Bride's Prank Calls Off a Wedding in China



Playing a prank is a fun and enjoyable way to some people. But playing a prank on your wedding day might not be a great idea at all.

In Shenzhen City, China, a groom calls off his own wedding when his supposedly 26 year old bride appeared at the wedding venue all dressed up in her wedding gown but with the face of a 50-year old woman.  The bride, Qing Kao has thought of making a prank to test if her groom, Guo Chien will still accept her even if her youthful looks fades into her old version. The supposedly happy event turned into a disaster when the groom decided to quit the wedding vow. Seeing his bride to be in her wedding gown but with the face of an old woman have turned his excitement to sour and anger as the bride tried so hard to tell her groom that her looks was all part of a joke to test his love for her despite her looks. The groom was not pleased but instead out of rage calls off the wedding for good. The bride was left on the venue all sorry for the prank and what she did resulting a broken wedding vow.  Watch how the event happened in the following video clip:

Steven Sebring Study of Pose: 1,000 Poses by Coco Rocha

[Coco Rocha photo by Steven Sebring]

1,000 poses for a 360 degrees supermodel  

Canadian Supermodel Coco Rocha shows all what the human form was all as she pose in collaboration with New York ace fashion photographer Steven Sebring in his new book entitled: Study of Pose: 1000 Poses by Coco Rocha. The book which is Sebring’s version of four dimensional perspective photography will allow readers and viewers of his photographic wizardry in witnessing the art of multi-dimensional photography in 360 degrees capture.  
Choosing Coco Rocha was equally brilliant since the Toronto born Supermodel has already made a niche of her own in the world of poses and fashion. As an international fashion icon she had already been featured on several internationally acclaimed fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Flare, Harper’s Bazaar and Time & Style to name a few.  She already did fashion ad campaigns for renowned fashion brands like Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Chanel, DeBeers, Dior, D&G, Versace, YSL and Zac Posen.

On her part, Coco was even candid in saying she really has no idea if she had really posed 1,000 poses in her repertoire. Her work with Sebring was all a delight and hope that the art will thrive as a new concept in fashion photography.

Capturing the Human Form in 360 degrees

According to Sebring, through the wizardry of combining together art, technology and engineering. Sebring has conceived this decade-long idea into the static pages of the book by the use of a touch screen app, one can basically manipulate the images in all 360 degrees angle as if the viewer is a participant exploring during the shoot. The concept was done using a 100-camera set up arranged in a circle which Sebring calls, “The Rig.” For Sebring, “Every time we shoot, it’s like opening Pandora’s box. It’s a new way of seeing things.” he said. Sebring told NY Daily News, “I wanted to document the human form. I wanted people to pick up the book and use it as a reference or as an art object.“ The fourth dimension, Sebring reveal will be the soundtracks over the shoots completing the interactive photo art.

A Star was born in Australia’s X-Factor!


Ever since Marlisa’s audition for Australia’s X-Factor, Judge Ronan Keating couldn't help but all praises and standing ovation for the 14 year old Australian X-Factor finalist Marlisa Punzalan. Keating was in awe as he told her, “Who you are now is so endearing,”  after singing ‘Stand By You’ earning her another round of standing ovation from the panel of judges of X Factor Australia.
Redfoo astounded by Marlisa’s performance said, “I think you got yourself a hit there. You got a hit there lady. Now all you need to do is win this thing.”
Danii Minogue on her part was all praise telling Marlisa’s superb performance, “Great title, and great performance. A style queen, as I’ve said, all throughout the competition, you have absolute style and grace, stuff you can’t teach people. I’m sure all your friends, your family, and everyone else that’s grown to love you.”

Watch Marlisa on her all judges standing ovation performance of the song ‘Stand by You’


Humbled by the praises and good things being said to her singing talent, Marlisa remained soft spoken and shy. Raised from humble beginnings, the daughter of a Filipino couple living in Australia balanced her time attending school and her X-Factor stints. A true and real inspiration indeed to her schoolmates, family and friends.

