sharon & kc!

Filipina megastar Sharon Cuneta and daughter, KC Concepcion, who is a big star herself, performed during the memorial weekend holiday at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and in Reno, Nevada.

Tita Jackie Regala of Katz Entertainment reported that both shows were hugely successful. I personally know of some out-of-state fans who came to watch the mother-daughter tandem perform.

Los Angeles fans need not worry. Sharon & KC will hit the southland on June 12 when they perform at the Shrine Auditorium.

Below is an excerpt of a review of the Paris Las Vegas show written by Dymphna Calica-La Putt:

Mega 30 concert

Sharon Cuneta's show last Saturday, May 23rd was a mega-success. Aiming to relive her 30 years in Philippine show business thru her songs, the MegaThirty USA concert tour kicked off at the Paris Las Vegas that night. And relive was what her fans did that night.

Clad in a shiny black ensemble, the Megastar belted out songs that she made over the past three decades and that made her the well-loved movie star that she is. From the cutesy Mr. DJ, to the haunting Kahit Konting Pagtingin, to the cult-favorite Maging Sino Ka Man, Sharon did not disappoint fans who were longing for a trip down memory lane with their idol.

The highlight of reminiscing came when KC Concepcion, Sharon's 24-year old daughter, came on stage to sing the theme from Dear Heart with her. Dear Heart was the first movie that Sharon Cuneta made with former love teammate and erstwhile husband Gabby Concepcion. This movie changed my life forever, she told her teary-eyed audience that night.

While KC stayed on to sing a couple more songs from her own album, fans commented on how she talked like her mom and looked like her dad. Obviously, the sight of KC brought back memories of a young Sharon to most of the audience.... Sharon also sang songs that showcased her vocal abilities. While the youthful crystal-clear voice that audience first heard 30 years ago- was replaced by a deeper, more mature tone, her emotive ability remained spectacular.

who is abby?

no disrespect to the late francis magalona but someone sent me below pictures and i thought i'd share them with you.

the guy lo0ks strikingly like the late filipino rapper. the girl's name is supposed to be "abby" and they were supposed to be a couple. never heard of any rumors linking francis m to anybody before, so this could not be real, but judge for yourself.

here are the pictures.

go nerds!

the national spelling bee airs tonight from washington d.c. on abc.

and just to be clear, this post's title is by no means an affront. if you search related stories about this week's bee championship, all spellers agree to only one thing: nerds rule - if only this week, that is.

13 year old and 3-time finalist kavya shivashankar (pictured studying) is expected to take the crown this year.
