Mitoy Yonting, the 42-year-old veteran band vocalist, was named the first-ever winner of “The Voice of the Philippines” on Sunday during the hit TV show’s grand finale at Resorts World Manila.

Yonting, a member of Team Lea, beat Team Sarah's Klarisse de Guzman, Team Bamboo's Myk Perez and Team Apl's Janice Javier in the much-awaited finale of ABS-CBN’s hit talent search.

The vocalist of the band The Draybers, Yonting established himself among the show’s early favorites and most popular contestants during the Blind Auditions, where he sang the ’70s OPM hit "Bakit Ako Mahihiya."

Known for his high, effortless voice and energetic performances, Yonting easily progressed on the show after engaging Chien Berbana in the Battle Rounds with "Alone." He electrified the Resorts World Manila crowd during is first live performance with Queen’s theatrical “Don’t Stop Me Now,” exuding a confidence honed by many years of band experience.

In the succeeding live shows, Yonting also showed his quieter side with restrained performances of "Paano," "Against All Odds," and "The Power of Love."

In Saturday’s final competition, Yonting chose to do a rock version of Freddie Aguilar’s classic “Anak,” with Salonga proclaiming, “You are the most deserving person right now for the title, you are the voice of the Philippines.”

His original song, “Bulag,” has also been a best-seller on iTunes, consistently ranking in the Top 5 downloads in the Philippines.

As the first-ever winner of “The Voice of the Philippines,” Yonting won a P2 million, a new car, an Asian tour package for two and a four-year recording contract with MCA Universal

Not a Grand Comeback

Just as he is slowly recovering from months of being at the center of what seemed like a hate campaign, seems like Pretty Boy PB will not yet have the luxury of rest after all. After some recent controversies, PB is likely to be in for another round of bashing from his haters.

Not too long ago, PB's so-called unpopular choices have made him the " favorite boy to hate" by several Fan Groups FG whose feelings he may have crashed so deep. Consequently, PB got a dose of non-stop negative payback from the unforgiving FG, such that whatever PB did and did not do became fodder for FG to pounce on him hard and gloat at his lapses every chance they got.

It was indeed tough for PB, but he bravely stood by his conviction and did what he believed was best for him personally and professionally.

He was therefore very elated when his network finally gave him a Star-studded Project SP after a long hiatus from television series. SP was something he badly needed to validate and vindicate himself from the onslaught of negativity coming from FG who had feasted on him non-stop.

Unluckily, reports have it that all's not well with SP. In one of the production meetings, all indications point to SP's alleged failure to generate much-needed viewership and being consistently the tail-ender in the ratings chart – something that seriously bothered everyone. Allegedly, one of the reasons was that PB's team-up with Playful Actress PA was a foregone conclusion - a disaster waiting to happen.

That said, SP is reportedly on the network's chopping board – very soon.

La Salle Greenhills Greenie Kobe Paras won the Dunk Contest at the 2013 U18 3x3 FIBA World Championships, Sunday in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Paras bested Antonio Morales of Spain, Demonte Flannigan of the United States and Sun Ming Hui of China to take home the gold.

In the Finals of the competition, one of Paras' dunks involved slamming one home from the baseline over teammate Thirdy Ravena, who was astride a motorcycle.

The son of PBA great Benjie Paras previously got a perfect score of 30 points in the qualification pool, sending himself a pass off the backboard through the legs and then jamming it home with a reverse.

Paras' win was some comfort for the team after they were unable to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament, as they dropped their final four games of the group stage.

I Love the Money

There is no doubt that International Diva ID is oozing with talent. Her voice is superb, powerful, a class of its own that won for her not a few international awards and recognition.

ID, who comes from a musical family began her career as a vocalist and back-up singer of various bands. Even at an early age, she was so passionate about her craft and wanted to be in the league of professional singers. Years of dedication have paid off. In no time, ID became one of the most sought-after singers in the country.

Expectedly, awards came one after another - as more and more established singers were getting intimidated by ID's presence in the music industry. More than anything, ID was a true artist and a professional – someone who was bold and unafraid to try anything.

Some observers are amazed at how ID continues to enthrall people, even at times that she was gone from the country for long, the public still longs for her. Thus ID is allegedly never lacking in projects – enough to assume that she has earned considerable sums to tide her over. Reportedly, ID has made several investments here and abroad, really smart enough to make hay while the sun shines.

But alongside is her quirkiness, too - as some artists are said to possess.

In every performers' shows or gigs, normal payment procedures are done after the show, usually through checks especially if the artists talent fee is big. But events organizers in ID' s corporate shows reportedly wonder why ID demands to be paid in cash (not checks) before every show – or she will not perform. This happens all the time even if the company is a repeat client.

Until one day when ID told them why. She said that unless she is fully paid in cash before a show, she is a sluggish performer. Only the thought of a cold cash already paid to her before she goes onstage gives her a different high and immense energy to wow her audience to the hilt.

Marc Jacobs Out at Louis Vuitton? Industry Sources Spark Rumors of Designer's Departure

If you thought Marc Jacobs had already made Louis Vuitton's Paris Fashion Week show a hot ticket, next Wednesday's runway is sure to be the hottest yet: It may just be Jacobs' last for the brand.

The rumor mill is buzzing about an imminent departure, as Jacobs' contract with Louis Vuitton ends next month. "His contract may not be renewed," a source told Reuters. Though the popular designer has seen the storied fashion house through successful times since joining in 1997, he is reportedly internally approved within the company to leave.

This isn't the first we've heard of Jacobs and Louis Vuitton going separate ways, though. Back in June, Women's Wear Daily sparked chatter after reporting thatJacobs was being sought after to replace Reed Krakoff as creative director at Coach. Plus, Louis Vuitton is already at work revamping its design team, tapping Proenza Schouler's accessories designer, Darren Spaziani (the man behind the brand's wildly popular PS1 handbag), to spruce up its logo-centric offerings.

As for Jacobs' replacement, Nicolas Ghesquière's name has been the front-runner ever since the first round of rumors. The French designer, an industry darling, was unceremoniously ousted from his creative director position at Balenciaga and replaced by Alexander Wang last year. A source confirmed to Fashionista in June that Ghesquière and LVMH, the luxury goods conglomerate which owns Louis Vuitton,were "in serious negotiations" about a top position with Louis Vuitton.

But until we get official confirmation, we're remaining skeptical. Regarding Jacobs' departure, another industry source told Reuters, "Nothing has been decided yet." So as of now, the only thing that's certain is that nothing's certain. Let's hope Jacobs drops some hints at his Fashion Week show next week.
