International celebrity Leah Dizon (French, Chinese, Filipina singer/model) | Photos/Hot Pics

Cute American citizen and international celebrity Leah Dizon, who first made it big in Japan as a gaijin tarento before conquering the world stage, is of French, Filipino and Chinese descent.

She has been active in show business from 2006 to 2010. Her career was sidetracked by her pregnancy/childbirth and eventual divorce to ex-husband Bun in 2010. The celebrity is said to be longing for a comeback, planning to revive her career in Japan.

She got married in October 2008, in what has been described by fans as a shotgun marriage as she was three months pregnant when she tied the knot. Here is how she slipped the news to the public (source, Japan Today): 

"I have important news to tell you. I have actually got married! I'm pregnant, too. My family and I are very happy. Now, I think they'll have a lot of difficulties and changes. Of course, it is a little scary. But also, I am interested and looking forward to beginning a new life.

— Leah Dizon, on her marriage and pregnancy

In August 2011, her commercials for Shonan Cosmetic Surgery Clinic were released. They were filmed in Manhattan, New York City (her current residence), which sparked rumors that she underwent physical surgery.

The American international celebrity (who has a mix of French, Filipino and Chinese blood) has released two studio albums (Communication!!! in 2008 and Destiny Line in 2007) and six singles "Fever" in 2006, “Softly”, "Koi Shiyō" (恋しよう♪) and "L・O・V・E U" in 2007, and "Love Paradox" and "Vanilla" in 2008. Her records have gained an international following.

Miss Dizon's vital statistics are posted in her Facebook fan page, which was created on November 2009. She lists Las Vegas, Nevada as her hometown. Her blood type is O. She stands at a height of 5 feet, 6 inches or 167 cms, pretty tall for someone of Asian origin. Her bra/breast/boob size is cup C. Her shoe size (in case, you want to give her a gift! after all, shoes are a girl's famed kryptonite) is 24 cms.

She is fluent in English and could speak a little Japanese. Leah says she spoke a bit of Tagalog (Philippine major dialect) when she was little.

Her hobbies include singing, dancing, shopping (again, retail therapy!), drawing, badminton and tennis. Her fave chowdowns are Pho (vietnamese soup noodles), McDonalds, Shabu-shabu and Yakiniku. She's a cross-cultural foodie!

Adorable Blogger Camie Juan (Non-Celebrity Beauty)

I came across adorable non-celebrity beauty Miss Camie Juan through Nuffnang Philippines, which had her as "featured blogger" for the month of August 2012.

Who is she? Here is how she describes herself in her blog (http://www.wild-spirit.net/):

“I'm Camie, a 22 year old fashion design student, who is in all honesty still lost about life in general. Every day I wake up feeling different, but I end it finding a piece of myself”.

Now if you connect such self-description to the photo above, don't you agree that she has real inner beauty to match her already gorgeous looks?

I must admit, I’m a real sucker for them free-spirited and artistic non-celebrity pretty girls! Especially if she digs The Rolling Stones (the greatest rock and roll band in the world, yeah!).  I wonder, what she thinks of Mick Jagger and the boys. But that’s another story.

Now unfortunately for those who may want her as girlfriend, the adorable blogger appears to be already hooked up. She even has a “smooching” photo of her and her guy in her blog (see below image).  Alas why are the good ones already taken (you may exclaim)?! LOL.

Well, for perennial members of the lonely hearts club, you can only glance and sigh from afar while you become active stalkers of her blog a.k.a. her online diary. Hahaha!

And she is an artist! Here are a few of her sketches (some are rendered using Photoshop). Just click on images to enlarge.

As for me, I wish Camie Juan the best in her life and career. She is living proof that we could find real beauties even among non-celebrity Filipinas. So that means, hope springs eternal for those who seek what some of us may have already found.  Rakenrol! :D

Former child star (now Pinay teen celebrity Empress Schuck) is formally a leading lady of Philippine movies with the release of horror flick "Guni-Guni" by Regal Films with equally stunning slim Filipina beauty Lovi Poe. The movie, as of this writing, is now showing in theaters nationwide.