[Lady Gaga – photo grab from Elle.com]

Guess who’s joinin’ the list? Well if you haven’t heard much about Lady Gaga these days.  It is because Ms Poker Face is up to somethin.’ The Poker Face pop singer did some pup strollin’ around the busy street of New York with her new French bulldog Asia. Clad in her see-thru black organza outfit matched with a see thru bra and a heavily ornate silver necklace to draw more emphasize about her bared nipples, Lady Gaga now officially joins the list of the 2014 year of the nipples. Busy New Yorkers took glances with some even have that odd reaction on Lady Gaga’s always daring outfit.  The looks on the faces of those people encountered by Ms Poker Face seemed to be of mixed reactions but more on being entertained with the singer’s new nude fashion sense. 
[Lady Gaga – photo grab from Elle.com]

Last month, Lady Gaga was also seen by reporters in Winnipeg wearing only a long plaid trouser matched with a sunglass and a pair of high heeled ankle boots struggling to walk around her pup Asia just hours after the Artpop Ball concert. Lady Gaga’s adopted puppy was everywhere in her Instagram account. Asia was with her when she went surfing on the sea just last week. In one photo, Asia was atop a surfboard with Gaga on it too. Lady Gaga adores this new pooch which she adopted last March this year and loves roamin’ around with her.
As netizens feast on Rihanna’s almost naked gown that bared almost everything at the CFDA event last week, it is now Lady Gaga’s turn to bare hers. Did Lady Gaga post too on her Instagram account? Will Mark Zuckerberg also close her account? Who will be the next sensation joining the nipple baring feast? Ask Lady Gaga’s newly adopted pup Asia, she might know the answer since she was with her most of the time and slept with her in her bedroom.

Instagram at Rihanna: Show some sense of worth!

[Rihanna at CFDA  in the body revealing see-thru gown. Image from dailymail]
Rihanna’s instagram account was censored off by Instagram for flaunting her pornos.  Instagram through its owner Mark Zuckerberg who also owns Facebook has banned singer Rihanna for blatantly posting her explicit images from her Liu Magazine layout.  The banning was initiated with repeated warnings but was ignored. She instead continued to post more of her nude photos, prompting the sanction to be administered at lunchtime last Monday June 2, 2014. It was also last Monday that Riri appeared at the CFDA Awards in New York in a completely sheer and almost naked ensemble. The dress made for her by Fashion Designer Adam Selman.  In an interview by Style.com, the designer describe the ensemble to be just fishnet, crystals and fingers crossed. The translucent mesh dress which took about 230,000 Swarovski crystals was worn by Riri with a matching head scarf and gloves, a pink fur stole and just a nude thong underneath. Selman admitted it was definitely their idea to make it a ‘little bit scandalous while stylist Mel Ottenberg noted that at least eight people have worked painstakingly to put on the finishing touches.

In a revelation from Hollywoodlife.com tells the sheer dress was Rihanna’s sort of revenge dressing to show off singer-rapper Drake whose relationship with Rihanna has just recently broken up.  But Drake’s reaction was some comment that Riri loves to shock people with her pretty extreme ensemble.

Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha Sings as Bangketa Singer

[image grab from ABS CBN media]
Clad in simple street clothes with less and no make up to complete the experiment look.  Asia’s famous Nightingale Lani Misalucha belted out three songs in the noisy, dusty pedestrian side street at the back of Manila City Hall.  The production crew commissioned two blind bangketa singers, Flor and Mel who worked by singing and asking donations from the passing crowds of busy Manila side streets. The two did not know Lani Misalucha will be their guest protégé singer who will join them as they perform and ask for donations from passers-by.

When the experiment started, passers-by just casually passed the two blind workers and proceeded to where they will be going never stopping to even listen nor drop something on the donation box for the two blind workers.  But as Lani started to sing her first song, people started to listen to an unknown face yet familiar high pitched singing voice of Lani.  People started to be mesmerized and one by one stop to listen to the melodious voice.  The two blind workers are even happier not only listening to a strange bangketa singer who offered to sing for them and drew crowd that gets bigger and bigger as she belts out every song to their listening pleasure. People started dropping donations in appreciation to the singing talent and the nice melodies they were hearing. With three familiar songs certainly Lani’s, the crowd got to finally recognize  the face behind the simple street clothes in dark sunglass shades through that distinct voice that only belongs to the one and only Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha.  Excitement grew and one by one people started taking video, pictures of the bangketa singer now unmasked.  Lani took the experience as a treasured one and was overwhelmed with it.  With her experience, she certainly has high and deepest regards to the two blind bangketa workers who painstakingly worked with their talents under the basking heat of the sun, the humid and hot air, he noisy surroundings for just a few sum of donations in exchange for their talent and performance.  To Lani, it was certainly a rare and a very moving experience having performed in a very ‘unusual stage’ but very heart warming experience.

