Mini Biography
Raven-haired beauty Jordana Brewster was born in Panama City, Panama on April 26, 1980. She was raised in London, England up until the age of six. At this time, her family decided to move back to their native Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Here, they would stay for the next 4 years.jordana brewster fast and furious jordana brewster debsmichelle rodriguez megan fox.

Jordana learned to speak fluent Portuguese during her 4 year stay in Rio de Janeiro. At the age of ten, Jordana's family decided to move again, only this time they would relocate to Manhattan. It was here where Jordana studied at Sacred Heart, an all-girl Catholic school before moving on to the New York Professional Children's School.

It was in her teens that Jordana began to make a name for herself by appearing two of daytime television's longest-running soap operas, "All My Children" (1970) and "As the World Turns" (1956), where she played the role of "Nikki Munson" for three years.

Jordana also went on to co-star in the NBC mini-series The '60s (1999) (TV). The year 1998 marked her big-screen debut as "Delilah Profitt" in the teen-driven film, The Faculty (1998).

However, it was her role as "Mia Toretto" in the blockbuster hit The Fast and the Furious (2001) that led her to reach Hollywood stardom. Despite her success,

Jordana continued to attend Yale University, in the class of 2003.

A young actress with dark-haired good looks and a strong personality, Jordana Brewster was born in Panama City, Panama, on April 26, 1980; her father,

Alden Brewster, is a successful investment banker, while her mother, Maria Jaao, is a former model whose resumé includes an appearance in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

Mr. Brewster's career dictated a certain amount of traveling, so Jordana lived in London, England, until age six, then spent four years in Rio de Janeiro, before settling in New York City at age ten. While studying at the New York Professional Children's School,

Jordana was bitten by the acting bug, and at the age of 15 she landed the role of Nikki Graves on the soap opera As the World Turns.

The same year, Jordana was also cast in a supporting role on another soap, All My Children; her run on All My Children was less than a year,

but she continued to appear on As the World Turns until 1998. 1998 also marked Jordana's big-screen debut as the sharp-tongued Delilah in the teen horror opus The_Faculty, while a year later she was cast in a showy role in the popular miniseries The_'60s.

After graduating from high school, Jordana was accepted at Yale, but took time off from her studies to resume her acting career, appearing in two films in 2001, including the box-office blockbuster The Fast and the Furious.

While subsequent roles in D.E.B.S and Annapolis found the emerging actress climbing the credits list with impressive ease, the fact that both films went laregely unseen after receiving only lukewarm reception did little to slow the determined Brewster down.

Lea Salonga Reacts on Willie Revillame's Decision Not To File Libel Case Against Her, et al


Internationally recognized Pinay theater actress Lea Salonga said she felt relieved knowing that Willie Revillame decides not to pursue the libel case against them and other artists whom Willie thought were attacking her on twitter.

"I mean, obviously that's a relief. However, I don't know if you can file a case against someone who's just expressing his opinion," Lea said during the Avon's 125th year party.

Lea added, "My thing is, you know what, you are in showbiz. You are and I am an open target... So you know what, anybody can say anything they want. Just don't make me muraand I will respect what they say. Huwag nila akong murahin. Rerespetuhin ko ang opinion nila."

It will be recalled that on April 8 during the last live airing of Willing Willie, Willie threatened to file a libel case against Lea, Bianca Gonzales, Jim Paredes, Aiza Seguerra, Agot Isidro, Tuesday Vargas, K Brosas, Leah Navarro and Mylene Dizon who publicly expressed their opinions about the controversial Jan-Jan Suan Willing Willie child abuse issue.

NEWS5 Will Go To The Vatican To Cover Pope John Paul II Beatification


Mula mismo sa Vatican City, kaisa ang NEWS5 sa paghahatid ng mga kaganapan sa beatification ni Pope John Paul II o ang proseso tungo sa paggagawad ng paka-santo sa isang indibidwal na napatunayang nagdulot ng himala. Sa misang gaganapin sa Holy See sa Mayo 1, hihirangin ang Santo Papang pinakaminahal ng buong mundo bilang 'Blessed Pope John Paul II' matapos ideklara ni Pope Benedict XVI na isang milagro ang paggaling ng isang madreng Pranses mula sa sakit na Parkinson's.

