Miss Venezuela Stefania Fernandez Wins Miss Universe 2009
Miss Venezuela Stefania Fernandez was crowned the winner of the 2009 Miss Universe pageant last night. Check out gorgeous pictures of her below...
Dressed in a flowing red gown, 18-year-old Stefania Fernandez hugged the runner-up from the Dominican Republic and danced in joy as her victory was announced Sunday.
Last year's winner Dayana Mendoza whispered in her ear that she must have worked hard for Venezuela to win consecutively - the first time in the 57 year-old competition that a country has had back-to-back Miss Universe winners.
When asked during the questions-and-answers phase of the competition, Fernandez said she believed women have overcome obstacles such as hitting the proverbial glass ceiling. "I feel we have reached the level that men are at."
When asked later how she thought beauty contests promoted equality between men and women, Fernandez said they provided exposure to strong role models for the younger generation of girls to follow.
Stefania Fernandez is from the city of Merida, a city in western Venezuela - a South American country where hard-fought pageants are something of a national sport, with contestants widely dissected by the public and the media.
The President of her country, Hugo Chavez, did not meet last year's winner when she took home the crown, but Fernandez hopes he will change his mind in light of the historical back-to-back wins for the country.

Michael Jackson’s Death Officially Ruled Homicide
Michael Jackson’s death was caused by “acute Propofol intoxication,” the Los Angeles coroner declared today, officially ruling the star’s death at age 50 a homicide. “Benzodiazepine effect” was named as a contributing factor.
The drugs PROPOFOL and LORAZEPAM (Ativan) were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson’s death. Other drugs detected were: Midazolam (Versed), Diazepam (Valium), Lidocaine (topical anesthetic) and Ephedrine (used to treat hypotension associated with anesthesia). In response to the coroner’s announcement, the Jackson family released a statement that reads, “The Jackson family again wishes to commend the actions of the Coroner, the LAPD and other law enforcement agencies, and looks forward to the day that justice can be served.” Earlier this week, a source told the AP the homicide ruling was imminent. The full contents of the coroner’s report will remain sealed pending the LAPD’s completion of their investigation into Jackson’s June 25th death. Dr. Conrad Murray, the personal physician concert promoter AEG hired to care for the star during his This Is It run of 50 concerts at London’s O2 Arena, remains the focus of the inquiry. As the Los Angeles Times reports, a homicide ruling means the victim died at the hands of another person and does not refer to pending criminal charges. However Dr. Murray has previously been identified as the subject of a manslaughter investigation. According to search warrants unsealed earlier this week, Murray admitted he had been administering Propofol to Jackson to relieve the star’s severe insomnia. In an attempt to wean the star from his usual 50 mg dose of the drug, Murray lowered the dosage to 25 mg and gave Jackson weaker sedatives. The day Jackson suffered cardiac arrest and died, Jackson demanded his “milk” as he referred to Propofol, and Murray reportedly administered the drug intravenously and left the room to make phone calls. When he returned, Murray told investigators, Jackson was unconscious. The doctor admitted to waiting at least 30 minutes before he alerted a bodyguard to call 911. Though he spoke with investigators in the days after Jackson’s death, Murray hasn’t submitted to any press interviews or made any public appearances. On August 18th he broke his silence in a YouTube video to thank his friends and supporters for encouraging calls and e-mails. The severity of Jackson’s dependence on a variety of prescription medications has come to light as the investigation into his death progresses. As Rolling Stone reported, Jackson acquired medicine by using a variety of aliases, including “Omar Arnold.” Jackson’s long history with prescriptions — which is often traced to the injuries incurred when he caught fire while shooting a 1984 Pepsi commercial — could make a manslaughter case more difficult to prove.

