Jessica Simpson’s With White Short Hair Style

Jessica Simpson’s tousled waves made her win as one of the 5 winners in the hottest hair in Hollywood. Jessica’s hair has bits of layers reaching below the shoulders. Her hair is slightly layered with a few short strands around the face.

These strands turn into a longer length at the back which moves the hair out of her face and stay in a much better position at the back. In this hairdo, there is no need to blow-dry the hair to be smooth. It’s good to retain the natural wave that holds the curl.

You can start the process by using a mousse in dampening the hair. When it’s time to diffuse, you can use your fingers to tousle the hair instead of using a round brush which can cause hair straightening. This way, the navy texture of the hair is retained.

If you want to simulate a natural curl pattern, you can use 2 sizes of curling irons, size of 1” and 1.5” barrels. Use the larger iron at the top portions of the hair starting from the temple to make a volume and a looser wave. Have a random curl sections to exude a slight casual and natural appearance.

OPENING NUMBER

Sa opening number, pinatugtog ang "I Gotta Feeling" ng Black Eyed Peas at sinabi ni Robin sa mga manonood na "It's nice to be back!" Nagpakitang-gilas din ang action star sa pamamagitan ng pagtalon mula sa railing at mag-front roll. Nagkaroon naman ng fireworks sa stage bago lumabas si Kris at nagsabi sa audience: "Kung sabi ni Robin na he's back, I'm here to stay!"



STAR-STUDDED PILOT EPISODE

Aside sa exciting line-up of new games, marami ring big star ng Kapamilya network and dumalaw, nag-perform, at nagbigay ng kanilang wishes para sa show.

Una sa listahan si Piolo Pascual na dumaan lang para batiin ng host at staff ng show.

Join naman si Jericho Rosales, Christian Bautista and Bianca Manalo sa bago nilang game na "Yaman ng Bayan" kung saan sila Karylle at Duncan Ramos naman ang naging singer para sa segment.

Kabilang naman sa mga nag-perform ay sina: Cristine Reyes to promote her upcoming teleserye "PHR Kristine", Concert King Martin Nieverra sings with Christian Bautista, Charlene Gonzales dances with King of Talk Boy Abunda na isa sa sorpresa ng show kay Kris na kilalang close friend ng Presidential sister.

Kasama rin sa nag-perform ay sina KC Concepcion, Juris, Xyriel "Momay" Manabat, Zaijian "Santino" Jaranilla, Ejay Falcon at ang daughter ni Robin na si Queenie Padilla na very proud sa kanyang daddy na hinde lang daw action star, singer kundi host na din.

Sa umpisa pa lang ng show ay nabanggit na ni Kris na gusto nyang i-play ng DJ ang favorite song nya this days. At di pa nga natatapos ang show, napilit na nyang ipakanta ang "It Must Have Been Love" kay KC. Di naman nagpatalo si Mariel, pinakanta din nya kay Juris ang song nya na "Kapag Ako ay Nagmahal" na patungkol kay Robin.

AUDIENCE

Kabilang sa mga nanood ng pilot episode ng Pilipinas Win na Win sa studio ay ang anak ni Kris na sina Josh at Baby James, business unit heads Lauren Dyogi, Deo Endrinal, Corporate Communications head Bong Osorio at ang members of the press.

STUDIO SET, GAMES, STAFF

Nang tanungin ang business unit head ng show na si Jay Montelibano kung ano ang mga bago sa Pilipinas Win na Win, sinabi nitong tiyak na maraming masisiyahan sa mga mapapanood nila. "The set will stay. Yung staff naman saka yung mga dancers, they will stay. Pati si 'Congratulations' [April Gustilo], she'll stay. It's the game segments that will see really total change. Naka-tailor fit talaga yung segments for Kris and Robin at kino-complement pa rin naman nina Mariel, Valerie at Pokwang."

Dagdag ni Jay, magiging kaabang-abang ang bagong kombinasyon ng mga hosts. "We know, of course, Kris as being the Media Queen, and bihasa na siya sa pagho-host ng mga ganyang palaro. Robin has the charisma. It would actually be an interesting combination. Iisa kasi yung adhikain nila, yung mapasaya yung tao. So both have the heart. Both have the passion. It's very, very interesting to see the mix."

Ngunit higit pa sa mga hosts, inihayag ni Jay na ang bagong hatid na palaro at papremyo ang mas lalong magbibigay-saya sa mas maraming Pilipino. "Focused ang Pilipinas Win na Win sa indibidwal, barangay, pamilya at sa lahat ng Pinoy sa buong mundo. Mamimigay pa rin siyempre ng milyong papremyo. Pero ngayon, mas maraming mananalo. Kasi kung dati, yung games ay one-is-to-one. Ngayon, mas pampamilya at mas pangmaramihan. It's interactive with the barangay at may palaro para sa pamilya," ani Jay.

Mapapanood ang Pilipinas Win na Win, mula Lunes hanggang Sabado, 12nn, sa ABS-CBN.

Bon Appetit

Julie and Julia-wonderful movie.
Meryl Streep at her finest. How they made her look tall was a revelation.
Amy Adams turned in a good performance. She was likable.
Stanley Tucci was charming and sweet.
No idea who the guy was that played Amy Adam's husband, but he was vaguely cute.
Love the idea of a cooking blog, who would have thought?
And the references to Joy of Cooking, only to find out that the author didn't test out all of her recipes; no surprise there. I found that book to be boring and tasteless (it was a wedding present) and threw it out.
All in all a good movie. Had a blast watching it with my daughters.
Haven't had enough of Julia Child? There are tons of videos of her online. One of my favorites is of her on the David Letterman show, hysterical.
Bon Appetit.
