First Brad Renfro, after 7 Days it’s HEATH LEDGER!

BRAD RENFRO  (1982-2008)

Brad Renfro is one of the Hollywood’s Childstar in the 90’s. siguro comparable siya kay Patrick Garcia dito sa pinas. He is one of the Ultimate Crush ng Ate kO! I remeber she had poster of Brad Renfro with Devon Sawa sa Wall namin nung mga bata pa kami. Not quite a shock, kasi tagal niya ring nawala sa Hollywood scene but we are shocked in a way kasi the actor was once loved by the fans and admirers (isa na dun ang ate ko!).

The News:

Renfro was found dead on January 15, 2008 in his Los Angeles apartment, after he had reportedly spent the previous night drinking with friends. The cause of death has yet to be determined. He is survived by one son, known only as “Y Renfro”.

NOW, THE SHOCKING ONE…….. (I’m a Fan of His……Shet!! why?!!)

HEATH LEDGER

(April 4, 1979 – January 22,2008)

THE ACTOR:

Heath Ledger was an Academy Award Nominated Australian Actor. He Developed an early Hollywood Carreer. He Starred in both Critical and Financial Success Films including The Patriot, Monster Ball and the Highly acclaimed and Praised movie of 2005, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. Ledger also completed his production for the forthcoming and most awaited film, THE DARK KNIGHT which he plaed as The JOKER.

He starred in The Patriot, Monster’s Ball, A Knight’s Tale, The Four Feathers, Ned Kelly, The Order, and The Brothers Grimm. In 2001, he won a ShoWest Award for the Male Star of Tomorrow based on his performance in The Patriot, and worldwide release of A Knight’s Tale. In 2003, he was named one of Australian GQ’s Men of the Year for acting.

In 2005, Ledger received a Best Actor in a Drama Golden Globe nomination for his acclaimed performance in Brokeback Mountain, in which he plays Wyoming ranch hand Ennis Del Mar, who has a love affair with aspiring rodeo rider Jack Twist, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. In the New York Times review of the film, critic Stephen Holden wrote:

“Both Mr. Ledger and Mr. Gyllenhaal make this anguished love story physically palpable. Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”

In another review in Rolling Stone, Peter Travers wrote:

“Ledger’s magnificent performance is an acting miracle. He seems to tear it from his insides. Ledger doesn’t just know how Ennis moves, speaks and listens; he knows how he breathes. To see him inhale the scent of a shirt hanging in Jack’s closet is to take measure of the pain of love lost.”

Ledger received “Best Actor of 2005” awards for Brokeback Mountain from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the San Francisco Film Critics Circle. He was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance. In the same year, Ledger played a fictionalized version of Giacomo Casanova in Casanova. The film, a romantic comedy which co-starred Sienna Miller, drew mixed reviews from critics and failed to find a significant audience among general moviegoers.

In 2006, Ledger was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 2007, he was one of six actors to portray different sides of singer Bob Dylan in the film I’m Not There.

On July 21, 2006, Ledger was officially confirmed to play iconic comic book villain The Joker in The Dark Knight, the sequel to the 2005 film Batman Begins, opposite fellow I’m Not There star Christian Bale. The film is set to debut on July 18, 2008.

The film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, in which he had been cast, was in production at the time of his death.

THE NEWS:

Ledger was found dead in his fourth floor apartment at 421 Broome Street in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City on January 22, 2008. Ledger’s body was found at 3:26 p.m. EST by a housekeeper and a massage therapist, who entered the bedroom to find him face down, naked, and unconscious at the foot of his bed with sleeping pills on a nearby night table. Police found more prescription medication in the bathroom but did not find any illegal drugs. In the weeks before his death, Ledger had been taking Ambien, a sleeping tablet that has reportedly caused bizarre behaviour and deaths.