Jessica Simpson’s dad blamed for split
Jessica Simpson’s father has been blamed for ruining her romance with Tony Romo. American football star Tony – who split from Jessica last week – reportedly became increasingly frustrated with Joe Simpson’s involvement in his daughter’s life. FOX News reports: “Joe’s meddling ways most likely took its toll on the relationship, which is the reason why they split the first time 14 months ago. Joe promised he’d take a step back when the couple reunited but he was still too involved. “At one point Joe was even giving Tony football advice which doesn’t go down well.” Tony, who dumped Jessica the day before her 29th birthday, is believed to have been unhappy in the relationship for some time. A source said: “It was a long time coming, he hasn’t really been into her and the relationship for awhile, but stayed together because he didn’t want to look like a jerk for not having a better reason to break it off. “She is trying to save face by saying that it’s because of their busy schedules.” In March, it was alleged Joe – who is also Jessica’s manager – was jealous of Tony and believed he was having a negative influence on her career. A source said: “Joe now feels that Tony has become too much of a distraction for Jessica. Any free time she has, Jessica wants to spend with Tony. But rather than blaming his daughter’s work ethic, Joe points the finger at Tony.” The pair began dating in November 2007. Jessica and Tony first met in 2006, when American football fan Joe introduced them

Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies Rihanna
Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies So far, 2009 has been a year of epic change, for better and for worse. We’ve seen a new president take office, igniting the hopes of a public that has long been in dire shortage of it. The economy is still sputtering, America’s national pastime is a dope show replete with fallen giants, and not even fairytale Hollywood romances are safe. Surely, one man can’t turn all this lead into gold, and certainly not in his first 100 days, right? So where do we turn, then, to escape the madness, to avoid the headlines, to hide from our dwindling bank statements? Why, to the beach, of course! Because for every Bernie Madoff, there’s a Bar Rafaeli; for every Manny Ramirez, there’s a Marisa Miller, and for every Spencer Pratt, there’s a Heidi Montag. These are our top 10 2009 beach bodies starting with number 10 . If you come back tomorrow you will find number 9 here, and so on for ten days long. Enjoy!
Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies
rihannabeachNo.10 – Rihanna
Growing up in Barbados, we can only assume that Rihanna spent her formative years perfecting the art of wearing a bikini; then she became a superstar, got involved with an insecure pip-squeak whose last name rhymes with “clown,” saw her personal photographs leaked online, and now must battle to regain her rightful place atop the pop charts. Might we suggest doing it in a bikini?
Rihanna established her dance-pop credentials in summer 2005 with her debut smash hit, “Pon de Replay,” and continued to demonstrate such hit potential in subsequent years (e.g., “S.O.S.” in 2006; “Umbrella” in 2007; “Disturbia” in 2008). However, it was the singer’s third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, that made her a full-fledged international pop star with a regular presence atop the charts. Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael, Barbados, she exhibited a certain star quality as a young child, often winning beauty and talent contests. Because she lived on the fairly remote island of Barbados in the West Indies, however, she never foresaw the sort of stardom that would later befall

Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies So far
These are our top 10 2009 beach bodies today with number 8 . If you come back tomorrow you will find number 7 here, and so on for ten days long.
EnjoyNo.8 – Audrina Patridge
Although reality soap The Hills is the most successful show in MTV’s history, many have questioned how “real” the show actually is. The situations seem fabricated, the dialogue is often robotic and the lighting is just too perfect, too often. But after popular cast member and all-American ditz Audrina Patridge appeared in a bikini on the net, we quickly realized that the most fake thing about The Hills is, in fact, Audrina.
