Heart at Jericho solid ang relasyon

2007-05-02T17:16:00.000-07:00

PAALIS this Wednesday si Heart Evangelista para sa concert with the APO and Nanette Inventor. Sa Adrian Phillips Ballroom sa Boardwalk Hall ng Atlantic City, New Jersey, sa May 5 at sa GW Lisner Theater sa Washington D.C. sa May 6.

Bibisitahin na rin niya ang sister niya sa San Francisco bago bumalikng 'Pinas sa May 12.

Hindi niya kasama si Jericho Rosales sa Amerika't busy din ito at 'di sila laging magkasama dahil ayaw ng boyfriend.

"I respect that he's everyone's leading man. Ayaw kong ipakita para ma-reach out niya ang girl fans," sabi ni Heart.

Solid ang relasyon nina Heart at Jericho ngayon, pero may kanya-kanya pa rin silang buhay, gaya nang gustong magtayo ng resort sa San Fernando, La Union ng actress.

Dream ito ng actor, pero siya ang gagawa. Excited naman siya sa malapit nang matapos na bahay ng actor sa may Loyola Grand Villas at sana raw sa birthday nito sa September ay makalipat na.

Okey kay Heart na pagtatambalin sina Jericho at Sarah Geronimo sa musical soap ng ABS-CBN. Siya naman, ipinapareha kina Geoff Eigenmann sa Hiram at John Prats at sa gagawing variety show, iba rin ang makakasama.

Kinumpirma nitong nagkikita sila nina Kristine at Diether 'pag nagsisimba sila ni Jericho sa New Life Church sa Alabang.

"Hi lang ang batian namin at nagbebeso-beso, pero 'di kami super tsika dahil hindi kami masyadong close ni Kristine," kuwento nito.

Katrina, Proud sa Hinaharap

2007-03-28T01:50:00.000-07:00

KAPANSIN-PANSIN sa TV plug ng Lupin ang kasuotang two-piece ni Katrina Halili. Lutang na lutang ang hubog ng kanyang katawan, umbok ng dibdib at tambok ng bandang ibaba ng katawan niya.

Pansinin man ‘yon sa plug, hindi naman maiwasang masita ang kapayatan ng kanyang mga braso’t hita, huh!

"Nagda-diet po kasi ako dahil lagi akong naka-two piece sa Lupin. Mahirap naman po ‘yung mataba ako sa mga eksena kong ‘yon.

"Minsan nakakainis dahil panay ang diet ko. Kapag naniinis ako, deadma na lang ako. Kakain talaga ako kahit malaki ang tiyan ko sa TV. Ha! Ha! Ha!" sabi niya.

Bakit siya pumayag na ipakita ang kanyang katambukan?

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ano ba kayo? Ha! Ha! Ha!

"Ang sinabi lang sa akin, sexy ang role ko. Parang Angelina Jolie sa Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Nu’ng nagti-taping na kami, doon ko lang nalaman na halos lagi akong naka-two piece.

"Okey lang naman dahil sa Majika, parang naka-two piece rin ako. May tali lang nakalagay sa damit ko," sabi niya.

Hindi ba siya nahiya kay Richard lalo na’t first time niyang makasama ang guwapong aktor?

"Noon una, medyo nahihiya po. Iba naman kasi ‘yung pictorial na medyo naka-two piece ka. Konti lang ‘yung tao.

"Iba naman ‘yung taping. Ang daming tao diyan. Mga nag-iilaw, cameraman. Ang daming tao habang umaarte ka o tumatakbo. Iba po ‘yon. Medyo nakakailang nu’ng una pero nu’ng tumagal, nasanay na po ako.

"Saka nagtatapis naman ako bago mag-shoot. Pag take na lang, saka ko tinatanggal," pahayag niya.

Wala bang nagagalit sa suot niya? Eh, si Mark (Herras)?

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Wala naman pong nagagalit. Wala akong boyfriend. Loveless po ako!" say ni Katrina.

Wala bang malisya ang tingin sa kanya ni Richard kapag ganoon ang suot niya?

"Wala po. Biru-biruan lang po kami. ‘Uy, sexy naman ng mga kasama ko. Suwerte ko naman!’ Mga ganoon lang. Biro lang," sagot niya.

Hindi ba siya nagka-crush kay Richard?

"Crush? Matagal ko na po kasi siyang nakikita sa Channel 7. Nu’ng una siyempre, oo pero. Huwag na nating gawin isyu. Tama na! Ha! Ha! ha!

"Sino ba naman ang hindi magkaka-crush kay Richard, guwapo naman siya. Wala, friend lang kami," dagdag pa niya.

Naku, after Lupin, sex object na talaga ang tingin sa kanya.

"Hindi naman po siguro. Sexy kami rito pero astig ang dating. Hindi ‘yung sexy na sasayaw-sayaw. Hindi cheap. Sobrang ganda," rason niya.

Pero kaya ba niyang agawin si Richard kay Georgina Wilson?

"Ha? Naku, hindi ko kaya ‘yon. Hindi naman ako pretty. Hayaan mo na sila. Hindi ko kayang mang-agaw! Masasaktan ako! Ay!" say pa niya.

Teka, ano na ang nangyari sa sakit niya sa lalamunan? Hindi ba siya naaalarma na hanggang ngayon ay may bukol pa siya sa leeg?

Bakit hindi pa niya ito pinagagamot?

"Pinapagamot ko naman. Pero, marami kasing dumarating na trabaho kaya hindi ko pa mapatanggal. Malapit na naman po ang Holy Week. Baka masingit ko.

"Minsan, mahinang-mahina ako. Parang may trangkaso. Minsan naman, ang lakas-lakas ko. Inaatake lang ako. Sobrang bigat ng katawan ko.

"May infection kasi ako sa lalamunan ko. Dahil sa infection, nagkaroon ako ng lymph nodes. ‘Pag may ganyan ka, may sugat ka raw. Eh, may infection ako. Nagasgas kasi. Sa sobrang lakas ng boses ko, minsan kasi, kanta ako nang kanta. May mga raket kasing dumarating! Tapos sisigaw

Kissing scene nila Robin at Angel, sa Thailand kukunan

2007-03-20T05:54:00.000-07:00

Kung hindi babaguhin ang plano ay ngayong araw, Martes, sa Changmai,
Bangkok kukunan ang most awaited kissing scene nina Robin Padilla at
Angel Locsin para sa programang Asian Treasures.

