SPOTTED: Chuck Bass in Manila for Penshoppe Photo Shoot

Gossip Girl fans...guess who's in town? Why, it's the one and only Chuck Bass! According to my Twitter radar, Ed Westwick (the actor playing Chuck Bass) is in Manila to do a photo shoot for Penshoppe's Pre-Holiday Season 2011 and Summer 2012 campaign.

Along with Penshoppe, Ed's arrival in Manila is in cooperation with PR Asia Worldwide, represented by International Publicist, Joyce Ramirez (who's photographed with the actor).

For anyone who's familiar with Ed Westwick's Gossip Girl character, Chuck Bass, it's no surprise why Penshoppe chose him to represent their brand in their goal to upgrade to an international level. According to Penshoppe's brand manager, Alex Mendoza, "Ed will embody the free and easy, sophisticated casual style that the brand is known for."

Unfortunately, I am not Gossip Girl, and can't tell you what places the actor will go to, for you to try and take a look at him in person. However, you can follow, @PublicityAsia on Twitter, for updates on Ed Westwick's activities in Manila.

Kung Fu Panda 2 in Theaters Tomorrow

Po and the rest of the gang is back! I'm pretty sure it would be funnier and action-packed this time around, especially with the introduction of new villains in the cast. My youngest son, Sef, keeps reminding me everyday that Kung Fu Panda 2 will come out May 26. Like I (a movie-buff) would forget, right?

In Kung Fu Panda 2, Po is now living his dream as The Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, The Furious Five. But Po's new life of awesomeness is threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain, who plans to use a secret, unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy kung fu. He must look to his past and uncover the secrets of his mysterious origins; only then will Po be able to unlock the strength he needs to succeed.

Kristine Hermosa is 6 Weeks Pregnant

After reports of her having a hard time getting pregnant because of her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Kristine Hermosa confirmed through Star Magic publicist, Thess Gubi, that she's finally pregnant. She's 6 weeks on the family way, and couldn't be more happy.

Not so long ago, January 12, 2011, Kristine tied the knot with Oyo Boy Sotto, at Club Balai Isabel in Talisay, Batanggas. They looked so happy during their wedding day, an evidence that Tin appeared to have really found a soul-mate with Oyo.

Here's another look at their wedding video by Bong Sare.

Can't Stay Away from Each Other?

I can't help it - I'm gonna say it...."Spotted, Blake Lively strolling along the streets of Portofino, Italy with Leonardo Di Caprio!" I think this is it, we're nearing a confirmation that they really are together. Is 'B' the reason why 'L' recently split up with her ex, who's another 'B'? What a jump (or should I say 'leap'?) - from Penn Badgely to Leo Di Caprio.

Am I the only one excited about this new couple? I think not! They look so good together, so eat your heart out, Brangelina! :)

Who's Going to be the Next American Idol?

When American Idol Season 10 began, I told my husband that the winner will most likely be a country singer. Well, it looks like I am correct with my prediction, since the two finalists are both country singers - Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

When Thursday night came, American Idol's avid viewers found out who will the finalists be, and the road to becoming the next Idol finally came to an end for Haley Reinhart. Although the girl could really sing, she was not a crowd favorite from the start, proven by her repeatedly being a part of the bottom three. But Haley gave a strong comeback performance, and remained at the top until Thursday night's elimination.

Elimination night also witnessed the making of new Idol history first, the two finalists, Lauren and Scotty, ages 16 and 17 years old respectively, are the youngest two finalists ever on American Idol.

Will Steven's prediction of finding 'the one', right after Lauren's audition, come true? Honestly, my2cents, if Lauren sings well on finale night, she will be favored more by voters and win the American Idol crown. I'm crossing my fingers that she does, to end the losing streak of women singers on Idol, come finale night.

Is Blair Pregnant with Chuck's Child?

Another season has ended for Gossip Girl, and what a season finale (aptly titled, 'The Wrong Goodbye') it has been. First, there was the revelation of who Charlie (Serena's cousin) really is, then there's Vanessa's discovery of Dan's secret (that he really badly wanted to join the 'elite' Upper East Side crowd), Georgina's return, Chuck and Blair's one night stand (well, more one hour than one night), and of course, the cliffhanger of the season - Dorota picking up Serena and Blair's trash that has a used pregnancy test kit with a positive result on it. So who's pregnant, Serena or Blair?

Towards the end of Gossip Girl's Season 4 finale episode, the main characters of the show go off their separate ways -

Blair flies off to Monaco with Louis, to spend her summer there, and to prepare for her upcoming royal wedding.

Serena goes to California for the summer, while Dan decides to go to the Hamptons (surprise, surprise). I thought at first they were both off to the Hamptons, and I was ready to give this big question mark on whether they will see each other there, and rekindle their romance once again. So, Serena goes to California with her grandmother, where she meets a new guy, and it looked like she also found a new job.

Charlie goes back home, and when Serena's aunt meets her at the bus station, it was revealed that she isn't Charlie after all, but Ivy. She was hired by her 'supposed' mom, Carol, to obtain the real Charlie's trust fund money. Apparently, Carol didn't want her real daughter to go near Cece, Lily, Serena, and the Upper East Side.

Vanessa steals Dan's manuscript, sells it to a publisher (with an anonymous author), and asked for the money to be sent to her new address - in Spain.

Meanwhile, Chuck and Nate, now both eligible bachelors once again, chose a random place using the Globe to spend their summer in.

So, who is pregnant? The obvious points to Blair. Between Chuck and Louis, she already chose the former, since she loves him more than the prince. Before she begins her fairytale life, though, she did "do the deed" with Chuck, a few hours before she went with her prince. It's the clear proof that she's the one who tested positive with a home pregnancy test. If that is true, then Chair's (Chuck+Blair) love story just got more exciting!

Still, let us not forget that it's Gossip Girl we're talking about here. Just because the obvious points to Blair, doesn't mean that we're positive that she's positive. It could be Serena. After all, they shared one bathroom, right? Maybe she had a rendezvous meeting with Dan or Nate. Well, we'll never know until the show returns in September. Ugh! 4 months of waiting!

XOXO

An Amazing Wedding Proposal

I saw this video on YouTube, and it really made me tear up. Matt asked for Ginny's hand in marriage, in the coolest marriage proposal I have ever seen. It all happened at the cinema, before the film showing of Fast Five. Bravo!
