I was supposed to check on some adult acne treatments online but Gary V’s Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo version got me. So, it is Gary V. who performed the soundtrack for this soap Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo. Hmmmmm…. another heartbreaking drama series to look forward to after Kim Chu and Gerald Anderson’s successful Tayong Dalawa.

If I am not mistaken, its showing date on TV will be next Monday, January 18 in replacement of Dahil May Isang Ikaw. I’d sure be watching this every night.

I wonder if Jericho Rosales has applied some face cream for this photo shoot or was it photoshopped? Whatever! All I know is he was good and carried himself enough for this pose. If I am not mistaken, this was one of the photos used for his Pusong Ligaw album. Been meaning to grab a copy of this album but never got the chance. I always forget.

Okay, I have a little confession to make, I’ve always loved liked Jericho Rosales but that changed big time the moment Derek Ramsay came in the picture haha! In my dreams LOL!

MANILA, Philippines – Controversial actress Rosanna Roces was saddened that her remarks on “Showtime” resulted in the 20-day preventive suspension of the ABS-CBN talent show.

The actress pointed out that the Kapamilya network took it upon itself to immediately address the issue even before the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) could call its attention.

Roces has been axed as one of “Showtime’s” judges after taking potshots at school teachers during the program’s January 7 episode.

Roces, however, maintained that she is not criticizing all teachers. She also argued that she has the liberty “to say whatever I want to say.”

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa ABS-CBN dahil binigyan nila ako ng pagkakataong humingi ng paumanhin sa aking naging pahayag sa ‘Showtime.’ Naramdaman kong nakahanap ako ng tunay na kapamilya sa ABS-CBN dahil hindi nila ako iniwan sa ere. Kung sa ibang network, gaya ng naranasan ko noon, ay iniwan ako at pinabayaang magpaliwanag ng mag-isa,” she said.

TORONTO (Reuters) – WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will put his title on the line against Ghanaian Joshua Clottey in March after talks for a bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. fizzled out this week, the Filipino’s promoter said on Friday.

The planned fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr. broke down when negotiations between the two sides hit a snag over the American’s demand for a rigorous dope testing procedure.

Pacquiao’s new opponent beat Zab Judah of the United States for the IBF Welterweight title in August 2008 and lost a split decision to Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto last June.

“This is a better fight,” Bob Arum of Top Rank, Pacquiao’s promoter, told Reuters in a telephone interview. “(Clottey’s) a real strong, aggressive and hard punching African from Ghana and he poses a real test for Manny.”
