Walk Like a Star with Converse Fall 2012 Collection

Walk Like a Star with Converse Fall 2012 Collection


Converse celebrates the changing season with new colors and modernized silhouettes as it unveils its Fall 2012 Collection. For the past years, Converse has successfully has evolved to be the shoe of choice of a wider audience, because of its iconic look and stylish comfort. It’s still the same, familiar kicks, reinvented and made new again to unleash the creative spirit of the consumer.

Living up to its reputation as, Converse remains true to its heritage and embraces its pioneering spirit in its pursuit of greatness.
Converse’s latest collection is a reflection of its never-say-die Americana character. The collection offers a diverse portfolio of footwear, including new takes on the classics - Jack Purcell, Pro Leather and Chuck Taylor. At the same time, a new line of Chuck Taylor All Star Boots Collection is set to add a renewed sophistication to its classic look to further stamp its mark in the streetwear scene.

Considered the oldest sneaker in history, the Converse Chucks is synonymous with cool, especially among the young. Expect a new, creative and spirited collection. It brings an optimistic mindset, relaxed and comfortable in your own skin. Converse’s latest collection of Chuck Taylor All Star Boots and Chuck Taylor Leather encompasses all markets, proving that youth is not an age, but an attitude. 

In the local scene, Converse’s boots line is not yet as easily recognizable as its iconic sneakers. However, heads will turn once one sees the collection’s sleek look and enhanced comfort and flexibility. The Chuck Taylor All Stars Boots Collection illustrates the extremes of the fashion and footwear spectrum – from the classic and iconic to grungy rebellion. The collection is a rugged yet sophisticated version of the classic Chuck Taylors, highlighted by pops of color or detail on a well loved silhouette, a signature style Converse has been known for – a platform for self-expression.

To encourage creativity, you can customize your pair by mixing-and-matching designs, choosing from different-colored shoelaces to complement the color of the boots. The collection comes in a variety of colors including black, chocolate, olive green, among others. Its rough exterior balances the light-weight feel, re-engineered and redesigned to bring more comfort, flexibility and traction. Perfect as casual footwear or long walks and hikes. And as with other classic Chucks, the boots come with the not-to-be-missed Chuck Taylor All Star ankle patch.

Another highlight from the latest Converse collection is the Chuck Taylor Leather Collection. Converse’s Chuck Taylors enduring silhouette gets revamped to give a bit of edge to the iconic shoe. A daring and confident move showing its willingness to challenge the status quo.

Converse has re-worked their classic Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers to unite creative spirits inspired by urban street culture. Unlike the classic Chuck Taylor sneakers, the collection is all-leather, dropping the canvas for a premium leather make-up. The Limited collection enhances the silhouette that we know and love with a leather upper, keeping its heritage alive with an electric personality. No need to hide your Chucks under your pants since the collection is perfect for any dressy occasion.



Also included in Converse’s latest collection are revitalized versions of the Jack Purcell and Pro Leather Collections. The Jack Purcell features leather, cotton and canvas portraying an image of classic, understated style. Its rugged style is finished off with a vulcanized outsole. The Pro-Leather Collection, on the other hand, reveals an updated version with bold colors in both suede and leather, with an instantly recognizable Star Chevron logo.

The diversity in Converse’s Fall 2012 Collection only shows that Converse is continually in search for advances and modern approaches to revolutionize the classic and iconic footwear and maintain its rich heritage and reputation as the leading shoe company in the world. Indeed, Converse shows no signs of slowing down.

John Estrada on A Beautiful Affair

Isa lamang si John Estrada sa maituturing na be­terano o mature na artista sa A Beautiful Affair na nagsimula nang umere kagabi sa Primetime Bida ng ABS-CBN. Bagaman at nakababata siya kina Jaime Fabregas, John Arcilla at Jim Pa­re­des, mas senior naman siya kina Janus del Pra­do, Meagan Young, Slater Young at Dimples Romana at ka-kontemporaryo nina Maritoni Fernandez at Ana Roces. Pero ‘di tulad ng mga nabanggit, bida siya at hindi suporta sa nagsimulang tele­serye na isang pagdiriwang ng ika-10 anibersaryo ng pagtatambal nina John Lloyd Cruz at Bea Alonzo.

