To Bi For 26: Iza Calzado.

Last year, I completed my list of 25 sexiest female celebrities. For good measure, I reserved spots for all-time crushes Jennifer Love Hewitt (No. 24) and Winona Ryder (No. 25). This caused me to postpone featuring other equally beautiful and captivating women, particularly those who caught my fancy and fantasy only just recently.

One such woman is the very elegant and regal Iza Calzado. I know her from her appearances on television dramas as well as her TV commercials. Though I am yet to tune in on her shows and watch one completely, I have seen enough scenes to make an assessment that she is a good actress. This means, at the least, that her projections on the screen can be said as "acting" and that she does nothing in front of the camera that would make the viewer revulse, turn off the TV or change the channel. She is a pleasant presence on the screen and her beauty makes every scene only richer.

From what I read in the gossip columns, Iza is bound for Hollywood. She is already shooting a thriller alongside hunky Jesse Bradford that will be released in the United States and around the world. In the local scene, she will be starring opposite bad boy Robin Padilla in a new primetime drama. It seems that things are really looking up for this very nice girl.

Another bit of good news, at least for the male population who desire Iza, is the apparent lack of any news about a boy in the lovelife of Iza. No boyfriend or suitor has ever been written since she joined showbiz three or four years ago. I asked a friend from the entertainment industry about this. Is there any estranged husband lurking somewhere or a child out of wedlock stashed in the provinces? He said no, Iza is just focused on her career right now. How very showbiz. Still, it made me smile inside. There is hope, after all.

As if. Hope does not translate to chance.

SatCon MOTY Update. I have narrowed down the finalists for my Man of the Year to just five. They are Hollywood actors Orlando Bloom, Chris Evans and Jake Gyllenhaal; paranormal investigator Jensen Ackles and hotbody Chad White. The enumeratiom is random and each one retains an equal chance of ending up as the title holder.

Meanwhile, I have ranked the five "eliminated" nominees as follows:

6th - Julian Fantechi

8th - Leighton Stultz

9th - JC De Vera

Earlier today, I found vintage, black and white photos of Aga Muhlach, the ultimate leading man in Philippine cinema. Since I've already reached my quota for today's blog, I will write and feature more next time.

Meanwhile, here is a sampler from the photoset that I unearthed today. Love the treasure trail.
