FHM Philippines' 11th Anniversary Cover Issue with luscious French-Filipina Solenn Marie Heussaff as the 11th Anniversary Cover Babe. Solenn, 25, is a commercial and print model, fashion designer, painter, VJ and professional make-up artist. Aside from Solenn, FHM Philippines’ latest issue also features “10 Fat-Melting Sex Positions,” “7 Spots to Meet Babes,” “60 Secrets of Great Drivers,” “The Many Deaths of Pinoy Rock” and more plus--since this is a Bikini Issue Special--over 69 pages of girls in very tiny swimsuits.

Created by writer/producers Chuck Lorre (of Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (of Gilmore Girls) comes The Big Bang Theory, a sitcom that shows what happens when hyperintelligent roommates/physicists Sheldon and Leonard meet Penny, a beautiful woman moving in next door--and realize they know next to nothing about life outside of the lab. Rounding out the crew are the smarmy Wolowitz, who thinks he's as sexy as he is brainy, and Koothrappali, who suffers from an inability to speak in the presence of a woman. The show distinguishes itself by being unafraid to toss scientific references and technobabble into an otherwise standard sitcom, even employing a physicist to keep things accurate. In doing so, it allows Sheldon and Leonard to do for science what Frasier's Crane brothers did for fine dining, art, and opera. Theme Song: "The History of Everything" by Barenaked Ladies

While it's certainly not a misstep to begin an overview of Springfield's '80s output with his most well-known song, the greatest treasures of this compilation are still to come, in rapid-fire display. Perhaps Sammy Hagar made a mistake when he gave his best song to Springfield to turn into a hit, but we're all the benefactors when the latter puts his perfect pop/rock spin on "I've Done Everything for You.". For my money, "What Kind of Fool Am I" is simply one of the best regretful lovelorn lothario tunes ever written, with a sterling rueful opening supported wonderfully by a rousing, pitch-perfect chorus. Mainstream power pop has never been better than this. Really, one can't go wrong with the first 10 or so songs on this CD, as Springfield knows how to riff and exhibits a mastery of the famous '80s marriage of keyboards and electric guitar. Still, after "Love Somebody" it's hard to argue that things don't begin to roll downhill a bit in terms of song quality. "Bop 'Til You Drop" and "Celebrate Youth" are particularly dated and unfortified, from their cringe-worthy, vapid titles down to their keyboard excess and puzzling insistence on targeting teeny boppers. Even so, this album is a consistently strong listen and makes a compelling case for the enhancement of Springfield's reputation as the '80s recede further into our memories. Making music that is both timeless and inextricably tied to its era is far from a crime, and Springfield somehow turns it into a musical gift.
