Take a look at the sidebar & you'll see that Number 7 in our All-time Most Popular posts is the Cebu guy whose popular Dubmash clips last year first led him to the public eye. Then he won the 'That's My Bae" competition in a local TV show. Our post on him first appeared during the competition itself but his post received steadily accelerating clicks since then. It was one of the 3 most popular posts in the last months of 2015 well into early 2016 (the other consistently popular posts were that of Arci Munoz, currently Number 1 in our list, and that of Ellen Adarna, currently Number 3). Apparently, Kenneth has upped further the ante- he's now a teleserye actor at GMA. Good for them, they have a new star who really looked like a star. Judge for yourself from the clips below how he's faring.

TASTE STORY: Pia has a crush on James Franco....James replied "I Love The Philippines!"
Well, Pia Wurtzbach has taste. When she mentioned in a US TV show interview that James Franco is one of her celebrity crushes (the other two were Seth Rogen & Channing Tatum), James Franco immediately posted the above pic in his Instagram, with the caption: "I love the Philippines!" Needless to say, James Franco also has taste.

The "PINOY BLONDE GLUTATHIONE" Look: "Idoru's"
- At first glance, it looks like the modernized Kabuki look of the Japanese idoru's (idols), but this is actually what I call the "Pinoy Blonde Glutathione" look. We had this former maid who went to work as a nanny in Europe but when she returned for a vacation, she came to visit and I nearly didn't recognize her because she was definitely fair-skinned already and her long hair was blonde. I won't say they look exactly alike, they might get mad.
We know it's not Japanese because the Japanese prefer their idoru's to have small, thin faces, in contrast to the more pronounced moon-facies of mainland Northeast Asian artists (though Ayumi Yamasaki's face expanded as she got older). I am not really a fan of this look, especially when adapted by boys, a look trailblazed by the boys of Johnny Kitagawa (collectively known in Japan as Johnny's boys), a Los Angeles-native transplant in Tokyo who changed the Japanese pop boy look, which was eventually adapted by all the other Northeast Asian boy bands. A Japanese friend said a social engineering "success" that neutered the sexual appeal of a group of people already snickered about in that department.
Though I myself consider the Yayoi-Jomon mixture of Japan- without the stylized Kabuki make-up, that is- as the sexiest among the Northeast Asian Mongoloids.
The song was nice, so was the video. I almost didn't believe it was done by Starmusic. Things must be moving there finally.

The celebration of Pinay beauty has become a tradition worldwide. For 2015, the beauty of the Filipinas was dominant in most of the beauty contests worldwide. We won 6 titles last year, the most for a country. Just to complete your info:

"Жауын астындағы бойжеткен"/ "SHE'S THE ONE": Early Enrique Gil-Liza Soberano Film shown in Kazakhstan TV
The Enrique Gil-Liza Soberano fever is still hot in Kazakhstan. The Kazakhstani TV 31Kanal is still showing the 2013 Enrique Gil teleserye Muling Buksan ang Puso, but it seems the Enrique Gil-Julia Montes was not enough to keep the fans of the Lizquen loveteam from hankering for more.While waiting for their second teleserye, Dolce Amore, there was another option to keep the embers glowing. The 2013 pre-Forevermore film, "She's the One, was dug up and shown about 3 days ago. It had Dingdong Dantes & Bea Alonzo as main leads but it was the first full-length appearance of Enrique & Liza together and that surely made the fans happy.
For now. More options are on the way...

Cute Sexy 2016
To those who have been following us, we all know it all started as "katuwaan" (fun, prank). Pinoy showbiz might as well have been a buzz from outer space for me prior to 2015- but somehow, I found myself developing this child-like wonder in discovering a new world. Somehow, I confirmed Pinoy showbiz is one of the few obvious strengths of the Philippines because of some now-obvious reasons: 1) the East-West look of the Filipino doesn't require much learning curve to appreciate, Pinoy actors are really better-looking and more appealing than what one would normally expect from Far Eastern cinema, 2) the long history of film making in the country which started yet in the last years of the Spanish period, strengthened during the American era & blossomed even after Independence has so honed local expertise that Pinoy products are now well-appreciated in many parts of the world.
Reality check came accidentally. Suddenly I witnessed with my own eyes it was being sabotaged! Neglected by most people & "feeling small" as it was, why would a well-funded supposedly "successful" competitor even bother to sabotage it if it was inconsequential? It became clear to me that in its own quietly competent way & obviously beautiful looks, it is actually the biggest threat to delusions mostly borne out of unfortunate genetics. Bad genetics, particularly if refractory to desperate acrobatics of Plastic Surgery, is a bane to delusions in showbiz.
Well, nothing can be done about that, Plastic Surgery, like any human endeavor, obviously has its limits. We can be magnanimous though. Sabotage can't change genetics anyway.
I exposed some" scandals" along the way. Just read Scandals # 1-8. I now realized they are confirmations Pinoy showbiz has beautiful actors, and that it has come a long way.
Here's to a Cute & Sexy 2016.

After winning a lot of those beauty contests in the previous year, we have here a "pahabol" news- just before 2015 ended, another international beauty contest was won. Tourism Queen of the Year 2015, which was held in Kuala Lumpur,Ms. Leren Mae Bautista, from Laguna, doing the honors this time, the third Filipina to win the title in its short history.
