Pamela Anderson's cocaine confession

2009-11-19T01:16:00.001-08:00

Pamela Anderson has confessed to taking cocaine.

The former "Baywatch" actress experimented with the Class A drug when she was younger but insists she didn't enjoy the effects the illegal substance had on her.

Anderson, 42, said in an interview with British talk show host Jeremy Kyle which aired Wednesday: "Well I've tried it and I don't like it. I'm completely hyper and it actually doesn't work for me. I've dabbled in things."

The blonde star - who has 2 sons, Brandon, 12, and 11-year-old Dylan, from her failed marriage to Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee - admits she still drinks on occasions and can still "get crazy" when she wants to.

She explained: "I haven't had a drink in a month, I don't drink. Champagne - sometimes I'll drink it and I'll get a little crazy, doing backflips and, you know, wrestling people on the floor, but I'm taking a break right now, my friend calls it 'detox so you can retox.'"

Anderson is currently living in a trailer with her sons while her Malibu home is being renovated, and she admits the troubled development has turned into such a nightmare she is going to sell the property.

She said: "I'm going to sell it. I hate it. People commit suicide over constructions. Relationships break down over constructions and I can see why. It rips your heart out."

The actress-and-TV star has spent millions of dollars renovating the house, including having solid gold tiles put down around the pool and platinum tiles laid in other parts of the property, and is being sued by five building firms over unpaid bills.

Francis M., We Salute You!

2009-03-10T03:51:00.001-07:00

Ngayong tanghali lang, in-announce sa Eat Bulaga ang pagpanaw ng Master Rapper na si Francis Magalona. He was 44 years old.

Francis, Kiko to his close friends, was diagnosed with leukemia in August last year. He informed his friends and fans about his condition in the noontime show, but appealed to them, "I don't want a media circus. I want privacy with my family."

His wishes were respected, pero sinundan pa rin ng mga tao -- most especially by his fans -- ang what seemed to be, at the time, his road to recovery.

Glad to be home

Sometime in October, Francis M. was able to return sa Eat Bulaga to perform with Ely Buendia who was then recently discharged from the hospital. Afterwards, he said: "Ang feeling ko, last time I stepped there was August 4, you know it's been a long journey -- sometimes sad, sometimes painful, sometimes happy, and hopeful, and now, to step actually in the studio, grab on the microphone, perform, see all the people -- I'm very happy, I'm glad to be home."

Then, Francis says that he's getting by with prayers--"The Lord, I always pray to him, my children and family, and all the people who have been praying for me -- my followers, supporters, of course, Eat Bulaga family. They've been with me throughout this journey, and I'm still undergoing treatment. In December I'll do my third chemotherapy treatment for the year. This is all part of maintenance program."

During all this, the Master Rapper was still very vocal about his gratitude for his Eat Bulaga family. "I'd like to thank, of course Mr. Tony Tuviera, the TAPE staff, of course, Eat Bulaga, Tito, Vic and Joey, [those] who have donated their effort and time to do these fundraisers, sina Richard Gomez, Bagets group, sina ate V, my doctors at the Medical City, nurses, all of them thank you very much. And of course, I would also like to thank Senator Richard Gordon, for helping me sa blood ko sa Red Cross, si tita Rosa Rosal, my sisters, the Bosconians, Ms. Malou Fagar, Allan K. If your name escapes me right now, you know who you are, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you much."

Francis had a breakthrough sa kanyang sakit, and he even scheduled a live chat with iGMA so he could get to spend some time with his fans online. But he had to cancel his appearance for another hospital trip.

Return to the hospital

Pia Arroyo-Magalona sent iGMA a text message to say so:
Monday, November 17, 2008 -- "Francis is very enthusiastic about gracing your live chat activity which we scheduled with you way in advance of Nov 26. Unfortunately, I think I will have to ask you to maybe postpone the event for now, while it's still a while away. He is in hospital again for tests to find out what is causing his almost-daily intermittent fevers."

