OMG! I fine it hard to categorize...i was actually nosebleed...

It’s a jungle out there for Americans trying to unload real estate in the midst of the global economic crisis–and Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan is no exception. This Mean Girls (that’s the last noteworthy movie she was cast in.) star is so desperate to sell her $1.2 million apartment that she’s willing to part with the two-bedroom, 40th floor pad for just $200,000. River 2 River Realty is offering up the listing, which is located in The Atelier Building on 42nd Street in NYC. Oddly enough, other apartments in the same building are on the market for a much higher price. The apartment reportedly still has photos of Lindsay in it as potential buyers walk through for viewing. According to NBC New York, Lindsay’s place boasts two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open chef’s kitchen, and unobstructed views of the Statue of Liberty.

School is back in session at East High!

The fourth installment of Disney’s High School Musical movie franchise will once again be making its world premiere on Disney Channel in 2010. Disney will not be launching the movie first in theaters, as it did for High School Musical 3, which premiered last October 2008, racking up over $250 million at the worldwide box office. The fourth installment will also feature a new cast of characters, which would make a theatrical launch a risky proposition if current stars Zac Effron and Vanessa Hudgens don't come on board in some form. The High School Musical franchise started life on Disney Channel in January, 2006, but has since grown into a worldwide phenomenon. High School Musical 2 premiered on the network in August, 2007, and was at the time the most-watched program in cable television history.

On Tuesday, Disney announced a fourth installment of the "High School Musical" movie franchise. Although "HSM 3: Senior Year" was a big-screen blockbuster, the next film will air on cable TV. That's a good move by Disney, since the sequel will lack big name stars like Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens as box-office draws. What "HSM 4" won't lack are upbeat songs and group dance routines. The musical numbers will be interspersed throughout the plot, which Disney describes as "a classic love triangle set against the crosstown school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights." So who will make up the new class?Tiara Gold (Jemma McKenzie-Brown), Jimmie Zara (Matt Prokop), and Donnie Dion (Justin Martin) were introduced in "HSM 3," but they haven't been confirmed for the next flick. Regardless, I'm sure Disney has a stable of young hotties who will be able to step in and fill their shoes!

And don't rule out cameo appearances by the series' original stars. Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, and Corbin Bleu have all moved on, but if their solo projects fail they might just return to their old stomping grounds.

Who will replace Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron in "HSM 4"?

This post has no relation to my blog but I want to share it with you guys especially we, girls. I know many of us likes chicken wings but I think from now on we must avoid eating it.


Got this e-mail from my boss. (This is the full article in the e-mail)

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...!


A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an
operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with a dark
colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery
but she was terribly wrong. A relapse occurred just a few months later.
Distressed, she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.

During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled
her. He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she
replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits.

You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food.

Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at
the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest
concentration of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying effects
on the body as it accelerates growth. It has an even more dangerous
effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb. Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

People, who receive this email, please forward it to your friends and
loved ones. I am sure no one wants to see him or her suffer!

For the second time, I was awarded with the same award called Ms. Friendship Award and I'm so grateful to my dearest new found friend in the Internet. Thanks Ate Ghie for this award. I really love it girl. Hope to meet you someday.

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

In the early morning of February 8, after attending a pre-Grammy party honoring Clive Davis, Brown allegedly bit and hit Rihanna , who was hospitalized for the injuries. Brown turned himself in to police and made bail later that day.
A photo apparently of a bruised Rihanna taken shortly after the alleged assault leaked onto the Internet on February 19.

Weeks after their much publicized fight, Rihanna and Chris Brown have reconciled and are once again romantically involved. They reportedly spent the weekend at Sean "Diddy" Combs' home on Star Island, Miami, and they are currently back in LA together.

After reportedly reuniting with Rihanna last week, Chris Brown is set to appear in court today (March 5) regarding his alleged assault of his singer girlfriend on February 8.


The question is....What's the real reason why she bit her girlfriend????

Unluckily-in-love actress DREW BARRYMORE is blaming her new tongue piercing for her lack of man action.
The film beauty underwent the painful decorative procedure after splitting from her ex-boyfriend, comedy actor JUSTIN LONG, last summer.
And although Drew’s delighted with her bejewelled mouth organ, she fears potential suitors are turned off by it.
She revealed on ELLEN DEGENERES’ chatshow: “I have had it for nine months, I got it and I have been single ever since. I don’t know what the deal is with that.
“I luckily did it for myself. I had always wanted to get one.”
The Charlie’s Angels star admitted she couldn’t eat or drink for weeks after the piercing.
She added: “After it was done I was like, ‘Oh my God why wouldn’t people do this? It doesn’t hurt at all,’ and the guy said, ‘What I didn’t tell you is that for the next two weeks it is going to be a little uncomfortable.’
“Two hours later I couldn’t eat or drink for two weeks, it was a great diet in a weird way, a sick and sadistic diet and after that it was fine.”


How about you guys?Would you like to have your tounge pierced too and put a ring on it?Well, you might be unluckily-in-love too so beware!!!===)))

Thank you so much Ate Niko for giving me this award. I'm so touch, really! Despite the fact that I'm always disturbing you from work to answer all my queries about blogging, you still manage to give me this Friendship Award (laughs). Blogging for the first time really sucks me but you are still there to support me. This is also my First Award ever since I started to blog last January. And I'm so happy to find special friend like you in this whole wide world. Thanks for the friendship. I'll always cherish it wherever I go, whatever I maybe.

"Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing."

If Marian was nervous about posing in a swimsuit for the first time on the cover of Cosmopolitan, the nerves didn’t show. Marian Rivera is in the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine donning a two-piece blue bikini. Marian Rivera is seen on location in bikini. This is the first time Cosmo has done a cover shoot outdoors. Marian Rivera has been chosen for the Cosmo cover spread because of her fun, fearless and confident attitude, a perfect example of today’s women.

Is she sexy or hot????

Reports said that this too where exclusively dating since their Kamandag days, but nobody knows what the real score between them. During their interview, they both deny it or lets say "No comment" as almost all celebrity uses as their expression. Well, whatever the real score beteween them, let's just respect and wait for them to clarrify things.
