Jessica Alba not flattered in a girl's plan to look like her


I have heard in Mo's radio show Good Times with Mo on Magic 89.9 that there was a Chinese girl who wanted to undergo a plastic surgery in order to look like Jessica Alba because her ex-boyfriend wanted has a big crush on Jessica Alba.

Now the news have gotten into Alba's knowledge and she is distressed about this news. According to her:

"I think you should never have to change yourself like that. If somebody loves you, they'll love you no matter what."


Apparently, for Jessica Alba, imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery.

JABBAWOCKEEZ's arrival


Because of the Jabbawockeez’s upcoming concert, we were so excited with their arrival. We have learned that they will be arriving a week earlier before the concert. We were so excited and eager to see them again so we have decided to go to the airport and welcome them. We were there early. They were supposed to be at the arrival area at 6:00 a.m. We were waiting for almost 30 minutes when a group of girls screamed which means that they are coming.

When I looked inside, there were guys waving so it must be them. I was ready to wave my folder with Joe Larot’s name on it. When they are finally walking towards us, I saw Ben, Phi and the others. I got nervous because I couldn’t see Joe, I even thought what if he wasn’t there, that he was left in L.A. but then I saw him at the back. He was the last Jabbawockeez walking. They will be interviewed by ABS-CBN. The girls ran towards them but the big guy (their bodyguard) was preventing the girls to be near the guys. When the big guy finally left Joe’s side, I ran towards Joe. He was just right in front of me. I called him and told him that the lei I have was for him. I put it in his neck and then I took pictures of him will he was introducing himself in the camera. I gather all my courage to ask him if I could hug him and he willingly obliged. We hugged. At that moment, I have no idea where Cory and Ara are. I heard Cory called me. She told me to take a picture with Joe so she took a picture of us but she had a hard time taking the picture and Joe asked her if the picture is not yet taken. After that, he became busy entertaining the other fans. He got lost in my sight.

And then, we looked for Kid Rainen so that Cory could have a picture with him. We even had to run after him because they were already asked to go to the van. But luckily, Cory had the chance to take a picture with Kid. When they were already at the van, they keep smiling and waving to the fans. Joe is even showing off his lei, maybe he is saying thank you for the lei that I gave him. I was showing all of them my poster with Joe’s name and their pictures. Kevin even asked me to show him the pictures and he gave me the thumbs up sign. Joe was all smiles the whole time. We went to the back side of the van where I have a good view of Joe. I was waving my folder to them the whole time to let them know how happy I am for their arrival. Before leaving, Joe blew a flying kiss for me which I also did at the same time.

I was really so happy after that encounter. Meeting my idol upclose is something that I will treasure forever.

ORLANDO AND KEIRA NOT IN PIRATES 4?

Captain Jack Sparrow will soon take to the seas again, and this time he is after the most sought-after treasure imaginable: the Fountain of Youth.

It was announced this week that the fourth installment of Disney's highly successful "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise will begin filming in Hawaii this summer. Johnny Depp once again plays the flamboyant Captain Jack, and Geoffrey Rush reprises his role as his adversary, Barbossa. However, costars Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are not expected to return.

The film's story is loosely based on the 1987 pirate novel, "On Stranger Tides" by award-winning fantasy author Tim Powers. The book tells the story of a young man -- coincidentally named "Jack" -- who is captured by the pirate Blackbeard and forced to join in the search for the Fountain of Youth.

Ted Elliott, the co-writer of the first three "Pirates" movies, said that the story of the novel just happened to align with where they wanted to take the fourth film. He told Empire magazine, "We wanted to do a story about Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth, and Tim Powers wrote a book about Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth... it just turns out that to do that story you would need that book."

Johnny Depp signed on to appear in the fourth movie in 2008, before there was a script. It was announced at the same time he would also be playing Tonto in a film version of "The Lone Ranger," but that project has been delayed until after "Pirates" is finished.

Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom have both said they had no desire to return for a fourth movie. Knightley said in an interview, "It was a completely fantastic experience, and it was an amazingly large portion of my life, but I don't think I need to go there again. I think that it's done." Also, the director of the original trilogy, Gore Verbinski, will not be coming back. He is being replaced by Rob Marshall, the director of "Chicago" and "Nine."

"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is scheduled to dock into movie theaters on May 20th, 2011.

--it's kinda sad that we won't see Elizabeth Swan and Will Turner in Pirates..we've been used to seeing their love story and adventures in the past 3 Pirates movies..but i'm pretty much sure that Pirates 4 is a must-see-movie...see in theaters!
