto is now the "Walk-out Queen" in Philippine showbiz.

Gretchen Barretto walked out again, but this time around, at her own
press conference held yesterday in Eastwood City.

It was a presscon for her new endorsement (Glutamax) but the press
kept digging on her and sister Claudine because the two have a TV
showdown this Saturday. Gretchen will have an episode in MMK on
ABS-CBN 2 while Claudine's self-titled show debuts on GMA 7 the same
day in the same timeslot.

Probably Gretchen couldn't withstand answering Claudine-related
questions because it was a presscon for her endorsement and not for
anything else. But of course, not enough reason to walk out again.
Does this confirm that they really have a gap?

Two years ago, Gretchen already did it on TV. She walked out the
studio of Entertainment Live of ABS-CBN because of a VTR of Nadia
Montenegro whom she had conflicts that time.

Gretchen's MMK episode will also star Jomari Yllana, Dexter Doria and
new Kapamilya Tyrone Perez while Claudine's 1st episode has Raymart
Santiago. Who are you gonna watch?

As an MMK follower, I'd definitely watch Greta's exciting episode and
maybe switch channels from time to time to take a glimpse at Claudine.
I'm curious if it's really worth watching.

Bb. Pilipinas 2010 Scandal gets worse

After the dethronement of Maria Venus Raj as Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2010, there's another issue that the pageant organizer has to face. Now, it's involving Binibining Pilipinas-International 2010 Krista Kleiner aka Krissa Mae (photo).


There's a rumor going on lately that Krista, who's currently in Japan for Julio Iglesia Tour, was the original choice by the judges as Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2010 during the grand coronation last March 6th.


Stir.ph actually has a related story about it entitled "Krissa Mae robbed of Binibining Pilipinas Universe title" and the article says that BPCI chairman Stella Marquez Araneta allegedly switched the original titles of Raj as International and Kleiner as Universe because Kleiner is born in the US and she looks like Miss Puerto Rico more than Miss Philippines.


Apart from that, there's another rumor linked to that. Allegedly, Krista, with the help of GMA 7, was the one who secretly complained to BPCI about Raj's birth records just because Krista was bitter of the results and she had known she's the real Binibining Pilipinas Universe winner.


Oh no! These rumors are widely spread in different pageant forums and I hope it's not true. Oh well, what's new? Year after year, BPCI have always been attacked by rumors like this because of their controversial pageant results. I think it's about time for a new organizer of Binibining Pilipinas.


Meanwhile, Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz got intervied in the news and advised Venus to just let the crown go. She said that BPCI always has the last say and even urged Raj to just join the pageant next year after she fixed her birth records.


It's so easy for Ms. Gloria to say that because she didn't experienced being dethroned.

Tom, Cathy and Johan by the pool

Tom Rodriguez, Cathy Remperas and Johan Santos pose at the poolside on the set of Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Love Me Again.


I've been watching the series since it started last Monday and I love it. JoCath does have chemistry and Tom is really a leading man material.


Johan's new haircut definitely works for him. He looks so young there and he really fits as the younger brother of Valerie Concepcion. Cathy is also a revelation there. Those three really have potential.


Catch it weekdays on ABS-CBN before Tanging Yaman.

AmericanIdol Top9 performances: Lennon/McCartney song

The American Idol Season 9 Top 9 performances have just wrapped up
earlier in the US and the Top 9 finalists performed songs of The
Beatles' John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

The order of the performances was: Aaron Kelly (Long and Winding
Road), Katie Stevens (Let It Be), Andrew Garcia (Can't Buy Me Love),
Michael 'Mike' Lynche (Eleanor Rigby), Crystal Bowersox (Come
Together), Tim Urban (All My Loving), Casey James (Jealous Guy),
Siobhan Magnus (Across the Universe) and Le Dewyze (Hey Jude).

You can't keep from comparing some of them to previous American Idol
contestants because they sang the same song: Kelly to David Archuleta,
who also sang 'Long And Winding Road' in 7th Season's Top 11 round and
Lynche to David Cook, who performed 'Eleanor Rigby' during the Season
7's Top 12.