Tsika sa amin ng production staff ng AT mula sa Bangkok,
Thailand, "As of now, we're waiting for the train going to Changmai,
nasiraan kasi, supposedly dumating ang train namin ng 12 noon
(Sunday) kaya alas tres na ng hapon kami nakaalis.

"The trip was good, walang hassles, wala rin kaming tulog lahat kasi
lagare, masaya lahat."

Nagkagustuhan na raw kasi sina Binoe at Angel sa istorya kaya't may
kissing scene na at aabangan din daw ang reaction ng aktres sa
nasabing eksena.

"They're okey, in fact kapag nagbibigay si Robin ng stuff kay Angel,
may pasalubong din si Angel kay Robin, so sa nakikita namin, they're
okey at hindi totoo `yung iniiwasan ni Angel si Robin, that's not
true," kwento pa sa amin.

At natuwa ang lahat dahil lumabas na kalaban ng aktor sa fight scenes
ay ang fight instructors ng mga pelikulang Ong-Bak at Beautiful Boxer
na hindi namin nakuha ang names.

"Overwhelmed si Binoe because pinuri-puri nung dalawang instructors
ang Pinoy, magagaling daw sa martial arts. Kaya hindi rin nahirapang
i-direk," dagdag kwento pa sa amin.

Supposedly, March 23 ay pabalik na si Robin ng Maynila, pero magi-
stay siya `til March 26 dahil birthday ng kanyang mahal na inang si
Mommy Eva Cariño.

"Uy, behave ang Binoe dito, no hanky-panky kasi he's with his two
kids, magkakasama sila sa hotel," dagdag tsika pa uli sa amin.

Dennis, May Bagong Negosyo

2007-03-20T05:47:00.000-07:00

Gusto ni Dennis Trillo na magkaroon ng fallback sakaling di na ito
aktibo sa showbiz kaya nagtayo siya ng negosyo. Kasama niya ang mga
kaibigang sina Katrina Halili, Allan K. Alfred Vargas, Diana Zubiri,
itinayo nila ang Barraks sa may Morato.

"Para itong Pier One na tambayan ng magkakabarkada kapag gustong
gumimik. Nakatakda kaming magbukas after Holy Week," aniya.

Sa kabilang banda, natupad na rin ang pangarap nitong maging isang
recording artist.

Nakalabas na ang kanyang unang CD under Indi Music na pag-aari nina
Regine Velasquez at Ogie Alcasid.

2007-03-17T20:08:00.000-07:00

FROM SWEET TO SEXY – It's truly a radical change for Star Magic artist Roxanne Guinoo, from sweet to sexy. The shy, innocent-looking girl turned into a femme
fatale. But why not? She's already 21 (last Valentine, Feb. 14) and has the curves and sex
appeal.

Carmi Martin, Glydel Mercado, and Lorna Tolentino, among other actresses. Yes, she'll be
riding a white horse on the beach, tempting the guys to drink the liquor product.

Is going sexy her way of "getting even" at ex-boyfriend Joross Gamboa? "Not at all. He has nothing to do with it," Roxanne smiles, admitting the break-up with Joross hurt her considerably. "Pero tapos na `yun, a closed chapter."

Roxanne is the March cover girl of Maxim mag. And is slated to do movies for Star Cinema

Aga Mulach and Angelica Panganiban may Kissing at Love Scene

2007-03-17T19:49:00.000-07:00

Angelica Panganiban in her Rounin costume

Mismong sa direktor ng pelikula ng Star Cinema na I Don't Want You To Go na si Maryo J. delos Reyes ko nakuha ang balita na hindi lamang matitinding kissing scene ang sasabakan ng unang magtatambal na sina Aga Muhlach at Angelica Panganiban kundi mga maiinit ding love scenes.

Dalawang linggo nang kinukunan ang nasabing movie na ang titulo ay tentative lamang bagaman at mabilis ang kanilang trabaho, sinabi ng direktor na wala pa siyang alam kung kailan ito ipalalabas.

First time din ito ni Aga na makakasama sa isang pelikula si Maricel Soriano. Isang all-star cast ang movie na magtatampok din kina Dante Rivero, John Arcilla, TJ Trinidad, Bobby Andrews, Chari Pineda at Baron Geisler.

Rufa Mae to the Max

2007-03-15T07:02:00.000-07:00

"To the highest level!"

Hearing these words will definitely make anyone remember Rufa Mae
Quinto, the sexy, funny, and pretty lady who has been making people
laugh with her crazy antics and childlike mannerisms.

In an industry where everyone tries to secure a place in the
spotlight, Rufa Mae has claimed her own niche in sexy comedy with
her exceptional performances in HP Ibang Level Na! and Bubble Gang .

But she is more than just that.

Unknown to many, this sexy comedienne has always dreamt of being a
dramatic actress. She would love to play a part that allows her to
emotes hard and shed tears. "I miss acting" she says. "Kasi it's my
passion, kahit hindi ako masyadong magaling umarte" she adds with a
hearty laugh.

So when she was chosen by Magpakailanman to play the role of Analyn
Villanueva, a mentally challenged lady who was raped by her
neighbor, Rufa did not waste the opportunity. As she is used to
doing light and amusing sitcoms, she found the role challenging and
demanding, but nevertheless gave her best performance and stayed
focused.

"I think I'm trying my best to be versatile" she says. "Careeer kasi
ako once I do something. Hinihiwalay ko lahat eh. Halimbawa, `pag
Bubble Gang , Bubble Gang ako. Nagwi-wig ako as Bel (a spoof of Mel
Tiongco), inaaral ko `yung angulo niya."

All-Around

Rufa proves her versatility as she also takes on singing, dancing
and hosting. "I used to sing na talaga" she says. In fact, she was a
member of the variety show That's Entertainment , and an avid fan of
Asia's Songbird, Regine Velasquez. "But it's not my passion. I love
singing pero feeling ko hindi naman ganoon kaganda ang boses ko" she
quips. "Feeling ko dati, gusto ko kasing galing ako ni Regine, o mas
magaling pa. Siyempre, `wag naman akong maging addict `di ba, so
sabi ko, ayoko nang maging singer" she casually explains.

