BFF’s shopping

Hudgens-Tisdale-Shopping

It’s really good to know that even though Vanessa Hudgens is no longer with Zac Efron, she and Ashley Tisdale are still BFF’s. The photo above is of the two of them shopping for a Christmas tree together with Vanessa’s new boyfriend, Austin Butler (not in photo).

It always make me smile whenever I see best friends spending time together and this photo is a reminder for me to spend more time with my friends.

Belated Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy 2012 to all!!!

Talk some sense

You have the opportunity to talk 5 minutes worth of sense into a wayward celebrity. Who do you choose? What do you say?

I’d choose two celebrities. Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse. Both ladies are talented and both are throwing their lives away!

I’d tell Lindsay to ditch Samantha Ronson and the dubious people around her. Ditch her mom as her manager because she is her enabler! Go and get a life coach. Spend a year in rehab! Go and be alone and just learn how to manage her life without the need to turn to drugs and alcohol at every sign of insecurity or uncertainty. She is talented and beautiful. She is young. She has a lot going for her. She doesn’t need to always be the center of attention because it only makes her feel the more insecure. She can concentrate on getting better and going back to acting.

I’d tell Amy to also ditch the people who are influencing her to do drugs and alcohol. Ditch the dirty hair and clean herself up! She has a voice that can inspire people. She is gifted with a voice that can change lives! She should also go to rehab and stay there for at least a year or until she can already handle her addiction. Her talent is wasted on self-destruction when there’s no need for her to turn to that. She is beautiful and all she needs to do is look into her soul to know it.

Cinema Evaluation Board

I am just wondering… how credible is this film grading body in the Philippines. Cinema Evaluation Board is an organization that evaluates a movie’s overall merit. It will give a grade to it and each grade will carry with it a tax incentive. This is what I know of CEB.

I’ve been reading about the grades it gave out to different local movies in the past and I am baffled by the way they grade movies. Imagine, giving a grade B rating to My Valentine Girls! Yes, that movie starring ham actor Richard Gutierrez and a slew of starlets. A B-rating would mean a 50% tax incentive to the movie producer. Is the movie really that good? Or the standards of this evaluation board really that low? I doubt if the movie’s that good! I’ve seen Richard Gutierrez’s movies and all of it were cringe-worthy! You cannot deny the fact that he is extremely good-looking. But the acting? Come on! He’d be swallowed whole by bit actors in ABS-CBN teleseryes! Admit it! Those of you who’ve seen his movies and even TV shows know what I’m talking about. He can act but not really well.

I think someone should tell CEB not to dole out grades based on just because they feel the movie will be popular to the masses.

Teen stars

I admire Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, and the rest of the younger set of stars who are working hard to be able to buy their own houses or save up so they have something to fall back on should their stars start to fade.

I just read in an entertainment report today that Kim’s house is worth 10million pesos! Wow! The teen star is really working hard and not even taking any vacation breaks so as to earn a lot for her house. And because of that, she was able to buy a lot in a post subdivision in Quezon City and the house currently being built on it is about to be finished. The same goes for Sarah Geronimo. Almost no vacation for this pop singer and you can read reports about her being a responsible and loving daughter to her parents.

Meanwhile, teen starlet LJ Reyes is reportedly 6 months pregnant by her boyfriend who’s also a talent of GMA Network. Wala pa ngang napapatunayan nagkabuntisan na!

Movies I missed

I missed a lot of movies that I was eagerly awaiting the release of…

my-sisters-keeper-movie-poster

My Sister’s Keeper. I’ve always wanted to see this movie. Although I’ve read that the reviews were disappointing. Still, I wanted to watch it. Because the book is really great.

the_time_travelers_wife_movie_poster

The Time Traveler’s Wife is another movie I was eagerly awaiting but haven’t caught in the threatres. For some reason, I missed it. That time it was being shown locally, I was busy with some important matters.

Oh well, there’s DVDs anyway. I can still watch it when the DVDs will be released.

My yummy love! =)

Fabio and his Italian muscle car. Just look at that pretty car! Fabio’s looking pretty good as well for a 50-year-old guy. He still looks the same as those romance novel covers hehehe

Here’s a photo of my favorite eye candy, Robert Pattinson

Happy Monday everyone!

I will watch this one!

Freaky! Let The Right One In is a movie I am not aware of until I read this article, There will be blood by Scott R. Garceau.

Watch the official trailer of Let The Right One In below and let me know what you think…

Where can I find this movie?!

I just don’t get it.

Why would you insist on adopting a kid who still has parents, who in turn do not have any intention of giving their kid away? Why?

Above is Madonna with her newly adopted kid, Mercy James from Malawi. Ever since Angelina Jolie started this trend of adopting kids from different parts of the world, celebrities followed suit. It’s like a fad where everyone wants to be “in”. Even local celebrities like Claudine Barretto is into the bandwagon.

Adoption is a very good option to those who can’t have kids of their own. Or those who does not want to undergo labor. Or those having problems with their health. I have been thinking about this myself because I have doubts about my reproductive system.

Sure, some of these celebrities actually have good intentions. Probably like what Madonna’s camp is saying that they want to give the kid a better future. But to actually force to adopt a kid…

Just couldn’t understand this.

TCP has cold :(

Oh yeah, I woke up yesterday morning with a scratchy throat and now I have a full-blown cold. Sigh. My head is aching and I can feel my joints like a very old person. I hate being sick. I don’t get sick easily but due to the weather change…

Lots of fluids and rest for TCP.

Our Perfect Little Christmas Tree

It’s been a decade that we didn’t have a Christmas tree and for the last three years (every Christmas season) we have been planning to buy one. We plan to buy as grand as at least 5ft.-6ft. high christmas tree but lo and behold we never had one. This year as early as June we plan again to buy a Christmas tree, and we promised to buy it this time. It’s only last week that the plan came to life and neither I or my sisters bought the tree, it’s our Dad who bought it. The funny part is the height of the tree, it’s only two feet! From six feet down to two feet – i’ts perfect! I’m not kidding, it’s pretty perfect for me. It’s space saver and not a lot of moolah had been burned. Everytime I look at the tree no matter how small it is, it reminds me that Christmas is just around the corner and the nostalgic feeling slowly creeps on me. I just wish that our Christmas and yours will be as perfect as our little tree. Happy Holidays!

Something Personal

I realized that I haven’t been posting personal posts here. Always about the artists that I follow or read about. So from here on, I will post random personal entries in this blog. It will be what is happening around my couch ;)

And by the way, I am sorry for being late in posting entertainment news these past few days. I am adjusting to a new schedule I have.

From The Couch Potato…

The Couch is having the weekend off.
Happy Halloween!!!
Be safe! Don’t drink and drive. And share the sweets! :P

Happy weekend everyone!
