The biggest celebrity tandem of the year - AlDub has topped the list of the 2015 Top 10 Google trends in the Philippines, GMA Network News reported.

AlDub, or known separately as Alden Richards and Maine "Yaya Dub" Mendoza, achieved new-found fame through the segment "Juan For All For Juan" of their show, "Eat Bulaga!", which started innocently from a recurring subplot about their supposed love for each other. 


AlDub did not only top this year's trending list, but also broke the record previously held by the World Cup in 2014. 

Aside from the tandem AlDub, Maine Mendoza was also named top trending female personality, while Alden Richards placed second in the male personality category, losing only to Pope Francis.

“I’m so incredibly excited to announce that i am on the cover of the 2016 issue of sports illustrated swimsuit issue @si_swimsuit ,honestly words can’t describe how grateful I am. I have worked my butt off and never gave up on my dream! Thank you so much for making my dreams come true tonight @mj_day I have so much love for you!”, Hailey Clauson wrote on Instagram.

“Truly speechless!!! This cover is for every woman who felt like she wasn’t beautiful enough because of her size. You can do and achieve anything you put your mind to. Thank you so much to the entire @si_swimsuit team! I’m so excited to be a part of your family. I love you all!!!,” Ashley wrote on her Instagram account.

“Such an honor to share the cover with @theashleygraham and @haileyclauson for @si_swimsuit’s issue celebrating women of all body type, ” Rousey wrote on her Instagram account.

28-year-old Ashley Graham is a plus-size lingerie model, motivational speaker and a body activist.

The three cover girls of the 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition – Ronda Rousey, Hailey Clauson and Ashley Graham.

Female athletes, despite their proficiency in their chosen sport, rarely receive the attention and celebrity they deserve. Serena Williams might make millions from sponsorships and tournament wins, yet she still doesn’t get nearly the amount of respect she probably should. And her peers, from those Williams challengers on the court to the U.S. Women’s World Cup champions, and every other sport from bobsledding to pole vaulting (if they’re in the Olympics, they count), could do with some more credit. Because on top of being at, well, the top of their game, these athletes are also beautiful — and some even dare to pose for Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue — wearing nothing but body paint.

Appearing in the magazine’s annual swimsuit edition for the second time (her first shoot was in 2010), Lindsey Vonn went all-in. “I wasn’t quite sure if I was comfortable at first with the body paint, but I figured it’s just pretty much the same as wearing a bathing suit anyway,” the skier explained. “When you see the suit on a hanger and then see it on your body painted, it’s a totally different experience. It’s very freeing!” (Photo: Frederic Pinet/Courtesy of Sports Illustrated)

Caroline Wozniacki poses in body paint inspired by a red For Love & Lemons one-piece 

For the second year in a row, Wozniacki has appeared in the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. But she took year two to a whole new level. “When I look at myself and I look down at myself, I feel like I have plenty of clothes on,” the Danish tennis star explained. “But I feel totally naked!” (Photo: Frederic Pinet/Courtesy of Sports Illustrated)

For the shoot, the Rousey’s call time was 11 p.m. — the night before. After the 15 hours needed to apply the leopard swim art, she said, “I think this is the longest I’ve just like walked around naked since I was like 10.” The fighter added she felt “very fierce.” (Photo: Frederic Pinet/Courtesy of Sports Illustrated)

Hailey Clauson is taking over!

For the first time in its 52-year history, Sports Illustrated chose three cover models for their iconic Swimsuit Issue. While UFC star Ronda Rousey and plus-size model Ashley Graham are well known amongst readers, many were curious as to who the stunning blonde was when the magazine revealed the covers on Saturday.

So what’s her story? Keep reading to learn more about the 20-year-old beauty.

Clauson is no stranger to being a cover girl. While her face appeared on plenty of glossy covers over the years, including Vogue Japan and Vogue Russia, she most recently landed the cover spots for Elle magazine’s France, Spain and Russia editions.