In reaction to his death, former partner Michelle Williams was reported as saying that she was “devastated” at the loss and had boarded a plane to New York City. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd released a statement saying, “It was with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of Heath Ledger… It is tragic that we have lost one of our nation’s finest actors in the prime of his life.”

What a Commencement Speech!!!! Perfect!

[Conan O’Brien’s commencement speech to the Harvard Class of 2000]

 ***This one is very Funny***  Funniest that I’ve read in Pure English! I have hard time understanding some parts (coz it’s pure english & i’m still a filipino damn it! haha! just deff read it! ENJOY & HAVE FUN!)

I’d like to thank the Class Marshals for inviting me here today. The last time I was invited to Harvard it cost me $110,000, so you’ll forgive me if I’m a bit suspicious. I’d like to announce up front that I have one goal this afternoon: to be half as funny as tomorrow’s Commencement Speaker, Moral Philosopher and Economist, Amartya Sen. Must get more laughs than seminal wage/price theoretician.

Students of the Harvard Class of 2000, fifteen years ago I sat where you sit now and I thought exactly what you are now thinking: What’s going to happen to me? Will I find my place in the world? Am I really graduating a virgin? I still have 24 hours and my roommate’s Mom is hot. I swear she was checking me out. Being here today is very special for me. I miss this place. I especially miss Harvard Square – it’s so unique. No where else in the world will you find a man with a turban wearing a Red Sox jacket and working in a lesbian bookstore. Hey, I’m just glad my dad’s working.

It’s particularly sweet for me to be here today because when I graduated, I wanted very badly to be a Class Day Speaker. Unfortunately, my speech was rejected. So, if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to read a portion of that speech from fifteen years ago: “Fellow students, as we sit here today listening to that classic Ah-ha tune which will definitely stand the test of time, I would like to make several predictions about what the future will hold: “I believe that one day a simple Governor from a small Southern state will rise to the highest office in the land. He will lack political skill, but will lead on the sheer strength of his moral authority.” “I believe that Justice will prevail and, one day, the Berlin Wall will crumble, uniting East and West Berlin forever under Communist rule.” “I believe that one day, a high speed network of interconnected computers will spring up world-wide, so enriching people that they will lose their interest in idle chit chat and pornography.” “And finally, I believe that one day I will have a television show on a major network, seen by millions of people a night, which I will use to re-enact crimes and help catch at-large criminals.” And then there’s some stuff about the death of Wall Street which I don’t think we need to get into….

The point is that, although you see me as a celebrity, a member of the cultural elite, a kind of demigod, I was actually a student here once much like you. I came here in the fall of 1981 and lived in Holworthy. I was, without exaggeration, the ugliest picture in the Freshman Face book. When Harvard asked me for a picture the previous summer, I thought it was just for their records, so I literally jogged in the August heat to a passport photo office and sat for a morgue photo. To make matters worse, when the Face Book came out they put my picture next to Catherine Oxenberg, a stunning blonde actress who was accepted to the class of ’85 but decided to defer admission so she could join the cast of “Dynasty.” My photo would have looked bad on any page, but next to Catherine Oxenberg, I looked like a mackerel that had been in a car accident. You see, in those days I was six feet four inches tall and I weighed 150 pounds. Recently, I had some structural engineers run those numbers into a computer model and, according to the computer, I collapsed in 1987, killing hundreds in Taiwan.

After freshman year I moved to Mather House. Mather House, incidentally, was designed by the same firm that built Hitler’s bunker. In fact, if Hitler had conducted the war from Mather House, he’d have shot himself a year earlier. 1985 seems like a long time ago now. When I had my Class Day, you students would have been seven years old. Seven years old. Do you know what that means? Back then I could have beaten any of you in a fight. And I mean bad. It would be no contest. If any one here has a time machine, seriously, let’s get it on, I will whip your seven year old butt. When I was here, they sold diapers at the Coop that said “Harvard Class of 2000.” At the time, it was kind of a joke, but now I realize you wore those diapers. How embarrassing for you. A lot has happened in fifteen years. When you think about it, we come from completely different worlds. When I graduated, we watched movies starring Tom Cruise and listened to music by Madonna. I come from a time when we huddled around our TV sets and watched “The Cosby Show” on NBC, never imagining that there would one day be a show called “Cosby” on CBS. In 1985 we drove cars with driver’s side airbags, but if you told us that one day there’d be passenger side airbags, we’d have burned you for witchcraft.

