"What happened to the old Charice? She's dead like BB. " a friend exclaimed. Perhaps, wearing the trendy hairdo of one of the Padilla's (Daniel), a new photo of the 20 year old international singing sensation Charice Pempengco has surfaced the web. And as usual, it has become another laughingstock by most netizens who suspects Charice's sexual preference and odd choice of haircut.

Currently, the singer has remained mum over the new photo (along with the old ones) and no one could point out the identity of the mystery girl in the photo. Charice will probably answer this controversy after the May elections since she's busy going out of town as an international, national, regional, city-wide and barangay singer to electoral candidates and party list.

Vote Ladlad! Charot.

As Mia’s withdrawals worsen, she begins to unravel and attempts to flee, but is turned back by a frightening vision.