The Thousand Oaks, California, native started modeling when she was 14 years old, appearing in ads for trendy brands like Wildfox Couture, Forever21, Gucci and Jill Stuart.

This is Gigi Hadid's third year featuring in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and her figure is just getting better and better.

Showing off her 'California Girl' glow in a series of skimpy bikinis, the 20-year-old model sizzles as she writhes around on a Tahiti beach for a spot in the highly coveted swim issue.

Just yesterday the issue made history by featuring size 16 Ashley Graham as their first ever plus-size model to grace the cover of the issue.

Unveiling the cover on her Instagram page, Graham, who has modeled for some of the biggest designers in the world, said it's for "every woman who felt like she wasn't beautiful enough because of her size."

"You can do and achieve anything you put your mind to," she added in the caption.

Stunning model Hailey Clauson and UFC fighter Ronda Rousey also got their own covers.

Even Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models get a slight case of the nerves.

When Yahoo Celebrity met up with Samantha Hoopes — whose blond locks, tight abs, and perfect pins are featured throughout the glossy magazine — at the Swim City event at the Altman Building in New York City on Tuesday, there were men snaked around the room, clutching their copies of the mag, waiting to meet her and other SI Swimsuit beauties. While the Doylestown, Pennsylvania, native posed in little more than bikini bottoms in the special issue, she has a slight trepidation about her outfit today. Underboob can have that type of effect on a girl.

But whether or not the 25-year-old model is showing too much skin is just one passing thought on Hoopes’s mind as we chat at the Schick Hydro booth, where male attendees got to enjoy a free shave. She’s unfiltered on all topics from her opinion of the trio of cover models (Ronda Rousey, Ashley Graham, and Hailey Clauson) to that “embarrassing” thing with NBA star Blake Griffin that has been “haunting” her for the last few months. And she weighs in on everything from skin hydration (she doesn’t hold back!) to taking a great selfie (she’s all about Snapchat).

 I was really excited because it was the first time they did three covers. The fact that there are three girls — all different shapes and sizes, who come from different places — I think it’s exciting.

"The best part is there are three different types of women [up here], representing every type of woman," said Clauson, 20.

Rousey appeared genuinely stunned, admitting that she thought she "was in the wrong spot" when she was called up as a cover girl finalist.

There will be three separate covers issued featuring solo shots of each girl.

The 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has finally revealed its cover girl, and the honor has gone to not one, but three women: Ronda Rousey, Ashley Graham and Hailey Clauson.

The three finalists were all called to the front when Cannon announced that there would be three covers "for the first time ever" in the magazine's 52-year history.

The reveal came during a live one-hour show, hosted by Nick Cannon and Rebecca Romijn, following TNT's NBA All-Star Saturday Night.

Graham was equally as surprised at the win, exclaiming, "I'm shaking!"

Inside the magazine, the trio is joined by a slew of lovely ladies, including Graham's fellow SI Swim's 2016 rookies Barbara Palvin, Bojana Krsmanovic, Sofia Resing and Tanya Mitushina.

Sports Illustrated has officially turned a new page, not only releasing a trio of covers for its 2016 Swimsuit Issue, but highlighting three beautiful women of varying body types.

Ashley Graham, Ronda Rousey, and Hailey Clauson each have their own individual — and completely gorgeous — cover.


“The three covers of Hailey, Ronda and Ashley celebrate the new SI Swimsuit,” the magazine’s assistant managing editor, MJ Day, said. “All three women are beautiful, sexy, and strong. Beauty is not cookie cutter. Beauty is not ‘one size fits all.’ Beauty is all around us and that became especially obvious to me while shooting and editing this year’s issue.”

MMA star Rousey’s appearance in the magazine was expected; an image from her photo shoot was leaked in January and gained quite a bit of buzz. After all, the 29-year-old was wearing nothing but body paint made to look like a one-piece swimsuit.

Clauson, 20, knows a little something about that; the high-fashion model appeared in the 2015 issue wearing a teeny red, white, and blue painted-on bikini. Day described her as “the definition of a modern bombshell.”

Graham, 28, is also featured in an ad campaign in the magazine revealed earlier this month. The plus-size model (who prefers to be called “curvy sexalicious”) is a rookie this year.

“Ashley commands your attention in her photographs,” Day explained. “She owns her sexiness in a way that every woman should. Her confidence is contagious.”

Ronda Rousey made her first major public appearance since she was knocked out by Holly Holm on Saturday Night Live. Check out photos of the UFC star in her SNL debut!

Add another name to Amy Schumer's enviable Hollywood girl squad: Ronda Rousey!

The MMA fighter snapped a selfie with Schumer on Tuesday, which the Trainwreck star captioned simply, "Ladies."

The two are pretty made up in the pic, maybe we can hope for a Rousey cameo on the upcoming season of Inside Amy Schumer?

The comedian has had a busy week after attending the Golden Globes on Sunday, where she lost out to BFF Jennifer Lawrence for Best Actress in Motion Picture - Comedy. Comedian Colin Quinn -- who played Schumer's dad in Trainwreck -- texted his on-screen daughter with condolences after the loss, and she showed off her hilarious response on Instagram.

"Even tho u didnt win take comfort in the fact that u have friends like me in your life. Forever," Quinn wrote. Schumer replied simply, "Please leave me alone."

Ronda Rousey’s gloves are off and so is everything else!

The UFC fighter posed for Sports Illustrated’s upcoming swimsuit issue, and opted for body paint instead of an actual bikini.

“I was one of the lucky few chosen to be a canvas for a hand painted masterpiece that took 14 hours to put on,” Rousey – who also posed for the publication in 2015 –Instagrammed on Thursday. “I can’t wait to show you guys the final pics the when the issue hits stands!”

The 28-year-old athlete posed on a beach in Grenada, and in an effort to beat the paparazzi to the punch, SI posted some behind-the-scenes pics from the super sexy photoshoot.

It’s yet to be confirmed if Rousey will cover this year’s swimsuit issue, which hits newsstands in February, but her famous fan, Beyonce, might have some pointers for her.

Though Yahoo users often comment that they are sick and tired of reading stories about the Kardashians (aren’t we all?), their actions say otherwise. Yahoo unveiled its annual list of the most-searched celebs on Wednesday, and the Kardashian-Jenner crew once again ruled in 2015.

Ronda Rousey is back and looking better than ever!

The mixed martial artist is prepared to reclaim the UFC women's bantamweight championship belt in Friday night's fight against reigning champ Amanda Nunes, and she emanated intimidation at Thursday's weigh-in.

"Thank you everyone who came out to support at the weigh-ins today," Rousey, 29, posted on Instagram along with a picture of herself on the scale. "Looking forward to proving you all right tomorrow. It's going to be the happiest New Year ever."

Prior to the weigh-in, Rousey shared an impressive before and after glance at what she looked like ahead of her February 2015 fight with Cat Zingano and what she looks like now. The side by side shows an astonishing improvement in definition for a body that was already in peak condition.

In which we find out the identity of The Voice… for real, this time. We think.

Here, 8 things we learned in the “Drive” episode of Quantico:

1. Will’s not dead! He’s in the ICU, though, suffering from the effects of having cobbled together a nuke in the catacombs of the church where Alex and Shelby found him. Simon remains MIA. 

2. Ryan and Nimah are hot on Alex’s trail, and they burst into her apartment only to find Caleb, on her couch, eating cereal and watching home renovation TV. He tells Ryan that Alex hasn’t been at her apartment in a day, and Miranda orders Ryan to bring Caleb into the office. She’ll make him talk, she warns… 

3. Alex is on the run, meanwhile, but in touch with Shelby via phone. Shelby is using her laptop to search all the hospitals in the city for any patient description that might be Simon — damn, that McGregor-Wyatt software can do anything! She locates a patient at St. Luke’s that sounds almost exactly like Simon, and she and Alex agree to meet there to see if it might be their friend.