Audrina Patridge made her small screen debut in 2005 as the fun and outgoing friend on the cast of the hit MTV series, “The Hills” (2006), a reality show which documents the lives of four young girls trying to make a mark for themselves in the fast pace, energetic city of Los Angeles. “The Hills” (2006) had the highest-rated telecast this year for MTV. It was recently awarded for “Choice TV Reality/ Variety Show” at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards show. The show will begin its fourth season in August 2008. Patridge recently completed production on her first film role, MGM Home Entertainment’s Into the Blue 2: The Reef (2009) (V). In the film, Patridge stars opposite Chris Carmack and Laura Vandervoort as “Kelsey”, a no-nonsense, beautiful beach babe whose boyfriend caters to her every command. Born the eldest of four children in Downey, California, Audrina has always aspired to become an actress in Hollywood and, as soon as she turned 18, she signed with a small management company in LA. She honed her craft by participating in drama classes and private acting lessons, taking a job at Quixote Studios as she waited for her big break. Living a stone’s throw away from the MTV production of “The Hills” (2006), Audrina was spotted sunbathing by the pool and asked by a producer if she would like to join the cast. She happily accepted her role as the dear friend of Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag in what was sure to be the beginning of her enticing career. Patridge has been a class act since she was a small child. Her grace and charismatic demeanor fuel her ability to light up the camera. Aside from her captivating film presence, Audrina is an accomplished artist and has been active in many activities such as martial arts, cheerleading, kickboxing and especially dance.

danica-patrickNo.9 – Danica Patrick
Born: 25 March 1982
Birthplace: Beloit, Wisconsin
Best Known As: The woman driver who finished fourth in the 2005 Indy 500
Even though Danica Patrick is hell-bent on taking over the testosterone-fueled world of IndyCar, she’s still very much in touch with her feminine side. She recently finished third at the Indy 500, but we’d like to assert that her sultry spreads in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and Shape will forever be career highlights, at least in our books. Danica Patrick placed fourth in the 2005 running of the Indianapolis 500, making her the top-finishing woman ever at the famous auto race. It was Patrick’s first Indy 500 appearance and she was named the race’s rookie of the year. Patrick began driving karts at age 10, then jumped up to the Formula Vauxhall Winter Series in England in 1998, when she was just 16. By 2002 she had signed a contract with Team Rahal. Her Indy 500 debut, combined with her youth, good looks, and the general paucity of women drivers in auto racing, made her a hit with fans and a sudden media favorite. Patrick is also the first woman ever to lead a lap at the Indy 500; driving for the Rahal Letterman team, she led for 19 laps of the 2005 race. She won rookie of the year that year and finished 12th in circuit points. With high hopes pinned on her for the 2006 season, she finished 9th for the year but failed to win a big race. She jumped from Rahal Letterman Racing in 2007 to join Andretti Green Racing, and in 2008 became the first woman to win an IndyCar race (the Japan Indy 300). According to her official site, Patrick is 5′2″ tall and weighs 100 pounds… She was the second woman to win rookie of the year honors at Indianapolis; Lyn St. James won in 1992… The 2005 Indy 500 was won by Englishman Dan Wheldon… Patrick was born in 1982, five years after Janet Guthrie became the first woman ever to drive in the Indy 500… Women to drive in the Indy 500 before Patrick include Guthrie (1977-79), St. James (1992-97, 2000), and Sarah Fisher (2000-2004). Another female, Desire Wilson, passed the Indy 500 driver’s test in 1982 but failed to qualify for the race… On 19 November 2005 she married Paul Hospenthal, a physical therapist and personal trainer.
Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies Bar Refaeli
These are our top 10 2009 beach bodies today with number 1. Enjoy No.1 – Bar Rafaeli. When Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen ended their tumultuous relationship in 2005, many thought the actor was mad to give up a woman often pegged as the most beautiful in the world. Then photos of Leo and a relatively unknown Israeli model named Bar Rafaeli surfaced, and the world collectively wondered, “Gisele who?” Since then, Rafaeli has emerged as one of the most recognizable supermodels in the world, and after gracing the cover of the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Bar instantly became the gold standard for bikinis in 2009.
