Angel Locsin looked like a high fashion beauty in the August 2008 issue of Preview Magazine that Popular Tokyo based fashion blogger/editor/etc.. Martin Webb wrote in the chica blog, Tokyo Numero, about his recent Philippine Fabulousness visit and how he picked up a copy of Preview in the airport.

Filipina “it” girls …

Apparently Philippine Tatler　editors have annointed
Georgina Wilson　as the “next big thing” …

While my spies tell me that she’s not exactly a style icon,
I must confess to having been quite taken with Angel Locsin,
whose smoulders away on the cover of Manila style magazine Preview,
which I picked up while waiting for my flight back to Narita.

O di ba, Georgina Wilson is beautiful but would look like plain with Caucasians while Angel Locsin is a true Filipina beauty and would be attractive to even fahsion editors. Mind you Mr. Webb has worked with the best in the Fashion World. What is ironic is Anne Curtis, he called as one “MTV starlet Anne Curtis” lol..

In the tradition of the Anne Curtis armpits post, let me present to you, the underarms of Alicia Keys, lol. In fairness, despite Alicia Keys being black, her armpits are not ewww black. By the way, Alicia Keys will be back in Manila after her very successful concert in Manila years ago. Alicia Keys Live in Manila was held last night, August 5 at the open grounds of the SM Mall of Asia Complex (moved inside the Convention Comlex because of rain). The SM Mall of Asia Complex is where the MTV Music Summit was held. Alicia Keys Live in Manila was brought to you by MTV Philippines. Meanwhile, Alicia Keys and Jack White have recorded the theme song for the new James Bond film”Quantum of Solace.” The R&B singer and White Stripes frontman Jack White  have teamed up for “Another Way to Die,” the first duet to be chosen as a Bond theme.

Before the Philippines, Alicia Keys came from successful concerts in Jakarta, Indonesia; Hongkong, and Singapore. Alicia Keys has rolled out a number of concert dates in North America too.

Bam Margera appeared in MTV’s Viva La Bam and Bam’s Unholy Union, Jackass movies, and Haggard, which he co-wrote and directed. After a series of controversies from drug addiction to his wife threatening separation, Bam Margera is at the center of a sex tape scandal, with video scandal footage of Bam Margera reportedly set to be released on a pay-per-view site.

Bam Margera is allegedly shown in the tape performing sex acts with Lindsay Hughes, the fiancee of New York radio host Gregg “Opie” Hughes of Opie and Anthony fame.

Reports said that the tape has been obtained by a former employee of Gregg Hughes, who is now considering taking legal action in a bid to stop the film being published on the Internet. “They’re doing the nasty — and I mean nasty. Hughes is taking legal action to prevent its distribution. “Apparently, he’s so distraught, he’s banned the name ‘Bam’ from being mentioned on the (radio) show.”