Sa Showbiz Central, Francis was interviewed about his return to the hospital at ito ang sinabi niya: "Well, since my last chemotherapy session, I did one transfusion of apheresis platelets and then after that I've been having intermittent fever. So I've been having some chills and I decided to go to the doctor lately (last Friday, November 14). My doctor [however] flew to the States, [so] I saw another doctor, upon her recommendation. And then 'yun.

"All throughout, they had me tested, they wanted to pinpoint where it was coming from. They thought I had this kind of thing and this kind of thing. All results naman were good. I did a CT scan just recently a couple of nights ago, and it's okay. So right now, I'll be doing a bone marrow extraction, probably by Tuesday, and then I might do my third cycle for chemotherapy as part of the maintenance I have," kuwento ni Francis about the treatment he is receiving.

Last January, Francis posted his last public blog entry sa kanyang multiply site where he announced that he was preparing for his 4th Chemotherapy cycle.

At the time of his death, Francis had been working on a 8-single release that was supposed to come out as a full album later on. He was also working with fellow celebrities who had been diagnosed with life-threatening illness for a special project called "The Sickos".

Sa pagpanaw ni Francis M., he left behind his wife, Pia and their eight children.

Yes early today Francis Magalona succumbs to deadly cancer, I can't even load the page

MANILA, Philippines - Master rapper Francis Magalona, 44, passed away Friday.

Vic Sotto confirmed the news over GMA's noontime show Eat Bulaga and asked for a minute of prayer for the eternal repose of the singer-composer's soul.

Magalona's battle with leukemia was made public last year. In a public statement last April 14, he admitted he was battling with the malady.

A blood drive was subsequently announced for the singer.

The 44-year-old singer-composer told the Philippine Entertainment Portal last December 2008 that he survived a delicate medical condition days before he was dispatched from a hospital.

"Akala ko kasi magki-Christmas ako sa ospital, e, [I thought I would spend Christmas in the hospital] because I had a very, very, very close brush with death last December 4. I went into septic shock and it was a very scary moment," he said in an earlier interview.

It was announced last year that Magalona was scheduled for a bone marrow transplant.

"My doctor said I'm in remission right now after my third chemo cycle. So, my next move would be to do the bone marrow transplant and I'm very happy to announce that I was able to find a match. One of my sisters from the States we have the same tissue typing so she would be my donor," he added. - Amita O.

One of his first experiences with music, a memory he dearly keeps till now, is with the marching band at school where he played both drum and lyre.

In Manila, Laarni came face to face with more hardships and suffering.Without her family to turn to, she found a lot of friends who shared her interest and passion in singing. Through them, her knowledge in music was enhanced, boosting up her confidence to sing.

Her voice as her asset, Laarni found ways to send herself to school. To graduate from college would be the first step toward fulfilling her promise to her family. But when the opportunity for a showbiz career knocked, she chose to drop school for the meantime and give PinoyDreamAcademy a try.With PDA, she could find herself delivering her promise of achievements to her family earlier than she expected.

Notes on Bunny:

Once on her birthday, Bunny’s father took her to a shop where he told her to sing in front of the owner.Convinced that this young girl would be deprived of her future if she were not given the proper equipment, the store owner allowed Bunny’s dad to take a karaoke on credit.

Years later, with the karaoke fully-paid, Bunny is now a singing sensation in Dumaguete, winning local contests and being paid to sing at weddings and parties.

She doesn’t solely own the crown.Music is a passion that the family shares.Her first voice teacher was her father; her brother Jonathan taught her to play the guitar.Bunny showed so much promise at a very young age that her family pinned all their hopes on her.The let-down came when she got pregnant with her boyfriend. Both were 18 and students.

After all is said and done, Bunny and husband Chivas have been blessed with a cute baby boy who, at age three, already shows musical potential.

Will their PDA scholarship pave the way to the realization of these dreams?

Nephew of Juan Miguel Salvador, of the famous and well-respected Salvador clan, Iñaki took to the theater at age six like it was his playground.The stage was where he spent most of his summer days, performing with professional theater actors we could only admire from the audience booth.

Iñaki prefers to make it on his own through his innate talent rather than flaunt the famous name that he carries.That he has won lead roles by auditioning alongside other actors is an achievement that speaks of his talent.

