Charice addresses lesbian issue

Charice lesbian?

Charice is sporting a new look with her short blonde hair and a tattoo on her forearm that says "Love Eternally" in time for her "Infinity Tour."

Charice's makeover, however, has made some critics to question her sexuality. When asked about her sexual preference, the singer answered: "Why would you ask me that question? I think that's a very inappropriate question. For me, just love me. I'm a person. If you think I'm a boy or a girl or if I look like a boy, then fine. I'm Charice."

What if people will think she is a lesbian for her new look?

"I know what people think...I don't care. This is the look that I want. The only thing that you can do is move on," the Pinay singing sensation replied.

Charice's "Infinity Tour" was held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last night. Among Charice's guests in the concert were international rapper Iyaz, whom she collaborated with in "Pyramid," and her fellow "Little Big Star" alumni Sam Concepcion, Ralph Salazar and Maliksi Morales. - NoypiStuff

An unrecognizable Charice arrived in Manila Thursday. The Youtube sensation landed with a different hairstyle, short and blonde, and with a brand new tattoo on her left forearm.

In a press conference for the Manila leg of her "Infinity Tour," the Pinay singer explained what her tattoo means.

"The tattoo that I have has a meaning. The tattoo says 'love eternally' and it has an infinity sign. It's for my love for people, for my fans and for my family, for everybody. So, every time I do something I always have reason," Charice said.

She said she got her tattoo a few days ago in Singapore where she staged a successful concert. She added that she asked permission from her mom for it.

Addressing those who aired their negative feedback on her new look, Charice said: "Are you kidding me? I've read tons of negative comments and I don't care. Whatever they think maybe if I look somebody or whoever I don't mind. I mean this is the look that I want. So, the only thing you can do is to move on."

Charice's "Infinity Tour" will be held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum tonight. Among Charice's guests in the concert are international rapper Iyaz, whom she collaborated with in "Pyramid," and her fellow "Little Big Star" alumni Sam Concepcion, Ralph Salazar and Maliksi Morales. - NoypiStuff

"Last night, may kasama ako pero sabi ko kamukha nya daddy ko." Charice tweeted. "Di ko alam na nagpaparamdam na pala sya. Gusto ko lang malaman nyo, na we had a really great relationship bago nangyari lahat ng gulo. Sinabi niya sa akin nung ako'y bata pa na hindi actually alam ni mommy, gusto nya akong maging sundalo kasi sabi niya matapang daw ako. I loved him and I will still love him. He's still my Dad after all."

[Last night, I was with someone who looked like my dad. I have no idea it was a premonition. I just want you to know that we had a great relationship before all these things happened. He told me when I was younger, which my mommy did not know about, that he wanted me to be a soldier because I am brave. I loved him and I will still love him. He's my dad after all.]

Charice's parents had been separated since she was still 3 years old. Her father reportedly became violent because of drug abuse which according to Charice's mom was the reason why they left him.