Born on February 19, 1993 to a German father and Filipina mother as Empressita Karen Schuck, she was previously seen on GMA-7 shows (from 2000 to 2005) before she was acquired by ABS-CBN's Star Magic (2006 to present).

Here are photos of Empress Shuck sporting a new look (short haircut), self-shot and posted on Instagram. I don't know your opinion on this but I really think she looks like a younger version of Valerie Concepcion. 

This blog believes she will become one of the country's premiere thespians. After all, back in 2003, she won the Best Child Actress in the prestigious FAMAS Awards (the Philippine equivalent of the Oscars) for her first movie, "9 Mornings". In 2007, at the 33rd Metro Manila Film Festival, she was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in the sci-fi movie, "Resiklo".

In below images, she is cover girl for magazines Meg and Celebrity Living.

She has been seen in the following TV shows (partial list): Mundo Man ay Magunaw, E-Boy, Ikaw Ay Pag-Ibig, Wansapanataym: OMG, Oh My Ghost, Guns and Roses, 100 Days To Heaven, various Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) episodes.

Our featured Filipina teen actress has also starred in movies such as Dalaw, Working Girls, Sa 'Yo Lamang, Ang Darling Kong Aswang, BFF (Best Friends Forever), Pasang Krus, I'll Be There, Hilot, Magkaibigan, Shake, Rattle & Roll 8, Resiklo, Angels, Pacquiao: The Movie, and 9 Mornings. Her next movie is titled, Amoros, for Skylight Films and Star Cinema.

BTW, her celebrity tandem with Dino Imperial (also called DINOPRESS) is hot among fans. The said pair has posed as image models and product endorsers of clothing wear B.U.M.  (with fellow teen star Bea Binene) She poses for said brand in photo below.

Celebrity Tweets for DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo

The nation now mourns the untimely demise of Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jesse Robredo.

His body was found yesterday in the plane wreckage in the seas of Masbate.

The good secretary, according to testimonials not only from his colleagues in politics but from ordinary folks is a good man who epitomizes the true meaning and essence of public service.

Philippine celebrities, through Twitter, have expressed their condolences and sympathies to his family and to the Filipino people.

Here are the said celebrity tweets:

Jodi Sta. Maria

"Ipagdasal po natin si Sec Robredo at ang kanyang naiwang pamilya, pati narin ang dalawang nasawing piloto at kanilang mga pamilya"

Lucy Torres-Gomez

"R.I.P. Sec. Jesse. Heaven is your reward for a life well-lived. You will always be an inspiration to so many."

Bianca Gonzalez

"to honor men like him, we can only hope the more good hearted, true servants like sec. robredo be elected and appointed into office."

 Anne Curtis-Smith

"Condolence to the Robredo Family"

 Kris Aquino

"U were always 1 of Mom's favorite mayors because u exemplified simplicity in true public service. I am already imagining your spirited conversations w/ our Dad."

Do good and everything follows.  He lived a simple life so that others may simply live. The Philippines will be a great nation only if all public officials will be like the good secretary of DILG.

Philippine Showbiz Newscaster Gretchen Fullido | Photos

At present, Filipina Gretchen Fullido is newscaster of the entertainment (showbiz) segment of ABS-CBN's primetime news cast, TV Patrol.

I cannot argue against the station's choice. After all, she went to University of the Philippines - Diliman with a course on Film at Audio Visual Communications. Not only that, she has a voluptuous body with a well-endowed chest in a proportional curvy frame! In below photos, she poses in swimsuit while enjoying the surf, sand and sun in Boracay.

She is a self-confessed dog lover (see her Twitter account: #gretchenfullido) and avid swimmer (she was varsity in college, a member of the UP swimming team). Gretchen was also once part of the cheerleaders of said state university.

She attracted the attention of audiences through the Colgate talent search, "Ang Trip Kita", where she won as first runner-up. Miss Fullido was then recruited as part of ABS-CBN's "Star Magic" pool of talents, where she became a showbiz celebrity as sports newscaster of the ANC news channel, a reporter of the amateur league Philippine Basketball League, host of Dateline Philippines and radio program DZMM Sports Talk.

In video below, she reports (and actually tries!) pole-dancing in a segment for Studio 23. Check out 1:55, she's really athletic.
