Solenn Heussaff in black bikini for FHM Philippines' cover this March 2011

The long wait is over! After almost two weeks of teasing us, FHM Philippines has finally revealed its March 2011 issue with the superbly hot Solenn Heussaff.

Wearing a two-piece bikini, the word "sexy" isn't enough to describe Solenn Heussaff on her first ever FHM cover.

The said March 2011 issue of FHM Philippines is also their 11th Anniversary Bikini issue. So you should get a copy of that special issue!

I think it's gonna be a sold-out issue.

History of the Oscar Awards

Far from the eagerly anticipated and globally televised event it is today, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place out of the public eye during an Academy banquet at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Two hundred seventy people attended the May 16, 1929 dinner in the hotel’s Blossom Room; guest tickets cost $5. It was a long affair filled with speeches, but Academy President Douglas Fairbanks made quick work of handing out the statuettes.

There was little suspense when the awards were presented that night: the recipients had already been announced three months earlier. That all changed the following year, however, when the Academy decided to keep the results secret until the ceremony but gave a list in advance to newspapers for publication at 11 p.m. on the night of the Awards. This policy continued until 1940 when, much to the Academy’s consternation, the Los Angeles Times broke the embargo and published the names of the winners in its evening edition – which was readily available to guests arriving for the ceremony. That prompted the Academy in 1941 to adopt the sealed-envelope system still in use today.

Fifteen statuettes were awarded at the first ceremony for cinematic achievements in 1927 and 1928. The first Best Actor winner was acclaimed German tragedian Emil Jannings, who had to return to Europe before the ceremony. The Academy granted his request to receive the trophy early, making his statuette the very first Academy Award ever presented.

Roxanne Cabañero disqualified from Binibining Pilipinas 2011 for naked photos online

Two days after Grendel Alvarado and Jen Olivar were daisqualified,
Binibining Pilipinas 2011 candidate Roxanne Cabañero was also disqualified from the pageant over naked photos circulating online, source confirms.

Unlike the case of Grendel and Jen whose naked pics were only for a photoshoot challenge on Philippines' Next Top Model contest in 2007, alleged pictures of Roxanne Cabañero were meant for a p-rn site which features naked Filipina women.

A woman named Raina and looks like Roxanne has more than 10 photos
in the said site. She's fully unwrapped in various poses showing off all her private parts.

The pictures are believed to have been existing on the internet since 2009 and if it was really Roxanne, who's now 24 years old, she probably did it during her teenage
years.

People from different pageant forums began linking Roxanne to those
photos early February, after she was named as one of the official Top 40 candidates of Binibining Pilipinas 2011.

If you remember, Roxanne was the last to be called during the
announcement of the Top 50.

Roxanne Cabañero was disqualified only a day after the 38 candidates had their official number assignment. She was supposed to be candidate #7.

On Mykiru's Fun Poll, Roxanne is among the Top 15 favorites in the pageant.

***

If you got the chance to watch GMA's 24 Oras last January 7, there was a report headlined "Isang dalaga mula sa Cebu, look alike ni Venus
Raj" and that girl was Roxanne Cabañero.

The report said that Roxanne also dreams to be a beauty queen just like Venus and she's already preparing for Binibining Pilipinas.

A day after, January 8, she was also featured on "Wish Ko Lang!" still on GMA 7.

Roxanne is almost close to realizing her dreams but it's completely gone as she was already disqualified from the pageant.

Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. hasn't issued yet a statement regarding the disqualification of 3 candidates.

Paquito Diaz reportedly dies | But Paquito Diaz's family says he's still alive!

Paquito Diaz, 73, reportedly has died already due to complications from pneumonia.

According to a report early in the morning today from Pilipino Star Ngayon headlined "Paquito pumanaw na!", he reportedly died Saturday, February 26, at the Estevez Memorial Hospital in Legazpi City, Albay.

But a fresh online report from Bombo Radyo Legazpi entitled "Pamilya ni Paquito Diaz, nilinaw na buhay pa ang aktor" posted at around 12 noon today says that Paquito is still alive.

Bombo Radyo had an interview with Paquito's family and they said that the doctors at the hospital made a mistake. They declared the actor as dead but only to find out later he's still alive.

Boyet J Sison, host of ANC's Hard Ball, also posted on Twitter that a daughter of Paquito denied the death rumor. "I was just in communication with the daughter of Paquito Diaz, Joanna Diaz-Gallent, and she says her father has NOT passed on."

Paquito is reportedly still confined and recovering at the hospital.

Estevez Memorial Hospital was the same hospital where my father was confined and died in 2005, but there was no "false alarm". He really died for good.

Let's all continue praying for Paquito Diaz's speedy recovery.

John Estrada and Priscilla Meirelles wedding photos

Award-winning Filipino actor John Estrada married Brazilian Miss Earth 2004 titleholder Priscilla Meirelles in a beach wedding held just this afternoon, February 26, 2011, at the Thunderbird Resorts at Poro Point in San Fernando, La Union.

John, 37, and Priscilla, 27, were visibly in their happiest moment as they tied the knot in a sunset wedding in front of their family and friends, some of which are Priscilla's family and close friends who flew all the way from Brazil.

A beauty queen that she is, Priscilla was absolutely beautiful in her white wedding gown designed by Randy Ortiz.

Of course, John, who's being married for the 2nd time, was certainly in his most handsome form and his aura says like it's really his dream
wedding with his dream girl. This is it!

Check out fresh photos from the wedding of John Estrada and Priscilla Meirelles:

Richard Gomez stood as John's Best Man replacing Willie Revillame while John's 13-year-old son Yuan was the Junior Best Man and his three daughters, Inah, Moira and Kaila, were among the bridesmaids.

Among the principal sponsors were Bench owner Ben Chan, ABS-CBN exec Cory Vidanes and cosmetic surgeon Dra. Vicki Belo.

Also part of the wedding entourage were showbiz personalities like Gabby Concepcion, Lorna Tolentino, Ai-Ai delas Alas, Ogie Alcasid, Randy Santiago, Anjo Yllana, Lucy Torres-Gomez, Ginger Conejero and Sandra Seifert.

Truly a star-studded event, attendees included Mother Lily Monteverde, Hayden Kho, Sam Milby, Vina Morales and Kris Aquino.

Sharon Cuneta, who's supposed to be a veil sponsor, wasn't spotted at the event for an obvious reason (Vicki and Hayden were there).

John Estrada and Priscilla Meirelles met each other in 2004 while Priscilla was crowned Miss Earth. But it's only in 2007 when they started dating.