: Anne Curtis is now a certified Concert Biggie

[Image by Smart Araneta media]


Whoever says Anne Curtis can’t carry a tune must have been mumbling on air now.  The famous Kapamilya fantaserye icon has belted out songs never in their wild imagination she can do.  Maybe not someone to compare with Broadway superstars, but Anne certainly did an unmatched performance in her recently concluded concert dubbed as ‘The Forbidden Anne Kapal Concert Round 2.’ Anne has again filled out the Smart Araneta Coliseum by overflowing it to the brim with her followers making her a ‘Concert Biggie.’ As hot as ever, Anne rippled another something for the entertainment scene.  Last year’s bar scandals made Anne’s career almost sour and bleak. The controversy of her as a bad example for the products she endorses created ripples and memes over the social media network.  Early this year, bad moments happened as she got stunned by a box jellyfish while on shoot of her fantasy series ‘Dyesebel’ in Batangas. But now, as she hums another tune, Anne belted all her bad sides out of her system as she did unusual concert singing stunts singing popular hits like ‘Let It Go’  from the animated movie Frozen and originally rendered by Idina Menzel.  Her star glows brightly anew and even hotter than before. Anne is currently one of the most sought after actress and endorser.  The sold out concert was co-produced by Annebisyosa Productions, Inc. and Viva Live was a certified blockbuster making Anne Curtis the next concert biggie in Philippine concert series.  Should Annedecide a sequel or another concert audience can expect more fire and hot numbers from Anne and her concert guests and will surely bring everyone on their feet and clamoring for more.  A sure stand out with more surprises and more exciting numbers.

Beauty and Beyond


What beauty means are differentiated by how a person perceive what beauty is?  Many says beauty lies on the eye of the beholder. To some, natural and exotic is beauty. A handful says beauty and brains are tops. Others say beauty is just skin deep.  Beauty organizers around the world seek far and wide who will stand out from its set of criteria and deserve to wear their prestigious crown and be named as the ‘most beautiful’ among women from different nations of the world who came to participate and compete for the coveted title at stake. However, based on the outcome and history of winning the title crowns there are only a handful of countries in the world who are consistently winning most of the crowns offered by these beauty pageant organizers. And in the year 2013, the Philippines have garnered and was enlisted in the elite list of countries having won the major beauty contests crowns. The elite group consist of Venezuela, the US and the Philippines with Venezuela having won 21 major crowns on top of the list followed by the US with 14 and the Philippines with 9.  The Philippines was also the lone Asian nation to have entered into the elite circle. Qualifying to be listed in the elite circle was winning the top four major beauty title namely: Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss International and Miss Earth.

Assessing and measuring beauty by these ‘big four’ world beauty pageant organizers were based on tabulated score sheets filled up by the assigned contest judges during the pageant. In some instances public polls and voting are being conducted online as aid in the popularity aspect of criteria but this aspect was not a guaranty nor will wholly be the basis of the overall judging criteria. Organizers and pageant benefactors also play a big role though these will never be something to be taken into context since ‘unbiased’ decisions are always claimed and vital for the trust rating satisfaction of the pageant organizers mainly due to the interest of the viewing public.

The inclusion of the Philippines in the elite circle of the ‘big four’ has broken the traditional ‘western countries’ domination of the beauty pageant crowns. With the shift from west to eastern beauty domination, many beauty pageant followers are also unto the quest of what beauty will be based on the historic shifting of winners.  Many eastern countries are hopeful that if Philippines had made it to the elite circle, the feat can still be repeated.  A hope for women in the east or probably the middle, north or south have something to be challenged with.  This all lead to conclude that beauty is an exciting competition being watched and awaited by all people from all corners of the world.  Beautiful women not because they are poised, charming, witty and intelligent but most fitting of all was that they were representatives of making all the countries unite and respect each other as a nation and people of this world.  Beauty maybe in the eye of a person, but each women participant in these beauty contests does not only represent beauty but their respective country, their values, their culture and most significantly people united and one. A quality that radiates beyond what beauty mean.