Naatasan ang batikang reporter ng NEWS5 na si Joey Villarama upang mag-ulat ng mga pangyayari mula sa Vatican. Tinatayang daan-daang libong debotong Katoliko ang sasaksi sa beatification anim na taon makaraang mamaalam ang Santo Papa noong Abril 2, 2005.

Ihahatid ng NEWS5 sa pamamagitan ng Aksyon TV Channel 41 ang misang pangungunahan ni Pope Benedict XVI sa Mayo a-Uno mula alas-kwatro ng hapon hanggang alas-sais y medya ng gabi oras dito sa Pilipinas.

Patuloy na minamahal ng mga Pilipino ang namayapang Santo Papa dahil sa ipinamalas nitong pagkalinga sa mga Asyano partikular na sa mga Pilipino. Dalawang beses na bumisita ang Santo Papa sa Pilipinas - noong 1981 at noong 1995 kung saan ipinagdiwang dito ang World Youth Day na dinaluhan ng mahigit pitong milyong Katoliko. Dahil sa umaapaw na suporta ng mga Pilipino sa Santo Papa, ang Catholic festival na ito ang itinuturing na pinakamalaking pagtitipon sa kasaysayan ng Kristyanismo.

Mag-uulat naman sa lahat ng newscast ng TV5 at Aksyon TV Channel 41 si Joey Villarama para personal na ikwento ang mga pangyayari sa beatification.

Antabayanan ang daan tungo sa pagka-santo ni Pope John Paul II sa NEWS5.

Sean Bean Wallpapers

Shaun Mark "Sean" Bean born 17 April 1959 is an English film and stage actor. Sean Bean is best known for starring roles in the films Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, GoldenEye, Patriot Games, Troy, National Treasure and Silent Hill, as well as the television series Sharpe. Sean Bean has also acted in a number of television productions, most recent being HBO's Game of Thrones, as well as performing voice work for computer games and television adverts. As a boy, Sean Bean ran with his local street gangs, but turned to boxing in his teenage years. Aimless and discontent, Sean Bean worked in the cheese department at a supermarket, and eventually as a welder in his father's shop. He was 20 when he signed up for his first acting class, and friends thought the idea was so out of character they teasingly suggested he might be gay. Soon, however, Sean Bean was a working actor in local stage productions, and soon after that he was finished with selling cheese. At 24 he landed his first film role, the rarely-seen Winter Flight, and for the next few years he worked on both stage and screen.

In 1988, the 27-year-old Sean Bean starred opposite Tommy Lee Jones, Melanie Griffith, and Sting in the gangster flick Stormy Monday. Through the mid-1990s, he played a cocky British military officer, Richard Sharpe, in a series of fourteen British TV movies based on the novels of Bernard Cornwell (Sharpe's Honour, Sharpe's Company). In America, Sean Bean has mostly been cast in spy movies and cop roles. He has menaced Harrison Ford in Patriot Games and James Bond in GoldenEye. In the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he played Boromir of Gondor. Bean married and divorced Abigail Cruttenden, who played his wife in the Sharpe TV movies.

Santa Caterina e Villa Taranto quasi off limits per i motoscafisti. Si chiedono pontili come Stresa e Baveno

I turisti ci chiedono di visitare Santa Caterina del Sasso sulla sponda lombarda, ma non possiamo portarli: non è possibile attraccare»: a denunciare la situazione sono i titolari, una sessantina, dei motoscafi del servizio pubblico non di linea della sponda piemontese del Lago Maggiore. L’amara sorpresa è arrivata per Pasqua, quando è stato aperto il nuovo pontile d’attracco nei pressi del monastero: progettata per accogliere i battelli del
servizio di linea della Navigazione Lago Maggiore, la nuova struttura ha di fatto eliminato la possibilità di attracco per i motoscafi non di linea.

«Come Confartigianato - spiega Amleto Impaloni -, abbiamo raccolto le segnalazioni dei motoscafisti ed evidenziato già a marzo all’amministrazione provinciale del Vco la situazione».

«E’ evidente la discriminazione verso alcuni operatori e la ricaduta negativa sul comparto proprio all’avvio della stagione», aggiunge. I rappresentanti dei motoscafisti non escludono di rivolgersi al garante della concorrenza. La situazione degli attracchi a Santa Caterina era già abbastanza precaria in passato ma senza giungere all’impossibilità di fatto di ormeggiare le imbarcazioni per sbarcare i turisti.

