ABS-CBN vs GMA

Jan 12, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: Entertainment

With the controversial dispute of the two big entertainment company, we’re thinking who is behind the truth.

Who is telling the truth? Share your thoughts, join the poll here.

celebbigwinner010508.jpgThe evening started with a roaring 20s themed number with Kuya, Toni, ex-celebrity housemate Mcoy Fundales and special guests Nikki Gil and Vina Morales. Toni is soon joined by Uber hosts Bianca and Mariel, looking very fabulous in their colorful evening gowns. In a back take on the happenings inside the house which started last October 14, the ex-celebrity HMs made their appearances on stage one by one.

While all these were happening, Will, Riza, Ruben and Gaby waited patiently for Kuya’s signal to leave the house. Soon, the first of Kuya’s special visitors of the night appeared. Ms. Mercy Cabrillas of Tahanang Sta. Luisa, Jon’s chosen charity’s representative, received a check worth P20,000, the coins they used for the Big Four special task converted by Big Brother to fulfill the four’s request for the ‘fifth placer’.

PinoyBigBrotherRiza gave another one of her shocking screams when her father came in next. Mr. Ruel Santos shared some encouraging words for his daughter and was also very pleased to meet the other housemates. Will, on the other hand, received a special phone call from his mother, Doris Dorman, from the States. Kuya mentioned that he had a hard time locating Will’s mom for apparently she relocated to homes. Will was so pleased to hear from his mother that he could not help but shed a tear or two. Ruben also jumped for joy upon seeing his uncle whom he affectionately calls Papa Locloc. He proudly introduced to the housemates the man who inspired him to be a comedian. Last but not the least is Gaby’s older brother, Jan. The housemates were amazed how he was so much like Gaby. He even joked a lot with them despite having a sprained leg. All of the housemates only had 100 seconds each to speak to their loved ones and these short moments left them craving to see the outside world more.

PinoyBigBrotherMeanwhile, Ethel was on a roll at the Big Night stage with her fellow comedians who were ready to give their hilarious sketches of the Big Four. Tuesday Vargas took the stage first as the Racing Goddess. The crowd could not help but laugh with her on the spot imitation of Gaby. A ‘bald’ RS Francisco transformed into Will and emphasized the Fil-German’s effort to speak tagalog in spite of his twisted tongue. He and Ethel cracked the audience up as they re-enacted the love team-that-would-just-not-be. Giselle Sanchez, who took on the role of last season’s fourth big placer Gee Ann Abrahan, became Riza. Beauty conscious like the Cheering Chick, Giselle carried a compact wherever she went. Also she went from conservative to screaming girl just like Riza when she saw her mother. The comedian from Davao was portrayed by Ricci Chan, who copied Ruben’s trademark Budotz dance and failed first marriage proposal.

PinoyBigBrotherFinally the Big Four arrive at the Araneta and were ushered in a mini confession room backstage. Jon, Victor, Baron and Mariel made a skit reminiscent of their Kaishou Taishou task to announce what the winners will be receiving. The Fourth Big Placer will be receiving P400,000 from Jack and Jill snacks and ABS-CBN while his/her chosen charity will be getting P200,000 from Globe Asiatique. The Third Big Placer in turn will be getting P600,000 from Jack and Jill snacks and ABS-CBN and his/her chosen charity will be given P300,000 from Globe Asiatique. The Second Big Placer is to receive a whopping P1,000,000 from Jack and Jill snacks and ABS-CBN and his/her chosen charity P500,000 from PinoyBigBrotherGlobe Asiatique. The Big Winner will be taking home a Sony Bravia, a Goodah business franchise worth P2,000,000, a condominium unit from Chateau Valenzuela and P2,000,000 cash from Jack and Jill snacks and ABS-CBN. His/her charity on the other hand will be receiving a million from Globe Asiatic. Toni also mentions that Gaby’s prizes will have a deduction because of her two week stay outside the house. She too reminds everyone of the Big Four’s pledge of 10% of their winnings to Mommy Yayo.

Miss World Pageant Triava

Dec 15, 2007 Author: admin | Filed under: Entertainment

Since it started in 1951, the Miss World pageant has registered a total of 3,571 contestants. This year, it scores a record-high with 107 contestants (tied with the year 2004), among them our bet Margaret “Maggie” Wilson, competing in the grand finals slated for Saturday, Dec. 1, 2007 (covered “live” by ABC 5 starting at 8:30 PM) in Sanya, China. Miss World Organization headed by Julia Morley can rightfully claim that the Miss World crown is the most coveted among the global beauty pageants. This piece of information comes from Funfare’s “other beauty expert” Celso de Guzman Caparas (now working in Saudi) who made a list of interesting trivia and anecdotes about the pageant. 

-         1953 delegate from Norway, Solveig Gulbrandsen, is the twin sister of Synnove Gulbrandsen, a semi-finalist in the Miss Universe pageant the same year.

      -         1954 Miss World Antigone Costanda of Egypt failed to relinquish her crown on Oct. 20, 1955 due to hostilities between Egypt and Great Britain over the Suez Canal. Instead, 1955 Miss World winner, Carmen Susana Duijm Zubillaga of Venezuela, was crowned by British actress Eunice Gayson. Zubillaga was also a semi-finalist in Miss Universe1955 pageant. -        1965 first runner-up Dianna Lynn Batts of USA would later be known as Dian Parkinson of The Price is Right (aired from 1975 to 1993). She was Miss District of Columbia 1965 and fourth runner-up in Miss USA 1965 pageant. Dian was the cover girl of Playboy in December 1991 and May 1993.

Prior to the activity, everyone came out of the confession with a big piggy bank. As per Big Brother’s instruction, each of the housemates must get a coin from the ceramic piggy bank. Each coin contains a specific stunt which they must teach their piglet to do. Gladys first tried getting a coin from the small hole in the piggy bank with the use of a kitchen knife. The rest helped out in holding the piggy bank upside down, trying to be careful not to break it. But after several minutes with no luck, Kuya advised Gladys that they can carve a bigger hole, but they just have to make sure that the piggy bank won’t break.

Gladys was the first one to get a coin, and she picked the one that read “sit.” Yayo also got the same coin while Ruben picked “shake paw”. Gaby was surprised when she learned she had to teach Porkchop how to “stand on hind legs.” Riza also picked the same trick, while Jon and Baron both have to teach their respective piglets how to “lie down.”

08-1205pigtricks.jpgAfter drawing their assignments, the housemates all headed straight to the pen to get their wards. Gladys took charge of Babe and aside from the piglet’s stubborn ways, the Patawa Queen found it hard to get a filthy and stinky piglet learn new tricks. Meanwhile, Gaby’s very serious in training Porkchop, but while doing so, the Racing Goddess tripped into the pool and soaked her lapel mic. Poor Gaby! Would Kuya punish her like he did Will?

How will the HMs fare in their ‘tricky’ task? Keep it here for updates on the piglets’s progress. Don’t forget to watch Uber this afternoon at 5:30 for another fun and exciting game between the Wasabi Team and the Lee Family!

Jon Avila - English Outcast

Nov 13, 2007 Author: admin | Filed under: PBB Celebrity Edition 2

Jon Avila - English OutcastViewers know Jon for his good looks and admirable body. However, despite the fame he is experiencing now, Jon has not had an easy life growing up in London. Jon struggled with harsh racial discrimination since he was the only Asian in school. Because of being constantly ostracized by his schoolmates, Jon’s self-esteem hit rock bottom. The bullying finally came to an end when he entered college where he found real friends.

Then he traveled to the Philippines in search of a new life, but to his disappointment, more trials and difficulties came his way. Jon recalls the time when he used to live in a small room with no air con and electricity. For some time, he slept on a cheap mattress, feeling lonely and missing the company of family and friends. But just like a true Filipino, Jon managed to rise above all the hardships. He persevered to fend for himself, shedding off some extra pounds and later becoming one of the most sought after male models in the country. Despite the Western upbringing, Jon never forgot his Filipino roots. When he came back to the Philippines, he felt a greater privilege of being liked by Filipinos.

Will Jon finally find the truest sense of belonging inside the Big Yellow house?
