Kahit malalaki ang hita... Aktres walang kiyemeng nag-mini-skirt

In its March issue, YES! Magazine features the first batch of 25 most powerful showbiz luminaries in order of importance. Kabilang sa listahan si Joey de Leon, ngunit sa halip na flattered ang TV host, he maintains his position that, “You don’t equate power with respect.”

Bagama’t for all intents and purposes ay wala namang ibig ipakahulugan ang naturang babasahin, Tito Joey sees beyond one’s posses­sion of power. Hindi raw kasi ito ang pangkala­hatang batayan sa pagkatao ng isang tao who should be measured in terms of his deeds.

Let’s face it, para sa marami, the term “power” or “powerful” can be viewed from a different, much less negative perspective. And Tito Joey certainly has a point.

Katatapos lang ng promo rounds ng isang thirty-something actress para sa kanyang eight-week TV series, tinuhog na rin niya ang anunsiyong may bago siyang CD.

Pero ang mukhang mas napansin sa kanyang pagpo-promote ay ang kanyang kasuotan, mini skirt na mabuti-buti sana kung legs ang kanyang ipinagbabanduhan at hindi ‘logs!’ Yes, troso kung troso na nagmistula ang kanyang mga hita’t binti kahit kulay labanos pa ang mga ito.

Nagkataon pa na ang mga nakasabay niya sa rounds ay mga bagets na aktres who have shapelier legs na mas may karapatang mag-mini skirt.

Da who ang aktres na walang iniwan sa patatim ang kanyang from pelvis down? Isyogo na lang natin siya sa neymsung na Cherry Shoes.

Patikim pa lang ni Josh Santana ang kanyang mall tour sa April 4 sa SM Baliwag onto bigger surprises as Polyeast Records releases his CD album titled Eres Tu. Pamilyar ang Spanish classic na ito na sumikat noong ’70s, revived by more than 100 foreign artists. But Josh takes pride in being the only local balladeer to have done a pop version of it.

Kabilang din sa kanyang 10-track album ay isa pang Spanish classic na Historia de un Amor na inawit din nina Luis Miguel at Julio Iglesias, Selena’s Dreaming of You, Gloria Estefan’s Don’t Wanna Lose You Now, Rihanna’s I Hate That I Love You. Nakapaloob din dito ang tatlong original Tagalog songs with Latin flair. Ang Eres Mio, Kahit Minsan Lang at Magpakailanman. Never to be outdone is Josh’s own composition, ang Estar Con­tigo (To Be With You) with English and Spanish lyrics.

I would say this with genuine sincerity. Walang ibang sign natin ang may K na kumanta ng Spanish or Filipino-Hispanic songs but Josh alone. Idagdag pa ang kanyang mestizo looks that all the more en­hance his Latino packaging. Habang pinakiking­gan ko siyang kumanta, I felt I was in some Spanish-speak­ing country, en la villa con muy hombre hermoso.
