LOVI DENIES SHE'S SETTLING DOWN SOON

2012-01-14T00:26:00.000-08:00

LOVI Poe sizzles in her role as Natasha, the b!tchy heiress of the Alcantara family who will inherit the riches of her grandpa Don Romualdo (Eddie Garcia) and her dad (Dennis Trillo as a younger man and later, Robert Seña) in “Legacy” that airs on Monday after “Munting Heredera” replacing “Amaya” that ends tonight.

“Anak ako kay Cherie Gil at ako lang ang kinikilalang anak ng dad ko,” she says. “I help manage our company that makes beauty products. Boss ako roon, then I found out na meron palang illegitimate daughter ang dad ko, si Heart Evangelista, na anak niya sa isang dati nilang factory worker, Jackielou Blanco. Siyempre, hindi ko matanggap, lalo na ng malaman kong there’s yet another illegitimate child, si Alessandra de Rossi, na anak naman ng dad ko sa isang bold star, Maritoni Fernandez. Marami kaming eksenang nagtatarayan, na umabot sa sabunutan namin ni Alex.”

What can she say about the revelation of Gov. Chavit Singson that she continued to visit his son Ronald while imprisoned in Hong Kong? “Well, let’s just say na hindi nawala talaga ang suporta ko sa kanya. I’m like that naman with friends, hindi ko basta binibitiwan. He’s a good person.”

Will she be there in Hong Kong when Ronald is released from jail this Saturday? “No, I’m taping for ‘Legacy.’”

It’s said Ronald wants to marry her soon. “It’s not true. He knows I still want to do so much in life. I’m still so young at 22. ‘Di ako ready mag-asawa. Ang daming magandang nangyayari sa career ko right now. Alangan naman talikuran ko na lang 'yun.”

Ryza Cenon on playing supporting roles and not lead roles: "Baka hindi ko pa talaga time."

2012-01-13T23:59:00.000-08:00

Ipinarating ng ilang kasamahan sa press ang opinyon nila na dapat ay isa si Ryza Cenon sa ipinu-push ng GMA-7, lalo na't homegrown talent siya bilang female winner ng StarStruck Batch 2.

Halatang natuwa naman si Ryza sa narinig.

Aniya, "Talaga? Pero siguro, baka hindi ko pa talaga time.

"Ayoko kasing magkaroon ng negative thoughts or feeling. Baka naman hindi ko pa talaga time.

"Ayoko kasi na mag-ano sa loob ko na baka ayaw nila sa akin, or baka hindi ako magaling.

"Ayoko ng negative."

Dugtong din niya, "Pero siyempre, masaya naman ako na may mga taong naniniwala sa akin na kaya ko.

"Na kaya kong panghawakan ang isang role na pang-bida.

"Masaya ako na may naniniwala sa akin sa bagay na 'yun."

Para kay Ryza, blessing sa kanya kahit na anumang trabaho ang dumating sa kanya.

Saad niya, "Hindi ko naman nararamdaman na baka may kulang or dapat na ganito, kasi araw-araw naman akong nagwo-work.

"Importante rin naman sa akin ang work. Kasi siyempre, nag-iisa na lang din naman ako.

"So, as much as possible, mas gusto ko ang gusto nilang [management] mangyari sa akin.

"Pero siyempre, paano, 'di ba? Hindi ko rin alam ang gagawin ko.

"Lahat naman ng ipinapagawa nila sa akin, ginagawa ko rin naman.

"Pero kung hindi pa rin nila ako mabigyan, it's okay naman din.

"Willing naman akong maghintay."

"So, siguro, posibleng maging kontrabida dahil may inggit ako sa kanya [Heart's role].

"Kung ano ang nangyayari sa kanya, 'yun ang dream ko, e."

BAGONG PROJECT. Nakapag-taping na si Ryza Cenon ng mga eksena niya para sa bagong primetime series ng GMA-7, ang Legacy.

Ang role niya rito ay kaibigan ni Heart Evangelista.

Pero hindi lang daw basta kaibigan o "best friend" ng bida ang character na ginagampanan niya.

Kuwento ni Ryza sa PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa press conference ng Legacy noong January 10, "'Yun pala ang role ko, parang may pagka-balimbing ng konti ang dating ng role.

"Kasi, sabi nila, doon susukatin ang pagiging magkaibigan namin sa pagiging inggitera ko, sa ambisyon ko."

Wala raw problema kay Ryza na gumanap ng kontrabida dahil nag-e-enjoy naman siya rito.

Sabi pa niya tungkol sa kanyang role, "Actually, hindi naman siya kontrabida, parang 'yun lang ang pagkakaintindi ko sa role ko.

"So, depende pa rin.

COVER GIRL. Matagal nang tinatanong kay Ryza kung kailan siya papayag magpa-sexy o mag-cover girl para sa men's magazine, lalo pa nga't marami ang naseseksihan sa kanya.

Pero ayon kay Ryza, may gusto pa siyang ma-achieve.

"Gusto ko munang mag-fashion. Maging cover sana ng mga fashion magazine bago ko siguro gawin 'yun.

"Wala namang masamang mangarap, 'di ba? Wala lang.

"Kasi, naisip ko, yung pagko-cover sa men's mag., siguro, 'yun na yung last na gagawin ko.

"Mas masarap pa rin na sana, kung puwede, mabigyan din ng chance na makapag-cover, or makita ko rin yung sarili ko as cover ng fashion mag, 'yun lang," saad ni Ryza.

Good Night Messages for Rhian Ramos from DJ Mo

2011-12-07T04:21:00.001-08:00

Here are the goodnight messages of DJ Mo:

I saw an old strand of your hair in the shower this evening. I miss you. Good night…

Ive been home for days in darkness. Not going outside in case you come home. Goodnight…..

Today I remembered when I picked you up at the Amsterdam airport. I had flowers, you were wearing all black. We kissed in public for the 1st time. It was amazing. Goodnight….

We spent the night on a bench in Central Park, right after going to the Apple Store at 2am to check the iPhone 4. I left a message in the inbox of the display phone for you to read. Please never forget. Goodnight….

I have mole right next to my upper lip. I always thought it was a blackhead but you insist it’s a mole and kiss it all the time. Goodnight….

We used to do crossword puzzles side by side and even over the phone. We graduated into other things like Monopoly, Boggle, and Hidden Objects. These were simple games but we made an awesome team. I miss you, Goodnight….

Every country we visited, we kissed a lot. Especially reaching over the table at one of those fancy restaurants. We always kissed. There was never enough of it. Goodnight….

We checked into our hotel in Athens Greece and we told them we were on our honeymoon just so we could possibly get an upgrade. We ended even getting assigned a butler. We called for room service and the operator answered, “Yes Mrs Gumatay?” And you always got a kick out of that. Goodnight. I miss you….

You were intern ‘Denise’ on my the Podcast during the first week, taking calls and you were so good at it. You helped shape the story to make it interesting. Goodnight, I miss you.

I would never rudely wake you up. It was always a slow, gentle process. “Im sorry to wake you, my love.” With hugs, kisses, and pats on the head. When you stand, I’d kneel down and put the sandals on your feet. every single time. I miss you. Goodnight…

I was in Paris, you were in Singapore. We were talking on the phone as we usually do and I wanted to get you a bag. So you went into the store and I went into the store to look at the same bag, style, and colour. When you decided which one you liked, I bought it, on the other side of the world. It was fun, because we made our distance closer and an activity I enjoyed together. Goodnight I miss you….

October 2010. Your birthday month. I made sure that every week you got some really great gift. Your birthday never ended. Weeks past, and I’d still greet you. I miss you. Goodnight….

Tosh.0 was favorite our show. We’d order some expensive restaurantdelivery food, sit on our huge dining room and watch and laugh. Crab, we had crab, big ones. It didn’t matter how much it cost, I would pay nearly anything to see you happy at home. I miss you. Goodnight….

You would write on the bathroom mirror with crayon. They were great pieces of artwork-worthy of the Louvre. And I never erased it. I’d hold on to it until the condensation would take it away. Then, you’d make your next creation. I especially loved the one when you drew an outline of me so when I got home, it said ‘Stand here’ and I’d stand in it. And there was a kiss waiting for me because of the position I was in. I miss you.Goodnight….

We were walking in Paris on our first night there and we came across a street called Rue De Rohan. We said, ‘that’s our street’ because of the play on our names. We kept repeating the street name over and over throughout our trip. Goodnight, I miss you….

We first started holding hands in public that day we went to Ansons near Glorietta. I was really happy. We were holding hands in the car, we usually then ‘break’ when we get out. But today, you didn’t care. You held it even inside and I was thrilled. A big victory that day. I miss you, Goodnight….

You were in New York for work, I was in Manila. I decided to make dinnerreservations at Nobu in Manhattan. I booked a flight and headed 20hrs your way for dinner that night. I was already wearing a suit coat rushing from the airport because I didn’t want to be late for this fancy restaurant, stormed into the hotel room to see if you were ready and there you were in your bathrobe. We could have missed our reservations and I wouldn’t have cared, it was just great to see you. I miss you. Goodnight….

You came w/ me to a meeting for Podcast sponsors. I was supposed to make a presentation and as I tried connecting with them, you blurted out an idea of yours and they loved it. You started taking over the presentation and everyone was so amazed at what you had to say. Youre so smart and I miss you. Goodnight….

You got the new car and wanted so much to drive it. So we were in Tagaytay driving around and you did such a great job. Rarely was I ever scared, you were so happy about the car. I miss you, goodnight…”

Pauleen Luna is now Vic Sotto's Girlfriend!

2011-12-06T20:21:00.001-08:00

There’s an exclamation point in today’s headline as a way to herald a new chapter in Vic Sotto’s checkered love life — and in Pauleen Luna’s, too!

Yes, they are “officially” an item as confirmed to Funfare by somebody close to them, that’s why you must have noticed some very subtle sweetness in the way they treat each other on Eat, Bulaga! where Vic is “bossing” and Pauleen now the show’s new “first lady,” replacing Vic’s ex-girlfriend Pia Guanio who is now happily married to Steve Mago.

Notice any, uhm, slight friction between Pia and Pauleen? None so far. Pia is happy with her new love and Vic should be with his. Live and let live, love and let love.

Now, did you know that Vic and Pauleen are somewhat connected? When Pauleen was at ABS-CBN, Jericho Rosales was reported to have shown interest in her, much to the chagrin of Kristine Hermosa who was then Jericho’s girlfriend. Now, Kristine is the wife of Vic’s son Oyo (the couple has a months-old child). Small world, isn’t it?

If you see somebody who looks like Vic Sotto with somebody who looks like Pauleen Luna perhaps having a quiet dinner in an A-list restaurant or vacationing in a neighboring province (soon, abroad?), you should know who they are.

Heart Evangelista, pinagbawalang dumikit kay Daniel Matsunaga!

2011-12-06T02:59:00.001-08:00

Nag-celebrate ng kanyang birthday last Monday ang Brazilian-Japanese model-turned-actor na si Daniel Matsunaga.

Dumating nga ulit ang kanyang pamilya sa Pilipinas at dumiretso sila ng Palawan para roon i-celebrate ang birthday ni Daniel.

Balita ngang hindi nakasama ang girlfriend ni Daniel na si Heart Evangelista dahil nagdahilan ito na merong previous commitment.

Pero from a reliable source, may pumigil daw kay Heart na sumama sa pagpunta sa Palawan. Ready na raw si Heart pero bigla raw itong nag-back-out dahil pinigilan daw ito.

Dagdag pa ng source namin na dapat ay kasama rin si Daniel sa cast ng drama series na Legacy ng GMA-7.

Nasabihan na raw ito pero bigla raw itong inalis sa cast. Nagulat nga raw ang management ni Daniel at tinanong kung bakit biglang natanggal sa Legacy si Daniel. Ang sagot sa kanya ay meron daw nagpatanggal kay Daniel at nagulat din sila na wala na ito sa final cast.

Nagkaroon ng pictorial ang cast ng Legacy sa GMA-7 noong Tuesday pero maaga raw natapos si Heart at umalis ito agad.

Wala tuloy naka-interview sa kanya kung totoong may pumigil sa kanya sa pagpunta nito sa Palawan at kung ano ang reaction niya na bigla nawala sa cast ng Legacy ang boyfriend nito.

May gusto kayang sumira sa magandang samahan nila Heart at Daniel?

Lovi Poe Bagong Endorser ng Red Horse Beer

2011-12-06T02:54:00.001-08:00

KAHAPON ang first taping day ni Lovi Poe para sa bago niyang primetime series sa GMA 7 na Legacy.

Katambal niya rito si Geoff Eigenmann sa unang pagkakataon.

Tinapos ni Lovi kahapon nang 4:00 AM ang Metro Manila Film Festival 2011 entry ng Regal Entertainment na Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.

Kahit puyat-puyatan siya ay dumeretso siya sa first taping day ng Legacy.

“Okay lang naman, Tito Jun. Kahit puyat, thankful pa rin ako na maraming trabahong dumarating sa akin.

“Kung minsan, halos sa kotse na lang ako natutulog, pero okay lang po. Very thankful ako sa lahat ng blessings na dumarating sa career ko,” pahayag ni Lovi.

Pumirma si Lovi kamakailan ng kontrata bilang bagong endorser ng Red Horse Beer.

Lalabas ang TV commercial niya para sa nasabing produkto bago magtapos ang taong kasalukuyan.

“Malaking karangalan sa akin na ako ang napili ng Red Horse Beer management para sa kanilang bagong TV commercial.

“I’m so proud of my new endorsement. Ang ganda ng TV commercial na ginawa namin! Nakakatuwa na before the end of the year eh ilalabas na po ‘yon,” pahayag ni Lovi.

Early next year ilalabas ang third album ni Lovi, kaya makikita na naman nating kumakanta-kanta sa mga TV show at malls si Lovi para i-promote ‘yon.

Despite her busy schedule, marami ang nakakapansin na blooming at lalong gumaganda si Lovi, kaya marami tuloy ang nagdududang baka may inililihim na inspirasyon sa buhay ang dalaga.

May boyfriend ba ngayon si Lovi?

“Tito Jun, alam mo namang wala akong boyfriend ngayon, kaya wala talagang ganyang inspirasyon.

“Pero siyempre, inspired ako sa dami ng projects ko, lalo na sa pagdating ng Red Horse Beer endorsement,” pahayag pa ng dalaga.

Lovi gets starstruck by Cherie Gil

2011-12-06T02:43:00.001-08:00

HINDI na talaga itinago ng magandang young sexy actress na si Lovi Poe ang labis na paghanga sa isa sa mga iniidolo niyang artista na si Cherie Gil.

Na-starstruck ang byuti ni Lovi nang makasama niya si Cherie sa first day taping niya para sa latest soap ni Lovi sa GMA7 na Legacy.

Sa isang panayam kay Lovi, talaga raw kinabahan siya nang husto nang kunan ang eksena nila ni Cherie. Halos nangatog daw ang kanyang tuhod sa galing ng “pagbato” ng mga linya ni Cherie.

Mother ni Lovi si Cherie sa naturang soap kung kaya mas marami pang eksena na tiyak na magkasama silang dalawa. Hindi kaya maging uncomfortable si Lovi kapag laging kasama ang kanyang idol?

Say ni Lovi, noong una raw na nagsama sila ni Cherie talagang super-kaba siya, pero nang makunan na ang first scene nilang magkasama, naging very accommodating na raw si Cherie na naging daan para mapalagay ang loob niya sa hinahangaang aktres.

Jolina excitedly walk to the altar while the song “Moonriver” was being played. The couple initially planned to write their marriage vows but was unable to do it.

“Ikaw ang pinakamagandang regalo ni God," Jolina said to Mark during the exchange of vows.

She continued, "Sabi ko, sasabihin ko na lang kung anong nararamdaman ko para sa iyo. Lahat ng nandito, lahat ng in-invite natin dito, alam nila kung gaano kita kamahal."

Jolina even cracked a joke. “Pagpasensiyahan mo na kung minsan naghihintay ka ng limang oras dahil nasa banyo ako. Kung matangkad at mestiza lang ako, promise three minutes lang ako sa banyo. Pasensiya ka na kung minsan, ang daldal-daldal ko."

Mark shed tears when he recited his vows.

"Ikaw ang nag-ilaw sa buhay ko," he told Jolina with tears cascading on his face.

He promised Jolina that “mamahalin kita habang buhay at araw-araw...Ikaw ang buhay ko. Mula ngayon, para sa iyo ang lahat."

Among the couple’s guests, according to the PEP report, were Gibo Teodoro, Ronnie Puno, and Franklin Drilon, Celia Rodriguez, Mel Tiangco, Arnold Clavio, Jaya, Beverly Vergel, Judy Ann Santos, Angelika dela Cruz, Kyla, Rich Alvarez, “Party Pilipinas” mainstays Rachelle Ann Go, Jonalyn Viray, Aicelle Santos, Maricris Garcia, Diva Montelaba, Gian Magdangal, Sheree.

Also present were Anne Curtis, Tuesday Vargas, LJ Reyes, Max Collins, Paolo and Suzi Abrera, Rhea Santos, Wilma Doesnt, Nikki Valdez and Kaye Abad.

A picnic-style reception followed after the Christian garden wedding.

Carmеn Sorіano aѕ Lolа Señora, Rаquel’s mother who hаs а ѕoft ѕроt for Kаthеrіnе.

Thе twо arе inѕeраrаble untіl а landѕlide strikеѕ theіr соmmunitу, whісh cauѕeѕ Mylene tо suffer from amneѕiа.Whіle wеaring Mуlеnе’ѕ nеcklасe, Clariѕѕа еnds up іn a slum аreа, where shе growѕ uр іn the саrе оf a famіly of сrооkѕ.

Dingdong Dantes, ‘di trip na mag-live in sila ni Marian Rivera

2011-10-11T03:12:00.000-07:00

MARAMING MAGAGANDANG FEEDBACKS ang natanggap namin sa selebrasyon ng 16th anniversary ng Startalk nu’ng nakaraang Sabado.

Kasi pawang maiinit na isyu ang napag-usapan at mga explosive na tanong ang ibinato sa mga artistang involved sa isang pinag-usapang isyu.

Isa sa mainit na tanong ng Startalk kay Dingdong Dantes ay kung totoong nagli-live in na nga ba sila ni Marian Rivera.

Dingdong Dantes

Diretsong pinabulaanan ito ni Dingdong Dantes dahil sabi nga niya, may kanya-kanya silang ipinundar na titirhan nila at si Marian daw ay talagang tinitiyak nitong makauwi siya ng Cavite kahit once a month.

Minsan ay sinasamahan daw niya lalo na sa kung merong selebrasyon gaya rin nang pagsama ni Marian sa kanya kung may mga events sa kanilang bahay.

Pero nilinaw ni Dingdong Dantes na hindi sila magkapareho ng address.

Hindi naman daw siya kontra sa ideyang pagli-live in ng magkasintahan pero siyempre kanya-kanya namang trip ‘yun depende sa dalawa.

“Kanya-kanya ‘yan, eh. Para sa akin kung saan siyempre mas convenient para sa tao kung wala namang kumokontra, kanya-kanya ‘yun,” pahayag ng aktor.

Ang unang nabalitaan ko, magkasama ang dalawa na magbabakasyon sa Amerika para manood na rin ng laban nina Manny Pacquiao at Juan Manuel Marquez sa susunod na buwan.

Kasama raw nila ang kani-kaniyang Mommy, pero ang sabi naman ni Dingdong Dantes sa Startalk, hindi raw sila kasama.

Makikita lang daw doon nina Dingdong Dantes ang mga kamag-anak niya sa Las Vegas para makasama nila sa pagpapasyal.

Kailangan daw nila ng ilang araw na bakasyon para kahit papa’no ay makapag-recharge naman sila bago sila sumabak sa mas maraming trabaho.

Tuluy-tuloy na kasi iyan para sa promo ng pelikula nilang entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival. Segunda Mano ang kay Dingdong Dantes, kung saan makakasama niya si Kris Aquino, at Panday 2 naman ang kay Marian ka-partner siya rito ni Sen. Bong Revilla.

Bea Binene Malaki ang Pasasalamat sa Pahiram ng Isang Ina

2011-10-11T02:51:00.000-07:00

Malaki ang pasasalamat ni Bea Binene sa Pahiram ng Isang Ina dahil sa afternoon soap sa GMA-7 niya nalamang importante pa rin siya sa amang bigla na lang nag-walkout sa kanila ng kanyang ina.

“Nalaman ko at may nagkuwento sa akin na hindi man napanood ni Papa ang Tween Academy, pinapanood naman niya ang Pahiram.. at enough na sa akin ‘yun. Nang una kong malaman ‘yun, natuwa ako at teary-eyed ako,” amin ni Bea Binene.

Bea Binene

Ang pag-alis ng ama sa bahay nila rin ang binanggit ni Bea Binene na kulang sa buhay niya sa 14th birthday
niya sa November 14. Hindi nila makakasama ng mom niya ang ama pagpunta ng Hongkong para du’n mag-celebrate.

Hanggang November 11 na lang ang soap at isa sa hindi niya makakalimutan ay ang chance to work with Direk Joel Lamangan.

“Natakot ako sa kanya noong una, sa first taping day ko, ang 7a.m., call time, dumating ako ng 5am., at gumising ng 3 a.m., para hindi ma-late. Pero masarap siyang katrabaho, lahat tinuturo at pati continuity inaayos,” ani Bea Binene.

Dingdong umaming minsan lang umuuwi si Marian sa bahay sa Cavite

2011-10-11T02:02:00.000-07:00

PIK: Si Manny Pacquiao ang bagong endorser ng Bench. Pumirma ito ng kontrata nung isang araw.Kasabay ng opening ng kanyang Team Pacquiao sa SM Mall of Asia at doon din ginanap ang kanyang Manny Many Prizes.Sa gitna ng mga intriga sa kanila ni Jinkee Pacquaio, suportado pa rin siya ng huli at dumalo ito sa lahat ng mga events ng kanyang asawa nung araw na ’yun.Tumanggi lang si Jinkee na umapir sa Manny Many Prizes.

PAK: Totoo kayang sa Palawan lang pala ginaganap ang taping ng Survivor Philippines Celebrity Edition?May mga ilang kaganapan na kaming narinig doon pero nangako kaming hindi namin ito isusulat.Pero mukhang interesting ang mga pangyayari na tiyak susubaybayan ng mga manonood.

BOOM: Matutuloy pala ang ilang araw na bakasyon nina Dingdong Dantes at Marian Rivera sa Amerika.

Isasabay na rin nila ang panonood ng laban nina Pacquiao at Juan Manuel Marquez.

Kailangan nilang mag-recharge ng bonggang-bongga dahil sa rami ng gagawin nila hanggang sa matapos ang taon.Isa sa pagkakaabalahan nila ay ang kanilang entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival.

Segunda Mano ang entry ni Dingdong at kasama nito si Kris Aquino at Ang Panday 2 naman ang kay
Marian kasama si Sen. Bong Revilla, Jr.Ang unang nakarating sa amin na kuwento ay kasama nila ang kani-kanilang mommy pero hindi naman sabi ni Dingdong.

Makakasama lang nila ang ilang kamag-anak ng aktor na naka-base na roon sa Amerika.Samantala, itinatanggi ni Dingdong ang isang isyung inilabas ng Startalk tungkol sa live-in arrangement diumano nila ni Marian.

Pahayag ng aktor: “Alam mo we work very hard para mapundar ’yung gusto naming mapundar, and we were enjoying and reaping the benefits ng pinagtrabahuhan ko and that’s where I am and dun din siya.“Para sa akin ang totoong inuuwian ni Marian where her heart is, is in Cavite and she makes sure that she’s there at least once a month at kapag may pagkakataon sinasamahan ko siya and especially kapag may okasyon like Christmas, New Year, mga ganun. We consider those events very valuable that’s why especially kapag ako rin, meron din akong mga family gatherings I make sure she’s always there.”

Camille Prats' Husband Anthony Linsangan Dies of Cancer

2011-09-23T09:11:00.000-07:00

Pumanaw na ang mister ni Camille Prats na si Anthony Linsangan kaninang 8:45 ng umaga, September 23, sa Makati Medical Center. Ayon sa manager ni Camille na si Arnold Vegafria, "nasopharyngeal cancer" ang ikinasanhi ng pagkamatay ni Anthony. He was 31.

Ang nasopharyngeal cancer, ayon sa medicinenet.com, "is a disease in which malignant [cancer] cells form in the tissues of the nasopharynx [upper part of the throat]." Ayon pa sa nakuhang impormasyon ng Philippine Entertainment Portal), na-comatose daw si Anthony kahapon pagkatapos nitong mag-seizure. ANTHONY LINSANGAN. Ipinanganak si Anthony C. Linsangan noong October 12, 1979 sa Tondo, Manila.

Nagtapos siya ng B.S. Computer Science sa AMA Computer University-Makati. Sa naturang unibersidad din niya itinatag ang Wheels Auto Performance noong February 6, 2000, sa tulong ng kanyang kaibigan na si Christian V. Moises.

Pero walong taon ang lumipas, sarili naman niyang pamilya ang binuo ni Anthony. Ito'y nang ganapin ang civil wedding nila ng dating child star na si Camille Prats noong Enero 5, 2008, sa Los Angeles, California.

At dalawampung araw lamang ang lumipas matapos ang kanilang civil wedding ay isinilang ang anak nila na si Nathaniel Caesar P. Linsangan.

Dalawang taon matapos manganak ni Camille Prats, ginanap naman ang church wedding nila rito sa Pilipinas.

Naganap ito noong March 5, 2010 sa Santuario de San Antonio sa McKinley Road, Forbes Park, Makati City.

Ngunit sa loob pa lamang ng tatlong taong pagsasama ng mag-asawa, isang mabigat na pagsubok na ang dumating sa kanilang buhay. Kumalat ang mga usap-usapan na may sakit si Anthony.

Ngunit, nanatiling tahimik tungkol dito si Camille sampu ng kanilang pamilya. Hanggang noong nakaraang buwan, kinumpirma ni Camille Prats sa PEP sa thanksgiving presscon ng Munting Heredera na may sakit nga ang kanyang asawa.

Ngunit, tumangging magbigay ng anumang detalye ang aktres sa kalagayan ni Anthony. Ngayong araw, September 23, sumakabilang-buhay na si Anthony dahil sa sakit na cancer.

Ang mga labi ni Anthony ay ibuburol sa Heritage Park Chapel sa Taguig City. Sa kasalukuyan, nakikiusap ang pamilya Linsangan-Prats na respetuhin muna ang kanilang privacy sa oras na ito ng kanilang pagdadalamhati.

Inseparable Aljur Abrenica and Kylie Padilla

2011-09-18T07:59:00.000-07:00

SUPER-SWEET sina AljurAbrenica at Kylie Padilla sa fans day-cum-album promo tour ni Aljur sa Trinoma Activity Center last Friday. Pumunta daw si Kylie para suportahan si Aljur pero nagpaunlak siyang kumanta. Ikinakilig nang husto ng fans ang duet nila dahil punung-puno raw ng feelings ang pagkanta nila ng Please Be Careful with My Heart.Nang tanungin ng fans si Kylie kung ano ang pinagusto niyang parte ng katawan ni Aljur, sagot ni Kylie, ang mata raw ng aktor. Hindi nga mapaghiwalay ang dalawa dahil kung nasaan ang isa, andoon din daw ang isa. Tulad nu’ng rumampa si Aljur sa Cosmo Top 10 Single Men sa World Trade Center noong Sept. 15, present din ang dalaga ni Robin Padilla.“Andoon ako kay Aljur para sumuporta sa kanya. Pang-opening number si Aljur at hindi siya kasama sa Top 10 Single Men. Bale guest lang siya,” say ni Kylie.Paliwanag naman ni Aljur, pinapunta lang daw siya ng Century Tuna Hotdog para i-represent ang company at hindi siya kasama sa Top 10 Single Men.Nagulat din si Kylie sa ginawang pagto-topless ni Aljur kasi naman, kitang-kita ang abs ng hunk actor na pinapantasya ng mga kababaihan at bading.Pero mas na-shock daw si Kylie kaya nagtakip siya ng mga mata sa ginawang paghuhubad ng Top 10. First time daw kasi niyang pumunta sa ganitong affair.Halos everyday din na magkasama sina Aljur at Kylie dahil may movie sila kasama si Robin Padilla, entitled Mr. Wong, na co-produce ni Robin at ng Regal Films.Bukod sa Mr. Wong, si Aljur din ang bida sa Valentine’s Day movie offering ng GMA Films at makakasa-ma niya sina Rhian Ramos at Bela Padilla. Bukod dito, papasok na rin sa Aljur sa Amaya anytime this week.“Excited ako rito dahil si Marian ang partner ko. Alam mo naman kapag Marian ang project, laging patok,” nakangiting sabi ni Aljur.May naka-schedule ding concert ang Kapuso actor sa abroad . Dadalhin si Aljur ng Pinoy TV sa Japan sa Sept. 23-25, then on Oct. 28, nasa Los Angeles siya at sa Oct. 29, sa San Francisco. Ma-lapit na ring i-release ang third album niya na produced ng GMA Records. Kasama rito ang revival song na kapag kinakanta ni Aljur talagang tinitilian siya -- ang Hindi Ko Kaya -- na dating hit song ni Richard Reynoso.

Aljur gagawa ng pelikula kasama si Rhian

2011-09-18T07:50:00.000-07:00

Totoo palang gagawa ng pelikula sa GMA Films si Aljur Abrenica at hindi lang gawa-gawa para mabura ang isyung hindi tinanggap ng aktor ang Hitman ni Cesar Montano dahil ayaw magkontrabida.Sa interview kay Bela Padilla para sa successful nitong pagsali sa Asian Supermodel at kung saan, inuwi ang friendship award at napiling media darling, nabanggit na muli silang magkakatrabaho ni Aljur and this time, pelikula naman. Makakasama nila si Rhian Ramos sa wala pang title na pelikula na November na sisimulan ang shooting.Anyway, may balita ring papasok sa Amaya si Aljur, pero dahil wala pang sinasabi ang GMA Artist Center (GMAAC) at ang mga taga-Amaya, hindi pa makukumpirma kung totoo.Siyanga pala, this Friday, 5:00 p.m., sa Trinoma Activity Center ang album launch at fans day ni Aljur. Dumating kaya si Kylie Padilla para suportahan siya?

Matagal na lihim nabuking, Lovi Poe patay na patay kay Jericho Rosales

2011-09-18T07:36:00.000-07:00

Inalam namin kay Leo Dominguez, manager ni Lovi Poe, kung totoong hindi na sa pelikulang Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow kasama ang aktres dahil inilipat ng Regal Entertainment, Inc. sa Hototay, isa pa sa mga entries ng film company sa 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).Hindi “oo” at “hindi” ang sagot ni Leo kundi “Hindi papayag si Lovi. Super crush niya si Jericho (Rosales).” Nalaman tuloy namin ang matagal na sikreto ng dalaga na type niya ang aktor at tuwang-tuwa na makakasama niya ito sa Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow kaya ang nabanggit na pelikula ang mas pipiliin kesa Hototay.Wala pang formal announcement ang Regal kung saang pelikula talaga ilalagay si Lovi pero malaking dahilan din bukod kay Jericho kung bakit mas pipiliin niya ang Yesterday…, ay dahil makakasama rin niya sina Maricel Soriano at Gabby Concepcion na favorite nito.Ang iba pa sa cast ng Yesterday…, ay sina Carla Abellana at Dennis Trillo, kasama ni Lovi sa My Neighbor’s Wife at ang direktor nitong si Jun Lana pa rin ang direktor ng pelikula niya sa MMFF.

Behave na sina Mario Bautista at Carla Abellana

2011-09-18T07:28:00.000-07:00

Amused kami sa professional attitude nina Carla Abellana at colleague Mario Bautista sa presscon ng “Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Langit” na mapanonood na sa afternoon block ng GMA Network starting September 19.Dati kasi, nagkaroon sila ng heated confrontation sa isang Regal Entertainment presscon kung saan na-irritate talaga si Mario dahil ina-accuse raw siyang kinu-qoute si Carla without the benefit of an interview samantalang ni-lift lang naman daw ng aming colleague ang qoutation na ‘yun sa press release ng Regal.Anyway, that’s water under the bridge now since they have obviously smoked the peace pipe already and are more or less civil with each other.Anyway, bongga ang bagong soap na to ng GMA in the sense na magkakaeksenahan sina Carla (Ellery Martinez) at Michelle Madrigal (Brigette Samonte) over the love of one man, Jonas Alejandro as delineated by the Starstruck 2 Ultimate male Survivor Mike Tan.Kung papanong sisirain ng inggit ang isang ideal relationship ay siyang gist ng soap na ‘to na mapanonood right after “Sinner or Saint” starting September 19 on GMA-7′s Dramarama sa Hapon.

Marian capable of unleashing temper tantrums of Kris

2011-09-18T07:13:00.000-07:00

SA mga interview kay Kris Aquino, paulit-ulit at may diin pang sinasabi niyang magkaibigan sila ni Marian Rivera. Wala raw silang magiging problema sa pagsasama nga-yon nila sa isang pelikula nina Dingdong Dantes.Hindi kasi lingid kay Kris ang balitang sinumang nagi-ging kasama o kaparehang babae ni Dingdong sa pelikula o TV soap, inaaway, as in, ti-natarayan ni Marian like what happened kina Bela Padilla at Heart Evangelista.Ang nakakatawa lang, bakit kailangang ulit-ulitin ito ni Kris? Na naroong sabihin pa niyang: “By next year, gusto ko namang makasama sa movie si Marian Ri-vera."Sa totoo lang, sa pagka-kakilala namin kay Marian, na ubod nang selosa, kahit pa si Kris, na paulit-ulit sina-sabing walang magiging problema sa kanila ng Kapuso actress, eh, mas malamang na magkaroon pa rin ng conflict sa Kris-Dingdong tandem. At sa obserbasyon na-min kay Marian, hindi ito basta-basta magtitiwala sa kahit na sinong aktres na makakasama ng mahal ni-yang si Dongdong.

Rufa Mae at Boy 2 Quizon, matagal nang may lihim na relasyon!

2011-09-01T19:39:00.000-07:00

May mga nagpapatunay na totoong may relasyon sina Rufa Mae Quinto at Boy 2 Quizon. Matagal na nga raw may lihim na relasyon ang dalawa, pero naghahanap nga raw ang dalawa ng tamang pagkakataon na gawing opisyal ang announcement ng kanilang relasyon.

Rufa Mae Quinto

Lumipad kamakailan sina Rufa Mae at Boy 2 patungong ibang bansa. Ayon sa source namin na nakakita sa dalawa, sobra ang pag-alalay ng apo ni Dolphy kay Rufa Mae. Kahit na raw noong namatay ang lola ni Rufa Mae, si Boy 2 raw ang parating nasa tabi nito.

At noong huling gabi na ng lola ni Rufa Mae, kasama raw si Boy 2 sa private moment ng pamilya ni Rufa Mae. Patunay lang na parang miyembro na ng pamil*ya si Boy 2.

Naikuwento nga ni Rufa Mae na may pino-produce siyang TV show para kay Boy 2 titled Prankista. Isa itong prank-gag show na tulad ng show ni Ashton Kutcher na Punked sa US. Nabanggit nga ni Rufa Mae na tinatapos na nila ang first season taping nito bago nila ito ibenta for airing para sa GMA-7 or sa GMA News TV.

Boy 2 Quizon

Matagal na ngang magkakilala sina Rufa Mae at Boy 2 dahil nga sa gag show nilang Bubble Gang. Close nga silang lahat sa Bubble Gang pero mukhang nagka-in love-an na ng bonggang-bongga sila Rufa Mae at Boy 2.

Para makumpirma nga ang tungkol sa dalawa, baka this Sunday sa Showbiz Central ay magsalita na si Rufa Mae kung totoo ngang nagmamahalan sila ni Boy 2 Quizon.

Mark Herras nagmukhang si George Clooney

2011-09-01T19:28:00.000-07:00

Pinaghahandaan ni Mark Herras ang pagrampa niya sa Cosmo Bash na malapit nang ganapin sa World Trade Center.

Pumayat nang husto si Mark dahil sa mga rehearsal at taping niya para sa Time of My Life pero in fairness, guwapung-guwapo siya sa pictorial ng Flawless.

I should know dahil nakita ko ang mga litrato ni Mark na gagamitin sa mga anniversary billboard ng Flawless sa December. May anggulo si Mark na kamukhang-kamukha siya ni George Clooney sa kanyang pictorial na mala-James Dean ang concept.

Ten years na ang Flawless sa December 8 at ang anniversary celebration ang pinagkakaabalahan ng Flawless big boss na si Rubby Sy.

Nag-meeting kami kahapon ni Rubby at pinag-usapan namin ang mga bonggang plano niya para sa anniversary ng Flawless.

Ikinuwento ni Rubby ang kanyang balak na paglalagay ng mga giant billboard ng lahat ng mga endorser ng Flawless, sa pangunguna nina Lorna Tolentino, AiAi Delas Alas at Richard Gutierrez.

Mukhang Hollywood star si Richard sa bagong pictorial niya para sa Flawless. Pumayat si Richard at baka mabawasan pa ang kanyang timbang kapag nagsimula na ang taping ng Survivor Philippines sa isang Asian country.

Pagpapa-cute ni Derrick Monasterio hindi pinapansin ni Janine Gutierrez

2011-09-01T19:23:00.000-07:00

Aliw ang kaibigan namin sa pagpapa-cute ni Derrick Monasterio kay Janine Gutierrez ‘pag nagkikita ang dalawa sa Party Pilipinas. Naroong yayaing sabay silang kumain ni Janine, pero dedma ang dalaga. Ilang beses na ring hinihingi ni Derrick ang number ng dalaga, pero hindi siya successful dahil hindi ibinibigay sa kanya.

Kahit kinakantyawan ng mga kaibigan, ayaw magpataranta ni Derrick, si Janine ang latest crush niya at mukhang naka-get over na siya kay Bea Binene. Ibig sabihin lang, mahilig talaga sa older girls ang binatilyo dahil balak din niyang ligawan si Rhian Ramos when he turns 18.

Samantala, sa horror movie ng GMA Films na The Road next mapapanood si Derrick at sa October 12 na raw ang showing.

Lovi Poe, Dennis Trillo & Carla Abellana Q & A with Ricky Lo

2011-09-01T19:13:00.000-07:00

Some of the promo photos of Regal Films’ new bold drama My Neighbor’s Wife, directed by Jun Lana (who describes it as “Hot, very hot!”) remind you of the late ‘60s Hollywood mate-swapping movie Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, don’t they? The four stars, led by the late Natalie Wood, were shown oh-so-innocently-looking under one blanket in a large bed, as if ready to tell one another bedtime stories when actually they were up to something more exciting than that.

In My Neighbor’s Wife, Jake Cuenca and Carla Abellana play husband and wife, and so do Dennis Trillo and Lovi Poe. The characters of Jake and Lovi get into an affair and, giving them a dose of their own medicine, Carla and Dennis get into an affair, too. Tit for tat.

Opening on Sept. 14 nationwide, My Neighbor’s Wife may touch some sensitive nerves among the prudes but then, it tackles a very real issue. Take a peep into your neighbor’s bedroom and you might be shocked by what you will see.

In keeping with the movie’s theme, Funfare asked Lovi and Carla and Dennis to do a little “sexy talk” (Jake wasn’t in the mood for it).

What is sexy to you?

Lovi: Sexy to me is being natural, effortless.

Carla: Sexy is an expression of confidence in one’s own body and even sensuality. It is also subjective. One can consider himself not sexy but others can think otherwise.

Dennis: Intelligence plus confidence is sexy.

When do you feel sexy?

Lovi: I feel sexy when the camera is in front of me. When it’s not on me, I don’t feel complete.

Carla: Definitely in the morning when I wake up, well-rested.

Dennis: When I get off the shower.

What part of your body do you consider sexy?

Lovi: Right now, I consider my lips as sexiest. Also, my eyes…I think.

Carla: That’s a tie between my eyes and my waist.

Dennis: I believe I have sexy eyes.

What part of a man’s/woman’s body do you consider sexiest?

Lovi: The eyes. The eyes say it all. The hands, too.

Carla: The violin. It’s also my favorite.

Dennis: Any modern brass instrument that requires blowing.

Sexiest song?

Lovi: Come With Me by Norah Jones.

Carla: Oooh, that’s hard. It’s a triple tie among Kissing by Bliss, Destiny by Zero 7 and Colorblind by Counting Crows (only because of Cruel Intentions, hehehe!).

Dennis: Massive Attack’s Angel.

Sexiest TV show?

Lovi: Friends and The Tudors.

Carla: Gotta love Nip/Tuck.

Dennis: FTV’s Midnight Hot.

Sexiest food?

Lovi: Strawberries or grapes.

Carla: Some say oysters are an aphrodisiac therefore sexy. But I’m not a fan of oysters. I think strawberries dipped in chocolate are sexy.

Dennis: Fish tacos.

Sexiest car?

Lovi: BMW.

Carla: 8 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.

Dennis: Audi R8.

Sexiest perfume?

Lovi: Creed.

Sexiest time of day?

Lovi: Morning…the moment I wake up.

Carla: Dinner time when you’re all dolled up with matching red lips.

Dennis: 4:20 a.m.

Sexiest part of the house?

Lovi: The bedroom.

Carla: The bath tub, if I had one.

Dennis: The kitchen.

Sexiest animal?

Lovi: A panther in the night.

Carla: Sorry, I’m a dog lover. Even if it doesn’t make sense. Hehehehe!

Dennis: Me!

Sexiest billboard?

Lovi: My billboards for Bench Body and for Belo Medical Group.

Carla: I just love Ed Westwick (on Penshoppe). He makes me melt every time I see his billboards along EDSA.

Dennis: Bianca King on Dermstrata billboard.

Sexiest scene you have seen in a movie?

Lovi: My love scenes in My Neighbor’s Wife, definitely! They are my first love scenes ever!

Carla: Diane Lane’s first love scene with her lover (Oliver Martinez) in Unfaithful.

Dennis: The ones in Love & Other Drugs.

Sexiest scene you have ever done in a movie?

Lovi: My love scene with Dennis in the shower in My Neighbor’s Wife.

Carla: My love scene with Dennis in My Neighbor’s Wife.

Dennis: My love scene with a Japanese soldier in Aishite Imasu (where I play a cross-dresser)

Carla: Katy Perry, Beyonce and Marian Rivera.

Dennis: Carla A., Lovi P. and Bianca K.

DAHU: Sexy Young Singer-Actress, Faithful Kuno Sa BF na nasa Abroad

2011-09-01T18:57:00.000-07:00

Pang camera lang ang pakikipag-tikiman sa mga type na aktor, totohanan na pala!

Pinag-ta-taasan ng kilay ng ilang mujeres (read: gays) ang drama ng isang pa-seksing young actress singer na super loyal, faithful at devoted kuno sa kanyang boyfriend na nasa ibang bansa ngayon.

Work, work, work lang daw siya para maging busy at hindi ma-lungkot sa kanyang BF. At kapag may ini-li-link sa kanyang aktor na kasama niya sa pelikula, trabaho lang daw ang lahat kung nakikita man siya na super sweet sa kanyang ka-pareha.

Pero iba ang na-a-amoy ng ilang gay showbiz observers. Idina-daan lang daw 'yun ng singer-actress
sa kunwa-kunwawrian at eksena lang kuno 'yun sa pelikula na dapat niyang gawin upang maging realistic
ang kanyang character, and yet, paraan lang niya 'yun para ma-tikman ang kanyang na-ti-tipuhang aktor.

Artistic excuse nga ito dahil hindi pag-se-selosan ng kanyang BF kahit na torrid love scenes pa
ang kanyang gawin sa pelikula. Lusot na lusot siya roon.

Hindi lang sa isang aktor ito ginawa ng young singer-actress. Noon pa, sa na-una niyang pelikula
ay nakaka-simple na siya ng diskarte sa pag-pa-paramdam sa kursunadang aktor. Pero never naman
na may inamin siya sa mga na-li-link sa kanyang aktor.

Bata pa ay ma-husay nang lumusot ang young actress-singer. Let's see kung u-ubra ang kanyang
diskarte pag-balik ng kanyang BF.

(Hindi 'to love, eh, 'di ba po?)

DAHU: Teleserye Ng Aktres, Hindi Na Umabante Ang Rating

2011-09-01T18:48:00.000-07:00

Ayos lang, hindi man mag-rate ang gina-gawang teleserye ng isang aktres. Hindi naman pala ina-asahang makaka-kuha ng double figures sa ratings ang nasabing programa.

Ang katuwiran nila, basta ma-tapos na lang at bahala na kung may manood o wala. Basta ang sabi ng ilang taga-network na alaga ang aktres, sugal lang naman talaga ang ginawa nila.

Beyoncé is Having a Baby with Jay-Z of course!

Leave it to Beyoncé to steal the spotlight at Sunday's Video Music Awards.

But it wasn't one of the pop diva's signature show-stopping performances that had people talking. Instead, it was Beyoncé's burgeoning baby bump, swathed in an orange gown.

Beyoncé, 29, posed for photos with her hands cradling her belly, teasing, "I have a surprise!"

Beyoncé baby bump

"I'm happy to say it's true," her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

"They told friends in the last month," a source tells PEOPLE. "She's never been happier. Seriously it's all she's been waiting for. And Jay is like an excited kid. They're adorable."

This will be the first child for Beyoncé and her husband of three years, 41-year-old Jay-Z, who performed "Otis" at the VMAs with Kanye West.

Just in June, Knowles, who turns 30 on Sept. 4, told Piers Morgan, "I always said I would have a baby at 30."

Looks like the talented singer is true to her word!

Marian Rivera is on her best behavior

2011-08-27T04:59:00.000-07:00

Marian Rivera wants to give glamorous roles a rest. “Gusto kong gumanap na basurera, para makita ng mga tao na puwede rin ako sa ganoong klaseng character,” she shares after revealing to us that she’ll be topbilling a sitcom when “Amaya” wraps up.

The lovely Kapuso star’s yearning for a thespic stretch is just one of the things she’s working on – but, even more immediate on Marian’s to-do list is, in her own words, “to adjust my attitude.” In fact, not a few birdies have told us that the feisty actress has indeed been working extra hard to be “nicer” these days.

We didn’t know what to expect when we flew to Davao last weekend to observe Marian and her GMA 7 co-stars like Manny Pacquiao, Sid Lucero, Rhian Ramos, Glaiza de Castro, Mikael Daez, and the teeners and tweeners of “Tween Academy” as they added stellar zing to the Kadayawan festival’s merrymaking.

Two-pronged question

When we finally met Marian, she was glowing and buzzing with positive vibe as she warmly greeted us and signified her intention to go karaoke-singing in the evening. She warily shrugged her shoulders when somebody naughtily egged her on with a two-pronged question: “How’s your, uh, Heart?”

“I’m very transparent and vocal about my thoughts and feelings – and, sometimes, that’s what gets me in trouble,” she later admits. “Sa dami ng mga intrigang pinagdaanan ko, I realized na hindi pala lahat ng bagay, pinapatulan. Dapat matutunan din natin kung hanggang saan ang pagiging ‘transparent,’ to avoid hurting people. You learn from experience, and you go with the flow.” Lesson well learned, indeed.

Still, her winking tactlessness comes through from time to time, like when we asked her if she drew her newfound maturity and outlook from boyfriend, Dingdong Dantes. She explains, “I don’t think we’d last this long kung wala kaming naibibigay na positive sa isa’t isa. True, good influence talaga si Dong sa akin – pero, ako din naman sa kanya. Kasi, ang personality n’ya dati, dry, at tahimik lang s’ya palagi. Now, he’s bubbly (laughs)!”

Iconic characters

Which among the iconic characters she’s played so far does she relate to the most – Darna, Dyesebel, Amaya or Marimar? She readily replies, “Nakaka-relate ako kay Marimar kasi inosente s’ya at walang alam sa mga bagay-bagay, like when I first joined show biz. The show introduced me to the world – at dun ko rin nakilala si Dong, although I wasn’t in love with him then. That came later, when we were doing ‘Babaeng Hinugot Sa Aking Tadyang’ (swoons)!”

What’s one thing that the public doesn’t know about her? She answers, “They know everything! But, they should also know that I’m trying my best. I’m still the same Marian, pero hindi na ako mapagpatol.”

Carla Abellana at Mario Bautista, nagsagutan sa presscon ng My Neighbor's Wife!

2011-08-24T00:39:00.000-07:00

“She has more manners than you,” ang isa sa mga salita na nagmarka sa isip namin nang dumalo kami sa controversial presscon ng My Neighbor’s Wife ng Regal Entertainment Inc. noong Lunes nang gabi sa Imperial Palace Suites.

Ang respected veteran entertainment writer na si Mario Bautista ang nagbitaw ng “classic line” para kay Carla Abellana na ikinumpara niya kay Lovi Poe, isa sa apat na bida ng My Neighbor’s Wife.

Nag-umpisa ang misunderstanding nina Carla at Kuya Mario sa column item na isinulat nito at lumabas noong Linggo. Hindi nagustuhan ni Carla ang isinulat ni Kuya Mario kaya pinadalhan niya ng email ang huli.

Carla Abellana and Jake Cuenca

Nabasa namin ang email ni Carla at kami man ay na-offend sa kanyang mga lecture sa entertainment writer na paulit-ulit na nilinaw na galing sa publicity guide ng My Neighbor’s Wife ang balita na inilabas niya.

Halos tatay na ni Carla si Kuya Mario. Nakita namin ang kakulangan ng respeto ni Carla sa nakatatanda sa kanya dahil Mario lamang ang tawag niya sa entertainment columnist na naging supportive sa kanyang showbiz career.

Totoo ang sinabi ni Kuya Mario na hindi marunong magpasalamat ang marami sa mga artista sa mga positive article na isinusulat ng entertainment press pero may reaksyon o nagagalit agad sila kapag hindi pabor sa kanila ang balita.

Nagpoprotesta si Carla dahil hindi raw siya nainterbyu ni Kuya Mario pero naka-quote siya sa article na lumabas. Para sa kapakanan ng Abante readers, ito ang email na ipinadala ni Carla kay Kuya Mario:
“Hi Mario! This is Carla Abellana. I just read your Journal August 21 article entitled ‘Geoff Won’t Watch Carla’s Daring Movie” and was shocked.

“First off, I don’t remember being interviewed by you recently.

Carla Abellana

“Second, not a single word you supposedly “quoted” from me is true. Those words never came out of my mouth. Third, I was never challenged by Ms. Lovi Poe in our movie because it was never a goal for me to equal her in this movie. My character’s goal is different from hers and she’s a completely different actress with a completely different role from mine. It was never an intention for me to equal her in this movie because whatever I do, I never will! For you to use such words as “... biggest challenge here for me is Lovi Poe...” and “... I feel obligated na pantayan ‘yung ginagawa niya...” are words that never even crossed my mind, all the more come out of my mouth.

“Fourth, the supposed quotation in the last line of your first paragraph says, “Ganu’n din si Jake Cuenca, mahusay in doin*g bed scenes.” How can I possibly say that when Jake and I haven’t even done a love scene?

“Lastly, I never said that Mr. Geoff Eigenmann decided not to watch the movie. I never said that because presently he is not even sure if he’s going to be in the country when the movie comes out.

“It makes me wonder where you got all your information. Obviously this article is based on second-hand information, therefore unreliable. This is an opportunity for you to receive straight feedback from me, as I hope that it is important since I am the subject of this article. Please double check on your information and “facts” first before publishing anything. A basic rule that I’m sure a respected writer such as you already know and consider common sense.

“Thank you very much and I can only hope that you publish an erratum article following this. If not, I can always clarify this to other press members during our succeeding press cons for My Neighbor’s Wife.”

***

Hindi na hinintay ni Kuya Mario na linawin ni Carla sa ibang miyembro ng entertainment press ang isyu.

