Us Girls' August Awards 2011 nominees bared

Studio 23's "Us Girls" has revealed the nominees for its 3rd August Awards (2011) and among the nominees are controversial stars like Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, Heart Evangelista and more.

You've heard the news about Heart Evangelista vs Marian Rivera over Dingdong Dantes, but for Us Girls' August Awards 2011 to be presented next month, they're not competing against each other, as all three of them are nominated in different categories.

Dingdong Dantes is nominated as Most Fashionable Male alongside John Lloyd Cruz, Gerald Anderson, Sam Milby, Jericho Rosales, Jake Cuenca and some other, while girlfriend Marian Rivera is nominated again as Face of the Year along with Bea Alonzo, Angelica Panganiban, Maja Salvador, Jennylyn Mercado and more.

It's already Marian's 2nd consecutive year to get nominated in the said category. During the 2010 August Awards, she got nominated as Face of the Year but lost to Kim Chiu and Kristine Hermosa who tied for the award.

Heart Evangelista meanwhile gets a nod as Most Fashionable Female. Also nominated are Kim Chiu, Rhian Ramos, Georgina Wilson, Isabelle Daza, etc.

Guns and Roses pilot episode beats Amaya in nationwide ratings

"Guns and Roses" starring Robin Padilla and Bea Alonzo had a successful pilot last night, June 6, by posting a rating of 29.9% beating its rival show, the Marian Rivera-epicserye "Amaya", based on the data provided by Kantar Meda / TNS.

It ranked 2nd over-all, placing behind "100 Days To Heaven" with 32.9% rating.

ABS-CBN's rating figures last Monday were so much lower than last week, especially when compared with last Friday's ratings when "Mara Clara" aired its finale and scored its highest rating ever, with 43.4%.

With its new timeslot, there was a big drop on the ratings of "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin".

Angel Locsin, Marian Rivera give way to Sam Pinto on FHM 100 Sexiest Women 2011 Poll, May 20 tally

Sam Pinto grabs the lead on FHM Philippines 100 Sexiest Women 2011 Poll based on its latest voting tally as of Friday, May 20.

Marian Rivera, who occupied the top spot during the last 3 weeks, dropped to 3rd this week and taking over is not Angel Locsin, who stays on the 2nd spot, but it's last week's 3rd placer Sam Pinto.

If Sam Pinto ends up with FHM Sexiest Woman 2011 title, it's definitely a major major achievement to beat Angel, Marian and even Cristine Reyes. Last year, Sam made her FHM Poll debut at #32.

That's actually the only major change in the poll since last week, as the remaining ladies in the Top 10 are still the same, with Valerie Concepcion climbing 2 slots, overtaking Jennylyn Mercado and Ellen Adarna.

Marian Rivera binatokan si Manny Pacquiao sa Party Pilipinas, May 15 episode

Marian Rivera and Manny Pacquiao "batok" incident on Party Pilipinas last Sunday, May 15, is still being talked about as people continue to debate if it was just okay or not for Marian Rivera to do it to Manny Pacquiao.

Manny Pacquiao who won the fight against Sugar Shane Mosley last May 8 was given a homecoming party on GMA 7's Sunday musical variety show "Party Pilipinas" where he performed 6 songs (3 English and 3 Tagalog) along with Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs and Lito Camo.

After his performances, Marian Rivera, Manny's co-star in "Show Me Da Manny", made a surprise appearance and there the "batok" incident happened.

Here's a screenshot of what happened:

Marian really hit Manny hard, but for close friends, I think it wasn't a big deal.

But for some viewers, they think it was kinda not proper to do it on live national TV, most especially to a Congressman and Pound-for-Pound King like Manny Pacquiao, who's well-respected and being idolized by many people around the world.

Here's a video of Manny Pacquiao's guesting on Party Pilipinas last Sunday, May 15, with Marian Rivera's "batok" incident happening on the last part:

What's your opinion on this Marian Rivera-Manny Pacquiao "batok" issue?