But of course, I think there is some common ground between us. I remember well the great uncertainty of this day. Many of you are justifiably nervous about leaving the safe, comfortable world of Harvard Yard and hurling yourself headlong into the cold, harsh world of Harvard Grad School, a plum job at your father’s firm, or a year abroad with a gold Amex card and then a plum job in your father’s firm. But let me assure you that the knowledge you’ve gained here at Harvard is a precious gift that will never leave you. Take it from me, your education is yours to keep forever. Why, many of you have read the Merchant of Florence, and that will inspire you when you travel to the island of Spain. Your knowledge of that problem they had with those people in Russia, or that guy in South America-you know, that guy-will enrich you for the rest of your life.

There is also sadness today, a feeling of loss that you’re leaving Harvard forever. Well, let me assure you that you never really leave Harvard. The Harvard Fundraising Committee will be on your ass until the day you die. Right now, a member of the Alumni Association is at the Mt. Auburn Cemetery shaking down the corpse of Henry Adams. They heard he had a brass toe ring and they aims to get it. Imagine: These people just raised 2.5 billion dollars and they only got through the B’s in the alumni directory. Here’s how it works. Your phone rings, usually after a big meal when you’re tired and most vulnerable. A voice asks you for money. Knowing they just raised 2.5 billion dollars you ask, “What do you need it for?” Then there’s a long pause and the voice on the other end of the line says, “We don’t need it, we just want it.” It’s chilling.

What else can you expect? Let me see, by your applause, who here wrote a thesis. (APPLAUSE) A lot of hard work, a lot of your blood went into that thesis… and no one is ever going to care. I wrote a thesis: Literary Progeria in the works of Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner. Let’s just say that, during my discussions with Pauly Shore, it doesn’t come up much. For three years after graduation I kept my thesis in the glove compartment of my car so I could show it to a policeman in case I was pulled over. (ACT OUT) License, registration, cultural exploration of the Man Child in the Sound and the Fury…

So what can you expect out there in the real world? Let me tell you. As you leave these gates and re-enter society, one thing is certain: Everyone out there is going to hate you. Never tell anyone in a roadside diner that you went to Harvard. In most situations the correct response to where did you to school is, “School? Why, I never had much in the way of book larnin’ and such.” Then, get in your BMW and get the hell out of there.

You see, you’re in for a lifetime of “And you went to Harvard?” Accidentally give the wrong amount of change in a transaction and it’s, “And you went to Harvard?” Ask the guy at the hardware store how these jumper cables work and hear, “And you went to Harvard?” Forget just once that your underwear goes inside your pants and it’s “and you went to Harvard.” Get your head stuck in your niece’s dollhouse because you wanted to see what it was like to be a giant and it’s “Uncle Conan, you went to Harvard!?”

But to really know what’s in store for you after Harvard, I have to tell you what happened to me after graduation. I’m going to tell you my story because, first of all, my perspective may give many of you hope, and, secondly, it’s an amazing rush to stand in front of six thousand people and talk about yourself.

After graduating in May, I moved to Los Angeles and got a three week contract at a small cable show. I got a $380 a month apartment and bought a 1977 Isuzu Opel, a car Isuzu only manufactured for a year because they found out that, technically, it’s not a car. Here’s a quick tip, graduates: no four cylinder vehicle should have a racing stripe. I worked at that show for over a year, feeling pretty good about myself, when one day they told me they were letting me go. I was fired and, I hadn’t saved a lot of money. I tried to get another job in television but I couldn’t find one.