Pinaka-malaking teleserye ni John ang A Beautiful Affair na isang kuwento ng pag-ibig sa pagitan ng tatlong taong susuungin ang isang malaking pagsubok sa kanilang relasyon.

Isang bagong pangalan ang director ng ABA, si Katski Flores na siyang writer ng unang teleser­ye nina John Lloyd at Bea na Kay Tagal Kitang Hi­nin­tay. Kasama rin siya sa bumuo ng kuwento at ngayon ay director na ng dalawang nagdiriwang ng kanilang anibersaryo. Hindi ito ang unang pagdidirek ni Katski Flores.

Siya ang director ng indie film na A Still Life nung 2007 na kung saan ay may cameo role si John Lloyd.

Sa presscon ng teleserye na ginanap isang araw bago ang pag-ere nito ay tinanong ang tatlo kung ano ang maituturing nilang most beautiful affair.

Sinabi ni John na pinaka-maganda na sa kanya ang kasalukuyang relasyon nila ng kanyang ginang na si Priscilla Mireilles. Bagaman at ayaw pangalanan ni JLC kung sino ang most beautiful affair niya, obvious na si Angelica Panganiban ito. Si Zanjoe Marudo naman ang most beautiful affair ni Bea pero hindi pa siya sigurado kung sila na nga ng aktor. “Sana nga siya na ang makatuluyan ko. Pero 25 years old pa lamang ako ngayon. I intend to marry pag 29 o 30 years old na ako. Masyado pang maaga para magsalita ng tapos. Ngayon lang ako nagdadalaga pero, sana siya na nga,” pagtatapat ni Bea.

John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo Show How to Choose Between Love and Loyalty in "A Beautiful Affair"

John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo Show How to Choose Between Love and Loyalty in "A Beautiful Affair"


Ten years after their successful debut on primetime television, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo reunite in a mature love story that tackles the dilemma of choosing between love and loyalty in A Beautiful Affair which premieres on October 29 on ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida.

Spicing up this sweeping romantic teleserye is actor John Estrada, who stars in his biggest drama series to date. The much-awaited series is one of the highlights of the tenth anniversary celebration of the most successful team of their generation.

Follow the love story of three people who will each face the toughest obstacles in a relationship and will be forced to make a choice between steadfast loyalty and passionate love.

Leon Riego (John Lloyd), a brilliant architect and Gen Saavedra (Bea), an heiress, first meet in Austria as two broken souls. Their mutual attraction will temporarily unburden them of their respective miseries – Leon from the guilt brought by the death of his adoptive mother, and Gen who is trying to move on from the betrayal of a former lover.

Together, they wind up spending the time of their lives by getting on a romantic escapade to Vienna and Salzburg. In each other’s pains they find strength, and in each other’s bitterness they find love.

Despite the undeniable attraction between them, they decide to part ways and fix their lives before choosing to love again.

They meet after a year but, to Leon’s surprise, Gen is already in a relationship with construction magnate Edward (John Estrada) who has been an important figure in his life since childhood and has helped him achieve his dream of becoming an architect.

How will Edward deal with the knowledge of Gen’s encounter with Leon in the past? Who between the two men will Gen really choose? Which will carry more weight for Leon – his love for Gen which he believes will mend his shattered soul or his loyalty to Edward brought by debt of gratitude?

A Beautiful Affair takes full circle with the return of the people who first brought John Lloyd and Bea’s love team to the small screen - now business unit head Laurenti Dyogi and now director Katrina Flores. Dyogi was the director of the love team’s first teleserye, the highly acclaimed and top-rating Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay, while Flores was the headwriter.

