"Lee Min Ho admits being bisexual" is hoax

Korean Superstar Lee Min Ho is trending on social media websites. An article originating from abs-cbnnews.com with headline that reads "Lee min Ho admits being bisexual" is being shared numerous times.

But when the news portal of ABS-CBN was searched using the search term "site:abs-cbnnews.com Lee Min Ho admits being bisexual", only 3 search results was shown which mean no article with such title or story was ever written on ABS-CBN News.

This incident was comparable when Kris Aquino made headline last week on ABS-CBN rival website gmanetwork.com about an STD virus coming from which causes stink on NAIA Terminal 1

The website issued a disclaimer about the story and to quote,

Clicking on the link would redirect the user to the actual GMA News Online story Overflowing septic tank causes a stink at NAIA-1 that was posted on July 19 at 1:28 p.m.

For the record, GMA News Online has never posted a story with the headline on the STD virus. Neither was the website hacked.

Abuse on sharing of news articles on social media website Facebook.com will continue as long as the website giant does not impose changes on how their users share article.

Was Paolo Bediones just being experimental on his sex video?

The man who delivers the news is now the news being delivered. Paolo Bediones, anchorman of TV5's nightly newscast Aksyon is seen in action on a bed naked with an unidentified woman.

But according to several reports, the not-so-Astig! sex video was taped years ago before he moved to TV5. The video has already existed during his Extra Challenge days on GMA7 and that sources are puzzled why it was only this time that the video leaked.

Ang siste pala, habang ini-extra-challenge niya ang ibang celebrities, may ginagawa rin pala siyang extra-challenge na something very personal sa kama. Kaloka!


The video which went viral on Sunday afternoon July 27, created several memes online and "Paolo Bediones" trended on social media website Twitter. Some of Paolo's followers already asked him about it on his social media accounts.

While Bediones has yet to comment on the controversy, his network TV5 has already aired statement to news organizations. In a report by PhilStar.com, the network said:

“The recent issue involving our news anchor Paolo Bediones on social media is a purely personal and private matter in which TV5 has no involvement or desire to intrude. We accord our employee and talents all respect that are due them for their privacy and personal action or decision.

We disapprove strongly the malicious and wanton publication of the video, an act that clearly violates pertinent cybercrime laws.

We firmly express our support for our anchor Paolo Bediones in the face of a controversy that represents nothing more than an attempt to smear his reputation.”

Should Paolo Bediones, now at age 40, single, and whose gender was questioned during the peak of his career, be thankful of the leaked video as it would erase the doubts regarding his sexual preference? Just asking...

Will we hear Paolo cry it's a "Demolition Job" for him?

Is PBB Loisa Andalio facing possible "force eviction"?

In this video, PBB housemate Loisa Andalio was seen pointing a knife against housemate Manolo. Although the knife-pointing scene wasn't in a way done in serious manner, it somehow falls onto PBB's rule that "any form of violence of a housemate will put him/her automatically into force eviction".

Manolo, being aware of this, tells Loisa, "Oh. oh, oh... FE (Force Evict), FE na iyan". Upon hearing this, Loisa immediately handed down the knife and made a reason, "kinukuha ko lang kutsilyo".

In PBB history, at least three housemates were forced evicted by showing act of violence inside the house.

PBB Season 2 housemate Maricris was forced evicted because of insinuation that she'll stab fellow housemate Bea. While in PBB Teens Season 2, Eslove Briones was forced evicted when he raised a knife against Tricia.

In PBB Double Up, Tom Rodriguez, now a kapuso, was also forced evicted by showing violence when he repeatedly hit and destroying part of the PBB wall. Rodriguez was emotional after losing in a weekly challenge.

Post by Pinoy Showbiz Daily.

"Hindi ka naman mukhang artista, Ruth. Hindi ka naman maganda. So, huwag ka nang magpaka-feeling na magugustuhan ka ni Atty. Topacio."

"In person and on tv, you don't look good at all", Barretto added.

Kabog!

This means that the hunk actor wants to be released from the binding contract he signed with GMA Network.

Could this be the reason why he's seen together a few days ago with actress Claudine Barretto on Atty Ferdie Topacio's Twitter account?

Proofs that Typhoon Glenda is stronger that Typhoon KathNiel

A day before She's Dating The Gangster was shown in theaters, we are all anticipating which "typhoon" willl emerge stronger. Is it Typhoon Glenda or Typhoon KathNiel?

Unfortunately, the Wednesday morning of Mega Manila and the rest of Southern Luzon and Visayas regions were greeted by typhoon Glenda. So in effect, people stayed inside their homes. Although few cinemas were reported to have a long queue for SDTG, one can't be denied that Typhoon Glenda is much stronger than KathNiel.

Here are some photos to prove it:

A portion of Glorietta 5 in Makati City, defaced

Shangri-la (also in Makati City), defaced

Newly-constructed SM Aura facade in Taguig City, worn out

See? Glenda was able to deface these major shopping malls in Metro Manila while KathNiel didn't. As of this writing, no first-day gross had been reported by Star Cinema officials. Fans expect the movie to pick-up by Thursday and the coming weekend.