Will the stage performer, accomplished as he is in the theater scene, find himself the lead role in a reality TV talent search?Will he be able to convey this talent to a wider and more diverse pop audience?

Notes on Apple:

Poverty forced her parents to give her away to assure her a brighter future.Even if the people they entrusted their daughter to were not the conventional couple, the parents proved they made the right decision.

Thanks to her adoptive family, which she calls “very big, very happy, and very gay,” Apple grew up to be bubbly and talented, with a bright, rose-scented path laid out before her towards a dream that not only she owns but is shared by her whole family as well.

Will Apple manage to bring home the dream through PDA?Or should the question be, will Apple manage to bring the whole family to where the dream awaits?

Biggest frustration:Basketball

Greatest Dream: Have my own family and be successful in my own craft

Song of my life:Happy

Quote Me: “I know that at the end of this journey, there is a light waiting for me.”

Notes on Christian:

Once in a taxi, he was almost molested because the offender thought he was a girl. At the bank, they usually mistake him for a child.Way back in school, he was always the odd guy.

‘Forever be a boy’ could be Christian’s tag line for life.A 25-year-old man inside a teenage boy’s body, he has received more insults in his life than anyone deserves.For those who have taken time to learn about his condition, it’s easy to understand that it’s the result of growth hormone deficiency, a syndrome that has afflicted him since birth.

Despite – and perhaps because of – his condition and everything he has gone through, Christian remains strong, his conviction held fast, and his view of the world and of himself still cheerful. “I know I’m beautiful inside and out, and I know bad words can’t let me down.”

It helps that he has a dream, and holds on to it, and he knows that the Academy will get him there, one way or another.

Musical instrument I can play:Guitar (basic chords only)

Musical instrument I’d like to learn:Piano, drums

Greatest achievement:My two greatest achievements: when I finished college and when I was chosen as a finalist in PDA

Biggest frustration: I want to be a model but I know I’ll never be one because I’m too small

Greatest Dream:To be a professional singer

Song of my life:On The Side Of Angels

Quote Me: “You should fight for your life even thru trials… we need to grow, explore and move on.”

Notes on Zhel:

Probably her lola had great dreams for Zhel, thus the early morning trainings at 5:00 when she was too young to even appreciate what it could mean for her later in life.All she knew was that people would go crazy over her whenever she was given the microphone and made to sing in public.

She was able to use this talent as she grew up, gaining popularity in her hometown as she reaped first prizes in local singing contests.Now that she has moved on to a grander scale, it’s just too bad that her lola can’t watch and hear her sing anymore.

But what her lola can’t hear, perhaps her father can.He was never there to listen to her in her every singing contest; he left the family when she was six years old and was never heard from again until she was 20, then disappeared again.Maybe, inside the Academy, her voice will be able to reach out to her father and make him come home again.

Interests (other than singing): Cooking, dancing

Favorite Singers: David Cook, Alex Band, The Calling, Whitney Houston

Musical influences: My wife, Jovannie Malunda

Discovering my voice: I have always loved singing but my wife discovered my ability to sing when I joined a male pageant and didn’t have anything to show for the talent night. She and her brother said I should sing. They trained me. I won the talent competition.

First song I ever sang: ABC

Musical instruments I can play: None

Musical instruments I’d like to learn: Guitar

Greatest achievement: I graduated from college.

Biggest failure: When I didn’t finish my studies on time.

Greatest Dream: To be financially stable, be able to support my own family and have our own house.

Songs of my life: I’ll Be, Iris, Next In Line

Quote Me: “My family is the reason I still live.”

Notes on Chivas:

The result of carelessness at a young age sometimes compel people to grow up overnight and embrace responsibility. This is what happened to Chivas who, at 18, found himself the father of an adorable baby boy with his girlfriend, and now wife, Bunny. This is the same woman who gave him the gift of music and taught him to sing.

The retired general’s son never really planned to follow his father’s footsteps, but neither did he plan on making a life in the music industry. But though music, Chivas learned to open up his heart to dream and reach for greater scales.