So, with nowhere else to turn, I went to a temp agency and filled out a questionnaire. I made damn sure they knew I had been to Harvard and that I expected the very best treatment. And so, the next day, I was sent to the Santa Monica branch of Wilson’s House of Suede and Leather. When you have a Harvard degree and you’re working at Wilson’s House of Suede and Leather, you are haunted by the ghostly images of your classmates who chose Graduate School. You see their faces everywhere: in coffee cups, in fish tanks, and they’re always laughing at you as you stack suede shirts no man, in good conscience, would ever wear. I tried a lot of things during this period: acting in corporate infomercials, serving drinks in a non-equity theatre, I even took a job entertaining at a seven year olds’ birthday party. In desperate need of work, I put together some sketches and scored a job at the fledgling Fox Network as a writer and performer for a new show called “The Wilton North Report.” I was finally on a network and really excited. The producer told me the show was going to revolutionize television. And, in a way, it did. The show was so hated and did so badly that when, four weeks later, news of its cancellation was announced to the Fox affiliates, they burst into applause.

Eventually, though, I got a huge break. I had submitted, along with my writing partner, a batch of sketches to Saturday Night Live and, after a year and a half, they read it and gave us a two week tryout. The two weeks turned into two seasons and I felt successful. Successful enough to write a TV pilot for an original sitcom and, when the network decided to make it, I left Saturday Night Live. This TV show was going to be groundbreaking. It was going to resurrect the career of TV’s Batman, Adam West. It was going to be a comedy without a laugh track or a studio audience. It was going to change all the rules. And here’s what happened: When the pilot aired it was the second lowest-rated television show of all time. It’s tied with a test pattern they show in Nova Scotia.

So, I was 28 and, once again, I had no job. I had good writing credits in New York, but I was filled with disappointment and didn’t know what to do next. I started smelling suede on my fingertips. And that’s when The Simpsons saved me. I got a job there and started writing episodes about Springfield getting a Monorail and Homer going to College. I was finally putting my Harvard education to good use, writing dialogue for a man who’s so stupid that in one episode he forgot to make his own heart beat. Life was good.

And then, an insane, inexplicable opportunity came my way . A chance to audition for host of the new Late Night Show. I took the opportunity seriously but, at the same time, I had the relaxed confidence of someone who knew he had no real shot. I couldn’t fear losing a great job I had never had. And, I think that attitude made the difference. I’ll never forget being in the Simpson’s recording basement that morning when the phone rang. It was for me. My car was blocking a fire lane. But a week later I got another call: I got the job.

So, this was undeniably the it: the truly life-altering break I had always dreamed of. And, I went to work. I gathered all my funny friends and poured all my years of comedy experience into building that show over the summer, gathering the talent and figuring out the sensibility. We debuted on September 13, 1993 and I was happy with our effort. I felt like I had seized the moment and put my very best foot forward. And this is what the most respected and widely read television critic, Tom Shales, wrote in the Washington Post: “O’Brien is a living collage of annoying nervous habits. He giggles and titters, jiggles about and fiddles with his cuffs. He had dark, beady little eyes like a rabbit. He’s one of the whitest white men ever. O’Brien is a switch on the guest who won’t leave: he’s the host who should never have come. Let the Late show with Conan O’Brien become the late, Late Show and may the host return to Conan O’Blivion whence he came.” There’s more but it gets kind of mean.

Needless to say, I took a lot of criticism, some of it deserved, some of it excessive. And it hurt like you wouldn’t believe. But I’m telling you all this for a reason. I’ve had a lot of success and I’ve had a lot of failure. I’ve looked good and I’ve looked bad. I’ve been praised and I’ve been criticized. But my mistakes have been necessary. Except for Wilson’s House of Suede and Leather. That was just stupid.