She believes that it is through the guidance of the Divine that she
still gets breaks in singing. She has had a number of singing stints
and has held even her own concerts with various musical sensations.

Her singing career is taking off as she releases the singles "Ocean
Deep" and "All This Time", with corresponding music videos directed
by the acclaimed Joyce Bernal and Louie Ignacio respectively.

She is also set to revive of Lani Misalucha's "Tila" and Regine
Velasquez's "Dadalhin", and finally release a compilation of her
hits and music videos in an album in March.

100%

"Serious ako sa trabaho" Rufa Mae claims. This explains why she
always makes sure she gives a hundred percent of her energy in every
project she gets herself into. She goes through meticulous
preparations to get in shape, like engaging in sports, spending time
alone, refraining from talking too much and staying up late and
drinking lots of water.

As projects flow continuously for her, Rufa's career blooms and she
could not be more thankful. Blissful and almost teary-eyed, she
says, "I can't ask for more. Sobrang touched ako."

Rufa Mae is a lovely proof that anything can be achieved through
hard work and perseverance. Bent on continually improving in her
craft, she assures herself and her loved ones of a bright future.

Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo - Luis Manzano / Anne Curtis

2007-03-15T04:35:00.000-07:00

LUIS Manzano's first movie was a trilogy, "All About Love," and he starred in just one episode with Anne Curtis. Their team up was well received by their fans so they're now paired in a full length film, "Ang Cute ng Ina Mo." Although they click so well on screen, they say they've never really been romantically involved in real life.

"We consider each other as soul mates, after knowing one another for seven years, even
before I joined showbiz." says Luis. "We've been so close but we've never been really on,
although we don't discount the possibility na puede pa ring maging kami later on." Anne admits that the first time she saw Luis, she told her friends: "Magiging boylet ko `yan."
"But it never happened," she says. "Or it could, hindi pa lang nangyayari. We don't really
know naman what will happen, di ba?"

In "Cute ng Ina Mo," Anne plays the estranged daughter in the U.S. of Ai Ai de las Alas, who lives in Malabon. After 20 years, Anne's dad still wants to marry Ai Ai even if she abandoned them years ago, so Anne goes to Malabon to find evidence that will show her dad that her biological mom is not worthy of his love. She meets Luis, the "anak-anakan" of Ai Ai, and he helps her discover the good qualities of the mom she hates so much.

The movie is a rollicking comedy from Wenn Deramas, who made Ai Ai's earlier hits, "Tanging Ina" and "Kapag Tumibok Ang Puso." "It also has touching moments of drama about mother and daughter relationships," he adds. Going back to Luis, has he ever told his own mom, the Vilma Santos, that she's cute? "My mom is so makulit," he says. "She's the type who'll enter my room several times just to ask me kung kakain ba ako, kahit sabihin kong busog na ako. She's cute dahil sa kakulitan niya." How does he feel now that his mom is running as Batangas governor? "My mom has so many accomplishments both as an actress and as a public official. I'm confident that she can excel in whatever field or position she chooses to devote her time on."

Fantastic Mark

2007-03-14T22:55:00.000-07:00

TV heartthrob Mark Herras is facing the biggest challenge and biggest break of his career as he portrays the title role of GMA 7’s upcoming TV series "Fantastic Man." This is his mindset after being chosen to play the role popularized by bankable film star Vic Sotto on his 2003 movie of the same name.

In an exclusive interview with the Manila Bulletin last Monday, Mark, just about to pose with his costume for publicity photos, expressed both his excitement and feeling of pressure over what for him is his biggest break yet. "Sobrang pressure ang nararamdaman ko about the role dahil many expectations have to be met. Pero the challenge is as exciting as it is tough. I’ll try my best para mabigyan ko ng justice ‘yung character."

Mark will act both as the superhero and his mortal counterpart Fredo in this series to be shown over GMA-7 hopefully this summer period. He will be surrounded by a stellar cast of young faces and veteran comedians led by Joey Marquez, Benjie Paras, and Kempee De Leon. The so-called "Bad Boy of the Dance Floor" will have Raiza Cenon and Jackie Rice as love interests.

"I’m really confident about this series not because ako si Fantastic Man, kundi dahil I have a great supporting cast and malaki ang trust na binibigay nila sa akin," shared the 20-year-old showbiz hotshot who stormed into stardom after winning the Ultimate Male Survivor title during the first edition of GMA’s Starstruck in 2003.

According to the Starstruck winner, the Fantastic Man series will not be a duplicate of the blockbuster MMFF movie entry. Most of the characters to appear in the series are new, save for Joey Marquez’s Dr. Manalo character who’s also included in the box-office hit. Mark’s Fantasticman will also display additional weapons and powers not featured on Vic Sotto’s version.

Mark, who’s been shooting for the series the past three weeks, matched-up the traits of his hero and alter-ego characters, "Kapag normal na tao ako dito, seryoso ang dating ko. Pero kapag ako na si Fantastic Man, astig na ako!"

He added, "One thing in common about me and Fantastic Man is, I’m one person who’s willing to help if may nangangailangan. Tulad ni Fantastic Man, tumutulong din ako sa ibang tao dahil gusto ko, hindi para magpasikat."

The heart of a Starstruck survivor

Everything kicked off for Mark after he won a few years back the top plum over bestfriend Rainier Castillo during that heavily watched Starstruck final showdown at the Araneta Coliseum. Many observers believe that succeeding Starstruck winners have not enjoyed showbiz success and fame as compared from the first batch winners. Mark does admit he and his batchmates may have that edge being the original, but insisted he never put into his head such detail.

"I think that the big difference is, we didn’t know what to expect then. Hindi namin alam na lahat kami mabibigyan ng contract after the contest. Everything going was new for everyone. Pero I don’t think much whether I was part of the first wave or not. Masaya ako na each year dumadami ang Starstruck family. I’m just proud to be part of it."

Aside from being the original Starstruck winner, along with his erstwhile on-and-off cam girlfriend Jennylyn Mercado, Mark has been prone to facing controversies that in some ways kept him afloat in the news department. The usual culprit is his affairs with the opposite sex. He had been either involved or linked to fellow Starstruck personalities and was even rumored to have videoed Jennylyn while naked in a bathroom.

