Proud to be Pinoy? Jessica Sanchez in American Idol's Top 2
Maybe it's just hype that Jessica Sanchez is being dubbed as half Filipina, I would have been proud but Wikipedia says Jessica Sanchez is an American singer as she was born and raised in the USA. The only claim to fame for Filipinos is the fact that her mother is Filipino American born in Bataan. Well who knows really right? I guess she just desperately needed the votes of another billion or so country that wouldn't have voted for her had she been truly American
She looks very Filipino though, quite the Sarah Geronimo look-a-like

KC Montero is Cassandra Monteroid

KC Montero Is The Next Bb Gandanghari?
Has KC Montero turned into the next Bb Gandanghari right after the conversion of the infamous Rustom Padilla?
KC Montero has done some outlandish stuff in his hey-day. I'm not sure if he's still in his hey-day but well... he still has his own radio show and a lot of artists do think he is interesting, so there must be something to it.
Just recently apparently he lost a bet, as a consequence he has to dress up as Cassandra Monteroid. The bet involved none other than worldwide teen pop star Justin Bieber. The boy behind the annoyingly sensationalized song "Baby" and "One Time."
Somebody must have relayed his tweet which went "Lets start a campaign for Justin Bieber to follow me. I will come to work in drag if he does." Last July 5 - it happened and so KC Montero had to dress up like this all the following week. He's even prettier than ex-partner Geneva Cruz

The Angelina Jolie Doll Was Made By A Filipino!

Isn't just the proudest thing you've ever heard? A doll that has the face of Angelina Jolie, admired the world over was made by a Filipino artist. Now that is just brilliant and something to be proud of. I read about the doll first on Reuters and thought, "Wow that's nice."
But as I continued to look it up, the name Noel Cruz jumped up and then I began reading about him being Filipino. I think that's awesome.
The doll doesn't have Angelina's tattoos but you can have it added for a fee if you're interested in buying, the doll also has a couple of wigs. It was sold on eBay for more than three thousand dollars and rumor has it that another one sold for two thousand pounds. Not bad at all.
Noel Cruz is famous though for these kinds of dolls. He has done dolls of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Tobey Maguire, Daniel Craig, Christopher Reeve, Keira Knightley, Kirsten Dunst, Nicole Kidman, Celine Dion, Annie Lennox, Julie Andrews, Vivien Leigh and many more.
He's just brilliant I tell you!
Imagine how small those dolls are (2½ inch by 2 inch) and to be able to get to that much detail and precision is just not something you learn. That has got to be a talent you're born with.

Noel Cruz's work can be found here. Filipinos all over the world can be so proud. Some of his other work includes:
Kirsten Dunst - this is a very nice replica as well, just look at her facial features

There are guy dolls too. Check out Daniel Craig