sensation in print and on the catwalks in her native Israel, supermodel Bar Refaeli gained Hollywood attention thanks to her well-publicized, off-camera relationship with Titanic and Catch Me If You Can star Leonardo DiCaprio. Refaeli also posed for the 2008 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies Megan Fox
These are our top 10 2009 beach bodies today with number 2 . If you come back tomorrow you will find number 1 here, and so on for ten days long. Enjoy No.2 – Megan Fox. Megan Fox and the sun have one major thing in common: They’re both way too hot. Fox is the one actress in Hollywood who’s actually too attractive, to the point that it may actually prevent her from appearing in anything that doesn’t feature giant robots and/or her exposed midriff. A slender, olive-skinned actress whose elegant beauty is somewhat offset by a collection of vivid tattoos (including a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm and the +King Lear quote “We all laugh at gilded butterflies” on her right shoulder blade), Megan Fox knew she wanted to be an actress from age three, and never once considered another line of work. A native of Memphis, TN, Fox began taking dance lessons when she was five years old and continued perfecting her graceful movements even after her family relocated to Florida five years later. At 13, the aspiring starlet enrolled in modeling and acting classes. It didn’t take long for all of Fox’s hard work to pay off, with a role in the 2001 Olsen twins comedy Holiday in the Sun marking the ambitious actress’ official screen debut. Over the course of the next few years, Fox became a frequent fixture on television thanks to roles on What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men, and Hope && Faith. In 2004, Fox would torment a fledgling Lindsay Lohan in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, though it was Fox’s performance as a human caught in the middle of an epic robot battle that would truly prove her calling card to Hollywood. Cast as the love interest of Shia LaBeouf in Michael Bay’s 2007 blockbuster Transformers, Fox turned more than a few heads while fighting for the future of the human race. In 2008, Fox could be spotted opposite Kirsten Dunst, Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges, and Gillian Anderson in the Robert B. Weide-directed comedy How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies Heidi Montag
These are our top 10 2009 beach bodies today with number 3 . If you come back tomorrow you will find number 2 here, and so on for ten days long. Enjoy No.3 – Heidi Montag Since joining The Hills in 2006, Heidi Montag has alienated America’s sweetheart and former best friend Lauren Conrad, married notorious Spencer Pratt, and erroneously referred to herself as a singer. If you saw the music videos, please let us recommend a doctor. About the only thing she’s done right has been to showcase her surgically enhanced body to the world in a series of obviously staged, bikini-clad paparazzi photo shoots. In April, Heidi signed on to appear in the reality show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! which will be shot in Costa Rica, meaning, you guessed it: all Heidi, all bikini, all the time.One of the many “instant celebrities” who achieved fame by virtue of the reality-television phenomenon that overtook Hollywood during the early years of the millennium, . This program — a spin-off of the earlier Laguna Beach (2004) — observed events from the lives of a couple of young L.A. socialites enduring the ups and downs of a melodramatic reality television life, with all of the inclusive breakups, ugly gossip, backbiting, friendship-destroying quarrels, and a whirlwind of other complications that such a lifestyle entails. Montag also made headlines (and a magazine cover or two) when she received extensive plastic surgery in the fall of 2007.
Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies Marisa Miller
These are our top 10 2009 beach bodies today with number 4 . If you come back tomorrow you will find number 3 here, and so on for ten days long. Enjoy No.4 – Marisa Miller Everyone was put on this earth for a reason: Tom Hanks was put here to win Oscars, Alex Rodriguez was put here to lie and cheat, and Marisa Miller was put on this earth to wear bikinis. The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover girl and current face (and body) of Victoria’s Secret’s swimsuit campaign is widely considered one of the sexiest women alive. Finally, we understand what Mike Love meant when he wished they all could be California girls. Marisa Miller started out as a surfer, before becoming a model.
