Pussycat Doll next to sing RP anthem in Pacman bout?

MANILA - After world-class performers Lea Salonga and Charice, it is Nicole Scherzinger’s turn to express her desire to sing the country's national anthem in  People’s Champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao's bouts.
Scherzinger, the half Filipino lead singer of popular American pop girl group “Pussycat Dolls,” said, if given a chance, she is willing to sing Lupang Hinirang in one of his fights.
“[It] would be an honor to sing the national anthem. So, let’s make that happen!” she said.
The singer admitted that she is a big fan of the Filipino boxing icon and that she has been following his career.
“I’m so proud of him. I’ve been following him. It’s just awesome to see my kababayans out there like Apl [de Ap of Black Eyed Peas] and Manny… there’s so much pride," she said.

Manny Pacquiao, Pussycat Dolls Nicole vs.Carmit and Stallone

This story is a reach. Details are sketchy. Manny Pacquiao apparently will have a bit part in a movie either produced by or starring Sylvester Stallone. Gorgeous Nicole Scherzinger, who has a Filipino father, and is lead singer of the internationally renowned Pussycat Dolls will also be in the mix..

Nicole recently performed at the SM Mall - Asia Grounds. Back in April, Nicole sang America the Beautiful at Wrestlemania XX at Houston's Reliant Stadium.

Now, my "reach" is to put this in historical perspective and provide information and entertainment for my readers. Or at least have you look at pictures of the pretty women I have provided.

WWE Should Sign Manny Pacquiao

With rumors of Manny Pacquiao retiring from boxing, I believe the WWE should make a major push to sign him.

I’m not talking about signing Manny as a pro-wrestler, but sign him to a few appearances just like they did with Floyd Mayweather Jr. It was a huge boost in the mainstream media when Mayweather appeared in the WWE to feud with The Big Show. WWE was getting regular coverage from sources like ESPN and CNN.

I think it would be even more popular if Pacquiao appeared for the WWE. Pacquiao is an international star and boxing’s best fighter. He would bring an incredible amount of international publicity and open the WWE to markets previously uninhabited.

I can think of several ways to book Manny Pacquiao. In fact, I will write a series of articles in the near future on this very idea.

Boxing purists are probably shaking their heads as they read this. But, remember that this world revolves around money. Boxing and WWE are all about putting on the best shows to make the most money they can.

WWE News: Batista starring in movie with boxing champion Manny Pacquiao

WWE star Batista will be starring in a movie with boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, reports GMA News in the Philippines. Filming for the movie titled "Wapakman" begins this July.

Pacquiao will play a martial arts hero in the kung-fu movie, while Batista is expected to play the lead villain. Batista and Pacquiao's connection dates back to Pacquiao's recent boxing fight against Ricky Hatton where Batista accompanied Pacquiao to the ring.

"Pussycat Dolls" lead singer Nicole Scherzinger is also scheduled to be part of the movie. Scherzinger's connection to WWE is that she opened WrestleMania 25 in Houston with "America the Beautiful."

Manny Pacquiao, Batista and Nicole Sherzinger to start filming movie

According to GMA News, pound-for-pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao will begin filming the movie Wapakman in July, starring alongside Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and WWE star Batista, who will play the movie's villain with Pacquiao as the hero. Batista, as you likely recall, is part-Filipino himself and accompanied Pacquiao to the ring for his May 2 fight against Ricky Hatton.
The movie will reportedly be similar to Kung Fu Hustle, a critically-acclaimed martial arts comedy. Pacquiao says that shooting will not interfere with his boxing schedule at all, and given that he doesn't fight again until November, I see no reason it would.
I think there's some definite cult classic potential here. A boxing superstar, a wrestling superstar, and a pop superstar. Martial arts. Comedy. What's not to like?

Manny Pacquiao not scheduled for 'The Superstars'

Only four weeks until the latest iteration of "The Superstars" on ABC, this time sans Bob Seagren, Joe Frazier, Kyle Rote Jr. or even Jason Sehorn.

The format for the show involves attractive celebrities partnering with pro athletes, including skier Kristi Leskinen (that's her at left in the picture, alongside snowboarder Elena Hight).

Other athletes on the slate: Jennifer Capriati, Brandi Chastain, Robert Horry, Jeff Kent, Lisa Leslie, Bode Miller, T.O.

So why mention Manny Pacquiao in the headline? Because the dude is page views gold, and barring a miracle our Neutral Corner blog is going to spank me in May, thanks to Manny being Manny.
