2012-02-03T09:28:00.000-08:00

Nick Carter performed at the Irving Plaza in New York City Thursday night, 2 days after his sister Leslie's death. In the show, the former Backstreet Boys member took a moment to dedicate a song to his sister.

"I’ve never done this before, and I never thought I’d ever have to, but I’d like to dedicate this song to my sister," Nick told the crowd before starting an emotional rendition of "Falling Down."

Check out Nick's performance below:

Nick's sister Leslie died at the age of 25 on February 1st. A police report indicates that she suffered a drug overdose.

According to Ginger Carter, her stepmother, Leslie had suffered “a long history of mental illness and was on medication for her depression” and that she appeared distressed the morning of her death.

Gisele Bundchen’s email sent privately to friends, family goes public

2012-02-03T08:59:00.000-08:00

Gisele Bundchen for H&M

Gisele Bundchen, supermodel and United Nations Environment Programme Goodwill ambassador, sent an email to her friends and family asking them to pray for her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Bundchen's private email, however, has gone public after The New York Post featured it on its front page.

In the email, Bundchen writes:

“My sweet friends and family

“This sunday will be a really important day in my husband’s life. He and his team worked so hard to get to this point and now they need us more than ever to send them positive energy so they can fulfill their dream of winning this super bowl . . .

“So I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory this sunday.

“Thank you for your love and support. Love, G :)”

When asked by the Post about the email, the Brazilian supermodel responded: "I am surprised that you received this e-mail; it was a private note only sent to close friends and family."

Madonna debuts 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' music video

2012-02-03T07:47:00.000-08:00

Madonna is back!

The Queen of Pop has released the music video for her single "Give Me All Your Luvin'" featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.

Check out below Madonna's newest visual directed by Megaforce:

"Give Me All Your Luvin'" is lifted from the Queen of Pop's twelfth studio album, "MDNA." Released today, the song, is the debut release from her Live Nation contract and distributed in partnership with Interscope Records, under a new three-album deal.

Via her Facebook page last December, Madonna exclaimed, "Its official! I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music! Music I can dance to. I'm on the lookout for the maddest, sickest, most badass people to collaborate with. I'm just saying."

Madonna had revealed she wanted to work with Minaj and M.I.A on the track as they were both strong, independent girls with a unique voice, and that she liked their music and what they represented.

The song will be performed by Madonna and Minaj at the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show on February 5, 2012.

Sandara Park in Albay

Sandara Park, also known as Dara, and the other members of popular Korean pop group 2NE1 are not just in Albay for rest and relaxation as earlier reported.

Citing a source, a "Bandila" report said the girls are in the country to shoot for a TV series, known in the Philippines as Koreanovela.

It is not yet clear if it is part of "2NE1TV," the group's TV show which aired its 3rd season in 2011.

Based on the photos posted by Sandara on her blog, they are staying at the Misibis Bay Resort in Cagraray Island, Bacacay, Albay.

2NE1 arrived in the Philippines last Wednesday.

After this visit in the country, the South Korean pop and hip-hop all-girl group will be getting ready for some promotional activities in Japan.

Pussycat Dolls back with all-new members

2012-02-02T05:57:00.000-08:00

The New Pussycat Dolls

American all-girl group Pussycat Dolls are set for return in the limelight with all-new members.

The newly reformed group will debut on a GoDaddy ad which will air during the Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday.

The announcement was made by Pussycat Dolls creator Robin Antin on the same day it was announced that former Pussycat Dolls leader Nicole Scherzinger is not coming back as "The X Factor" judge in the show's second season.

"The dancing is spectacular. Everyone is amazing," Antin told MTV. "It's the exact right recipe for the new Pussycat Dolls. We just did the Go Daddy commercial, Super Bowl spot — really excited about it. It's sexy and all that. It's a quick look for people to see the girls together for the first time."

The new Pussycat Dolls are now composed of Christina Sayers (from Girlicious), Paula Van Oppen (former "So You Think You Can Dance" contestant), Lauren Bennett (former Paradiso Girls), Vanessa Curry (former Laker girl), and Erica Jenkins (ex Dallas Cowboys cheerleader).

They replace the original members Scherzinger, Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt, and Carmit Bachar who left the group in 2008.

2NE1 in Albay for vacation

2012-02-02T01:20:00.000-08:00

2NE1 spending vacation in Albay

2NE1 is back in the Philippines!

The popular Korean girl group is not in the country to perform but is here for some rest and relaxation which they chose to spend in Albay.

2NE1 members Dara, CL, Bom and Minzy, who arrived in the Philippines Wednesday, are reportedly staying at the Misibis Bay Resort in Cagraray Island, Bacacay, Albay.

In her past interview, Dara, better known by many Pinoys as Sandara Park or Sandy, revealed that she has been trying to persuade her group members to visit her second home, the Philippines, again.

Before joining 2NE1, Dara became popular in the Philippines for her successful stint on ABS-CBN's "Star Circle Quest."

After this visit in the country, the South Korean pop and hip-hop group will be getting ready for some promotional activities in Japan.

Avril and Brody spotted having dinner date

Avril and Brody | Photo: Avril's Twitter

Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner might be getting back together.

Despite their reported break-up last month, Avril and Brody were spotted dining out together in Los Angeles on Monday.

Citing a source, E! News reported that the exes are open to getting back together, which may happen after Avril's concert tour dates in Japan.

Another source stated that Avril is just "the kind of girl who stays in touch with her exes."

Celebrity gossip magazine Life & Style reported in January that Avril, 27, and Brody, 26, have called it quits after nearly two years together.

"It wasn't working out and they wanted to go their separate ways." the report said.

However, the said report has not been confirmed by the pair.

The "Complicated" singer has been married before to Sum 41 lead vocalist Deryck Whibley, whom she wed in July 2006.

She started dating the former "Hills" hunk shortly after filing for divorce in 2009.

Watchmen prequel comics to be released by DC Entertainment

2012-02-01T16:05:00.000-08:00

Watchmen prequel series to expand Watchmen universe

DC Entertainment announced Wednesday seven "Watchmen" prequel mini-series which will be released this summer.

To carry the "Before Watchmen" banner, the seven inter-connected stories will build on the foundation of the original "Watchmen," widely recognized as the bestselling graphic novel in history.

"It’s our responsibility as publishers to find new ways to keep all of our characters relevant," said DC Entertainment Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee. "After twenty five years, the Watchmen are classic characters whose time has come for new stories to be told. We sought out the best writers and artists in the industry to build on the complex mythology of the original."

"Before Watchmen" will reportedly include the following:

RORSCHACH (4 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: Lee Bermejo
MINUTEMEN (6 issues) – Writer/Artist: Darwyn Cooke
COMEDIAN (6 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: J.G. Jones
DR. MANHATTAN (4 issues) – Writer: J. Michael Straczynski. Artist: Adam Hughes
NITE OWL (4 issues) – Writer: J. Michael Straczynski. Artists: Andy and Joe Kubert
OZYMANDIAS (6 issues) – Writer: Len Wein. Artist: Jae Lee
SILK SPECTRE (4 issues) – Writer: Darwyn Cooke. Artist: Amanda Conner

Each issue will feature a two-page back-up story titled "Curse Of The Crimson Corsair" from Wein and original Watchmen colorist John Higgins. The series will also culminate in the single-issue "Before Watchmen: Epilogue" from various artists and writers and a "Crimson Corsair" story by Wein and Higgins.

"The original series of 'Watchmen' is the complete story that Alan Moore and I wanted to tell. However, I appreciate DC’s reasons for this initiative and the wish of the artists and writers involved to pay tribute to our work. May these new additions have the success they desire," said Dave Gibbons, "WAtchmen" co-creator and original series artist.

“Comic books are perhaps the largest and longest running form of collaborative fiction,” said DiDio and Lee. “Collaborative storytelling is what keeps these fictional universes current and relevant.”

Grace Lee, PNoy 'seeing each other'

2012-02-01T05:13:00.000-08:00

Grace Lee and PNoy are dating!

Grace Lee and President Noynoy "PNoy" Aquino are "seeing each other," PNoy revealed in an ambush interview with the media Wednesday.

PNoy, however, refused to provide more details, citing his constitutional right to privacy.

"I think I'll leave it at that," PNoy said.

Lee has also been introduced by PNoy to some of the members of the First Family, according to an ABS-CBN report.

Grace Lee, 29, and PNoy, 51, first met during an event in Cebu last year, where Lee was a co-host.

Filipino-Korean Grace Lee is a disc jockey and an entertainment news anchor on GMANewsTV.

Born and raised in Korea, Lee migrated with her family to the Philippines when she was age 10 because of her dad’s business. She is a graduate of AB Interdisciplinary Studies (Communication and Chinese Studies) at Ateneo de Manila University.

Lee was once linked to PBA star James Yap, estranged husband of PNoy's little sister Kris Aquino.

2012-02-01T04:40:00.000-08:00

Sisters Krissy & Ericka have released the music of their original single, "12:51."

Krissy & Ericka "Twelve:Fifty One" album cover

"12:51" is the carrier single of the singing duo's second album "Twelve:Fifty One" released in the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Krissy said it took her two years to write the song when she was trying to move on from a failed relationship. She added that the lyrics of the song reflect the things she felt during that time.

The Youtube sensations are dedicating this "emo" song to all the girls for the upcoming Valentine's day.