Peaches with mom Paula[image courtesy of The Telegraph]

At 25, she has made ripples and carved her niche as a contributor for The Guardian, The Telegraph and ITV 2’s OMG!. She was also gaining fast recognition as a model in Tesco’s F&F fashion world in London.  She’s even starting to enjoy her other career, being a new mom again to her youngest Phaedra who is about to turn one on the 24th of this month.  But Peaches’ life was over at a very young and tender age of 25.  She left behind her husband Tom Cohen, lead singer of the band SCUM, who was sad telling, "My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons," in a statement.  She also left behind her dad, Bob Geldof along with her sisters Trixiebelle, Pixie and half-sister Tiger Lily.
Peaches’ death was made known following a concerned report that a 25 year old woman was pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service in Kent.  Police are still under investigation on the circumstances about the cause of death.  Social media sites exchanged bereavement posts among those who early tweeted sympathy were Joe McElderry, Lily Allen, Danny Jones from McFly, Myleene Klass, Chloe Green, Sam Smith and model-friend Daisy Lowe.  DJ Ferne Cotton of Radio One was equally devastated upon learning about the news.  Her father, Bob has this to say about Peaches, “He was fractured so often, but never broken.”  This, despite his grief over the death of Peaches’ mother Paula Yates who died of heroin overdose when she was just 16.  Both were tragic losses and heart breaking indeed for Bob.  It was also reported that Peaches was not yet over her mom’s death and still reminiscing based on her last Instagram photo of herself and mom simply captioned as ‘me and my mum.’

Actor, comedian, host Vhong Navarro was beaten by still unidentified maulers at a condo unit In Fort Bonifacio Taguig City last Wednesday, January 22, 2014.  According to the report issued by Vhong’s talent manager, Director Chito Roño, the actor was invited over to a condo unit at the Fort of an unnamed female friend.  And for unknown reasons, he was blindfolded, tied and was extorted with money by a group of unidentified men. Vhong was also further threatened by the men before leaving him in such condition.
Vhong wasn’t able to fully account what happened to him because of the serious injuries he sustained.  He might also be going to undergo an operation due to the said injuries. The actor was black and blue in his sustained injuries.

GMA Channel 7 however reported that in a blotter report filed at the Southern Police District in Bonifacio Global City.  An alleged complaint for ‘attempted rape’ was lodged by a woman against Vhong Navarro on the night of the mauling. The report said, the attempt was foiled due when two friends of the unidentified woman victim came to her rescue.  But the blotter further indicated the charges were dropped because the woman decided not to press charges against the celebrity. However, Vhong’s talent manager, Chito Roño cried foul over the inhuman treatment suffered by his talent and said justice must be given to what Vhong has suffered and the injuries he sustained. Vhong’s talent manager Chito Roño however denied existence and authenticity of the said blotter entry since the Chief of Police denied about the rape incident complaint.  He even expressed his concern as to how GMA got such report. GMA News Report on Vhong Navarro’s Mauling Incident below:


Navarro was currently recuperating under an undisclosed hospital and his home network, ABS CBN will update about his medical condition as soon as it becomes available.  Several alleged CCTV footages about the mauling incident has gone viral over Facebook but these CCTV captures have been proven to be fake and unreliable.

It turns out to that Heart is still no friend to Marian Rivera, Dingdong’s girlfriend.  She even revealed in the report that in all her past relationship her mother, Cecille Ongpauco never liked anyone among them.

She even cited naming her past boyfriends from  Ian Dy of Isabela, as her first boyfriend then Jericho Rosales, then a certain Charlot (?), Daniel Matsunaga and finally Senator Chiz Escudero.       
The feud that happened between her and Marian rooted during the shooting of Temptation Island last 2011 when she voiced out to Marian that she was ‘excited’ to work with Dingdong Dantes.  Marian suddenly got enraged and rushed to her hotel room and threatened her, “Papatayin ka ng mga fans ko!.” (‘You will be killed by my fans.”) Telling her twice. Because of such threat and for her own protection, she needed to tell what has happened to her parents and seek legal advice.

Russian Daredevils: No Thanks. l'll just use the stairs on my way down!

We see a lot of guts and adrenalin rushing when we watch fast car drivers skid on a hairline edge and we wow on seeing dirt bikes mount and jump off a high altitude in a circus show.  But seeing these Russian kids climb and hang themselves on building structures made me vomit too like those who have earlier watched it.  I want to somehow say, “Ohhhh c’mon they were just kid stuff we also did before when we were young.’  But watching on them do their tricks made some pretty lots of Goosebumps I really cannot comprehend. This is not about ‘fearlessness.  This is plain and simple ‘insanity.'  BEWARE: Not for the weak hearted.  And kids these tricks are done by professionals and extremely dangerous for you!

In their website, they posted a disclaimer that tells:
“you better leave the site if you are under 88 years old, because here you can find materials that will lead to the aesthetic dissatisfaction or even injure your psyche.”

Most of the stunts were filmed, produced and directed by Alex Stockley and Von Statzer. See why these are not videos to be watched by individuals below 88 years old:
