BB Gandanghair Refused Entrance in a Bar for Cross Dessing

BB Gandanghari, the female reincarnation of ex-hunk actor Rustom Padilla, was reportedly refused entrance at Aruba Bar and Restaurant in Metro Walk in Ortigas because the establishment has a dress code, which includes no cross-dressing.

The bar is the same one that refused entrance to stand-up comedian, Inday Garutay, because of, you guessed it, cross-dressing. To make the story, gusto mang rumampa ni BB sa Aruba Bar at panoorin ang concert ni Rannie Raymundo, that idea was unapologetically nixed by the bar's bouncer, manager and owner.

The bar has so many rules, ha. There's one that says "the bar may refuse entrance to those who are incorrigibly uncool." This means us who are incapable of being sophisticated or worldly wise. Can you say pretentious?! That applies to the establishment, the owners of the establishment and the hoity toity crowd at Aruba. On behalf of the sweaty masses, I salute all of you with both hands up and the middle fingers extended.

Ok, now back to Ms BB. She waxed poetic about the incident in her blog. I must admit I didn't read the whole thing because it has all the boring, philosophical and political stuff and quotes from dead people. Read it here if you must. So, Ms BB said that she now knows how Rosa Parks must have felt back in the day when racial segregation was the "in" thing. Hate to break it to you Ms BB, but what you felt when you were refused entrance in Aruba is not even a smidgen of what black people experienced in their daily life. C'mon now. Blacks didn't have branded dresses, shoes and accessories, and Shu Uemura cosmetics back in the day. Sorry to be dissing Ms Bb, but I'm just sayin'.

The "no cross dressing" rules. It's all about the rules. Rules are rarely black and white. If Ms BB is not a well known celebrity and she enters the bar, no one would have mistaken her for a cross dresser. There are many gays out there who look way more girly and feminine than real women. And there are women who look like dudes. Paano ang mga operada, ang mga tibo? How would this rule apply?

In the grand scheme of things, Aruba is just a gnat. Meaning it's insignificant and should not be turned into a rallying cry by gays who have had it with discrimination. For all we know, this global recession, with a little bit of bad karma thrown, would see the end of Aruba. Even "cool" people would need to scrimp sometime, you know?

Pops Fernandez is not Reconciling With Ex Martin Nievera

At a press conference to promote her new album titled Hope under MCA Records, cougar singer/actress Pops Fernandez clarified that she and ex-husband Martin Nievera are not in constant communication. They do talk occasionally, especially if it's about the children they share together. Pops made this statement so as not to mislead the public.

Does this mean they are not reconciling? What about the fans?! Who will now watch your concert(s) with Martin? Who will now buy your CDs with Martin in it? What about the fans? The fans don't watch your concert and buy your CDs to hear your angelic voice. They buy the romantic idea of you and Martin together. Let's be real, Pops does not have the most excellent of voices out there. I remember reading a Pops concert review years ago in which the writer said that the voice of then child star Aiza Seguerra was better than the main attraction of the show. Ouch.

By the way, Martin sings a duet with Pops in a song titled "Goodbye Girl" in her Hope CD. Hmmm, what an apt title, that CD. Like, I have so much hopes for Pops. For example, "I hope she finally stops injecting her lips with ass fats." "I hope you finally find the ideal prey to your cougar." [You go, girl!] :P C'mon share all your hopes for Pops.

Speaking of lip enhancement, WTF happened to Pops'?! She was so much prettier with her old lips. And it seems her BFFs Gretchen "elevator" Baretto and Ropa Gutierrez have also jumped the "Angelina Jolie lips" bandwagon. Girls, natural is so much prettier.

Blind Items: Your Guess Is As Good As Mine

Blind items from my favorite showbiz writer Cristy Fermin via my favorte read Bulgar:

1. Totoong-totoo pooohhh...

Sa isang probinsya na di kalayuan sa Maynila, naimbitahan ang isang komedyante sa piyesta. Dun sa bahay na kinainan nila merong isang matandang babae na inirerespeto ng lahat. Naglambing ang matanda na roon kumain sa mesa niya ang komedyante.

Ang dami daming nakarinig sa sarkastikong comment nung komedyante, "Juice ko, para alimango lang, kailangan ko pang lumipat dun para lang ako makakain."

Natural maraming nagulat sa komedyante dahil sa kawalan nya ng konsiderasyon. Matanda na yung nag-imbita sa kanya, lumalambing lang naman, pero ganun pa ang sasabihin nya?

