Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao and pop singer Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls are set to star in a Filipino movie, titled “Wapakman”.
Pacquiao, nicknamed Pacman, is one of the world’s top boxer and highest paid sportsman; while Nicole, the lead singer for PCD is actually a half Filipina… so, it actually makes sense for the duo to work together in a Filipino production.

Korean pop group Wonder Girls has released the English version of their hit song “Nobody” in preparation for their American debut.
The girls will perform as opening act in the next two months for Jonas Brothers tour and is scheduled to release their first English album later on…
Gosh, they should just sing in Korean, which sounds so much better. One or two of them did well, but overall the English is crappy; and there’s a few notes that are seriously off, probably due to their uneasiness with the language as well.
Seriously, just let them sing in Korean in Jonas’ concert… let the girls show what they’ve got instead of pushing too hard with their English. If the studio recording isn’t half good, imagine what will happen when it’s live.
Pop legend Michael Jackson died on Thursday. He collapsed at his home in LA and pronounced dead at 2:26 pm local time. He died of cardiac arrest, with suspicion of overdosed on his prescription in some news reports.
I grew up listening to his songs, and despite all the controversies surrounding his life, Michael will always be the King of Pop in my heart… he will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace Michael.

Movie trailer of “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”, starring Channing Tatum, Rachel Nichols, Marlon Wayans, Sienna Miller, Ray Park and Lee Byung-hun etc.
I used to watch the cartoon series when I was a kid. I’m actually a bit confused with all those matrix-like and futuristic techno soldiers; can’t remember the cartoon being as technology advanced as what was shown in the video…
American-Korean actor Daniel Henney is starring in CBS upcoming prime time series Three Rivers, a medical drama focuses on organ transplantation in the top transplant hospital in America.
Alex O’Loughlin takes the lead as the top surgeon, while Henney “a womanizing surgical resident who’s broken as many hearts as he’s replaced.”

Henney made his name in S.Korea as a top model and established actor; he recently gained wide notice in the west as Agent Zero in Hollywood hit “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”… and Three Rivers is set to boost his career even further.
Korean pop star Rain and his former employee JYP Entertainment have made an appeal to overturn the Hawaiian court verdict in which they were ordered to pay USD8.1 million to a Honolulu based promoter for cancelling a concert in June 2007.
Their legal team is sending in evidences that the concert venue in Hawaii was unsafe for performance; it’s said that the equipments were not properly installed and the stage was in danger of collapsing. Sounds like a reasonable reason to cancel the show; but I wonder why they didn’t show those ‘evidences’ at the first place.
Meanwhile, Rain and JYPE are facing another lawsuit in South Korea. StarM, the Korean promoter for Rain’s world tour has filed a lawsuit seeking 4.5 billion Korean Won (USD3.4 million) of compensation from the party for cancelling 16 out of the 35 scheduled concerts (including the Hawaiian one) for the world tour.
Most of the US concerts were cancelled mainly because of a trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Rain Corporation which runs a Beatles tribute show (known as RAIN) across the States. StarM claimed that they weren’t informed on time by JYPE about the lawsuit which led to the concert cancellations and financial damages.
Ironically JYPE has always been blaming the incapability of StarM for causing all the messes. Unfortunately for Rain, despite his claims that he was not directly involved with the cancellations, will have to bear with the possible consequences once again.
And it’s not the end of the story; some promoters from US and Canada could be seeking legal action, particularly the one from Los Angeles where the concert was cancelled just hours before the show. Those peeps are probably still thinking on how to hand the legal papers to Rain to bring him to court.
Lesson of the day… be careful with who you are associated with.
