Mysterious Lito from the Middle East had to remind me that X-Ray Magazine is now out in the newsstands here in Manila. [Thanks Lito for all those emails! Keep 'em coming.] The publishers thought of making it into a 2008 calendar featuring The Studs of GMA 7 , composed of Starstruck's Dion Ignacio, Starstruck Ultimate Survivor Mike Tan, former Wazzup Wazzup host JC Cuadrado, Starstruck Avenger Kevin Santos [in a daring Calvin Klein pose], Star in a Million Finalist Lance Onate, one-half of the twinkie-twins Felix Roco and Mr. Pogi Edgar Allan de Guzman. Masahista Coco Martin is also in the calendar. Sorry guys, I won't be scanning the calendar here so buy a copy at Php 395.

I remember back in the Philippines when the Queer as Folk series started, my boyfriend back then bought the season 1 DVD and totally hooked with this Showtime Gay Series. One character in particular that interests me was Brian Kinney. An self gloating, over confident, very good looking advertising executive who sleeps with almost all if not all of the hot guys in town. I was quite sad when the series ended but it did give me some great memories. My all time crush - WHO I SAW PERSONALLY one time at the Allegria Restaurant by Silverlake where i live.


Birth Name
Gale Morgan Harold III

Height
6' 1½" (1.87 m)

Mini Biography

Gale Harold was born and raised around Atlanta, Georgia. Attended American University in Washington, D.C., and eventually left the Capital to study Fine Arts at the San Francisco Art Institute. Loves and restores Italian motorcycles. Suzy Landau, producer for Francis Ford Coppola, convinced him to take his act to the stage. He has appeared in many fine theater productions as well.


Trivia

Worked as a carpenter and motorcycle mechanic before being cast in "Queer as Folk" (2000).

Avid reader of The Nation magazine.

Calls the city of Toronto his home.

Began acting at the age of 28.

Has an older sister and a younger brother.

Attended South West Dekalb High School and The Lovett School.

Past influences were Jack London, Gandalf & David Bowie.

Was raised in a Pentecostal household.

In 2007, two years after Queer as Folk went off the air, Harold and Randy Harrison's characters Brian and Justin won an only poll sponsored by the website Gay.com to choose TV's "Favorite Gay Couple." They won in a landslide, with 35% of the on-line vote.

Missing the guys of Be Bench: The Model Search? The newspaper Manila Standard/Today reported that all six finalists of Be Bench “have all been signed up to be part of the ever growing list of talents that make Star Magic the biggest talent management company in local entertainment.” The newspaper also reported that all finalists “are also commissioned to join the platoon of Bench endorsers.” Good news to the four losers. It turned out that they won the top prizes, too.

With confidence, 2007 Bb. Pilipinas-International Nadia Shami said at yesterday’s media send-off that she hopes to bring home the country’s fifth Miss International crown (after Gemma Cruz in 1965, Aurora Pijuan in 1970, Melanie Marquez in 1979 and Precious Lara Quigaman in 2005).

Half-Arab and half-Filipino, Nadia is leaving on Sunday, Sept. 30, for Tokyo where she will compete with 63 other beauties from the same number of countries at the 47th Miss International pageant on Oct. 15.

A deadringer for 1972 Bb. Pilipinas-International Yogi Dominguez, Nadia (who also looks Venezuelan) is going to Tokyo fully prepared. She has taken crash courses in charm and poise, and brushed up on things Japanese.

But then, since the Philippines won the title only two years ago, would that adversely affect Nadia’s chances?

“It does put some pressure on me,” said Nadia, “but I hope the judges won’t take it against me.”

In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize the transience of life because of their short blooming times. They have also come to represent clouds due to their nature of blooming in mass. Such delicate and beautiful visions, it is only fitting that they become the backdrop to help present the world's most beautiful dolls in the 2007 Miss Unibarse evening gown competition.

A selection committee headed by the National Artist for Film Eddie Romero picked the Indie film Donsol starring Angel Aquino and Sid Lucero as the country’s entry to the Best Foreign Language Film category of the Academy Awards otherwise known as the Oscars.


