NEIL PATRICK HARRIS ON FINDING AMY IN “GONE GIRL”
Gillian Flynn’s massively popular, nail-biting bestseller “Gone Girl” adapted to screen by director David Fincher and produced by blockbuster filmmakers Arnon Milchan, Joshua Donen with Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon (also as producer) takes Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike at the center of a couple’s marriage that has gone from bliss to national issue when the Mrs. vanished on the day of their fifth year wedding anniversary.
Nick Dunne arrives home on his fifth wedding anniversary to find the front door ajar, furniture strewn in the living room and not a single trace of his beautiful, semi-famous wife. Thus begins his instant public transformation from fortunate husband to man flailing in the media spotlight. Tagged as the proverbial suspect No. 1, the former town golden boy erupts in a series of lies, deceits and inappropriateness that does him no favors. His media persona is not pretty: he has disappointments; he has resentments; he has the kinds of secrets that feed imaginations. But is Nick a killer?
The entire cast, each of whom puts Nick under a different microscope – investigating Nick, defending Nick, suspecting Nick -- impressed Affleck. He says: “There are a lot of interesting choices. Tyler Perry has never done this sort of character, Carrie Coon is so unexpected as Go, and Neil is a brilliant choice because he’s so fearless and you have no idea what’s really going on inside him. This casting is the sign of a director whose interest is in always surprising the audience.”
Among the possible suspects in Amy’s disappearance are former boyfriends, including Desi Collings, Amy’s long-suffering ex from prep school who, though breathtakingly wealthy, has continued to write her lovelorn letters. Taking the role is stage, screen and television star Neil Patrick Harris.
Harris gained notoriety on the small screen as the much-adored title character in “Doogie Howser, M.D.,” a role which also garnered him a Golden Globe nomination. Created by Steven Bochco and David E. Kelley, the television comedy-drama ran for four seasons and told the story of a brilliant, young doctor who faced the problems of being a normal teenager.
Like so many, Harris was stunned by the novel. “It was one of my favorite books of all time,” he says. “I loved that Gillian was able to write so perceptively from the point of view of both sexes. It was also among the most unsettling books I’ve read. I felt it really broke down the myths of what relationships are and this whole fairy tale ideal that partners can always share everything.”
Desi, Harris notes, has his own fairytale ideas of who Amy is and how they might end up together. “He’s somewhat delusional,” observes Harris. “But your first lover never really leaves you and Amy was certainly that for Desi. So he’s blinded by this undying idea that they’re meant to be.”
Harris notes that Desi is not alone in his reaction to Amy, though he has his own reasons. “Amy seems to have a strong power over everyone in her life but especially men who desire her,” he says. “She kind of sucks you into her vacuum. I think Desi is a little socially off, so he likes the idea of that. He’s rich but he’s the recipient of family money that was never earned so he doesn’t have a strong sense of himself. I see him as weirdly fragile in his own right. There’s something heightened about him, but I felt I really needed to understand why he behaves the way he does.”
Working with Fincher for the first time was also a revelation. “I’ve been a big fan of what he has created on screen but watching him create in person made me even more so,” he says. “He has such deep passion for the entirety of the filmmaking process -- from light refractions and dolly moves to pacing and the written word. He is a true director in the most dynamic sense.”
Harris especially enjoyed Fincher’s way of peering into the infinitesimal details of performance. “It felt like we were all in a kind of meditation together,” he says, “and you knew by the time David was happy, a scene had been distilled to its essence. I think he’s a visual poet, nay, a sculptor. He takes a moment and chips away until he gets at something true.”
Neil Patrick Harris recently concluded his run as the womanizing Barney Stinson in the hit CBS comedy series, “How I Met Your Mother,” a role which has garnered him multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominations, as well as two People’s Choice Awards for Favorite TV Comedy Actor, and a Critics’ Choice Award for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Harris is a five-time Emmy Award winner for his guest-starring role on "Glee," and his role as host of the 63rd, 65th, 66th and 67th Annual Tony Awards. He also served as host and producer of the 61st and 65th Primetime Emmy Awards, as well as the 67th Annual Tony Awards. Named one of the “2008 Entertainers of the Year” by Entertainment Weekly, Neil was included on Time Magazine's 2010 Time 100 List, an annual list of the world's leading thinkers, leaders, artists, and heroes.
Find out what happened to Amy in “Gone Girl” when it opens in cinemas nationwide on October 8 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

NYOBG BARES ALL THIS OCTOBER AT PAGCOR
Looking for an exciting late night show? Drop by any Pagcor branches and watch Benj Bolivar, Carlo Sawit, Maui Lumba, PJ Go, Avery Paraiso, Kaye Chua, Junnel Manansala, Jennica Ollero, and Nicole Koffman in their Not Your Ordinary Variety Show (NYOVS) this October.
Catch them live on October 11 (Casino Filipino Angeles), October 16 (Casino Filipino Hyatt), October 25 (Casino Filipino Ronquillo), October 30 (Casino Filipino Pavilion), and October 31 (Casino Filipino Tagaytay).
