Spotlight on Mandy Moore
July 31, 2007 by cd · 5 Comments
Amanda “Mandy” Leigh Moore (born April 10, 1984) is an American pop singer, songwriter and actress. She grew up in Florida and came to fame as a teenager in the early 2000s, after the release of her teen-oriented pop albums So Real, I Wanna Be with You, Mandy Moore, and Coverage. Moore has branched out into a film career, starring in 2002’s A Walk to Remember and later appearing in the lead roles of other movies also aimed at teenage audiences. Two of her later films, American Dreamz and Saved!, were satires in which Moore portrayed darker characters than in her previous roles. Moore’s private life, including her relationships with tennis player Andy Roddick and actors Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff, has been much discussed in the media. Moore’s fifth album, Wild Hope, was released in 2007.

Wendy Valdez is Maxim’s Covergirl for August
July 31, 2007 by cd · 99 Comments
Good karma nga ba ang nararanasan ngayon ni Wendy Valdez dahil pagkatapos mag-premiere ang first starring role niya na Margarita sa ABS CBN kahapon, siya naman ang covergirl ng Maxim magazine for the month of August.
Siguro ang pagpapakatotoo niya sa Pinoy Big Brother house ang nagbigay sa kanya ng good karma. I am not a converted Wendy hater to Wendy fanatic but i can see some possibilities that we can act “mabait” and we can choose to be true to ourself. And Wendy chose not to act mabait obviously that’s why televiewers hate her.
