Rocco Nacino's Girlfriend

StarStruck V's Rocco Nacino's girlfriend of two years, Yvonne Romero. What can you say? I can sense a break-up. Just kidding. But really, sudden fame and lack of time can do that. Rocco is currently one of the favorites among the male contestants, and he's got some talent to back up that pretty face,...

StarStruck V - Fianca Cruz Goes Bye-Bye

Fianca Cruz got eliminated. She must have hated it more with the bangs she got from the make-over. Imagine changing your hair and then booting you out! I have nothing against it, though. I just feel for the girl. Anyway, the elimination was predicted by the show's fans, saying that Fianca was the...

PBB Double Up - People Evicted Yuri Okawa

It wasn't surprising at all that people voted against Yuri Okawa with a passion. Yeah, only those like her will like her (read: Mariel). Yuri got 26.52% of votes.

StarStruck V's Final 14

Ian Batherson, Sef Cadayona, Rocco Nacino From my list of 5 favorites, the one that I favored the most didn't make it to the top 14. Well, the other 4 did, so I'm happy just the same. On the guys, there's Ian Batherson, and I like him for his physique. Actually, if the network is gonna build him...

PBB Double Up – There Goes Rob

Rob got the boot. Thanks God it's neither Jason, Carol, nor Rica. I wanted Rob or Patrick out just to give justice to what they did to Rica. And Rocky said he called Rica a "sheman" because he's already so comfortable with the girls? Oh c'mon. Then why did he say that when only the boys could...

Rhap Salazar on Ellen

Oops! Looks like someone is following the footsteps of Charice. No other than the best friend himself, Rhap Salazar.

SP: Palau - The Final Three

Part 2 of the Tribal Council had been full of anger. The desperation among each of the four remaining ones were so evident. There was this side of Charles that came out - that angry and palaban side of him. He had always been calm, with moderate voice, even during the heat of Justine's freak-out moment back at the camp. But it was different at the Tribal Council. He was even commanding Jef to tell...

SP: Palau - The Desperation Arises

Amanda talked to Charles in going against Justine. She pointed out to Charles that he has no chance in winning the top prize if he's going to compete it out with Justine. Charles somehow believed Amanda that's why he promised to give her the Immunity Necklace. But Justine somehow overheard it all, especially Jef and Amanda's conversation of plotting to vote Justine out. Justine was furious. She kept...

Charice Needs Our Support

I love Charice. Not just because she's a Filipino, but because she really is very talented. I just hope they're not making her look way older than her age. And because I love her, I voted for her at oprah.com's The Best of 2009, under the Best Oprah Show Musical Performance category. Do you love...

SP: Palau - Charles Wins Immunity/Condo Unit

Amanda was so disappointed with what happened to Mika and after the Tribal Council, she kept her distance from the other 3 castaways. She slept on the other side of the shelter and she didn't speak at all. Charles got the tree mail that told them of the last Immunity Challenge. It's another test of...

Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" Music Video

Oh-em-gee! That's all we can say while watching this music video of Kris Allen's single Live Like We're Dying. His voice was so far from when he sang No Boundaries at the American Idol Season 8 finals. I'm a self-confessed Adam Lambert fan but hey, Kris Allen isn't bad at all! In fact, we love this...

SP: Palau - Mika's Fight Ends

Amanda and Mika turned to Charles when they were quite sure Jef's not with them anymore. But despite the pinky promise Charles made with Mika, he remained true to Justine and Jef. The three voted for Mika, while Amanda and Mika voted for Jef. Tara and Echo made a high-five when Mika was announced eliminated. Tara even kept fanning herself with her hand. Such victory for them to have Mika out and...

Langit-Lupa

If Amanda and Mika felt like 7-year-olds with the dolphins, the other 3 castaways also had so much fun playing Langit-Lupa at the camp. Jef was so happy she wished Amanda and Mika wouldn't go back just yet so they won't be stressed. The three made a plan of telling Amanda and Mika that they had already told Charles about his fate, so Charles should act sad like he already knew he'd be voted off....

The new girls of House A was given a chance to have another male housemate from the other house. The chance was given to them to even out gender distribution in their house.

SP: Palau - Goodbye Suzuki

The game is getting more exciting than ever, with the weak castaways (read: Charles and Jef) using their minds to strategize in order to survive. Jef realizes (for the nth time) that everything is just being fed to her by Mika. Good thing she realizes that before it's too late. When the first 3 members of the jury joined the Tribal Council, Amanda was made to stay in her seat while the rest of the...
