Mla. Bulletin | U-Kiss to Return to RP for Concert
By Jonathan M. Hicap

Despite the disparaging comments made by DJ Mo Twister against them on Twitter, K-pop boy band U-Kiss will proceed with plans to return to the Philippines for their first ever concert at the Araneta Coliseum on May 29.
May 2, 2010 | 1:30pm
Despite the disparaging comments made by DJ Mo Twister against them on Twitter, K-pop boy band U-Kiss will proceed with plans to return to the Philippines for their first ever concert at the Araneta Coliseum on May 29.
The Manila concert kicks off the boy band’s Asian tour. After the Philippines, U-Kiss will also hold performances in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
U-Kiss, composed of Kevin Woo, Shin Dongho, Lee Ki Seop, Kim Kibum, Kim Eli, Alexander Eusebio and Shin Soohyun, debuted in 2008 with the hit album “New Generation.”
They are in a middle of a comeback trail after releasing their latest album “Only One,” which was released only last February.
As part of promotional tour for “Only One,” the group held a mall tour last March at SM Supermalls. They also did a couple of spots for TV including an appearance in “Party Pilipinas,” which caused a stir when DJ Mo Twister tweeted that the boy band looked like lesbians.
His comments have enraged fans demanding that he apologize immediately for his remarks. The fans even created a Facebook page to vent their anger against DJ Mo.
DJ Mo was quick to defend his remarks, however.
“I felt it’s in the same line as how critics dissect the Best and Worst Dressed at awards night. Look at their photo and be realistic, I am not off on my assessment—those dudes dress and look like chicks. If you find that offensive, why?” DJ Mo wrote on his blog.

Tohoshinki "Best Selection 2010" Out Now!
In the past two years TVXQ/Tohoshinki has reached one milestone after another in Japan. With a string of #1 singles, a platinum-selling album, a Tokyo Dome tour, and two consecutive Kohaku Uta Gassen invites to their name, TVXQ/Tohoshinki has not only achieved more than any other Korean music act in Japan, they've entered the ranks of Japan's top artists. TVXQ/Tohoshinki's first Japanese greatest hits album contains a selection of singles from 2005 to 2009 including their debut "Stay With Me Tonight", their first #1 single "Purple Line" and their 2009 hit ballads "Bolero" and "Stand by U". The album has most of their 2005 and 2006 singles like "Sky" and "My Destiny" so it's an especially good collection for those who may have missed TVXQ/Tohoshinki's earlier releases.
Back in February, the boys of TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki achieved their first ever Platinum (over 250,000 sales) for their single "Break Out!". Last Month, the RIAJ (Recording Industry Association of Japan) awarded the boys with Double Platinum for their "Best Selection 2010" album. Now the boys have achieved Platinum once again with their newest single "Toki Wo Tomete" which was released on March 24.

Phil. Star | Body Talk with Christian Bautista
FUNFARE by Ricky Lo
April 30, 2010 | 12:00 AM
For a new summer look. An image upgrade. An edgier appeal.
Those, ladies and gentlemen, are the factors that made the usually conservative, wholesome, sweet and virginal Christian Bautista shed his clothes but not (yet anyway!) his pants.
“I need to project a mature image naman,” said Christian who has just come back last week from Indonesia where he promoted his album of Bahasa songs (including Please Be Careful With My Heart, his duet with Indonesian pop singer Bunga Citra Lestari). “The Indonesians love Filipino music.”
Christian might go back there in June or July to do a concert and a movie, with a possible side trip to Malaysia and Singapore for more album promo.
Meanwhile, he has just renewed his contract with ABS-CBN, putting to rest the speculation that he’s jumping ober da bakod to another network.
“Working at ABS-CBN is like working with family and friends. I enjoy the people that I work with.”
So how did he prepare for his first ever “bold” pictorial?
“I worked out in Gold’s Gym every week...”

PEP.ph | Christian Bautista graces Take Celebrity Out show in Indonesia
In North Jakarta, Indonesia, at a studio called The Dome, Christian Bautista graced the live episode of Take Celebrity Out—a high-rating show in the country's leading network Indosiar—as one of the three celebrity male contestants.
As Christian's name was announced, he began singing from behind the screen, and had all the ladies in the studio screaming and cheering.
The dating game, which is a franchise of the FremantleMedia, tasked the Filipino star to search for "love" among the 30 famous single ladies—including the host of the show, Yuanita, who joined because of her huge crush on Christian.
The episode, which will be aired this week, ended with the audience picking Christian and actress Smitha, who both took home five million rupiah in cash.
LOYAL KAPAMILYA. Meanwhile, his latest single "Tetaplah Dihatiku," the Bahasa version of "Please Be Careful With My Heart," is said to be the number one song in Indonesia this month of April.

He is set to promote the Mandarin Chinese version with Kewei in Singapore next month.
But despite his successes in the other Asian countries, leaving the country doesn't figure in his immediate plans.
In fact, just last night, April 26, he signed his first network contract with ABS-CBN.
Present during the contract-signing were TV Entertainment Head Linggit Tan, Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal, ASAP XV Business Unit Head Joyce Liquicia, talent manager Carlo Orosa, and Channel Head Cory Vidanes, who told the STAGES talent, "Thank you for your loyalty!"