For me, the best performances came from Stevens, Bowersox, Urban,
James and Magnus. America, please vote for them to stay, most
especially Tim Urban!

The Top 9 will be down to 8 tomorrow during the Results Show, with
David Archuleta, Jason Derulo and Rihanna as guests.

Hollywood couple Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have just official

Manny Villar happy over Baby James' "Hello Villar!" declaration in Bacolod

Nacionalista Party Presidential bet Manny Villar is reportedly happy
to hear about Baby James Aquino Yap shouting "Hello Villar!" in
Bacolod yesterday.

Baby James was with mom Kris Aquino in Bacolod to campaign for brother
Noynoy as President under the Liberal Party. When Kris handed the
microphone to Baby James to say hello to everybody, the 2-year-old kid
indeed said "Hello" but responding to the crowd who were shouting
"Noynoy", Baby James unexpectedly shouted "Villar!". Kris' reaction
was priceless and had nothing to do but tell Baby James to go to the
side.

It was shown on TV Patrol World last night and video of it has become
an instant hit on Youtube. In fact, some have made Baby James' "Hello
Villar" quote as ringtone on their mobile phones. What a craze!

Baby James' now famous line has reached Villar and he happily told ANC
today that he feels honored and proud: "Ikinararangal ko na 'pag
nakikita kong nagugustuhan ako ng mga bata. Dahil ang mga bata
honest."

Kris meanwhile had to say sorry to Noynoy for what happened. On
Twitter, she said: "Nag-sorry ako to Noy & my sisters right away &
they told me syempre he's 2 years old - terrible 2's. Moral of the
story - we let him be 2 while guiding him to be a good boy."

Pulse Asia Survey (March 21-28): Aquino-Roxas tandem wins over Villar-Legarda

Liberal Party's Presidential and Vice-Presidents bets have topped
again the newest pre-election survey of Pulse Asia Survey conducted
from March 21 to 28, 2010.

There were 3,000 respondents nationwide and 37% of them prefer LP
Presidential candidate Noynoy Aquino while 25% voted for Nacionalista
Party standard bearer Manny Villar. LP's Mar Roxas meanwhile is still
the top choice as Vice President with 43% while NP's Loren Legarda is
in far 2nd with 23%.

Compared to the previous Pulse Asia survey, Noynoy's lead over Villar
has widened, from a 7-point lead last survey to 12-point lead in the
current survey. Same goes for Roxas, who is now 20 points ahead of
Legarda.

Here's the results of the latest Pulse Asia Survey:

FOR PRESIDENT:
1. Noynoy Aquino 37% (+1)
2. Manny Villar 25% (-4)
3. Erap Estrada 18%
4. Gibo Teodoro 7%
5. Dick Gordon 2% (+1)
6. Eddie Villanueva 2%
7. Nick Perlas 0.3%
8. JC Delos Reyes 0.2%
9. Jamby Madrigal 0.1%

FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
1. Mar Roxas 43%
2. Loren Legarda 23% (-4)
3. Jojo Binay 19% (+4)

(note: what you're gonna read below is not related to the Pulse Asia survey)

HOW TRUE? When Kris Aquino was campaigning for her brother in Bacolod,
she gave the microphone to Baby James but instead of shouting Uncle
Noynoy's name, the 3-year-old kid allegedly shouted "Villar!".

Cristine-Zanjoe on "Kristine Series"

Cristine Reyes leads the cast of Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Martha Cecilia's Kristine Series where she's paired up with Zanjoe Marudo.


In "Kristine series", Cristine plays Jewel Fortalejo while Zanjoe Marudo takes the role of Bernard Da Silva. I can really feel the sexual chemistry between Cristine and Zanjoe. And that's so exciting!


Also exciting to watch in this series are Rafael Rosell and Denise Laurel, who got to play it sexy too. Other cast include Irma Adlawan, William Lorenzo and Eddie Gutierrez as Don Leon Fortalejo.


"Kristine Series" will run for 6 months on ABS-CBN and target airing is later this month or in May. I've heard it's going to be shown on primetime. Are you excited too?

