Charice: Ski Ball with Life Savers

Charice tries out her ski-ball skills as she plays games with fans at Bowlmor Lanes Times Square during a Life Savers Gummies event on Tuesday afternoon (June 14) in New York City.

The 18-year-old singer/actress caught up with our friends at ELLEgirl to dish on the event and rooting for Team Orange.

“It’s my favorite flavor, and at the same time, I love his [orange's] background, and I can totally relate to him. He was the underdog in this flavor vote. It feels great to support something, I mean it’s not a person, but it feels great to support something to see from 35,000 votes to a million votes. It’s amazing. But, I’m just saying that everybody can vote for their favorite flavor, it’s just very exciting,” Charice shared.

You can vote NOW for the next flavor of Life Savers Gummies. Voting closes June 30th, so hurry!

Charice is also pictured earlier last month at the WBO welterweight title fight in Las Vegas.