"Ironically nakatulong sa career ko ‘yung mga controversies. But what I’m thankful for is that, kahit mostly negative ang nadudulot ng mga controversial issues na ‘to, hindi na makitid ang isip ng tao. They now try to understand the why and how of situations."

Mark has previously appeared in GMA’s "Encantadia" and "I Luv NY" series during the past two years. He’s also part of this year’s TV series "Princess Charming."

With TV ratings in consideration, his "Fantastic Man" stint is likely to battle it out with Vhong Navarro’s upcoming superhero series with the other big network.

Angelica Panganiban: Sexy Samurai

2007-02-27T18:52:00.000-08:00

"Immaculate" is how the FHM team describes Angelica Panganiban.
The 20-year-old actress finally graces the cover of FHM (For Him Magazine) this March.
"When Santa Santita was released, I was aware that you were already trying to invite me to pose," says Angelica in her interview with Chrissy Icamina of FHM.
Angel, as showbiz folks would call her, explains, "At the time, though, I felt that Santa Santita was enough to show people that I was ready to take on mature roles. Wala pa sa sistema ko ang mag-pose para sa men's magazine. To me, timing is very important.
"So ngayong ready na ako, si Mr. M [Johnny Manahan] na yung pinag-decide ko. Kung pumayag siya, go ako dahil kaya ko na."
Angel talks candidly about her newfound independence, her love life, and her favorite past time.
SEXY SAMURAI. The FHM team brought Angelica to the beaches of Bohol for the sexy shoot.
While on break, Angelica fiddles with her pen and stares intently at the samurai—the Sudoku Samurai puzzle, that is.
Angel admits that now that she is living alone in her condo unit, she has found ways to entertain herself.
"I count the cars that pass by down the road from my window. And I now know that in Eastwood, 32 cars pass in a span of one minute. I also read a lot, play Sudoku, and watch DVDs," says the quirky Angel.
Living by herself for the past six months, Angelica says she is still trying to learn how to do stuff by herself.
She remarks, "I told my mom that I really needed to do this, to help myself instead of relying on others to help me. She was very supportive and tinulungan pa nga niya ako maghanap ng condo. Paglipat ko, siguro it took me about three days just to fold my clothes and put them all in the cabinet.
"Until now I'm still adjusting."
IT'S COMPLICATED. FHM asked if Angelica is single.
"I think so," she smiles. "Ewan ko, I'm still confused!"
Angel was in a relationship with young actor Carlo Aquino for a long time. They started going out when she was only 13.
She admits that she has learned a lot about love at such a young age. "One of them is to learn to respect yourself. And it's true na dapat talaga mahalin mo muna sarili mo. Kung hindi, magmumukha ka lang ***** sa relationship, kasi okay ka lang nang okay sa lahat ng gusto niyang gawin," asserts Angelica.

Anne Curtis covergirl ng UNO mag

2007-02-26T02:54:00.000-08:00

Muling nag-pose sa mapangahas na pictorial bilang sexy cover girl si Anne Curtis para sa isang men’s magazine.

Ayon sa report, hindi na bago para kay Curtis ang mag-pose na suot lamang ay mga bikini.

Marami umanong natatanggap na alok si Curtis para maging sexy cover sa ibang men’s magazine pero nagustuhan niya ang "high fashion concept" ng magazine na kanyang napili.

Ipinagtataka naman ng marami kung bakit nananatiling single pa rin ang sexy young actress na nagdiwang kamakailan ng kanyang ika-22 na kaarawan.

Sa kaarawan ni Curtis, sinorpresa siya ng non-showbiz na manliligaw na si Erwin Genuino na itinuturing naman ng aktres na isang kaibigan.

“Right now, I’m just happy being alone--but not lonely," pahayag ni Curtis.

Gusto namang tapusin ni Curtis ang isyung nagkakamabutihan sila ni Sam Milby.

“As I’ve said a million times already, we’re just friends,” sabi pa nito.

Hindi pa umano handa si Curtis na pumasok sa isang relasyon kung hindi naman iyon tunay na para sa kanya.

“Hindi na ako makikipag-boyfriend, if he’s not the one na," paliwanag nito.

Ex-lovers Anne Curtis and Oyo Sotto in "Your Song"

2007-02-26T02:46:00.000-08:00

Mukhang tuloy na tuloy na ang muling pagsasama ng ex-couple na sina Anne Curtis at Oyo Sotto sa isang episode ng Your Song ng ABS-CBN.

Pinaplantsa na lang daw ang magiging istorya ng pagsasamahan nina Anne at Oyo. Wala rin daw problema sa dalawang young stars ang pagsasama nila ulit para sa isang project dahil magkaibigan pa rin naman sila hanggang ngayon.

Kung matatandaan ay matagal ding nagkaroon ng relasyon sina Anne at Oyo, pero isang pelikula lang ang pinagsamahan nila—ang Lastikman noong 2003 kung saan bida ang ama ni Oyo na si Vic Sotto.

After mag-break sina Anne at Oyo, na-link sila sa iba't ibang celebrities.

Si Oyo ay na-linked romantically kina Alessandra de Rossi, Nadine Samonte, Iya Villania, at Angel Locsin.

Si Anne naman ay na-link kina Cogie Domingo, Luis Manzano, Paolo Araneta, at ngayon ay sa co-star niya sa Maging Sino Ka Man na si Sam Milby. Nali-link din si Anne kay Erwin Genuino, anak ng PAGCOR Chairman na si Ephraim Genuino, pero close friends lang daw ang dalawa.

Ngayong kapwa loveless sina Anne at Oyo, may mga nagsasabi na baka ma-rediscover ulit nila ang isa't isa. Who knows at baka nga sa ending ay sila pa rin ang magkatuluyan.

Angelica Panganiban: FHM March cover babe

2007-02-26T01:09:00.000-08:00

It’s been a long time coming, this shoot. What took you so long to say yes?
When Santa Santita was released, I was aware that you were already trying to invite me to pose. At the time, though, I felt that Santa Santita was enough to show people that I was ready to take on mature roles. Wala pa sa sistema ko ang mag-pose para sa men’s magazine. To me, timing is very important. So ngayong ready na ako, si Mr. M [Johnny Manahan] na yung pinag-decide ko. Kung pumayag siya, go ako dahil kaya ko na.

