Winning the most coveted title of the pageant is just one of the amazing achievements of the beautiful lass from Iligan City (she was born in Iligan but grew up in General Santos City). She topped the Architect Licensure Exam last June 2010. She also finished BS Architecture with Latin honors (Magna Cum Laude) at University of the Philippines-Diliman. She was also the Class Salutatorian when she graduated in Makati High School.

During the Question and Answer portion of last night's event, she was asked of the question below:

"What worthy cause do you identify yourself with and why?"

Her answer was: "I think the one worthy cause I can identify myself with is valuing education. Because I believe education is something that cannot be taken away from you. You can have money, you can have fame, but in the end, it can be taken from you. But education will always be there to help you."

Shamcey Supsup will be representing the Philippines in the Miss Universe competition on September 12 in Brazil.

Regine Velasquez expecting first child at 40

Entertainment columnist Jun Lalin recently confirmed that Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez is pregnant. He further revealed that Mrs. Alcasid is in her 5th week of pregnancy during the 1st anniversary episode of TV5's "Paparazzi" last Sunday.

Actress-host Ruffa Gutierrez also confirmed the report via Twitter:

“Wow Congratulations to Regine & Ogie! So happy for tme!:)” Ruffa tweeted.

Regine's condition was said to be the reason why the 40-year old singer-actress collapsed while doing "Party Pilipinas" a couple of weeks ago. Her doctor reportedly advised her to take it slow while working.

Regine Velasquez and husband actor-composer-singer Ogie Alcasid got married on December 22, 2010.

Noypi's Notes:

FYI: Pregnant women below the age of 18 and above 35 are very susceptible of complications of pregnancy. Regine must take her doctor's advices seriously then.

Happy for the couple, though! Congrats! :D

Katy Perry - ET featuring Kanye West Music Video and Lyrics

Singer Katy Perry recently launched the music video of her song "ET" which features rapper Kanye West.

On this video, Katy Perry's makeup transformed her into an extraterrestrial with reptilian eyes, blue liptick, and floating around in Viktor & Rolf gown.

In an MTV interview, Katy Perry shared how hard the shoot was for her.

"It was, like, five and six hours, each makeup look," Perry said. "It was hard for me! It was really a patience thing for me on this video. But, you know, it's like when you're doing a film. Sometimes you have to do prosthetics, and you have to get really old or turn into an animal or a monster — and that's kind of what this process was."

However, people can't help comparing the brand new music video of Katy Perry to that of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way".

The LA times reportedly said the video was "unoriginal".

"What she does do well is to absorb everything she sees around her and then present it in an ultra-shiny package that never takes itself too seriously."

Check out music video below and judge for yourself:

Let me add the lyrics here as well.

Katy Perry - ET Lyrics

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating, leaves my body glowing

They say be afraid
You're not like the others, futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you

You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic

You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

This is transcendental
On another level
Boy, you're my lucky star

I wanna walk on your wavelength
And be there when you vibrate
For you I'll risk it all

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

Thia Megia performs for the last time as a contestant on American Idol 10

It was the last time for the Filipino-American Thia Megia to perform as a contestant in American Idol 10 during the Top 11 double-elimination episode, earlier.

Together with fellow finalists Pia Toscano and Hailey Reinhart, Thia performed Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream". Immediately after the performance, Thia was announced as one of the 'bottom three' joining Naima Adebapo and Paul McDonald.

Moments after Jamie Fox and Will.iam did a number, host Ryan Seacrest delivered the verdict. It was Paul who was 'save', ending Thia and Naima's American Idol journey.

Thia Megia joins the list of Filipino-Americans who became finalists of American Idol. The list includes Jasmine Trias, Camille Velasco, and Ramiele Malubay.

Thia Megia, Naima Adebapo bid farewell to their American Idol journey

Nope. This is not an April Fools' joke -wish it is. (Be careful though on what you read in other sites, today. Lol)

Despite Thia Megia's beautiful rendition of Elton John's song "Daniel", she was one of the two contestants who have been voted out from the latest season of the "American Idol". Naima Adebapo also was ousted during the double elimination March 31 (April 1, Philippines) episode of the show. Paul McDonald joined them in the bottom 3 but was saved.

On a lighter note, since Megia and Adebapo both made it this far in the competition, they will be on tour with the rest of the Top 11 finalists this Summer.

Noypi's notes:

I admit I just lose one reason to watch the show. I'm a fan of Thia eh.

To Philippine viewers, "pasensya na" with this spoiler. I know our "live telecast" will still be aired in 6 hours pero around 10am actually dapat. Lol.

Heart Evangelista backs out from 'Temptation Island' due to sexy scenes?

Kapuso actress Heart Evangelista has recently been chosen as part of the lead cast of the upcoming remake of the 1980's sexy-comedy flick "Temptation Island". But did she find the scenes too sexy that she has to back out?

Although she was indeed hesitant to do the film at first because of the sexy scenes, the "Dwarfina" star denied the rumor saying, "No backing out. I don't know where that came from... I'm very excited for this movie. And ayun, masaya itong movie na ito."

Aside from Heart, the other lead roles have been given to Solenn Heussaff, Marian Rivera, and Lovi Poe.

The original movie which starred four beauty contest title-holders; Azenith Briones (Miss Photogenic, Mutya ng Pilipinas 1975), Jennifer Cortez (Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 1978), Bambi Arambulo (Miss Maja Pilipinas 1977) and Dina Bonnevie (1st Runner-up, Miss Magnolia 1979, has the plot below courtesy of wikipedia:

The film focuses on four young ladies from different social backgrounds and each for their own various reasons, enlists in the fictional "Miss Manila Sunshine Beauty Pageant".

The first of which is Dina (Bonnevie), a college student who entered the contest in order to earn independence from her family. Next is spoiled, rich socialite, Suzanne (Cortez), whose every whim is attended to by her maid, Maria (Sun), learned of the contest when fliers dropped from a helicopter interrupts her sunbathing at the family pool and out of sheer vanity decided to sign up. Thirdly, Bambi (Arambulo), while planning her 18th birthday party, when she and her mother argue over the budget, since her once rich family cannot afford the grand debut, Bambi is forced to settle for a much simpler party. But during their argument, Bambi falls on her birthday cake; when sees the pageant's TV spot, her frustrations over her current situation inspires her to join. Rounding up the group is Azenith (Briones) a con-artist who plans to rig the contest by using her and her boyfriend's sexuality to influence the judges into voting for her.

The ladies later became the finalists for the competition. En route to the evening gown competition, the ship they boarded catches fire, and the passengers scramble to evacuate. The four women, Maria, Joshua (the gay pageant coordinator played by Jonas Sebastian) and his boyfriend Ricardo (Ricky Belmonte), Umberto (one of the ship's waiters played by Domingo Sabado) and Alfredo (played by Alfie Anido) land on a desert island.

The 24 year-old actress was on her way home after work at around 2 a.m. when she was hit by another car.

This is not the first time Michelle got herself into a car accident.

In a recent interview, Michelle revealed she was involved in a “massive car wreck” minutes before she auditioned for “Glee.”

"For my second audition I got into a massive car wreck, left my crashed car in the street and ran into the audition with cuts and glass in my hair,” she said. “And then on the final audition, I had the worst neck ache from the car accident," the actress added.

Thia Megia, in the bottom three! Was she saved? (Video)

It seemed like the good comments Thia Megia received from the judges for her 'Motown' performance were not enough to at least spare the youngest contestant to be in the 'bottom three' or the 3 finalists with the least number of votes in the world famous American Idol Season 10.

For the first time, 16 year-old Filipino American Thia Megia was among the three who got the lowest scores in the nationwide voting. She was with Casey Abrams and Stefano Langone who was given heavy comments by the Judges during the 'performance night', yesterday. On the other hand, Thia's was among the favorite performances during that night. She delivered an upbeat rendition of the classic hit "Heatwave" and received commendations from the three judges for taking a risk and coming out of her shell. And thus, it was a surprise to see her land in the 'bottom three'.

But was Thia saved?

Yes. Luckily, she was. And also Stefano making Casey perform for the judges' one-time 'save power'. And yes, the judges did use the 'power' on Casey, adding a pressure on the Top 11 finalists to impress everyone with their performances next week since 2 of them are sure to go home!

Check out the video of Thia Megia's "Heatwave" performance HERE.

After receiving heavy criticisms last week with a ballad performance, the youngest contestant in American Idol Season 10, 16 year-old (Yes, she just turned 16.) Filipino-American Thia Megia redeems herself with her performance of "Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandellas during the "Motown Night" episode of the talent search on March 24.

Her upbeat rendition of the classic hit made the judges commend her for taking a risk and coming out of her shell.

Judge Jennifer Lopez said, "Okay! Now I feel like we're scratching the surface a little bit with you right there. It was great to see you let loose like that. Wow! Who knew? I didn't and I wasn't sure but now that we're going there. I need you to dig even deeper each week. You know you're 16 years old and I don't expect you to have the live experience in the world to bring what you need to bring to the lyrics but part of performing is acting and you have to bring that every time, so always make sure you connect with the lyrics so you can bring even more because I just see, now I know, you got it in you."

Randy Jackson agreed on J.Lo's comment saying, "The reason you're here, cause we knew you had it in you right? And the public is definitely resounding with that because you've been here every week. This new thing is a good thing because I know this has been tough for you the last couple of weeks. But I got to say it's about taking chances. You took a chance tonight and you didn't sing a really safe ballad although I still feel you can dig deeper and you can do more with it. Take more vocal chances. You can really sing and I want you to believe and I'm happy to see you move up a notch tonight with something different, congrats on that. Take some chances, continue! push!"

Meanwhile, Steven Tyler had a very short but sweet critique.

"You've taken a step out, I love it. Just great! I'm good. I'm good with it."

As the results of the online and phone voting come out tonight, another contestant is going home. He will be let to perform and the judges will decide whether they will save the contestant him or not.

Amazing guest performances (as usual) also await viewers tonight. :D

Lloyd Zaragoza sings with Anne Curtis in Greenwich Presscon

Remember the tattooed hunk in the funny commercial series of Greenwich Pizza? His name is Lloyd Zaragoza.

Lloyd Zaragoza shirtless

Noypi recently came across a Youtube video of him and Anne Curtis doing a duet of "The Closer I Get To You" during a Greenwich presscon held late last month.

He could try a career in singing since he got the voice eh and he got the looks naman. Sometimes, the two (voice and looks) come together to sell a good number of albums. :D

Check out Lloyd Zaragoza and Anne Curtis' duet below courtesy of Youtube/PEP:



How about Anne? She wishes to create an album as well.

Uhmmmmm... She could since things are already "high-tech" these days. It should not be live though like the vid above. Lol.

During the "One Kapamilya Go" concert in Japan last year, hunk actor Sam Milby and international singer Marie Digby had a special moment together when they played a 'paper dance' game where Sam had to carry Marie.

Sam previously admitted he dated the American acoustic singer, but the distance took a toll on them.

Noypi's Notes:

Marie is in the country right now and is expected to do some shows in the Kapamilya network where Sam is a talent. Hmmmmm... Noypi wonders if the two would give their 'romance' another chance. They look good together eh! :D
