Park Min-young star of Korea’s hit TV show, Hometown Legends and her breakout hit, I am Sam, has been the buzz in Korea and around the Asian region who loves Koreanovelas. Park Min-young has been revealed in leaked photos that she had undergone plastic surgery before becoming a star and the result was her more rounded eyes beauty now. Take a look at her before and after photo.

Could this be a sign that Judy Ann Santos star power has been diminished by her “System’s Loss TV Commercials?” Her supposed first major tv appearance and a formal announcement of her engagement to Ryan Agoncillo in Sharon Cuneta’s Sunday show, Sharon, only made it to no.7 in the ratings. The Ryan Agoncillo, Judy Ann Santos appearance in Sharon has been regularly plugged in almost all the tv shows of ABS-CBN from morning till night, in short, it was heavily promoted, but despite it, it only landed a dismal 7th.

Maria Mercedes Manhilot-Cantu a.k.a. Ched Manhilot, the controversial sister of Cesar Montano airs her side of the story after being sued for Libel by sister-in-law Sunshine Cruz over alleged malicious and hateful emails reportedly being spread through Friendster by Ched Manhilot against her.

Ched Manhilot is based in Italy and is amrried to an Italian. Here’s an email by Ched Manhilot regarding the Sunshne Cruz emails issue:

“I had my qualms about Shine before, and I have my reasons for this. I was just being a protective ate to Cesar then. But when they got married, I tried my best to be her ate as well.

“I have said a lot of things to her personally, both good and bad. I cannot remember specifically if I said those things she claims I said in e-mails. I will have to check my files.

“Shine and I have our misunderstandings. Let’s leave it at that. But for sure, I’m not the cause of their separation issue. That is an old song that the two revive from time to time.

“Re the libel case, I’ll wait for the summons. Until then, I will go on with my life here in Italy. I don’t see any reason for me to be intimidated. After all, I am an Italian citizen.

“My life does not rely on other people’s perception of me. But for Cesar, that is a different story. I hope Sunshine took that into consideration before she did this sort of thing.”

Also in The Buzz last Sunday, Ched Manhilot, has these to say:

“I don’t see any reason to take it seriously after all. Kasi I’m an Italian citizen, the Philippine court has no jurisdiction over me.”

“Huwag niyang sabihin na nine years na kaming magkakaaway o nine years nagtitiis sa akin. That’s a big lie! Nag-start yung rift namin talaga, yung mother ko pinalayas niya doon sa bahay nila. Parang she was not happy to see my mother around.”

About niece Angela Montano: “Nag-away sila, five years ago. They were yelling to each other. Dinala ko si Angela sa Italy. Three months dito sa Italy. She couldn’t stay here anymore so
she had to go back there. Pagbalik niya doon, Tita, wala na yung kwarto ko doon, sabi niyang
ganun. In-invade na raw ng stepmother [Sunshine] niya. Yun isa sa mga sama ng loob ko. Pero hindi ko ipinakita sa kanya.”

These, among other revelations from Ched Manhilot.

Dear readers, apologies for the downtime in the single posts pages. Turned out no one could access any single posts from anywhere. It was due to experimentation with this blog’s theme/template and how to protect its contents primarily. I am experimenting on how to protect the content because so many blogs in the blogosphere are ripping off images and articles from this blog, with no credits at all. Even some very popular Filipino(pinay) blog has ripped off my images about Farina/Gerald, among others, and worst, they have emblazoned it with their URL/blog name, the nerve. I have published that in 2006, imagine, while their blog started only late last year. And it claims to be no.1..i don’t think so. Maybe because of so many traffic tricks. I believe its only PEP and Starmometer who can beat this site.lol..Some people kasi don’t wait for a site to fully load because of the images, and my traffic counter/topblogs code is at the very last to load.

For the record, i get an average 2k a day unique visitors to as much as 11k in a single day, and i must say a very good quality in traffic, even when visits are minimal because 90% came from Search Engines..Early this month, one of my stories were even featured in Yahoo Buzz, and landed at no.1…

Because of so many thieves/blogs posting sometimes WORD FOR WORD like Joemer and Asian News, it is hurting the traffic and worst Google even indexes the scrapers first.. So i hope you help me by reporting blogs/forums who also copy from me without credits. For the record, in my footer, i have a COPYRIGHT notice..and it’s not only a decoration..I will act accordingly. Thank you
