YANN YANN in 88251 After Little Papaya floated away on a crescent moon, the search began for a new Papaya partner – and homegrown chronic over-achiever Annabelle Chong is determined to get picked!

CELINE ROSA TAN in HAIRSPRAY POTTER 60s dance-diva Tracy Turnblad heads to Hogwarts for a dance-off with Lord Voldemort, and shows them all that nothing stiffens a floppy wizard’s hat like a burst of hairspray! JOAKIM GOMEZ in HIGH SCHOOL BEAUTY WORLD 2 Beauty World has never been so teenage, and what better way to get your head in the game than with a young celeb who certainly has a way with his balls. We’re like … SO breaking free! |
