The beautiful and talented American actress Scarlett Johansson has been named "the sexiest woman alive" for the second time by Esquire, the men's lifestyle magazine said on October 7, 2013.

Here below is the news report from Reuters: 

"The Avengers" star was named sexiest woman in 2006 and is the only woman to have been given the title twice by the publication. The annual recipient of the title is chosen by Esquire editors.

Husky-voiced Johansson, who rose to prominence as a teenager in the 2001 cult film "Ghost World," stars in three films this fall. In "Don Jon" she plays the girlfriend of a pornography addict and in the sci-fi thriller "Under the Skin" she is a seductive extraterrestrial. She voices a man's computer companion in "Her."

"You know, I gotta hustle," Johansson told the magazine of her busy work schedule. "I'm a 28-year-old woman in the movie business, right? Pretty soon the roles you're offered all become mothers. Then they just sort of stop."

Johansson said last month she was engaged to marry French journalist Romain Dauriac. Her previous marriage to actor Ryan Reynolds ended in 2011 after three years.

Last year's sexiest woman, according to Esquire, was American actress Mila Kunis. 

Barbadian pop singer Rihanna, British actress Kate Beckinsale and South African actress Charlize Theron have all been given the "sexiest" distinction by the magazine.

Advance happy birthday to Philippine actor, athlete and celebrity endorser Piolo Pascual, who is turning 36 years old this coming January 12, 2012.

A lot of readers of this blog emailed to say he's "one of the best-looking stars of Philippine entertainment", do you agree despite all the many new competition?

NEWS: Here's news from his home TV network ABS-CBN 2 to his fans or admirers, he reportedly will celebrate with you this coming January 14 on Sunday starting 4 pm afternoon at SM Skydome of SM North Edsa Mall in Edsa highway, Quezon City, Metro Manila.

Piolo Pascual is one of the most humble, sensible celebrities I have ever interviewed. He is a devout born-again Christian who told me he goes to church two times a week---for Bible study and for Sunday service. He wanted to be a pastor, and as a youth he had once dreamt of becoming a Catholic priest.

Happy Birthday in advance!









A lot of readers of this blog emailed to say he is one of the most goodlooking stars in Philippine entertainment, do you agree?

Piolo is no longer very young, but his wholesome and healthy lifestyle keeps him fit and youthful in looks. One of his secrets to youthfulness is discipline---the way he eats and regularly exercises like an athlete. A healthy lifestyle indeed makes people in general look better.

Beautiful women often have sad lives or "thin fates"?

There's an ancient Chinese proverb about it, 紅顏薄命, prounounced as "Hong yen pao ming" in Mandarin, also "Hong gan po mya" in the Hokkien or south Fujian dialect, it is better translated in Tagalog as "Ang magaganda ay maninipis na palad" or "The beautiful often have thin fates or fortunes".

Is this true? I heard this Chinese proverb from a friend of our late mother---who was noted for her beauty---during her funeral wake.

The Philippines' Showbiz Inside Report or "SIR" TV talk show reveals the other side of the Philippines most beautiful actresses and beauty queens Anne Curtis, Janine Tugonon and Pilar Pilapil on January 12, 2012.  I'm sure since this is popular TV on famous celebrities, their tales would focus more on the positive twists to any sad tribulations or crises?


Anne Curtis






Janine Tugonan






Pilar Pilapil









ABS-CBN's trending showbiz talk show "Showbiz Inside Report" will share this Saturday (January 12) the heartwarming life stories of Philippine Box-Office Queen Anne Curtis, Miss Universe 2012 1st runner up Janine Tugonon of the Philippines, and the Philippines' 1967 Miss Universe pageant candidate Pilar Pilapil.

In the exclusive one-on-one interviews of "SIR" hosts actress Janice de Belen, actress Carmina Villarroel, comedian and ex-politician Joey Marquez and comedian/host Ogie Diaz, Philippine TV viewers will discover the other side of three of the Southeast Asian country's most beautiful women---particularly their never-before-heard revelations about the biggest trials that put their strength and faith to test.

In times when they almost gave up on life's challenges, who or what kept them going? Watch  the heartwarming tales of Anne, Janine and Pilar in the showbiz talk show of ABS-CBN, “Showbiz Inside Report,” this Saturday, 2:30pm, after “It’s Showtime”, and I suggest you share or post your comments here in this blog?

Do you agree that many beautuful women have sad lives, or not fortunate fates?

Half-Spanish, half-Tagalog actress Marian Rivera of Cavite province, the Philippines is surely one of the most beautiful women in the world. Agree?

I had the privilege to have interviewed Marian Rivera in the past for a magazine cover story in March 2011 and found that Marian is disarmingly witty, humorous, candid and pragmatic in her personality---so she is beautiful not only physically. When GMA 7 interviewed me then, I said she's the most beautiful showbiz star of the Philippines.

Congratulations to this strong-willed and good-humored actress for gracing the covers of three popular Philippine magazines this January 2013---FHM, Women's Health and Star Studio. She is the hottest female star of GMA 7 television network and of Regal Films, both of the Philippines.

Her boyfriend is the award-winning and smart actor Dingdong Dantes, also of GMA 7.

Best wishes to Marian Rivera for her continued great success in 2013!
