Mikan Ong : PBB 3rd House Player

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 |

After the sudden exit of the first houseplayer ng bayan (Shy) from PBB house, Big Brother sent another houseplayer inside the house with Andy to join force in doing the tasks given by Big Brother. He is Mikan Ong.

Mikan (pronounced as May-kan) is from Olongapo. He is one of the 30 dreamers who did not make it as a housemate.


Like Shy, he is wearing a mask. Mikan (May-kan) Ong was included in the Top 30 of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus (remember those humongous dream keys?) that was announced in the PBB primer. Mikan was called "Big Love" back then.


He revelaed his identity as soon as the housemates were able to get up from bed and gather. His first task is to cook breakfast for the teen housemates.



PBB House Player : Andi and Shy

|

In the confession room, Big Brother instructed Andi with her task as the 2nd teen houseplayer. She was also introduced by Big Brother to the first house player, Shy.

Andi will now help Shy in exposing the true colors of the teen housemates to help the televiewers in picking the right person to win. Big Brother congratulated Shy for a job well done in exposing the true colors of some female teen housemates who are currently nominated for eviction this week. That’s why this time, Big Brother gave the mission to both Shy and Andi to “challenge” the character of the teen housemates, specially the guys.


Shy the 1st PBB House Player has succeded in bringing out the real attitude of the housemates last week especially the female housemates. She was able to win P40,000 (every task has equivalent price money). Last Night Big Brother brought in another PBB House Player to help Shy in her task especially in challenging the boys.

Andrea “Andy” Eigenmann” daughter of award winning actress Jacklyn Jose and Mark Gil and half sister of the controversial Ira Eigenmann who recently was involved in an alleged scandal.


Aside from appearing in PBB Teen Edition Plus, Andy has also starred in Prinsesa ng Banyera as Sandy. Now ain't she pretty? Now the remaining original PBB Teen Edition Plus Housemates have one more cunning angel to watch out for.


Big Brother also made the remaining housemates believe that at the end of this week, two housemates will be replaced by the two House Player, just to see how the housemates would react.


Will Andy succeed in her task?



The real name of PBB Teen Edition Plus House Player Shy, according to a tipster and my diligent research, is Sharleen Farina Runkle. She's an 18-year old girl from Pasay City, and Pinoy Big Brother isn't the first reality TV show that she has appeared in.

Shy (Sharleen Farina Runkle, 18) is included in the Top 30 of GMA-7's StarStruck Fourth Season


Pinoy Big Bother: Teens Dress Up For Their Superhero Task

Wednesday, May 7, 2008 |

Kuya woke the teens early today and instructed them to dress up for their task. Earlier this week the housemates were tasked to draw their all-original superhero.

Josef who drew high heels on his superhero. Everyone was in for a surprise when Kuya announced that he had these drawings made into costumes and Josef would have to wear his high heels. Aside from this he also stated the objective of the game which was to collect many power balls in order to gain super points.

When all emerged from the confession room, the boys snickered at Josef who struggled in wearing the heels. The Lethal LaSallite muttered to himself that he had to start practicing walking in the pair. The girls on the other hand took turns in prepping themselves up and fussing on their hair. The teens talked about their super powers and Nan talked about picking the “super bilis” skill. He would also act as the teens’ referee and judge who among the Super Housemates (Nikki, Priscilla, Alex, Val and Beauty) and the Power Teens (Robi, Ejay, Shy, Josef, Rona) would win. The Junior Kengkoy from Davao was so into his role that he started swishing his props of a long metal pole back and forth, as though preparing for an attack. Rona joined in Nan’s game and also reviewed her “mind power”, asking the guys on how she would go about it. Valerie and Ejay sat away from the group and rehearsed their spiel as superheroes. The Dazzling Doll revealed that she would be the savior of Mother Earth and stop global warming while Ejay would save the world and be a Filipino superman.


The other girls are cheery and all with their renewed friendship. After battling out their differences and triumphing over it, they were once again friendly and sisterly with each other.


