Rafael Nadal advances to French Open 2010 Quarterfinals

Most tennis fans in the world are celebrating with hottie Spanish
tennis player Rafael Nadal after he qualified yesterday for the French
Open 2010 (Roland Garros) Quarterfinals.

3 days before his 24th birthday, Rafael won over Brazilian Thomaz
Belluci in the 4th Round of Men's Singles (Day 9) of French Open 2010
currently being held in Paris, France.

He now advances to the quarterfinals which starts today, June 1, and
he will face Nicolas Almagro, also from Spain. If Nadal wins, he'll
play in the semis on June 4.

Fans have been following Nadal in French Open 2010 hoping it will give
him his 5th title in the said tournament. He won French Open 2008 but
not last year, when he lost to Swedish Robin Soderling, who's now
facing Swiss Roger Federer in the quarterfinals.

4 for Women's Singles. Here's a rundown of the quarter face-offs:

Lady Gaga "Alejandro" music video release on June 8

Lady Gaga's official music video for her single "Alejandro" was
announced to be released Monday, May 31, 2010.

And now fans ask, "Where is the music video? It's already May 31!"

But too bad that they have to wait for another week as news broke out
a few hours ago via @gagadaily on Twitter that the Alejandro music
video will be finally released on June 7th 8th at Lady Gaga's official website. Why a sudden change of release date?

It's unknown, but June 8 is also that day when Christina Aguilera's "Bionic"
album is out in the market.

Fans clamoring for Alejandro video began when Lady Gaga performed it
during the May 6 results show of American Idol Season 9.

Even if the music video isn't out yet, "Alejandro" is currently
charting very well on Billboard charts. From #40 last week, it's now
#16 on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play countdown and ranks 8th in
Billboard Hot 100 chart.

With this, it's highly possible that it will rank 1st as soon as the
music video comes out.

"Alejandro" is Lady Gaga's 3rd single from her "The Fame Monster"
album after Bad Romance and Telephone.

Justin Bieber "Never Say Never" music video features Jaden Smith

Justin Bieber's latest hit "Never Say Never" has a new music video featuring Jaden Smith, the adorable 11-year-old kid of Will Smith.

In the said music video, Bieber does most of the singing of course with a little help from Jaden, who really can sing. Their collaboration is quite cool and fun to watch.

And you'll also notice in the video that Justin's voice has changed. It sounds a bit more masculine now as compared to his previous songs, which he recorded way back when his voice hasn't developed yet into a manly voice.

Watch Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith singing together:

Justin's "Never Say Never" will be part of the soundtrack of Jaden's June 11 film "Karate Kid" which also stars Jackie Chan and Taraji P. Henson.

On Philippines' MYX Hit Chart, "Never Say Never" is currently at #3.

Gimik 2010 boys, shirtless in Subic

Gimik 2010 fanatics would be very delighted to see the young male stars shirtless on the show.

And well, we just have to wait for a little time as they're be coming out really shirtless.

As seen in these pictures, they taped an episode recently at the White Rock Subic Bay Resort and four of them went shirtless: Jaco Benin, Kenji Shirakawa, Kazuo Nawa and Albie Casiño. Too bad Lance Christopher didn't show off his bod.

We have to watch out for that episode of Gimik 2010 on ABS-CBN.

The guy in white shirt is their director Francis Xavier Pasion.

Jake Cuenca, Men's Health, June 2010 cover (plus behind-the-scene photos)

"Rubi" and "Elias Paniki" star Jake Cuenca sizzles as cover guy of Men's Health Philippines for June 2010 issue.

This marks Jake's 2nd time for Men's Health Philippines. He was on its May 2008 issue, the time he was doing "Palos".

Jake Cuenca was shirtless during his first cover, but not anymore on the second cover. Why why why? Maybe for a change...

Max Eigenmann, FHM Philippines, June 2010

'Di ko kinaya!

That's what I said upon seeing Max Eigenmann's cover for FHM Philippines this June 2010.

It's super daring! Wow! For sure, Gerald Anderson, Max's co-star in "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo", would love it. But did she ask the blessings of Daddy Mark Girl and brother Sid Lucero for this?

On the cover, Max wears nothing but pants with her hand covering up her upper part. Then in another FHM picture, just a man's hand is covering hers as she lies down on the floor.

Kapamilya stars dominate Bench PFW Holiday 2010 showcase

Aside from the PBB ex-housemates and the stars of Rubi, other Kapamilya celebrities who graced the Bench/Human/Kashieca fashion show yesterday were Bea Alonzo, Coco Martin, Zaijian "Santino" Jaranilla and Enrique Gil of the Gigger Boys.

Thus, it's safe to say that the Kapamilya stars were the ones who attracted the most crowd there.

Coco Martin was the big finale for the Bench showcase while Bea for Kashieca.

Whereas Stastruck 5's Sarah Lahbati, Diva Montelaba, Enzo Pineda, Steven Silva and Rocco Nacino and "Are You The Next Big Star" winners Geoff Taylor and Frencheska Mae Farr were the only Kapuso models in the event.

