MISS UNIVERSE 2010 MOST BEAUTIFUL CANDIDATES


 

Two days after doing the country proud in this year's Miss Universe pageant, Philippine bet Venus Raj returned home to a warm welcome before dawn Thursday.

Raj arrived at 3:58 a.m. aboard a Philippine Airlines PR-107 flight from Las Vegas with relatives and supporters waiting for her, radio dwIZ reported.

A separate report by dzBB's Denver Trinidad said media and supporters mobbed Raj as she tried to make her way out of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2.

In an interview with media at the NAIA, Raj said she hoped her showing at the beauty pageant would make Filipinos proud again, especially in the wake of Monday's hostage crisis in Manila.

She said she was saddened to learn of Monday's hostage crisis in Manila that killed at least eight Hong Kong tourists.

Hostage-taker dismissed Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza was also killed in the incident.

Also, Raj said she planned to go to Heritage Park in Taguig City to the wake of fellow beauty queen Melody Gersbach, who died in a traffic accident in Bicol last Saturday.

Meanwhile, Raj said she had no regrets refusing to go topless in the pageant's pictorial.

"Alam kong tayong mga Pilipino medyo conservative, di niya tayo inalok na maging topless or what. Ako personal choice ko yan. So alam ko mas magiging masaya ang Pilipino na di ko ginawa yan (I know we Filipinos are conservative. Besides, I was not given an offer to go topless. It was my personal choice not to, because I know that decision will make my fellow Filipinos happy)," she said. — LBG, GMANews.TV

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Gov. Barbarian Vows To Veto California Marriage Bill
 Arnold Schwarzenegger said this afternoon that he will veto the same-sex marriage bill passed by the California Legislature last night by a vote of 41-35. His press secretary, Margita Thompson, issued the following statement at just before 5:30 p.m.:
"In Governor Schwarzenegger's personal life and work in public service, he has considered no undertaking to be more noble than the cause of civil rights. He believes that gay couples are entitled to full protection underthe law and should not be discriminated against based upon their relationship. He is proud that California provides the most rigorous protections in the nation for domestic partners. Five years ago the matter of same-sex marriage was placed before the people of California. The people voted and the issue is now before the courts. The Governor believes the matter should be determined not by legislative action -- which would be unconstitutional -- but by court decision or another vote of the people of our state. We cannot have a system where the people vote and the Legislature derails that vote. Out of respect for the will of the people, the Governor will veto AB 849."
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's actions are shameful and a permanent stain on his legacy. He could have stood for equality, but instead he sided with bigotry. He is a disgrace to his office and is clearly on the wrong side of history. Please take a minute and call the Governor's office to tell him what you think of his awful actions. He needs to hear from you, and calling 916-445-2841 or e-mailing him at, governor@governor.ca.gov is safer than expressing your displeasure to his face, becasue he can probably beat you up.

Arnold’s Terminator sequel: “Girly-Man III”

After another crushing ballot defeat, Arnold wouldn't even place at the Fitness America pageant





































 LOS ANGELES — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to permanently fix California’s “broken budget system.” But three times now he has tried and failed to smooth out the state’s roller coaster revenues.

Voters on Tuesday resoundingly rejected his latest effort, a package of budget-balancing measures that he promised would provide a short-term patch for the current financial crisis and prevent further catastrophe in the future.

Instead, he now faces a $21.3 billion budget deficit and a budget system that has not changed a bit since he took office nearly six years ago.

“I think he’s discovered that this job is a lot harder than he anticipated in a state of economic downturn,” Treasurer Bill Lockyer said Tuesday of the governor who came into office in 2003 promising to “end the crazy deficit spending.”

The Republican governor faces another tough round of budget negotiations after months spent haggling with lawmakers to close the state’s first budget shortfall, which was initially $42 billion through June 2010.

Well it was a perfect political storm that turned Arnold into the Governator. And now with an economic tsunami threatening to blow California off the map, the only viable step remaining in Arnold’s political career might just be ambassador to Austria. Assuming they’ll take him.–BEREZ

Celebrity surgeon Frank Ryan killed in car crash

LOS ANGELES – Celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan, who made headlines for performing multiple surgeries on reality TV star Heidi Montag, has died. He was 50 years old.

The California Highway Patrol says Ryan's 1995 Jeep Wrangler went off the side of Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu and landed on its roof Monday afternoon.

Besides Montag, Ryan's celebrity clientele included musician Vince Neil, actor Lorenzo Lamas, reality stars Lisa Gastineau and Adrianne Curry and several models and beauty queens.

Montag, who underwent 10 procedures in one day with Ryan late last year, took to Twitter to share her reaction to his death.

"I am devastated," the 23-year-old wrote on the micro-blogging site Tuesday. "He was the most amazing person I have ever known. He was an angel and changed my life and the lives of everyone he met. He was the most brilliant talented surgeon who will ever exist. Dr. Frank Ryan changed the world."

