Country Girl Rules

NEW YORK  — America's "Idol" is ... Carrie Underwood!
It came down to the country girl vs. the rock star — and the country girl won.
Wednesday night, in a special two-hour finale live from the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest announced who had won America's hearts: Underwood, the fresh-faced 22-year-old crooner from Checotah, Okla., who beat runner-up Bo Bice, the long-haired 29-year-old rocker from Helena, Ala.

Upon hearing she'd won the competition, Underwood burst into tears, but got herself together to sing what's become one of her signature songs: "Inside Your Heaven."

"Thank you America!" Carrie shouted at the end of the song.

Wednesday night also had other treats in store. Bo sang with Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Carrie with country trio Rascal Flatts. Many former "Idols" also made appearances.

A Refreshing Outlook

Ahmed Cuizon anchors Maayong Morning, DYAB Abante Bisaya's flagship
program on Saturdays. With co-anchor Tisha Ylaya, Ahmed tackles the
week's most controversial stories from his
not-the-usual-weekday-slambang style.

Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin: May 16 na!

ABS-CBN proudly presents its newest teleserye, Ikaw ang Lahat Sa Akin,
set to premiere on a prime evening slot on Monday, May 16.

Ikaw ang Lahat Sa Akin stars teleserye princess Claudine Barretto,
cast for the very first time alongside one of today's most popular
screen teams, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo. Also heading this
exceptional cast are Angelika de la Cruz, Shaina Magdayao, and Diether
Ocampo.

An emotional story about love and life that can happen to any one of
us, Ikaw ang Lahat Sa Akin is considered by many as a return to form
for the teleserye format that ABS-CBN pioneered and perfected.

Directed by Eric Reyes (Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas) and Jerome Pobocan
(Hiram), and costarring acclaimed actors Hilda Koronel, Tirso Cruz
III, Jaclyn Jose, Noni Buencamino, and Carmi Martin, with Kathleen
Hermosa, Vanna Garcia, Marla Boyd and Glaiza de Castro, Ikaw Ang Lahat
Sa Akin centers on the story of three young women whose journeys
intersect in the most unexpected of ways.

Nea Cruz Fontanilla (Claudine Barretto) and Jasmin Cruz Fontanilla
(Bea Alonzo) are sisters, although they haven't seen each other since
Nea was five – when Nea's father Larry (Noni Buencamino) abandoned her
and her mother Elena (Jacklyn Jose) to live with the rich Yolanda
(Carmi Martin).

Suns 127, Mavs 102

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns are just too fast to gather any rust.

With Amare Stoudemire powering for career playoff highs of 40 points and 16 rebounds, the Suns blew past the Dallas Mavericks 127-102 on Monday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.

Phoenix had not played in eight days after sweeping Memphis, but the Suns came out rested and running against the Mavericks, who were coming off a 40-point victory over Houston in Game 7 of their first-round series Saturday night.

Joe Johnson had 25 points and Shawn Marion 23 points and 11 rebounds in a game the Suns never trailed.

Steve Nash, going against the team he left after six seasons when Mavericks owner Mark Cuban refused to come close to the five-year, $65 million he got from the Suns, was presented the league's most valuable player trophy by NBA commissioner David Stern before the game, holding it high above his head for the cheering crowd.

Then Phoenix was off and running, scoring the first eight points, leading by as many as 18 in the second quarter and 26 at the end of three.