Sa grand presscon ng My Neighbor’s Wife, harap-harapan na sinabi ni Kuya Mario kay Carla ang kanyang reaksyon at opinyon sa email na natanggap mula sa aktres.

Halatang tensyonada si Carla dahil inconsistent ang kanyang mga sagot at pahayag pero pinilit niya na magpakatatag. Nang sabihin ni Kuya Mario na hindi siya marunong magpasalamat, biglang nagpasalamat si Carla, kasabay ang paghingi ng paumanhin.

Pero huli na ang lahat dahil naikumpara na siya ni Kuya Mario kay Lovi Poe na marunong magpasalamat sa entertainment press. Malakas ang impact ng linya ni Kuya Mario na “Obviously, she (Lovi) has more manners than you.”

MONA Louise Rey's Munting Heredera EXTENDED!

2011-08-23T21:30:00.000-07:00

MONA Louise Rey, who plays the title role in “Munting Heredera.” celebrated her 7th birthday last Friday with the show’s cast members. Mark Anthony Fernandez and Camille Prats who play her parents in the show both wish her the best for her career “and don’t change, huwag sanang lalaki ang ulo mo.” Their director, Maryo de los Reyes, prayed that may she get her wish to win a best child actress award.

Other co-stars like Gloria Romero, Roderick Paulate and tot co-stars Barbara Miguel and Kyle Ocampo also expressed their love and well wishes for her. Mona really has reason to celebrate as “Munting Heredera” continues to rate very high that it’s been extended for yet another month.

Mona Louise Rey

The plot thickens now that Camille has discovered Kyle as Michelle is not really her daughter and Neil Sese as the evil Simeon just deceived her. Simeon has also kidnapped Mark Anthony as Jacob and tortures him. He also shoots Gabby Eigenmann as Desmond. Meantime, Katrina Halili as Lynette runs over Kris Martin as TJ to silence him for knowing their secret. TJ’s dad, Leandro Baldemor as Philip, strangles her to death because of this.

What Dennis Trillo Learned from His Past Relationship with Jennylyn Mercado

2011-08-23T21:24:00.000-07:00

DENNIS Trillo has been loveless since he broke up with Jennylyn Mercado who’s now linked to Luis Manzano.

“I want to be more careful with my next relationship, para walang gulo,” he says. “As of now, mas enjoy akong walang lovelife as I’m so busy with ‘Sinner or Saint’ on TV and shooting the film ‘My Neighbor’s Wife’. I won’t have time para makipag-date. My life is so peaceful being single. Tutok muna ako sa work. I’m so proud to be part of ‘My Neighbor’s Wife’ kasi acting piece ito for all of us in the cast.”

Jen admitted slapping him several times. It’s said this is recreated by Lovi Poe and Carla Abellana in “My Neighbor’s Wife.” “Hindi naman sinadyang i-recreate 'yun for the movie. Nag-away kami so ilang beses nila akong sinampal. And I told them totohanin ang pagsampal para maramdaman ko talaga. I don’t want to fake it or our emotions. Sanay na naman akong nasasampal, di ba?” he laughs.

Dennis Trillo

Is he ready to see Jen again in person after their stormy relationship? “Okay lang, naka-move on na naman ako. What happened before, nakalimutan ko na. After my past failed relationships (also with Carlene Aguilar and Cristine Reyes), marunong na akong maka-recover agad. Next time, kikilalanin ko munang mabuti at di ako magmamadali para di na uli mauwi sa hilawayan.”

Barbie Forteza: I want to try everything

2011-08-23T21:14:00.000-07:00

BARBIE Forteza says she’s not slighted that Elmo Magalona, Jake Vargas and Joshua Dionisio were billed ahead of her in the poster of “Tween Academy: Class of 2012” even if most writers feel she should get top billing since she already had title rolers like “Pilyang Kerubin” and “Nita Negrita.”

“Hindi naman po issue sa’kin yan,” she says. “Okay lang sa’kin kahit sino nauna sa billing, basta nandiyan pa rin ang pangalan ko. Lahat sila sa cast, friends ko, ang importante nagkakasundo kami. As of now, kaysa sa billing, mas natetensiyon ako sa pagbubukas ng movie namin sa mga sinehan. Buti na lang, very encouraging ang feedback after the premiere night last Tuesday. Lahat ng nanood, nagandahan, kakagatin daw ng tao kasi masaya siya and it brings back happy memories of one’s teen years.”

Barbie Forteza

GMA Films says after “Tween Academy”, they will do a musical next starring the same cast. Does she sing? “Di ba humataw po ako sa pagkanta namin ng ’Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’ noong presscon? Yun nga lang, nagtawanan sila as I’m not really a singer. But I plan to have voice lessons. I want to try everything, pati singing. Makakaya ko 'yan.”

Carla Abellana should be taught a lesson

2011-08-23T21:01:00.000-07:00

DAPAT turuan si Carla Abellana ng tamang pakikisama sa press people.

She caught the ire of one of the most respected movie writers in the industry, colleague Mario Bautista.

Carla doesn’t know the role writers like Mario, who has praised her to high heavens dahil sa kanyang husay bilang isang baguhan in his past columns, play in her career. Na-misquote lang siya ng kapiraso at hindi naman damaging ay nagdi-demand na ng erratum. OMG, dapat turuan ‘yan ng kanyang manager na si Arnold Vegafria! At parang tinakot pa niya si Mario (na kilala naman ng lahat na walang kinatatakutan, palaban at alam kung saan siya nakalugar).

Carla Abellana and Jake Cuenca

Marami pang dapat matutunan si Carla, na mukhang pa-corporate pa ang arrive sa kanyang email kay Mario. Maghunos-dili ka, iha! Alamin mo ang black sa white bago ka gumawa ng hakbang. Mabuti na lang at gusto ka ni Mother Lily, pero alam naman natin si Mother, she likes you today, we don’t know tomorrow. Hmm..

Lovi Poe Effortlessly Seductive

2011-08-23T20:55:00.000-07:00

LOVI Poe could be considered the star of the hour. Lovi doesn’t have to exert too much effort to look seductive as it comes so naturally.

Her figure is like that a mannequin inside a glass display window.

In her new movie, My Neighbor’s Wife with Carla Abellana, Jake Cuenca and Dennis Trillo, she didn’t strip off to her naked glory but she could make every man’s fantasy a reality with her acting. Ang ikinaiba ni Lovi, she’s dusky yet she oozes with sex appeal to Filipino men who are partial with porcelain-skinned women.

Lovi Poe

Samantala, ang My Neighbor’s Wife ay may mall tour sa August 27, Sabado, sa Market! Market!, August 28, Sunday sa SM San Lazaro at September 10 naman sa SM Bicutan.

Sam Pinto Is She the Next Big Star?

2011-08-23T20:42:00.000-07:00

HINDI na talaga maawat ang kasikatan ni Sam Pinto who belongs to Claire de la Fuente’s stable of beautiful and talented stars. Patunay lamang na si Sam ay made na bilang actress kahit di pa man tumatagal sa industriya. Nasa hilera na siya ng may pinakamataas na talent fee. Imagine, sa commercials lang, she commands a P3 million asking price at kinakagat naman dahil naniniwala sila sa gayuma ng ganda ni Sam .

Kabilang sa mga commercial niya ang San Mig, Fitrum, Creamsilk at malapit na ring Makita ang billboard niya sa EDSA for Smart with the Philippine Azkals.

Samantala, nagkaroon ng fans day si Sam na ang mga dumalo ay mga galing sa sosyal na pamilya mula pa sa iba’t ibang lugar. Dahil sa tinamong papuri ni Sam sa ‘Tween Academy: Class of 2012,’ inimbitahan ng manager niyang si Claire de la Fuente ang mga fans sa isang dinner bonding sa restaurant niya Seafood Market sa Macapagal Avenue.

Sam Pinto

Inabot ng 12 midnight ang naturang fans day kaya tumuloy na si Sam sa taping ng Bubble Gang kung saan she’s a regular member now. Masaya si Sam sa experience niya on the show kasama sina Ogie Alcasid, Michael V, Maureen Larrazabal, Rufa Mae Quinto and the rest of the gang. Nagpapasalamat siya sa kanilang tulong on how to act right sa comedy.

Tinaggap din ni Sam ang hamon ng Viva Films na gampanan ang role na ginawa noon ni Hilda Koronel sa Angela Markado ni Carlo J.

Caparas. Para kay Sam isang malaking karangalan ito kaya ayon sa kanya, pagbubutihan niya ang pagganap. Nakaka-challenge daw kaya’t asahan na siya ang next big star sa taong papasok.

Joshua Dionisio at Barbie Forteza Patok ang Loveteam!

2011-08-23T06:47:00.000-07:00

Very successful ang premiere night ng Tween Academy: Class of 2012 na ginanap sa Cinema 9 at 10 ng SM Megamall nung nakaraang Sabado.

Hindi na namin tinapos ang buong pelikula dahil sa wala na kaming naririnig kundi puro tilian na lang ng mga fans. Kaya panonoorin na lang namin ito sa regular showing bukas.

Base sa attendance ng mga tagahanga na dumagsa sa naturang premiere night, lamang na lamang pa rin ang love team nina Joshua Dionisio at Barbie Forteza. Sila pa rin ang pinakamalakas at talagang matindi ang suporta ng mga followers ng dalawa.

Tween Hearts Girls

All out din ang suporta sa love team nina Bea Binene at Jake Vargas at sa ilan pang love teams.

Kumpleto naman ang buong pamilya ni Elmo Magalona pati ang kapareha nitong si Julie Anne San Jose na may special participation sa naturang pelikula.

Ipinakita na rin doon ang teaser ng pelikulang pagbibidahan nilang dalawa, kaya mukhang tuloy na tuloy na ito.

Tween Hearts Boys

Dumalo rin pala sa naturang premiere night sina Aljur Abrenica at Kylie Padilla pero hindi sila nagpa-interview.

Steven Silva nag-e-emote sa GMA 7

2011-08-22T20:09:00.000-07:00

May tampo si Steven Silva sa pamunuan ng Siyete dahil mas magaganda ang mga proyekto na naibibigay sa kanyang mga runner-ups sa StarStruck na sina Enzo Pineda at Rocco Nacino.

Baka naman dahil mas matatas silang mag-Tagalog kesa sa kanya. Siyempre mas malaking kalamangan nila ito sa kanya. Ang dapat niyang gawin kesa magtampo ay mas ihanda pa ang kanyang sarili by learning Tagalog more, and take up acting workshop.

Wala namang mawawala sa kanya kung patuloy at patuloy siyang mag-aaral umarte, maski na ’yung mga magagaling na arista ay nag-a-undergo pa rin ng acting workshop, siya pa kaya na baguhan ang hindi?

Steven Silva

Kapag naman nakita ng management na magaling na siya sa Tagalog ay bigyan siya ng maraming assignment. After all, produkto nila siya.

Joshua Dionisio mahaba ang exposure sa Tween Academy

2011-08-21T22:29:00.000-07:00

Matutuwa ang mga fans ni Joshua Dionisio kapag nalaman nila na maganda at mahaba ang exposure ng kanilang idol sa Tween Academy: Class of 2012. May intriga kasi na “one of those” lamang si Joshua sa pelikula ng GMA Films dahil sina Elmo Magalona, Bea Binene, at Barbie Forteza ang ibinebenta bilang mga lead stars.

Nag-deny ang mga sumugod sa premiere night ng pelikula noong Sabado sa SM Megamall Cinema 9 at Cinema 10. Hindi true ang intriga dahil inumpisahan at tinapos nila ang pelikula. Mahaba ang exposure ni Joshua as in hindi ito nagmukhang extra.

Joshua Dionisio

Inintriga rin ang billing ng mga pangalan ng bagets cast ng Tween Academy dahil nauna ang billing
ng name nina Elmo, Barbie, at Bea. Sa totoo lang, naging fair ang GMA Films dahil in order of appearance ang billing ng mga pangalan ng tween stars. Hindi naman kasalanan nina Elmo, Barbie, at Bea na ang mga eksena nila ang unang ipinakita.

Dingdong at Piolo, magsasama sa pelikula

2011-08-21T22:17:00.000-07:00

MAY nasagap kaming tsika sa birthday party ni Mother Lily na balak magsama sa isang pelikula nina Dingdong Dantes at Piolo Pascual.

Bale co-producers daw sina Dingdong at Piolo ng nasabing project kasama ang Reality Entertainment ni Dondon Monteverde. Si Erik Matti ang magdidirek nito.

Mukhang nagpapakaaktibo na si Dingdong sa pagiging producer dahil abala siya sa Aswang Chronicles na bida siya at producer sa ilalim ng kanyang sariling film outfit na Agostodos Pictures. Co-prod niya ito with Reality Entertainment.

Si Erik Matti ang direktor ng nasabing horror flick kung saan kasama ni Dong sina Lovi Poe, Janice de Belen at Joey Marquez.

Iba pa ito sa remake ng Aswang movie ng Regal na bida rin si Lovi kasama sina Paulo Avelino, Jillian
Ward, Albie Casiño at Marc Abaya na dinidirek ni Jerrold Tarog.

Pina-finalize pa kung anong project ang gagawin nina Dingdong at Piolo. Pagmimitingan pa nila ito with Dondon and Direk Erik, pero mukhang nag-commit na ang dalawang hunky actor. Maghahanap pa ng magiging leading ladies nila.

Spring Films ang pa*ngalan ng sariling film outfit ni Piolo na itinayo niya with some friends kabilang si Direk Joyce Bernal. Ang blockbus*ter movie ni Eugene Domingo na Kimmy Dora ang unang pinrodyus ng Spring Films ni Piolo. May guest role dito si Dingdong.

Ang Agostodos Pictures ni Dong (na galing sa birthday niyang Agosto 2), bukod sa Aswang Chronicles ay co-produ*cer ng filmfest entry nila ni Kris Aquino na Segunda Mano.

Kung sakali ay first time magsasama ng Kapuso hunk at Kapamilya hunk sa isang pelikula. Sa TV commercials ay ilang beses nang nagsama sina Dingdong at Piolo tulad ng Pond’s, Clear for Men at Nestle Green Tea.

Gwen Zamora, deadma sa Indonesian guys na nagkakagusto sa kanya!

2011-08-20T20:13:00.000-07:00

GOING INTERNATIONAL NA ang career ng isa sa may pinakamagandang mukha sa telebisyon at pelikula at GMAAC Prime Artist na si Gwen Zamora dahil ito ang napili para mapasama sa isang Indonesian indie film, ang The Witness.

Kuwento nga ni Gwen, marami silang pinagpilian pero masuwerte raw siya ang napili ng mga Indonesian producer.

“I’m the witness, from the title, The Witness. I play a Filipina expat who works in a hotel, I’m half-American, half-Filipina.”

Tsika pa nito na mapapanood daw ito next year, mga January o March. “Ang pagkakaalam ko it will be going to be shown here in the Philippines by January or March po.”

Gwen Zamora

Dagdag pa nito na kakaibang Gwen ang mapapanood ng kanyang mga tagahanga sa The Witness. “Grabe kakaiba ang role ko dito, intense talaga, I didn’t expect my role to be that powerful. Kaya
naman I’m very very happy and thankful to be part of (The) Witness.

“There’s a lot of action, a lot of shooting, a lot of blood. Madugo talaga ‘yung Gwen Zamora na makikita ninyo rito. All the stunts, I did myself, so half of my shooting days, I had bruisies everywhere. My kneecap was sort of out for a while, so I was [in and out] of the hospital and I was always on painkillers, so it was really intense talaga.

“Ibang-ibang movie talaga ito compared sa ibang roles na nagawa ko. This is maraming iyakan. Oh, my God! A lot of crying, which you’ve never seen from me yet.”

At kahit nga raw two months na ang stay sa Indonesia si Gwen kasama ang Talent Development Head ng GMAAC na si Ms. Lou Gopez, hindi naman nabihag ang puso ng magandang dilag ng mga Indonesian local guys. Purely trabaho raw ang ipinunta roon ni Gwen at hindi ang magkaroon ng lovelife, dahil career daw ang focus nito ngayon sa kanyang buhay.

My Neighbor's Wife will set the screen on fire!

2011-08-20T05:56:00.000-07:00

THERE hasn't been a local sex drama that’s been shown for quite a while since bold flicks went out of fashion, so Regal’s steamy new film on the controversial topic of wife-swapping, “My Neighbor’s Wife,” will serve as a test case if local viewers have really missed this kind of provocative film fare. “The title is from one of the Ten Commandments: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife,” says Mother Lily, who celebrated her birthday yesterday with a big bash at Century Imperial Palace. “Mag-asawa rito sina Dennis Trillo and Lovi Poe, Carla Abellana and Jake Cuenca, then they’ll be tempted and exchange partners. Magaling si writer-director Jun Lana. He came up with a very sexy film but well crafted and there’s an important message about the sanctity of marital relationships.”

How hot is “My Neighbor’s Wife”? “Very hot, sizzling hot, boiling hot, extra hot,” says Jun Lana, laughing. “I salute my entire cast. I’m proud of the film kasi magaling silang lahat. They consented to do the delicate love scenes, tapos napakahusay pa ng acting nila even in the demanding
dramatic scenes. Lovi has won best actress awards so given ng magaling siya, no question about that. But she displays here a combination of sensuality and great acting na hahanga ka talaga sa kanya. Carla is the revelation here.

