ALLAN THE MAN

Filipino tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan and 'MVP Sports Foundation' Executive Director Chot Reyes will be meeting with NBA commissioner David Stern to discuss a potential deal for the Sacramento Kings, a highly-placed source told InterAKTV on Thursday.

Pangilinan, who bankrolls Talk ‘N Text and Meralco in the PBA and serves as President of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, has been linked to the Kings in the past. Rumors of his interest in the NBA franchise began in April last year, when the team was facing questions about its future in Sacramento. The Maloof family, however, denied interest in selling the franchise.

In March, the city announced that it had come to an agreement with the Kings owners and the NBA on a tentative deal that would provide for the construction on a new arena for the squad. In April, however, the Maloofs announced that it was backing out of the deal, before Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson announced that talks with the Kings owner were over, citing “irreconcilable” differences.

“The differences are too far apart. They could not be really overcome. We felt that this fair deal was something everyone was willing to agree to. But the economics for them was difficult,” Johnson told USA Today last month.

Hollie Cavanagh

The Top 3 finalists for American Idol Season 11 revealed tonight after Hollie Cavanagh was eliminated on the show. As I predicted, Bottom 2 composed of Hollie and Phillip Phillips. 

So, The Idol Top 3 finalists are Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips and Filipina-Mexican-American Jessica Sanchez.

Speaking of Jessica, she has now reached the level of Filipina-Hawaiian Jasmine Trias in AI season 3. Keep on supporting Jessica so she can make it to the Final 2.

He Jia, anchor for China Central Television's (CCTV) nationally televised news broadcast, made the claim during a late Monday broadcast that has been repeatedly replayed on the Internet.

The presenter apparently meant to say that the Huangyan islands – known in the Philippines as the Scarborough Shoal, and claimed by both nations – is China's territory.

"We all know that the Philippines is China's inherent territory and the Philippines belongs to Chinese sovereignty, this is an indisputable fact," He said in the broadcast, which has since disappeared from the CCTV website but is available elsewhere on the web.

Viewers joked in online postings that the presenter's nationalistic fervour led to her mistake.

"This anchor woman is great, a good patriot, she has announced to the world the the Philippines belongs to China," said a microblogger named helenjhuang.

"We should attack directly, send (Philippine President Benigno) Aquino packing and take back our inherent territory."

Finally! Jessica Sanchez received again a standing ovation from the Idol judges with her rendition of Jennifer Holliday song, "And I Am Telling You" on American Idol Top 4 Show. A great song choice for Jessica!

Her second song is "Steal Away' by Etta James. She didn't received a standing ovation for this one but judges think that she nailed it and obviously she has ridiculous vocals.
I think Jessica will be safe for tomorrow elimination. Although 'wag tayong magpakasiguro. Vote For Her HERE. For me, It's either Hollie Cavanagh or Phillip Phillips are to be voted off tomorrow. You Agree?

The 59-second video posted by glamchiq00 showed Santiago charging at Tulfo and people trying to stop the fist fight.

The video was uploaded after news broke out earlier in the afternoon about the incident.

Both Tulfo and Santiago were among the top trending topics on microblogging site Twitter because of the incident.

Santiago’s wife, actress Claudine Barretto, said she is challenging Tulfo to show the video which he claims caught her scolding the airport staff. Barretto also appealed to airport authorities to release the CCTV footage to determine who really started the brawl between Tulfo and her husband.

The amateur video was immediately shared on other social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.

“I don't know what happened, but from this video, mas hinawakan at inawat si Mon Tulfo ng mga guards than Raymart Santiago. Walang pumigil kay Raymart sa pagsuntok niya kay Mon Tulfo while Tulfo was held down by the airport guards,” journalist Joel Pablo Salud said on Facebook.
