NBA star Greg Oden dirty pictures circulate on Twitter

For exactly a week now, dirty pictures of NBA star Gregory Wayne Oden Jr. or simply Greg Oden have been circulating on Twitter and also anywhere on the web.

Greg has at least 3 scandalous photos available online and the NBA star who plays for Portland Trail Blazers has admitted that he is indeed the shirtless black guy in the self-shot cellphone photos.

As seen in the sample picture above, Greg is shirtless with slightly-dropped shorts in one photo, then the shorts lowered down in the second photo until he becomes totally unclothed in the last photo.

Greg stands 7 feet, so expect more than 7 inches footlong in the pics.

Those who have seen the photos describe them as hot, yummy and delicious.

According to Greg, the photo was taken in 2009 as a present for his girlfriend.

He immediately apologized to everyone for the photo scandal: "First, I would like to apologize to everybody, Portland, fans, the organization. It was very embarrassing. It was something that happened over a year and a half ago. It was taken and sent over a year and a half ago. I'm very sorry and I'm definitely embarrassed for my family and everybody around me."

It's also interesting to note that the pictures circulated three days after Greg celebrated his 22nd birthday last January 22.

PBB Double Up: Who's your Big Winner?

It's now your turn to choose the Big Winner of Pinoy Big Brother Double Up.

Starting tonight, the public will now vote for the housemate who they think deserve to be called the Big Winner.

Who among Melisa, Jason, Paul Jake, Johan, Tibo and Mariel is your Big Winner? To vote: just type BBS <name of housemate> then send it to 2331 for Globe, TM, Sun and Bayan Wireless subscribers or 231 for Smart and TNT users.

Whoever gets the lowest votes by Saturday, February 6, will be the last evictee of this season while the rest will join 'Big Jump to the Big 5' winner Melisa Cantiveros in the Big 5.

The voting for the Big Winner starts tonight until the Big Night on Feb. 13 to be held at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

Meanwhile, the 6 remaining housemates were asked tonight to name two housemates who should be evicted from the house:

Melisa = Paul Jake and Tibo
Paul Jake = Mariel and Johan
Johan = Tibo and Paul Jake
Tibo = Jason and Paul Jake
Jason = Tibo and Paul Jake
Mariel = Paul Jake and Tibo

Ian Batherson bids goodbye on Starstruck V

Fil-Am model Ian Magistrado Batherson has been automatically eliminated on Starstruck V after being part of the Bottom Group for the 3rd time.

Ian also got the lowest combined scores from the Council and the voters, saving Rocco Nacino and Steven Silva, who were also in the Bottom 3, from being eliminated.

This commercial model born in Germany has a Pinay mom from Iriga City, Camarines Sur. Last September, he modeled for Cosmopolitan Magazine as
one of its 69 Bachelors.

With good looks, talent and charm to back him up, Ian, who just turned 21 last January 14, will definitely go a long way in showbiz.

As for the remaining 6 Starstruck contenders, one will be eliminated next week and the five will form part of the Final 5. Yes (just like PBB's Big 5), Starstruck will have a Final 5 Survivors during the Final Judgment on February 21, 2010 at the Araneta Coliseum. I have a strong feeling that they will have a wildcard contender because of this new development.

Four among Jason Francisco, Paul Jake Castillo, Johan Santos, Tibo Jumalon and Mariel Soriño will join Melisa in the Big 5 and it will be revealed after the season's last eviction on Saturday, February 6.

During the eviction tonight, we saw La Señora ng España Kathleen Lopeña-Ortego or Mommy Kath to her fellow housemates being evicted from the PBB house after she got the lowest percentage of votes. Mommy Kath entered the house with husband Jimson
Ortega last October, but Jimson was the first to be evicted from the house, leaving Kath inside. She stayed longer, survived two evictions and reached this far which is just two weeks away from the Big 5 until she got evicted tonight.
