Ukrayan with the Stars
1) Take a handful of B-list celebrities (yung mga tinatawag na "Laotian" sa Pilipinas)
2) Pair them off with professional ballroom dancers (hindi yung mga "commissioner" at "attorney" na nambibiktima ng mga matrona)
3) Put them through weeks and weeks of formal dance training
4) Watch as they try to pass off their pathetic shuffling as "dancing"
5) Ignore the judges' comments, because they don't really matter that much in the long run (kung tutuusin, pag pinagsabihan ka ba naman na "there is more romance between Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump" kaysa sa inyong dalawa ng partner mo eh hindi mo din didibdibin iyon, ano?)
Siguro kung wala ka sa Tate eh hindi mo talaga maiintindihan kung sinu-sino ang mga "stars" na naisama dito sa programang ito, which might diminish your enjoyment slightly. But that shouldn't take away from the super fantastic dance numbers, tulad nito...
Forget, for a moment, that Apolo Anton Ohno used to be a super hot Olympic athlete (speed skating, to be exact), and let's concentrate on that tiger costume for a minute. Ano ito, Lion King? O baka naman ito ang homage nila doon sa dance number ni Sacha Baron Cohen sa Madagascar, kasi pag napapanood ko ang video na ito parang naiimagine kong si Borat ang kumakanta.
But that's nothing kung ikukumpara mo sa All Time Ultimate Dancing With The Stars Moment starring none other than Drew "Yung Kapatid ni Nick na Kumakanta Din Pero Naunang Mag-Asawa" Lachey...
There. Are. No. WORDS.

Battle of the Reality Show Singing Sensayshauns: U2 Covers Edition
And in the other corner, MiG Ayesa (of last last year's Rock Star: INXS) and The Dawn (of the alternate-reality docudrama movie Tulad ng Dati) covering "Pride (In the Name of Love)" live at Araneta Coliseum when they opened for INXS with JD Fortune.
Tingnan natin kung sino'ng dakila at sino ang TUNAY NA BALIW (sorry) sa pag-cover nila ng mga Greatest Hits ng pinakamalupit na banda sa buong mundo. Game!

Don Ho: 1930 - 2007
For many, no trip to Hawaii was complete without seeing his Waikiki show — a mix of songs, jokes, double entendres, Hawaii history and audience participation.
Shows usually started and ended with the same song, "Tiny Bubbles." Ho mostly hummed the song's swaying melody as the audience enthusiastically took over the familiar lyrics: "Tiny bubbles/in the wine/make me happy/make me feel fine."
"I hate that song," he often joked to the crowd. He said he performed it twice because "people my age can't remember if we did it or not."
It doesn't matter where you were on the debate of the commodification of Hawaii or the cheesiness of "tourist" culture: Don Ho was The Man. Rest in peace, Don.

(Note from Mei: Napanood ko yung interview ni Mikey sa TOTOO TV with Maverick and Ariel. Sinabi niya na nakilala daw ni Mikey ang wife niya sa isang family reunion... which means na PINAKASALAN NI MIKEY ANG DISTANT COUSIN NIYA! Eeeeeeekkkkk!!!!! In the words of my dear Mahmah Mei, ang mga mayayaman talaga....)
Anyways,tumambay ako sa IMDb.com para hanapin ang filmography ni Presidential Son.Isa-isa nating himayin ang titles ng mga ito:
SABLAY KA NA,PASAWAY KA PA(2005) (as 'Mikey Arroyo')--- MIKEY ARROYO AS HIMSELF?YUNG TITLE KAYA EH PATAMA PARA SA KANYA?