Spotted watching at the audience were other Bench endorsers like Richard Gomez and Enchong Dee.

Super Junior's "Bonamana" enters MYX Hit Chart

Korean pop group Super Junior continues to win the votes of MYX viewers with one single to another. Their latest single "Bonamana" becomes another Super Junior hit in the Philippines as it makes a splash debut on MYX Hit Chart this week.

For its first week in the countdown of both OPB and international singles, "Bonamana" debuts at #8, which is quite high and not surprising if it will land on the top spot on the coming weeks.

But that's if Charice and Bieber fans would allow it. The two teen sensations have been dominating the MYX Hit Chart for many weeks now.

Charice's "Pyramid" is now on its 4th week as #1 song while "Eenie Meenie", a Justin Bieber's collaboration with Sean Kingston, comes behind at #2, which is up 3 notches from last week. In 3rd slot is another Bieber song entitled "Never Let You Go", which made a big jump from #12 last week.

Previous week's #2 was also a Bieber song. "Baby", which was #1 in the countdown for 7 week, dropped to #2 4 weeks ago to give way for "Pyramid". It's now going down and currently on #10 on its 14th week. That's because Bieber fans are now voting for "Eenie Meenie" or "Never Let You Go" and hoping either of the two will also end up on the first spot.

Aside from "Bonamana", other new entries are Can't Be Tamed (by Miley Cyrus), Gabay (Callalily), 'Di Lang Ikaw (Juris) and Your Love Is My Drug (KeSha).

Here's the latest MYX Hit Chart (May 30 to June 2, 1010):

1 Charice feat. Iyaz - Pyramid
2 Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber - Eenie Meenie
3 Justin Bieber - Never Let You Go
4 Girls' Generation - Run Devil Run
5 U-Kiss - Bingeul Bingeul
6 Taylor Swift - Fearless
7 Christian Bautista and Sarah Geronimo - Please Be Careful with My Heart
8 Super Junior - Bonamana
9 SS501 - Love Like This
10 Justin Bieber feat. Ludacris - Baby
11 Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed
12 Tanya Markova - Picture Picture
13 Slapshock - Like Eskimo
14 Callalily - Gabay
15 Juris - 'Di Lang Ikaw
16 Iyaz - Solo
17 Christina Aguilera - Not Myself Tonight
18 KeSha - Your Love Is My Drug
19 B.o.B feat. Bruno Mars - Nothin' on You
20 Usher feat. will.i.am - OMG

Melason in their first ever Bench fashion show

As expected, the Melason loveteam was the highly-applauded models (along with Coco Martin) during the showcase of Bench in the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2010, held last night, May 30, 2010, at SM Mall of Asia Atrium.

Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco were so much fun to watch as they walked the runway for the very first time.

Also there were PBB Double Up ex-housemate Sam Pinto and other Big 5 winners such as Paul Jake Castillo, Johan Santos and Steve "Tibo" Jumalon.

The next time you will see them in a show like this will be on July 2 at the Araneta Coliseum for the Bench Denim & Underwear Fashion Show.

Nominees for eviction: Bret Jackson, Tricia Santos, Devon Seron & Jenny Kim

For the first time, American teenternational housemate Bret Jackson is
this week's nominee for eviction from the PBB house.

Bret got 1 point each from Ann Li, Jenny Kim and Ivan Dorschner. Jenny
nominated Bret because he gets irritated easily.

Three other housemates join Bret in the list of nominees and they are:
Jenny, Devon Seron and for the 6th time, Tricia Santos. It's both a
2nd time for Jenny and Devon.

Tricia got a high total of 14 points collected from 7 housemates
including James Reid who described her as "annoying". Tricia also
nominated James for being "sobrang tamad". James and Tricia once liked
each other, but not anymore lately.

And now that there are only 10 housemates left in the house, Big
Brother has revived the "vote to evict" and "vote to save" options in
the voting process, which poses a big danger to the most hated
housemate of the season.

Here's how they voted against each other:

Fretzie - 1 pt for James, 2 pts for Jenny
Bret - 1 Ann, 2 Tricia
Devon - 1 Ann, 2 Jenny
Ann - 1 Bret, 2 Tricia
Angelo - 1 Ryan, 2 Tricia
Jenny - 1 Bret, 2 Tricia
Ryan - 1 Angelo, 2 Tricia
James - 1 Fretzie, 2 Tricia
Tricia - 1 James, 2 Devon
Ivan - 1 Bret, 2 Tricia

TALLY:
Pinoy (Tricia 14 pts, Devon 2 pts, Fretzie 1 pt, Angelo 1 pt, Ivan 0)
Teenternational (Jenny 4 pts, Bret 3 pts, James 2 pts, Ann 2 pts, Ryan 1 pt)

Only 1 of the 4 nominated housemates will be evicted on Saturday.

