Hollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – First, she revealed that she had eye surgery so that she would look less Asian to land an on-air TV job. Then she recently announced on her TV show that her grandfather was a polygamist.

‘Big Brother’ host Julie Chen has all the trimmings of a TV personality that would do everything to keep her ratings at the optimum level. And it seems to be working.

So what’s next?

Investigative reports from TMZ and People magazine may have uncovered what appeared like a three-year strategic plan prepared by her publicist in which her next major announcement would be that she is a transgender woman. It may seem to answer one of frequently asked questions about her low, baritone voice.

The Adobo Chronicles could not independently confirm the reports.

WHITE HOUSE EXECUTIVE CHEF REVEALS OBAMA’S FAVORITE FILIPINO FOODS

September 17, 2014 Pol Pinoy 8 Comments

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – It is common knowledge that Ronald Reagan loved mac n’cheese. Bill Clinton, before his heart bypass, indulged in jalapeño cheeseburgers. How about Barack Obama?

In an exclusive interview with White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford, she indicated that Obama does not have one particular favorite food. “But he loves Filipino cuisine,” she said.

Comerford, a Filipino American, has so far served as executive chef under three U.S. Presidents – George W. Bush, Clinton and Obama. She is the first woman and the first of Asian descent who has served as White House executive chef.

“There are so many Filipino foods that the president likes, but on top of his list is halo-halo, the Filipino version of the Hawaiian shaved ice,” Comerford said. Asked to name the top ten Filipino foods fancied by Obama, Comerford gave us the following list:

1. Halo-Halo (shaved ice)

2. Dinuguan (pork blood stew)

3. Balut (duck embryo)

4. Adidas (chicken feet)

5. Kinilaw na Kambing (ceviche-style goat meat)

6. Tocino (sweet cured pork)

7. Laing (spicy taro leaves)

8. Pinakbet (Filipino version of ratatouille)

9. Crispy Pata (Deep-fried pork knuckles)

10. Kare-Kare (Tripe and vegetables in peanut sauce)

Asked how often Filipino food is served to the Obamas, Comerford, with a wink in her eye, said, “That’s classified information!”

INVESTIGATION: JOAN RIVERS’ DOCTOR SUFFERING FROM SELFITIS

September 17, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Atlanta, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles) – CNN is now reporting that the late Joan Rivers’ doctor is suffering from Selfitis, a condition just recently classified by the American Psychiatric Association as a mental disorder.

On August 28, Rivers went into the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic for an outpatient procedure on her vocal chords performed by Dr. Lawrence Cohen. Then, another doctor, identified by sources as Joan’s “personal ear-nose-throat physician” did a biopsy of her vocal cords. It was during the biopsy that Rivers went into cardiac arrest. She later died on September 4.

The CNN investigative report quotes an eyewitness who said that Joan’s personal doctor took a selfie photo inside the procedure room just before she stopped breathing. The photo was taken while Rivers was under anesthesia, according to the eyewitness, a “staff member” at Yorkville Endoscopy clinic.
