Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco (born May 10, 1992 in Cabuyao City, Laguna, Philippines), popularly known by the mononym Charice, is a Filipina singer who rose to popularity through YouTube. Dubbed by Oprah Winfrey as "the most talented girl in the world", she released her first international studio album Charice in 2010. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number eight, making Charice the first Asian solo singer in history to land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Her single "Pyramid", featuring singer Iyaz, is her most successful single to date. It charted within the Top 40 in a number of countries after its debut on The Oprah Winfrey Show where Charice sang live vocals. Crossing over to acting on television, she joined the cast of TV series Glee as Sunshine Corazon. She released "Before It Explodes", written by Bruno Mars, as the lead single from her second international studio album, Infinity.
In March 2012, she signed on to be one of the four judges of the Philippine version of The X Factor, which began airing on ABS-CBN in June.
In May 2015, she reunited with her former mentor David Foster by performing her version of Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down" in Asia's Got Talent.
On October 2011, Charice's estranged father, 40-year-old construction worker Ricky Pempengco, was stabbed to death in her hometown in the Philippines, forcing her to pull out of a concert in Singapore. Ricky had been at a small grocery store in San Pedro, Laguna, a municipality south of Metro Manila, when he brushed against a drunk man who became angry and stabbed him with an ice pick in the chest and back, according to the Laguna province police chief. Charice expressed her sadness through her Twitter account about the death of her father by typing: "I want to thank my fans from around the world for their support and love at this very difficult time for my family and I." "We are all very sad about this terrible tragedy" and "I loved him and I will still love him," she wrote. "He's still my Dad after all."
On March 2012, Charice faced harsh criticism from the Internet and the media after she decided to change her style of hair and clothing into a look she described as "edgy and rock". She replied by saying: "I know some people think that this is very rebellious but it's not. It's just me evolving." On April 16, 2013, she was questioned about her sexuality after various pictures of herself posing in masculine attire surfaced online. In an interview, her mother, Raquel Pempengco, said that she would respect her daughter's decision about her own identity. On May 28, The Philippine Star newspaper ran a story about her 21st birthday party which was described as her "coming out of sorts".
On June 2, 2013, Charice confirmed that she is a lesbian during an interview with Boy Abunda at The Buzz in the Philippines. She also mentioned that she has had past relationships with other girls in the industry.
During 2013 Charice joined PETA's Free Mali campaign, Mali being the only captive elephant in the Philippines, kept at Manila Zoo alone, in a tiny enclosure and in need of proper care. Charice stated “I just can’t imagine how it feels for Mali to be alone and not getting [the] attention that Mali deserves, and not only that, she’s not getting some serious and important care that she actually really needs.

Former collegiate wrestler Scott Voss (Kevin James) is a 42-year-old bored and disillusioned biology teacher at the failing Wilkinson High School. Budget cutbacks at the school jeopardize the continuation of its music program, which would result in its teacher, Marty (Henry Winkler), being laid off. Concerned for both his colleague and his students, Scott attempts to raise the $48,000 necessary to keep the music program alive. At first, he works as a night instructor for a citizenship class. One of his students, Niko (Bas Rutten), approaches him to get some outside tutoring and Scott reluctantly agrees. When Scott arrives at Niko's apartment, he realizes that Niko was a former mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. While watching the UFC at Niko's apartment, Scott learns that the loser of the fight receives $10,000, which gives him the idea of raising the money by fighting and losing in MMA himself. Niko begins training him in defense, and later brings him to another trainer, Mark (Mark DellaGrotte), to train for offense, after a knockout on Scott's behalf he realized he could win more and fight less. While Mark trains with Scott, Malia De La Cruz (Charice Pempengco), one of Scott's students and a band member, helps Niko study for his citizenship test by putting the information into songs. Scott then begins fighting in small MMA fights and gradually gaining higher amounts of money for the school.