Part of the A Beautiful Affair cast are excellent actors Dimples Romana, John Arcilla, Jaime Fabregas, Maritoni Fernandez, Ana Roces, Janus del Prado, and Megan Young together with Jim Paredes and PBB Unlimited Big Winner Slater Young who will appear in their first-ever teleserye.

Watch out for the grand launch of A Beautiful Affair on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida on October 29. For updates on the program, visit www.abeautifulaffair.abs-cbn.com, like www.facebook.com/ABeautifulAffairPH or follow @OfficialABA on Twitter.

John Lloyd Cruz, inaming girlfriend niya si Angelica Panganiban

Hindi na nagpatumpik-tumpik pa ang aktor na si John Lloyd Cruz at inamin nito na nobya niya na nga si Angelica Panganiban. Inamin ito ng aktor nang kapanayamin siya ni Boy Abunda sa The Buzz kamakailan lang. Nang tanungin ni Boy kung ano ang estado ng relasyon ng aktor sa dalaga ay sinabi lamang nito ang katagang, “Yes we are,”. Ito ang direktang naging pahayag ni John Lloyd sa katanungan ng batikang host patungkol sa napapabalita nitong relasyon nito kay Angelica. Tumanggi naman ang aktor na magbigay pa ng ibang detalye patungkol sa kanilang relasyon ni Angelica Panganiban dahil mas gusto niya umano itong panatilihing pribado.

Ayon sa binata, mas higit pa umano sa kasiyahan ang nararamdaman nila ni Angelica sa ngayon. Ikinuwento naman ni John Lloyd Cruz na hindi nila inaashaan pareho ni Angelica Panganiban ang namuong relasyon sa pagitan nilang dalawa. Isang araw ay nagising na lamang daw ang binata at mayroon na siyang kakaibang naramdaman para sa nobya nitong aktres. Matagal na umanong magkaibigan ang dalawa ngunit ngayon lamang nila naramdaman ang espesyal na pagtitinginan sa isa’t-isa.

Nilinaw ni John Lloyd na hindi naman daw talaga nila itinanggi ni Angelica ang kung anumang namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa. Naniniwala ang aktor na may hangganan pa rin pagdating sa kung ano ang pwede nilang ibahagi sa publiko at sa media. Wala naman daw talagang dapat pagtaguan ang aktor at si Angelica Panganiban. Aminado si John Lloyd Cruz na hindi siya bukas pagdating sa mga taong nagtatanong ng mga detalye patungkol sa kanilang relasyon ng dalaga.

Balitang ginawan pa ni Angelica ng isang awitin ang kaniyang nobyo na maaari umanong ilabas sa darating na special brithday celebration ng dalaga sa kaniyang gag show. Bukod dito ay lumabas ang isang video kung saan nakitang malambing na nagkukuwentuhan ang magkasintahan at ibinahagi ang dahilan ng kanilang kasiyahan. Makikita rin dito ang paghalik ng aktor sa kamay ni Angelica Panganiban. Kasalukuyang may pelikulang pinagbibidahan ang magkasintahan na magsisilbing bahagi ng ika-20 anibersaryo ng Star Magic.

TAMBALANG JOHN LLOYD – BEA, MAGBABALIK-TELEBISYON SA ‘A BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR’