WALANG IBANG ______________ SA ELEKSYON KUNDI ________________
WALANG IBANG BABAE SI___________________ KUNDI _______________
DI KITA MA-REACH(2001)( as Ben) --
---GANYAN TALAGA ANG MGA DUGONG BUGHAW,HINDI MAABOT NG MASA.
MAHAL KITA KAHIT SINO KA PA (2001) (as Lt. Bernardo)
(Note from Meimei: Hehe nakakatawa yung fez ni Juday sa picture na ito! Kung puwede ko lang basahin ang iniisip niya... "Oy, Mikey, puwede ba? Magmumog ka nga muna ng Listerine, ano? Parang nasobrahan yata sa bawang yung sisig na kinain mo kanina! Hayyy, sana si Borgy Manotoc na lang ang ginawa ninyong ka-loveteam ko...")
SUPER IDOL (2001)( as Alfred) ---LAGI NA LANG MAY SUPER.
DI 'KO KAYANG TANGGAPIN (2000) ---ANG ANO?PAMILYA MO?
(Note from Head Intern Arthur: Ma'm Bakeks, pinatawag ko na ang mga bodyguards ninyo. Pinagsuot ko po sila ng Kevlar tulad ng order ninyo...)
LARGADO, IBABALIK KITA SA PINANGGALINGAN MO! (1999)
... aka Largado (Philippines: Tagalog title: short title)
Note from Office Driver Jopet: IBABALIK KITA SA PINANGGALINGAN MO? Ay, parang ito yung nangyari noong isang araw noong pinatawag ako nina Arthur at Marco kasi nakainom si Ma'm Bakeks ng.... (*sabay tago sa ilalim ng desk para hindi ma-resbak ng mga bodyguards*)
ANG BOYFRIEND KUNG PARI(1999) - Note from Head Intern Shaun: Hindi ako expert sa Catholic dogma and theology - hindi katulad ng mga kabarkada ni Meimei doon sa Hawaii - pero di ba bawal iyan? At kung hindi naman bawal eh di ba may mga theological and psychological complicashauns ang mga iyan? Kaya tuloy maraming nagdedemandahan sa simbahan! Shame, shame.
ANG MATON AT ANG SHOWGIRL (1998) - Note from Head Intern Arthur: Saan kaya puwedeng maka-score ng "dibidi" nito? Gusto ko kasing magpadala ng kopya nito sa mga members ng Cueshe....
TAPATAN NG TAPANG(1997) (as Mikey Arroyo) --TAPATAN NG TAPANG NG APOG PATULAN ANG TF NG PELIKULANG ITO. TAPANG NG APOG
PARA I-PURSUE ANG SHOWBIZ AT ACTING CAREER!
AT BAKIT KAYA ANG LILIIT NG MGA LITRATO NG POSTERS NG PELIKULA SA INTERNET?Ito kaya ay dahil:
1. Maliit ang kinita ng mga pelikulang ito sa takilya
2. Hindi sila pinalabas ng matagal sa sinehan
3. Totoo nga ang conspiracy theory ko na mayroong [CENSORED BY THE MTRCB FOR UNSUITABLE CONTENT]
4. Kinahihiya nilang malaman ng ibang tao na may ganung klaseng pelikula
5. Walang may pakilalam sa mga pelikulang yun
6. ALL OF THE ABOVE

When Baduy Happened to Philippine Politics, Part 2: Guilty Feet Have Got No Rhythm
Oy, pasalamat kayo at hindi ako nabilaukan habang pinapanood ko ito sa YouTube, ano? Keyboard + herbal tea + Richard Gomez campaign ad = guaranteed malfunction na hindi madaling mapaayos sa inyong suking Geek Squad.
And speaking of mga bagay na hindi madaling mapaayos, tingnan po natin ang One and Only Dancing Queen of the Philippine Senate...
Hay naku, Tessie, kahit mag-sorry ka pa nang mag-sorry eh parang naglalagay ka lang ng Band-Aid sa isang malaking sugat na hindi gumagaling. Pero if ever na feel ulit ni Tessie na magsayaw, may naisip ako na puwede niyang gamitin na kapartner. Lahat ng sayaw sa mundo kaya niya - chacha, tango, foxtrot, waltz, square dance, line dance, tinikling, singkil, pandango sa ilaw - basta hindi mo siya kinokontra. Heto siya sa kanyang bagong diskarte...
Heto ang tanong ko sa iyo, Tessie: Kung ikaw ang Presidente ng sarili mong bansa, pagkakatiwalaan mo ba ang sarili mo sa lalakeng ito? Thought so.