4. Dude at St. Luke’s is not Simon… he’s Drew! Whuuuut? Yes, after Drew left Quantico on his huffy bike, he got a gig at a private security firm in New York. Shortly after, he received a call from The Voice, ordering him to rent a van and park it on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. Drew refused, until The Voice threatened his sister and her children. He rented the van, and then The Voice kept making more and more demands, he tells Alex and Shelby, like asking him to scope out train schedules and security cameras around NYC. After the first attack, he saw Alex on TV, he says, and started to make some connections, but didn’t know who he could talk to, because he suspected it was an inside job at the FBI.

5. In the Quantico timeline, with just two weeks until graduation, the NATS are getting close quarters combat training. They spar with each other inside “The Box,” a cage-like enclosure where Ryan kicks Alex’s butt using a cool backflip off The Box walls (which he later tells her saved his life in Afghanistan). Instead of being angry about her defeat, Alex tells Ryan he just got lucky, and that even Ronda Rousey loses sometimes. She’s also super flirty with Ryan, prompting a snarky comment from Iris about how Drew has only been gone for, like, 20 minutes. Exes Ryan and Alex are so flirty that they even make dinner plans — for two weeks ahead, post-graduation — during which she plans to find out everything there is to know about him (the truth this time).

6. Ryan, as part of his promise to tell Alex the truth about himself, decides to tell her the truth about what happened in Chicago, something he hasn’t told anyone else. He says the night of the planned attack in Chicago, Liam called him and told him he should take off early, because Liam knew Ryan was upset about problems in his marriage to Hannah. Liam said he would cover for Ryan, but he got drunk in some bar and never showed up. When Ryan was investigated for the incident, he covered for Liam and never told anyone Liam was drunk and had committed to covering for Ryan. He tells Alex that Liam’s career was already hanging by a thread, and if the FBI found out what really happened, Liam would have been done. Alex asks him if he ever regretted hurting his own career advancement to save Liam. He did, he says… until he met her.

8. Ryan visits Liam in his office at Quantico and tells him he doesn’t want to get stuck there, so he thinks he’s going to be leaving. He also doesn’t want to have to continue lying about what happened in Chicago, and Liam tells him he won’t have to. Clayton just offered Liam a job in Washington, D.C., Liam says, and he told Clayton he wants Ryan to work with him there. Clayton agreed, saying Ryan has paid long enough for Chicago, and Ryan tells Liam he’ll consider the job offer.

Paul Walker's presence in the Fast & Furious series will always be missed.

Vin Diesel shared the first Furious 8 poster on Facebook on Tuesday, which features just him looking out to an empty road. Furious 8 marks the first film in the franchise to not feature Walker, who died in November 2013.

"New roads ahead," the poster reads.

Facebook

Set to hit theaters April 14, 2017, the latest installment does have some notable new faces, including Charlize Theron and Scott Eastwood. Last week, Eastwood shared the first photo from the Atlanta, Georgia set, featuring Tyrese, Ludacris, and director F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton).

"Little behind the scenes.... can't show you too much," he teased. "But what I can say is @tyrese and @ludacris and @fgarygray couldn't been more welcoming. Really good dudes. Had a great first day. Lots of laughs."

The cast also couldn't be more excited for Theron to join the set.

"I feel like her coming on board -- girl power," Tyrese told ET exclusively about the Oscar-winning actress when we caught up with him at WE Day earlier this month. "What we pride [ourselves in] in the Fast and Furious [franchise] is a very diversified cast that's translating domestically and internationally in a major way."

"When you look at the movie poster and you look to the left, you look to the right, I'm like, 'Fellas, we need some more women in here, man. We got to change this thing up a bit,'" he continued. "We have bits and pieces of power women in it, but we needed to bring it up a notch. [We were] looking into the Ronda Rouseys -- Michelle Rodriguez has been holding it down since day one -- but we got Jordana Brewster and Charlize, we're really stepping it up."
