Angel Locsin, second most sexy woman in the world

Angel Locsin, after all, has been voted the second most sexy woman in the world, just after that other heavenly looker, Angelina Jolie. When rumors proliferated of the Filipina beauty unclothed, searchers far beyond that country’s borders beat a hot path to the Web. Interest in the scandal and Angel’s pictures surged. Lookups for “angel locsin video” rose 625%. Other, more descriptive searches, raced upwards, too. But we’ll just leave it at that.

Angel Locsín (born Angélica Locsín Colmenares on April 23, 1985), is a popular Filipina television and film actress, commercial model, film producer, fashion designer, and product endorser who was introduced in GMA Network’s youth-oriented program, Click. Locsin rose to prominence after being cast as one of the lead stars in the fantasy-themed television series Mulawin in 2004. Soon after, she starred as the superheroine Darna in the TV adaptation of the popular Mars Ravelo comics hit. Locsin top-billed in several chartbusting films and is known as the screen love interest of Richard Gutierrez and Dennis Trillo. In mid-2007, Angel left her mother studio, GMA Network and signed an exclusive contract in ABS-CBN despite her booming career in GMA. She told in an interview with Boy Abunda that she is no longer happy in GMA and she is looking forward to have a better career in ABS-CBN.

Mischa Barton to star in lesbian film

Former O.C. star Mischa Barton is coming out on the big screen in Roland Joffe’s Russian coming-of-age drama Finding t.A.T.u., reports Variety.

The movie, adapted from the novel t.A.T.u. Come Back by Russian author A. Mitrofanov, follows the story of a lonely American teenager in Moscow who becomes friends with a local girl over their obsession with the gay-for-pay pop band t.A.T.u.

In 2000 t.A.T.u. caused international controversy with their music video single “I’ve Lost My Mind.” The video, which aired on MTV Russia, depicted the band’s two female singers dressed as Catholic school girls singing the song and kissing sensually.

With the release of the documentary Anatomiya t.A.T.u. in 2003, it became apparent that the girls’ sexuality was a publicity stunt.

The cast also includes Shantel VanSanten, Anton Yelchin, Alex Kaluzhsky, and Helena Mattsson. (The Advocate)