The Ventura County medical examiner's office said an autopsy would be performed Tuesday. He said no cause of death has been established.

Ryan's friend and client, model and reality star Janice Dickinson, was "deeply, deeply anguished" after hearing of the doctor's death, her publicist said.

"She is stunned and wants the world to know what a genius Dr. Ryan was," publicist Brad Taylor said Tuesday. "Her love goes out to his mother and the rest of the family."

Curry said in a statement Tuesday that she and Ryan shared "in-depth conversations about him wanting to start a family of his own, now that he had a very successful career."

Ryan operated on her twice, she said, adding, "I considered him a friend."

Ryan was a close friend of boxer Oscar De La Hoya, and attended all his fights from 2002 until De La Hoya's retirement last year.

"After any fight in which I was cut or suffered an injury, Dr. Ryan was always there for me from the time I left the ring until I was fully healed, even going so far as to accompany me to the hospital following a fight if necessary," De La Hoya said in a statement.

As a promoter, De La Hoya requested that Ryan be ringside whenever possible so boxers fighting as part of Golden Boy events were under his immediate care should they get injured.

"He was an outstanding physician, a wonderful and charitable person as well as a good friend," the boxer said.

According to his website, Ryan graduated from the University of Michigan in 1982 and from the Ohio State University College of Medicine four years later.

Ryan opened his private practice in 1994, the same year he established his namesake charitable foundation that provides free removal of gang-related tattoos and hosts day and overnight camps for children at Malibu's Bony Pony Ranch.

Ryan is survived by his mother, Mary Kate Ryan, and by many cousins, aunts and uncles, according to estate representative Melanie Sims Frank.

His family is grieving and asks for privacy, she said, adding that a candlelight vigil will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Malibu's Zuma Beach. — AP http://www.gmanews.tv/story/198775/celebrity-surgeon-frank-ryan-killed-in-car-crash

Kim Chiu claims that Sarah Geronimo is more popular than her

Despite the recent rumors about Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson’s supposed break-up, the Kimerald fans are not only as solid as ever but they also remain hopeful that ABS-CBN would give the two another huge project in the coming months. Kim is no longer surprised with this news since she gets to talk to them almost all the time. “Ever since naman sobrang supporive ang Kimerald. Kahit saan, kahit anong mangyari, pinagtatanggol nila kami, pinaglalaban nila kami so sobrang lucky kami ni Gerald to have them. Actually, pumupunta sila sa taping ko ng Your Song with Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas and nandun sila lagi ‘pag may ASAP, E-Live, and The Buzz guesting ako,” she revealed in a recent interview.

Kim also took the chance to clarify the rumors that there’s a growing rivalry between Kimerald and Sarah Geronimo’s fan groups as they’re allegedly trying to prove whose idol is more popular. Although she’s considered by many as the hottest teleserye princess to date, Kim stressed that Sarah’s box office movies and record-breaking concerts are certainly difficult to beat. “Bakit naman po (may ganong issue)? Siyempre si Sarah ang mas sikat no, hello,” she exclaimed with a laugh.

You would recall that some of the Kimerald fans expressed their disapproval when reports about a possible team-up between Sarah and Gerald came up last year. When asked about her reaction whenever her supporters try to quarrel with her fellow artist, Kim simply replied, “Nag-so-sorry kami (dun sa artista na concerned) dahil hindi naman namin kontrolado yung reaction ng ibang fans pero hindi naman lahat ganon. Siguro isa lang sa mga fans na yun.Pero hindi naman lahat nang-aaway. Unfair naman yun para dun sa mga nanahimik lang.”

So it is safe to say that all is good between her and Sarah? “Yeah, sobrang ok kami. Nagkikita kami sa ASAP and wala namang problema. Yung ibang tao lang ang gumagawa ng mga kwento kwento,” she finally stated.

Kris on James: We stopped loving each other a long time ago

MANILA, Philippines – Actress-television host Kris Aquino has ruled out any possibility of reconciliation between her and husband cager James Yap.

In her tell-all interview with “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda, which was aired Sunday, Aquino was bent on ending her 5-year marriage to Yap. She said she has yet to talk to her lawyers about the legal proceedings.
“Ang pinakamahalaga is alam niya at alam ko why this marriage ended. Alam din niya kung saan siya nagkulang kasi may mga tinext siya sa akin while I was abroad saying na he realizes where he went wrong. But I said it's really too late,” she said.

Aquino flew to the United States for a 3-week vacation with her 2 sons, Josh and Baby James. Josh is Aquino’s son from a previous relationship.


Aquino also disclosed that both she and Yap were already “miserable,” and that they “stopped loving each other a long time ago.”

She also said she was already tired of “pretending that everything was okay.”

