Pacquiao's 'ritual' scripted?

IT was a day of celebration when Manny Pacquiao barreled his way up to boxing supremacy after he knocked out Briton Ricky Hatton.

The MGM Grand in Las Vegas was a full house that even well-known celebrities such as Denzel Washington, Mariah Carey, rapper Jay Z and P. Diddy, Jack Nicholson, Russel Brand and others were there while superstar wrestler Batista (who's Italian-Filipino) stood as 'bodyguard' for Pacquiao.

To keen observers, it was interesting to see our prized fighter seemingly confused for the first time after he knocked out Hatton.

If we will watch the fight all over again, we will see that he was signaled by an American to do his ritual of kneeling down in prayer.

The world knows how religious Manny is. Fight after fight he does this. He even has a Nike ad shirt with him kneeling down the corner of the ring.

But this time, it seemed he needed someone to remind him of what to do after winning. Was it scripted? Just asking...
Only You, FIRST DAY ONLY?

HAVING a popular star in a daily soap is great. And if you put two stars, or yet three together, do we see a surefire hit?

So ABS-CBN has come up with secret ingredients in "Only You", the formidable triangle of Sam Milby, Diether Ocampo and Angel Locsin.

The cooking drama comedy show reportedly got a 39. 2% rating on its initial episode.

But is it true that said high rating never remained constant? Dessert, anyone? Just asking...

WITH TALENT COMES RIGHT ATTITUDE

FOR young stars of our generation, it's a blessing for them to have worked with stars that have more knowledge because of their wide experience in the industry.

That's why young bloods Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu and Jake Cuenca should have all the reasons to appreciate having the chance to gain wisdom from veteran actors and actresses working with them in their soap, "Tayong Dalawa. "

But can they sustain the right attitude? Just asking...
