Sometimes referred to as US hottest governor, the former Miss Wasilly eloped with her highschool boyfriend when she was 24.  She then became an accomplished government executive being a mayor then a governor and is now one of the Repulican Party’s shining stars.  Oh and aside from running the state of Alaska with a high approval rating no less, she also runs marathons, hunts,  and is a self-proclaimed hockey mom.

Remember the movie, “The American President” with Michael Douglas and Annette Bening. This was a comedy-drama about a widowed US president and a lobbyist who fell in love. It just is a romantic story.

We see the Presidency as an office. We very seldom see the President as a mere mortal like us, falling in and out of love. The movie’s tagline summed it up: Why can’t the most powerful man in the world have the one thing he wants most?Indeed. Why not?

The French Version

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has the distinction of being the French President to have his wife leave him while in office, well, since Napoleon. But the divorced French Prez didn’t remain single long. He is now dating supermodel-turned-singer girlfriend Carla Bruni. Sarkozy and Bruni first surfaced as a couple earlier this month in French media on a visit to Disneyland Paris two months after the French president’s divorce from his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, who happens to be, yes, you guessed it, an ex-model. The longtime model Bruni, 39 an Italian-born French citizen has also dated a range of famous men, including Mick Jagger and Donald Trump, and has also reportedly been linked to singer Eric Clapton and actor Vincent Perez.

Yep, yep. Presidents are still human after all.

Sergey Brin(33),  the richest eligible bachelor in the U.S.  weds his long-time girlfriend Anne Wojcicki, a biotech entrepreneur. Ms. Wojcicky  (pronounced woe-JIT-ski) , widely known as  Woj, earned a degree in biology from Yale University. She did molecular biology research at the National Institutes of Health and University of California-San Diego before working as a health care consultant for Passport Capital, a San Francisco investment fund. She then co-founded biotech company, 23andMe, to develop ways “to help you make sense of your own genetic information”.

This is quoted from Valleywag:

Just how romantic is Sergey Brin? He falls for girl next door, well, from the house next to the garage where the Google founder, with Larry Page, first worked on the search engine. Brin resisted the temptations of models and airheads: even though, shockingly, girlfriend Anne Wojcicki was older than he; even after the Russian-born computer engineer, as the world’s most eligible billionaire bachelor, became a magnet for gold-diggers; and even though tycoons are expected to abuse their status. The couple were wed, in their swimsuits, under a huppah. Cute. But here’s the clinching evidence of true love: we hear that, though California presumes equal division of common property in the case of a divorce, Brin didn’t require a pre-nup. Aah.

Mr. Brin, you are a indeed a perceptive, intelligent, honorable and humble man who knows how to recognize a woman of substance.  Kudos to you and your lovely wife!

I read this forwarded message from my classmate Eric.  And I just had to repost it. 

Winners Losers : From Kris to Ruffa to Gretchen( Desperate Housewives Philippine Edition).
(Or are we reaping some sort of a negative karma to deserve them?)

The month of June is a good time to review what transpired for the first six months of 2007. For this edition, Conventional Wisdom is focusing On showbiz-related matters instead of the usual politics (which in a way is also show-biz but ……for ugly people). Read on.

Kris Aquino. Loser. While she is the innocent one in the whole James-Hope brouhaha, Conventional Wisdom thinks that she could have handled the incident with more dignity and privacy. One wonders why this drama queen wants to inflict her day-to-day saga with the whole planet. From exaggerating her “life-threatening” pregnancy, to lambasting her husband
In public (“O magsalita ka? Totoo naming pina-palayas na kita sa bahay a?”), to actually using Ninoy to promote a cake in her latest commercial. Kris’ next endorsement should neither be beer nor pastries but laundry Detergent for her unquenchable desire to always wash her very dirty underwear in public.

