Manolo says, Oh noes! The important role of exchange student on Glee, which by right of adorability and quirkiness should have gone to Lin Yu Chun, has in the stead been given to the tiny Filipino singer Charise Pempengco. Sadly, the Manolo must object to this casting, not merely because this person is not Lin Yu Chun, but also on the grounds that she is only 18-years-old and already she is doing this… Filipino teenage singer Charice Pempengco says she prepared for her debut on the hit TV show “Glee” by getting Botox and an anti-aging procedure “to look fresh…
Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.

Manolo says, our friend Katie R. reminisces about great pasta sandwiches she has known.

Manolo says, our friend Mr. Henry recommends some judicious shaving for the mens.
