Maricel Soriano Named Preview Magazine's Best Dressed for 2009

The Diamond Star Maricel Soriano made it to this year’s list of Preview Magazine’s Best Dressed Women.

Maricel Soriano could not believe that she’s one of Preview’s Best Dressed Women for 2009. She said she’s skeptical at first and thought that it might be a joke. After finding herself in a pictorial together with the other best dressed women, Maricel expressed her joy in working with the girls.

"My golly, ang sarap to work with them because they are all bubbly and they really made me feel special." Maricel said in an interview.

Other women who made it in Preview Magazine’s 2009 Best Dressed List include Alex Suarez, fashion model Bea Soriano, real estate heiress Divine Lee, Thai model and veejay Paula Taylor, Kai Lim, and choreographer Georcell Dapat.

Maribel Verdú Premio del Cine




La actriz Maribel Verdú, es la ganadora este año del Premio Nacional de Cinematografía , que concede el Ministerio de Cultura, del cual está al frente, la Ministra menos amada de los internautas señora Sinde.
Lo mejor de este premio, a mi entender, los 30.000 euros que conlleva. Con eso ya se pasan unas buenas vacaciones.
A Maribel Verdú la hemos visto crecer, en todos los aspectos. Empezó muy niña en la cosa de la farándula. Y es una gran actriz.
La recuerdo muy niña con Jorge Sanz en una serie, creo.
Está casada con Pedro Larrañaga desde 1999.
En fin, Felicidades Señora Maribel Verdú.

Mischa Barton se divierte besando mujeres




La actriz de la serie "The OC", (que reconozco no conocer), dice que besar a una mujer es menos tenso, que besar a un hombre.
Bueno, bien, como no he probado, ni le quito ni le doy la razón, ella sabrá lo que dice.
Aunque a mi lo que de verdad me asquea, más que el sexo en el beso, es la halitosis. A estas alturas ya no me molesta casi nada de lo que se cuenta y me entero.
Pero la peste no la soporto.

Hombres G en riguroso directo




Me encanta este grupo, son salaos y muy buenos músicos.
Ahora copiaré parte de un post de Bitacoras.com , Por chiara en Bitacoras TV
El título : Hombres G 2.0
El jueves pasado asistimos a la presentación del nuevo proyecto de Hombres G, la mítica banda española de los 80; un encuentro en el que David Summers, Rafa Gutiérrez, Dani Mezquita y Javier Molina nos contaron los detalles de esta iniciativa, que va más allá de lo musical y tendrá en la web HombresG.tv una plataforma desde la que dar a conocer de primerísima mano todo lo que rodea al grupo madrileño: nuevos temas, ensayos, giras, proyectos. Para ello se apoyarán igualmente (ya lo hacen) en las nuevas herramientas que la Web 2.0 pone a su disposición como blogs, Twitter o Facebook. Conversando con el público como nunca antes se pudo hacer.
Nos atendieron con amabilidad y cercanía; entre ellos se apreciaba una complicidad quizá poco habitual en otros grupos que, como ellos, han compartido más de dos décadas de aventuras. David Summers, nos contó que él, como el resto del público, ya no compra CDs y que utiliza Internet especialmente para consumir música. Carlos Jean, cómplice del proyecto como algo más que simple productor, se sinceró comentándonos que le daba igual lo que dijese la Ministra de Cultura, Ángeles González Sinde, poco dada a ayudar a los músicos, al margen de la industria. Os invitamos a ver el vídeo que hemos preparado sobre la presentación y a escuchar en él, en riguroso directo, algunos de los temas con que nos deleitaron en una noche inolvidable. La organización del evento corrió a cargo de Roberto Carreras.

Angelina Jolie ama a Brad




Al menos eso dice, lo ha comentado en la revista Ok . Por mi que sea verdad.
Aunque se dice, que una mentira repetida muchas veces alcanza categoría de verdad.
Me parece muy bien, que ambos, Brad y Angelina, se declaren su amor vía periódicos o revistas.
Hacerlo a través de twitter ya está muy visto y hasta queda cutre para dos estrellonas de su relumbrón.
A mi me recuerdan a las parejas de la época dorada de Hollywood .
Como Bogart y Bacall, Taylor y Burton, Laurel y Hardy.
En fin, que coman perdices iba a decir. Pero mejor que coman lo que quieran, y , sobre todo Angelina que coma, o se nos quedará en el chasis.

Sandra Bullock odia a Penélope Cruz




La actriz Sandra Bullock , actualmente triunfando en las pantallas USA.
Se acercó a España para presentar su peli "La Proposición". Y como aquí mucho no es lo que se la tiene en cuenta.
Hizo su papel de "mala", soltando "perlas encadenadas". Igual alguna era cierta. No sería la primera actriz que parece simpática y es una bruja con escoba incorporada.
Dijo que odiaba a PE por guapa y talentosa. A mi esta afirmación más que odio me parece amor.
Su coprota en la peli, es el bello marido de Scarlett , Ryan Reynolds. Por verle, vale la pena pagar una entrada.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers arrestado en Paris




Con lo hermoso que es a la par que bien hecho, me refiero al prota de "Los Tudor" Jonathan Rhys Meyers, resulta que le gustan, quizá en exceso, las parrandas.
Claro, con 31 años, libras/euros por un tubo, y el recuerdo en mente de Enrique VIII, al que interpretó muy rebien.
Algo del Rey Enrique se le ha pegado, menudo era aquel majestuoso barbazul.