Marisa has always been a very sporty chick. She’s a big fan of football and basketball. She was a star volleyball player while she was at high school, leading the team to victory during her junior year with the team not losing a match during the whole season. But surfing had always been her first love. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the blonde babe’s love of surfing she may have never become a model. In 2001, she traveled to Southern California to catch some waves. Here a famous fashion photographer was on the beach and Marisa’s beauty caught her eye. He took some pictures of her, which led to Marisa being offered modelling work. Marisa was unsure whether to take up the opportunity, but with her mother’s support and advice:”You can always go back to school, but you can’t always model,” she decided to make the leap. But she didn’t get offered the amazing opportunities she dreamed of that easily. She started out as a nude model for Perfect 10 magazine, but this paid off and Marisa was offered the chance to grace the pages of Sports Illustrated’s famous Swimsuit Edition in 2001. This in turn brought her to the attention of influential figures in the modelling industry and soon after she was advertising lingerie for Victoria’s Secret catalogues. Her more recent modelling work includes campaigns for top brands like Tommy Hilfiger, J Crew and Nordstrom. She’s also appeared on the cover of Fitness and Shape magazine and fashion bible Vogue. Marisa’s rising profile led Sports Illustrated to get her back for their 2003 – 2006 Swimsuit Editions. Marisa recently decided she wants to university to arm herself with an education for when the modelling work stops flooding in. Unsurprisingly, sports feature in Marisa’s dreams for the future, she hopes to become a sports caster.
Top 10: 2009 Beach Bodies Katy Perry
These are our top 10 2009 beach bodies today with number 5 . If you come back tomorrow you will find number 4 here, and so on for ten days long. Enjoy No.5 – Katy Perry. In just under a year, Katy Perry has become the most ubiquitous pop star since Britney Spears in her heyday, all because she kissed a girl and just so happened to like it. Her debut album, One of the Boys, is a single machine and her love of vintage clothing and bold colors has her name fluttering off the lips of fashionistas from around the world. But it wasn’t until Katy Perry was paparazzied in a two-piece on the beaches of Mexico that she made the transition from kooky pop star into full-blown sex symbol. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Katy Perry: the best body in pop music. A former Christian artist who ditched the sacred sounds of CCM for a secular mix of sass and spunk, Katy Perry rose to prominence in summer 2008 by combining the cheeky, club-ready pop of Lily Allen with the commercial pop/rock of Avril Lavigne and Alanis Morissette. Born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, CA, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson grew up in a Christian household as the daughter of two pastors. Though she was not allowed to listen to secular music as a child, she later found herself captivated by Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury, having discovered Queen’s music during a slumber party. Religious music remained at the forefront, however, and Katy released a self-titled Christian album in 2001 under the name Katy Hudson. She would later abandon the genre (and her original surname) in favor of a pop career. At age 17, the burgeoning songwriter began working with hitmaker Glen Ballard, who had produced and co-written Alanis Morissette’s chart-topping Jagged Little Pill in 1995. Several years later, she teamed up with the Matrix, a Grammy-nominated production/songwriting team whose résumé included collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Korn. Tired of producing music for other artists, the Matrix had plans to record their own album with Perry serving as one of the group’s two singers. The project was ultimately shelved, but not before Perry appeared in a 2004 write-up by Blender magazine, who hailed her as “The Next Big Thing!” With the Matrix’s unreleased album sitting in the vaults at Sony Records, Perry went back to the drawing board and ultimately signed with Columbia in 2007. Her debut single, “UR So Gay,” generated a modest buzz with its mischievous lyrics and accompanying music video. However, “I Kissed a Girl” proved to be her true breakthrough single, topping the charts in 20 countries and pushing its accompanying album, 2008’s One of the Boys, into the Top Ten in America. Perry supported her debut by joining the Warped Tour that summer, where she toured alongside boyfriend Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Meanwhile, “Hot N Cold” became her second number one hit, and a third single (”Thinking of You,” one of album’s three songs written solely by Perry) cracked the Top 40. As 2008 gave way to 2009, Katy Perry emerged as one of the industry’s brightest pop icons, celebrated as much for her outsized behavior and outrageous fashion sense as the music itself.

Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio was born on April 11, 1981, in the small town of Erexim, Rio Grande do Sul. Her first big modeling job was the cover of the Brazilian Elle magazine. Alessandra has made several television appearances as herself on HBO’s Entourage and Late Night with Conan O’Brien as well as Project Runway season 2: Team Lingerie and The Tyra Banks Show.

