Pizza Flavor of the Week: Pepperoni Ronaldhini
MANILA, Philippines - Cory Quirino came to Ilocos for a taste of bagnet pizza, and Jasmine Lennard goes to Hollywood for pepperoni. Dishing the juicy details about her textual and sexual relationship with hunky-yet-girly athlete Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008, Lennard divulges in a tell-all interview about Cristiano’s Skype dates with other girls as well, including reality bombshell Kim Kardashian. Lennard also clears Ronaldo from the gay rumors, confirming that his pepperoni pizza is “family size.” Sadly, it’s one pizza she did not appreciate. “Oh for God’s sake, let’s get this over with,” she said after the pepperoni fell short of devouring expectations.
Smithsonian Machismo Artifact of the Year: Zac Efron
Because Glee is so 2008 when High School Musical is so 2000-late, The Zac Efron-Vanessa Hudgens romance is the only surviving proof they once held the attention of ogling teens all throughout America. In an effort to reinstate that status and reaffirm his tarnished machismo (after that dancing and prancing, of course), Efron presented surfboards at the Teen Choice Awards, this year bearing a mustache and what appeared to be very masculine blue fingernail polish on two of his fingers.
Punch of the week: Rep. Pacquiao’s left jab
“Ing prafir purum.” That’s exactly where PacMan, now representative of Saranggani province, wants his fellow lawmakers to lash their criticisms and debate about the alleged crimes of ex-PGMA. “We are very much delayed by this,” Pacquiao said in Filipino, aiming a jab at the leftist congressmen throwing accusations to the Pampanga solon. Suggesting it be left to the Truth Commission to investigate, PacMan invited the warring camps of Dato Arroyo and JV Ejercito to a game of basketball after session. Both camps agreed to play ball, with JV praying Dato got the height gene from his mom.
Top Reason Why 3D Must Get the F Off: Step Up 3D
It’s not vertigo, it’s 3D. After the TV craze for 3D shows, then came the cinematic debut. Movie makers soon joined the 3D fad and before we all knew it, it’s wearing off. After presenting moviegoers with cheap 3D glasses for “enhanced viewing pleasure,” more producers joined the bandwagon to revolutionize entertainment. Step Up 3D promises the same, with its character swift and suave dance moves popping out of the screen as if they’re molded there. Or so we thought, before all those bad reviews came in. The movie is a disaster as some critics say, while others say it’s forgivable. We’d settle with the movie being good — if they can dance tinikling in 3D.
Top Reason Why 3D Must Stay the F On: Maria Ozawa on 3D
Save for the gay community, every red-blooded man on earth is excited about the launch of the latest in Japanese technology: 3D porn. Yep, porn’s never gonna be the same when this launches, and it’s not Japanese geishas that will be materializing full-frontal before the screen. Hollywood adult companies such as Hustler have expressed plans of doing an Avatar parody, in full 3D. Trying to veer from the gigantic sperm projectiles directly shot at the viewer, developers of the new technology are inclining towards immersion is the key, guaranteeing the viewing public that it will be as if they’re watching from a window. Now that’s awesome.
Super Ex-Girlfriend of the Month: Amanda Monti and her mighty hands
Geoffrey Jones wished he just gave in to the advances of his ex-girlfriend Amanda Monti one drunken party evening than be in his current stupor. Jones, 37, lost his left testicle that night when his enraged ex pulled it out of his pants and tried to swallow it. The testicle was handed back to its rightful owner moments later, from a friend telling Jones, “That’s yours.” Monti was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison, though in a letter to the court she clarified that she was “in no way a violent person.” Jones meanwhile has developed an extreme fear of kwek-kwek.

One Liner of the Week: “If women like it, it must be stupid.”
In its current issue, Entertainment Weekly released an article with the line “If women like it, it must be stupid.” which delves into women’s supposed predilection for all things stupid. This was met with much opposition, especially from women’s rights activists and plain readers, citing that Entertainment Weekly’s reader demographic is composed mostly of women. Having something that would piss off your target market would be a business no-no, and claiming that what your readers like is stupid means admitting you, as well, are stupid. Whatever the case is, at least Chuck Norris is happy no woman likes him. At least he gets to be smart.
