The hashtag annoying everyone on social media; Obama-mania in Manila; the return of Sophie Kinsella; and the LA Clippers scandal

It’s been a crazy week on the Internet this week, with many little explosions being tripped left and right. But then, when is the Internet never crazy?

Ang #labo mo, #laboracay

“I want to kill whoever invented the hashtag ‘Laboracay,’” said one of our Facebook friends. At first, we thought it was giving the country’s top tourist spot a European definite article, as in “The Boracay,” except that Laboracay is the unhappy marriage of the words “labor” and “Boracay.” No, Boracay has not been declared as the “it” destination for giving birth, but Laboracay pertains to those who have been planning to spend their Labor Day weekend on the beach. Preparations include putting in time grunting, squatting and crunching at the gym in order to get super-cut abs and a thigh gap so wide a volleyball can easily pass through.

Happy 10th fetch-eversary, Mean Girls!

It’s been a decade—yes, we’re that old—since the favorite quotable movie “Mean Girls” hit the big screen. Ten years later, the lovable LiLo is not so lovable anymore, meanest girl Regina George/Rachel McAdams is now America’s (occasional) sweetheart, and Amanda Seyfried’s boobs can’t really tell the weather, but she’s super big-time now. Of course, let’s not forget the writer behind “Mean Girls,” Tina Fey, is now a legit superstar.

Becky’s back!

Our favorite shopaholic returns in Sophie Kinsella’s latest installment, “Shopaholic to the Stars.” This time around, Becky Bloomwood-Brandon channels her inner Rachel Zoe and takes LA by storm when she decides to become a personal stylist to the stars.

Obama-mania in Manila

The real Air Force One (not the club) landed in Manila last Monday with POTUS Barack Obama. We wished FLOTUS Michelle Obama joined him at the Malacañang state dinner, where old Filipino favorites were given modern twists, like lobster kilawin carpaccio, lapu-lapu with pili nut crust, US prime rib inasal, buko lychee sorbetes, and a special polvoron from Casa San Miguel in Zambales.

LA Clippers’ boss clipped for racist remarks

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially in LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s case. His girlfriend released an audio clip of Sterling spewing racist remarks, and now Sterling’s reputation in the NBA is forever tarnished. NBA commish Adam Silver banned Sterling from attending games and dealing with NBA and the Clippers for life. The owner was also fined $2.5 million, and is being pressured to sell the team.

Porn for the planet

Time reports that a popular adult site will plant a tree (not bushes) for every 100 videos streamed on the site’s specific categories. For all the men sowing wild oats out there, who knew you could save the planet hand over fist?

Krissy’s web

Kris Aquino was once again the talk of the Internet when footage of the TV host interviewing “Spider-Man 2” stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Jamie Foxx were uploaded online. In her interview with Andrew, she bragged how her movie, “My Little Bossings,” kicked Spider-Man’s butt at the local box office. Bimby, however, delivered the line that mortified Kris when he let slip that she fell asleep 30 minutes into watching the first “Spider-Man” film. Meanwhile, she called Emma “not so nice” when the actress failed to answer Kris’ questions with her usual enthusiasm. Questions like, “Can a long-distance relationship work?” was not something Emma felt like answering. And third time really was the charm when, during Kris’ interview with Jamie, she called herself as the “Oprah Winfrey of the Philippines,” then proceeded to beg Jamie to steal Oprah away from Stedman. Either Kris is a big Jamie-Oprah ’shipper or it’s her way of secretly telling Jamie that, if he can’t have the real Oprah, maybe he’d consider going out with the Oprah of the Philippines instead.

The Return of the Jedis

“Star Wars” fans received an advanced May the 4th present when casting for the Episode VII film was announced last Wednesday. Adam Driver of “Girls” joins the cast, starring in a role where he’s fully clothed (we think) for once. Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher will be reprising their respective roles. A crossover between the Harry Potter world and the Galactic Empire is happening, too, as Domhnall Gleeson, who played Bill Weasley in the “Harry Potter” movie franchise will join the roster of actors in Episode VII (geek-splosion!).
