It's really great that Hollywood has embraced hunky mature actors, and they abound in the TV show Desperate Housewives! I started watching this show during their first season then I drifted apart. I am now watching their eighth season and I am really enjoying the show! I love all the twists and turns and how the girls are doing their best to protect each other. I also love the eye candy in them - all mature yet yummy!
Charles Mesure is one of the hunky eye candies I love in this show! I love the accent of this guy and I love the way he flirts with Vanessa Williams! Funny thing is I haven't seen him shirtless yet in the show! (Insert sad face here.)
The Crime Investigation channel has a very interesting show right now entitled The Ghost Inside My Child! The first episode I saw featured the screen writer of Gone With the Wind, Sidney Howard. Apparently, his spirit 'entered' that of a kid from somewhere in America, and the kid kept insisting that he be brought to Hollywood and that he knew something about how Hollywood works. And he was just a kid, about 5-6 years old!! Intriguing right! I strongly suggest you watch an episode of that show!
One of the most interesting TV shows I have ever seen!

It's another sad day for the world of comedy as one of their best just passed away. This generation knows Joan Rivers more for her biting comments during red carpet events like the Oscars, but for me who's a bit older and well, gay, she was a gay icon who guested members of the LGBT community in her talk shows when it was not yet very cool to show gay people on American TV.
Most importantly, I loved the way she wrote and was a wonderful comedy writer whose books demanded that women take care of themselves and stay beautiful even when they age. Her books were not Pulitzer-Prize winners but if you wanted a good laugh, just read her books and you'll actually hear her barking her humor into your ears!
I actually was not able to watch the movie and theater version of Rock of Ages when it was shown here a few years ago. Maybe I was too busy but anyway, I caught the latter part of the movie today, while waiting for a tennis match, and lo and behold, I couldn't get my eyes off Diego Boneta!!
He's muy caliente!! Definitely hot hot hot!! The movie was definitely star-studded so that may be the reason why I did not notice him the first time. But, now I am a big fan of his already!
I read with sadness the news that Mark Gil passed away today. I will always associate him with that classic Mike de Leon film Batch '81, arguably one of the best Filipino movies ever made!
I don't know if he won any awards for that role but it's one of the best performances of any Filipino actor ever! I rarely feel fear or a sense of uneasiness when I watch a Pinoy movie but I remember having this sense of dread while watching this movie, fearing for the lives and safety of the neophytes led by Mark Gil.
You have to remember that the movie was released during the height of the Marcos dictatorship and it was not difficult to associate the sadism and the brutality in the movie with what was happening in Philippine society at that particular time.
Anyway, his place in Filipino cinema is assured and his legacy continues as one of his daughters is a fine actress herself.
