From one international phenomenon to another, Charice apparently can’t get enough of E L James‘ racy novel Fifty Shades of Grey! “I just finished the book … and I think people would get why I love it,” she told HollywoodLife.com exclusively Oct. 9 at the NYC premiere of her new movie Here Comes The Boom. “Of course, it’s not only about the naughty stuff. … It’s a different love story, and I love it.”

Charice said she thought of herself as the director of the movie while she was reading it, dreaming up the perfect actors and actresses in her head — but don’t expect her to cast herself as Christian Grey’s main squeeze!

“I don’t think I could pull of Anastasia Steele,” she admitted. “But I can play Anastasia’s sister! That’s it.”

Fortunately, Charice assured us we will be seeing her on the big screen again, even if it’s not in Fifty Shades.

“I would love to try out some other roles, like in a horror movie or something,” she revealed. “I would love to try really crazy ones.”

I think I speak for all of us when I say we’d see Charice in anything.

Chasters, what kind of movie do YOU think Charice should star in next? Drop me a comment with your best ideas!

And it looks like Chasters are already mobilizing to support their princess:

“Cheesa & Charice…..what a Perfect combination!” writes iTunes user Robert Hope.

“I love the message that this song carries,” adds user Cherilyn Farcon. “Great vocals too from Cheesa and Charice.”

In the first stop on her ‘Infinity Asia Tour,’ Charice Pempengco covered tons of popular songs — including a heartfelt song in memory of her idol, Whitney Houston. Watch them here!

There’s no better way to start your weekend! Charice Pempengco has the voice of an angel and performed flawlessly last night during her premiere performance for her Infinity Asia Tour in Dubai.

Sporting a new look with her hair, the 19-year-old pint-sized Filipino singing sensation belted out a wide variety of songs, including Whitney Houston‘s “Saving All My Love,” Adele‘s “Someone Like You” and Katy Perry‘s “The One That Got Away.” She even dedicated “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton to her late father, who was tragically killed recently.

We’re used to being blown away by Charice‘s epic in-concert covers, but trust me — your heart is not prepared to hear her tribute to the late, great Whitney Houston. During a Feb. 13 concert, Charice performed “I Have Nothing,” coincidentally written by Charice’s producer David Foster, as well as “I Will Always Love,” reducing the entire audience to a puddle of emotions.

(UPDATE: It turns out this video is being inaccurately sent around the internet as a new tribute video, when it was actually filmed back in 2009. But it means so much more now, so I’ll let it slide.)

Watch Charice’s tribute performance below, then head to the comments section with your thoughts on Charice, Whitney, or life in general. Let’s just share some feelings.

Charice took the Biebs home to the Philippines for Christmas! What do you think of her rendition?

Our Charice obsession is just growing deeper and deeper. The pint-sized singing sensation performed at the Resorts World Manila Performing Arts Theater in her home country of the Philippines Dec. 2 and covered one of our favorite Christmas songs of the year — Justin Bieber‘s “Mistletoe.”

Although we can’t really see Charice in this fan vid, we CAN hear her — and she sounds utterly fantastic. What do you think, Chasters? What other Christmas songs do you want to hear from Charice?

Charice delivered her most emotional performance to date Nov. 25 when she paid tribute to her late father at David Foster and Friends’ Mandalay Bay concert in Las Vegas. “Tonight, I want to dedicate a song for him,” Charice told fans at David Foster and Friends’ Mandalay Bay concert, before launching into an unrehearsed rendition of Joe Cocker‘s “You Are So Beautiful.”

Her estranged father, Ricky Pempengco, was stabbed to death in the Philippines on Oct. 31 by a drunken stranger. Charice immediately left her tour, and is only now returning to the stage.