At first, she’s hesitant to go sexy, but when I asked for her cooperation, she gave it wholeheartedly. Marami siyang gugulatin dito, especially sa breakdown scene niya na ang husay niya talaga. Si Dennis, multi-awardee na rin at kilala na sa drama, pero marami pa siyang ipinakitang kakaibang galing dito sa movie. As for Jake, he’s the only Kapamilya here and first time ko to work with him. I admire his diligence in interpreting his role. Preparado talaga siya’t pinag-aaralan ang bawat scene niya. Even sa sexy scenes, bigay na bigay siya. You know, it’s so fulfilling for a director to be working with accomplished actors like them. Mapusok, mapangahas, nag-aapoy ang movie namin and it’ll set the screen on fire on September 14.”

Julie Ann Super Bass Cover Youtube Sensation na!

2011-08-20T02:36:00.000-07:00

Hindi makapaniwala si Julie Ann na umabot ng mahigit isang milyon ang viewers sa YouTube ng ni-record niyang Super Bass.

“Nu’ng una po talaga, hindi ko akalain. Kasi, it was taken from my You Stream. Iba-ibang theme po kasi iyun, so, isa po sa kinanta ko ‘yung Super Bass and hindi ko naman akalain na ang taas sa ganu’ng views ‘yung video na ‘yun.

“Sa akin po, siyempre masaya and nakaka-flatter po. Hindi ko naman po iniisip ‘yun na mataas ‘yung views na sinasabi na po nila, YouTube sensation daw po,” parang nahihiya pang pahayag ng young singer ng Party Pilipinas.

Pagkatapos ng Tween Academy, baka sundan na ng isa pang pelikula si Elmo Magalona

This time, ang ka-love team na niyang si Julie Ann San Jose ang makakasama niya.

Naikuwento ito ni Julie Ann pero hindi pa raw sure kung tuloy na ba ito.

Hindi pa raw siya tiyak sa title pero may ideya na raw siya sa kuwento na hindi muna niya nai-share sa amin.

Hanggang ngayon ay malakas pa rin ang loveteam nila kaya kung matutuloy ang pelikulang pagsasamahan nila, dito mapapatuna*yan kung todo ang suportang ibibigay ng kanilang fans.

Dingdong tumangging makapareha si Heart Evangelista para kay Marian Rivera

2011-06-23T22:16:00.000-07:00

Hindi na ako umabot sa presscon kahapon ng Temptation Island dahil sa malakas na ulan.

Hoping pa naman si Dingdong Dantes na makakapunta ako sa presscon bilang suporta sa kanyang girlfriend na si Marian Rivera na inaway ng madir ni Heart Evangelista.

Between Marian and Heart, kampi ako kay Marian dahil kahit hindi ko nakakatsikahan si Heart, naniniwala ako sa mga kuwento ni Annabelle Rama tungkol sa kanya.

Hindi naman gawa-gawa ang mga kuwento ni Bisaya dahil siya ang dating manager ni Heart kaya kilalang-kilala niya ang mag-ina.

Dahil kay Annabelle, nakabalik sa showbiz si Heart at nakatikim ito ng mataas na talent fee. Milyun-
milyon ang talent fee ni Heart dahil sa effort ni Bisaya.

Maugong ang balita na si Heart ang leading lady ni Dingdong sa next project nito sa GMA 7.

Ako na ang magsasabi na hindi na matutuloy ang project dahil mismong si Dingdong ang nagsabi sa akin na tatanggi siya kung si Heart ang kanyang makakapareha.

Pabor ako sa desisyon ni Dingdong dahil kung tatanggapin niya ang project, pagpipistahan lamang sila ng mga intrigero at intrigera.

Napatunayan ko na talagang mahal ni Dingdong si Marian dahil magagawa niya na magsakripisyo, sa ngalan ng kanilang pag-iibigan.

Heart nagbanta sa mga kaaway kahit nasa Brazil!

2011-06-23T22:04:00.000-07:00

Habang abala ang lahat ng artista ng Temptation Island, nagsasaya naman si Heart Evangelista sa Brazil kasama ang boyfriend na si Daniel Matsunaga.

Sa kanyang mga tweets, panay raw ang kain nila. Nag-tweet din siya na sana ay nasa presscon din siya ng pelikula na ginanap kahapon ng tanghali sa kasagsagan ng ulan : “@lovipoe @RegalFilms @solennheussaff @Heartworld @imrufamaequinto I wish I could be there for the presscon of temptation island“

Tweet pa niya : “so much fun here I feel free from all the negativity so peaceful when your here you can laugh at anything instead of crying”

Maraming nanghihinayang na lumayas si Heart pa-Brazil after ng shooting nila ng Temptation Island nina Marian Rivera, Lovi Poe, Solenn Heussaff and Rufa Mae Quinto.

Nagkaalaman na sana kung andun siya kahapon sa presscon kung saan naging emotional si Marian
nang maungkat ang tungkol sa matagal nang pinag-uusapang panghihiya sa kanya ng mother ni Heart sa airport nang sunduin nito ang anak na may escort na mga pulis.

Ang akala pala ni Marian, ayos na sa kanila ang lahat. Pero nakatikim pa siya ng paninigaw ng ina ni Heart na kinaiinisan ngayon ng maraming fans ng actress.

In a way, hurt din si Marian dahil ang akala niya ay kaibigan niya si Heart, pero na-realize niyang hindi pala. In fact nag-swap pa nga sila ng role dahil magba-back out sana si Heart sa pelikula dahil hindi kaya ang kaseksihan ng role pero pinigilan siya ni Marian.

Pero ang ending, nag-away na lumaki nang pumasok sa eksena ang mommy ni Heart.

At obviously ipinarating kay Heart ang mga nangyari sa presscon kaya kahapon may pahabol siyang tweet : “Why is it so unfair? too much. Someone please do something if not i will have no choice. i may not be on the same page with mom 90% of the time but she is my mother so stop bashing her. if any lie is said with your info displayed then you will get what you deserve. sobra na po talaga. totally not fair anymore. this will be the last time. i will tweet about this negative vibe. I am on vacation and having a nice time and all i ever wanted was to finally laugh since. all i did was be silent and cry. tama na po.lets not be unfair. god bless and peace to all.”

Hmmm. Magkakasubukan dito.

Pero sa totoo lang, mas maraming kakampi si Marian sa away nilang ito.

Anyway maganda ang trailer ng pelikula na co-prod ng GMA at Regal Films at mapapanood sa mga sinehan sa July 6.

Si Chris Martinez ang direktor ng movie at kasama rin sina Aljur Abrenica, Mikael Daez, Dennis Trillo at Tom Rodriguez.

Kris Bernal stars in a dancserye but admits, "Hindi ko forte ang dancing."

2011-06-23T21:39:00.000-07:00

Matapos ang huli niyang primetime show na Machete (2011), at ang kanyang afternoon show na Koreana (2010), naghahanda na ngayon si Kris Bernal sa susunod niyang project sa GMA-7, ang The Time of My Life.

Ang The Time of My Life ay isang danceserye kung saan makakatambal niya ang "Bad Boy" ng dance floor na si Mark Herras, at ang StarStruck V Second Prince na si Rocco Nacino.

Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Kris kagabi, June 15, sa product launching ng HTC sa Republiq Club, sa Resorts World Manila, Pasay City.

Ayon kay Kris, ngayong araw, June 16, ang schedule ng kanyang first taping.

ON MARK HERRAS. Ito ang unang beses na magkakatambal sina Kris at Mark, na parehong winners sa reality-based artista search ng GMA-7 na StarStruck. Pero madalas naman silang
nagkakasama sa production numbers sa musical-variety show na Party Pilipinas.

Sabi ni Kris, challenging ang bagong project na ibinigay sa kanya ng GMA-7.

"Dito kasi sa danceserye, ang hirap talaga sumayaw," pag-amin niya.

"Kasi aaminin ko naman, I'm not good as Mark Herras, di ba?"

Pero kahit totoong dancer and kanyang leading man, wala naman daw pangamba si Kris.

"Very cooperative siya [Mark]," sambit niya.

"Talagang, like ngayon, sinisimulan kasing i-build up yung love team namin, e.

"So, talagang kina-career namin yung trabaho namin."

ON LOSING WEIGHT. Kitang-kita na seryoso si Kris sa paghahanda para sa bagong project niya.

Isa sa mga paghahandang ginagawa niya ay ang pagpapapayat. (CLICK HERE for related article.)

Pero kahit iba-iba ang natatanggap na komento ni Kris tungkol sa pagpapayat niya, kumportable naman daw siya sa katawan niya ngayon.

"Ang laki ng pinayat ko, di ba? Kasi talagang requirement dun [sa danceserye].

"Comfortable naman ako. Pero sometimes, I find myself too skinny.

"Kaya ngayon, medyo nagpapalaman na talaga ako," saad ng young actress.

Ang ideya ng pagpapataba ng kaunti ay dahil daw sa concern ng iba sa kanya. Ayaw naman daw isantabi ni Kris ang mga opinyong ito ng mga tao.

"Actually, ngayon nagge-gain na talaga ako ng weight," sabi niya.

Did Heart Evangelista’s mom made Marian Rivera cry at the airport?

2011-06-16T19:31:00.000-07:00

A rumored feud between Temptation Island stars Heart Evangelista and Marian Rivera reportedly came to a head at the airport in Manila on June 13, PEP.ph reports. The two stars and the rest of the cast had just come back from taping scenes in Ilocos Norte when the incident allegedly happened. PEP.ph cites a report by Mario Bautista from People’s Journal saying that as Marian approached Heart to say goodbye, Mrs. Ongpauco, Heart’s mom, suddenly yelled, “Stay away from my daughter!”

Mrs. Ongpauco also said more hurtful words to Marian, which made her cry. Meanwhile, other PEP sources say Mrs. Ongpauco supposedly had bodyguards on the scene acting as “protection” for Heart.

Two days before the alleged incident, Heart had dismissed the rumors about her feud with Marian
in a Tweet to her fans. “Let’s not make a big fuss. Marian and I are okay. Showbiz is showbiz so, Heartworld, 'wag na tayo mag-away-away,” she is quoted as saying on PEP.ph.

According to PEP.ph, the rumors of discord happening between Heart and Marian started when Heart’s boyfriend, Daniel Matsunaga, expressed his interest in working on a project with Marian. Heart also apparently got excited over an upcoming project she was going to have with Marian’s boyfriend, Dingdong Dantes.

As of press time, both camps have not issued any statements about the issue.

FHM June 2011 Cover Stef Prescott undresses in front of 'gay' actor

2011-06-10T19:31:00.000-07:00

STEF Prescott is the cover girl of FHM for June. “They first asked me two years ago after StarStruck IV,” she says. “But I felt I wasn’t ready then, not only emotionally but even with the way I look. When I turned 20 last March 29, I thought of things I can do for my career and I told my mom: Magpa-sexy kaya ako? And she said, sige, go! I was surprised as she’s very conservative and overprotective kasi only child niya ako. But she said basta ba hindi malaswa ang dating and tasteful ang execution, she trusts that I won’t do anything to hurt my name and reputation. So I told GMA Artist Center na I’m ready for FHM. They said, sigurado ka? I said yes and in two weeks, pinictorial na ako. We did it in Boracay and I had the same stylist as Rich Asuncion. Kung siya, bright colors ang suot na swimsuits, ako naman, darker.”

Standing 5’5” and measuring 36-26-36, Stef was born in Seattle, USA. At 12, her American dad
retired and they settled down in San Fernando, La Union. “My dad had two kids in his first marriage, so may half brother and sister ako who are older than me. They’re now in their 30s and we’re all very close as they took care of me when I was a baby. My dad is 72 and my mom is 47. They’re all very supportive of my showbiz career.”

She’s said to be on with Jay Aquitania. “Not true, but we’re the best of friends, along with Jade Lopez. We played the best friends of Kris Bernal in ‘All My Life’ and since then, naging close friends na kami. Bakla ang role ni Jay in that show and he’s so convincing kaya kung minsan, nalilimutan namin ni Jade na lalaki talaga siya at nagbibihis kami sa harap niya. I do have someone na ka-MU, a student in Pampanga who’s not from showbiz, which is better para hindi magulo. Okay lang sa kanya nag-FHM ako. Ayoko ng seloso.”

She’s currently taking up culinary arts at the School of Knowledge and Development and seen as Ava, the assistant of Christopher de Leon who plays the evil Nero in “Captain Barbell”. “I thought I’d just be a guest there as I’m not part of the original cast. But the feedback was good so naging permanent na ang character ko as an expert in robots. The show is getting hotter dahil sa love triangle now between Richard Gutierrez as Teng, Lovi Poe as Althea and TJ Trinidad as Gregor.”

So how’s it working with Bro. Boyet? “I was intimidated at kabado ako as I’m a fan. In acting workshops, it’s his movies that are shown as examples of good acting so I know how good he is. It’s an honor wor-king with him. He calls me Baby.”

Someone quipped she might fall for him. “That’s not likely to happen kasi parang anak lang ang treatment niya sa’kin and his wife, Tita Sandy, madalas siyang sinasamahan sa taping.”

What does she hope to achieve with her FHM pictorial? “I hope GMA would notice that I’m now ready to play more mature roles. I really want to try serious drama.”

Mga bagets ng Tween Hearts may kanya-kanyang tsismis

2011-06-10T19:11:00.000-07:00

Bumisita kami sa taping ng Tween Hearts noong isang araw at naabutan namin ang cast na masaya dahil start na ng third deason sa Sunday at mataas pa rin ang ratings nila.

At their age, may mga issues na ang cast ng Sunday series ng GMA 7.

Gaya ni Joshua Dionisio na marami sa fans nila ni Barbie Forteza ang nasaktan sa lumabas na crush niya si Julie San Jose at nanghingi pa siya ng halik sa labi nang magkita sila sa rehearsal ng Party Pilipinas. Hindi namin na-interview ang bagets dahil biglang nawala sa tabi namin, hindi naman siguro siya umiwas sa press, ’no?

Si Jake Vargas ang ka-love team ni Bea Binene pero kay Derrick Monasterio siya nali-link mula nang bigyan
siya ng bulaklak ng bagets. Ang balita namin dahil sa ginawa ni Derrick, gagawin na silang love triangle sa Tween Hearts.

Wala sa taping sina Kristoffer Martin at Joyce Ching dahil naglagare sa taping ng Munting Heredera, hindi tuloy nausisa sa tsikang seryoso sila sa kanilang relasyon.

Marami pang tsika sa mga bagets na cast din ng pelikulang Tween Hearts: Class of 2012 at ’di lang akting ang ipapakita pati pagkanta dahil sila rin ang kakanta sa OST o Original Soundtrack ng movie.

Dennis walang tinatanggihang trabaho

2011-06-10T19:04:00.000-07:00

Magkasama sina Dennis Trillo at Iza Calzado sa celebration ng 113th Philippine Independence Day sa Hong Kong this Saturday. Sabay nito ang selebras*yon ng 50th anniversary ng Philippine Association of Hong Kong. Ang GMA Pinoy TV ang magdadala sa dalawa sa HK at una na silang nagkasama sa GMA Pinoy TV event sa Hawaii early this year.

Si Iza dapat ang kapareha ni Dennis sa Sinner or Saint na airing na sa Monday, pero nag-beg off ang aktres at naintindihan siya ni Dennis. Never niyang inisip na siya ang ni-reject ni Iza at magaling din si Bianca King na pumalit dito.

“I’m sure may magandang reason siya sa pagtanggi. Sa ganda ng material, kahit sino ang ilagay sa role ni
Noemi ay mag-i-excel. Para bang hindi ka puwedeng magkamali sa material na ito,” sabi ni Dennis.

Pinuna ng isang reporter na hindi conscious si Dennis ilagay man sa hapon o primetime slot ang soap niya. Kaya say niya : “Wala akong mga ganoong demands at ’di ko gawain ’yun. May paniwala rin ako na malas ang tumanggi sa project, lalo na nang mabasa ko ang script nito, medyo dark, pero maganda,” paniniyak ni Dennis.

International movie ni Pacman sa 2012 pa ang showing

2011-06-10T17:10:00.000-07:00

MANILA, Philippines - Wala pang title ang ginagawang pelikula pero hinihintay na ng fans sa buong mundo ang theatrical release ng feature film documentary ni WBO welterweight champion Rep. Manny Pacquiao sa susunod na taon.

Ayon sa head docu na si Ryan Moore, humigit sa 500 oras ng footages ang nakunan sa Manila, General Santos City, Sarangani, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D. C., Las Vegas at Dallas ang pagpipilian para sa final cut ng pelikulang pinamamahalaan ng Revelin Studios na naka-base sa Los Angeles.

‘I’ve been attached to the hip with Manny for almost a year now,” sabi ni Moore. “It’s a feature film documentary which will be released theatrically worldwide in 2012. It will give audiences an intimate look at Manny’s life and it’s Manny’s first international movie.”

Ang nasabing pelikula ay pinag-usapan sa kanyang naging laban noon kay Sugar Shane Mosley.

Sinimulan ang shooting nito noong Oktubre.

Dumayo pa sa General Santos City ang mga crew noon pang December para sa birthday celebration ni Pacman at ngayon ay naninirahan sila sa isang suite sa isang condo sa The Fort.

Present din ang crew nang i-turn over ng Philippine Charity Sweeptakes sa boxing champion ang siyam na ambulansiya bilang kapalit ng kanyang libreng serbisyon bilang endorser ng nasabing ahensiya ng pamahalaan.

Pangako rin ng produ na maraming mabubunyag na lihim si Pacman sa pelikulang ito dahil na rin sa suporta ng
mister ni Jinkee.