Now that you’ve come out of your teenybopper shell with such aplomb, aren’t you afraid of being typecast into sexy roles?
No. Alam ko rin naman na roon na ako papunta—sa lahat ba naman ng mga pinaggagawa ko, ha ha! Pero just as long as there’s no nudity. Although personally, if it were up to me, this would be my last appearance in a men’s magazine.

Do you feel pressured to maintain a certain image?
Actually hindi kasi mas nahirapan akong gawin yun nung bata pa ako. Especially at the time na karamihan ng followers ko mga bata rin. Dapat lahat talaga ng mga kilos ko maayos.

So, you can now admit to having a crazy side?
Oo, baliw talaga ako, sobra, ha ha! Lumabas na siya ngayon! Makulit ako at sobrang gulo kasi halos lahat ng friends ko bading. Nahahawa tuloy ako sa pagiging maingay at magulo nila. Sometimes, I even talk like them when I’m being interviewed on television.

Angel Locsin to remake Vilma Santos's role in "Relasyon"

2007-02-20T18:26:00.000-08:00

Si Angel Locsin ang gaganap sa role na ginampanan ng Star For All Seasons na si Vilma Santos sa remake ng classic movie na Relasyon (1982).

Vilma's role as a mistress won for her the first-ever grand slam acting award for an actress in a lead role. Directed by the late Ishmael Bernal and written by Ricky Lee, Relasyon also starred Christopher de Leon as Vilma's lover and the late Jimi Melendez (father of Aiko Melendez) as Vilma's suitor.

Isa ang Relasyon sa mga Regal movies na balak sanang bilhin ng ABS-CBN para gawing soap opera. But Regal Entertainment has decided to do a remake instead, with Angel reprising Vilma's award-winning role.

Regal is also eyeing Aga Muhlach to play Boyet's role. Dito sa remake ay balitang mas mahaba ang exposure ng role ng lalaki kaysa sa original movie.

Balitang mas hahabaan din ang papel ng magiging asawa ni Aga, if he do accept the project, sa pelikula. In the original movie, dalawang beses lang ipinakita ang asawa ni Boyet, once sa ospital and the other sa libing, dahil umiikot nga ang kuwento sa point of view ng kabit ng lalaki.

Raquel Villavicencio is doing the script with Joel Lamangan as the director.

Balita ring makikipag-tie up ang Regal Entertainment with Star Cinema to get the services of Aga, being an exclusive contract artist of the film arm of ABS-CBN. Puwede itong magawa without the cooperation of GMA Films this time dahil although exclusive si Angel sa GMA Network for TV assignments, she is under contract with Regal Films pagdating sa pelikula.

Kung saka-sakaling matuloy ang pagre-remake ng Relasyon, napakalaking pressure nito for Angel dahil masyadong identified ang role na ito kay Vilma. Idagdag pa rito ang katotohanang this was the role that made Vilma the first-ever grand slam best actress winner.

Dennis Trillo : All Out Of Love

2007-02-16T19:06:00.000-08:00

Ilo-launch sa SOP sa February 25 ang first single release ng debut

album ni ng Dennis Trillong na "All Out of Love," original ng Air
Supplyo at ginamit sa TVC ng napkin endorsement ng actor at ex-
girlfriend ni Derek Ramsey. Sa March 11 naman ang official launch ng
album under Indi Music nina Regine Velasquez, Leo Dominguez at Ogie
Alcasid.

Dapat, March 5 ang launching, kaya lang sa Bacolod gagawin ang SOP
at no choice ang mga producer kundi i-move sa ibang petsa ang
special occasion sa buhay ng actor. Bago pa man ang launching ng
single at album, tumutugtog na sa radio ang first single at maganda
ang pagtanggap ng listeners.

Tagalog at English songs ang nakapaloob sa 11-track album at kasama
ang revival ng "Love Is All That Matters." May duet din si Dennis at
Regine, ang "Magtatagpong Muli" na nagbigay ng matinding nerbyos sa
actor dahil Asia's Songbird ang ka-duet niya.

Samantala, sobrang happy si Dennis sa mataas na rating ng Super
Twins sa Monday at Tuesday episode. Obvious na na-miss siya ng
primetime viewers dahil kahit naka-maskara siya ay sinusubaybayan pa
rin.

A US vacation for Richard

2007-02-14T21:02:00.000-08:00

RICHARD Gutierrez is leaving on February 17, after the opening of his “The Promise” on Valentine’s Day, for a well-deserved vacation in the States. “After taping for ‘Captain Barbell’ almost every day for eight months, then shooting ‘Mano Po 5’ and ‘The Promise,’ I feel I’m really entitled to take a rest,” he says.

He’s going with his parents and brother Elvis to L.A. then to New York City. He’s excited as it’s his first trip to the Big Apple. “Lagi lang kami sa West Coast so going to the East Coast is something new to me. Kaya lang, sobra raw ang lamig ng winter doon ngayon.”

Upon his return, Richard will go back to work for his new show, “Lupin,” where he is paired with Katrina Halili, Rhian Ramos, Ehra Madrigal plus another new girl whose identity is still a mystery. For “Lupin,” GMA-7 is getting him his own stylist who will look after look his wardrobe and hair style.

Richard is confident that his Valentine movie with Angel Locsin, “The Promise,” will be a big hit. “We both gave it my best,” he says. “This is my most dramatic film so far and I even have a breakdown scene na talagang pinag-aralan ko muna nang husto before we shot it.”

Robin's daughters idolize Angel

Aalis si Robin Padilla at ihahatid ang dalawang anak na sina Queenie (14 yrs. old) at Kyle (13 years old) sa Thailand para mag-aral ng Muay Thai. Kasama rin nila si Mommy Eva na makakasama ng dalawang bata habang nag-aaral ito roon. Tatlong araw naman ang ilalagi ni Binoe at uuwi rin agad dahil nagti-taping ito ng Asian Treasures.

Sa March 11 ay aalis sina Angel Locsin at Binoe patungong Thailand, Mongolia at China para mag-taping. Isang buwan silang mananatili run.