Sampung taon mula nang ilunsad ang kanilang love team sa telebisyon, muling paiibigin nina John Lloyd Cruz at Bea Alonzo ang sambayanan sa inaabangang romantic teleserye na A Beautiful Affair na magsisimula na sa Oktubre 29 sa ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.
Bilang isang engrandeng handog sa pagdiriwang ng ikasampung anibersaryo ng pinakamatagumpay na loveteam ng kanilang henerasyon, muling magtatambal sina John Lloyd at Bea kasama ang premyadong aktor na si John Estrada sa kanyang pinakamalaking role sa isang drama project sa telebisyon. 
Sundan ang kwento ng pag-ibig sa pagitan ng tatlong taong susuungin ang isang malaking pagsubok sa kanilang relasyon: Alin ba ang mas matibay na pundasyon—ang tapat na pagsasama o ang tunay na pagmamahal?
Unang magkakakilala ang arkitektong si Leon (John Lloyd) at ang herederang si Gen (Bea) sa Austria at agad na mahuhulog ang loob nila sa isa’t isa para takasan ang dala-dala nilang kasawian – si Leon mula sa kalungkutan ng pagkamatay ng kanyang kinagisnang ina, at si Gen sa pait ng pagtataksil ng dating karelasyon.
Doo’y lilibutin nila ang Vienna at Salzburg at pilit na hihilumin ang mga sugatang puso. Ngunit sa kabila ng hindi maitatangging pagtitinginan ng dalawa ay magdedesisyon silang maghiwalay ng landas at ayusin ang kanya-kanyang buhay bago umibig muli.
Muling pagtatagpuin ang kanilang landas makalipas ng isang taon ngunit mapapag-alaman ni Leon na kasintahan na ni Gen ang matagumpay na negosyanteng si Edward (John Estrada), ang taong tumulong sa kanya mula pagkabata at nagsanay sa kanya para maabot ang pangarap na maging arkitekto.
Paano tatanggapin ni Edward pag nalaman niyang may naging ugnayan sa nakaraan si Gen kay Leon? Sino ang talagang pipiliin ni Gen sa dalawa? Alin naman ang magiging mas matimbang para kay Leon – ang pag-ibig niya kay Gen na sa tingin niya’y makakapagbigay sa kanya ng tunay na kaligayahan o ang katapatan niya kay Edward dala ng utang na loob?
Maituturing na isang “full–circle project” ang A Beautiful Affair dahil sa muling pagsasama ng mga taong bumuo sa tambalang John Lloyd-Bea sa kanilang unang Kapamilya teleserye, ang top-rating na Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay – ang business unit head na si Laurenti Dyogi na dating direktor ng naturang serye, at ang direktor na si Katrina Flores na dati’y nagsilbing headwriter nito.
Binubuo rin ang cast ng A Beautiful Affair ng mahuhusay na artistang sina Dimples Romana, John Arcilla, Jaime Fabregas, Maritoni Fernandez, Ana Roces, Janus del Prado, at Megan Young kasama sina Jim Paredes at PBB Unlimited Big Winner Slater Young sa kanilang kauna-unahang teleserye.
Abangan ang pagsisimula ng kwento ng A Beautiful Affair sa ABS-CBN Primetime Bida ngayong Oktubre 29. Para sa updates ng programa, bisitahin angwww.abeautifulaffair.abs-cbn.com, i-like ang www.facebook.com/ABeautifulAffairPH, o sundan ang @OfficialABA sa Twitter.

Barbie Forteza, Joshua Dionisio wala ng komunikasyon sa isa’t-isa

Inamin ni Barbie Forteza na wala na silang komunikasyon ng kaniyang dating leading man na si Joshua Dionisio. Ito ay mapa-text man o mapa-Twitter. Kasalukuyang naka-leave si Joshua sa showbiz dahil ipinagpatuloy nito ang kaniyang pag-aaral. Huling nakasama ni Barbie ang binata sa afternoon romance-drama na Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin noong 2011. Paliwanag naman ni Barbie Forteza, wala na siyang oras para makapag-text o gumamit ng Twitter para kausapin si Joshua Dionisio dahil na rin sa kaniyang abalang trabaho. Kapag dumadating umano ang dalaga sa set ng kaniyang teleserye ay wala na siyang panahon para pumunta sa standby area.

Ayon kay Barbie, marahil ay abala rin si Joshua sa kaniyang pag-aaral lalo na at kasalukuyan itong nasa fourth year high school. Hindi naman daw nagkaroon ng pagkakataon si Joshua Dionisio na makapagpaalam kay Barbie Forteza sa panandalian nitong pag-alis sa showbiz. Hindi na raw nila ito masyadong pinag-usapan dahil hindi naman daw ito big deal para sa kanila. Aminado si Barbie na ayaw niyang magpaalam kay Joshua dahil gusto niya pa rin na bumalik ang binata sa showbiz matapos ang kaniyang pag-aaral.