Nung nagpe-perform na si komedyante, walang gaanong pumapalakpak sa kanya, kumalat na kasi ang kuwento tungkol sa di kagandahan nyang ugali. Inilampaso siya ng isang kasamahan niyang komedyante (na ang pangalan ay posisyon ng isang politikong sumusunod sa mayor), kinabog talaga siya.

2. Akres kapit sa patalim, pokpok sa foreigner, $2,000 kada dyug

Nasa lobby ng isang hotel daw ang source at ang kaibigan nitong foreigner, tiyempo namang nasa harapang mesa pala nila ang akres, pamilyar sa kanya ang babae.

"Napansin ng kaibigan ko nginingitian siya nung babae, sabi ko naman, ganun lang talaga siya, public figure kasi siya rito sa atin. Pero nagulat ako, biglang naupo sa table namin si akres (datihan ng artista na hindi pa naman katandaan ang edad), nagpakilala siya sa amin, wala raw siyang kasama, nagpapalipas lang daw siya ng oras dahil may ka-meeting siyang producer at napaaga siya ng dating."

"...nagkuwentuhan at kumain kami. Kinuha niya ng number ng friend ko, ibinigay din siya ang phone number niya. Nagtataka ako bakit ang tagal-tagal na naming nagkukuwentuhan, pero hindi pa rin dumarating ang ka-meeting niya. Nung nakahalata siya, meron siyang tinawagan, ewan kung totong may kausap siya. Hindi na raw makakarating ang kausap niya dahil sumabit sa isang meeting."

Malalim na ang gabi, naghiwa-hiwalay na sila, uwuwi na ang kaibigan ng foreigner at ang lalaki naman ay umakyat na sa kanyang hotel room. Pero may nangyari pala nung gabing yun, kinabukasan na lang nalaman ng kababayan niyang banyaga, magkasama pala ng magdamag ang foreigner at ang akres.

"Grabe, hindi naman pala umuwi yung girl, nandun lang pala siya sa paligid ng hotel, hinintay lang pala niya ako makaalis. Tinawagan niya pala ang kaibigan kong foreigner, magkuwentuhan daw ulit sila, pero sa hotel room ng foreigner huwag na sa lobby."

"Pumayag naman ang friend ko, hanggang sa may nangyari na sa kanila. Ang shocking, siningil niya ang friend ko, $2000 ang hinihingi niyang bayad, pero $1000 lang ang ibinigay sa kanya."

Madalas maging leading lady noon ng mga action stars ang akres na ito, napakarami niyang nakarelasyon, magbanggit kayo ng posisyon ng kahit sino at siguradong merong siyang nakarelasyong ganun ang trabaho. Siya ang kapangalan ng isang batang akres na may serye ngayong ipinaglihi sa hayop.

Martin Nievera vs Jomari Yllana Part 2

I was so disappointed when it appeared that the Martin Nievera-Jomari Yllana was over after Martin refused to make a rebuttal to Jomari Yllana's statement in Cool Center. But in his interview on SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon) Martin finally let it all out. I love Martin again simply because he uttered these beautiful words:

On whether he was hurt by Jomari's statement on Cool Center, Martin's catty remarks were: "No. He was reading it, so whoever wrote it [gives a thumb up sign]. Rawr!

Martin further added that he will never work with Jomari Yllana again. Well, whose brilliant idea was it to do a concert again with your ex-wife, Pops Fernandez? I think it was made to rile up those hibernating Martin and Pops fans who are still hoping for a reconciliation. Fans, give it up. If you still can't, Martin more or else said "I never thought about it [reconciliation] before, during and after the concert." Martin, keep that thought, well until Pops' lips return to their normal state.

Martin interview was held in Boracay, the site of the 2009 Goma Cup, in which he is a celebrity participant.

Beyonce: Voice of an Angel

Here's a clip shock jock Howard Stern played on his Sirius Radio program that is supposedly the unedited board feed from Beyonce's performance of "If I Were A Boy" on Today back in November 2008. It turned out to be a fake as someone claimed to have doctored it for fun.

If listening to Adam Lambert hit those falsettos is not enough to clean your ears, click the video above. Your ears will definitely hear better.

Beyonce's Pa issued this statement:

If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.

If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing 'America the Beautiful' and 'At Last' at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce's vocal ability, they've gotta be an idiot.

At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.

That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered.
