The Japanese looking Sugababe is Mutya Buena. Paolo Montalban, who played opposite Brandy in Cinderella and was a part of Mortal Kombat is also Pinoy. Can I also add Billy Joe Crawford, Lea Salonga, and Jasmine Trias...

OK got these facts after googling the part-filipina members of these bands...

Mutya Buena of Sugababes is part Spanish, English, Filipino and Chinese
Lisa Scott Lee formerly of Steps, is 3/4 British and 1/4 Filipino
Nicole Scherzin of Pussycat Dolls is of Hawaiian-Russian-Filipino descent

Did you mean that the stars are part pinoy or only their characters? Some of the celebs you listed here are only rumored to be part-filipino (like Prince, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez). Lou Diamond Philips played Ritchie Valens in La Bamba (who's certainy not pinoy, Valens is mexican) and Phoebe Cates played a princess from a made-up kingdom/country.

I found a website listing some of the famous filipino-americans today:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Filipino_Americans

The list include the following artists/celebrities:

Kirk Hammett of Metallica
Cheryl Burke, Dancer, Dancing with the Stars (Filipino mother)
Phoebe Cates, actress (Filipino grandparent)
Jocelyn Enriquez, singer
Honey Labrador, host of Queer Eye For The Straight Girl
Victoria Principal, actress

Take note that these are only the fil-am celebrities. There's quite a few more there from asia, europe and australia.

Also on that wikipedia list(but now gone) is:

Rachel Bilson - The OC actress.

No idea if its true. It just said she had filipino blood

Daniel Campos aka Cloud - one of Madonna's new dancers is half-Pinoy; he's featured in the Hung Up & Sorry videos

The one from Sex and the City and Hitch - I dunno his name but he is also a broadway actor

Sway Penala - from this year's American Idol

Let's include French-Filipina designer Monique Lhuillier to the list. Her gowns were recenlty worn by stars like Zhang Ziyi, Mary Steenburgen, among others. at the recent Oscars. She also designed Britney's wedding gown when she got married to thatFeatehrsoemthing guy.

When I was living in Thailand, I've learned of some Thai stars who have Pinoy blood. Foremost among them was Christina Aguilar (not Aguillera) who's the "Thai Madonna", daughter of a Pinoy pianist and a Frenchwoman. Then there's Fil-Am actor Billy Hogan and Fil-German tv star Johnny Anfone.

Oooh, they front-acted for us when Kundirana performed in San Francisco back in 1998. They're really good. There are lots of pinoy groups that are really good too. Ja'a (all of them are pinoy except for two indian/pakistani) would blow Acafellas out of competition. They're that good.

Too bad most of these guys would only say that they are of Chinese, Spanish and Filipino descent. They never directly say that they are half-Filipino except for Rob Schneider. Duh nearly every Filipino is of Chinese and Spanish descent. We were conquered for 300 years by the Spaniards and the Chinese are everywhere.

Eileen Boylan who plays Kyla Woods from The-N's South of Nowhere. (I think she was in the Alexa Vega movie "Sleepover.")

Cassie Steele who plays Manny/Manuela Santos in that little known series

Degrassi the Next Generation. Her sister's in it too. (Cassie also played the young Tia Carrere in Relic Hunter.)

Also, the people who play her parents, I feel like I've seen them before.