Megan Fox is The Dumbest Celebrity Ever

World's sexiest Megan Fox was named 'The Dumbest Celebrity Ever' by a British tabloid, just hours after being voted as 'World’s Sexiest Woman' by FHM Magazine.

Megan drew flak for her call to legalize cannabis and her obsession with her looks.

"The American has amazed fans with her ignorance as she travels the world promoting her movies with red-carpet comments and magazine interviews," wrote Daily Mail in a report counting down the 23-year-old's gaffes.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Fox had questioned her own mental health saying, "I think that I’m so psychotic and so mentally ill that if I could tap into that I could do something really interesting."

The stunner had also recently criticized fellow actress Scarlett Johannson for her intellectual attempts.

"I don’t want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson, I don’t want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I’ve ever learned to prove like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak'." Megan had said.

Lady Gaga Live in Manila

Penélope es la más maciza




Eso dice su compañera de reparto en "Nine", la actriz francesa Marion Cotillard.
A esta buena de Marion, interpretar a Edith Piaf la ha dejado "tocada". Y el Oscar que ganó aún más.
Penélope será encantadora, agradable, o lo que quieras. ¿Pero maciza?, si tiene tamaño de pitufo, y pesa menos que Garbancito de La Mancha.
Bueno, quizá Marion necesite gafas, o se ha enamorado, y ya se sabe que el amor es ciego.
Hala hija, que no sea nada, y todo acabe con bien.
Aunque mira, querida Marion, más guapa eres tu que Javier Bardem, eso si. Suerte!!!

Perez Hilton Punching Incident with Black Eyed Peas

Famous celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was reportedly had a heated argument with Fergie and Will.i.am of Black Eyed Famous which eventually turned into a worst-punching incident with the group's tour manager Liborio "Polo" Molina outside a bar in Toronto, Canada.


The incident happened on early Monday of June 22 at Cobra Toronto Night Club during the after-party of the MuchMusic Video Awards 2009.

After the much publicized incident, Will.i.am immediately issued an official statement condemning violence and insinuating the right for respect. Read below:

I will not continue to comment specifically on the incident that happened in Toronto last weekend… But I would hate for my silence to be misconstrued… I do not condone harassment or violence of any kind…

No one deserves physical abuse…
And no one deserves verbal abuse…
No one deserves that…

Everyone needs to be respected…
And no ones name should be slandered in the name of hate and disrespect…
And fyi…”not every black man is a thug”…

As far as character allegations made against myself,
The members of the Black Eyed Peas,
And members of our management…
I believe that the truth will speak for itself once the details of the events are fully presented.

Hateful slurs…
Racial or gay should not be used as verbal weapons to provoke violence…

Let us all learn from the events that happened in Toronto…
That situation has already taken valuable time, energy,
And attention away from more important,
And in some cases, devastating issues happening in our world.
Thank you…

Will.i.am

And Perez Hilton has this video below to clear his name on the incident and to shed light on what really happened during that night:



And others have spoken too:

Rashad Robinson, Senior Director of Media Programs at GLAAD (The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) : "These are vulgar anti-gay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community. For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, ‘The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,’ is incredibly dangerous. It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes. We have reached out to Hilton and asked him to apologize for promoting this anti-gay slur and we would ask media outlets to avoid repetition of the slur in their coverage of this story."

Pop culture chronicler Rich Juzwiak: "I just kind of want to throw up my hands (or in my hands) and call out this character, this persona, this online half-person for what it is: bad for the Internet, bad for gay people, bad for the world. I can’t help but feel like everything would be better off without him… I racked my brain and I’ve still come up with absolutely nothing positive or pro-social that he has brought to the world."

27-year-old American Idol champ Kelly Clarkson: "I gotta be honest with you, he’s gonna get a lot of flowers. I’m not talking about Perez, the manager. (laughs) I do not think violence is the answer but what did you expect? You can’t talk that much crap about people without being able to take something. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already! (laughs) I hear that he’s mean to celebrities’ kids. You’re hurtful to children, no one’s going to pity you. I don’t understand! I don’t think anyone should be punched but I see why someone would want to do it."

Fergie’s husband, Josh Duhamel: "When you get rich saying hateful things sometimes you ask for it. It’s an unfortunate incident and I hope it goes away."

The View host Whoopi Goldberg: "When you get clocked by the pen, it’s never fun, and some people, you don’t know how they’re going to respond to you, and you might just want to take that into consideration."

British pop star Leona Lewis, is again, voted as the Sexiest Celebrity Vegetarian in the World.

This is the second time that X-Factor winner Lewis has been voted Sexiest Vegetarian by PETA or People for Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Lewis has been a vegetarian since the age of 12. She inspires fans all around the world by her commitment to advocating a vegetarian lifestyle.

Leona’s male counterpart, however, is 38-year-old British actor/model Scott Maslen. Scott is perhaps best known for his portrayal as DS Phil Hunter in ITV’s The Bill and now Jack Branning on the BBC’s flagship soap EastEnders.
