CARRIE!!!

I'm sorry I doubted you last week, but after your rendition of Angels brought me here, I knew you would make it. Congratulations! I've a feeling you'll break AI records in terms of album sales and concert attendance. I might not enjoy all the country music, but as long as you sing it, it sounds good enough.

In my opinion, you're the best American Idol ever.

Box, box, box

I was able to catch the last three episodes of The Contender. I regret not becoming a fan from the start especially after watching the finale. Wow, that's a good show. Good boxing! They had such a good finale too! No doubt, they'll have a rematch.

That's hot, and it's juicy too!

LOS ANGELES - A Web site touting Paris Hilton's racy television spot for burger chain Carl's Jr. crashed for four hours as Internet surfers raced to see the seductive swimsuit-clad socialite doused in suds.

The 30-second commercial, which features the hotel heiress washing a Bentley and chomping on Carl's Jr.'s Spicy BBQ Burger in a stringy black swimsuit, has generated media attention since hitting the TV airwaves last Thursday. whole story here.

Check out the commercial here. It is hot.

Just morse me

Olf fashioned morse code beats texting by a dash in a recent contest. Click here for full story. Well, there you go.

Mossimo Bikini Summit

This is so sad.

It's always fun to watch beauty pageants. You get "pretty" people who flaunt their stuff. Some people think that these contests focus too much on physical appearance. Well I say, it's not so bad at all. The real gem in these "summits" are in the question & answer portions. That's where you find out how shallow and dumb these "beauties" are.

How do you justify glorifying your body? (and just your body because as the interviews show, that's all they really have) Reading through the answers and attitudes of the contestants you also get to differentiate between the dumb, the sluts, and the just plain clueless.

"I have a beautiful body and I will flaunt it for the country to see." Yes, we can all see your beautiful body. We can also see all the other interesting and worthwhile aspects of your life and personality--or the lack of it.

Amazing.

Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against beautiful bodies. I love them. I'm just against empty heads, shallow lives, and lifelong delusions.

Poor lil Jasmine

So Jasmine Trias is back in the country and she's going to make an OPM album. Gee, I wonder what happened?

I never liked her. She's such a fake Filipino. She has Filipino roots sure, but she ain't Filipino. She's back in the country and making an album because she doesn't have a chance in hell to make a career for herself in the states. That's so sad and pathetic. So, did you miss the mob that you ignored when you first got here?

You think you can start a career here? You can't either. You know why? Put simply, you aren't talented enough and you don't even have enough charisma.

Your fifteen minutes have passed. We aren't your seconds. No one even noticed you're back in the country. Stop pretending and get back to your US life.

It's in the bag for Bo Bice

Top 3? We can skip right to the MTVs and the album launch. It's settled. Bo will be the 4th American Idol. And this is coming from a Carrie fan. If Constantine was in the top 3, Carrie would even end up in 3rd. Sorry Carrie, good work Bo!

There's something about Mischa

From the first time I saw Misha Barton, I was a bit confused. She looks hot. She's pretty. But there's a catch.. she looks too much like a grown up Olsen twin. Can you see it?

And I don't know why, but there's just something wrong with thinking that an Olsen twin is hot.

Alfie

What’s it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What’s it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?

And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there’s a heaven above, Alfie,

I know there’s something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you’ve missed you’re nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you’ll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

Pepsi Fire & Ice

To support the launch, a special blockbuster commercial featuring two of Asia's biggest stars, Tata Young and Vanness Wu, was produced. In the commercial, Tata who represents the spirit of Pepsi Fire and Vanness who represents the spirit of Pepsi Ice are transported to the lost civilization of the Aztecs. [from Food & Beverage Singapore]

I liked the commercial a lot. Confirmed that the two people are Tata Young and Vaness F4. Great marketing! They came out with two drinks instead of just one. The two drinks' contrasting images are interesting too (though it doesn't take that long before you speculate that "ice" could probably be just Pepsi blue and "fire" could be a red Pepsi X). Nonetheless, the commercial makes me want to try out the drinks.


I LOVE LOST !

I absolutely love this show! I just finished downloading the second half of the season and I'm going to finish it tomorrow. I couldn't stand another week of waiting so I decided to download it.

God, I love this show. The story and concept is just brilliant. I love all the sub-stories and the plot twists. That weird sound where the lost logo appears on screen is so creepy. Galing!

Evangeline Lilly is so hot! Looked her up, she's smart too. She even served a humanitarian org and lived in the Philippine jungles. Wow! Well okay, that's worth another post.

Renee

I was watching Still Standing last night and the daughter caught my eye. I've a thing for red heads and she seemed like she had so much potential. Could be a future Nicole or Julianne. Checked out who she is on the net and lo and behold: it was Renee Olstead.

I've already posted something about Renee Olstead before and now I'm reposting. That elevates my fan status. To those who know who she is, I know she's really young. But you've got to agree she's a future hottie (and yes, I'm just saying future to be decent).

If you're not a Renee Olstead fan yet, 1) just look at her. Find more pictures or watch still standing if you want to, and 2) find her songs! Once you hear her sing, you'd be a fan too (and wish she was a lot older).
