After victory, Manny Pacquiao parties with Paris Hilton, to host her in the Philippines

My favorite sidelight from the big fight in Las Vegas yesterday was Paris Hilton partying with Manny Pacquiao and wife Jinkee after his victory over Shane Mosley. The hotel heiress tweeted last night that she’ll be visiting the couple in the Philippines given how well they got along.
2010 PBA Philippine Cup first impressions, part 1
Can I just share that, while you are reading this, I have spent the last couple of nights in Koronadal, South Cotabato. Koronadal is also known by its other name Marbel. Yes, I spent the last two evenings in the hometown of 1998 PBA Most Valuable Player, Captain Marbel Kenneth Duremdes. Anyway, quick takes on each of the PBA teams in the Philippine Cup so far:

The Sweetest Tweets, featuring lover boy Rod Nealy, Vince the Prince, and James Ty III
Philippine basketball has started to develop a small but vibrant community on Twitter, and Fire Quinito rounds up the best messages, in 140 characters or less.
Monday bullets, starring Rio Locsin, Cesca Litton, Dynamite Danny Seigle, Topex Robinson’s return, and even more James-Kris
It was beer and pizza night for me and my buddies this weekend, watching World Cup quarterfinal matches with a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie thrown in for good measure. I was a bit bummed out by Argentina’s loss, because I was endlessly fascinated by Diego Maradona at the sidelines acting all crazy. He actually reminded me of Jawo out there. I kept waiting for him to put his overweight son Dudut Maradona into the game, to the absolute horror of the Argentine fans. Never happened though.
Smart Gilas import Milan Vucicevic goes home a winner; team bringing in Marcus Douthit

The recent Fiba-Asia Champions Cup may have been tough for the Smart Gilas national team and its temporary Serbian reinforcement, Milan Vucicevic, but I think we can all agree that the picture above clearly shows that Milan is a winner. My favorite part of the photo? Assistant coach Allan Gregorio looking on in the background.
UPDATE: GilasInsider points out in the comments that the pretty girl in the picture is actually the girlfriend of Rey Guevarra, who is the true winner. Good job man!

I never thought I’d see the words “Chris Tiu” and “Lihim na romansa” together in a headline, but here’s the big news, from Gerry Ocampo of People’s Journal:

PBA Finals Preview on FHM
I wrote a preview of the PBA Finals between Purefoods and Alaska for FHM. Regular readers of this blog, though, might already be familiar with the stuff I wrote there.
Rafe Bartholomew talks Krypto-Nate with Jannelle So
Rafe Bartholomew quickly parlayed his star turn in Quinito Henson’s column into an interview with former PBA courtside reporter (and crush ng bayan) Jannelle So, who now hosts Kababayan LA, a talk show for Filipino-Americans in southern California.

Mark Barroca is the man!
Seriously:
JC Intal is having a good week
Ginebra forward JC Intal has had lots of reason to smile over the past week. First, Lolit Solis reported that his supposed break-up with Rosalinda star Carla Abellana was just a showbiz gimmick to generate publicity for the soap opera.