When she’s not modeling, Alessandra enjoys sandboarding and lounging on the beach listening to Brazilian music. She is also a national ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Gisele Bundchen isn’t the only Brazilian body making waves internationally. Tyra Banks has referred to Alessandra Ambrosio as “the future of modeling,” and she earned the No. 6 spot on the 2009 Top 99.

Enjoy No.7 – Kim Kardashian Although she may be everywhere these days, we still have trouble figuring out why Kim Kardashian is famous. Is it because she’s friends with Paris Hilton? Is it because we’ve all seen her on tape with Brandy Norwood’s little brother and posing for Playboy? Is it because she has her own reality show or perhaps because Hollywood hasn’t seen a butt like that since Jennifer Lopez’s? No, Kim Kardashian, is the wealthy daughter of the high-powered defense attorney Robert Kardashian and Kris Kardashian (and the stepdaughter of Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner), grew up in Beverly Hills, CA, and attended an exclusive all-girls Catholic high school in the City of Angels. As a young woman, Kardashian worked at her father’s music marketing firm, Movie Tunes, then parlayed her entrepreneurial instincts into a successful career as a wardrobe stylist for television programs, magazine photo layouts, and infomercials. She also gained attention in the mid- to late 2000s for her friendship with heiress and media darling Paris Hilton. In terms of on-camera roles, Kardashian’s resumé sports appearances on The Simple Life and a stint as one of the co-stars on the N network’s Beyond the Break series. She also runs her own production shingle, Kimsaprincess Productions, LLC. In 2007, The Hollywood Reporter indicated that Kardashian had signed with the E! network to host her own reality series that fall, in the wake of The Simple Life’s departure.

It began broadcasting on August 24, 1990, in Surabaya, East Java, broadcasting only to the city and surrounding area. In 1991 SCTV Bali was established in Denpasar. At this point the programming was similar to that of RCTI and used some of their news programs until they could produce their own. In 1993 it was given a national license, and eventually moved its operations to Jakarta, the main office in South Jakarta and studios in West Jakarta. It is owned by the Sariaatmadja group. Its motto is "Satu Untuk Semua" ("One for All") and "Berbagi Sensasi" ("Give Sensation"). During the 2006 World Cup, it holds the monopoly as the only broadcaster to broadcast the event. It famous for its soap operas, such as Suci, Chelsea and Zahra.
Indonesia Television Station
Prior to the last decade, television in Indonesia consisted of only the government channel, Televisi Republik Indonesia (TVRI). In 1988, the first private television station began broadcasting, Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia (RCTI) which over the last 10 years has been joined by Indosiar, Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV), ANTeve, Televisi Pendidikan Indonesia (TPI), Global TV, TV 7, Lativi, Trans TV and Bali TV. Metro TV features frequent news broadcasting and foreign programming. Thus, Indonesian viewers have one government station and a good selection of private television stations to view programming on.
Programming on the government channel is dominated by documentaries, music, culture and the news, with no advertising and only a small amount of foreign programming. The private TV channels offer a wide range of local and foreign programming, with LOTS of commercial interruptions.
Since the economic crisis hit in 1997, the stations have seen significant cuts in advertising revenue, which has resulting in a cutback in broadcasting hours as well as less new programming. Re-runs are rampant! For night owls that love to watch late night TV, the cut back in broadcasting hours at many stations have curbed late night viewing habits.
Some differences between TV in Indonesia and at home:
* Subtitles on foreign programs can help you to learn Bahasa Indonesia, though be forewarned ... the translations are often incorrect.
* News broadcasting is in its infancy on the private stations - but the quality is steadily improving.
* Most commercials are in the Indonesian language.
* 10 to 20-year-old movies and old series predominate programming, providing nostalgic viewing.
* Chinese martial arts, Indian films and Latin American soap operas are popular with Indonesian viewers. These foreign films have Indonesian subtitles or have been dubbed in Indonesian or English.
* Government ceremonies and speeches may pre-empt regularly scheduled programming.