Sinabi rin ng writer na si Dave McNary na ang pelikula ay tututok sa pinagmulan niyang kahirapan, ang pagkakapanalo niya bilang kongresista, at ang plano niya sa kongreso na tutulong sa maraming mahihirap at kontrolin ang human trafficking sa bansa at sa ibang developing nations.

Si Leon Gast, isang New Jersey native na may pitong pelikula bilang producer, apat bilang editor at 12 bilang director, ang director ng pelikula ng buhay ni Pacman.

Pabalik-balik na raw ng bansa si Gast para diskubrehin ang pinanggalingan ni Pacman at mag-interview ng mga taong malalapit sa Pambansang Kamao.

Kris Bernal Prepares for the Show "Jump"

2011-06-05T17:20:00.000-07:00

KRIS Bernal was one of the celebrity judges in “Amazing Cooking Kids” when we visited its taping. Has she tasted partner Aljur Abrenica’s hotdog? “No, not yet,” she says.

“But the one he’s endorsing, natikman ko na. 'Yung tuna. He sent a box kasi to me.”

That’s what we’re referring to, not Aljur’s personal hotdog. She laughed. “Ganun ba? Ako pala ang nag-isip ng masama. Akala ko kasi, naughty question.”

After being paired anew with Aljur in “Spooky Nights,” she’ll now be paired with Mark Herras and Rocco Nacino in the new danceserye called “Jump.” Why is she paired with Mark who’s from Starstruck 1 and
Rocco who’s from Starstruck 5?

“I also don’t know, kasi from Starstruck 4 ako. Love triangle daw kami rito. Siguro, gusto lang ng GMA pagsama-samahin ang iba-ibang StarStruck batches kasi kasama rin dito sina LJ Reyes, Sarah Lahbati, Diva Montelaba, Enzo Pineda and Steven Silva. Eh, ako nga, hindi naman kasinghusay magsayaw ni Mark Herras kaya they’re sending me to a dance workshop para mahasa ako.”

She looks so thin and admits she lost weight. “Nagpapayat talaga ako. 90 lbs. lang ako ngayon. This is in preparation for ‘Jump’ kasi sexy raw outfits namin, laging naka-shorts at kita ang tiyan. No rice ako for two months now. Kasi pag mataba ako, lumalaki mukha ko sa screen.”

2011-06-05T16:55:00.000-07:00

Handang-handa raw si Bela Padilla na talbugan ang kaseksihan ni Jackie Rice sa Sisid. ‘Yan daw ang dapat abangan, ayon na rin sa director nitong si Ricky Davao.

“Nagulat din ako sa tapang ni Bela, huh! Saka seksi rin talaga! Pati nga ako, napapatunganga sa ganda’t seksi
niya! Ha! Ha! Ha!

“At least, hindi lang si Jackie ang aabangan ng mga lalaki.

Pagpasok ng character ni Bela, mapapanganga sila! Ha! Ha! Ha!” kuwento ni Ricky na katatapos lang mag-birthday.

Panay nga tanggap ni Ricky ng congratulations sa mataas na ratings ng Sisid. Although nagdirek na rin siya ng ilang shows sa GMA, laging second unit ang dinidirek niya. This time, first unit director si Ricky at ang kahusayan niya sa pag-arte ay kanyang sini-share sa mga stars ng Sisid.

Blind Item: Guess Who?

2011-06-05T16:45:00.000-07:00

Mukhang hindi papayag ang isang network na mawala sa kanila ang aktres na kanilang bini-build-up dahil nang mabalitaang interesado rito ang kalabang network, agad silang nag-counter offer.

Naunang nakipag-meeting ang aktres sa network na may magandang offer sa kanya, this Friday naman siya naka-schedule makipag-meeting sa former home network niya.

Bago pa makipag-meeting, ipinarating na sa aktres na may magandang project sa kanya kung sa home network siya muling pipirma.

Gwen admits she has a crush on Aljur

2011-06-04T22:04:00.000-07:00

Almost a month din palang nagbakasyon sa Australia si Gwen Zamora kaya hindi na ito napapanood sa Bubble Gang kung saan kasama siya ng mga sexy ring tulad niya na sina Sam Pinto, Ellen Adarna at Jackie Rice.

“Umuwi ako sa Australia kasi nanganak ang kapatid ko ng isang baby boy. Nagkaroon din kami ng bonding ng family ko roon. Sa Australia kasi kami nakatira. Ang sarap nga, dalawa na ang pamangkin ko na puro lalaki.

“Kung magkakaanak ako, ang gusto ko ring maging anak ay lalaki,” tsika ni Gwen.

Consistent si Gwen Zamora sa pagsasabing si Aljur Abrenica ang crush niya, pero kung liligawan daw siya
nito baka hindi niya sagutin dahil titingnan daw niya kung ‘yun ay showbiz lang o pang real-life na. Tanong namin, si Aljur ba ang wish niyang maging ama ng pangarap niyang lalaking anak?

Natawa lang si Gwen na may kahalong kilig.

Iwa Moto's ex now Janna's bf?

2011-06-04T20:50:00.000-07:00

SI Janna Dominguez ba ang culprit sa hiwalayang Iwa Moto at Mikey Ablan?

Si Mikey kasi ang balitang madalas pumupunta sa bahay ni Janna.

Lumikha ng eskandalo ang huling away nina Iwa at Mikey dahil humantong ‘yun sa studio ng GMA7. Kumpirmado rin ang balitang nagtangkang magpakamatay si Iwa kaya isinugod ito sa St. Luke's Hospital.

May nagbalita sa amin na taga-Cainta, madalas daw dumadalaw si Mikey sa bahay ni Janna na nasa isang
exclusive subdivision doon along Marcos Highway.

Palagi raw inuumaga si Mikey Ablan sa bahay ni Janna kaya hinuha ng aming spy, may nangyayaring “milagro” sa dalawa sa bahay pa mandin ng babae.

Sa paghihiwalay nina Iwa at Mikey, natural lang na manligaw sa iba si lalaki.

Super-ganda rin naman ni Janna at flawless din ang skin nito.

At sikat na rin dahil regular na napapanood sa Sunday sitcom ng GMA7 na Pepito Manaloto na ang role ay isang super-gandang atsay ni Pepito (Michael V).

Manny's new endorsement in the US

2011-06-04T20:36:00.000-07:00

Manny Pacquiao has a new endorsement in America.

The international boxing icon, actor, singer and congressman is now the new face of HP Touch Phone. Can you imagine kung magkano na naman ang nadagdag sa kayamanan ni Manny?

It is not yet out in the market pero dahil kay Manny, tiyak na magiging mainit ang bentahan nito sa atin sooner than you think.

Hewlett Packard recently announced a deal with Manny Pacquiao to promote the upcoming Hp TouchPad. The new 9.7-inch TouchPad Tablet, which should ship sometime this summer, is expected to go toe to toe with the IPad 2 Tablet from Apple, inc. launched last month.

This is Pacquiao’s first global endorsement deal. It is estimated to be worth around $1 million a year; it is
rumored he will get a small percentage of every HP product sold.

Not only will the campaign use the three advertising standards print, television, and radio; but it is set to also include outdoor and billboard as well. Manny will be featured in all the advertisements and the campaign is to run globally.

Sobrang swerte lang!

GMA Artist Center launches The Black Book

2011-06-03T23:06:00.000-07:00

Manila, Philippines - Not even Typhoon Bebeng’s prelude of heavy rains, thunder and lightning could deter the stars and GMA network bigwigs from coming out of their comfort zones last May 24 to be present in the well-appointed occasion launching GMA Artist Center (GMAAC)’s The Black Book, the latest catalogue of its steadily rising stable of talents, held at the Republiq in Resorts World Hotel in Parañaque City.

No less than GMA president and chief executive officer, lawyer Felipe Gozon, presided over the short and simple ceremonies, in the presence of other GMA executives led by GMAAC head Ida Ramos-Henares, also vice president for the Talent Management Division. The esteemed crowd that night also included lawyer Annette Gozon-Abrogar, president of GMA Films and other GMA executives such as Joey Abacan, Marivin Arayata, Gigi Santiago-Lara, Reggie Bautista, among others.

Gozon said, “GMA 7 a few years ago didn’t even have any contract artist under its management. But now, more than seven years after, GMAAC has produced homegrown artists, some of whom have made outstanding mark in the entertainment industry as a whole.”

Gozon cited the partnership, saying “definitely, the Talent Development and Management Department of GMA Artist Center is now a key partner in making us the No. 1 station in the country today.”

The more than 60-strong contract artists of GMAAC, led by today’s movie and television-raters, newsmakers and singing sensations, succeeded in making the event significant, turning the rainy, cold night into a warm, glittery affair of young people out to conquer the world.

Those who took centerstage that night were prime talents Iza Calzado, Rhian Ramos, Mark Herras, Aljur Abrenica, Kris Bernal, Sheena Halili, Dion Ignacio, Ryza Cenon, Bela Padilla, Dominic Roco, Kevin Santos, Vaness del Moral, Stef Prescott, Prince Estefan, Princess Snell, Dex Quindoza, Pancho Magno, Benedict Campos, Rey Talosig, and Djanin Cruz; StarStruck talents Sarah Lahbati, Nina Kodaka, Fianca Cruz, Rox Montealegre, Lou Sison, Vicky Ortega, Steven Silva, Rocco Nacino, Enzo Pineda, Sef Cadayona and Diva Montelaba; La Diva; tween stars Barbie Forteza, Louise delos Reyes, Alden Richards, Julieanne San Jose, Bea Binene, Joanna Marie Tan, Derrick Monasterio, Lexi Fernandez, Krytal Reyes, Joyce Ching, and Kristoffer Martin; hosts Luane Dy, Victor Aliwalas, Stephanie Henares and Gino dela Peña; comedians Chariz Solomon, Moymoy Palaboy and Jan Manual.

There were a handful who failed to make it to the event due to unavoidable circumstances. Marvin Agustin, Jackie Rice, Iwa Moto, Joshua Dionisio, Rich Asuncion, Yasmien Kurdi, Nadine Samonte, Solenn Heussaff, Lovi Poe, Isabelle Diaz, Isabel Oli, siblings Maxene Magalona, Saab Magalona, Elmo Magalona, Arkin Magalona and Frank Magalona, Kylie Padilla, Frencheska Farr, Gwen Zamora, Ellen Adarna, Chynna Ortaleza and Jillian Ward, among many others, were not present during the launch at the Republiq but they are as much a part of The Black Book as the others.

GMAAC prides itself with having worked only with the best talents in the business in coming up with The
Black Book. Frontliners are fashion photographers Doc Marlon Pecjo and his assistants Roy Macam, Ria Regino and Kench Genato; Xander Angeles and Jay Tablante; a barrage of A-1 stylists led Millet Arzaga, make-up artists led by Mickey See of Shu Uemura, and a phalanx of the country’s best designers and hairstylists.

The Black Book succeeds in presenting the artists in their most glamorous and stunning selves. The concept and images brings forth star power.

At the launch, performers were La Diva, Julieanne San Jose, Brenan Espartinez, Geoff Taylor and Jayanne Bautista. Tim Yap was main host for the night and at some point, he was joined by GMAAC’s multi-awarded hosts Stephanie Henares, Gino dela Pena, Luane Dy and Victor Aliwalas.

Henares takes pride in this accomplishment. “It took us two years to complete this catalogue and we are very happy to present it to you as it is today. We are very happy with the output. Here’s hoping to more years of success at the GMA Artist Center as we celebrate our 10th year,” she said.

2011-06-03T22:25:00.000-07:00

Barbie Forteza shares kung ano ang kanyang pinakamami-miss sa ‘Nita Negrita’, and what’s next for her.

Malapit nang matapos ang afternoon drama na Nita Negrita, na pinagbibidahan ng Tween royalty na si Barbie Forteza. Ngunit hindi pa rin nagtatapos ang mga kaabang-abang na eksena sa buhay ng kanyang character na si Nita. Ano nga kaya ang maaasahanng mga manonood sa mga nalalabing episodes ng Nita Negrita?

“Sobrang dami. As in kahit patapos na, hindi pa rin nauubusan ng mga revelation, ng mga twists, talagang
kahit sa huling araw, huling eksena, talagang punong-puno ng drama pa rin,” shares Barbie.

May patikim naman bang maibabahagi si Barbie sa mga manonood kung ano ang mga twists na ito?

“May mababaril, at may mamamatay,” paglalahad ni Barbie. “Pero yung mababaril… Basta panoorin niyo na lang. Basta may ganung twist.”

Samantala, natapos na ang taping nina Barbie para sa mga nalalabing episodes ng Nita Negrita. Ano naman kaya ang kanyang pinakamami-miss sa show na ito?

“Make-up ko!” pag-amin niya. “Yun na una. Yun talaga ang mami-miss ko talaga, na yung hirap, yung pagod, na talagang pag nasa set, make-up agad.”

Hindi naman masyadong matagal ang hihintayin ng mga manonood upang muling mapanood si Barbie dahil busy siya ngayon para sa Tweens The Movie: Class of 2012. Patuloy din ang paglabas ni Barbie sa Reel Love presents Tween Hearts, na napapanood pa rin tuwing Linggo pagkatapos ng Party Pilipinas. Ngunit mayroon pa ba siyang ibang upcoming projects na paparating after ng Nita Negrita?

“Sa ngayon, ang alam ko pa lang po, yung movie, pero they told me that they’re still planning about me, kung ano yung susunod [kong project]. Sana po, I’m hoping there’ll be more,” sagot niya.

Patuloy na subaybayan ang Nita Negrita sa Dramarama sa Hapon ng GMA.

Kylie Padilla, aalis na ba sa ‘Tween Hearts’?

2011-06-03T15:59:00.000-07:00

Very busy si Kylie ngayon sa ‘Blusang Itim’, and her star is truly on the rise. But may time pa ba siya for ‘Tween Hearts’?

Tuloy-tuloy na nga ang pag-shine ni Kylie Padilla sa mundo ng showbiz. Nagiging mas exciting at nakakakilig ang istorya ng kanyang character na si Heidi sa hit weekend teen-oriented show na Reel Love presents Tween Hearts. Ano pa kaya ang maaasahan ng mga manonood sa love triangle na Rick-Heidi-Aries/Nathan?

“Ang masasabi ko lang po, it’s a big surprise. Unexpected yung makikita nila kay Aries,” says Kylie excitedly.

Dagdag naman niya, “Si Rick, ang sarap sampalin kasi alam naman nating lahat na gusto niya si Heidi, pero
hindi niya maamin kay Heidi. Eto namang si Heidi, gusto rin si Rick so nasasaktan siya na hindi maamin ni Rick sa kanya.”

Meanwhile, aside from doing Tween Hearts ay nagbibida din si Kylie ngayon sa afternoon drama na Elena Patron’s Blusang Itim. Ano kaya ang kanyang pakiramdam na siya ngayon ang lumalabas bilang bida sa kanyang sariling show?

“I am so happy and may konting kaba din. Mas mabigat yung responsibility and ikaw ang magdadala ng show,” pag-amin niya.

Nadadama ba niya ang pressure na pumantay sa mga nakaraang shows sa hapon na naging very successful?

“Oo, konti. Actually, hindi konti. Medyo. Oo. Siyempre, ang gaganda ng mga shows,” paglalahad niya. “So may konting pressure na kailangan tumapat din ako.”

Binigyan ba siya ng dad niya ng advice bago siya magsimula dito sa Blusang Itim?

“Binigay ko sa kanya yung script tapos sabi niya, ‘O sige, anak, basahin mo ng mabuti. Isipin mo kung paano mo mabibigkas ang mga lines, and ayun, sabi niya, ‘Iyan ang hinintay mo anak. Galingan mo talaga.’” Kuwento niya.

Ngunit dahil busy na siya with Blusang Itim ngayon, magkaroon pa kaya siya ng time para sa kanyang paglabas sa Tween Hearts ?

“Sana magawan ng paraan kasi ayokong mawala sa Tween Hearts,” says Kylie. “Napakasaya kasi sa Tween Hearts, at saka parang family na rin yung mga cast and crew, parang ayokong mawala.”

Samantala, may mensahe naman siya para sa mga fans ng Tween Hearts.

“Sana magustuhan nila yung bagong storyline ni Rick, ni Aries, and Heidi. Sana suportahan nila and sana pati ako sana, ma-ano na ni Rick na gusto niya si Heidi.”

She was living perfectly as a ghost until a secret about her past is revealed when a spirit questor named Prince (Daniel Matsunaga) enters her life. She easily falls for him and saves his life from danger.

Later, Prince finds out that Snow White Lady is not a ghost at all, but is only a confused person. He then

Nagbabangayan ang Managers nila Jennylyn at Dennis

2011-04-03T00:57:00.000-07:00

MATAPOS ang alitan nina Jennylyn Mercado at Dennis Trillo, ngayon naman ay ang kani-kanilang manager ang nagbabangayan.

Hindi pinalampas ng manager ni Jen na si Becky Aguila ang panlalait sa kanya sa Twitter ng manager ni Dennis na si Popoy Caritativo.

Sa Twitter account kasi ni Popoy last Monday, nag-blind item ito na may isang talent manager na nagre-resort sa old tricks para mapag-usapan ang alaga.

Sinabi rin nito na laos na ang naturang manager at iniiwan na ng mga alaga.

Kahit blind item ang pag-kaka-tweet ni Popoy, obvious na ang tinutukoy niya ay si Becky Aguila dahil nag-text din daw siya sa abogado nito na si Atty. Joji Alonzo na tigilan na ang pagpi-feed ng kasinungalingan sa mga reporter.

