MILEY CYRUS: ‘SENATOR TOM COTTON AND I ARE NOT DATING!’

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Celebrity romances are always a favorite topic on social media and gossip tabloids. In most cases, news media are also in on them.

Last month, Philippine President Aquino was reported to be dating newly-crowned Miss Philippines Universe Pia Wurtzbach after the couple was seen having dinner — in the company of many other friends. Neither the bachelor president nor the beauty queen confirmed the dating status.

Now, singer Miley Cyrus is rumored to be dating Senator Tom Cotton, the same Tom Cotton who authored the open letter signed by some 47 Republican senators to Iran, undermining the Obama administration’s nuclear negotiations with that country.

The Arkansas senator once again made headlines this week when he said the gay community needs to get a perspective, given that in Iran, one can get executed for being gay.

The rumors started when Cyrus posted Cotton’s phone number on her Twitter account asking her fans to call the senator to express why freedom is “important to us & our country.”

In a phone conversation with The Adobo Chronicles, Cyrus unequivocally denied that she and Cotton were dating. “Just because I have his phone number doesn’t mean we’re seeng each other,” Cyrus said. She added: “Besides, I don’t date guys who wear purple shirts with a red tie.”

So there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth!

But you can still call Senator Cotton at (202) 224-2353 to express your outrage over his gay comment.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The biggest news coming out of the Office of the President in a long time was that NoyNoy Aquino had a date with Pia Wurtzbach just before the 2015 Miss Philippines Beauty Pageant finals held a few weeks ago.

President Aquino, a bachelor, has been frequently dodged with media questions about his love life, which, in effect amounts to zero, nada, zilch.

Wurtzbach, who ended up winning the Miss Philippines Universe crown, said in a post-pageant TV interview with Aquino’s sister, Kris, that she and the president are in communication. “He’s fun to talk to.”

(In that same interview, Kris promised Wurtzbach that she will be a good sister-in-law)

But did the couple really go on a date that night?

Not so, according to a close friend of Aquino.

Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) director-general Joel Villanueva, said Aquino and Wurtzbach were in a group date before the Binibining Pilipinas pageant night.

“I would say it’s a group date because it was an event eh so, magkakasama kami, (we were all together), ” Villanueva told reporters on the sidelines of a TESDA event.

So, let’s put a stop to the rumor mill. It was a threesome!

MISS PHILIPPINES PIA WURTZBACH WILL USE AN INTERPRETER IN MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT

March 25, 2015 Pol Pinoy 1 Comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Pia Wurtzbach’s answer to the final question during the recent Miss Philippines Beauty Pageant was memorable: “Always think before you click.”

However, it didn’t really directly answer the question on what she thinks about Internet censorship. (In a subsequent TV interview, she qualified that her answer meant that we need self-censorship.)

Wurtzbach ended up winning the Miss Philippines Universe crown, nonetheless.

As she prepares to compete in the next Miss Universe Pageant which will be held in Budapest, Hungary, Wurtzbach has been advised by Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) chairperson Stella Marquez-Araneta to have an interpreter should she make it to the 5 finalists. BPCI is the franchise holder of Miss Universe in the Philippines.

(Many Filipina candidates to Miss Universe made it all the way to the top 5 in recent years, but their answers to the final question always seemed to have cost them the crown.)

In an interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Wurtzbach confirmed that indeed, she will use an interpreter. “I will answer the final question in German.”

Wurtzbach is half Filipina and half German.

While the main language spoken in Budapest is Hungarian, a good 11 percent of its population speak German. So it may be a smart move on the part of Wurtzbach to speak her mind in German to better endear herself to the pageant audience as well as the judges.

We wish her the best and Viel Gluck! That’s “Good Luck!” in German.
