Michelle Madrigal goes topless in April 2012 issue of FHM

Oh la la! Everyone is going topless this summer 2012. Michelle Madrigal also goes topless in the April 2012 issue of FHM to the delight of their male fans. Maybe it's the summer heat that prompts them to go topless.

Michelle Madrigal started her career in 2004 with ABS-CBN Star Circle Quest. She then transferred to GMA 7. She played villain roles at the Kapuso channel, making the lives of the lead actresses a living hell.

On the FHM cover, a topless Madrigal was photographed sitting on a beach, wearing only a flesh-colored bottom, with her right leg and right arm strategically positioned to cover her breasts.

 “Summer isn't over for FHM! Feel the heat with our hot and sexy April cover girl Michelle Madrigal. Woohoo!” the magazine said on its Facebook page.

 The FB post immediately received over 3,075 likes and 266 comments, mostly positive.

“I will make sure to buy a copy,” FHM follower Roland Reyes commented on the magazine’s Facebook page.

"Like na like ko ‘yan ...nakakagigil ‘yang si Michelle,” Josel Madarang wrote on the comments.

Over at Twitter, celebrities congratulated Madrigal for the cover.

“Way to go sisterette,” her sister, Ehra, said on Twitter. “Grab a copy of my sister's, uber hot FHM cover for the month of April!”

Actress Maxene Magalona, host Raymond Gutierrez and talent manager Annabelle Rama also tweeted their greetings.

This is not the first time Michelle Madrigal has appeared on the cover of a men’s magazine. Michelle Madrigal first cover was for the now defunct Maxim magazine, and was also previously featured on FHM.

Michelle Madrigal told her Twitter followers on Thursday this:

 “Thanks for all the great comments about my FHM cover. Please grab a copy! Have a nice day,”

MADONNA IS BACK WITH MDNA

I got invited by MCA Music to cover Madonna's newest Album MDNA @ SM Megamall Covered Walkway A at the stairway near the new Bus terminal last Monday March 26, 2012.  The 53-year-old 'Queen of Pop' returns to the spotlight with her latest album "MDNA".

"MDNA" is the twelfth studio album by American recording artist Madonna. 

Madonna lost none of her ability to push boundaries. Uptempo record "MDNA" sees Madonna continue her love affair with dance music in an album dedicated to club-friendly tracks.

The pop icon has explained in a yahoo article that the meaning of her album is actually “threefold”—a reduction of her name, an abbreviation for "Madonna DNA," and a “reference to ecstasy” and the “euphoria” often experienced by its users.

 

The first single from the album, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" was released on February 3, 2012. The single peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, extending her record as the artist with most top-ten singles in that chart's history. The second single "Girl Gone Wild" was released digitally on March 2, 2012.

UP Pep Squad- the reigning University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Cheerdance Competition champions performed a flash mob (a performance of a group of people in a public place) at Sm Megamall, following the worldwide release of Madonna’s 12th studio album “MDNA.” 

The UP Pep Squad created a spectacle for the curious crowd, the team of Juan and Juana grooved, performed stunts and assembled pyramids to Madonna’s latest tunes.

The album’s first single, “Give Me All Your Luvin'” featuring Nicki Minaj & M.I.A, claimed the top spot on the Billboard’s most popular songs played in dance clubs chart for the week ending March 31.

"It's amazing to be back in music. I like the intimacy of a recording studio and songwriting. I'm using a different part of my brain when I work on music versus when I'm directing a film. There are a billion more people on a film and I don't have that visceral outlet of being able to sing, scream... jump around. It's very different. I love doing both but it was nice to have the simplicity of songwriting after three years of writing a script and directing and editing and talking about my film, to sit down and play my guitar and sing a song. I almost cried."

—Madonna talking about her comeback in music after hiatus for directing her film

 

MDNA, the sensational new album from Madonna is now out in CD's exclusively under MCA Music and available at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video or online via www.musicstore.com.ph. To download Madonna's music on your cellphone, text MDNA to 3456.

GARY V opens the summer season with a series of 8 concerts at the Music Museum, marking his 29th anniversary in the industry and the 25th year of his company Manila Genesis Entertainment & Management, Inc. Stricken by Type 1 juvenile diabetes for 30 years now, this unmatched performer has been a shining beacon of inspiration in the country and he remains complication-free and still, on top of his game. Gary has consistently inspired his millions of fans through his craft as a singer, musician, songwriter, video producer, dancer, actor, musical arranger and a multi-awarded television host/performer for 9 years on the undisputed top-rating musical variety show, “ASAP.”  

After visiting typhoon victims in Cagayan De Oro and Iligan for UNICEF, Gary V jumpstarted the year with a new segment on “ASAP 2012” entitled “With Love: Gary V” – a spin-off of his platinum CD under Star Records and his much-talked about television special which aired seven times on ABS-CBN and MYX in 2011 and twice on The Filipino Channel. The segment features Gary as he showcases stories of love, forgiveness, redemption, and faith while he sings songs that celebrate the beauty and goodness of humanity. “With Love Gary Valenciano,” the CD compiles the soap opera and movie theme songs which he performed and recorded for ABS-CBN and Star Cinema. Just this March, Gary, together with the ASAP team, flew to Cagayan De Oro to shoot a video with a courageous flood victim for his segment.  All these efforts led to “On Higher Ground,” a fundraiser for UNICEF and the Shining Light Foundation, two faithful partners dear to Gary V, who has been National Ambassador for UNICEF for 14 years now
