PSY - 'GENTLEMAN' 1st Live Performance

Psy's "Gangnam Style" is YouTube's most-watched video of all time at 1.5 billion views.
"Gentleman," which features the 35-year-old goofball lothario debuting a new hip-swinging signature dance and playing pranks on women in various locations around Seoul, has been viewed 215 million times in the 10 days since its release. It took Gangnam Style took more than 50 days to reach 100 million views.
Psy's viral fortunes haven't been buoyed by mainstream media support back home, though. The video for "Gentleman" was banned by a South Korean broadcaster last week because of its depiction of "the abuse of public property." In one sequence in the video, Psy is seen kicking a “no parking” sign.

As Blu tries to fit in with his new neighbors, he worries he may lose Jewel and the kids to the call of the wild.

Will Smith Conquers a New World in “After Earth”, Can He Survive?

Two-time Academy Award® nominee Will Smith has enjoyed unprecedented success in a career encompassing films, television, and multi-platinum records. For his memorable portrayal of Muhammad Ali in Michael Mann’s “Ali”, he received his first Oscar nomination. That was followed by his second nomination, for his performance in the true-life drama “The Pursuit of Happyness.”

Smith’s extraordinary list of blockbusters includes the most recent “Men In Black 3,” “I Am Legend” and “Hancock.” He also thrilled audiences in such huge hits as “I, Robot,” “Independence Day,” “Men in Black” and “Men in Black II.”

Now, Smith stars as Cypher, a legendary general whose legacy his young, rebellious son is determined to emulate, in Columbia Pictures' futuristic action-thriller, “After Earth.”

In the film, a crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.

“What I thought was really interesting about this film was that it’s huge in scope, but it comes down to a simple idea that every person in the audience can relate to: it’s a father and son story,” says Will Smith. “I think that’s what audiences will really connect with – seeing the father try to connect with the son, to teach him, with life-or-death consequences.”

The lesson the father must teach his son is to conquer his fear. “Every parent knows when his or her child is lying to them because they’re scared of something,” says Will Smith. “And every parent has a different way of dealing with that. In `After Earth,' we have a father trying to command and control his son from a distance, but at the end of the day, once your child goes out of the house, you’ve taught them all you can – they have to learn the rest on their own. For me, in this movie, the extreme landscape makes these parent-and-child relationships huge, life-threatening.”

“That’s what we really responded to about this story,” says producer Caleeb Pinkett. “It’s exciting – set a thousand years in the future – but the real thing we responded to was that emotional core, the universal idea.”

The father also has to learn to trust the son. “That’s hard for Cypher, but it’s something we all have to do as parents – our children succeed or fail on their own, and all we can do as parents is watch,” says Will Smith. “It’s very much a coming-of-age story for both parent and child.”

Opening across the Philippines on June 5, “After Earth” is distributed by ColumbiaPictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

GMA7′s Party Pilipinas CANCELLED due to Multiple Violations of MTRCB Guidelines?

I was surprised when Party Pilipinas announces that they will air their final episode this Sunday May 19, 2013. Soon as I got the information, I called myfriend in GMA7 to confirm the veracity of the brouhaha. But to no avail, wasnt able to get the answers that time (maybe its weekend?) And yesterday, election day, they released a statement confirming the news.

Lilybeth G. Rasonable, OIC Entertainment TV of GMA Network:

“In a few weeks, there will be exciting changes in the Sunday noontime offering of GMA.

The new musical variety show will have more fun and thrilling elements that viewers must definitely watch out for, still with the biggest and brightest Kapuso stars.

More information on the show will be announced soon.”

With this changes, expect the latest news here on what to expect next on Kapuso Sunday variety noon time show. PARTY PILIPINAS is a Sunday Philippine music variety show broadcasted by GMA Network. The show premiered on 28 March 2010, replacing the defunct SOP Fully Charged. Now that Christian Bautista recenltly signed to the show, I hope that he will also be a part of thenew show on sunday.

Last February, Movie Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB)cracked the whip on GMA-7’s “Party Pilipinas” as it put the show on probation for six months over a “sexually-charged” dance number. While on probation, Villareal, quoting an MTRCB order issued February 7, said the program shall be placed on a per-episode basis, “which means that any violation of the MTRCB rules, laws and regulations would mean placing the program off air without prejudice to other sanctions.”

Shocking,

I saw a tweet from unofficial twitter account (fan based) timeline that it wascancelled due to multiple violations. This one I need to confirm with executives from GMA7.
