The 2nd season of Superstars

[ former contestants from season 1]

The theme for this year is ‘Fantasy world’. Superstars is a reality show where they recruit D-list stars, have them live together, put them into groups each week, and train them to do musical numbers for weekly shows. It reminds me of dancing with the stars but not really. It’s a more flashy show, they don’t have trained professionals helping them out on stage, and the style is more like a cabaret show. Let me tell, the show is colorful.

The contestants are competing for a truckload of money. Last year, ‘Gof Akara Amarttayakul won. He took home 10 million baht (286,956.40 USD) in cash and other prizes. In total, he won 17 million baht (487,825.8749 USD). Yes, a whole lot of “Do-Ri-Me”. The last standing 3 finalist don’t leave empty-handed  either. Fluke, Tak Bongkot, and Jik Naowarat, last years losing finalist, took home prizes worth more than 2 million baht (57,391.2794 USD). Not too shabby.

Last year there were 14 contestants. This year, there are only 10. Superstars will air every Saturday nights at 9:30pm on Modern 9 starting September 26, 2009. You can check out their website here.

The new contestants:

Film and lakorn actor, Oil Thana. I don’t consider him a D-lister. What is he doing on this show?

Prem knows Nichkhun

EW! This is just so wrong in so many levels! Ew…..Nickhun officially has a gay rumor with Prem Busarakamwong, Tata Young’s ex-fiance. Why is this guy all over the place, he needs to go back to where ever he came from because he is downright obnoxious with a capital O. He’s just famous for dating Tata Young, the guy has no talents, did ya see him in “Before Valentine”? Need I say more. I hate talentless people famous for doing nothing.

The media hates Prem, its quite obvious by the constant negative coverage on him. He’s either a playboy, a 3 third hand in someone’s relationship, and of course the gays rumors are routine. If you’re a guy celebrity, it is best  to stay away from Prem or else you’ll be tag for being gay. Seriously, it’s that bad.

Prem is annoyed by it. “Alright krap, I have accepted it, I can’t say anything. If I say too much, you’ll say I’m making excuses. With men, you say I’m gay or a tootsie. With women, I’m a 3rd hand and things of that nature.”

Prem can’t deny he took Nichkhun to a pub BUT they went in a group. “We went, we went as a group, there were 5-6 of us. He had just finish filming for TAT (The Tourism Authority of Thailand) and he wanted to go out, so we went. The next day, he had to fly back (to Korea).”–Innocent enough.

The reporters probe on, “how do you know each other?”

Prem:”I got to know him from a concert, the Wondergirls and 2pm concert. I helped arrange it. He has been here several times and we know each other….nevertheless, if I’m with a girl, you say something, if I’m with a guy, you say something also.”

Reporters:”Did you do anything to make people be suspicious?”

Prem:”There is nothing krap, I didn’t do anything suspicious. At 1am, we went back and the people who introduced me to Nichkhun are workers from his company, they said he wanted to go out, so I said okay, we went, that’s all.”

You can listen to the interview here.

Prem is dressing like a pirate because he is part of a fashion show, an event called Chonburi Pet Lovers, or something like that.

Do I believe the rumors? With Nichkhun, it’s very unlikely since he is well-guarded by JYP road managers and he knows he is being watch. In both Korea and Thailand, he knows he is being followed by crazy fangirls and the  media, I doubt he would do anything stupid. They went to the pub; however, I don’t think they did anything ‘suspicious’ whatever that means.

As for Prem, I don’t care whether he is or not. I just can’t stand the guy.

Prem is g*y

Prem and Pancake competing for the same guy (Tye)

He’s not, well at least that is what he is telling everyone, it’s just part of the fashion show. At the Kunitar & 8E88 by L’Oreal Paris fashion show 2 weeks ago, Prem Busarakamwong (Tata Young’s ex-fiance) and “Pancake” Khemmanid Jamikorn put their dukes up to compete for the affections of Tye Nattapol. From the looks of things, Prem lucked out, Tye chose Pancake.

The designs where by Saruda Nimpitakpong and Chinachan Nimpitakpong of Kunitar and 8E88. According to Thai catwalks, Kunitar’s signature style is art and romantic, sweet and feminine while 8E88’s identity is a mixture of modern art, Gothic and funky. Okay, to me they produce the same stuff over and over, too much of an overflow of PINK. Last year it was frilly pink dresses, this year it’s the same thing. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t like it. I do.

Kunitar and 8E88 are usually very entertaining, instead of real models, they use Thai celebrities. It’s more of a show rather than a fashion event.

Prem pops out the ring and Pancake comes along to ruin everything. They look serious about it too.

“Wonderful Town” wins big at the 18th Suphanahong Awards

Aditya Assarat’s movie“Wonderful Town” took home 5 trophies at the Supanahong Awards (Thai Oscars) a few hours ago held at the Thailand Culture Centre, a big win for the Indie flick. Other than vaguely reading about it at Wise Kwai’s Thai movie Blog, I have never seen the film. I might have to hunt it down. From what I gathered from reading Nathan Lee’s NY Times review and random sites about the film, it’s a depressing love story about a female housekeeper Na (Anchalee Saisoontorn ) and a handsome young architect Ton (Supphasit Kansen) set in the tsunami ravaged town of Takua Pa, Thailand.