Fan na fan pala ni Angel sina Queenie at Kyle at kapag nanonood sila ng taping ay pinapalakpakan nila ang aktres pagkatapos ng mga eksena.

Sinabi ni Binoe, malambot ang lips ng aktres at saludo siya sa galing nito sa maaksyong eksena dahil malakas ang loob sa mga stunts.

Binigyan ba ni Binoe ng Valentine’s gifts si Angel?

"Ba’t ko siya bibigyan ng regalo wala naman kaming relasyon? Gusto ba ako ni Angel?" tanong ng aktor.

Robin Padilla naaasiwang makipaghalikan kay Angel

2007-02-14T20:40:00.000-08:00

ADJUSTED na sa mga fight scenes, pero hindi pa rin adjusted si Robin Padilla sa romantic scenes niya with Angel Locsin.

Mauunang aalis bukas si Binoe papuntang Thailand pa-ra samahan ang dalawang anak na sina Queenie at Kyle dahil magti-training sila ng Muay Thai and Kendo.

March 15 pa susu-nod ang co-stars ni Ro-bin na sina Angel, Marvin Agustin, Dia-na Zubiri and Jaime Fabregas and the production staff of their top-rating Asian Treasures sa GMA TeleBabad after 24 Oras. Sa Bangkok sila magku-converge.

So far, nakakadalawang kissing scenes na pala sila ni Angel sa Asian Treasures at ayon kay Binoe, masarap at malambot daw ang labi nito. Kaya lang, hindi manliligaw si Binoe kay Angel ka-hit alam niyang single ito ngayon.

Naaalangan si Binoe kay Angel dahil bata ang turing ni-ya rito. Minsan nga raw, nakita pa niya si Angel together with Marky Cielo na naglalaro ng patintero sa taping nila.

Nahihiya naman siyang makipaglaro. Ha-ha-ha!

FHM's wish list

2007-01-27T17:20:00.000-08:00

Angel Locsin and Katrina Halili together on the cover also makes the list.

Cristine Reyes is one of the most sought-after female stars being eyed to grace the covers of men's magazines. The Philippine's number one men's magazine, FHM, is no exception.

FHM (For Him Magazine) editor-in-chief Allan Madrilejos gave PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) his wish list of cover girls. Allan mentioned Ara Mina's younger sister, Cristine Reyes, first.

"Si Cristine kasi, una, matagal na siyang inaabangan. Eto yung mga sobrang lakas na yung following nila. Sa website pa lang, ang hahaba na nung debate kung kelan. Yung hotness niya medyo kilala e. Mataas yung level," says Allan.

If Cristine agrees to pose for FHM, this will be only the second time she will do a sexy photo shoot. Cristine was one of the featured stars in the 2006 calendar of GMA-7's Artist Center. In that sexy photo shoot, Cristine was joined by co-Artist Center talent Katrina Halili, where both of them were only wearing two-piece bikinis.

SEXY TWOSOMES. FHM is also planning to come up with an explosive duo for the magazine by having both Angel Locsin and Katrina Halili on one cover. The two were hailed as FHM's Sexiest in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Allan says, "Mga concept na tipong Angel and Katrina magkasama. Naging sexiest yung dalawang yan. Minsan lang hinahanap na may gawin kang iba. Isipin mo treat din ‘yan para sa mga mambabasa mo, yung mapagsama mo sila sa isang cover. 'Pag bida si Angel, ang effective na kontrabida si Katrina. Mayroon silang relationship na parang masarap i-explore at ipakita sa isang pictorial."

Also in FHM's list are models Nicole Hernandez and Kelly Misa.

"Taon-taon ‘pag may 100 Sexiest [Women], lagi silang nandun. Taon-taon, hindi sila uma-attend ng iba nating events. Mapapansin mo ‘pag lumalabas yung pictures nila, ang lakas talaga ng sigawan. Meron silang hatak among the boys and gentlemen na sumusubaybay sa FHM. Worth a try naman. Pasok naman sila sa panlasa ng buong FHM," says Allan about the two models.

THE FUTURE. Other personalities who made it to FHM's wish list are Ryza Cenon, Jean Garcia, Angelica Panganiban, Mojofly lead vocalist Lougee, and sisters Ehra and Michelle Madrigal.

Allan explains what it takes to be on the magazine cover: "Kailangan ang lakas talaga nung sexy factor, na pwede siyang pag-usapan. Kunwari, pwede kang pag-usapan sa website lang. Ang appeal niya, kailangang malaki. Hindi rin biro ang maging FHM cover. Kailangan maganda din yung pagpili at nasa timing din."

He also adds, "Definitely yung choices, varied. Different range of sexiness. Di tayo confined lang sa young stars. Yun naman ang gusto nating i-develop. Well-rounded ang FHM cover babes. Medyo top of mind 'yan na maaaring matrabaho namin this year."

Everything is still on the drawing board, with 2007 just getting started. Whether or not they appear on your magazine cover, you can still expect another sexy year with FHM!

YENG CONSTANTINO, lumalaki nga ba ang ulo?

2007-01-24T17:04:00.000-08:00

FEELING sikat kaagad itong si Yeng something.

Maraming kuwentu-kuwento tungkol sa Pinoy Dream Academy winner na si
Yeng something tungkol sa attitude nito lately. And basing from
the way she acted in her recent gues-ting at Kris Aquino's game
show, mukhang totoo nga ang mga tsismis.

Sa totoo, dominante siya at mukhang pumasok na nga sa kanyang kokote
ang kasikatan kunong dulot sa kanya ng PDA.

Dahil mayabang, ang laki na ng offer ni banker (almosta cool half a
million pesos), deadma pa rin siya at panay ang no deal tienes.

Ang ending, nabuksan niya ang P4 million kaya biglang bagsak ang
offer ni banker.

Ha-ha-ha!

Hindi talaga mai-drawing ang fez ni Yeng something, forcing the
outspoken Tetay to comment na nanalo raw sa PDA ang alaga ni Direk
Joey Reyes dahil ito ang pinaka-talented doon.

Pero, ang nananalo raw sa game show nila ay `yung masusuwerte.
Period. You hit the nail right on its head, girl. Ha-ha-ha!

Katrina Halili sugar mommy ni Mark Herras?

2007-01-22T19:41:00.000-08:00

Tsipangga talaga ang orientation nitong si Mark Herras pagdating sa
pa-kikipagrelasyon sa mga babae.

Kung nagka-culture shock (culture shock daw, o! Ha! Ha! Ha!) ang
makunat na aktor sa karelasyong si Nicole Anderson dahil sa sosing
lifestyle nito na hindi niya ma-feel at di siya maka-relate, ngayon
naman ay ang part-time girlfriend niyang si Katrina Halili ang
nalolowkah dahil feel siyang gawing batang-batang sugar mommy ng
StarStruck boy.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Kapag lumalabas raw kasi sila, wah feel ni nat-makung Mark Herras
ang mag-foot ng bill. According to Katrina herself, the guy prefers
Dutch treat (KKB as in kanya-kanyang bayad). Ha! Ha! Ha!

Hindi kaya nagkaroon siya ng mga claving na karelasyon nu'ng high
school pa siya kaya sanay siyang nililibre?

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Kunsabagay, kahit sa relasyon naman nila ni Jennylyn Mercado, parang
vaklita rin daw ang alaga ni Becky Aguila dahil ito ang give nang
give at lagi na'y nasa receiving end ang feeling God's gift to women
na si Mark.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

At any rate, going back to Katrina, true bang she prefers DOMsna
lang daw dahil mas solicitous at caring ang mga ito kaysa sa mga
bagets na aktor na ang gusto'y sila ang bigyan at alagaan?

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Ayaw ni Popsicle Fernandez ng ganyan. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Relasyong Pauleen-Marvin saan mapupunta?

2007-01-22T19:17:00.000-08:00

Emosyonal din si Pauleen Luna nang mag-guest siya sa Startalk nu'ng
Sabado.

Aminado siyang may problema sila ni Marvin Agustin at mukhang
matutuloy sa paghihiwalay ang kanilang relasyon.

Dumating na sa puntong puno na ang magulang ni Pauleen kay Marvin
dahil sa mga nakita nilang hindi magandang pakikitungo nito kay
Pauleen.

Hindi ito naitago sa ina ni Pauleen dahil hawak na nito ngayon ang
cellphone ng young actress.

Hinihigpitan na nila ito ngayon kay Marvin at ang huling narinig ko,
mismong ang ama na ni Pauleen ang nakiusap sa young actress na
hiwalayan na ang aktor.

"Mas pinapaniwalaan ko ang mother's instinct at alam kong hindi
nararapat si Marvin sa anak namin. Pinagbigyan ko rin naman sila
noon at pinapakisamahan namin siya nang husto, pero napuno na ako
dahil hindi ko na gusto ang nakikita ko," pahayag ng mommy ni
Pauleen.

Maraming mga bagay na ngayon na nakikita ang ina ni Pauleen kay
Marvin na hindi nito nagustuhan.

Matagal na raw niya itong pinapalagpas at hinahayaan na munang
makita ito ng kanyang anak. Ngunit mukhang nabulagan na ang dalaga
kaya nagdesisyon na ang magulang ni Pauleen na ilayo ito kay Marvin.

"Alam kong mabait si Pauleen na anak at kami pa rin ang pipiliin
niya. Alam kong paninindigan pa rin niya na ang priority niya sa
buhay ay ang Diyos, ang pamilya niya at ang career," patuloy ng
Mommy ni Pauleen.

Kahit masakit sa young actress ang makipaghiwalay kay Marvin,
kailangan niya itong gawin para sa kanyang pamilya.

Mother knows best!

Richard Gutierrez and Angel Locsin play their first mature roles

2007-01-12T21:42:00.000-08:00

Handa na sina Richard Gutierrez at Angel Locsin para sa kanilang
kauna-unahang mature roles sa pelikulang The Promise.

The Promise is jointly produced again by Regal Films and GMA Films—
the same tandem that gave us the last two years' hit Valentine
movies, Let The Love Begin and I Will Always Love You, na sina
Richard and Angel din ang mga bida. This time, The Promise will
actually be shown on Valentine's Day, February 14.

The Promise is a loose remake of Reyna Films' Hihintayin Kita Sa
Langit (1991) of Carlos Siguion-Reyna, starring Richard Gomez and
Dawn Zulueta. Raquel Villavicencio, scriptwriter for both movies,
disclosed na mas malapit sa novel ni Emily Bronte na Wuthering
Heights ang The Promise kaysa sa Hihintayin Kita Sa Langit.

Ayon kay Raquel, Hihintayin Kita Sa Langit kasi is nearer to the
1939 film version that starred Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon,
playing Heathcliff and Catherine, the novel's original character
names.

Mike Tuviera—the man behind TXT and the "LRT-2" episode of Shake,
Rattle & Roll 8—is the director of The Promise, to be shot in
several parts of the country, including Bolinao in Pangasinan,
Cavite, and Laguna.

Pinabata lang ni Raquel ang mga bidang characters to suit the age of
Richard and Angel. The award-winning scriptwriter, however, stresses
that this will be the first time na gaganap ng mature roles ang
dalawa sa pinakasikat na young stars sa kasalukuyan.

Sa first trailer pa lang shown in a mini-press con with the
publicists and editors, hitik na ang halikan ng dalawang bida. In
one scene pa nga, Richard is just in his maong pants while talking
to Rhian Ramos—one of Richard's leading ladies in Captain Barbell.

Hindi pa rin daw tapos ang principal photography ng The Promise, so
hindi pa nakukunan ang isang love scene na gagawin nina Richard and
Angel. Although PG-13 ang rating na inaasahan ng pelikula, expected
na rin daw nina Richard and Angel that their love scene here will be
more than what they did in their past movies and TV shows together.
Pareho na raw silang handa para rito.

The Promise also stars TJ Trinidad, Ryan Eigenmann, and Raquel
Villaviciencio herself as TJ and Rhian's mother.

Teen stars, nagpapatalbugan sa kaseksihan!

2007-01-09T23:51:00.000-08:00

Kung sa 2006 ay nagpatalbugan ang mga teen stars sa pagpapa-sexy sa mga men’s magazines, ngayon naman ay sa calendars at commercials ng alcoholic drinks naman ang laban.