Gladys Reyes is 6-weeks pregnant

I've learned from Boy Abunda on SNN tonight that the Philippine TV's premiere contravida Gladys Reyes is pregnant for 6 weeks.


Gladys and Christopher Roxas are expecting their 3rd child, who is another addition to their beautiful family this year. The two are already parents to Gian Christophe (4 years old) and Gianna Aquisha (20 months old).


Gladys is currently a judge on "Showtime" and stars on "Habang May Buhay" topbilled by bestfriend Judy Ann Santos, who is also pregnant for 4 months.


Wow it's so exciting that Juday and Gladys who both rose to fame as Mara and Clara during the 90's are expectant mothers this year. If their babies are both girls, would it be fun to name them as Mara and Clara? Or how about Jane and Clarissa, their names in Habang May Buhay?


Kidding aside, congrats to both Judy Ann and Gladys!

And now screenshot of it has reached the pages of different blogsites and forum. It shows a guy who looks like Johan Santos and he's doing a self-pleasure.


The video allegedly was taken after Johan ended his journey on Starstruck. The guy somehow looks like Johan but I don't want to believe it's him. For me, it's not Johan. How about you?

KC Concepcion, newes host of "The Buzz" starting April 11

It's confirmed! Mega daughter KC Concepcion will be the newest host on
"The Buzz" as replacement for Ruffa Gutierrez.

Last week, I've already known that the newest host on The Buzz is a
"she" and not a "he" so definitely Vice Ganda was already dropped from
the shortlist of possible hosts (though he could also be labeled as
"she").

Another clue I got was the new host is a singer-actress which led me
to think it's going to be Toni Gonzaga. But since, Toni has PBB Teen
Clash of 2010 for 7 days in a week, so definitely it's not her.

I never thought that it would be KC Concepcion until I read that
Bandera news online in which Kris Aquino herself was very thankful to
Kc's mom Sharon Cuneta for allowing Kc to be part of the show. Kc was
also spotted today during the blessing of Kris' new home.

This Sunday, April 11, definitely would be Kc's Day as she will have
an album launch and birthday celebration on ASAP XV then another
birthday bash and a grand welcome as newest host on The Buzz.

Wow, Kc is definitely one refreshing addition in the show.

Adam Carolla 'sorry' for the racist remarks against Pacquiao and the Filipinos

Italian-American comedian and radio commentator Adam Carolla has
already issued an apology to the Filipinos, but only on his Twitter
account.

It is in connection with what Adam Carolla said on his show "The Adam
Carolla Podcast" last week that Filipino boxing champion is illiterate
and brain-damaged, and that Philippines all have is s-x stores.

Here's exactly what Carolla said: "Someone has to tell him [Manny
Pacquiao] that it doesn't make a difference. Here's how you know when
your country doesn't hav a lot going for it...when everything about
Manny Pacquiao...Get a f*ckin life as a country..."

"All you f*ckin got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash
other guys in the head better than other people. Really, you want some
guy with brain damage running your country? Why don't you get you shit
together?"

"All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores. Get your
shit together Philippines! What happens when Floyd Mayweather beat
him? Then what? Does the whole country go into depression?"

Those remarks by Carolla sounded offensive to Pacquiao fans and to the
whole Filipino nation. For some, it's already a strong racist remark
against the Filipino race.

Just a while ago today, Monday, Adam Carolla has said sorry via his
Twitter account and even praising Pacquiao this time as one great
fighter. He tweets: "Sorry if I offended many of you, I don't preplan
my commentary. I try to be provocative, funny but I crossed the line &
I'm sorry....By the way, I think Manny is a great fighter."

Do you think he's sincere in making that apology on Twitter? Do you
accept it? Is it enough? Or should he make it on his show?

Venus Raj fights for her 'Binibining Pilipinas' crown

"Bring back the crown to Venus!"

That's what supporters of Maria Venus Raj, the dethroned Binibining
Pilipinas-Universe 2010 titleholder, have ever wanted since she lost
the title last Monday.

