Crazy Rich Asians Actor Shows Donald Trump How (Not) To Wear A Tux

LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Paris Bureau) – When in Rome, do as the Romans do.  When in Great Britain, wear a tuxedo as the British do, especially when you’re visiting the Queen.

Most everyone has now seen a photo of US President Donald Trump wearing a tux to Buckingham Palace.  It was hard to figure out whether he was wearing an oversized vest or an undersized coattail, but his wardrobe malfunction has not escaped the discerning eye of the world’s fashion police,

So, The Adobo Chronicles asked Henry Golding, star of ”Crazy Rich Asians,” who by the way is half-British, to model for us and show Trump how to wear (or not to wear) a tux.

BBC’s Stephen Sackur Invites Bong Revilla And Mr. Bean To A Live Dance Showdown

LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Paris Bureau) – Stephen Sackur wants to do something different for an upcoming episode of his BBC talk show, “Hardtalk.” He wants a live showdown between Philippine Senatorial candidate Bong Revilla and British comedian Rowan Atkinson, more populary known for his TV character, Mr. Bean. Not an ordinary showdown, but a dance showdown.

The idea came from viral political campaign videos showing Revilla doing budots  dance moves as his way of courting votes. Mr. Bean apparently saw the videos and made his own to prove that he is a better dancer.
Sackur, who has endeared himself to Filipinos for his hard-hitting interviews with Philippine politicians like Senator Antonio Trillanes, says the dance showdown will be a first in British talk show history and could start a new trend not only in Great Britain but worldwide.
BBC has not announced a date for the television showdown.
