Sean O'Pry for Penshoppe

Ladies swooned over the chiseled features of the highest paid male model in the world Sean O'Pry when he appeared for a short press conference for international brand Penshoppe. Yes, he's endorsing them and it couldn't come at an opportune time but now. When he went up on stage, he was a little nervous because he didn't know what to say. Overwhelmed was his word and it was a good thing that he got to spend a few days in El Nido, Palawan - which he dubbed as paradise on Earth. 

Golden ABC Vice President Alice Liu says "Thank you for coming here today, we're happy to have you and Sean as he join a growing roster of celebrities. With his background in Fashion, Sean is the perfect guy for Penshoppe." also there was Penshoppe's CEO Bernie Liu and their Brand Director Jeff Bascon. They're inviting all of us to be in Penshoppe's fashion show which will also happen today at SMX. Men don't really come as sexy as this!

Taylor Lautner for Bench!

He's hot, he's a black belter in karate, smart and has got one of the nicest bodies that's even envied in Hollywood. Classified as an A list star, he's up in billboards, covers of magazines, TV and movies the world over. His name is Taylor Lautner and last week, we were invited for a secret launch where he was announced as the newest international endorser of lifestyle brand BENCH. Yes you heard that right, he's the new global #benchsetter and we previewed his fashion editorial too.

 

This lone wolf earned screams from fans the world over and when we saw a glimpse of who he is in the BENCH Tower's cinema at the Fort, I really felt that it was fate, it was meant to be because when they showed the clip, his real world wardrobe was actually so near with the Bench clothing, jeans and accessories that it scares me. It was like he was already wearing it all along.

His tough looking exterior was complemented with the comfortable sleeve shirts and the jeans had him look quite amazing even if he did back flips, Chinese get ups and worked the hell out of that warehouse location. Mind you, he was doing these scenes all by himself without the aid of stunt doubles. 

The editorial was shot by famed director Anthony Mandler, same person who did music videos for the biggest stars in the US and world over. He personally picked him to do this as a personal preference. He's got good taste, no wonder he' part of the Bench family!

A short interview with sir Ben Chan divulged information that this BIG Hollywood was actually very down to earth. He made sure his inputs were heard in every scene and takes time to spend time with the crew.

If it rains it pours... this is just a great year for Chris Brown as he was just named Billboard's Top Artist for the year 2008. This was the same feat he did back in 2006 so it really should not be a surprise. Artist's rankings are determined by album sales in Billboard. This also include mp3 or digital downloads, radio airplay and Live audio streams. No. 3 on the list was Rihanna, his girlfriend that sang hits like "Take A Bow" and "Disturbia," which was co-written by him also. Top five was my personal favorite Taylor Swift. Kumagcow congratulates Chris Brown for a great year, and more record breaking albums next year too! ^_^ It ain't gonna stop there of course!