And now, that's also what Raj wants for herself. She just had a live
interview on ABS-CBN's The Buzz today and she said she will fight for
her crown. Her lawyer is already taking the necessary move to bring
back the title to her.

Until now, it is still unclear for Venus the real reasons why she was
stripped of the title. According to Venus, BPCI took the crown from
her just because she didn't tell them that she was born in Doha, Qatar
and not in the Philippines when in fact, she was very vocal about it
during the audition and even during the pageant. She said he has a
video interview to support it.

For me, BPCI really made a mistake on this one. It seems like BPCI is
trying to say that they didn't know Venus is half-Indian. Hellooo?
Everyone knew about it.

This issue actually reached some parts of the world, gracing news
sites in Qatar, Australia, USA and a lot more.

Vice Ganda not the new host on 'The Buzz'

Vice Ganda's 1,186,806 fans on Facebook probably are sad to know that
their idol is not the new host on 'The Buzz'.

Vice was on The Buzz today but not as Ruffa Gutierrez's replacement.
He was there to celebrate his 34th birthday and to promote his "May
Nagtxt...Yung Totoo?" Concert in Araneta Coliseum this May.

He even jokingly said, "Pinaasa nyo lang pala ako" but Kris Aquino
would still want to have Vice Ganda on the show and even suggested to
take a portion of her talent fee as well as of Boy Abunda's to
accomodate Vice as the 4th host.

Kris even had this idea to have a segment about Vice Ganda which will
feature Vice's ex-girlfriends. Yes, Vice confessed in the show that he
had 5 gfs before he came out in the open.

Are they just misleading us? They even showed a teaser of the new
host, a figure of a sexy skinny girl which might be Toni Gonzaga.
Let's just see on April 11 as The Buzz welcomes its newest host.

P12million for Babe, I Love You's opening day

Anne Curtis has a very good reason to celebrate after that "Bora
storm" which struck her the other week.

Her latest film "Babe, I Love You" which pairs him up for the first
time with Sam Milby in a movie reportedly grossed P12 million on its
opening day yesterday (Black Saturday).

See, there's always sunshine after the rain as they say and
definitely, another project for the two will be a good reward for the
newest boxoffice tandem.

The 1st day opening sales of 'Babe, I Love You' has tied with
Kimerald's 'Paano Na Kaya' which also had 12M pesos on its opening day
in January. This year's biggest opening is still that of 'Miss You
Like Crazy' (P18M).

Compared to previous years' movies which opened on a Black Saturday,
Babe, I Love You's opening is way below than 'T2' (P15m) shown last
year but it's higher than the first day gross of the 2007 film 'Ang
Cute Ng Ina Mo' (P11m) which also starred Anne Curtis.

Congrats to Anne, Sam, Direk Mae Cruz, Star Cinema and Viva Films for
the success of the movie.

KC Montero also offended U-Kiss fans

DJ Mo Twister is not alone in facing the controversy brought upon by
his Twitter posts against K-pop group U-KISS.

Fil-Am KC Montero, a former MTV VJ and also a radio DJ, was actually
exchanging tweets with DJ Mo last Sunday while U-Kiss was performing
on GMA's Party Pilipinas.

Responding to Mo's tweet about U-Kiss, KC said, "well yeah! we
starting the whole, "why are they on this show" thing."

He then continued, "shh---ttt, I could never be in a boy band...you
need hair to style from the back. I did rock a pretty dope bowl back
in the day."

KC went on further and said, "haha Tim Yap totally is in the group."
He later remarked, "I so can't wait to not buy the Ukiss album. Sorry
I quite don't get it."

On Wednesday, a certain Nica Acero (@niicachan) defended U-Kiss and
told KC how they (the fans) are disappointed of his tweets. She
tweeted, "We're just really disappointed. The approach of your tweets
to the fans is not that good. It looks like you're bashing them. K-pop
fans are 'crazy' when they're mad. I'm sorry about the direct approach
but your conver with Mo Twister wasn't really nice."

To which KC responded immediately after, "Of course the fans don't
appreciate it. I'd get mad if you were making fun of my favorite.
That's why you're a fan and I'm not."

KC defended himself further and even stating that he doesn't like
U-kiss. "What did I say about UKiss? I said I don't get them. They
speak Korean, am I supposed to get it?"

"We're all entitled to our own opinion. Do I get them? Nope. Do I like
them? Nope. Can I say whatever I like? Yup," he said. "Say whatever
you like bout my favs and I don't care. It's a free world. You guys
just happen to be listening to my conversation."

KC is currently a radio DJ at the newly-launched U92 radio station.

DJ Mo Twister on U-Kiss: They look like my lesbian aunt.

It seems like Filipino DJ and TV host Mo Twister is not gonna issue an apology (before Holy Week ends) to Korean boy band U-Kiss after his Twitter comment last March 28 sounded offensive to the K-pop group and its fans.

If DJ Mo s remark last Sunday was they look like lesbians , now (just last night) DJ Mo has changed his comment to they look like my lesbian aunt .

U-Kiss was the special guest during the premiere of Party Pilipinas on GMA 7 last March 28. And the controversy started when DJ Mo, an active Twitter user, was caught posting these tweets that day:

I m sorry all you k-pop fans but you can t tell me that s a heterosexual man. You just can t. I stand corrected, these k-pop guys don t look gay, they look like lesbians.

For U-Kiss fans, those tweets were offensive and they quickly demanded for an apology from DJ Mo, who s always been known in Philippine showbiz as brutally frank. They even made a Facebook fan page called KPOP FANS DEMAND FOR PUBLIC APOLOGY FROM MO TWISTER which as I write this now has 3,433 fans.

Anthony Eusebio, father of U-Kiss member Alexander Lee Eusebio, also made a direct message to DJ Mo on Twitter last night: If you think this is a good opportunity of making yourself popular, you re right but surely you re risking your job too. Your comments on my Boys are ridiculously improfessional and naive! I demand an APOLOGY from you!

But on his later tweets, he appealed to K-pop fans not to send bad comments to DJ Mo and just forgive him and leave it all to God.

Responding to numerous bad comments, DJ Mo, who is vacationing in Paris now, made a new comment last night. He tweets, Some UKiss fans are upset I said they looked like lesbians. What s wrong with that? I like lesbians. My aunt is lesbian. They look like my aunt.

One angry fan quickly replied to DJ Mo s tweet: Don t ever COMPARE U-KISS to your LESBIAN AUNT! What s wrong with that? Simple, it s because they re so DIFFERENT since BIRTH! Get it?

For how far will this controversy go?

Rachelle Ann Go on Party Pilipinas; Gerald Santos on ASAP XV

Two grand singing champions are reportedly switching networks this month.

Rachelle Ann Go, who stayed on ABS-CBN and ASAP regular for 6 years, is reportedly transferring to GMA 7 and join Party Pilipinas. But it s not yet final. In fact, Rachelle herself is still clueless of any negotiation.

On Rachelle s Twitter account, she told her followers not to worry, that s after her fans appealed to her not to move to GMA. Sa lahat po ng nagtatanong...Hindi ko pa po alam sa Viva kung anong kaganapan...Mangyayari ang dapat mangyari. Let s not worry, Rachelle tweeted yesterday.

Does her statement mean she s staying in the Kapamilya station? If ever Rachelle s transfer to GMA happens, she will just make a comeback in the station. She was the grand winner of Viva-produced Search For A Star shown on GMA 7 in 2004.

I remember back then, Rachelle won on GMA Saturday night but she was launched on ABS-CBN s ASAP the next day joining other champions like Sarah Geronimo, Erik Santos, Sheryn Regis and Mark Bautista (who s also now with GMA).

Meanwhile, Manila Bulletin has reported during the week that another singing champion will make a major transfer but it s the other way around, from GMA to ABS-CBN.

Gerald Santos, grand winner on GMA-produced Pinoy Pop Superstar Year 3, reportedly had a pictorial already as a Kapamilya and will be the newest addition on ASAP XV anytime soon.

The 19-year-old balladeer, who s lookin awesome as he grows older, was a regular performer of SOP, which is now replaced by Party Pilipinas.

Erykah Badu charged over scandalous video shoot

American neo-soul singer Erykah Badu has been charged over the
scandalous shoot for her "Window Seat" music video, says news reports
on Good Friday.

Early this week, the said video has been uploaded on Erykah Badu's
site and on Youtube. The "Window Seat" music video shows Erykah
getting naked at a public place, which happens to be the Dealey Plaza
in Dallas, Texas, USA. The place is also the site of former US
President John F. Kennedy's assassination back in 1963.

Even if the scandalous scene is blurred in the video (or even if
there's an uncut video on hand), the Dallas Police considered the
actual video shoot by Erykah Badu in the area last March 13 as the
basis in filing charge against her.

On Good Friday, Erykah Badu has been charged with disorderly conduct
with a corresponding fine of up to $500.

Semana Santa 2010: 5 Fingers of Prayers

I would like to share to you guys some inspirational text messages I
got today for you to reflect and ponder on this Holy Week (Semana
Santa):

5 FINGERS OF PRAYERS
1. Your thumb is nearer to you, so pray for those who are closest to you...
2. Pointing finger: Pray for those who teach, instruct & heal...
3. Tallest finger: Pray for our leaders, they need God's guidance...
4. Ring finger: weakest finger, so pray for those who are weak,
troubled or in need...
5. Little finger: the smallest to remind you to pray for YOURSELF...

***

HOLY WEEK REFLECTIONS:
1) Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
2) Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
3) Sometimes, He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
4) Sometimes, He sends us failure so we can be humble.
5) Sometimes, He sends us illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
6) Sometimes, He takes "everything" away from us so we can learn the
value of "everything" we have.

Have a blessed Holy Week!

Georgina Wilson on 'Wowowee' hosting offer: "I'm still weighing options"

Fil-Brit model Georgina Wilson is reportedly one of two newest hosts
on ABS-CBN's Wowowee.

Wowowee will be reformatted starting April 10 and host Willie
Revillame announced in March that they will be welcoming new hosts in
the show. He didn't give out clues but possibly one of them is
Georgina Wilson, who appears with Willie in his Bench 'Wil' Cologne
TVC.

Georgina has confirmed on her Twitter account that she was indeed
offered but undecided yet to grab it or not. "I haven't agreed to host
anything yet. Still weighing my options and seeing what I want to do /
what I'm capable of doing," she said.

Even if I think Georgina looks so classy for the show, it would be
very refreshing to see her in the show. She's very beautiful, sexy,
tall and smart, and I'm eager to see her wacky side.

The 24-year-old is the ex-girlfriend of actor Richard Gutierrez and
appeared in the music video of Christian Bautista's "Beautiful Girl".
She's also on top of pageant fans' wishlist for Binibining Pilipinas.
I hope she finally joins next year before she exceeds age limit.

Aside from Georgina, also rumored to host Wowowee is Binibining
Pilipinas-Universe 2009 Pamela Bianca Manalo.

Justin Bieber, guest on American Idol's Results Show - March 31

It was one exciting episode of American Idol Season 9 last night,
March 31, 2010, when Justin Bieber dropped by at the show. And I must
say, he looked so good there and has grown up a bit.

A lot of Bieber fans (mostly teens) eagerly waited for his appearance
in the show. He was sittin' front row at the audience and host Ryan
Seacrest introduced Bieber as the guy with the #1 album in the US
today. He was also asked about Usher, who was about to perform in a
minute, and according to Bieber, Usher has made a great influence in
him. (Bieber is currently signed under Usher's record label)

Televiewers weren't able to see his performance but Bieber actually
performed for the live audience. He sang two songs, one of which is
"Baby", and it's going to be aired on a later date, for the show's
Idol Gives Back special.

Eliminated last night was (sadly) Didi Benami saving Tim Urban (yes!)
and Katie Stevens who were part of the Bottom 3. Urban and Stevens
plus 7 other form part the season's Top 9 Finalists which will perform
again on Tuesday for another round of competition.