I’ve dwelled on my failures today because, as graduates of Harvard, your biggest liability is your need to succeed. Your need to always find yourself on the sweet side of the bell curve. Because success is a lot like a bright, white tuxedo. You feel terrific when you get it, but then you’re desperately afraid of getting it dirty, of spoiling it in any way.

I left the cocoon of Harvard, I left the cocoon of Saturday Night Live, I left the cocoon of The Simpsons. And each time it was bruising and tumultuous. And yet, every failure was freeing, and today I’m as nostalgic for the bad as I am for the good.

So, that’s what I wish for all of you: the bad as well as the good. Fall down, make a mess, break something occasionally. And remember that the story is never over. If it’s all right, I’d like to read a little something from just this year: “Somehow, Conan O’Brien has transformed himself into the brightest star in the Late Night firmament. His comedy is the gold standard and Conan himself is not only the quickest and most inventive wit of his generation, but quite possible the greatest host ever.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, Class of 2000, I wrote that this morning, as proof that, when all else fails, there’s always delusion.

I’ll go now, to make bigger mistakes and to embarrass this fine institution even more. But let me leave you with one last thought: If you can laugh at yourself loud and hard every time you fall, people will think you’re drunk.

Thank you.

#5.  Leona Lewis   “Bleeding Love“

Leona Louise Lewis is an English singer-songwriter and winner of the third series of the popular television talent show The X Factor.

Haay,, hirap talaga maka-influence ang mga Artist sa Uk dito sa Philippines! Puro American Singers talaga! kung hindi naman mga Canadian, Australian etc. BUT WAIT! I can’t get enough of this Artist! She’s One of the BEST around there! With her 5 OCTAVE voice comparable to Minnie Ripperton (yung kumanta ng lalala Loving you…) and Mariah Carey (know for her Great Vocals and her famous Whistle Register!). Grabe itong si Leona! No Wonder She Won X-FACTOR (yung ala Pinoy Dream Academy at Philippine Idol at American Idol sa UK!) and being the favorite of Simon Cowell (judge din siya sa The X-Factor!) grabe! we saw the same in Leona! She’s the VOICE sa Lahat ng TOP Female Artist sa PINAKA ko! well, pinakilala kolang siya sa inyo…(sa mga di nakakakilala sa kanya! She’s Really a Huge Fame & Name sa UK & the whole Ireland!) Mas malulula kayO sa mga Credits na nakamit niya sa taOng 2007 at kung bakit she’s behind those American Female Artist below her…HERE it it…..

*In its first day of release in the UK, Spirit was reported to be outselling its nearest rival, the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits album, by two-to-one. It sold over 130,000 copies on 12 November 2007, and entered the UK Albums Chart on 18 November 2007 at number one, having sold 375,872 copies. It was the fastest selling debut album in the UK since records began, beating Arctic Monkeys’ Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, and the fourth fastest selling album of all time. The album sales in the first week averaged at 200 per minute. In its fourth week of release, Spirit sold around 180,000 copies. In its fifth week it sold around 228,000 copiesand in its sixth it sold around 286,000. Spirit stayed at the top of the UK Albums Chart for seven weeks, and has so far sold 1,590,000 copies in the UK.

The album became the second biggest selling album in the UK of 2007 and the fastest million-seller by a solo female in the UK in just 29 days.

*The first critical review of “Bleeding Love” described it as “emotionally fuelled”, saying, “this track perfectly showcases Leona’s impressive vocal prowess and from the moment she opens her mouth we are instantly reminded about her amazing voice, capable of heart stopping intensity and a playful light touch.” Contrastingly, another critic expressed that “the inventive percussion can’t stop “Bleeding Love” from sounding dated, like filler on some long-lost, late ’90s Mariah Carey album. It’s one of those mid-tempo numbers — too slow for the club, too fast for the foxtrot. Actually, with its marching band drum beat, it sounds as much like Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” as a ballad can.” The critic continues to say, “On to the positive: Lewis wisely restrains her vocals, never devolving into those vocal acrobatics that have historically plagued Christina Aguilera.”

