Dingdong Dantes is One of E! Entertainment TV's Top 25 Sexiest Men of the World

There is no stopping Dingdong Dantes.

E! Entertainment Television has decided to put one of the hottest popular actors in the Philippines today - Dingdong Dantes, on their list of 25 Sexiest Men of the World.


For the past several weeks, Charlene Sakoda, the executive producer of E! Entertainment Television in Los Angeles, California has been exchanging notes and calls to Perry Lansigan (DingDong's manager). The first e-mail sent by E! Entertainment, wherein they advised that "the actor Dingdong Dantes of the Philippines" might be included in their selection of 25 Sexiest Men, was first addressed to United Laboratories through Dingdong's Medicol Ibuprofen TV commercial. Later on, they did research on Dingdong's profile and work.

E! Entertainment's request was forwarded by Unilab to Perry. After that, e-mail exchanges flowed between Perry and E! Eventually, E! Entertainment decided to have Dingdong as the only Filipino celebrity to be included on their list. He will be featured in one of the special segments of E! through an interview.

Also stated in E!'s request letter is their intention to have footages and photos of Dingdong, his soap opera, movies, the Bench denim and underwear fashion show, and the Cosmo event.

Although E! also eyed another Filipino talent, the network people all rooted for Dingdong. The final choice came from the president of E! Entertainment, who personally chose Dingdong on the list.

Part of the letter stated: "I can assure you that we are only looking to glorify Dingdong Dantes and will only mention him and your footage in a positive light. The show is scheduled to air in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2008. We do not have a more specific time frame as of yet."

Aside from Dingdong, the list also includes celebrities from other countries who are also considered sexy and popular on their chosen field as actors and sportsmen.

Here is the letter sent by Brian N. Potter, E! Entertainment's Rights & Clearances Supervisor, to Perry Lansigan dated August 18, 2008 and with E!'s letterhead:
