Nora Aunor – Philippine Superstar

Actor & Actress
Nora Aunor

Nora Aunor

Nora Aunor was a great favourite of mine since I was a little girl. She is not one of those standard drop-dead gorgeous Filipina actresses but she has charisma. She has proven time and again how good an actress she is. She won loads of awards. They say that looking at her eyes alone, you can see what the drama was about – very expressive eyes. My personal favourite amongst her films was Tatlong Taon Walang Diyos (Three Godless Years). It was about a Filipina having fallen inlove with her Japanese captor during WWII.

The versatile actress was first known as the singer with the golden voice. Just love her voice. We used to buy her LP (Long playing) albums. hehehe

Nora Aunor bags int’l critic’s award at the 69th Venice film fest

Superstar Nora Aunor bagged a coveted critic’s award Friday for her performance in Brillante Mendoza’s “Thy Womb.” The prize was awarded a day before the end of the 69th Venice International Film Festival.

Aunor, whose other critically-acclaimed starer “Himala” is also being exhibited in the festival under the “Venice Classics” category, won the Bisato d’Oro Award from the Premio Della Critica Indipendiente, an independent film critics’ group in Italy. Bisato d’Oro translates to Golden Eel in English.

The Premio Della Critica Indipendiente is not affiliated with the Venice film festival’s award giving body, but Aunor’s recognition is seen as a vote of confidence, and bolstered the Pinay actress’ chance at bagging the Volpi Cup, the Venice film fest’s best actress prize at the awarding rites on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

In “Thy Womb” (Filipino title: Sinapupunan), Aunor portrayed the role of a barren Badjao midwife who puts a nubile young woman in her husband’s bed. The film by award winning director Brillante Mendoza was lauded by foreign critics, and is in the running for the Il Leone d’Oro, or the Golden Bear, the highest prize to be awarded in the festival.

Along with director Brillante Mendoza, Aunor was joined in Venice by castmates Lovi Poe and Mercedes Cabral.

Poe posted a picture on her twitter account congratulating the Superstar for winning the award. Poe’s gown was also voted ‘most beautiful’ in the festival. All four received a five-minute standing ovation after the red carpet premiere of the film. — LBG, GMA News

The Undoing of Lindsay Lohan

Actor & Actress

I sometimes look at Lindsay and feel really sorry for her.  I have a soft spot for this girl.  I absolutely loved her in that film Parent Trap.  She was absolutely brilliant playing a twin, one with a British accent.

The world was hers for a little while.  She made films after films and everyone said that she is a good actress, she will go far.  But suddenly it all went wrong.  She fell in love … with a woman.  Before you know it she was behaving out of control, like a spoilt child.  It only made even worst when Samantha Ronson, dumped Lindsay unceremoniously.

Then everything really went out of control.  She was taking drugs, alcohol, thieving, having sex with who’s who of Hollywood, etc.

It was because she was such a good actress that work has not completely dried up, unfortunately for Lindsay, she is a shadow of her old self.  She doesn’t even look like her old self.  The cute little girl, has not grown into a stunning woman, but rather into a woman with rubber lips, who looks like she could do a good scrubbing and a long, long bath.

Lindsay has been in and out of rehab and detention centre.

She lost a list of men she slept with, which was not only embarrassing for her but for the men as well.  She has become a Hollywood bike.  So sad for a woman we all saw grow up before our eyes through movies she made.

She has been known to be careless and charged with thievery and non-payment of items.

Today, 23 June 2014, it was all over the news that Lindsay run amok in one of London posh store, Selfridge.  Apparently, for some unfathomable reasons, Lindsay streak among racks of clothes with not a stitch of clothing in her person,  She was totally naked which embarrass the shoppers but not Lindsay, who giggled throughout.

Poor Lindsay, what will become of you?  You are a train wreck!
