Tom Rodriguez, Pauleen Luna and Rafael Rosell Star in the Movie "Gaydar"
Goodbye "My Husband's Lover" and so with you Dennis Trillo and Carla Abellana! Here comes Pauleen Luna, Rafael Rosell and MHL lead star Tom Rodriguez in "Gaydar".
Alvin Yapan’s ‘Gaydar’ starring Pauleen Luna, Rafael Rosell and Tom Rodriguez is one of the three featured films at this year’s “Q Cinema: The 2013 Quezon City Film Festival” that will run from October 3-5 at Trinoma Cinemas.
There was actually a short comedy film of the same title written and produced by Terry Ray and Larry Lafond in 2002 but it seems totally different from the first film. We are not in the position to comment about the film as of this posting but we would like to believe that the Philippines’ ‘Gaydar’ is different from the foreign version.
Yapan’s ‘Gaydar’ is set to be shown at Trinoma Cinema 3 on October 5 at 9pm.
Synopsis:
Tina thinks she’s cursed. She always ends up falling in love with gays. After her latest embarrassment with Ricky, whom she thought would propose to her on their date but ends up introducing to his boyfriend, she vows never to fall in love again with men. Men always end up gay whenever she falls in love with them.
Tina is part of the Makati working class. She lives in Quezon City and rides a regular FX service to Makati. This is where she met Ricky. When everything went sour with them however, she forced to look for another FX service she could use on a regular basis. She calls on her reliable best friend, Nick, to help her find one. Nick is forced to go with Tina and abandon using FX service where they met Ricky. Nick and Tina have been friends since they first met at the cafeteria of the building where they both work. Tina always thought Nick to be gay and they become best friend since then. But secretly, Nick is in love with Tina. He just couldn’t te ll her for fear of ruining their friendship. He is so in love with Tina that it is already enough for nick to be with her every day.
While looking for a new service nick, Tina meets Richard, an FX driver, who immediately forces Tina to abandon her new vow never to fall in love again with men. Nick just couldn’t believe Tina. She employs the help of nick to find out whether Richard is gay or not. Both nick and Tina then set up different “traps” for Richard. Can he catch a ball with single hand? How does he pick items from the floor? How does he cut his fingernails? Every manner of gesture and detail they could think of they let Richard go through with it. Tina will never allow herself again to fall in love with a gay guy.
On the other hand, nick is beginning to realize that Tina will never be his. He will always be Tina’s unofficially gay best friend. He will have to let her go. Especially when he finds out that Richard is really straight and is also beginning to fall in love with Tina. More than this. Nick also discovers that Richard is really not just an FX driver which Tina has already come to accept as long as Richard really comes to love her. As it turns out, Richard actually owns the entire FX franchise and sells cars on the side. He masquerades as an FX driver since he is also looking for the right girl who will fall in love with him, and not his flourishing business.
Nick now feels that his love for Tina is finally a lost cause. He begins to distance himself from Tina. When Richard finally reveals his true identity and declare his love for her, Tina fined that nick is no longer around to share her happiness and triumph at love. It was then that she realized that Nick has already become a huge part of her life.
Fortunately, with the help Richard, she encounters Ricky again who tells her of nick’s secret love for her. Ricky knows about this since he courted Nick in their past FX days, and Nick declined his advances by telling him unrequited loves stories about Tina,
Tina just couldn’t believe what she’s hearing. Now she has to choose between two men, between Richard and Nick. In the end however, what wins is the love that has stood the test of time. Tina chooses nick. Nick however now refuses to see her again. Richard, being a gentleman that he is, helps Tina in convincing nick to be with her again, and if need be to start all over again. They set this elaborate trap where they kidnap Nick, bring him to an abandoned house, bind him to a chair and blindfold him. And just when Nick has already given up his life for dead, Tina removes his blindfold and declares her feelings in front of him, saying that Nick already has her heart from the very start. Sh e now wants his heart in ransom for hers since he has stolen her heart, as deftly as a thief, that she never realized it until now.

Invisible Man Book Ban in US State
Invisible Man Book Ban in US State
Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man was voted ban by a North Carolina county from their school libraries. The Asheboro Courier-Tribune reports that the decision followed a complaint from a parent, who called the novel "too much for teenagers." The decision was 5-2, with one board member claiming, "I didn't find any literary value." The 1952 novel, which won the National Book Award, is among the most famous novels dealing with black identity — and black invisibility — in America. The famous opening lines of the novel read, "I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids — and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me."
An English professor at Winthrop University he may have discovered the identity of the elusive author of The Bondwoman's Narrative, which is believed to be the first novel written by an African-American woman. The professor, Gregg Hecimovich, says the 19th century novel was probably written by a slave woman named Hannah Bond, who disguised herself as a man and fled captivity on a North Carolina plantation. Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. told The New York Times, "Words cannot express how meaningful this is to African-American literary studies. It revolutionizes our understanding of the canon of black women's literature."