News Programming
In the past, news was only broadcast from the government's television station, TVRI. Fortunately now private television stations also broadcast their own news programs; the best of these are Liputan 6 on SCTV and Seputar Indonesia on RCTI, both in Bahasa Indonesia. Metro TV runs news programming on the hour and is considered by many to be Indonesia's CNN. All of the private stations have early morning news programs as well. Check the Jakarta Post's TV Today column for current news schedules.
Nowadays, private TV stations are seen to have more comprehensive local news coverage than the government station with much less censorship of current events. The professional qualities of these news shows are still in an early stage as news shows are a relatively new venture for private TV stations.
TV Systems
In Indonesia, television broadcasts utilize the PAL system, 250 volts and 50 cycles. International brands of televisions are available for purchase in Indonesia, Japanese and Korean brands dominate the market. The lag in availability of new models and technologies from the country of origin is only about six months. If you choose to bring your TV from home, and it does not use the PAL system, it will not be able to receive local TV broadcasts.
TV compatibility depends on 1) electricity (here it's 220 V), and 2) television broadcast system (here it's PAL). Video Compact Disc and DVD machines are available for purchase in Indonesia.
Video Tapes, Laser Discs, Video Compact Discs and Digital Versatile Discs
During your stay in Indonesia you may want to watch videos tapes that you've brought with you from home. If they are recorded using another TV system (for example, NTSC or SECAM), you would have to purchase a multi-system TV and a multi-system video player in order to view them as well as receive local broadcasts. Multi-system equipment can be purchased in Indonesia or in your home country.
In the past, the predominant video format used in Indonesia was Betamax. In the early 1990s, the government cracked down on uncensored and illegally duplicated videos (especially the widely available pornography) and most of the video stores were closed. Some expatriate organizations, and a few local businesses still rent videos in the VHS format ... and subsequently the illegal movies just moved to VCD format.
Video rental has now been mostly replaced with the more up-to-date technology of VCDs and DVDs. Video disc and DVD rental stores can be found throughout most cities in Indonesia. Depending on the rental store you frequent, you can find a wide selection of foreign family, action, drama, comedy, mystery and Mandarin-language films.
Many recent box office smashes are available on VCD for around Rp 45-55,000. These are legal copies. The movies are usually released in Indonesia on VCD about 4 months after they are released in the movie theaters in the US. Some golden oldies, classics and popular stage shows are also available in VCD format. Illegal copies of VCDs are available for a very cheap price, if you don't wish to rent. The quality of the recording, however, is not very good and with time usage may ruin your VCD machine!
DVD (digital versatile discs) are also now becoming more available. The hardware is still relatively expensive compared to VCD players and discs are more expensive as well. However, picture quality is far supreme to LD or VCD. Most DVD hardware available in Indonesia has been programmed to play all region software. Original recording DVDs cost about Rp 200-300,000 each.
Despite the government's intentions to stamp out pornography by banning videos, the programming is also widely available to the general public at your local VCD rental store. Many small rental stores carry uncensored soft porn movies mixed with the titles or other display, usually categorized under Mystery Suspense. The rental store's only concession to the censors is to black out the near naked bodies on the disc jackets. The soft porn films are mixed in with the true mystery/suspense titles. Be familiar with the store and watch your kids as they browse to avoid surprises.
The hard-core X and XXX rated movies are usually not displayed but are offered to regular customers or those customers the owners know well. This is highly illegal and if caught, the authorities could charge the rental store as well as the renter.
Cable TV
Within limited areas in Jakarta, primarily in middle and upper class housing complexes, apartment and commercial complexes cable television is available through Kabelvision, Astro and Indovision. If you're lucky enough to be in an area in which the fibre option and coaxial cable has already been laid, you can subscribe and have access to many major international channels in your home without having to make the expensive purchase of a satellite receiver equipment. The programming is current, features international channels and includes news, music, movies, documentary, cartoon, sports, family entertainment and local channels.
Another advantage of a cable television subscription is that their multimedia cable may be able to provide broadband Internet access in your home. Check with the companies to see what they offer. Foreign programming dominates the cable TV channels in Indonesia, though there are some efforts being made to introduce local content (Indonesian programming) as well.