Sa madaling salita, pinagbibinta-ngan ni Popoy si Becky na unang nag-leak sa media ng break-up nina Jen at Dennis at nagpi-feed umano ng mga maling balita tungkol sa dahilan ng break-up, particular na nga ang pananakit diumano ng actor sa actress.

Mabigat daw ang paratang ni Popoy kaya ‘di raw puwedeng ‘di iklaro ng kapwa talent manager.

“Bakit ako ang pinagbibinta-ngan niya na nagpi-feed sa mga reporter? May pruweba ba siya? Nanahimik nga kami at nagulat na lang ako nang kulitin ako ni Roldan Castro para sa official statement regarding the break-up dahil alam na raw nila ang totoo,” paglilinaw ni Becky.

Ang pagbibigay comfirmation daw ni Becky sa break-up ng alaga at ni Dennis ay may blessing din daw umano mismo ni Jen.

Samantala, may nakarating sa aming balita na hindi nagustuhan ni Popoy ang ginagawa ni Becky na pati siya, idinadamay sa break-up nina Jen at Dennis.

Enzo Pineda madalas dalawin si Louise delos Reyes

2011-04-02T03:07:00.001-07:00

ALAM kaya ni Sarah Labhati na madalas dalawin ni Enzo Pineda si Louise delos Reyes sa taping ng Alakdana sa Antipolo Napasyal kasi kami sa taping ng Alakdana last Thursday afternoon at kinumpirma ni Louise na dinadalaw siya ni Enzo sa taping at nagdadala ng pagkain.

Magkaibigan lang daw sila ni Enzo at nasa stage of knowing each other. Lumalabas sila pero in group. Ask ko si Louise kung alam ba ni Sarah, ka-loveteam ni Enzo at balitang ka-on ng huli ang una?

“Alam ko po ay wala silang relasyon ni Sarah. Kaibigan ko rin naman po sila. Dumadalaw si Enzo at nagdadala ng pagkain. Paborito ko yung carbonara na dinadala niya para sa akin,” say ni Louise, ang Alakdana.

Ang hindi alam ni Louise, may pagtingin sa kanya ang isa sa mga leading man niya sa Alakdana na si Alden Richards.

Si Alden ay sumali rin sa Starstruck pero hindi napasama sa top 12. Napasama lang siya sa top 60. Pero mas naunahan pa niya ang Starstruck winner na si Steven.
Sabi ni Alden na ang tunay na pangalan ay Richard Faulkerson Jr, matagal na niyang crush si Louise pero hindi niya masabi sa dalaga ang pagmamahal niya dito.
Kaya kapag dumarating raw si Enzo sa taping para dalawin si Louise ay tumatabi na lang siya at nagsisisi kung bakit hindi niya kaagad sinabi sa dalaga ang nadarama.
“Hindi pa rin ako susuko. Hindi pa naman sila (Enzo at Louise) mag-on kaya may pag-asa pa rin ako para manligaw,” matapang na pahayag ni Alden Richards.

Solenn, takot makipagrelasyon kay Richard!

2011-04-01T23:51:00.000-07:00

Hindi pa alam ni Solenn Heussaff kung sino kina Paulo Avelino at Tom Rodriguez ang makakalampungan niya sa remake ng Temptation Island ng Regal Films. Pero ayon kay Solenn, ngayon pa lang ay kinakabahan na raw siya.

Naloloka raw siya dahil second movie pa lang niya ay may love scene na agad siya.

Siyanga pala, walang idea si Solenn sa original version ng Temptation Island, kaya balak niya itong panoorin.

Kuwento ni Solenn, bukod sa Temptation Island, may isa pa siyang pelikulang gagawin sa Regal bago matapos ang taon, para makumpleto ang 3-picture contract niya sa Regal.

Ang unang movie nga niya sa Regal ay ang My Valentine Girls, na bida si Richard Gutierrez.

And speaking of Richard, consistent sa pagsasabi si Solenn na nasa ‘getting to know’ pa lang sila hanggang ngayon. Pag-amin ni Solenn, mas nangingibabaw raw sa kanya ngayon ang huwag munang magka-boyfriend.

Giit pa ni Solenn, hindi rin niya type na magka-boyfriend ng artista. Ayaw daw niya ng magulong lovelife.

Ayaw din daw niyang sumikip ang mundo niya dahil sa selos. At marami pa raw siyang gustong gawin sa buhay niya.

Inamin din ni Solenn na ayaw niyang maapektuhan ang friendship at closeness niya sa pamil*ya ni Richard, particular na kina Raymond at Ruffa. Sigurado raw kasi na kapag nag-break sila ni Richard ay puwedeng maapektuhan ang friendship niya sa mga ito.

Siyanga pala, nawiwindang si Solenn sa mabilis na development ng kanyang showbiz career. Hindi na raw siya puwedeng gumawa ng kalokohan sa harap ng maraming tao.

Marami na raw kasi ang nakakakilala sa kanya kahit saan siya magpunta. Hindi na rin daw siya madalas lumabas dahil sunud-sunod ang mga commitments niya. Kung dati raw pagkatapos ng tatlong araw niyang trabaho sa opisina, lalarga na siya sa kung saan niya gustong pumunta. Pero ngayon nakatali siya sa maraming commitments at hindi puwedeng uma*lis basta-basta. Pero, nag-i-enjoy naman siya sa kanyang career at gusto niyang magtagal sa industry.

Ibinalita naman ni Solenn na going strong ang relasyon ng kanyang kapatid na si Erwan Heussaff kay Anne Curtis. Malabo raw pasukin ni Erwan ang showbiz dahil hate nito ang intriga at ayaw niya ng limelight. Pero, naiintindihan daw nito ang trabaho ni Anne.

Jackie Rice Scandal Picture

Jackie Rice finally plunges into stardom via Sisid

2011-03-09T22:53:00.000-08:00

Tuloy na tuloy na ang napabalitang shelved project ni Jackie Rice sa GMA-7, ang afternoon soap na Sisid.

"Tuloy na tuloy! Happy, happy siyempre, panibagong project," sambit ni Jackie sa taped interview sa kanya ng StarTalk TX na ipinalabas kahapon, March 5.

Bakit nga ba hindi natuloy noon ang Sisid?

"Sabi nila, parang hihintayin muna nila na magkaroon ako ng confidence bago talaga i-push, di ba? Ayaw naman nila siyempre...hindi naman sila magsasayang ng pera sa hindi talaga alam yung ginagawa," sagot ng StarStruck 3 winner.

Ang napabalitang problema ay ang kakulangan pa sa kaalaman ni Jackie Rice na lumangoy. Sa Sisid kasi ay nire-require ang magandang young star na magkaroon ng maraming swimming sequences.

"Hindi talaga ako marunong lumangoy, pero ngayon marunong na ako," sabi niya.

Kakailanganin nga din ba na magpaseksi nang husto si Jackie Rice sa naturang project?

"Kung 'yon naman ang hinihingi nila, pero wala naman silang sinasabing ganun," sagot niya.

JACKIE'S CO-STARS. Bukod kay Jackie Rice, kasama rin sa Sisid sina JCTiuseco, Ian Batherson, at Dominic Roco bilang mga leading men niya; at si Rich Asuncion at ang nagbabalik na si LJ Reyes bilang mga kontrabida niya.

Masaya rin sina JC at Ian na matutuloy na ang Sisid.

Ani JC, "Kasi at least nakapag-prepare kami ng sarili namin, yung gusto namin na body weight namin, makukuha namin. At least pag start ng show, okay na kami, prepared kami, tsaka we've done workshops na rin."

Isa pang espesyal sa Sisid ay first time na magkakasama sa isang proyekto ang mag-amang Bembol at Dominic Roco.

"I'm really looking forward to this opportunity and, di ba, do some impact on the show," pahayag ni Bembol.

Sabi naman ni Dominic, "Finally! Excited na rin kasi makakatrabaho ko ang idol ko, my mentor, kaya ayun, very excited. Alam ko marami siyang maituturo sa akin, at least alam ko I'm in good hands."

Si Rich ang lalabas na kontrabida sa buhay ni Jackie Rice sa Sisid.

"This time, talagang tuluy-tuloy na yung pag-categorize sa akin as kontrabida," sabi niya.

Sabi naman ni LJ sa kanyang kontrabida role: "Yung craft kasi pag kontrabida ka, iba, e. Tsaka ako rin naman ang nag-request na gusto ko mas challenging na yung role."

It's over for Lovi and Ronald

2011-03-09T10:08:00.000-08:00

FINALLY, nagtapat na si Lovi Poe na tapos na ang pag-iibigan nila ni Congressman Ronald Singson

Sabi ni Lovi Poe nang maka-tsikahan namin sa taping ng Show Me Da Manny na napapanood every Sunday sa GMA 7 with Manny Pacquaio, Marian Rivera, atbp, nag-usap sila ni Ronald bago ito hatulan ng Hong Kong court ng isang taon at anim na buwang pagkabilanggo.

Nagdesisyon daw si Ronald to set her free dahil alam nito kung gaano kahirap para sa kanya ang sitwasyon dahil sa kasong nasuungan nito sa HK.

“Napakabait ni Ronald. Hindi siya selfish. Alam niya na parehong mahirap sa amin ang sitwasyon. Kaya siya na ang nagsabi sa akin that he`s setting me free.

“He will always be special to me. Hindi ko makalilimutan ang mga pinagsamahan namin,” maluha-luhang wika ni Lovi Poe.

Sa ngayon, magko-concentrate daw muna si Lovi Poe sa showbiz career. At nagpapasalamat siya sa Kapuso Network dahil pagkatapos ng My Valentine Girls ay isinama siya sa TV series na Captain Barbell na pinagbibidahan ni Richard Gu-tierrez bilang isa sa apat na leading ladies ng aktor.

Julie Anne and Elmo in ‘Wazak’ is a Hit!

2011-03-07T18:02:00.000-08:00

Hindi namin alam kung sinong ipapalit kay Direk Rico o kung ipapasa na kay Direk Mark ang full directorial control ng Party Pilipinas.

In fairness ay nakatulong sa show na dalawang team ang gumagawa nito dahil tila nagkaroon ng kompetisyon sa loob, na ang resulta ay magpagandahan at magpa*galingan, na ang nakikinabang ay ang programa at ang viewers nito.

Kumpara noong panahon ng makalumang SOP ay ang laki na ng in-improve ng PP.

Kung kailan umaayos na ang takbo at natatanggap na ng audience ang kasalukuyang mukha at nilalaman ng show ay nawalan ito ng isang haligi.

Bilib kami kay Direk Rico na tumagal siya sa programa ng mga sampung buwan gayong meron palang masalimuot na isyu hinggil sa kondisyon ng kanyang mga tao sa show.

Hindi namin sasabi*hing gusto namin ang lahat ng idea ni Direk Rico na napapanood namin sa PP, pero marami siyang ma*kabagong creative inputs na hindi maiisip ng ibang direktor na nabubuhay pa rin sa makalumang panahon.

Nakakalungkot lang na sa halip na suportahan ng istasyon ang mga bagong dugo na may mga bagong idea ay tila kabaligtaran pa ang nangyayari, kaya napipilitang umalis ang mga ito.

Idea ni Direk Rico ‘yung ‘Wazak’ musical na tinampukan ng loveteam nina Elmo Magalona at Julie Anne San Jose. Ambisyoso ang project niyang ‘yon pero nagbunga ang kanyang effort dahil ang ganda ng kinalabasan ng mala-Romeo & Juliet na rap musical.

Aminado kaming hindi namin naintindihan ‘yung introduction nito na ‘Dead Sync’, pero ‘yung mismong ‘A Wazak Love Story’ ay type na type namin.

Na-showcase nang husto sa nasabing musical ang galing nina Julie Anne at Elmo, na dalawa sa pinaka-talented na bagets ng GMA.

Klik na klik ang ‘Wazak’ hindi lang sa JuliElmo fans kundi maging sa wider audience dahil bukod sa dalawa ay pawang mahuhusay rin ang kasama nila rito gaya nina Radha, Nyko Maca, Kris Lawrence, Artstrong at La Diva.

Mami-miss namin ang mga ganu’ng konsepto ngayong nagbitiw na sa kanyang puwesto si Direk Rico.

Kahit iniwan na niya ang Party Pilipinas ay mananatili pa rin siya sa bakuran ng Siyete dahil meron pa siyang Showbiz Central at Kap’s Amazing Stories na pinagkakaabalahan.

Sakaling nais magbigay ng reaksyon ng GMA hinggil sa isyung ito ay bukas ang aming pahina para sa kanilang panig ng kuwento.

LJ Reyes returns to work after giving birth to her baby Aki with Paulo Avelino

2011-03-06T21:26:00.000-08:00

Sa pagbabalik-showbiz ni LJ Reyes pagkatapos niyang isilang ang anak nila ng boyfriend niyang si Paulo Avelino na si Aki ay may bago na rin siyang manager.

Kasama na siya sa pool of talents ng PPL Entertainment Inc., na pinamamahalaan ni Perry Lansigan. Magkasunod lang silang pumirma ng isa pang bagong talent ni Perry na si Wendell Ramos.

Sa pakikipag-usap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay LJ sa pamamagitan ng text ay sinabi nitong masayang-masaya siya na tinanggap siya ni Perry bilang alaga nito.

Ayon pa sa StarStruck alumna, gusto naman niyang subukan na may ibang manager since from the beginning ay ang GMA Artist Center na ang humawak ng kanyang showbiz career.

"Tapos na kasi yung contract ko sa Artist Center so, ako naman, parang gusto ko namang subukan or mag-try ng iba," sabi ni LJ. "Nagpapasalamat naman ako na pumayag naman si Kuya Perry na i-manage ako.

"So far, hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang mga magiging plano niya for me, sa career ko, kasi kaka-sign ko pa lang naman. Idi-discuss pa namin yun for sure. But knowing Kuya Perry, baka i-surprise na lang ako niyan."

GOING SEXY? Ang unang project ni LJ Reyes sa pagbabalik-showbiz niya ngayong isa na siyang ganap na ina ay ang afternoon soap na Sisid, na pagbibidahan ni Jackie Rice. May pagkaseksi ang tema ng soap kunsaan si LJ ang magiging main kontrabida ni Jackie.

Simula na ba ito ng pagpapaka-daring niya, lalo pa nga't hindi na nasundan ang daring move niya simula nang mag-cover girl siya sa FHM?

"Siguro!" sagot ni LJ. "Kasi, the project itself daw, as Direk Ricky Davao have told us, is very sexy and intimate. Kaya lahat daw kami, kailangang magpa-sexy sa show."

Hindi naman mahihirapan sa aspetong ito si LJ. Kung titingnan kasi siya ngayon ay para siyang hindi nanganak. Mas sexy pa yata siya ngayon kumpara noong hindi pa siya nabubuntis.

EAGER TO WORK. Na-miss daw ni LJ Reyes ang pag-arte kaya very eager siyang mag-taping ulit at makabalik sa trabaho. Pero alam daw niyang kapalit nito ay mababawasan ang oras niya sa anak nila ni Paulo.

Pero aniya, "Naku, wala naman po yatang magulang ang kayang iwan ang anak. Pero, baka magutom kami kung hindi ako magwo-work! Joke lang!

See baby Aki latest picture http://plixi.com/p/81268833 tweeted by Ryza Cenon http://twitter.com/#!/iamryzacenon

"Hindi ko naman talaga siya iiwan. Kapag may chance na isama ko siya kahit sa taping, isasama ko siguro si Aki. Or kapag si Paulo naman ang walang work, siya naman ang in-charge."

Solenn Heussaff will do a "Katy Perry like" dance album!

2011-03-06T21:13:00.000-08:00

Diyosa kung tingnan ng maraming kalalakihan ang model-VJ-fashion designer-makeup artist-turned-actress na si Solenn Heussaff.

Ever since umingay ang kanyang pangalan via GMA-7's reality show Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown, naging isang sex symbol na si Solenn. Kumbaga, perfect siya sa mata ng marami.

TEENAGE YEARS. Pero ang hindi alam ng marami ay dumaan si Solenn sa matinding pagkawala ng self-confidence noong teenager pa siya. Inamin ni Solenn na during those years ay halos magtago lang siya dahil takot siya sa pambu-bully sa kanya ng ibang bata sa school.

Naikuwento ni Solenn sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na during her high school years ay nag-struggle siya sa pagiging overweight.

Tuwing papasok daw siya sa school ay parati siyang kinakabahan dahil alam niyang may mga tutukso na naman sa kanya. Dahil dito ay madalas siyang umiyak nang patago sa school.

"I was terribly overweight when I was 13 or 14 years old. We're talking about 200 pounds overweight ako, tapos very short pa ako. So you would just imagine how cruel the kids in school could be to someone like me," pagbabalik-tanaw ni Solenn Heussaff.

"I didn't have many friends then because I would shut out people in my life. I was so hurt by what they were calling me. They would call me 'Free Willy,' 'big whale,' and all those nasty names that a kid would not like.

"So that really put me down and it affected my confidence. There are times that I would be afraid of going to school because may trauma na ako sa mga bullies. I just want them to leave me alone.

"That's why I can relate to a lot of teenagers out there who goes through something like this, because I was one of them before. "

Sa tulong ng kanyang mga magulang at ilang mga kaibigan, pinilit nila si Solenn Heussaff na lumaban at gumawa ng paraan para maibalik nito ang kanyang self-esteem. Kilala kasi nila si Solenn na masayahin at nalulungkot silang nakikita itong depressed dahil sa pisikal na kaanyuan niya.

