The Ten: 10 of the once-relevant items you might have recently stopped thinking about
MANILA, Philippines - 10. Jon Gosselin
You once had eight reasons to care about the guy — or at least give intermittent glance to the People covers he was on — seeing as the Korean-American’s super sperm had gotten a white woman to pop eight young ’uns out. After splitting from his wife, dropping out of their reality show, and increasingly exposing his bald spot and delusions of grandeur (he claimed he was going to start a fashion label with Ed Hardy’s Christian Audigier), Gosselin now seems a goner in culture.
9. Anne Curtis’s chest
Its moment went by fast enough to leave us nippy.
8. Heidi Montag
There was that moment, after reading a blogged news bit about Ms. Montag, of astonishment followed by a wave of amusement. Whether it was her way-up-there bravado for releasing a trash-tastic music video for her single Higher or the lows of her excessive plastic surgery, Heidi never seemed to hide from the spotlight. Until now, it seems.
7. Krista Ranillo
Supposedly the only knockout able to knock our nation’s golden boy out, if not scatter a little dirt onto his good name. After she’d ditched scandal to get hitched in the US, trading sexy shoots for law school lectures as well, she’s given us the chance to think and talk about other affairs than, well, that one.
6. The furor against Hayden Kho
And we all thought Hayden Kho was never gonna dance again. Everything seems to be coming up roses for Kho given that the court has dismissed the case against him and especially with the sweet smell of the eponymous collection of scents he’s peddling. With a Belo breakup and Bong Revilla’s anger still burning, what’s wafting from Kho’s hairy ass is eau de relevànce.
5. Lady Gagita
Looks like the Fame monster ate this one up and spat him out. Apart from a few bar appearances here and there and a performance at Mr. Gay World Philippines, the gimmickry seems to have been drained out of Gagita so that even an outfit made out of longganiza might not get our viral attention back. But more importantly, where is Haroncé?
4. The PCOS machine
Voted off of the island of cool ‘til the next election.
3. The mistresses of Tiger Woods
Because we’ve had enough of Tiger the Swinger, we want Tiger with his magic swing back.
2. The Facebook poke
Seriously, when was the last time you “poked” anyone, let alone “Superpoked”?
1. Jeje-anything
After such a dark and incomprehensible period in language and culture, we’re once again pushing for peace and understanding.