Now that Chivas and Bunny are both inside the Academy, they have to treat each other both as partners and competition. If it’s for their future as family, they would sing their way through it, hand in hand.

Quote Me: “With my imperfection, I’m being true to myself.”

Notes on Bea:

Born a princess, everything that Bea could ever want is just within her reach. Until she started to wish for something else, that is, to be part of a world outside her own. A world where only the tough and the talented survive. All the more reasons for Bea to want it. She knows she can be tough; she believes she has the talent. So she has set herself up to face every challenge because she wants to prove that even in this other world she can be a princess.

Bea is not all alone, though, with the handful of competent mentors and a band of fellow dreamers, one of whom happens to be the special man in her life. Someone she can sing, learn and build her dream world with.

At one look, Cris makes an immediate impression of someone coming from a lavish upbringing. Though she grew up having all things she wanted, she is more at home with an ordinary lifestyle.

She temporarily turned her back on interior designing - a career she worked hard for and is proud of – to pursue her passion for music.

Not the run-of-the-mill karaoke-goer who belts out everytime they see a mic, Cris doesn’t just sing. She is also into guitar and piano.Her first piece on the guitar?The intricate Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

Will her stay at PinoyDreamAcademy prove to be her stairway to fame?

Jun Ross Dio of Pinoy Dream Academy

2008-07-19T07:12:00.001-07:00

The Stylist’s Son

Full Name: JUN ROSS DIO

Age: 25

Birthdate: 31 August

Place of Birth: Quezon City

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 135 lbs.

Racial Descent: Japanese

Civil Status: Single

Educ. Attainment: B.S. Nursing (3^rd year)

School Last Attended: JP Siosion College

Interests (other than singing): Sports, fishing

Favorite Band: Boyz II Men

Musical influences: Mike Pillora, guitarist and co-vocalist of the group Asin. He is a distant lolo.

Discovering my voice: My parents just wanted to hear me sing Lupang Hinirang the right way. It all started from there.

First song I ever sang: 10 Little Indians

Musical instruments I can play: Guitar, percussion box

Musican instruments I’d like to learn: Piano

Greatest achievement: Pinoy Dream Academy

Biggest frustration: That I had to stop schooling.

Greatest Dream: To be able to return the gratefulness of my parents to me mapaligaya ko man lang sila in all ways

Song of my life: The Warrior Is A Child

Quote Me: “Lahat gagawin ko para para mapatunayan sa parents ko na deserving akong maging anak nila. Kakayanin kong lumipad para sa kanila.”

Notes on Ross:

If Ross had a choice, he would rather be a good son than a great singer. Inside the Academy, he is trying to be both – working toward his dream so he could offer it to his parents. His family has taken too many blows, this is his time to try recoup all the blessings.

Forced to drop from college to give way for the medication of his brother, Ross had to fit into a more mature role in the family when they eventually lost his sibling followed by his dad’s debilitating fever arthritis. Rather than let depression in, Ross and his parents have turned their sights to the light at the end of the tunnel.

That light could prove to be Ross’ music. And to think it all started when Mom and Dad used to make him sing Lupang Hinirang in elementary just because they wanted to hear him do it properly. Well, it all has to start from something as simple. Even for a descendant of guitarist/co-vocalist of the legendary Asin.

Song of my life: Angels Brought Me Here

Quote Me: “I’d sing until my last breath… Kahit man lang sa kanta ko, mapangiti ko sila.”

Notes on Bugoy:

Bugoy only recently discovered that he had a stage-ready singing voice, and only accidentally.

Coming from an impoverished family in a far-flung area in Camarines Sur, the hard-working farmer’s son went into university with the dream of earning a degree. He payed his tuition through scholarships and earned his pocket money working as janitor, dish washer and other odd jobs.

It must have been a habit for Bugoy to sing while doing menial jobs. But back in the farm where only the cows and the birds could hear him, his voice went unappreciated. It took a friend, who heard him singing while cleaning with a mop, to make Bugoy realize that he could actually carry a tune. Winning school competitions soon emboldened him to dream some more and try out for PDA.

