KC Concepcion on Rogue Magazine cover for January – February 2012

Charice and Jinkee Pacquiao became the cover of some of the country's leading magazines... and it had raised negativity, mostly from the netizens. This month, Rogue Magazine unveiled its January-February 2012 issue with KC Concepcion, exposing her almost perfect butt.

But in fairness to this issue, it gained positive feedback both from citizens and netizens.

KC is currently sporting a shorter hairstyle and I don't know how cutting your own hair can mend a broken heart. Hmmmmm.

And oh, is that Piolo's head? I bet it is really his head. Lol!

Say goodbye to the OA and pa-tweetums KC. Say hello to the bolder and braver (and sexier) KC!

The Amazing Race Philippines Airs on TV5

The Amazing Race Philippines is earlier reported to be hosted by actor Aga Muhlach who currently has Pinoy Explorer on TV-5.

This coming 2012, the Kapatid network is set to turn ‘dreams’ into a ‘reality’ as TV5 ushers the New Year with a formidable line-up of reality programs that promises to shake up Filipinos’ TV viewing experience.

Headlining these new shows is the much awaited and highly anticipated Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Philippines. This touching reality series franchise, originally produced by Endemol, follows the original format of providing home renovations to less fortunate families and communities within the span of seven days. It seems like an impossible task, but with the help of the show’s dedicated design team and kind-hearted volunteers, EM:HE is able to bring a new home and a new hope to the lives of deserving families. For its Philippine debut, the design team will be led and hosted by the country’s “King of Reality TV” Paolo Bediones, who will be joined by Tessa Prieto-Valdez and Divine Lee.

TV5 serves another heartwarming and entertaining reality show in Dancing Nation, a unique and inspiring dance-off competition that unites the whole community toward a common cause. Recognizing the Filipinos’ singing prowess, the network embarks on a nationwide search for true talent in Kanta Pilipinas.

Bringing variety into the mix, TV5 also acquired two big-title reality game shows: The Biggest Game Show in Asia and The Amazing Race Philippines. The Biggest Game Show in Asia will have teams from four South East Asian countries (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Philippines) competing against each other through games and obstacle courses. Hosted by Richard Gomez and Joey de Leon, the show was recently shot at a purpose built production hub in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Fans of The Amazing Race franchise can expect the same level of heart-pumping adventure and thrilling challenges with the all new The Amazing Race Philippines.

Finally, intrigue, drama, and titillating characters will surely spice up your viewing experience with Temptation Island: Dare to Win. Focusing on a group of beautiful young men and women marooned in a beautiful island, this show is inspired by Regal Entertainment’s ‘80s cult classic Temptation Island.

TV5 understands the Filipino viewer and strives to fulfill their aspirations and dreams through this line-up of big reality shows. For 2012, expect only the most amazing and most exciting reality programs that are sure to stir the emotions of Filipinos across the nation.

Movie Review: Contagion

Contagion is a sci-fi drama flick that tackles how people from different walks of life struggled from an airborne native virus. Surprisingly, this movie is a star-studded one; Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cottilard and Jude Law starred this flick.

Let me tell you this in a straight-forward manner: the movie didn’t impress me at all. Nadah.

As a former Biology student with an extensive background in Molecular Biology and Microbiology, facts presented in the movie, like how the virus behaved and the manner it was assayed (a scientific term of analyzing a specimen) were true, except for the part wherein the Virologist/Immunologist found the vaccine in just a short period of time. It was deliberately cut short due to obvious reasons.

But, Contagion really has a promising plot and style. No sarcasm intended on that statement but because there were so many characters presented in the movie, some of them didn’t have any development at all, most especially to Marion Cotillard’s role. It could have been presented better by putting some events that transpired to each main characters as the movie nears its end.

And oh, the ending was really disappointing. Don’t ask me why. You just have to watch it at your own risk.

Worrying that you won't smell good when the world comes to its apocalyptic end?

Fret no more, my friend! Axe had just recently released their latest scent, the Axe 2012 Final Edition.


As a famous perfume product made especially for men, Axe had come to various scents. Most of them are eccentric yet had the power to capture the olfactory sense of women.

The new scent of Axe was aptly named 2012 Final Edition in line with the much-awaited apocalypse.

What I really love about Axe 2012 Final Edition is its unique scent. Despite having a citrus smell, it still has this strong masculine scent. And like any other variants, it's also a body deocologne. It eliminates body odor, leaving the you to have a fresh feeling all day long.

Whether you believe in the upcoming rapture or think that the Mayans just ran out of stones during the process of making their calendars, Axe 2012 Final Edition will surely be the most fragrant body spray that ever existed.

Filming of the 4th Bourne Installment Cancelled; Blames MMDA Cleanup

(LINK TO ORIGINAL ARTICLE)

Sad news for avid fans of Robert Ludlum's Bourne series.

Universal Pictures had just recently announced the cancellation of the film's shooting around Metro Manila due to MMDA's (Metro Manila Development Authority) cleanup drive.

Director Tony Gilroy

"The director and producers have chosen Pasay Taft Rotonda and other locations. Magulo talaga roon and gusto namin ayusin 'to. Nakakahiya!", quipped MMDA Chairman Francisco Tolentino during the interview.

Filming locations include Intramuros, Rizal Park, Pasay Taft Rotonda, Marikina Public Market, Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard and Navotas Fishport were among the included filming locations for the said movie. Director Tony Gilroy had particularly opted for these locations due to its filthiness which perfectly fits the movie's plot.

Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross

"Cleaning those aforementioned places would really destroy the ambiance of the movie that we were aiming for. We could've chosen another country if we wanted a clean environment to shoot at!", Director Gilroy explained in an interview.

Sensing that they did a wrong move, MMDA would gladly return all of the trashes to its original location just to change and appease the mind of the director.

"Baka babalik sila pag ginawa namin iyan. Hopefully", said Tolentino.

The Bourne Legacy is a story centered on a new CIA operative in the universe based on Robert Ludlum’s novels. It stars Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross alongside Ed Norton and Rachel Weisz.
