It’s hard not to fall in love with Sydney. It’s clean, efficient and modern, but with an old world charm that can’t be beat. The Land Down Under, in general, has always been a paradox to me.

Visibly unwell, Isay Alvarez still blew everyone away as “bodabil” queen Katy dela Cruz at the press preview of Spotlight Artists Centre’s “Katy” Thursday night. Tirso Cruz III (as Katy’s father) and Dulce (as one-time stage rival Olivia) were also excellent. But the real find is Aicelle Santos (of La Diva) as the young Katy.

It didn’t take long before life turned really, really crazy (in a good way, of course) for Slater Young after he exited the “Pinoy Big Brother” House. From living a relaxed and simple life in Cebu, Slater now lives a busy life packed with acting projects, events and endorsement gigs.