“I acknowledged in my heart naubos talaga yong love, April 26 of this year. May nasabi siya sa anak ko, which I will forever keep between the 2 of us. May nasabi siya, sa galit namin sa isa't isa siguro, noong panahon na yon na nasaktan talaga ako. At nagpatunay talaga sa akin na this is not the man for me, this is not the man I want to stay with because dinadamay na niya ang 3 years old na bata na dapat protektahan nating dalawa,” she said.

Aquino also admitted Yap’s rumored illicit affair. She said she had been faithful during their marriage, but she did not think Yap can say the same thing. She also confessed that they had not fully resolved an issue involving Hope Centeno. In 2007, they went through a rough patch after Yap was rumored to have had a romantic affair with Centeno, one of the receptionists at the Belo Medical Clinic.

When asked to comment on rumors that Yap got a girl pregnant, meantime, Aquino said she would be the last person to know if these were true.

“My Ate (Ballsy) mentioned na napapabalitaan he's dating somebody already and then I think my Ate was testing the waters with me. And I said, 'Good.' Yon talaga. Yon ang opinion ko kasi we don't live under one roof anymore so it's his right. And it will make much easier for the entire country to move on,” she said.

She also maintained that she no longer harbors any ill feeling toward him because of their son, 3-year-old Baby James. “Bali-baliktarin natin, balikan natin, kung isusuma tutal natin lahat ng iniyak ko, lahat ng iniyak niya, lahat ng pinag-awayan namin, ang suma tutal niyan is nagkaroon kami ng Bimbi (Baby James). At burado na lahat ng sama ng loob dahil kay Bimbi.”

Aquino said she had her closure before she went to the United States. She said she and Yap talked for 2 hours before she flew to the US. She, however, declined to divulge the details of their conversation.

She also said her 3 sisters and brother, President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, support her decision.

In June, Aquino announced that she was giving up on her 5-year marriage to Yap. Aquino said it was not a “spur of the moment” decision.

Aquino, who already moved out of their home, refused to reveal the reason behind their separation. She said she was keeping quiet for the sake of Baby James, their 3-year-old son.

On June 16, Aquino first admitted in public through her Twitter page that she and Yap, B-Meg Derby Ace’s (formerly Purefoods) star player, had a “big misunderstanding.”

Stress and long hours spent during her brother's election campaign period took a toll on their relationship, said Aquino, the lead star of ABS-CBN primetime soap opera “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo."

Aquino, who is 11 years older than Yap, married the professional basketball player on July 10, 2005.

Kris on James: We've stopped loving each other long time ago

TV host-actress Kris Aquino on Sunday said she and former husband, cager James Yap, had stopped loving each other “a long time ago."
In an interview with ABS-CBN’s entertainment program The Buzz, the youngest sister of President Benigno “Noynoy" Aquino III even mentioned the exact date—April 26— when she decided that she would end their five-year marriage.

Without elaborating, she told host Boy Abunda that it was something James said to their son that convinced her to end their relationship.

“I acknowledged in my heart naubos talaga yung love, April 26 of this year. May nasabi siya sa anak ko, which I will forever keep between the two of us. May nasabi siya, sa galit namin sa isa't isa siguro, noong panahon na yon na nasaktan talaga ako," she said.

Kris said the incident showed her that "this is not the man for me, this is not the man I want to stay with because dinadamay na niya ang three years old na bata na dapat protektahan naming dalawa."

She said she did not end the marriage then as it would affect the campaign for president of her brother.

During the interview, Kris urged James not to drag her mother, former President Corazon Aquino, who died of colon cancer exactly a year ago, into the issue. She was reacting to James’ statement that he would fight for their marriage because it was his promise to his mother-in-law.

Kris said she had been faithful to James, who had been linked to several women in the past, throughout their marriage.

“I can honestly say na in the five years na nagsama kami, hindi ako nagloko (I can honestly say that in the five years that we were together, I never cheated). I don't think he can say the same," she said.

She said they had never been able to resolve James’ alleged affairs with other women. She said they just pretended that things were normal to save themselves from embarrassment.

“Before, I used to question, bakit kinailangan mong mambabae (why did you have to have another woman)? Ngayon, nare-realize ko na minsan, gusto mong maramdaman na ikaw ang hari (Now I realize that at times, he wants to feel that he’s the king)," Kris said.

Kris said she first sought the advice of her sisters before agreeing to the interview.
She however said that although her siblings, including President Aquino, have always understood her, they were apprehensive of how her image as an actress and a product endorser would be affected by her marital problems.

“Kung hindi magustuhan ng mga tao ang desisyon ko at hindi na ako panoorin, hindi na tangkilikin yung mga produktong ineendorso ko (If people wouldn’t like my decision and stop watching my shows or buying the products I endorse), what happens to us?" she said. - KBK, GMANews.TV
