The father of Glee's Charice Pempengco 19, has been murdered in the Philippines in an act of random violence it is being reported.  Her 40 year old father Ricky Pempengco had been grocery shopping at a store in a San Pedro township just south of Manila yesterday when he  was stabbed in the chest and back with an ice pick after he accidentally bumped into a drunk man who was enraged at the incident. Charice tweeted to her fans:

“I am not going to be there to be part of David Foster and Friends concert,” she said in a post Tuesday on Twitter. “I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family.”

The young teen has had a recurring role as Sunshine Corazon on the hit television show and has the voice of an Angel. She is a big star throughout Asia having done concerts and TV there. She was discovered in America after being invited to perform on the Ellen DeGeneres show. 

So very sad and so very senseless. Our deepest condolences to the Pempengco family at this time.

Move over Pippa – there’s  a new “It” girl in town!   Glee’s Lea Michele, 24 could sing her way into anyone’s heart  in this gorgeous  white sequin embroidered Marchesa dress with blue crystal Judith Leiber clutch that she wore to the 2011 Fox All Star Party at Gladstone’s Malibu in Los Angeles last week.

But what I really like are her simple, no-fuss waves .   Wouldn’t it be great to wake up every morning with hair like this?  The look is totally effortless, yet sophisticated and beautiful.

What do you think?

“You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic,” Murphy tells The Hollywood Reporter, “or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year.  I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea,” he says. “They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top. I’m much more interested in Lea’s character — not so much on her relationship with Finn, but more on what her dreams are beyond high school and how she plans on getting them,” he adds. “That’s what my senior year was about.”

What do you think?  Is this going to kill the show or only make it stronger?  I can’t decide.  I know that I have a hard time with “change” on my favorite shows.  This one is going to be so drastic.  Not sure how to take it yet.
