THE reason Shawn Mendes is very popular among young women is that he started on the video-sharing platform YouTube at the age of 12. As we all know, teenagers watch more YouTube than TV.
After the postponement of his first concert in the Philippines, Mendes finally brought his Illuminate World Tour to Manila on March 18 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Lucky Smart subscribers, thanks to Smart Music Live, got meet-and-greet, pre-event and VIP tickets. This was actually Smart Music Live’s first event for the year. It was followed by the Fifth Harmony concert on April 5.
This was the first leg of Mendes’s world tour. After Manila, he went to Japan and will make his UK, Germany, US and other stops for the rest of 2017.
Citing Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and John Meyer as his musical influences, the 18-year-old Mendes’s sophomore album Illuminate debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 with 145,000 equivalents album units sold. His biggest hit is “Stitches”.

NOT A GRACIOUS HOST
WHO is the model-sometime TV host who allegedly made a Grab driver wait for one hour while she dressed up? She then reportedly emerged from her townhouse mad at the driver who, the model-TV host claimed, had the audacity to text her several times.
The driver kept his cool, thinking the model-TV host would make it up to her with a fat tip. He was wrong. She didn’t and actually reported him to Grab for unprofessional behavior.
KIND TO WOMEN
IN the 1990s they were the love team to beat, but they broke up because of a number of reasons. The guy is now married, while the girl is still single. One time, someone asked the girl if the guy was a good boyfriend, and she replied, “Oh, yes, he was such a good boyfriend that he became a boyfriend to more than one woman. He was kind to all women he met, if you know what I mean.”
We wonder if the actor is still that friendly to other women, considering his wife is very feisty.
HE LIKES ’EM YOUNG
THIS executive recently married a woman almost young enough to be his daughter. But that allegedly hasn’t stopped him from exploring other options.
The executive is reportedly seeing one of his company’s contract stars on the side. The star is a girl who could be his granddaughter.
The executive has always dated younger women, whether he was married (this is his second), single or in a relationship.
