QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Actress and television host Kris Aquino has just added a new title to her name : Tell-all Queen.

The younger sister of President NoyNoy Aquino is known as the ‘Queen of All Media’ and the ‘Oprah Winfrey’ of the Philippines (or so she wished).

Her newest accolade came just days after she publicly revealed details of her botched romantic relationship with former child actor and now mayor of Quezon City Herbert Bautista.

In a post on her blog titled “The State of My Heart,” Aquino described how after a few months of being in a relationship, a “tired” Bautista popped “the least romantic proposal a woman has ever received.” She apparently said ‘yes’ to Bautista’s marriage proposal.

Aquino is known as a celebrity who can’t seem to keep her personal life in wraps. Previously, she made public what she described as her abusive relationship with a married politician, Joey Marquez,  and accused him of giving her a sexually-transmitted disease.

Recently, amid rumors that her president brother was ‘dating’ Miss Philippines-Universe Pia Wurtzbach, Aquino promised — during a live broadcast — that she would make for a great sister-in-law.

Speaking to reporters today, Aquino said she was humbled but very appreciative of the new title given  to her and promised to do her best to live up to it.

‘SOUTH PARK’ SUES YELP FOR $20 MILLION

Leave a comment

imageSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Yelp Inc. has filed a $10 million dollar lawsuit against the creators of South Park, seeking damages caused by the latest episode of the popular television show which lampooned the customer review and local business rating website.

In response, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the animated series, filed a $20 Million counter lawsuit claiming that by suing South Park, Yelp has caused them irreparable emotional distress and unnecessary creative distraction.

South Park is also asking the court to order Yelp to pay an additional $10 Million for the publicity received by the rating website as a result of the TV episode.

Paul Horner, who is a spokesman for Yelp, promised to contest the counter lawsuit and urged all Yelp users and critics to go online and give South Park a rating of 1/2 star (out of a possible 5).

Both the Internet and Television worlds are closely watching the lawsuit and counter lawsuit, describing them as a classic battle between “Goliath” and “Goliath.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered Saturday Night Live (SNL) to have each of the remaining 36 Republican presidential candidates host a future episode of the late-night comedy television show.

SNL had previously announced that Donald Trump will host the November 7 episode, prompting complaints from the rest of the Republican  candidate field.

FCC rules mandate that if free airtime was granted to a candidate over the public airwaves, equal time had to be made available to his or her opponent, if it was requested.

Well, all of Trump’s opponents requested equal time.

So there you have it, for 35 weeks after November 7  viewers will be treated to a GOP presidential candidate hosting SNL, starting with Ben Carson.

On the Democratic side, since Hillary Clinton appeared for a short segment of SNL recently, each of the Democratic presidential candidates (except Jim Webb who dropped out of the race today) will be given  the same amount of time on the show.

That, folks, is how Demoracy works!