James Yap. Loser. One word : cad. As one As one writer succinctly said : “What do you expect from a provincial boy who suddenly became famous and wealthy?” The last time we witnessed a showbiz cad was during Gabby Concepcion’s time. James is now second in our list. Conventional Wisdom Is giving them maximum of 3 years as a couple. Kris is starting to look More and more mature and matronic. James is still young. Give James sometime, and after Hope – - Faith and Charity will spring forth.  Moral of the story. Smoking is bad for marriage: Kris had Philip, James had Hope. Conventional Wisdom can’t take any More of this!!!

Ruffa Gutierrez/ Annabelle Rama : The mother and daughter (MAD) team strikes again. From a filmfest scam that made it to CNN to a  Brunie-yuki scandal that merited a senate hearing, and now, the falling out with Ylmaz – - which is desperately being peddled out as  Philippines vs. Turkey, Oppressor vs. Victim.

Ruffa Gutierrez: Loser. A desperate act from a has-been, middle-aged B-actress who is trying to make a come-back by capitalizing on whatever publicity that can be squeezed out from this split. From caterwauling One minute “Hindi ko na kaya Kuya Boy!”, to coyly saying the following week “Ligawan nya (Ylmaz) ulit ako” to having her born again baptism rites
captured on cam and then heading off to Las Vegas  the following week to relax and do damage control (about his marriage five years ago in Las Vegas). Ruffa, you’re act is getting stale. You have become so predictable and boring.

Annabelle Rama. Winner. For always a character that she is. For Being consistent in her act and for being our constant source of amusement. Conventional Wisdom almost fell off its chair when this motor-mouth fish-wife asked Dolly Ann to return the cosmetics she gave her and then, proceeded on by actually naming two unknown women on national television To pay their debts to her since she now has to take care of Ruffa and her grandchildren : “Hoy, so and so…magbayad na kayo ng utang nyo sa akin dahil marami na akong papalamunin ngayon” or something to that effect. Panalo talaga si Bisaya. I strongly suggest to PGMA that we give this woman a postion in the government preferably as Head of our National Defense. Asap.  

Dolly Ann Carvajal. Winner and Loser. A lot of people don’t like this woman. For one, she is not pleasing to the eye. Her gay son looks a Lot better than she. And admit it or not, she became a writer thru her connections ? mom and aunt. But being objective about the whole thing, Conventional Wisdom thinks that Dolly Ann is on the right this time. Why can’t the mother and daughter (MAD) tandem just answer the questions Posed by Dolly Ann? Why can’t Annabelle stick to the issues instead of Pointing out something we already know : how ugly Dolly Ann is.

What makes Dolly Ann a loser is her constant use of her departed mom’s legacy and memory whenever someone would diss her out. Honey, stop Hiding under the skirt of your mom. You are not a sacred cow.

Pia Guanio. Loser. What a lousy lousy interviewer. The depth of her talent as a host is as long as her irritating mini skirts. Do us a Favor Pia, ask Bossing to marry you already and then fade into oblivion.

Gretchen Baretto. Loser. One word : Wow. The affectations of La Greta can only matched by her delusions of grandeur. From the looks of it, she is experiencing the early on-set of a mid-life crisis. She has Been picking fights left and right…with Lani Mercado, and then with Dawn Zulueta. From her classic statement about the looks of her own daughter “Naaawa nga ako dahil karamihan ng tao ang sabi kay Dominique, kamukha Sya ng tatay nya?”. And now the “friendly beso-beso” lip-lock with John Estrada. Please explain to Conventional Wisdom – - “How can this be a friendly kiss when you and John looked so orgasmic in that shot?

Gretchen is a classic example of “langaw na nakatungtong sa kalabaw, Pero feeling mataas pa sa kalabaw.” Someone should already tell this woman To seek professional help. Sober up and clean your act sister. You are no
Paris Hilton More like Plaster of Paris Hilton.

These are the people that are giving Conventional Wisdom constant Migraine the past months. If this trend continues until December, aneurysm can’t be far behind.

Pass this on until it reaches the following: Ylmaz Bektas, Mother-in-law of Gretchen., Hope,  PGMA.
