Said Paolo Contis when the press asked if he's now considering daring roles: "Tingnan natin, sayang naman ang pagpaganda ng katawan ko kung itatago ko parati."
Paolo Contis is currently the host of GMA-7's late-night show World Records. He went on a diet for three weeks in preparation for the Cosmo Bachelor Bash. Check Paolo's ripped look in the Cosmo Men supplement of the September issue of Cosmopolitan.
Paolo said Dingdong Dantes played a crucial role for him in this year's batch of celebrity centerfolds. Last year, Dingdong Dantes was the finale of the big event. This time, Paolo was the last to hit the ramp.
Even though he had a taping that night, Dingdong dropped by to give tips to his fellow GMA-7 star.
When Paolo went down the ramp for the second time, he saw his girlfriend Isabel Oli in the press area and quickly blew her a flying kiss. What a lucky girl!
Billy Crawford performed his international hit "Bright Lights" for the predominantly female crowd at the A. Venue Events Hall. The host of ABS-CBN's Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 will temporarily leave the country for several engagements abroad.
Billy Crawford was the only celebrity centerfold who did not take off his top. After the show, he told PEP, "Ever since, kahit dati pa, two years ago, mas mapayat ako, actually. Mas skinny ako dahil nag-prepare ako for a movie. Pero, never akong naghubad, e. Never akong nagta-topless. Ninenerbiyos ako. Iba, e! Mas mahirap sa akin ang gawin yan, kesa sa sumayaw at mag-perform in front of hundreds, thousands of people."
Bruce Quebral used this chance to show how daring he can be. The former Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 housemate lowered his waistband for the audience get a peek of his oomph...!
Ron Morales is the first runner-up of the Be Bench–The Model Search, which was won by Carlo Guevera. Ron was seen in the ABS-CBN action series Palos and is now part of the afternoon drama Ligaw na Bulaklak.
Akihiro Sato teased the crowd before revealing his chiseled torso. The Japanese-Brazilian model was so comfortable on stage that the crowd simply loved to spray him with their water guns.
Macky Escalona posed with a basketball covering his private parts in the pictorial for Cosmopolitan. On the ramp, he again brought a trusty ball as his prop, but without stripping.
Three celebrity centerfolds were unable to attend that night: Derek Ramsay (who is on the cover of the Cosmo Men supplement), Jon Avila, and Geoff Eigenmann.
READY, AIM, FIRE!According to Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Zo Aguila, they envisioned this event to be an on out-of-this world experience. It certainly was!
After months of careful screening and preparations, the Cosmo bachelors were presented to the public during the wet-and-wild party. The enthusiastic audience aimed their lenses and videocams to record the annual event.
Paolo Contis met with the press to talk about his first time to do a modeling show. He plans to 'raid' a buffet to make up for all his dieting while getting fit and ready for the show.
Isabel Oli, Paolo Contis's love, told him that she wouldn't watch the event if her presence would only make him self-conscious. But he insisted she should be there in his moment of triumph.