*It had sold around 107,000 downloads and 112,000 CD singles. In its second week, the single sold 158,370 copies, and in its third, it sold 111,978 copies, bringing the total sales to 489,153 and making “Bleeding Love” the biggest selling single of 2007 so far. At the end of 2007, after ten weeks, the single had sold a total of 788,000 copies and was the biggest selling single of the year.

According to VH1, “Bleeding Love” is the second most downloaded track in the UK in 2007, just behind Rihanna with “Umbrella”.

* The music video for “Umbrella” became the most played video ever on MTV Poland, beating Madonna’s “Hung Up”.
                                                                          ***CHART PERFORMANCE***
“Umbrella” spent seven weeks at number one in the United States and dominated radio airplay for the first half of the summer. On the issue dated June 9, 2007, “Umbrella” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart after a rising from the #41 position to the top, a jump of forty places. The track was downloaded a total of 277,000 times in the United States alone, the highest debut-week sum since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking downloads in 2003. “Umbrella” was Rihanna’s second number-one single (after “SOS”), and both songs have records for two of the biggest jumps to number one on the Hot 100 chart. At the same time, the song spent a month at number one in Canada, where it became the first song to top the new Canadian Hot 100 chart.

On the Billboard’s year end charts, the song was ranked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 recap, only behind Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable”

In New Zealand, “Umbrella” is the official number one single of the year.

“Umbrella” can be described as Rihanna’s breakthrough song outside the big markets. She topped the chart in countries where none of her previous songs had charted. For example, the song became a number one hit in most of the Hispanic American countries, and in some Eastern European territories.

In Australia it entered at #10 but then just after a week it climbed to #1. After two weeks it re-entered the Australian ARIA charts at #46. According to Fox FM “Umbrella” will probably be number one single again. Also it was classed as the number one song in Australia for 2007.

“Umbrella” topped the UK Singles Chart in May 2007 and stayed there for a phenomenal 10 weeks. This makes it the longest chart topper of the 21st century and the longest chart topper since “Love Is All Around” by Wet Wet Wet in 1994. The song was eventually knocked off in July 2007 by Timbaland. “Umbrella” is the second biggest selling single of 2007 in the UK, beaten by Leona Lewis’ Bleeding Love. It has since re-entered the UK Top 40 at #38 before climbing to #18 the week of December 30, 2007.

The song was #2 on VH1 “Top 10 Biggest Hits Of 2007”.

                                                                               ***Impact of weather***

The song’s reign at number-one in Britain happened when the country was hit by extreme rainfall and flooding, which led some people to jokingly suggest the two events were related, calling it the “Rihanna Curse”. Interestingly, the precise day the song was knocked from the No.1 position, the sun was shining and the weather cleared. A similar situation occurred in New Zealand, where the song hit number-one in the early winter of 2007 as the country was experiencing some of the worst storms in history. Interestingly, in Greece, “Umbrella” was released at a time when people were suffering through a summer of several major heatwaves topping 47C/117F, and the worst forest fires of modern history, killing 60 people. When the song peaked at #4 in the Greek singles chart in October 2007 (being one of the most successful international releases), the country began experiencing a rainy spell. It gained high airplay on radio, proving that it was one of the most successful international releases there (along with Nelly Furtado’s “Say It Right”). In Spain – where “Umbrella” topped the downloads chart for seven consecutive weeks and the Los40 Principales chart for four weeks in August, September and the beginning of October – the country had seen one of the wettest summers in decades, and the coldest August since the beginning of the 20th century.

*The album has had more success than her previous two and is still highly active on worldwide charts. To date, the album has sold more than 3.5 million albums worlwide, and has earned a platinum certification in the United States. Good Girl Gone Bad was the 13th best selling album of 2007.
*Praised by critics with positive reviews, the album received 6 Grammy Award nominations.

***CRITICAL RECEPTION***

Andy Kellman of All Music Guide said that “From beginning to end, Good Girl Gone Bad is as pop as pop gets in 2007, each one of its 12 songs a potential hit in some territory”.
For Billboard Magazine Clover Hope said “Ring the Alarm,” Beyoncé’s disgruntled-female anthem of 2006, was designed to take the normally tame vocalist out of her comfort zone and reveal her aggression. Rihanna’s third album, “Good Girl Gone Bad,” is like that times 10″.
Kelefa Sanneh of New York Times stated that “This CD sounds as if it were scientifically engineered to deliver hits. “Good Girl Gone Bad” should secure her place on pop music’s A-list”.
Pitchfork Media states “An unexpectedly varied and satisfying listen”.
Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly said that “Rihanna works well with edgier and wittier verse than on her two previous albums”.
Good Girl Gone Bad has reached the position of two on the Billboard Album Top 200. The album has also reached platinum status in the US.

The album received 6 Grammy Award nominations:Record of the Year, Grammy Award for Best R&B Song, Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for Hate That I Love You), Grammy Award for Song of the Year, Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for Umbrella (song) and Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording for Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna song).

The single was the most successful in the album in terms of chart perdormances. In Oceania, the single had the same reception peaking both Australia and New Zealand charts. Along with the single’s certifications gained during its charting period, it received several nominations parallel to its positive reviews.
*While many of the tracks from B’Day have been upbeat club-bangers, featuring heavy 808-driven beats, “Irreplaceable” was well-received by critics for its simple, guitar-driven melody. Bill Lamb of About.com gave the song four and a half stars, and characterized it as “one of the strongest” tracks from the album.
*For Entertainment Weekly, Jody Rosen said that the track was “a lilting tune unlike anything Beyoncé has ever performed,” while Billboard Magazine praised “Irreplaceable”‘s simplicity and “radio-friendliness,” noting that the “song dilutes the excessive instrumentation of B’s first two singles in favor of smooth drum taps and guitar strumming.”
*”Irreplaceable” won the Soul Train Music Award for “Best R&B/Hip-Hop Single: Female,” and the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Award for “Favorite Song.” Beyoncé also won Video of the Year at the 2007 BET Awards for “Irreplaceable” and also won Best Female R&B Artist of the Year.
*Much of the single’s success depended on its considerable airplay. On December 11, 2006,”Irreplaceable” passed the 200 million audience impressions mark in the United States, according to Mediabase. This achievement made Beyoncé one of two artists to have one or two songs pass the 200 million impression mark in a single year; the other artist was Mariah Carey in 2005 (with “We Belong Together” and “Shake It Off”). “Irreplaceable” had major cross-over success, becoming the first song to simultaneously occupy the number-one position on twelve Billboard charts on the week ending December 30, 2006, including the Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Pop 100, Mainstream Top 40, and Rhythmic Top 40 charts. “Irreplaceable” had the best radio audience week of Beyoncé’s career and the second-best sum in the chart’s history, with 201.9 million audience impressions. Only Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” bested that total; it garnered 223 million impressions during a week in July 2005.
*”Irreplaceable” was successful on 2007 Countdowns especially in the US’s Billboard’s 2007: The Year in Music, where it appeared on four spots. It took the top spot on Billboard Hot 100, beating rival single “Umbrella” by pop artist Rihanna. It also charted at number seven on Billboards Hot Dance Singles Sales, number seven on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs behind Lloyd’s “You” featuring Lil Wayne, and number nine on Billboard Hot Digital Songs behind Fergie’s “Glamorous,” In addition, it also took the spot on Billboard Hot 100 Airplay. Overall, it made to chart on United World Chart’s 2007 Countdown at number eighteen for selling 3,724,000; for the inclusive year, and on the chart’s Top Achievements from 1999-2007 at number forty-seven for selling 5,805,000; just below its 2003 predecessor “Crazy In Love.”
* “Irreplaceable” entered many charts around the world. The following table lists the various charts and peak positions.

Before we scoff at beauty queens, consider their circumstance: Strolling down steep staircases in stiletto shoes (ala Miriam Quiambao); hecklers in the audience (ala Ms.USA Rachel Smith); ; facial muscles paralyzed from smiling all night. And then they have to answer, “How do you subvert patriarchy while raising the national GDP of Rwanda?” (Oh! Naintindihan niyo ba yun?! tsk! tsk!)

Pinoy Celebrity Urban Legends

PINOY

CELEBRITY

Here are six incredible and even preposterous urban legends on local celebrities:

1. Snake CharmerFirst heard: Late ’80s.The lowdown: Robina Gokongwei has a twin, a giant serpent, whose secret lair is located beneath Robinson’s Galleria. When it’s time to feed the snake, a trapdoor opens in one of the Galleria’s fitting rooms, sending one unlucky shopper down through a maze of pipes and into the snake-pit. One day, Alice Dixon was in the wrong fitting room at the wrong time. Lucky for her, the serpent fell in love with her and decided to let her go.Truth factor: As likely as Alice resurrecting her career.

2. Lightbulb MomentFirst heard: Late ’80s.The lowdown: Richard Gomez is Jaime Zobel de Ayala’s paid lover. In the course of one intercourse, Zobel shoved a light-bulb up Goma’s rectum because he’s that kinky. Unfortunately, the glass broke and poor Goma had to be rushed to the emergency room.Truth factor: C’mon. Zobel, with all his riches, can afford to buy a titanium dildo. You actually think he’d use some cheap store-bought bulb?

3. The Elevator IncidentFirst heard: Early-to-mid ’00s.The lowdown: Ting. Elevator door opens. In walks Gretchen Baretto, also known to her family as Satan, and her entourage of yayas and bodyguards. Another woman enters the elevator right after her. Deeming the woman unfit to be sharing the same space as her (and her Bulgari jewels), La Gretta proclaimed, “please tell this woman to get off my elevator”, to which the woman retorted, “please tell this woman to get off my building.” It turns out that the woman is Mrs. Yuchencho, a member of the clan who owns RCBC plaza. Exit la Gretta.Truth factor: Smoke, fire, you know the cliche. Plus, she doesn’t really hide the fact that she’s an uber-bitch.

4. Miss Hooker WorldFirst heard: Mid ’90s.The lowdown: Ruffa Gutierrez may have lost the prized Miss World crown in 1993, but her exposure in that pageant helped turn her into a globe-trotting, world-class prostitute. With her mom as pimp, Ruffa snagged high-paying clients and eventually, settled down with Turkish mobster, Ylmaz Bektas.Truth factor: You know there’s a little truth to it when the source is your distinguished law professor.

5. Pinay Winona RyderFirst heard: Mid ’00s.The lowdown: Pretty, fair and demure Lucy Torres is a shoplifting freak. Her thievery has escalated to the point that she can’t shop without being followed by an assistant who pays for every item she’s lifted. A security camera at Rustan’s captured Lucy doing the Winona hand-trick and the footage found its way to the desk of Karen Davila. The Kapamilya station agreed not to air the video in exchange for unknown favors from Goma.Truth factor: There’s something quite off with Lucy. Maybe this is it?

6. Death in Dos PalmasFirst heard: 2002The lowdown: On March 29, 2002, at the Dos Palmas resort in Palawan, bedimpled matinee idol Rico Yan, now Saint Rico, died due to “cardiac arrest following a rupture of the pancreas.” Those in the know, however, claim that Rico overdosed with a cocktail of illegal drugs and that on the night of his death, Rico banged a hooker who was delivered and paid for by his dear friends, Dominic Ochoa and Jana Victoria.Truth factor: Isn’t it a little strange that they didn’t release his autopsy report?