Nasasayang din daw si Barbie Forteza sa mga naipundar ni Joshua Dionisio sa showbiz bilang isang artista. Naniniwala si Barbie na babalik din ang kaniyang leading man sa industriya kapag may pagkakataon. Ang kasalukuyang leading man ngayon ng dalaga sa kaniyang bagong teleserye ay si Derrick Monasterio. Hindi naman daw pinagkukumpara ni Barbie Forteza si Joshua Dionisio sa bago niyang kapareha  dahil hindi naman daw ito tama. Ang napansin lamang daw ng dalaga sa dalawang binata ay pareho itong makukulit.

Daniel Craig Plays His Best James Bond Role Ever in ‘Skyfall’

Daniel Craig Plays His Best James Bond Role Ever in ‘Skyfall’


Daniel Craig leads the cast of Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ “Skyfall,” his third film as James Bond 007. “Bond is actually remarkably difficult part to play, because he says very little, and the moment you make him say too much, it’s not Bond anymore,” says Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes.
 “He operates on instinct a lot of the time. He has his own inner demons and he doesn’t reveal them to other characters, and yet the audience needs to be aware of them, especially in this particular movie,” Mendes adds. “In `Skyfall,’ the audience has got to see him, in a sense, fall apart and put himself back together again, but none of the other characters see what’s really going on behind the curtain. Daniel’s done that, I think, brilliantly.”

It was Craig who invited his friend, Mendes, to direct “Skyfall.” “When we started talking about it, I felt a connection with someone who had exactly the same enthusiasm and respect for the Bond films that I did,” says Craig. “And, of course, I deeply respect Sam as a director. I said to him, ‘This is going to be a new experience for you – trust me, because I made two of them and it was a very new experience for me. Nothing can quite prepare you.’”

“Daniel’s one of the greatest actors that we’ve ever had,” says producer Barbara Broccoli. “He has inhabited the role of Bond and he’s pushed it in directions that one wouldn’t have thought possible. Starting with `Casino Royale’ and going into `Quantum of Solace,’ and certainly in this film, he really reveals Bond’s inner life in a way that we’ve never seen before, in a way that author Ian Fleming does in the books, where you really feel as if you understand the inner turmoil and complexity and conflicts. With this screenplay and with Sam, we’ve unearthed a lot of the emotion connected to Bond’s own past and mined the dramatic tension that stems from that.”




Broccoli explains that “Skyfall” explores the relationship between Bond and M (Judi Dench) – perhaps more than in any of the 22 previous films. “We wanted to really mine the relationship between Bond and M, because it is the most significant relationship he has in his life,” says the producer. “M is the only person who represents authority to him. You have two extraordinary actors, and we just thought – let’s go all the way. It’s worked extremely well. It’s a very emotional story.”

“Their relationship is based on mutual respect,” says Craig. “They both know that every time the chips are down, one of them will have to make a sacrifice – it’s difficult to have a touchy-feely relationship with someone under those circumstances. But at the same time – and Sam was very keen on this – Bond’s always had in the back of his mind that there’s a bit more. It’s something he never shows, but the connection is there – and I get a kick out of that as an actor, to play a life you can’t show.”

Bond audiences expect that a Bond film will deliver plenty of action, and off course, no actor had more stunts than Craig. Co-star Javier Bardem describes watching Craig take on the role: “There is some physicality to the role that you have to be prepared to do, but of course mine compared to Daniel’s was nothing. And he does the action scenes so easily – From the outside, watching him, I was thinking, ‘If I were you, I wouldn’t be doing that!’” Bardem laughs. “I mean, I did a little bit, but nothing in comparison to with what Daniel did.”