Check out its music video below:

Here's the song's lyrics:

12:51 by Krissy & Ericka Lyrics

I'm scrolling through my cellphone for the 20th time today

I'm reading that text you sent me again

Though I memorized it anyway

It was an afternoon in December

When it reminded you of the day

When we bumped into each other

But you didn't say HI 'cause I looked away

And maybe that was the biggest mistake of my life

And maybe I haven't moved on since that night

'Cause it's 12:51 and I thought my feelings were gone

But I'm lying on my bed thinking of you again noypistuff

And the moon shines so bright but I gotta dry these tears tonight

'Cause you're moving on and I'm not that strong to hold on any longer

Oh oh oh oh..

And I saw you with her, didn't think you'd find another

And my world just seem to crush shouldn't have thought that his would last

And maybe that was the biggest mistake of my life

And maybe I haven't moved on since that night

'Cause it's 12:51 and I thought my feelings were gone

But I'm lying on my bed thinking of you again noypistuff

And the moon shines so bright but I gotta dry these tears tonight

'Cause you're moving on and I'm not that strong to hold on any longer

As the sky gets brighter and my eyes begin to tired

I'm slowly drowning in memories of him

And I know it shouldn't matter as my heart begins to shatter

I'm left to wonder just how it should have been yeaaaah

'Cause it's 12:51 and I thought my feelings were gone

But I'm lying on my bed I'm not thinking of you again noypistuff

And the moon shines so bright but I gotta dry these tears tonight

'Cause you're moving on and I'm not that strong to hold on

'Cause I'll prove you wrong I can move on through this song so much stronger

Oh oh oh oh..

14-pound baby Asher Stewardson | Photo credit: Ch13

A nearly 14-pound baby boy was born in the United States on Thursday.

What's more amazing about the ~ 14-pound baby is that he is au naturel, he was born naturally via normal vaginal delivery. His mother endured six hours of labor without C-section, not even epidural injection.

"We wanted to avoid a C-section because that would have not been good for me or the baby," mom Kendall Stewardson said. "We didn't want to forfeit the best possible outcome."

Weighing 13 pounds and 12 ounces and measuring 23 ½ inches long upon birth, baby Asher Stewardson was born at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa Thursday. He is believed to be the biggest baby ever born at the hospital without a surgical delivery. Fifteen months ago, his brother, Judah, arrived weighing 12 pounds and an ounce at birth.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 2 in 5 births are in the 6.5- to 7.5-pound range. Only 1 in 1,000 newborns weighs more than 11 pounds.

The heaviest baby born to a healthy mother weighed 22 pounds and 8 ounces, according to the Guiness World Records. He was born in September 1955 in Aversa, Italy.

Below is the song's lyrics:

Steal Your Soul by Markki Stroem Lyrics

Looking through the glass I see you smiling at me
Watching as you slowly slip on your pair of jeans
From my mountain top
I feel my heart beat stop
Over and over and over and over

I steal your soul, I steal your soul
I steal it
More and more each day
Your heartbeat grows, your heartbeat grows
In me oh, in me
Each and everyday

I watch you in the park carefully reading a book
You stare at me and smile, don't give me a second look
I feel like suicide
Cuz something in me died
Over and over and over and over

I steal your soul, I steal your soul
I steal it
More and more each day
Your heartbeat grows, your heartbeat grows
In me oh, in me
Each and everyday

Every night I watch you as you sleep
Morning comes I feel so incomplete
See him waiting on you by your bed
Somehow I wish I could just shoot him dead

So I did

I steal your soul, I steal your soul
I steal it
More and more each day
Your heartbeat grows, your heartbeat grows
In me oh, in me
Each and everyday

I steal your soul, I steal your soul
I steal it
More and more each day
Your heartbeat grows, your heartbeat grows
In me oh, in me

Each and everyday

Demi Moore is dead according to a rumor that has spread on Twitter.

"RIP Demi Moore" is currently trending on the microblogging site, only fueling further speculations.

The recently hospitalized Demi Moore is struggling with her health right now but very much alive. Hence, the rumors are false.

Moore is just the latest victim of death hoax on Twitter, putting her in the company of celebrities like Justin Bieber, Jackie Chan, Jon Bon Jovi, David Guetta, Lady Gaga, and Cher who were all subjects of RIP rumors.

Meanwhile, the dramatic 911 call made by Moore's friend before the actress was brought to a hospital has been released by the Los Angeles police. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tQp7dTWRd0&feature=player_embedded

Viacom CEO's pay drops to nearly half in 2011

2012-01-27T06:03:00.000-08:00

Viacom CEO Dauman's pay nearly halved

The CEO of Viacom Inc.(VIA) received a total pay valued at $43.12 million in 2011, just more than half of his compensation from a year earlier, the company said in a securities filing Friday.

CEO Philippe P. Dauman's compensation in 2010 was $83.52 million, making him the highest-paid among 350 CEOs that year, according to a Hay Group study for The Wall Street Journal. His large 2010 pay was mainly due to equity awards in a renewed contract.

Dauman's pay last year included a $3.5 million base salary, a $20 million bonus, and over $19 million in stock and options.

Despite the decline, Dauman's total compensation was still bigger than that of Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger, whose 2011 pay reached 31.4 million. It was also more than News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch's pay of $33.3 million.

However, Dauman will not be the highest paid CEO for 2011 - Apple's Tim Cook was awarded a $378 million package for replacing Steve Jobs as CEO.

Christian Bautista deported from Indonesia

Christian Bautista deported from Indonesia

Singer-actor Christian Bautista has been deported from Indonesia for violating terms of his visa, the Jakarta Globe reported Friday.

Bautista was found staging a performance in Lippo Karawaci, Tangerang Wednesday night despite having only a free visa. He reportedly violated immigration regulations for doing so, prompting officials to confiscate his passport and question him the next day.

"Immigration official Herawan Sukoaji said on Friday that Bautista was being deported for disrespecting and disobeying Indonesia’s 30-day visa regulations, which prohibit foreigners from working while in the country." the Indonesian news website wrote.

The report added that Bautista has been barred from entering Indonesia for half a year.

The singer will be ushered to a Singapore Airlines flight back to the Philippines Friday night.

iPhone factory exposé offensive, cries Tim Cook

Apple CEO Tim Cook has responded to the exposé by the New York Times that alleges inhumane working conditions and labor abuse in its iPad and iPhone factories in China and that it "never cared about anything other than increasing product quality and decreasing production cost" as a Foxconn executive was quoted as saying in a Times report.

"We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. Any accident is deeply troubling, and any issue with working conditions is cause for concern. Any suggestion that we don’t care is patently false and offensive to us. As you know better than anyone, accusations like these are contrary to our values. It’s not who we are. For the many hundreds of you who are based at our suppliers’ manufacturing sites around the world, or spend long stretches working there away from your families, I know you are as outraged by this as I am." Cook wrote in a lengthy email sent to all Apple employees.

According to a report by the Times, Chinese factory workers are subjected to poor working conditions which include seven day work weeks, working 12 hour shifts and living in overcrowded dormitories for very low pay. The employees reportedly complained of swollen legs for standing while working for such long hours and that they can hardly work after shift.

The Times also cited reports of mass accidental poisonings and factory explosions that killed four people and injured dozens more.

Although he asserted to the fallacy of these claims, Cook may also be tacitly admitting that there are things that still need to be improved. He added, "We will continue to dig deeper, and we will undoubtedly find more issues. What we will not do — and never have done — is stand still or turn a blind eye to problems in our supply chain. On this you have my word."

Cook also emphasized that there is a program in his company that educates workers to their rights and that encourages the reporting of workplace violations.

Ricky Martin and his boyfriend Carlos Gonzalez are set to tie the knot on January 28, 2012, Spanish-language newspaper El Nuevo Dia reported.

An unnamed source was quoted by the paper that the "Livin la Vida Loca" singer and his longtime lover's wedding will take place in the city of New York where gay marriage is legal.

So is the couple, who looks happy together, ready to walk down the aisle as reported?

According to Ricky's rep, the Puerto Rican singer has "no set plans to marry," dismissing rumors of a New York wedding this January.

"It is a completely incorrect report," the rep told entertainment sites.

There was also a report last year that Ricky, who was awarded a Spanish citizenship recently, will be marrying his economist boyfriend in Spain where gay marriage is also legal. Buenos Aires was also abuzz when reports came out in December that Ricky and Carlos are marrying in the Argentinian capital.

Ricky Martin, who has 2 kids, revealed his sexual orientation in 2010. He revealed the identity of his boyfriend at the GLAAD Media Awards in New York City last year.

Update: Luis Manzano tweeted that "Alta" has been cancelled.

KC Concepcion will not just be hosting on TV this year. Megastar's daughter is also set to showcase her acting skills in an upcoming teleserye on ABS-CBN, "Alta," which will also star Gretchen Barretto and Angelica Panganiban.

"Alta," which originated from the Spanish word "alta de sociedad" or high society, will be about glitz, glamor, deceit, vengeance and other facets of the luxurious world of high society.

In the series, KC will play as the younger sister of Gretchen, a dead-set on turning against the expectations that comes with being part of rich family.

KC said in an interview that she had to lose weight for the series and attend an acting workshop.

The Kapamilya actress had also expressed her excitement over the three main characters of the primetime soap.

"It’s really exciting kasi nag-shoot na kaming tatlong girls. Ako, na-e-excite ako kung ano kaya mangyayari sa kanilang tatlo, iba-ibang hugot ng damdamin, ng emosyon… Iba-iba yung kwento nilang tatlo e. It’s a new thing for me. Sa three years ko sa showbiz, ang dami ko ng nagawa pero this project makes me realize na madami pa akong pwedeng gawin," KC told Push in November.

The series will also star Zanjoe Marudo, Luis Manzano and Diether Ocampo.

The trailer of "Alta" has been uploaded on Youtube. Check it out below:

"Whoever said money can't buy happiness obviously didn't know where to shop. Money makes the world go round and I have it in every currency!" - Marga (Gretchen Barretto)

"Kaya kong bilhin pati pag-ibig mo." - Rafael (Luis Manzano)

"Wala akong pakialam o kailangang patunayan, pagmamahal mo lang ang gusto kong ipaglaban." - Vince (Diether Ocampo)

"You may say that I'm a lady pero pag ang lalakeng mahal ko ang inagaw mo kaya ko ring lumaban parang aso!" - Alexa (KC Concepcion)

"Ang tunay na lalake maingat at walang takot magmahal. Mahalin mo lang ako ng walang takot iingatan ko ang puso mo." - Ato (Zanjoe Marudo)

Park Min Young and Lee Min Ho break up

2012-01-26T00:42:00.000-08:00

Park Min Young and Lee Min Ho split

Park Min Young and Lee Min Ho, stars of Koreanovela "City Hunter" which airs on ABS-CBN, have called it quits, according to Park's agency.

The agency revealed that although the couple have broken up for a while now, the South Korean actress did not make public their split because "it was embarrassing to directly reveal that they broke up and she had to consider the agency’s position."

"They became strangers before the 2011 Acting Awards. With this reason, Park Min Young and Lee Min Ho had attended two different award ceremonies… Lee Min Ho went to SBS Acting Awards, while Park Min Young had went to the KBS Acting Awards," the agency said.

The actress' agency added that the main reason for the break-up was the celebrities' busy schedules.

"Park Min Young had to film for KBS‘s ‘Man of Honor‘, she did not have time to rest for a while. Lee Min Ho also had to film for his advertisements and attend his oversea activities, and we know that he is very busy… The two could not meet often and naturally broke up," the Park Min Young's camp explained.

Lee's managers, meanwhile, claimed they have no idea Lee had called it quits with his co-star.

"If they had split up, Lee Min Ho would have told us," said a spokesperson from Lee's management agency.

Park Min Young, 25, and Lee Min Ho, 24, started dating last year.

Rep. Iggy Arroyo dead at 60

2012-01-25T21:21:00.000-08:00

Congressman Iggy Arroyo dies

Negros Occidental Representative Ignacio "Iggy" Tuason Arroyo, Jr., younger brother of former First Gentleman Jose Miguel "Mike" Arroyo, has died. He was 60.

Atty. Mike Arroyo told ABS-CBN News that his brother had a cardiac arrest, Wednesday night.

"At that point, an ambulance was called for (Iggy Arroyo) in London," he said. "He was revived at the hospital but he went into a coma. This morning, his heart stopped beating."

The younger Arroyo flew to London last year to seek treatment for a liver ailment.

Update: Mike Arroyo clarified his earlier statement about the death of his brother.

"(Mike) Arroyo says his source initially told him that he passed away, only to find out just now that Iggy still on life support." a tweet from ABS-CBN News reporter RG Cruz reads.

"Arroyo says though that life support could be taken out anytime," Cruz added.

Taylor Swift part of 'Les Miserables' big screen adaptation?

It looks like Taylor Swift will be playing the role of Eponine in the movie adaptation of the hit musical "Les Miserables."

Reports about the "Fearless" singer beating out Lea Michele, Scarlett Johansson and Evan Rachel Wood for the role came out earlier this month.

Although an official casting announcement is yet to be made, it is likely that the songstress has accepted the coveted role as evidenced by her reported meeting earlier this week with the film's producer, Sir Cameron Mackintosh.

If it's true, Taylor will be joining the movie's A-list cast including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Helena Bonham Carter. Amanda Seyfried was also reported to have been offered for the role of Cosette.

The Hollywood power couple released a joint statement Sunday saying they have decided to separate.

“While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul searching we have decided to separate,” the couple wrote. “We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.”

Most valuable company title reclaimed by Apple

2012-01-25T00:40:00.000-08:00

Most valuable company title reclaimed by tech giant

Apple Inc. became the most valuable company once again after surpassing the market cap of oil giant Exxon Mobil on Wednesday.

A day after Apple's record first quarter earnings was reported, the tech company's shares jumped. Its stocks rose 6.65% to end at $448.5 a share, putting its market cap at $418 billion.

Exxon Mobil's shares, meanwhile, declined to give it a market cap of $415 billion.

Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple announced Tuesday that net income in its latest quarter more than doubled, while revenue grew 73 percent.

"We’re thrilled with our outstanding results and record-breaking sales of iPhones, iPads, and Macs," said CEO Tim Cook in a statement. "Apple’s momentum is incredibly strong, and we have some amazing new products in the pipeline."

More than half of Apple’s revenue for the quarter came from iPhone sales for the first time since they hit the market. The number of iPhones sold reached 37 million, generating over $24 billion in revenue.

Apple first topped Exxon as the most valuable company in August, then fell back to second place. The Irving, Texas-based oil and gas giant had held the top spot since 2005.

Prayer cards tradition of Alaska Airlines ends, Sarah Palin reacts

2012-01-25T00:18:00.000-08:00

Prayer cards given to American Airlines passengers

Alaska Airlines is ending its prayer cards tradition.

According to the airline company, it will cease its 30-year practice of handing out prayer cards with meals to its passenger after receiving feedback from customers who prefer not to mix religion with transportation.

"Some customers were comforted by the cards and some didn't feel religion was appropriate on the plane and preferred not to receive one," Alaska Airlines spokesperson Bobbie Egan told the Associated Press.

The airline said the change will take effect starting February 1st.

"Religious beliefs are deeply personal and sharing them with others is an individual choice," the airline wrote in an email sent to its frequent flyers.

Via her Facebook page, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin released a statement regarding the discontinuation of the airline tradition.

"It feels so odd that some may be offended by a little card with an encouraging non-denominational verse from the Psalms, but how often do we hear complaints about tawdry ads or billboard images flashing at us everywhere we turn?," Palin wrote. "People of faith and common decency just shrug and move on from the constant assault on their sensibilities; we don't call for censorship -- at least I don't."

Palin continued, "So, why in this day and age must every reference to faith in God be censored from the public square? Why must a private company buckle under pressure from a handful of people who find a little card saying “the Lord is my shepherd” offensive? I’m sure there are many more people who appreciate the cards, or at least are ambivalent about them."

The politician also attached an email she sent to Alaska Airlines, appealing the airline not to discontinue the prayer cards.

"It’s come to my attention that the cards may be discontinued due to a few who are offended. I really hope this is just a rumor. Please remain strong and courageous in the face of a cultural trend that wants to wage war on any positive thing that a few may construe as offensive. The Alaska Airlines tradition should be looked upon as an all-American, hopeful, encouraging gesture. Please don’t discontinue the cards." Palin's email reads.

"Thanks for an AMAZING FINAL CDT date Manila!" Katy tweeted after the concert. "Sorry to keep u waiting earlier… had to solve a security issue, but THE SHOW WENT SPLENDIDLY!"

Katy Perry kisses Ivan Dorschner at her concert in Manila (Video)

Katy Perry kisses Ivan Dorschner

Katy Perry kissed a guy in Manila and she liked it!

During her concert at SM Mall of Asia in Manila on Sunday, Katy Perry asked a lucky guy from the audience to be with her on the stage and surprised him with a kiss, reportedly on the lips! The "Firework" singer must have liked it since the guy was no other than the handsome Pinoy Big Brother alum Ivan Dorschner.

The American pop-singer then allowed Ivan to kiss her back.

Katy Perry actually did the same thing during the Jakarta leg of her "California Dreams Tour" but if the lips part were true, Ivan's case was different then since the Indonesian guy only got a kiss on his cheek.

Update: A source said Katy Perry only kissed Ivan on the cheeks, not on the lips! Katy Perry reportedly told the crowd that the first guy to take his top off could come up on stage.

Here's a video of Katy Perry kissing Ivan:

Vietnam vet finds winning lottery ticket he thought he'd lost

Vietnam vet awarded his lottery winnings | Photo: 22News

Napolean Elvord, a Vietnam veteran, owns the winning ticket for the $14.3 million Wisconsin Megabucks jackpot on January 14 but it took him three days to realize he won. He said he temporarily lost the lottery ticket and so he did not know he hit the jackpot.

Luckily, after three days of searching for it, Elvord found the lost ticket on a table in his home.

According to a report by the Wisconsin State Journal, the lottery regular also accidentally placed a bet on the wrong lottery game.

Elvord finally collected his winnings last Friday. He opted for a $10.2 million lump sum cash payment, which will come out to $6.87 million after taxes.

Asked by 22News about his plans with the money, the semi-retired construction worker said,

"I hadn't really made any plans yet, but I do look at the economy and think about the people that have lost homes that had homes and had jobs."

He added, "And I'm into construction, I like remodeling, fixing up things and I'm looking at possibly doing something in that area to re-sell homes and bring people back into their housing area."

According to reports, Elvord, who has been receiving dialysis for five years, is also spending some of the winnings on health expenses. He plans to move to his native state of Texas as well.

Johnny Depp plays a vampire in 'Dark Shadows' movie

2012-01-21T05:56:00.000-08:00

Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collin

Johnny Depp will be portraying as a vampire in an upcoming Tim Burton movie, "Dark Shadows."

In the movie, the versatile 48-year-old actor will be Barnabas Collins, an 18th century vampire who awakens to the 20th century where he encounters monsters, witches, werewolves and other fictional creatures.

The supernatural drama is based on a 1966-1971 gothic soap opera of the same name. Its all-star ensemble cast also includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Bella Heathcote, Chloe Moretz, and newcomer Gulliver McGrath.

The film is set to be released on May 11 in the United States.

Here's the movie's storyline, according to Warner Brothers:

In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better.

Six new dog breeds to debut at WKC show (Photos)

2012-01-20T22:46:00.000-08:00

Six new dog breeds are slated to make their debut at the Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) Dog Show this year, after recognized by the American Kennel Club and made eligible for competition in conformation shows.

Here are information and photos of the new dog breeds provided by the WKC:

Entlebucher (ent-lee-BOO’-kehr) Mountain Dog (Herding Group)

- a native of Switzerland, and the smallest of the four Swiss breeds. A medium-sized drover, he has a short, tri-colored coat with symmetrical markings. Purpose and heritage have resulted in an unusually intense bonding between the Entlebucher and his master. Prized for his work ethic and ease of training, he can transform from a high-spirited playmate to a serious, self-assured dog of commanding presence. The Entlebucher should not be considered a breed for the casual owner. The guardian traits of this breed require thorough socialization, and he will remain an active, energetic dog for his entire lifetime.

Norwegian Lundehund (LUHN'-dee-hund) or Puffin Dog (Non-Sporting Group)

- spent centuries on the rocky cliffs and high fields of arctic Norway hunting and retrieving puffin birds, an important meat and feather crop to local farmers. Uniquely equipped for their task, this little Spitz-type dog has at least six toes on each foot for stability in the near vertical environs where puffins nest. A flexible skeletal structure enables the dog to squirm out of tight spots or spread-eagle to prevent slips and falls. Lundehunds have a protective double coat, reddish-brown, often with white collar and feet and a white tip on the tail. Today puffin birds are protected and the puffin dog has taken up its new role as an alert, cheerful and somewhat mischievous companion.

American English Coonhound (Hound Group)

- evolved from Virginia Hounds, descendants of English Foxhounds. Originally these hounds were used to hunt fox by day and raccoons by night and were named the English Fox and Coonhound. Today's American English Coonhound is a wide-ranging hunter that possesses tremendous speed and endurance, and excellent voice. A strong and graceful athlete, he needs regular exercise to stay in peak shape. The breed's hard, protective coat is of medium length and can be red and white ticked, blue and white ticked, tri-colored with ticking, red and white, and white and black. The breed is pleasant, alert, confident and sociable with both humans and dogs.

Finnish Lapphund (LAP'-hundh) (Herding Group)
-is a reindeer herding dog from the northern parts of Scandinavia. The breed is thought to have existed for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, as the helper dog of the native tribes. In modern day, Lapphunds are popular as family pets in their native Finland. They are devoted to their family, friendly with all people, highly intelligent and eager to learn. The dogs have a thick, dense coat that comes in a variety of colors and beautiful, soft, expressive faces. They are strong but very agile.

Cesky (CHESS'-key) Terrier (Terrier Group)
-was developed to be a well-muscled, short legged and well-pigmented hunting terrier that could be worked in packs. The Cesky Terrier has natural drop ears and a natural tail. The Cesky is longer than it is tall and has a topline that rises slightly higher over the loin and rump. It sports a soft, long, silky coat in shades of gray from Charcoal to Platinum. The correct coat is clipped to emphasize a slim impression. The hallmarks of the breed should be unique unto itself with a lean body and graceful movement. They are reserved towards strangers, loyal to their owners, but ever keen and alert during the hunt.

Xoloitzcuintli (show-low-itz-QUINT'-lee) a.k.a. "Show-low" (Non-Sporting Group)
-is the national dog of Mexico. Previously known as the Mexican Hairless, it comes in three sizes as well as a coated version - seen in the show ring only in the US and Canada. These dogs descend from hairless dogs prized by the Aztecs and revered as guardians of the dead. Over 400 years later, these dogs were still to be found in the Mexican jungles. Shaped by the environment rather than by man, their keen intelligence, trainability and natural cleanliness have made them a unique and valued pet today.

The new dog breeds will be competing against 179 previously recognized breeds at the 2012 WKC Dog Show on February 13-14 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Chevy Volt battery fires investigation closed by NHTSA

2012-01-20T09:53:00.000-08:00

Chevy Volt investigation ended

The Chevy Volt battery fires investigation conducted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) since November has been closed on Friday. The NHTSA concluded that there is "no discernible defect trend" and that Chevy Volts or other electric vehicles do not "pose a greater risk of fire than gasoline-powered vehicles."

Below is the statement made by the NHTSA regarding the conclusion of the Chevy Volt investigation:

Today, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration closed its safety defect investigation into the potential risk of fire in Chevy Volts that have been involved in a serious crash. Opened on November 25, the agency’s investigation has concluded that no discernible defect trend exists and that the vehicle modifications recently developed by General Motors reduce the potential for battery intrusion resulting from side impacts.

NHTSA remains unaware of any real-world crashes that have resulted in a battery-related fire involving the Chevy Volt or any other electric vehicle. NHTSA continues to believe that electric vehicles show great promise as a safe and fuel-efficient option for American drivers. However, as the reports released in conjunction with the closure of the investigation today indicate, fires following NHTSA crash tests of the vehicle and its battery components — and the innovative nature of this emerging technology — led the agency to take the unusual step of opening a safety defect investigation in the absence of data from real-world incidents.

Based on the available data, NHTSA does not believe that Chevy Volts or other electric vehicles pose a greater risk of fire than gasoline-powered vehicles. Generally all vehicles have some risk of fire in the event of a serious crash. However, electric vehicles have specific attributes that should be made clear to consumers, the emergency response community, and tow truck operators and storage facilities. Recognizing these considerations, NHTSA has developed interim guidance — with the assistance of the National Fire Protection Association, the Department of Energy, and others — to increase awareness and identify appropriate safety measures for these groups. The agency expects this guidance will help inform the ongoing work by NFPA, DOE, and vehicle manufacturers to educate the emergency response community, law enforcement officers, and others about electric vehicles.

The 11th season of the top-rating U.S. talent search "American Idol" premiered today with auditions in Savannah, Georgia. As in every audition venues, the Savannah auditions were jam-packed with hopefuls wanting to jump start their music careers through the highly watched show.

One particular auditionee somehow got Noypi viewers' attention after saying she's going to sing "In This Song" by our very own Charice.

Jessica Whitely, 19, said she has sung the U.S. national anthem at football games and other similar events. So it must be a good indicator that she's going to nail the Charice piece right? Wrong.

Jessica's audition was loud and aggressive and was bad enough for judge Randy Jackson to call it "awful."

Jessica vowed to come back for the Texas auditions but judge Jennifer Lopez commented someone should advise her not to make the drive.

Check out Jessica's version of "In This Song" below:

Matteo Guidicelli unleashes 'Kaba' music video

2012-01-19T18:24:00.000-08:00

Matteo Guidicelli has released the music video for the theme song of "My Cactus Heart," Vehnee Saturno's "Kaba." Check out the music video below which also features scenes from the movie and thus can be considered a teaser as well:

This is Matteo's first movie-starring role. In one of his interviews, the 22-year-old actor said it is a dream come true for him.

"This makes me smile just thinking about na may pelikula ako," told Push. "It’s a dream come true and I can’t ask for more, it is a dream come true."

"My Cactus Heart" tells the story of Sandy (Maja Salvador), a heart-breaker who doesn’t believe that there is such a thing as a happily-ever-after, until two men come along, played by Matteo and Xian Lim, one of whom will change Sandy’s cynical attitude towards living and loving.

Star Cinema's second offering this year, the movie is set to be released on January 25, 2011.

Megaupload shut down by US feds, 7 charged

Megaupload taken down

Megaupload.com, one of the world's largest file-sharing sites, has been taken down by the United States federal government. Seven people and two corporations associated with the site were charged with copyright infringement and other crimes.

The U.S. Justice Department said the individuals and companies were indicted for "running an international organized criminal enterprise allegedly responsible for massive worldwide online piracy of numerous types of copyrighted works, through Megaupload.com and other related sites, generating more than $175 million in criminal proceeds and causing more than half a billion dollars in harm to copyright owners."

It added that the action is "among the largest criminal copyright cases ever brought by the United States."

Four of MegaUpload's operators, including the site's founder Kim Dotcom, have been arrested in New Zealand, while three other defendants remain at large. If convicted they reportedly could face a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Not listed on the indictment is rapper Swizz Beatz who is the CEO of MegaUpload according to a New York Post report. Beatz is the husband of pop singer Alicia Keys.

Ira Rothken, an attorney for MegaUpload, said in an interview that he is yet to read the entire indictment.

"Our initial impression is that the allegations are without merit and MegaUpload is going to vigorously contest them," he said. "We have deep concerns over due process and assets being taken without the opportunity for a hearing."

According to latest reports, a hacker group called Anonymous launched a cyber attack that at least temporarily brought down the websites of the Justice Department, Recording Industry Association of America, Motion Picture Association of America and Universal Music Group in response to Megaupload's indictment.
