More Hayden Kho Scandals to be Released...

How true are the rumors that aside from the Katrina Halili-Hayden Kho Scandal, Maricar Reyes-Hayden Kho Scandal and a Brazilian Hayden Kho Scandal, there are still more Hayden Kho Scandal out there waiting to be released. And guess what? Watching the news on television and coming from some online sources, these will include 1 comedian and the other, a beauty queen.

From the fearless forecast, the said comedian is no other than Rufa Mae Quinto and the beauty queen is Ana Teresa Licaros. Way back when Dra. Vicky Belo and Dr. Hayden Kho broke up, one of the names that surfaced aside from Katrina Halili was Rufa Mae Quinto. But during the time, Rufa Mae Quinto kept on denying it. She even had a misunderstanding with co-host Mo Twister when Mo revealed her name.

With Ana Teresa Licaros, that's a surprise. Same with Maricar Reyes. Oh, and another one. maybe its no surprise if one of the videos will include Dra Vicky Belo herself.

Apple iPhone 2009 comes on 17 July, OLED display on board

We’ve heard lots of stuff about the next-gen Apple iPhone, but here's a rundown of all the latest rumors. The 17 July announcement of the iPhone 2009 is pretty much clear by now but there are some new juicy bits and pieces.

One of the new rumors states that the iPhone 2009 will use an OLED display instead of the current industry leading unit. As of yet, we haven't seen an AMOLED display to match the iPhone display, but who knows we might be surprised. One thing's for sure, AMOLED displays are more energy efficient than standard LCD units, so that seems like a nice move to bump up the appalling battery life of the iPhone 3G.

As rumors have it the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone 2009 will glow much like the ones on Apple laptops. Well if not for anything else, at least it sounds extra cool.

The new iPhone will also probably get rid of the metallic frame around the display and will feature a 3.2 MP AF camera with video recording, will be able to send image/video MMS, and will have double the RAM and increased processing power.

Previous rumors also state that there will be rubber back surface, generally smoother design and nice features as built-in compass.

Finally, the new iPhone will come in at least two versions - 16GB and 32GB ones. All this stuff sounds quite promising, so we are eager to hear more about it from the Cupertino team.

Maricar Reyes Video Scandal

You would say Maricar Reyes da who?! Maricar Reyes is a successful commercial model and is a Star Magic talent and had her first taste in acting in the just concluded ABS-CBN Primetime series, “I Love Betty La Fea” as John Lloyd Cruz’ first love in the series. Before Maricar Reyes could even make a mark in Philippine Showbiz via good acting or landing a meaty role, she is now making a splash with a video scandal. Maricar Reyes is seen doing the deed with Hayden Kho, apparently just one of a series of videos that Hayden is involved in. Dr. Hayden Kho is indeed the Filipino version of Edison Chen with all these videos he secretly filmed with various personalities. But unlike in the US where a sextape could even boost a career, in the Philippines a video scandal as what it is called out here, could spell doom for a budding showbiz career. So with this, Maricar Reyes could say bye bye to Philippine Showbiz.

American Idol Season 8 - The Final Performance

The Nokia theater is packed! Says Ryan, “The acoustic rocker vs the glam rocker, Conway vs California, The guy next door vs the guy liner…it comes down to Kris and Adam… ”