“It’s going to be a fun, fun night. All the audience need to do is to take the backseat and enjoy the ride. The NYOBG will take care of the rest.” That’s how Benj described NYOVS this October.
Carlo shared that his excitement never diminishes despite the numerous shows they have done. “It always feels like the first time. You gotta have this kind of mindset so you will look forward to every performance and not think of it as pure work. Di naman nakakasawa because we have different themes each month. New clothes, new gimmicks, new music to pump up the crowd.”
Chinese cutie PJ admitted there are still a lot in store for the audience. “Kahit marami na kaming naipakitang performances, may ihihirit pa kami. We don’t run out of ideas to make NYOVS better each time. We thank our management, Backroom Inc., because of the relentless support we receive. Kaya naman lalo namin pinagbubuti ang aming trabaho.”
Maui added, “Siyempre we thank our fans and the audience. Iyong iba nga sa kanila, dinadayo pa kami kung saan kami nagpe-perform. We feel appreciated and loved. We’re thrilled when we hear good feedback. Nakakataba ng puso and we’re inspired to do better not only in NYOVS but in our respective careers. It also proves that we did the right thing by joining showbiz.”
Kaye is used to walking onstage – either as a performer or as a beauty title holder (the last one being a 3rd Runner Up and People’s Choice Award in Ms. Manila 2014). “Like I previously said in an interview, it should go way beyond having fun when it comes to your career. You should feel comfortable and be sure of yourself because when you are, what you’re doing won’t feel like work anymore and that’s what I feel when I’m on stage.”
Avery considers each show as an opportunity to improve himself as an artist. He said, “Marami akong pinaghuhugutan ng inspiration to be a better performer, at isa na rito ang NYOVS. I learned to work harder and to be more comfortable because of our Pagcor shows.”
Jennica enthused, “I want to gain more experience and exposure. I’ve made up my mind to grab all the opportunities knocking on my doorstep.”
So for those going to watch NYOVS this October, Junnel chortled, “It will be a fun-filled night full of surprises and music. Bawal ang kill joy! Dapat lahat ay masaya. Dapat lahat ay chill lang.”
Nicole promised, “We assure you that the shows are a feast to the senses – spectacular production numbers and highly-infusing beats. Everything is prepared to give only the best to the audience.”
Special guests are Krazy Chikz and other Pagcor artists.

Samsung Digital Appliances Saturdate bonding with moms and kids at Chef Guevarra's
Samsung Digital Appliances marked the date on September 27, Saturday with moms and children at Chef Laudico Guevarra's restaurant at Addition Hills San Juan. It was a day to remember as Filipino chef couple and Samsung Digital Appliances ambassadors, Rolando and Jackie Laudico, joined moms and kids whipped up a simple yet delicious Pork barbecue stuffed sweet potato rolls to everyone's delight with the Samsung Microwave oven and showed how the new Samsung Showcase Refrigerator could make a difference in every filipinos kitchen, with its optimum use of space, made for the family in mind.
Upon seeing the new Samsung Refrigerator I knew right away that this should seat in my kitchen as it becomes my dream refrigerator upon I laid my eyes on them, with its classy and sleek design. Samsung introduces the latest kitchen innovation in their product lineup. The new Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator delivers unparalleled organization and provides optimum use of space to help make kitchen life more organized.
The concept was born after the Samsung Design team investigated families’ everyday lives and how they use their refrigerators, noting that the typical refrigerator design has become inconvenient to the modern lifestyle. when someone doesn’t know where something has been stored, he or she takes a long time rummaging through the refrigerator until the item is found.
”When preparing dishes at our restaurant, it’s always important to have our ingredients readily available. with the high kitchen traffic, we can’t afford to waste time looking for ingredients as the viands should always be readily available for our customers.” said Chef Lau “While at home, we always aim to prepare healthy yet delicious meals for our children so it’s important for us to have a refrigerator that keeps healthy produce like vegetables fresh so we won’t have to constantly replace them. ”
With these insights, Samsung’s product developers were determined to create a refrigerator which not only helps families stay organized and keep their food fresh but also looks beautiful in the kitchen.
Be more organized
The Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator features two layers that optimize the use of space and provide clearly defined zones for frequently used food. it comes with three functional zones – the Cooking Zone, which stores frequently used items, such as eggs, cheese and sauce bottles; the Family Zone, which stores items for the entire family like beverages and fruit; and the Kids Zone, which stores children’s snacks and is located at the lower part of the Showcase considering the height of children. This customized storage space allows all users to easily find items that they need accordingly.
The lnner Case keeps groceries fresh, as it is located deeper within the fridge, behind the outer Showcase, making it the perfect place to store and preserve perishable items such as vegetables, fruits and meats.
Enjoy more space
As compared to standard refrigerators, which have shelves and compartments that aren’t fully used, the Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator maximizes every inch of available space. The location and dimensions of each zone was a top consideration when it came to the design and development. To truly study this, the design team collected everyday food items and ingredients, such as beverages, snacks and sauces, and identified the heights and surface areas of each item to determine the optimal locations.