“Daniel’s an extremely hard working actor, probably the hardest working actor I’ve ever seen,” says producer Michael G. Wilson. “And it’s not only the mental preparation, but the physical preparation. He works out like a demon, like a professional athlete. He is really committed to the role, committed to being Bond.”

Broccoli adds, “Daniel contributes a great deal to designing the action and the fights in particular and he’s the one who really pulls it off, because he wants to do as much of it as he possibly can. We were in Turkey for the train sequence and I had my heart in my mouth the whole time; he and Ola Rapace were fighting on the roof of a moving train and the moves that they were doing were just heart stopping. Daniel’s the reason why the action works as well as it does because he sells it, he’s up there and I think audiences know that.”



Opening across the Philippines on October 31, “Skyfall” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Boy Abunda Offered Role in A Beautiful Affair

Television host Boy Abunda was supposed to be part of the upcoming ABS-CBN series “A Beautiful Affair.”

Abunda made the revelation on “The Buzz” on Sunday while he and co-host Charlene Gonzales were interviewing “A Beautiful Affair” lead stars Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz.

According to Abunda, it was director Laurenti Dyogi himself who offered him a role in the series.

“I was offered to be part of the “A Beautiful Affair.” In-offer po ako ni Direk Lauren. I was supposed to own an art gallery sa Vienna tapos nasunog and then Lloydie was supposed to come to me for love advice,” he shared.

Abunda, however, said he felt the role wasn't right for him.

“Sabi ko parang hindi ko yata gusto na masusunog ang art gallery. Gusto ko ang role kung ako ay lalabas sa siang teleserye, 'yung medyo bagay sa akin. Abogado sabi ko. What they did, they wrote another role. Lawyer naman, magbabasa ng will,” he said.

But when the award-winning television host learned that he will only be delivering four lines, he disagreed to do it.

“There was a scene there na may will. Babasahin ko 'yung four lines. Sabi ko bakit four lines lang? I want more lines. Doon sa apat na linya, sasabat pa si Bea. Sabi ko ayaw ko na lang,” he said.

Joking he would just wait for the next material, Abunda said in jest that he could just not do it.

Joining Cruz and Alonzo in the series are John Estrada, John Arcilla, Jaime Fabregas, Jim Paredes, Slater Young, Megan Young and Maritoni Fernandez.

Billed as the "long-awaited return of the love team that defined a generation," "A Beautiful Affair" is Alonzo and Cruz's first TV project together in four years. It also marks the 10th anniversary of their onscreen team-up.

The series will premiere on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida on October 29. By wanderer || Full Story: Kapamilyalogy

Sophie, whose family hails from Tarlac, is a niece of Kris Aquino and Mikee Cojuangco. Sophie beat Chanel Morales and Shaira Mae in the reality search.

Zendee Rose Tenerefe makes ‘Ellen’ debut

From a shopping mall to US television.

After making waves online, Zendee Rose Tenerefe—also known as the “random girl” discovered while singing in a shopping mall—finally made her US television debut when saw performed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Friday, October 26.

The 21-year-old General Santos City native sang “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” from the musical “Dreamgirls” on “Ellen,” the same song she was singing on her viral Youtube video.

“Look at you! Amazing! Amazing!” talk show host Ellen DeGeneres said after Zendee’s performance. “Zendee, you’re incredible!”

“Actually, I’m always there to get attention to everyone,” Zendee said when Ellen asked  why she was singing karaoke in a mall.

[Related] ‘Random Girl’ says she got invite from Ellen’s show

“Because that’s the only place you can go,” Ellen remarked.

“And it’s free,” Zendee quipped.

Ellen also revealed one of the reasons why the young singer had to go to the mall to sing was because her family lived in a fire station.

“During nighttime because we’re not allowed to stay in daytime because it’s a working fire station,” she explained. “In the morning, I’ll go to the mall and sing.”

It will be recalled that one of  Charice’s first international breaks was when she performed on “Ellen” in 2007.

Arnel Pineda and Kapamilya artist Rap Salazar also appeared on “Ellen” in 2008 and 2009 respectively.
