Maroon 5's Adam Levine is Now the Newest Bench Endorser!

Adam Levine, Maroon 5's front man is now officially a Bench endorser. This is a great news announced by the global clothing brand Bench last Thursday!

They confirmed the addition of this hunk singer to their growing international endorsers via their official Twitter account. It reads:

” We officially welcome #GlobalBenchsetter @adamlevine to the Bench Family. So thrilled to have you as our newest endorser.”

Bench also tweeted that Adam will visit Manila for an event called, Benchsetter Fun Meet (a meet-and-greet session for fans) at the SMX Convention center on Monday, September 17 (4:30 PM). Here is the tweet:

#GlobalBenchsetter Adam Levine will not be at #BenchUniverse but you can catch him at the #BenchsetterFunMeet on Mon, Sep 17, SMX 430PM.

The said Bench event for Adam is just a day before the much-awaited concert of Maroon 5 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Tuesday, September 18 for the Manila stop of their "Overexposed" world tour.

Here are two of Adam Levine's online poster for Bench which were now circulating on the world-wide web:

Adam completed the International endorsers of the said clothing brand namely Super Junior’s Dong Hae and Siwon (who recently visited the country), Hollywood actor Liam Hemsworth, Joe Jonas, Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars), Fil-Am singer Bruno Mars, Michael Trevino (The Vampire Diaries), American Idol runner-ups David Archuleta and Jessica Sanchez, and Koreanovela Superstar Lee Min Ho (Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter).

The 33-year old hunk singer becomes the talk of the netizens last year after he posed nude for the UK edition of Cosmopolitan Magazine to raise awareness about prostate and testicular cancer. In his nude photo (above), his 'manhood' was covered by the hands of his former girlfriend, Victoria Secret’s Angel model Anne Vyalitsyna.

After Adam, who do you think will be the next international model of Bench?! Well, we'll wait and see! Two thumbs up Bench for bringing international models to the country!(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Alden Richards Prepares Himself for the Cosmopolitan Bachelor Bash!

Kapuso teen hunk Alden Richards is getting ready for Cosmopolitan magazine’s 2012 Cosmo Bachelor Bash. Alden will hit the ramp along with 68 other ‘bachelors’ in a show-off of beautiful physique happening mid-September.

In fact, he headed for the gym immediately after he and his on-screen partner Louise delos Reyes answered questions from fans online via the GMA Network Live Chat on Thursday, September 6.

The teen actor said in an interview that despite his very busy schedule – he tapes for his soap three times a week and also performs in Party Pilipinas – he finds time to work-out.

Alden also follows a strict diet which restricts him to just fresh fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, Alden contracted amoebiasis last week possibly due to his consumption of raw fruits, which might have been contaminated. He was hospitalized for two days.

Although still recuperating, Alden resumed taping after hospitalization because he did not want to be a cause of delay in the production.

Alden invited Louise to the Bachelor Bash but the beautiful teen actress hasn’t made up her mind yet. Louise, however, admitted that she was fascinated when she saw Alden’s macho physique in the latest issue of a glossy magazine.

Meanwhile, the pair’s primetime series is nearing its finale and viewers are intrigued by how the story will conclude. Although Alden and Louise did not “spill the beans,” they hinted that the finale will surely leave viewers teary-eyed. Now, whether that would be out of joy or sorrow, that’s what they should watch out for.

Alden and Louise, at the moment, do not know what specific projects are coming their way after “One True Love” but they are aware that GMA Network is preparing something for them.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

Sharing more about himself, he talks about his image in the public. “I also feel that I have my own imperfections [pero] syempre, hindi ko iniisip na wala akong ganito o wala akong ganyan. Hindi ko sinasabing perfect ako, [and] I don’t highlight yung wala ako. I highlight kung anong meron ako.”

On showing his affections, he shares how he makes a girl feel special. “Yung pagiging sweet, gusto ko palaging intimate. If it’s gonna be me, it’s gonna be me; if it’s gonna be focused on you, it’s gonna be focused on you. I like giving people gifts to show them you care. It’s the thought that counts pa rin naman, di ba?” Not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve for the girl he likes, he shares his sentiments on the special girl he currently has his eyes on. “Gusto ko lang she feels special to me, kasi special naman talaga siya.”