In addition, the ice Master is built into the door, providing valuable extra space by freeing up two additional shelves in the freezer. New to the Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator is the Ice and Water Dispenser feature, which delivers refreshing chilled filtered water with a touch of a button.
The Slide & Fold Shelf adds extra flexibility to storage. it can be easily removed, folded up or raised and lowered to fit in any sized items, including tail and bulky containers, so there’: no wnsied -spare.
Save time
With the Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator, all frequently used Items have a designated easily accessible space.
This helps users save time when it comes to food preparation. With frequently used items stored in the Cooking Zone, customers will no longer need to rummage through the refrigerator and allow them to keep a close eye on which items are used more often.
Keep food fresher for longer
Food also stays fresher for longer in The Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator. its unique features retain cool air within the refrigerator even if the Showcase door is frequently opened, and ensure an even and constant temperature from top to bottom, front to back. This assures customers that food stays fresh, no matter where it is stored or how often the door is opened.
The Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator is a premium home appliance, enhancing the modern lifestyles of customers with its beautiful design and creative storage solutions, which make lives more organized and ultimately easier. it is also equipped with Digital inverter Technology that provides energy savings efficiency and guarantees durability as it comes with a 10 year warranty”‘.
“Truly, one of the most important items you can have in your kitchen, both at home and, in our case, at work is a refrigerator that keeps your environment organized.” said Chef Lau “Which is why we are happy to have the Samsung Food Showcase to make our kitchen life easier.”
The Samsung Food Showcase Refrigerator (with Ice and Water Dispenser) is priced at Php 139,900 and Php 129,900 for the basic model. Available at all authorized Samsung dealers nationwide.
Everyone had a grand time exploring every nook of Chef Laudico Guevarra's renovated house turned into restaurant. It is indeed a haven of good food, with its classic interior. Samsung Digital Appliances treated the media and their kids to a sumptous buffet breakfast. It was a Samsung Saturday made to remember with moms and children.

UNIQLO Launches Ines dela Fressange Fall Winter 2014 Collection
To those who did not know, tall, beautiful and skinny Ines de la Fressange started out as a model and muse in the 80s for Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel and also was named International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1998. She is an aristocrat and a daughter of the Marquis de La Fressange , a total embodiment of french chic, with a style all her own, timeless and elegant.

Ines del Fressange in the 80s |
Inspired by the success of the first collaboration for Spring Summer 2014. Uniqlo unveils its second collaboration with French fashion icon Ines de la Fressange as part of its Fall Winter 2014 collection. The Ines dela Fressange Fall winter 2014 collection was presented to the bloggers on September 26, 2014 at the UNIQLO store SM Mega Fashion Hall. An OOTD contest for the fashion bloggers was held and the winner took home a trench coat, just by uploading a selfie at Instagram or Twitter styling their favorite Ines dela Fressange collection. What I like about IDLF collaboration is that, there is a hinge of the 80s in it. The floral tweed coat was a fixture in the 80s scene with its playful details. This collection is an iteration of UNIQLO’s LifeWear.
Commenting on the second collaboration line, Ines de la Fressange said, “I wanted to retain the spirit we created in the Spring Summer collection. I love things that are unadorned, genuine, and comfortable to wear. For the Fall Winter items, I wanted to create lovely things that have the same elegance. One of the traditional European fabrics I wanted to include was tweed. With coats and jackets, the fabric and cut are important, and it was a real treat for me to be able to incorporate playful details and enjoy styling the clothing freely.
I try to take the position of women today, and come up with ideas that take account of such factors as closet space and budgets. No one can live surrounded by unlimited clothing. Having many items is not necessarily a good thing, and it’s important to have ‘good clothes’, The point I wanted to express with the new collection is that even without a detailed fashion knowledge, women can find something beautiful to wear. They can have a full wardrobe. The Fall Winter collection is even better than I expected, and I’m extremely pleased with the elegant line.
Design Director Naoki Takizawa said, “Like the streets of Paris, where novelty and beauty can be found in the constant blending of diverse elements throughout the city’s long history, this is a collection of essential apparel that quietly radiates through the styling. It is clothing that is simple, but with playfulness that prompts a smile. It is clothing that brings you back to your natural self just by wearing it. Talking with Ines, I begin to see clothing that anticipates the next era. It then starts to overlap with UNIQLO’s LifeWear concept.
The collaboration line is an iteration of UNIQLO’s LifeWear, aimed at enriching lives through quality clothing. Rather than following trends, it focuses on what Ines herself wears, to look and feel great. Each detail, from the height of the waist and opening of the neckline to overall fit, has been carefully refined through a long fitting process with Ines herself, to create a perfectly balance collection.
Featuring smartly cut shirts, classic trench and tweed coats, casual cashmeres, chic trousers and Ines’ favorites, like the elegant tuxedo jacket and simple silk dresses, each piece translates easily from day to night. And each is a great addition to any woman’s, but most especially a working woman’s wardrobe. The collection’s understated elegance is predicted to resonate across women of all ages and cultures. A true testament to UNIQLO’s global fashionability.
The IDLF collection will be available at UNIQLO SM Megamall, SM Aura and Glorietta 5.
