The Invisible Man

Grace Lee: PNoy's latest Apple of the Eye.


Grace Lee, a Filipina-Korean television host and radio disc jockey, is said to be the latest 'apple of the eye' of President Benigno Aquino III. The host of the now defunct Diz Iz It! noontime show which aired on GMA-7 last year caught the bachelor president's attention in his visit to Cebu.

Aquino attended the inauguration of Korean Electric Power Corporation’s (KEPCO) 100-Megawatt coal-fired power plant in Barangay Colon, Naga City in Cebu on Monday, June 27.

Speaking in mixed visayan and tagalog, Aquino started his speech with a compliment towards beautiful ladies in Cebu.

“Bago ho ako magumpisa mayroon lang akong itatanong kay Governor Gwen sana, kung puwe-puwede ho. Gov. Gwen: mahimo bang mangutana nganu man sa kada bisita nako dinhi sa Cebu, masdaghang gwapa apil si Governor Gwen,” the president said.

Afterwards, he panned his eyes at Grace Lee, the master of ceremonies clad in traditional Korean dress.

“Kaya pag inimbita ho ako sa Cebu, hindi ho mahirap talagang maimbita dito. Pati iyong bisita nating si Ms. Gracie, kala ko tuloy, Pinay. Hindi nga pala: Korean—pati ang mga Korean na dumarating, talagang gwapa lahat. Kailangan yatang buhayin iyong Malacañang Sugbu! Baka dito na rin ho tayo magkatuluyan … pero nawawala tayo sa usapan,” PNoy said in his speech.

The president's moment was caught on cam and then the media and bloggers started to give it color.

Last month, it was Bunny Calica, the 27-year-old educator who reportedly teaches mostly Korean students, who got linked to the president. Calica and PNoy were spotted together during the reunion concert of the Hotdog band.

On the other hand, Lee in 2010 was also linked to controversial PBA superstar James Yap, the ex-husband of TV host Kris Aquino, the president's sister. Lee has refuted the rumor.

In addition to her native Korean, Lee can speak Tagalog and English. Before becoming a TV host, she has been hosting events for Korean-Filipino communities as well as being an official interpreter for Malacañang.

Lee was born and raised in Seoul, but moved to the Philippines at the age of 10 because of her father's business, which involved importing Korean cars. She studied from third grade to senior high school in St. Paul College in Pasig City and graduated in Ateneo de Manila University, where she obtained her

Marcelito Pomoy is PGT 2's grand winner



Singer Marcelito Pomoy was proclaimed the grand winner of ABS-CBN’s "Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) Season 2," the country’s biggest nationwide talent reality show, on Sunday.

Pomoy bested 13 other grand finalists after garnering 19.56% of the text votes.

The "doble-kara" performer took home a whopping P2 million in cash prize.

Meantime, dancing duo Happy Feet and Hip-hop dance group Freestylers were the 2 other grand finalists who comprised PGT’s top 3. They got 18.32% and 9.46% of the text votes, respectively.

During the PGT's Performance night on Saturday, the 27-year-old singer from Cavite dubbed as the "Man with the golden female voice" wowed the crowd with his rendition of "The Prayer."

Pomoy, who has been consistently topping PGT's text votes, received three standing ovations from judges Ai-Ai delas Alas, Kris Aquino and Freddie M. Garcia.

The two-part finale featured the spectacular performaces of 14 finalists on Saturday and the results night on Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

PGT's most-awaited episode on both nights topped the worldwide trending topics of microblogging site, "Twitter."

Prior to Pomoy, singer Jovit Baldivino was hailed as the PGT's grand winner last year.

British climber finds six dead mountaineers in French Alps

YAHOO

A British climber on Sunday found the bodies of six mountaineers in the French Alps who fell to their deaths in one of the worst accidents in the region in years.

The dead included a 16-year-old boy, two men and three women aged between 42 and 64, all French nationals, said regional prosecutor Remy Avon, who did not disclose their identities.
He also distanced himself from earlier reports suggesting the group fell following an avalanche of snow and stones.

"A priori, it is not an avalanche.... For the moment, we do not know the reason" for the fall, he said, explaining that officials in the area have opened an investigation into the tragic accident.

The mayor of the nearby village of Villar d'Arene, Xavier Cret, had earlier told AFP there may have been "a slide of snow and stones" that caused the mountaineers to fall to their deaths.

The climbers set out Saturday at around 0600 GMT under a clear sky carrying the gear necessary for a steep climb, including ice picks, clamps and clothing suited to high altitude physical exertion, Avon said.

Two separate groups were roped together, a common safety practice to ensure that someone who slips can be held up by their climbing companions.

The first group approached a peak at an altitude of 3,217 metres (10,500 feet) called Plate des Agneaux, then fell between 150 and 200 metres back down the mountain, leaving traces of shifting earth above them, Avon said, citing reports from the preliminary investigation.

The prosecutor speculated the first group may have forced the trailing group to fall, but also noted it was possible the two groups fell independently.

The bodies were found on the Neige Cordier summit at 3,000 metres and taken by helicopter to Villar d'Arene, according to the mayor.

The British hiker stumbled across the bodies as he was taking the same route that they had followed a day before, mountain rescue police said.

Their bodies were found in a narrow, steep-sided ravine that is regularly used by skiers in winter and climbers in summer.

Cret, the mayor, said the group was tied together with two ropes when found.

He explained that any fall in that part of the Alps could have "serious consequences," but noted there have been few accidents in the area where climbing conditions are not particularly difficult.
But the accident with six fatalities is one of the worst such cases in recent years in France. In June 2007, five climbers from the same family died after a fall on a nearby mountain.

The dangers of mountain climbing were further highlighted in Switzerland on Sunday, where a 42-year-old Italian died trying to ascend the 3,370 metre Galenstock peak.
The man's two companions aborted the climb due to fog and a strong wind, but the victim decided to press on and later fell some 200 metres for reasons that were not immediately clear, area police said in a statement.

Cory Monteith aka Finn of Glee was a Junkie

The 29 year old star, which rose to fame through TV's "Glee", revealed that when he was younger he used to do drugs and was brought into rehab, according to ABC news website.
29-year-old Monteith who plays Finn, a naïve high school football star in "Glee", told Parade magazine that he was nothing like his own screen character when he was 13 years old.
The actor revealed that he skipped school to get drunk, smoke pot and had attended over 12 different schools.

"I burned a lot of bridges. I was out of control, I had a serious problem (with drugs)," Monteith was quoted as saying.

Afraid that he could die, his mother and a group of friends staged an intervention.
"That's when I first went to rehab. I did the stint but then went back to doing exactly what I left off doing."

Monteith said he felt lucky to be alive after his troubled youth, and it was only later during his teen years that he felt it was time to get clean.
Since starring in "Glee", Monteith has starred in "Monte Carlo" with Selena Gomez and Leighton Meester.

Monteith will next appear in "Glee The 3D Concert Movie" a concert film based on the series' cast concert tour, which is expected to hit Malaysian cinemas on 18 August 2011 and in Singapore on 1 September 2011.