Cable TV is also available in Surabaya. Two firms offer cable TV and broadband connections in major hotels in Bali.

Satellite Pay Television
If you are not residing in an area with access to cable TV services, the only way to receive international channel broadcasts is through installing a satellite dish outside your home. If the home you are interested in moving into does not have a satellite dish, negotiate with the landlord to have one installed. Most better apartment complexes and housing estates offer satellite pay television (or cable TV) services to their residents.
Direct Broadcast Satellite/Pay Television has been offered since 1994 through Indovision. Indovision sells the decoder, receiver and satellite dish along with installation (approx. Rp 6 million). The decoder is enabled with a viewing card. The cost of the monthly subscription depends on the number of movie channels you subscribe to in addition to the basic package. Another DTH (Direct to Home) industry players are Indonusa.
Previously, satellite transmission were dependent on the Palapa satellite, which required large 9-10 feet satellite dishes. You could receive broadcasts from Malaysia, Australia and the Philippines in addition to Indovision programming. Currently, however, Indovision uses the Cakrawarta satellite, which requires a much smaller satellite dish of only 80 cm. You can not, however receive transmissions from neighboring countries via the Cakrawarta satellite.
TV Tax
Every television owner is required to pay a television tax to the foundation that runs the government television station. The money collected is intended to take the place of revenue from advertising, since TVRI is not allowed to air commercials.
A collector will come to your home and ask you to pay a monthly amount based on the size of your television. If you are at all uncertain as to the legitimacy of this person, check his documents or ask your Kepala RT (Neighborhood Chief) if this is the correct person to whom you should be paying the tax.
This collector will issue you a TV tax book and a tax stamp is affixed for every month you pay the tax. You may prefer to pay for one year in advance so that you don't have to worry about the monthly collection of the TV tax.
The tax is small (Rp 6,000/month for a 21" TV) and is calculated per TV. The collectors know how many TVs you have by how many antennas they can see from the street in the front of your house.
If you are not approached and asked to pay the tax, don't worry about it. You can start paying it once they 'find' you! After paying they may adhere a sticker to your front gate, so the entire neighborhood will know that you've paid!
TV Coverage outside Jakarta
While the government television station, TVRI is accessible throughout most of Indonesia, most of the private television stations have limited broadcast areas. This has led to a proliferation of satellite dishes in rural areas - not so that the residents can watch international broadcasts, but so that they can watch Indonesian television programming.
Most multinational firms with camps in remote locations utilize a satellite dish to receive local or international broadcasts, which are then routed to the individual homes or dormitories via cable.

Rihanna cancels Jakarta concert for second time
Rising pop star Rihanna canceled her concert in Jakarta for the second time on Tuesday following news of a violent row with her boyfriend.
"We regretfully announce that the concert has been canceled for the second time," the spokesperson for the Jakarta concert sponsor-promoter, Anita Avianty, said as quoted by
tempointeraktif.com.
Anita said the cancellation came after an incident that happened last week between Rihanna and boyfriend, singer Chris Brown.
The Associated Press reported earlier that on a night in which Brown was supposed to deliver a prime-time Grammy performance, he was instead being processed in a Los Angeles police station on a charge connected to an alleged assault on a woman reports have identified as his girlfriend Rihanna, the 20-year-old pop princess.
Brown was booked on a suspicion of making a criminal threat after he and an unidentified woman had an argument that escalated into a fight in a ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood, according to police; Rihanna and Brown pulled out of the Grammys hours before the Sunday telecast.
Anita said the cancellation was beyond the promoter's control. However, she said, all paying customers would get a full refund plus Rp 200,000 worth of phone credit each from the main sponsor, GSM telecommunication service provider Axis.
Customers would also be given priority sales offer for a ticket to see the life performance of Jazon Mraz at the Axis Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival on March 7.
"Ticket refunds will be distributed from on Feb. 11 at all outlets that previously sold the tickets," she said.
