Older Men Younger Women: Hollywood Relationships that Last

TV Star Guide Vol. 7 No. 74, February 2006

On the cover: The cast of the TV series CSI

led by Marg Helgenberger and William Petersen,

and magician Chris Korn (inset).

When I submitted this article, “Older Men Younger Women: Hollywood Relationships That Last,” my editor asked why the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes union was not included. I told her, I don’t think it would last because Cruise was, allegedly, quite a philanderer. But she insisted, saying they were the “hot” news at the time. My only regret was that the part about Carlo Ponti-Sofia Loren was removed to give way to “The TomKat Affair.” As of this posting, Clint Eastwood and Dina Ruiz were already divorced. Their marriage, nonetheless, lasted 16 years. And the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes marriage lasted just a few years.

Also in this TV Star Guide February 2006 issue are a few “Love Quotes from the (Hollywood) Stars.”

“..... What GOD has joined together, let not man separate.” – The Gospel According to Matthew 19:6, Holy Bible, The New King James Version.

“The kind of fasting I want is this: Remove the chains of oppression and the yoke of injustice, and let the oppressed go free. Share your food with the hungry and open your homes to the homeless poor. Give clothes to those who have nothing to wear, and do not refuse to help your own relatives. Then my favor will shine on you like the morning sun, and your wounds will be quickly healed.” – The Book of Isaiah 58:6-8, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version.

Know Your Cyber-History

MOD Vol. 37 No. 1816, September 4, 2006

On the cover: Carmina Villaroel

Here’s a research-extensive article, “Know Your Cyber-History” spanning more than two centuries (pp. 28-33. There are seven more pages about “Healthy Surfing” and “What You Should Know About Computer Virus” published in the magazine but not included in this post). I got to hand it to the editorial assistants and staff of MOD. They provided the pictures and graphics. Kudos to all them. Atlas Publishing was lucky to have MOD and its people. Too bad, it didn’t have the marketing savvy to continue its publication in the Internet Age.

Also in this MOD September 4 2006 issue is a write-up on “Hollywood Celebrities Trivia” (pp. 56-57).

“For GOD will reward every person according to what he has done. Some people keep on doing good, and seek glory, honor, and immortal life; to them GOD will give eternal life. Other people are selfish and reject what is right, in order to follow what is wrong; on them GOD will pour out His anger and fury.” – Paul’s Letter to the Romans 2:6-8, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version.

Bits of information collected from American celebrity and fashion magazines, and the Internet, made into two short articles: “Hollywood’s Shifting Trends” (p. 22) and “Something Good from Hollywood” (p. 52).

“Let us give thanks to the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the merciful Father, the GOD from whom all help comes! He helps us in all our troubles, so that we are able to help others who have all kinds of troubles, using the same help that we ourselves have received from GOD.” – Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 1:3-4, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version

A Second Rate Trying Hard Copycat

MOD Vol. 37 No. 1809, July 10, 2006
On the cover: Regine Tolentino

For someone who grew up reading Darna and Captain Barbell on komiks and had the privilege of being mentored in komiks script writing by the “Maestro of Komiks” himself, Mars Ravelo, I am bound by conscience to write this article after watching GMA-7’s Captain Barbell (2006). The title, “A Second Rate Trying Hard Copycat?” was not to degrade Captain Barbell but rather to call the attention of people concern with regards to blatant plagiarism.

Also in this MOD July 10, 2006 issue is the article “Body-Beautiful” (pp. 52-53), which is about the things that Hollywood actresses do to stay fit and sexy.