Solidarietà ai titolari delle licenze di trasporto pubblico non di linea su acqua è stata espressa anche dal presidente della Provincia Massimo Nobili, che ha inviato una nota al suo collega di Varese.

Ma l’impossibilità di attraccare a Santa Caterina è solo la punta dell’iceberg sul fronte delle difficoltà di attracco dei motoscafi. Un altro punto critico è il porto di Villa Taranto, altra attrazione di assoluto rilievo per i turisti presenti sul lago. L’attracco avviene in modo precario vicino a una stretta scaletta in granito posta sul lato dello scalo della Navigazione Lago Maggiore con notevoli difficoltà per la discesa e salita dei turisti, soprattutto in caso di vento.

I motoscafisti negli ultimi anni hanno invece impegnato risorse per migliorare la sicurezza dei pontili di attracco a loro affidati in concessione: in molti casi a Stresa, Baveno e sulle isole le passerelle in legno sono state sostituite con quelle in metallo dotate di corrimano per una maggiore sicurezza.

Rimane ancora aperta anche la questione dei pontili riservati ai mezzi di soccorso sulle isole Bella e Pescatori: le difficoltà in questo caso sono state denunciate a più riprese dal presidente della squadra nautica di salvamento Massimiliano Sabatini. «In caso di malori o di incidenti a turisti e residenti i nostri interventi sulle isole sono resi difficili dalla mancanza di attrezzature di attracco», spiega. I pontili per gli interventi di emergenza sono stati finanziati già due anni fa dalla Regione, che ha affidato i lavori al Comune di Stresa. Il ritardo nell’avvio dei cantieri, già appaltati, sarebbe secondo l’amministrazione stresiana da imputare al livello delle acque del lago e all’inopportunità di intervenire in piena stagione turistica.
"CONFARTIGIANATO «Discriminazione evidente a favore del servizio di linea della Navigazione»"

Soap Discussion - April 2011

Another month comes to an end, so here's some thoughts on the soaps from that month...

Coronation Street: Not necessarily a remarkable month for the show if I'm being honest, apart from the fact that John's unraveling should lead to a good exit next month but apart from that and the double weddings of David/She Demon Kylie and Graeme/Xin, the rest of it was rather tedious with the contrived way of splitting up Eddie/Anna and the somewhat rushed return of Todd with posh totty Jools and Marcus and Sean catching up. I already know where Sean and Marcus's storyline is going as well and I'm not sure I care that much. Still, it's better than anything concerning Steve/Becky/Tracy though.

Emmerdale: Now this was a dull month to be honest that really nothing stood out too much. Cain sleeping with Amy just basically reinforced his inability to keep his dick in his pants and Chariry chickening out on getting even with him irritated me to no end. Also, like Faye, Maisie and Will, Ryan was given a pretty duff exit and the feuding between John and Declan over the farm was anything but riveting. Even the Aaron/Jackson storyline managed to bore but that could be done to my own hang ups about where it's going to go though.

EastEnders: Ah, finally the resolution of the baby swap storyline. Ronnie ended up finally doing the right thing and giving Kat/Alfie back baby Tommy and creating even more ripples as a result. Luckily we had Jean on hand, wasn't it when it came to Kat? Elsewhere, Tanya/Greg's wedding wasn't riveting until she starting kissing Max, Whitney's return just happened and the writers tried to make me care about Heather's lovelife and Mercy being threatened with deportation. Well, I did say tried but it was a better month for the show regardless.

Fair City: Okay spending most of the month being falsely accused of being a paedophile but then ending the month by killing off the rather harmless Sarah was another. You have to hand it to Barry - the man is both horribly unlucky and spectacularly messes up and having Denzo an ally/blackmailer is also just as unfortunate. It's also one of the best storylines they've done this year and anything is better than the show's usual commentary on the character's financial struggles.
Hollyoaks: Silas strikes again. He might have failed to do in Lindsay but he managed to bump off Jenny/Rebecca during her own failed attempts to con him and while I don't feel sorry for either Doug or Brendan, I do like how her death is having major consequences for the characters. Sil;as is definitely shaping up to be one of the best soap villains and given the way he was looking at Mercedes last night, it looks like he has another victim lined up in the next few weeks. On a less positive note though, can the show do away with the Amy/Lee/Leanne triangle already? Maybe Leanne could just bugger off already.