Valerie Plame, the former undercover CIA agent who was outed in 2003, , according to The Washington Post's "Reliable Source" column. The novel, Blowback, follows a "covert agent who appears incapable of taking orders and finds herself at the center of a deadly race to locate and eradicate an Iranian nuclear threat," according to the Post. The paper added that it's "what espionage fans call 'spy light': Two-page chapters with cliffhanger endings, predictable clashes...and years of covert operations somehow packed into a couple weeks of action."
Pavel Astakhov, Russia's children's ombudsman, which is apparently a thing that exists, in an interview that he didn't believe in sex education for children, but that "the best sex education that exists is Russian literature." As The Guardian rightly points out, Russia is home to some of literature's most demented love affairs.
A never-before-published poem by Dorothy Wordsworth, the sister of William Wordsworth and a skilled poet in her own right, has been in its entirety for the first time on the Oxford University Press' blog. It begins: "Five years of sickness & of pain / This weary frame has travelled oer / But God is good & once again I rest upon a tranquil shore." - npr.org

LuAnn de Lesseps and Jacques Aszoulay Separate
LuAnn de Lesseps, star of The Real Housewives of New York City, has split from boyfriend Jacques Azoulay,
"They are at different points in their life now and have mutually agreed it is best," the rep tells Us. "LuAnn is upset, but it's amicable and they remain friends. Jacques has been a wonderful part of her life." the Countess reps confirms to US Weekly.
De Lesseps, 48, began dating the wine entrepreneur, 38, in 2010. The couple began talking about the possibility of starting a family together during the fifth season of the Real Housewives, which aired in summer 2012.
"My chances at this point in my life of getting pregnant are not good and I know it's not going to be easy," De Lesseps admitted on the show. (The reality star is already mom to two teenage children, Victoria and Noel, with ex-husband Alexandre de Lesseps. "It's definitely not like the first time I had children. I think Fertile Myrtle has taken a little wander into the pasture."
De Lesseps received the title of Countess from her marriage t o French nobleman Count Alexandre. The two divorced in 2009 after 16 years of marriage, but the Bravo star has continued to use her royal title.
When De Lesseps began dating again a year after her divorce, she told Us she likes men who make sweet gestures. "It's about the intention behind the actions," she said. " It's about showing the other person that you really care and are thinking of them. It's about making someone feel special."
Sid Lucero a happy dad to daughter Halo
SID LUCERO is having a great time being a dad to his daughter Halo, with band singer Bea Lao as the mom. “My mom (Bing Pimentel) helps us take care of her,” he says at the presscon of GMA-7’s new afternoon soap, “Magkano ang Pag-ibig Mo”, that replaces “Maghihintay Sa’Yo”. “She’s a big blessing dahil she gave a new direction to my life. It’s like the song ‘Amazing Grace’ dahil malaking grasya siya talaga sa buhay ko. Naisip ko lahat ng mga kagaguhang ginawa ko in the past at pinagsisihan ko and I prayed na sana, hindi siya maging ganoon o hindi siya ganunin ninuman. Dahil sa kanya, I let go of my old ways. When I saw Bea giving birth to her, ang respeto ko sa mga babae, tumaas nang todo.”
So are they thinking of marriage now? “We want to make sure muna that everything is fine between us. We don’t want to use the baby as reason for us to get together. Basta we’re more focused muna on our baby. Nandito kami for Halo na talagang inspiration ngayon sa’kin for me to work harder and do better in my career.”
Didn’t he have second thoughts working anew with Heart Evangelista in “Magkano ang Pag-ibig Mo” considering they were linked before when they were paired in “Legacy”? “No, because as Heart herself said, we dated a couple of times, but never naging kami. Hindi natuloy. At okay naman kami, we’re comfortable with each other. Sa first taping day nga namin, kuwentuhan kami agad, kumustahan. I’m glad to be working with her again and we have a good working relationship.”
Ritz Azul stars in mature Drama - For Love or Money
RITZ AZUL is happy that right after the hit “Misibis Bay”, TV5 is giving her another good project in “For Love or Money”, which pairs her anew with Derek Ramsay, with whom she has worked before in “Kidlat”.
Director Mac Alejandre is helming it. What is the story all about? “It’s about an ordinary working class couple, Derek and Ritz, who get a rare opportunity of a lifetime when a rich and beautiful woman played by Alice Dixson makes them an initial offer of five million pesos in exchange for Rich lending her the husband, Derek, for 10 days of ‘companionship’. What follows is an intriguing journey of three people faced with choices that will be difficult for them to make.”
This will surely be a more mature drama for Ritz compared to “Kidlat” since she will have a bed scene with Derek. Derek himself is excited with the role. “After doing a superhero role in ‘Kidlat’ and an action series like ‘Undercover’, I’m glad balik ako dito sa ‘For Love or Money’ in a serious drama,” he says.
This is also a reunion for him and Alice Dixson, who played the main villain to him in “Undercover” where they even had some action scenes together.
