Letting her be |

BB Gandanghari on God and her ‘inner child’
|
|
By Karen Kunawicz, Columnist
BB Gandanghari is one controversial celebrity.
She sure knows how to split a jury. There are those who are outright
admirers, those who think she’s one big joke, those who think
she’s in it for the attention, those who simply can’t figure it
out and a few who think she’s just being who she is—no matter
how unusual—and is absolutely loving every minute of it.
She’s made the cover of S Magazine and also
appears as an alternate cover (tucked in the inner pages) in
April’s issue of Maxim. After that, she joined a Santacruzan in
Malabon as the Reyna Elena. She’s been the object of fascination,
conversation and criticism ever since she came out on national
television on January 15, fresh from a transformative New York
sojourn, wearing a scarf wrapped around her hair and sunglasses
reminiscent of style icon Grace Kelly—proclaiming “Rustom is
dead.”

THIS is Johnny Depp’s first very serious, adult film in a
while—his previous outing, Sweeney Todd had a few laughs in the
first half, there was music despite the blood and you had the
elegant gothic wonderland Tim Burton and his art directors are known
for.