It appears that her dramatic lifestyle changes are beginning to pay off, as Britney Spears’ visitation rights with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James have been expanded following a custody hearing with ex-husband Kevin Federline on Tuesday (May 6). While there were no changes in custody rights, K-Fed’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan told press at a news conference that overnight visits “will be phased in in the near future.”

“The court made orders today, they were orders that the parties were able to mostly agree to. It represents a cautious step moving forward,” Kaplan added.

Federline’s legal eagle also mentioned that the court was “pleased with the progress that seems to be occurring” - speaking about the change in Britney’s behavior.

And not to be left out, Court spokesman Allan Parachini read a statement from Britney’s parents, Jamie and Lynne, saying: “We are so pleased with Britney’s progress, and we are very appreciative of the court’s recognition of this progress.”

Next up on the calendar of court dates for Miss Spears is another progress hearing, scheduled for July 15th.


Lindsay Lohan: Ready For TV Stardom

Enjoying a beautiful Monday afternoon, Lindsay Lohan and her BFF Samantha Ronson were spotted out and about in Beverly Hills yesterday. They sported matching black leather jackets, complete with skull and crossbones pins, as well as matching black Ray Ban sunglasses.

And it sounds like LiLo is getting an acting boost after all. Over the weekend, the “Mean Girls” actress began shooting her spot on the ABC hit show “Ugly Betty.” And according to the show’s cast and crew, she’s a dream to work with. “Ugly Betty” creator Silvio Horta told press, “She was terrific- a pleasure. She came in early and was very pleasant.” Things have gone so well, in fact, that Miss Lohan will be back next season for five episodes. Her character is named Kimberly, described as, “a queen bee girl who betty went to high school with.” Apparently there’s some bad blood between Kimberly and Betty, and through a series of flashbacks we get to see some fun historical context.

Britney Helps Her Sister Jamie Lynn Celebrate at Baby Shower

Monday, May 5, 2008 |


It was a family affair Saturday as mom-to-be Jamie Lynn Spears was feted with an intimate baby shower in Kentwood, La.

About 30 guests were invited – including big sis Britney – to Kentwood for a ladies-only, catered celebration for the 17-year-old at the family's Serenity mansion. (Spears hadn't been back to her hometown since her aunt's funeral early last year.)

"Jamie Lynn opened every gift," says a source, adding that mom Lynne and fiancé Casey Aldridge's mother lent a hand. "We all sat in a circle and she opened gifts and thanked every person. It was just a good old-fashioned baby shower."

In March, the Zoey 101 star registered for baby booty at Babies "R" Us.

Though sheriff's deputies were posted at the gate and paparazzi circled in helicopters, "it was a normal shower," says the source. "A wonderful, sweet occasion."


Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon's Marriage

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's recent wedding not only surprised fans, but their friends and close associates, too.

"I'm shell shocked," a source in Carey's camp tells PEOPLE. "As far as I know, they are happy together."

Music mogul Russell Simmons said he didn't know about the nuptials ahead of time, but sees why the pairing works. "Whatever makes them happy," he said Friday. "They have a lot in common and should have a lot of fun together."

Even Cannon's family was surprised by the move. "It's crazy right! We're definitely happy. Well wishes!" Cannon's brother, Gabriel, tells PEOPLE. "I'm trying to be like him and I love him very much."

Another insider says the newlyweds didn't know each other before Carey's video shoot for her song "Bye, Bye" in the Caribbean on March 26. "Nick was cast as the romantic lead and was flown to Antigua where they met so basically their [romance] started during the shoot," the insider says, adding, "She's very into religion and Nick is very into religion. That's something they bonded on."

Whatever their connection, Jacob Arabo, who created the diamond sparkler that the actor gave the singer as an engagement ring, tells PEOPLE that his friend is in love with Carey.

Still, others seem more dubious of the whirlwind romance.

"This is what Nick does; Nick is such a sucker for love," said a source close to Cannon. "He falls in love so quick."

Adds another Cannon insider: "We all thought it was a joke, but he's been impulsive before. He's a mini mogul but still young and maybe this was a crush that went too far.

"Well see. He takes awhile to come down from the cloud."