Look where he is now. Pursuing his dream of becoming a singer. Wherever this takes him, Bugoy will has packed enough prayers in his suitcase to see him through. And he has yet another dream… to meet someone he could fall in love with and call his girlfriend. “Para hindi na ako paghinalaang bading.”

Michelle Sheng Belmonte in Pinoy Dream Academy

Greatest Dream:Find success in my singing career and give my family a more comfortable life

Songs of my life: When You Believe, I Believe I Can Fly, Bituing Walang Ningning

Quote Me: “You gotta be tough. You gotta do what you gotta do. Some people are more unfortunate than you, you should always keep your head up to the sky whatever situation you are in.”

Notes on Sheng:

Growing up, Sheng was very shy. Too shy that she wouldn’t even sing when she knew her parents were within hearing distance. When she was 12, during a charity show organized by her school, she was asked to sing on stage. To overcome her stage fright, she asked two other girls to sing with her. When came the chorus part where she had to belt out alone, the audience went all agog and cheered her on. This did nothing to Sheng’s nerves, she ended up crying when asked for an encore.

But that was several years ago. The hard facts of life have since forced Sheng to grow up and dig up all her resources to save her family from poverty. Knowing that her voice is her most useful asset, she did not hesitate to hone and use it to move ahead.

She has blossomed into a confident young woman eager to show her talent to the world. And if it’s the only way to free her family from poverty, she would resort to displaying her antics at any comedy bar to make people laugh.

Will we see Sheng sing and laugh until the PDA Season 2 finals?

HANSEN NICHOLS, Sen of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2

2008-07-19T07:09:00.001-07:00

The Cancer Survivor

Full Name:HANSEN NICHOLS

Age:24

Birthdate:21 October

Place of Birth:Burlingame, California, USA

Height:5’10”

Weight:155 lbs.

Racial Descent:Fil-am-Spanish-Irish

Civil Status:Single

Educ. Attainment:B.S. Economics

School Attended:University of San Francisco

Interests (other than singing):Dancing

Favorite Singer:Justin Timberlake

Musical Influences:Martin Nievera, Ariel Rivera, Gary V., Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Enrique Iglesias, Babyface, Jenner Mallari (a friend), Mom, and my Ate

Discovering my voice: I remember my Mom would sing at parties and family gatherings and everyone would watch her and it inspired me to want to sing.We discovered my talent before I was in Kindergarten.

First song I ever performed:If I remember correctly, If Your Not Here By My Side by Menudo.

Musical instruments I can play:When I was in elementary school I took violin lessons and learned how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.On Piano I learned how to play SwanLake.

Musical instruments I’d like to learn:I want to re-learn playing the piano or keyboard and the guitar.

Greatest Achievement:Being able to finish college despite doing (cancer) treatment at the same time

Biggest Failure:Not making it into PDA Season one

Greatest Dream:To be successful, rich and famous by way of the entertainment industry, and to go into business

Songs Of My Life:Angels Brought Me Here, This Is Now

Quote Me: “I’m very passionate about music and show business. I’m here at this level of the competition because I’m living my dream rather than just watching others life it. I have every reason to quit through rejection, but I forged on and made sacrifices, which is why I’m here today.”

Notes on Sen:

For PDA fans who have followed the show since Primer 1 Season 1, Hansen Nichols is not a new voice. He made it to the NCR leg but failed the final casting during kick-off. “I almost gave up,” he confesses. But like the true survivor that he is, he wouldn’t take failure seriously. If he could succeed a tough fight for a second chance at life, surely he could claim a better opportunity with PDA. So when Season 2 auditions came, Sen did not hesitate to join once more the long lines of hopefuls and subjected himself in front of the judges. This time he passed all stages of the competition for a scholarship slot.

US-grown and educated, Sen could have picked any job at any corporation anywhere in the world but he sacrificed stability to pursue a yet-uncertain career in music. But the dream that started way back when he was a small boy watching his mom sing at parties, and which burned alive in his heart even through a near-fatal brush with cancer, is too strong to ignore.

Will Sen survive all lessons, challenges and competitions at the Academy and graduate with flying colors?