"The people in my life helped overcome my depression and I tried to make things better for me," sabi ni Solenn Heussaff. "I promised myself that I will make a change. I will not do it for the people who put me down, I will do it for myself because I want to experience change."

CRASH DIET. Sinimulan ni Solenn Heussaff ang mag-diet. Yung mga dating kinahihiligan niyang kainin ay isinakripisyo niya para siya pumayat. Yun nga lang ay mali ang naging unang paraan niya ng pagda-diet.

Kuwento niya, "I just started eating an apple for the whole day. My parents didn't know that I was doing that crash diet thing and it made me sick. I was hospitalized for a few days because of that.

"When my parents found out, they got mad at me. If I want to get it right, I must do the right thing. Eat properly and exercise. Hindi raw puwede ang crash diet.

"So I took their advice and I ate healthier meals. Then I exercised a lot. I got into dancing. That shed off the unwanted pounds.

"When I achieved the goal that I wanted, I felt good and my confidence slowly came back. Wala naman akong galit to the kids who bullied me. I made an effort to improve myself and I was successful in doing it."

MAKEOVER SHOW. Ngayon, bukod sa pagiging celebrity ay isa na ring host si Solenn Heussaff ng kanyang sariling makeover show sa GMA News TV na Fashbook. Hindi nga raw ito pangkaraniwang makeover show na magpapaganda lang sila ng mga tao. May kinalaman din ang inner beauty rito na pinakaimportante sa lahat.

"This is not just a physical makeover but we also makeover your inner beauty," sabi niya.

"For me, what's important is what's inside your heart. If you have beauty there, then it will reflect on the outside. Based on my experience, it's a must that you feel good inside.

"Kaya before we make the makeover thing, we have a life coach [Miss A] to talk with whoever we are working on. Para to find out what's going on with her life. Kung ano ang mga dapat na gawin niya to help bring out that true beauty in her.

"Kami naman nila Migs [Mayuga] and Eric [Poliquit], we will do the makeover so that she will not just feel good inside but outside as well. It's a fun show and people will learn something from us. Hindi lang mga makeup and styling tips, but how to pick yourself up and feel good about yourself."

Bukod sa Fashbook ay busy rin si Solenn Heussaff sa ibang shows tulad ng Party Pilipinas at sa nalalapit na GMA-7 telefantasya na Captain Barbell.

Sa movies naman ay kasali si Solenn Heussaff sa remake ng Temptation Island under Regal Entertainment. Makakasama niya rito sina Marian Rivera, Heart Evangelista, Lovi Poe, Rufa Mae Quinto, at John "Sweet" Lapus.

Ang kanyang debut album naman under MCA Universal ay lalabas na sa April. Isa raw itong dance album na mala-Katy Perry ang dating.

Marian Rivera AMAYA Sword Fight Training

Mga artista ng hindi nagri-rate na show, nagsisisihan

2011-03-05T19:45:00.000-08:00

May special participation si Rhian Ramos sa Captain Barbell. Gagampanan pa rin niya ang role ni Lea at magkokonek ng unang Captain Barbell at ang relasyon nila ni Teng (Richard Gutierrez) sa bagong series na March 21 ang premiere.

Pag-uusapan na rin ang next soap ni Rhian. May balita rin na magho-host siya ng entertainment show, pero hindi ito nagbigay ng detalye.

Habang walang bagong soap sa GMA 7, sa GMA News muna napapanood si Rhian bilang host ng In The Limelight kasama sina Aubrey Carampel at Nelson Canlas na mapapanood Monday to Friday, 7:30 p.m ay magaan pa rin ang schedule ni Rhian dahil MW lang sila live at taped ang ibang episodes. Humingi siya ng tips kay Mo Twister kung paano maging effective showbiz news host at nangakong ire-report ang balita tungkol sa kanya at hindi siya magdi-deny.

Samantala, si Rhian pala ang bagong endorser/image model ng Cinderella at isa sa mga araw na ito, haharap siya sa press para sa presscon ng PLDT myDSL na isa sa unang endorsement niya.

Naintriga kami sa tweet ng isang aktres na “So funny…pls. stop blaming other people for your failure. Watch your show & look at your face, may nararamdaman ka ba? kasi ako wala” at sinundan ng “I’m very disappointed, do not say bad things about your co-stars pls. ‘Yung kaibigan ko ‘di hamak namang mas nag-effort kesa sa ‘yo.” Ouch!

Nag-effort kaming diskubrihin ang background ng intriguing tweet at nalaman naming dinepensahan lang ng aktres ang kaibigang aktres sa hindi magandang sinasabi ng aktor na kasama ng kaibigan ng aktres sa isang series. Ang kaibigan ng aktres at ibang kasama sa series daw ang sinisisi ng aktor sa hindi pagki-klik ng kanilang show na parang unfair nga naman.

Tahimik ang aktres na kaibigan ng aktres na nag-tweet at tinanggap na lang ang sinabi ng aktor, kaya ang kaibigang aktres ang nagdepensa sa kanya. Ang maganda nito, ‘wag na lang magsisihan at mas galingan na lang ng lahat ang trabaho para magandang show ang napapanood ng viewers.

Si Rico Gutierrez ang nakatokang magdirek ng Party Pilipinas this Sunday, pero dumating kaya siya, eh kare-resign lang niya sa show last Thursday. Ending ng musical na Wazak Love Story Act III na concept ni direk Rico at tampok ang love team nina Julie Ann San Jose at Elmo Magalona, tingnan natin kung siya pa rin ang magdidirek ng show this Sunday.

Hindi nawawalan ng regular TV show si Luigi Revilla mula nang maging exclusive contract star siya ng GMA 7.

Anak ni Senator Bong Revilla si Luigi na ipinakilala sa Koreana, ang katatapos na afternoon drama series ni Kris Bernal.

Hindi nabakante si Luigi nang magwakas ang Koreana dahil isinama siya sa cast ng Magic Palayok, ang early primetime show ng Kapuso network na napapanood bago ang 24 Oras.

***

Itinanggi ng isang GMA Artist Center insider na pinatay ang karakter ni Bela Padilla sa Machete dahil hindi siya nakakatulong sa show.

Hindi raw mawawala si Bela sa Machete dahil may twist ang kuwento na muling magbabalik sa kanya sa nabanggit na programa.

***

Hindi na maligaya ang sikat na aktres sa kanyang top-rating show kaya nag-iisip siya na umalis.

Hindi pa alam ng co-stars ng aktres ang plano niya pero kung matutuloy ang kanyang pag-alis, posibleng isara na lamang ang TV show.

Ang aktres ang buhay ng TV show na matagal nang namamayagpag sa ere. Kilala ang aktres sa pagiging malihim kaya walang nakakaalam sa tunay na dahilan ng disappointment niya sa sariling programa.

DAHU: If actress, dancer didn’t do it, what did they do the whole day in a room together?

2011-03-05T19:26:00.000-08:00

MANILA, Philippines – A beautiful young actress vehemently denied an alleged tryst took place between her and a handsome young actor-dancer. Both celebrities belong to a network with a “heart.”

According to a source, a close friend of the actress informed her about the rumor after the friend heard it from someone close to the actor.

The rumor said actress went with actor willingly to a random out-of-town trip months ago.

Actor, claimed the source, said that the pair spent the entire day inside a room of a resort in a nearby province and had so much fun together in bed.

The actress vehemently denied this to her friend, and even said they didn’t even come close to having sex at all.

“He’s just way out of my league,” she was quoted by her friend as saying.

Source added that maybe the actor was just saying those things to brag and claim that the actress was once, in love with him.

Anyway, the couple has not really been an item. Both have conveniently moved on with their lives: Actress is very much involved with a controversial TV host while actor is the boyfriend of an upstart actress who comes from a very controversial family – a mom who used to be a teeny-bopper and a politician dad.

CHYNNA MUM ABOUT RYZA'S 'PREGNANCY'

2011-03-05T19:24:00.000-08:00

CHYNNA Ortaleza knows she’s not the first choice for the role of Cherie Gil’s evil sister in “Magic Palayok”. It was meant for Nadine Samonte, who was transferred to “My Lover, My Wife”.

“Okay lang sa’kin, no problem,” she says. “I’m enjoying the role kasi contravida pero nakakatawa ang dating. My character’s name is Natasha Ledesma and I’ve just been told screen name daw ito ng isang sexy star sa Seiko Films noong araw kaya curious tuloy ako to see how she looks.”

She welcomes the chance of working with Cherie in “Magic Palayok”. “Idol ko siya as the classiest contravida ever at natutuwa ako kasi lagi kaming magkasama sa eksena. Dream come true for me na makasama siya tapos ang bait-bait pa niya. When I said idol ko siya, she said we can be friends.”

She admits she was about to move to TV5. “Matagal na akong walang show sa GMA and they’ve been getting me to do guestings sa TV5. Then they offered me to do ‘Babaeng Hampaslupa’. Kaso, nag-counter offer sina Ms. Annette Gozon ng GMA ng 3-year guaranteed contract of two shows a year, so I stayed with GMA.”

Is it true her friend Ryza Cenon is preggy after she was seen throwing up on the set of “Machete”? “I don’t know. Ayoko ng sumagot sa ganyan. May pinagtanggol ako noon na hindi, tapos buntis pala.”

She’s referring to LJ Reyes, who later gave birth to her and Paolo Avelino’s son.

Maria Aragon's Filipino Parents is Proud of Her!

2011-02-28T20:32:00.000-08:00

MANILA, Philippines - The loudest applause for 10-year-old Filipino-Canadian YouTube sensation Maria Aragon may extremely well come from her parents, who are nothing short of proud of her unprecedented fame.

“Pinagmamalaki namin siya… [proud kami sa kanya] 100 percent,” stimulated Maria’s mother, an Ormoc, Leyte native, in a Skype interview with GMA-7’s “24 Oras,” Feb. 28.

It’s been just a couple of weeks since Maria Aragon posted on YouTube her piano-decked rendition of Lady Gaga’s new song “Born This Way” that moved the singer-songwriter herself, prompting her to tweet about Maria’s cover.

As one of YouTube’s top properties, Maria Aragon by now had interviews one after another on radio, and appeared on some big-shot television shows such as "Ellen" (which prompted another tweet from Lady Gaga, branding her “such a doll” and a standing ovation from the audience) and “Good Morning America” (where its anchor George Stephanopoulos handed her a gift certificate for six months of piano lessons).

Another forthcoming milestone for Maria’s booming career is her much-awaited duet with Lady Gaga in her Toronto, Canada show in March. The invitation came personally from Gaga during their surprise phone chat during one of Maria’s radio interviews in Winnipeg.

As of this writing, her "Born This Way" cover has climbed to over 16 million hits on YouTube.

Regardless of Maria Aragon spanking achievements, Maria’s parents mentioned that their daughter, a Grade 5 student at the Isaac Brock School in Winnipeg, often misses school.

“Nung nasa LA nga kami, nandun kami sa hotel, umiiyak siya, sabi niya ‘I miss my school already’,” related Maria’s father, who originates from Mandaluyong City.

While Maria Aragon's parents are supportive of their daughter’s music ambitions, they want her to persist her studies.

“Di siya titigil sa pag-aaral, tuluy-tuloy ‘yan…” said her dad.

Even though Maria Aragon hasn't been to the Philippines, Maria gets to watch local shows on the TV. Maria Aragon also is aware of several Filipino celebs such as Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera, Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez. Maria Aragon also mentioned broadcast newscasters Jessica Soho, Mel Tiangco, and Mike Enriquez.

Maria extended her thankfulness to her kababayans in straight Filipino.

“Sa mga kababayan ko sa Pilipinas, binabati ko kayo ng magandang gabi at saka mahal ko kayong lahat,” she said.

Chariz Solomon, Nagwala sa Bar!

2011-02-28T19:32:00.000-08:00

Agaw eksena si Chariz Solomon sa isang bar sa Quezon City last Friday, 4:00 AM. Nagsisigaw at nambato ng baso sa isang waiter. Nagpupuyos sa galit ang kanyang kasamang lalake. Marami ang nag-usyoso at nagulat dahil ang babaeng ito ay ang GMA 7 TV host-comedienne at nasa cast ng Machete na si Chariz Solomon!
Pinigilan ng mga bouncer ang pagwawala ng aktres at kinausap ang kasamang lalake, na boyfriend pala niya, na umalis na lamang sa bar at sa labas na lamang pag-usapan ang kanilang sigalot. Habang palabas daw ng bar, tuloy pa rin ang pagsigaw at pagwawala ni Chariz, sobrang galit hanggang sa pagsakay sa kotse nito.

Upang kinawin kung ang komedyana nga ang babaeng binabanggit ng mga waiters at bouncers ng bar, tinawagan ko si Chariz. I verified ang pangyayari. Nagkita kami sa Alfonso, Cavite. Sa isang hotel sa Tagaytay siya tumuloy pagkatapos ng kaguluhan sa bar.

Kuwento niya, sobrang nainis siya sa boyfriend niya dahil maepal daw ito. Nagkasundo raw silang maghiwalay ng lugar kung saan gigimik upang ma-enjoy nila ang gabing ‘yon kasama ang kani-kanilang mga barkada. Pero nung nasa kalagitnaan na raw ang gabi, kinulit daw siya ng boyfriend na sumama na rin sa bar kung saan sila gumigimik. Pumayag naman daw siya. Pero pinaghiwalay daw niya ng cubicle ang lugar ng bawat isa upang hindi magkailangan ang mga kaibigan niya at mga kaibigan ng boyfriend niya.

Alas-kuwatro ng madaling-araw, nagbago na daw ang timpla ng boyfriend niya at umastang bodyguard niya. Binabantayan lahat ng ginagawa niya at nag-aaya nang umuwi. Hindi raw maintindihan ni Chariz ang pangungulit nito. Nakiusap pa raw siya rito na maghintay na lang muna, kung hindi ay mauna na. May sarili naman daw siyang kotse. Hindi pa rin daw pumayag ang boyfriend niya. Nagsisima-ngot at nangungulit na. Kaya sumiklab na ang inis ni Chariz, feeling daw niya ay napapahiya siya sa mga kasama niya at mga taong nasa loob ng bar.

Dahil sa nangyari, sa Tagaytay na lamang daw nag-stay si Chariz, walang dalang damit kundi ang suot na sando blouse at shorts na suot pa niya sa gimikan. At dahil may taping din ang Machete ng 7 PM sa Alfonso, Cavite.

During my interview, basa pa ang buhok ni Chariz at nakabalot ito ng malaking tuwalya, ang sando blouse pa rin ang suot-suot. Nag-iisa pa lang siya at wala pa ang mga crew, kaya nakiusap siya na samahan ko muna siya.

Humihingi rin siya ng paumanhin sa mga waiter na nabato niya ng baso at sa pamunuan ng bar dahil sa gulo na nagawa niya.

Sa ngayon, maayos na si Chariz Solomon, pero mukhang magtatagal pa raw bago sila magkaayos ng boyfriend niya.

Jennylyn will undergo tonsillectomy

2011-02-26T19:56:00.000-08:00

Kuwento ng manager ni Jennylyn Mercado na si Tita Becky Aguila, nagdesisyon na si Jen na ipatanggal ang kanyang tonsil para matigil na ang pabalik-balik ng sakit niyang tonsillitis.

Ang tonsillitis daw ni Jennylyn Mercado ang isa sa mga rason kung bakit madalas na nagkakasakit ang aktres at isinusugod sa ospital.

Dahil daw sa sakit na `yon, hindi makagawa ng show o concert si Jennylyn Mercado, na madalas niyang gawin noong hindi pa siya nagkakaroon ng sakit na ganito.

Kuwento nga ni Tita Becky, dapat ay marami na silang nagawang show o concert ni Jennylyn, kaya nga lang, hindi ito natutuloy dahil sa madalas na pagsulput-sulpot ng ubo at lagnat ng aktres.

At ayon naman daw sa doctor ni Jennylyn Mercado, maaari na nitong ipatanggal ang kanyang tonsil para maiwasan na rin ang posibleng pagkakaroon ng heart disease ng aktres.

Tiniyak naman ng doctor ni Jennyly na hindi maapektuhan ang singing voice ng aktres kapag natanggal na ang kanyang tonsil.

Anyway, nu’ng birthday daw ni Empress ay pinilit pa rin ni Jennylyn na kumanta kahit masama ang pakiramdam nito. Hindi raw kasi nito matanggihan si Empress dahil close ito sa dalaga.

At nagtagal lang daw ng konting oras si Jennylyn sa party, at pagkatapos ay umuwi na rin para makapagpahinga.

Kuwento pa ni Tita Becky, Isang buwang magpapahinga si Jennylyn matapos ang operasyon. At pagbalik daw ni Jennylyn ay agad na nitong haharapin ang bagong project sa GMA 7.

Ang Little Star ang huling serye na ginawa ni Jen sa GMA 7.

Balak na rin ni Tita Becky na pagtuunan ng pansin ang pagkanta ni Jennylyn. Inaasahan ni Tita Becky na makakapag-usap na sila ng Viva Records para sa dalawang album pa na natitira na dapat gawin ni Jen.

Meron din daw dalawang movies na gagawin si Jennylyn, mula sa tatlong pelikula na pinirmahan nila sa Viva Films.

Siyanga pala, sa March 1 and 2 ay nasa Hong Kong si Jennylyn para dumalo sa red carpet premiere ng ‘Rosario’, kasama ang producer nila na si Mr. Manny V. Pangilinan.
