The D Spot

Every mother is proud of her child, no matter how the rest of the world looks at him. In our eyes, our child is the smartest, most beautiful, most talented and simply God’s gift to the world, because that is certainly how we see him or her. Little wonder that we parents tend to show [...]

Much has been written and said about the apparent child abuse and/or exploitation that occurred in TV5’s show Willing Willie. The animosity is mainly directed towards its host Willie Revillame. Many people are turned off by Mr. Revillame’s antics. He has divided the country once again. Mr. Revillame has a knack for polarizing the citizens [...]

If you want to LAUGH (HA HA HA) and not just to laugh (ha ha ha), then Star Cinema’s MMFF entry “Ang Tanging Ina Mo, Last Na ‘To!” is the movie to watch. This is the third, and they say last, of the Ang Tanging Ina series. It has the elements of fun and laughter, [...]

How would you react when out of the blues you find yourself face-to-face with the man who hurt you so much? The man who dropped you like a hot potato, just like that, abandoning you in the midst of a beautiful love affair, so passionate, so beautiful you thought there was no end to it. [...]

Last Monday, November 8, Valenzuela City councilor and Presidential ex-girlfriend Shalani Soledad made her TV co-hosting debut on Willing Willie. The country waited in baited breath to see what Willie’s new co-host was like, giving the show the highest rating in it’s two week run. So, what’s the verdict? Shalani is a jarring contrast to [...]

Mawiwili ba ang Taong Bayan? After months of waiting, court orders and much hoopla and controversy, underdog TV host Willie Revillame is once again back on television with his new show Willing Willie. Shown on TV 5, it departs from the noontime slot and is making its own headway at the 6:30 pm time slot [...]

In the recent months, the entertainment world has been rocked by the suspension of Willie Revillame from his ABS-CBN ratings juggernaut Wowowee. The show has already been replaced by the Kris Aquino headliner Pilipinas Win na Win. The new show isn’t getting the same warm welcome that its predecessor got, probably because it doesn’t have [...]

The 2010 Oscars (82nd Annual Academy Awards) was a night of many firsts, including that of the major awards. Kathryn Bigelow won her first Oscar for Best Director (her 1st nomination, too). It was also the first time in the history of the Oscars for a woman to win as Best Director. So apt, as [...]

Oh wow! I promised myself to make a review of the Star Cinema movie, Miss You Like Crazy, starring John Lloyd Cruz (as Alan Alvarez) and Bea Alonzo (as Mia Samonte) and directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina. I watched the movie on its second day at Trinoma. The movie house was full. But this time, my [...]

For almost an hour Arnel Pineda entertained the crowd in Eastwood Mall with his popular and well-loved songs. I was mesmerized such that despite the comfortable place where we were seated in The Old Vine, I still wanted to see him up close. Luck was on my side, as the guard allowed me entry and [...]

Wowowee–this is all your fault–I unashamedly cried, tears profusely flowing down my beautiful face. A contestant, a boy of about 10 years old was accompanied by his father. As it has always been in the program, the pattern was for Willie, who nowadays has always been in orange, interviewed the father. His son, by the [...]

Twas a night to break away from work, with only Chato keeping me company while she was FB-ing. The 2 boys (Vince and BA have been away for a few days), Pau was in pep training, Mox went to a party, and Alan Jr was having fun watching TV (and it’s exam week, mind you). [...]

MJ’s memorial service must have been the most widely covered memorial service in our time. Thanks to technology! I wonder how it would have been with Gandhi had he died in this generation. Oh yes, there’s Lady Di’s–a big one, too. I can forget everything in MJ’s memorial–seemingly the most beautiful unrehearsed concert ever where [...]

It now sinks in—for a while I have forgotten Michael Jackson, especially after all the scandals and the eccentricities that have beset his career and persona. But deep in my heart, I have longed for his comeback and for him to rise above all the hullabaloo. It was amazing how he got out of his [...]

The lyrics of the song “Note to God” are simply beautiful…written by Grammy winner, Dianne Warren, and produced by David Foster. Finally, an original which Charice can call her own. It was launched in Oprah’s show last 18 May. Again, Charice has made every Filipino and Filipina proud. If I wrote a note to God [...]

When 47-year Susan Boyle said that she wanted to be like Elaine Page, everyone was cynical, some even were laughing at her. So different was Susan from the other contestants at Britain’s Got Talent–she was not young, she didn’t have the looks of a “star”, she was plain, and never even been kissed at all [...]
