Supernova

Time of the year for Rockstar season 2 reality show. This year's contenders are all super but sadly somebody has to go home every week. Last night was the first epi and as early as episode 1, I already have my pick. Here are my best bets:

Toby Rand - Australia

My first pick although he's not all too rocker he has a connection with the audience, good pitch and nice bod (hehehe go go surfer dude!). His version of Bob Dylan's Knockin' on Heaven's Door is already a classic. He can be a hollywood movie star too with his looks & intensity. Way to go mate!


Dilana - USA/Africa

You guys should watch her performance! It is available at Rockstar Supernova's website. She gave Kurt Cobain some competition by performing Nirvana's great song Lithium. Her style was superb too, imagine just standing there then rocking on - she made Tommy Lee speechless.


Lukas Rossi - Canada

Reminds me a lot of punk rock guys like Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance & Blik 182. He performed Billy Idol's Rebel Yell & hell yeah he nailed it. Looks like a guy of great potential ang nice personality. He has been on the streets since he's a kid and I'm sure that made him grounded.


And for my fave look wise (yep not talent wise, but he's okay I guess or he wouldn't be a finalist out of 25,000 aspirants from all around the globe). Presenting:

Phil Ritchie - USA

He performed Living Colour's Cult of Personality from 1988 Vivid album hits (I did my homework, I researched). He's a hottie and although he looks like Zach Braff in this photo on TV he's really lean and not too much of a hardcore rocker in appearance. He has class and Tommy knows it he even commented that he's --(some rocker I wasn't able to get the name, I think Mick Jagger) who went to finishing school.

I went to the website early today and found out that Matt was already eliminated, I thought it's gonna be Chris, good for Chris he still has a shot to redeem himself.

Fever + Rising Temperature = HOT

“Do you have plans for tonight Tita Anne?”

Got that message from my good friend Dinah. Knowing the ever busy Dines, I thought she needs a friend to talk to because something happened. Told here nothing special was planned for that night (and of course I wanted to be there for her for whatever reasons she has - why she wanted to meet up). She asked me if I could go with her and watch Bench Fever, she got 2 tickets with good seats. Thinking it was a movie (Benchwarmers was the one I was thinking about), told her I’d be happy to go with her. She gave me the game plan (she’ll pick me up after office then we’re off to Makati, she’ll park the car there then we’ll catch the MRT going to Cubao) – I was lost why go to Cubao to watch a movie when both of us are working here in Alabang. Town Centre would be the perfect choice but when I reviewed her initial message, hmmm Bench Fever not warmers pala (I was actually confused cos I am aware that the movie was shown weeks ago and I doubt it if there are still cinemas screening it, with Superman invading all cinemas that week). Yikes, okay underwear and jeans fashion show pala.

Temperature’s rising (at ang daming bading!!!), we were sitting on a good spot not knowing what to expect. Then the show started, everybody went wild. At first Dines & I were just sitting there okay lots of models in their underwear so what? But when celebs we know emerged on the cat walk, we then found ourselves paying attention to the show. As in all eyes.

Special mention to my personal favorites who deserves wails & cheers & admiration (hehehe): Jake Cuenca, Zanjoe, Bianca King, Rafael Rosel, Francine Prieto, Ruffa Mae and Alex de Rossi. And the highlight of the show? Not Richard & Lucy (although they’re the finale) it’s Ai Ai and Keanna! Yep yep – these two paraded in their under wears.

Village People and Sister Sledge performed some of their hits and they entertained the crowd.

The show was really something. I will post the okay (wholesome lang) pictures from my camera phone soon (yes nakuhanan ko sila!!!).

Man of Steel is Back

I am inlove...

Went to watch Superman Returns at Mall of Asia's Imax theatre last Wednesday (the screening time was actually Thursday morning na) and my verdict?


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

The movie house rockz (except for little things like blackout and super tagal na paghihintay cos we were supposed to watch the 12 am screening, guess what we were able to sit inside the theatre at 12:45, ewan kung anong pinaggagawa ng management sa loob at kung bakit nataggalan). The crowd? Wala akong masabe, the black out lasted for about 15 minutes pero walang nagreklamo, walang sumigaw ngi walang nag snide comments!!!

I even saw Jo on last night’s news hehehe, there was a GMA news crew at the screening, videoing people who are going to watch the midnight screening because it was the first day of the movie and must be because there were celebrities, kaya ganun na lang iwas namin sa camera hehehe mahirap na baka madiscover.

My final verdict??? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH pa rin ;)
