This is Kristen Stewart’s new look on the cover of W Magazine’s September issue. Are you feeling it?
Personally, I still prefer her ‘Bella Swan’ look, although she looks positively gorgeous in these photos.
With the skyrocketing prices of fuel these days, it is not surprising to see gas companies holding promotions here and there. We usually fuel our car at Petron and in the past month alone, we have received different promotional materials, such as pens, ID slings, key holders and notebooks.
We do not really use some of the items they give us. We have been out of school for years now, so we don’t really need notebooks or ID slings. Still, I think giving promotional materials to customers is a good way to reach out and make customers feel appreciated.
Aside from that, the items serve as good marketing tools. They bear the company’s name and/or logo, so whoever uses it somehow becomes an unofficial endorser of the company. In our case, we give the items to other people who can use them, so we are, in a way, also helping them promote their brand by sharing their giveaways to our friends.
These promotional items do not have to be expensive. To be able to reach as many customers within a certain budget, companies usually prefer cheap promotional pens or mugs or calendars. Other people can easily see if one is using them, so they make good advertising tools as well.
Apparently, you can’t name your child ‘Lucifer’ in New Zealand.
The country’s Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages has prevented parents from naming their children Lucifer or Adolf Hitler.
The name Messiah was blocked too, along with one-letter names such as C, D, I and T, and titles like Baron, Bishop, Duke, General, Judge, Justice, King, Knight and Mr.
This is due to the possibility that these names may scar the children as they grow up, just like what happened to the girl named Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii. She had her name legally changed at 9.
I’m fine with the titles, but Lucifer or Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii?! Why would you want to name your little bundle of joy such atrocious names? It’s like denying them of their first chance to live a normal life right at birth!
The camp of Andi Eigenmann still refuses to name the father of her unborn child. Many have speculated that the father is “Mara Clara” actor Albie Casiño while some are saying it could be Jake Ejercito, son of former President Joseph Estrada and Laarni Enriquez.
Both Andi’s parents, Jaclyn Jose and Mark Gil, have been seen on TV with tears in their separate interviews regarding their daughter’s pregnancy. On June 29, Jaclyn Jose gave the family’s first public admission that her daughter is already 4 months pregnant. The day after, Andi cleared Jake Ejercito and said she only started seeing him 2 months ago.
She posted on her Twitter account, “For your better understanding, I’ve only had one boyfriend before Jake whom I’ve only been seeing for the past 2 months. Therefore, Jake cannot be the said ex-boyfriend whom everyone has been talking about. #commonsense”
Recently, Mark Gil mentioned that the baby’s father has allegedly hurt Andi physically and accused her of being a playgirl on social networking site Formspring, two issues Albie Casiño has been thrown in the past.
We may never really know who the real father of Andi’s baby is. Even if Andi’s camp names him, if the guy’s camp denies it, who could say whose side is really telling the truth?
At this point, it should not matter much who the father is. What Andi should focus on is her baby’s health and well-being. If the guy is not man enough to face his responsibility, it’s his loss more than hers.
Coca Cola and Pepsi have taken their battle online, with funny videos that have been passed on from one entertained viewer to another.
Here’s Coca Cola’s Happiness Truck video. It shows a mysterious Coca Cola truck, whose driver and staff remain hidden during the entire trip, giving out free Coke of different sizes and other cool items to those who press the Coke button. Huge smiles are seen as people get stuffed toys, flowers, guitar, toys, lechon baboy (roasted pig) and more!
Meanwhile, here’s Pepsi’s “Sa Akin ang Pinas” (Philippines Is Mine) video that shows a parody of old Filipino action flicks. If you have watched a Pinoy action film (or even not) before, you will surely find this super funny.
Not everything that glitters is gold. Sometimes, it’s an iPad.
Our new iPad 2 is protected by a red Product leather SmartCover, a Speck screen protector and a Capdase ProKeeper SlipinShell case, and our peers are already saying it’s “overprotected.” Wait ’til they see this diamond-encrusted iPad from Camael Diamonds, worth $1.2 million!
If budget is tight, you can settle for a gold-plated iPad for only $146,000. Aw.
Multimedia artist Jolina Magdangal and Rivermaya drummer Mark Escueta have announced their engagement on GMA 7′s Sunday variety show “Party Pilipinas” yesterday, June 5.
Mark said “Yung tunay na pag-big pala ay di lang nangyayari sa mga pelikula. At noong mga nakaraang linggo dumating na po ang pinakamasayang araw sa buhay ko at ang simula ng isang bagong bahagi ng buhay namin ni Jolina… Kaya sa unang pagkakataon, gusto ko pong ipakikilala sa inyo ang aking magiging butihang maybahay, ang tanging anghel na dumating sa buhay ko. Ang akin pong magiging asawa, si Jolina Magdangal.”
They admitted they became a couple in 2009.
Pop sensation Justin Bieber and “Wizards of Waverly Place” star Selena Gomez can’t seem to get their hands and lips off each other during their recent Hawaii vacation.
The couple was seen kissing in multiple occasions over their Hawaii escape. They were found kissing while riding a speedboat. They were even found locking lips while being hoisted by a parachute!
The picture on the left looks like a couple that has been together for quite a while. But the more disturbing thoughts on the photo are: (1) Isn’t Justin too young to be seen kissing in public like this? and (2) Wow! Justin Bieber has strong arms!
Beliebers, are you happy for the Biebs? Or are you itching to grab Selena’s neck and get rid of her? Sound off below!
It’s not normally noticed by an average moviegoer, but for film buffs and those who stick it out until the credits totally roll out, it (or the lack of it) is sticking like a sore thumb
Matt McDaniel of Yahoo! Movies Movie Talk writes about it in this article. He says that the logo of the American Humane Association (AHA) — where the disclaimer “No animals were harmed” is prominently displayed — is not present in the R-rated film’s credits.
What’s surprising about this? Much of the story of The Hangover Part II involves a capuchin monkey that “guides” the film’s characters into solving the mystery of their forgotten day in Bangkok. According to the monkey’s trainer, the animal was very much safe throughout the entire shooting.
AHA was reportedly not invited to witness the filming of The Hangover Part II, and therefore cannot certify the safety of the animals involved in the movie.
Ashton Kutcher is joining the cast of the top-rated TV comedy “Two and A Half Men,” after an ugly word war between Charlie Sheen and the show’s producers resulted to Sheen being booted off the show.
Chuck Lorre (show’s creator and executive producer): We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family. Added to that is the deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it’d be illegal.
Charlie Sheen: Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer. Oh wait, so am I! … Enjoy the show, America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB! Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there.
Jon Cryer: I’m also looking forward to this new beginning. Ashton is an extraordinarily talented guy and his presence will be an asset to our show.
Ashton Kutcher: I can’t wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in the viewers’ homes. I can’t replace Charlie Sheen but I’m going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!