Luntayao Family and Jeline Oliva move through the PGT Grand Finals

Luntayao Family, a group of singers from Negros Occidental, and Maria
Jeline Oliva, a 13-year-old violinist fro, have been chosen to advance
for the grandfinals of Pilipinas Got Talent, which happens on June 12
& 13 at the Araneta Coliseum.

On tonight's results show, the Luntayao Family was chosen by texters
and online voters while Jeline Oliva was picked unanimously by the
judges over the Powerpuff Corn.

As what I have said last night, it was a tough batch to predict who
will top the votes. What I ranked the least in my predictions last
night turned out to be the ones who garnered the highest votes.

My ranking predictions: 1. Powerpuff Corn 2. Harold Jomar Gesulga 3.
Jzan Vern Tero 4. Experience Kidz 5. Luntayao Family 6. Maria Jeline
Oliva

But the actual results were:
1. Luntayao Family 28.19%
2. Maria Jeline Oliva 20.62%
3. Powerpuff Corn of Baguio City 18.71%
4. Harold Jomar Gesulga of General Santos City 14.56%
5. Experience Kidz of General Santos City 12.29%
6. Jzan Vern Tero of Cebu City 5.64%

One more week to go before the grand finals and two more slots have to
be filled. The last batch of semifinalists will perform on Saturday
and they are Baguio Metamorphosis, Imusicapella Chamber Choir, Carl
Malone Montecido, Josephine Aton and Hello World.

Robin Padilla models for Jag Jeans at the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2010

Robin "Idol" Padilla almost caused a stampede at the recent Jag event held Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia Main Atrium,
as part of the still ongoing Philippine Fashion Week (PFW) Holiday
2010.
The said event was called Jag Dstrukt: Denim Wars and they launched
Robin as their newest major endorser along with his daughter Kylie and son Ali.

Fans who eagerly waited for Robin to come out on stage were so much
delighted to see him walk the runway in his very hot self.

They went wild to see Robin with unbuttoned polo shirt exposing his very sexy body. Robin's got great abs!

Gays, guys and girls were all in awe to see Robin on the runway, as seen in the pictures.

It wasn't Robin's first time to grace a fashion show. He already modeled on the runway for Lee Jeans (Jag's sister company) in November, 2009.

Thanks to Joanne Laguna for the pictures!

Rayver Cruz at the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2010

Rayver Cruz wore a creation from Bang Pineda last Thursday, the 2nd
day of Philippine Fashion Week (PFW) Holiday 2010.

Bang Pineda's theme this year was "Damaged: The Life and Style of an
Assassin" and Rayver was his main celebrity model.

Also presented Pineda's designs the same evening were the Brapanese
Trio: Akihiro Sato, Fabio Ide and Daniel Kenji Matsunaga.

It's good to see Daniel back in action again. (Remember the photo
scandal?) And I'm lovin' his new look.

Other models for the event were Lemuel Pelayo, Kerbie Zamora, Don
Mendoza, Carlo Adorador, Mikael Daez, Luke Jickain, Alvin De Joya and
more.

Sam Milby - Marie Digby nightout at Bora's Hey Jude Bar

[A MYKIRU EXCLUSIVE]

This is already the Part 2 of my post about rockoustic heartthrob Sam
Milby and American acoustic singer Marie Digby who were spotted in
Boracay the other week.

I have mentioned in my previous post that someone from Boracay has
shared to me that they were seen chilling out at Bora's hot spot Hey
Jude Bar.

Hoping that I will get more juicy details to establish a story of
possible romance between them, I asked him first if they're sweet with
each other. But my source, who is a "regular" in Boracay, was quick to
say that they're not.

Oh, do we have to be happy for that?

According to my source, the two came at the bar when it was about to
close and they ordered a drink (but he's not sure what drink). And
whenever someone could recognize Sam and would ask a picture with
them, the girl would distance herself.

"Everytime someone wanted a photo with him, she moved far out the way.
Even when the other people wanted her in it, she ran off to hide from
the camera," he said.

So, there must be really something between them. If they're just
friends, why didn't she like to be photographed with Sam?

He insisted that they really looked like good friends. But he added,
"I think it's a cover..."

Cover for what?

Oh that's it for now. He did answer that but I'm choosing not to reveal it.

And whatever it is, let's just be happy for Sam if he already found a
new Anne Curtis in his life, just like Anne who's exclusively dating
Erwan Heusaff.

Xian Lim, Garage Magazine, June / July 2010

Xian Lim is a Louis Vitton hottie on Garage Magazine's June to July 2010 issue.

And who's the other guy? He may not be as popular as Xian, but he
should be named at least. (He's Georges Alves, a Brazilian model. We named him inside. ~ Rey Ilagan, Garage EIC)

They're both wearing yellow, which probably their way of embracing the
new Philippine President. Kris Aquino should grab a copy of this.

Next month's issue is actually Garage Magazine's Back-to-School edition. (Now I miss my school days!)

It's Xian's 2nd time on a magazine cover. The first was with Enchong
Dee and Ejay Falcon on Chalk Mag's Dec09 issue. On TV, he's currently
seen on "Rubi" and "Agimat Presents: Elias Paniki".
