Maricel Soriano Snubs MMFF 2011 Best Actress Award

Maricel Soriano Snubs MMFF 2011 Best Actress Award

Despite its disqualification, Regal Films' entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) "Yesterday Today Tomorrow" brings Maricel Soriano her another Best Actress trophy making her the second actress - next to Superstar Nora Aunor - to received the most number of Best Actress awards in MMFF's 37th year history.

But where is Maria to accept the award?

She and the rest of the movie's cast intentionally snubbed the awards night held on December 28 at the Resorts World Manila in Pasay City to show their sympathy to the movie's producer Mother Lily Monteverde who is really disappointed in the MMFF committee's decision to disqualify the movie exactly one day before the awards ceremony.

The family drama movie, as previously reported, was disqualified by the MMFF Executive Committee (Execom) from four major award categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and the Gatpuno Villegas Cultural awards.

The committee ruled that Regal submitted a totally different script and cast as previously approved by the committee compared to the finished product now seen in cinemas.

Tyrone Perez Dead, Committed Suicide (Updated)

Tyrone Perez Dead, Committed Suicide (Updated)

Tyrone Perez (or Tyron Perez) is dead. He was 26.

The Kapamilya actor was found lifeless at the back seat of a black Toyota Altis parked along the service road of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) in Barangay Ugong, Valenzuela on Thursday night, December 29.

According to Senior Superintendent Wilben Mayor of Valenzuela police department, Perez died of a gunshot wound on the right side of his head from a caliber .22 firearm found beside his body.

Although, Perez' gunshot might be self-inflicted, authorities still does not discount the possibility that there is a foul play involved in the actor's death.

However, GMA-7 news reporter Mark Salazar confirmed on his twitter account (@MarkSalazarGMA7) that the actor has indeed committed suicide.

Salazar tweeted:

Young actor Tyrone Perez committed suicide on December 29, 2011. He’s dead. Please pray for his family and friends.”

Perez entered showbiz through the defunct GMA-7 reality-based artista search "Starstruck" in 2003. He also used to be one of German Moreno's co-hosts in Kapuso weekend late night show "Walang Tulugan with the Mastershowman".

Perez, married to a non-showbiz flight attendant, starred in several sexy films like "Pipo: Ang Batang Pro" and "Twilight Dancers".

In 2010, Perez transferred to ABS-CBN and became a member of the station's talent arm Star Magic. He then appeared in several Kapamilya shows like "Momay", "Imortal", Mula Sa Puso" and "Maalaala Mo Kaya".


Just a thought:

Tyrone just like AJ was a Kapamilya actor with the same last name, same year of death, same place where they died (inside a vehicle) and same last TV project - Maaalaala Mo Kaya.

How To Look Like Megan Fox!!!

Here are Megan's beauty tips to stay beautiful!

Her secrets are now revealed. So, what are you waiting for??

Start making use of them NOW!!!

1. My beauty philosophy is ‘less is more’, so my daily routine consists of washing my face thoroughly and moisturising with La Roche-Posay sunscreen. I drink lots of water and think it’s important to get lots of sleep.

2. I always wanted to be blonde when I was little, like Barbie and Pamela Anderson, but it would really damage my hair. It was exotic to me, as my entire family has dark hair. If I did it, I would go white- blonde- really platinum.

3. I always carry Armani Code fragrance as it reminds me of growing up in Florida, as well as Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers and a hand sanitiser. I also keep a lot of moisturisers with me when I travel as the climate changes can dry out my skin.

4. My definition of beauty is simplicity, elegance and sensuality. Ava Gardner is my beauty icon. I think that when a woman is in harmony with herself and remains true to her values, she will glow naturally. Fememininity doesn’t depend on what you wear or how you look. It’s an attitude.

5. Sport gives me positive energy so I exercise everyday with my trainer, Harley Pasternak. Each circuit is 45 minutes long and I lift weights but never do cardio.

6. I eat five times a day and don’t diet, but I do eat healthily- mostly raw and vegan food, with no dairy. It’s not always possible with travel and filming, but I try. I also take supplements like silica and fish oil religiously.

7. I try to keep my make-up fresh, clean and pretty on the red carpet. My signature look is red lipstick worn with plain eyes, so I apply a light foundation, then on my cheeks I use blush or sometimes the same lipstick that I’m wearing. Giorgio Armani Rouge d’Armani Lipstick in 400 contrasts well with my pale complexion and dark hair.

8. Even when I’m working I don’t like wearing too much make-up, but when I’m on my own I go bare-faced as I like to give my skin a rest.

9. For a date night I go for beachy, natural bed hair. Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray gives my hair that wavy, thick texture.

 

10. I have to wash my face every 12 hours and then moisturise. I only take showers as I don’t like sitting in bath water. After my shower I moisturise with Grapeseed Oil from Whole foods. It’s a great moisturiser and lighter than olive oil.
