Charice Pempengco!
This is a good way to start the year–with good news and on a positive note. Cheers to Charisse and all those who may not have won the contests they join but don’t lose heart. In the end, there’s nothing wrong with not finishing first. Just keep walking!
Little Big Star runner-up guesting on Ellen’s show
Funfare by Ricky LoAfter seeing Quentin Tarantino in Barong Tagalog when he showed up at the Golden Globe Awards nominations (to announce the nominees in the acting categories) last week, another pleasant surprise awaits Filipinos in the US when they tune in to Ellen DeGeneres’ self-titled show today, Dec. 18.
Ellen’s special guest is none other than our very own Charice Pempengco who finished third runner-up on ABS-CBN’s Little Big Star search last year. See what they’ve been saying about also-rans turning out to be, well, “more noticed” than the winners usually are.
What’s interesting is that it was Ellen herself who sought out Charice and insisted that she guest on her show.
Whatchathink?!