Donsol is a province of Sorsogon where the movie was shot. This is the directorial debut of Adolf Alix, Jr. and has premiered at the 2006 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival where it won Best Cinematography and Best Actress for Angel Aquino. Star Cinema screened the movie last November of 2006.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Donsol was selected because it passed all the requirements asked by the Academy Awards: that the movie should at least be screened in local theaters in 2006, not in the English language and it has a 35mm version (which is rare among digital films). This could be the reason why Kubrador, the most awarded Filipino movie of 2006 in various international film festivals, wasn’t selected because it didn’t pass the pre-requisites.

Donsol tells the story of two people who meet and fall in love at a time when the butanding (whale sharks) visit Sorsogon, which is located at the southeastern part of the Bicol Peninsula.

Last year, a total of 61 countries submitted films for consideration in the Foreign Language Film category for the 79th Academy Awards, and our country’s pick was Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros (The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros) directed by Auraeus Solito. The popular indie movie was also nominated in the Spirit awards, an award-giving body for independent films which boosted its campaign for the Oscars.

On January 22, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences will select the five nominees for the 2008 Foreign Language Oscar. The Academy Awards will be presented February 24, 2008.

Taiwan’s entry directed by Brokeback Mountain and Sense & Sensibility director Ang Lee is considered the “shoo-in” to win the category next year.

Who was the Pinay ex-beauty queen who won a Cannes filmfest acting nomination? BTW, Variety, the no. 1 entertainment mag in the world, has named as one of the top 50 world filmfests the Cairo International Film Festival where our very own Nora Aunor and other Filipina actresses have won Best Actress awards in the past.

The top five of Variety's Best 50 World Filmfests are Berlin (our fave Manila actoress Vilma Santos won few tropihes here), Cannes, Sundance, Toronto and I think Manila (I forgot the 5th one).

Take note that Manila Internat'l Fimfest was organized by former Manila beauty queen and world's top 5 richest woman Imelda Marcos

Why is Wonder Woman a gay icon? Duh! The whole office girl- SPIN TRANSFORMATION -turned sexy super hero with a fabulous outfit of red, white and blue (oh and gold!)... that's enough homo experience for me. I remember when I was a kid, when the Linda Carter Wonder Woman series was on TV, i'll jump up and down because i was so excited to see her run to a private room and transform from Diana to Wonder Woman. I also like the idea that the 'crown' can transform to a boomerang or a hook. The costume can also change from the regular corsette type top to a scuba diving body suit. Oh and the soundtrack!!! OMG... It's totally gay.
And of course, like all gays in the club scene, they made a remix. Haha:

Burmese monks in pagoda protest

The monks' protest will be worrying for Burma's rulers
Hundreds of Buddhist monks have marched around Burma's most revered temple, in a third consecutive day of protests against the military government.
The monks were allowed into the Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon for the first time since their protests began.

They walked through the city surrounded by a human chain of civilians holding hands to protect them.

They want a government apology for the violent break-up of a recent rally, triggered by protests over price rises.

Dozens of plainclothes police officers followed the monks with video cameras as they marched towards the temple, witnesses said.

The pagoda, which dominates the former capital, was also surrounded by dozens of plainclothes security officials and riot police trucks were on standby.

Once inside, the Buddhist monks held prayers, the Reuters news agency reported, then marched towards the Sule Pagoda downtown, before the protest finished.

They were watched by hundreds of onlookers, who clapped and smiled, witnesses said.

'Serious challenge'

The monks' activities have given new life to persistent protests that began after shock fuel price rises last month, which have led to a sharp rise in the price of consumer goods.

The monks have asked civilians not to join them for fear of provoking reprisals by the security forces. Many activists have been jailed and some have allegedly been tortured for participating in earlier protests.

On Wednesday, hundreds of monks marched through Sittwe, Mandalay and Rangoon.



They were calling for the release of four of their fellow monks arrested during protests on Tuesday, which were violently dispersed by the security forces.

One Rangoon-based group, the Alliance of All Burmese Buddhist Monks, has asked its followers across the country to refuse alms and offerings from anyone connected to the military.

The monks' protests represent one of the most serious challenges yet faced by Burma's military rulers, says the BBC's South East Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head.

Monks are highly respected figures in Burmese society, and were key players in mass protests staged in 1988, which were violently put down by the military regime.

This time the military has held off perhaps because they are wary of stirring up more public anger in a country already enraged over years of economic hardship, our correspondent adds.