Lumabas na si Katrina Halili bilang endorser ng Tanduay. At ngayon naman ay pumabilang na si Roxanne Guinoo sa mga White Castle Girls. Tulad ng mga nauna sa kaniya, seksing pulang bikini ang isinuot ni Roxanne sa pictorial.

Si Roxanne ang napili mula sa maraming mga artista at modelong dumalo sa go-see ng produkto.

“She typifies yung aming White Castle Girl,” paliwanag ni Olivia Limpe-Aw, ang presidente ng Destileria Limtuaco. “In the past, meron tayong mga White Castle Girls tulad nina Carmi Martin, Christina Gonzales, ni Miss Lorna Tolentino, Glydel Mercado. Sila yung mga nice young girls that dared to go a bit sexy. They’re daring but not overboard.”

Ito ang unang pagkakataon na nagpa-sexy ang teen star. At sa mga litrato ng aktres na makikita ng publiko, ipinakita ni Roxanne na hindi na kailangang retokihin ang kaniyang sexy photos dahil labas na ang kaniyang kaseksihan.

“She did what she had to do. She took directions from the photographer very well,” dagdag pa ni Miss Limpe-Aw.

At si Jennylyn Mercado, hindi rin magpapahuli sa pagpapa-sexy sa kalendaryo. Pagkatapos niyang maging cover ng isang men’s magazine, isang sexy na Jennylyn ang bumulaga sa 2007 planner ng GMA Artist Center. Ipinakita ng young actress na pwede na siyang tumanggap ng mas mature na roles sa pelikula at sa telebisyon.

Isa si Jennylyn sa mga artista ng Artist Center na nanggulat sa kakaibang pictorial na ginawa nila.

“Happy ako kasi maganda yung kinilabasan ng pictorial,” pasimula ni Jen. “Na-amaze ako (sa kinalabasan ng pictorial). Ako ba ‘yan? Pinakita ko nga sa friends ko, (at) hindi nila (ako) namukhaan.”

Ely Buendia in ICU for a heart attack

2007-01-09T17:23:00.000-08:00

SINGER-SONGWRITER Ely Buendia, 36-year-old front man for the rock band Pupil, was rushed to the hospital on Sunday after suffering a heart attack.

He was given an emergency angioplasty to treat two arterial blockages on Sunday night.

"He's now conscious. He's okay. His vital signs are stabilizing, but he is still under observation," Pupil manager Day Cabuhat told the Inquirer.

Buendia is now in the intensive care unit of a leading hospital.

According to Cabuhat, the doctors speculated that Buendia suffered the heart attack while performing onstage with Pupil in a gig in Laguna.

Buendia used to be the leader of the seminal '90s band Eraserheads, which disbanded in 2002.

Chuchay pinagdududahan ang pag-alis sa Eat Bulaga

2007-01-08T22:11:00.000-08:00

Health reason ang ibinigay na dahilan ni Gladys Guevarra sa
resignation letter sa Eat Bulaga last Friday.

Hindi na ito nag-elaborate at 'di na rin nagtanong si Malou Choa-
Fagar at ang Tape, Inc. at tinanggap na lang ang pagbibitiw nito.

May mga hindi naniniwala sa rason ni Gladys, lalo't tumanggap siya
ng show sa GMA-7. Paano raw siya makapagpapahinga kung magti-taping
siya ng Magic Kamison?

Kaya ang press, dinidiskubre ang mas malalim na dahilan ng move ni
Gladys, gaya ng kung may nakaaway ito sa hosts ng show o kung may
iniiwasan.

Hopefully, hindi niya ititigil ang pagkanta dahil marami ang makaka-
miss kay Chuchay (isa sa pinasikat niyang characters).

KC, Lino seen at Bora!

2007-01-08T00:11:00.000-08:00

KC and Lino are now a couple! And while KC and Lino were vacationing in Boracay, Bianca was also there! A reliable PEP mole adds, “Bianca is really hurting and is still texting Lino."

It was PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) which first broke the story that KC Concepcion and Lino Cayetano were seen having lunch at Sonya’s Garden last December 22. At the time, everything was up in the air. Were they there as accidental tourists? Working on a commercial shoot together? Or on a proper date?

PEP also reported, however, that the two were seen holding hands on their way out of Sonya's Garden.

KC is, of course, the beautiful lady who is top choice among young celebs for product endorsements and lifestyle/showbiz pictorials and interviews.

She also happens to be the eldest daughter of Sharon Cuneta, who is arguably the country's top female endorser and a star for the last 29 years, and of Gabby Concepcion, once a top matinee idol in local showbiz and now a real-estate broker in California, USA.

Based in France for the last three years, KC is on the last year of her corporate communications course at the American University in Paris. She is currently home for the holidays.

Lino is himself a celebrity. Born to a family of politicians, his sister Pia is currently a Philippine senator, and his father Rene was also a senator.

This is the father to whom Lino donated his kidney at a time the family believed this could give their patriarch a fighting chance against stomach cancer. When he died in 2003, Senator Rene Cayetano was honored with ceremonial burial services in the halls of the Senate.

A director, the handsome Lino's most recent assignments are "Blusang Itim," an episode in ABS-CBN's fantasy series Komiks, and Calla Lily, a soap from the same network.

In brief, KC and Lino are major local celebs. And them getting together for a lunch date is news.

Now, PEP brings you another scoop.

Maria Kristina Cassandra Cuneta Concepcion, 21, and Lino Edgardo Schramm Cayetano, 29, are now an item!

A PEP regular mole swears that the two just spent a nice, if brief, vacation at the popular Visayas island resort of Boracay.

If the two high-profile celebs can be mistaken for casual friends who happen to meet up at Sonya’s Garden for lunch, then a Boracay trip together—which has to be planned, booked, and worked into KC’s very tight schedule and Lino's own—can neither be accidental nor casual.

The Boracay vacation, more than just a date, had to be prearranged.

BIANCA GONZALEZ. It has been a couple of months since Lino, who has kept a low profile even in showbiz, and Bianca Gonzalez, a budding TV host-endorser, were reported to be mending their broken romance.

It might be remembered that Bianca and Lino, who were officially a couple when Bianca joined the reality TV show Pinoy Big Brother, had a lovers’ quarrel over Bianca’s closeness to PBB housemate Zanjoe Marudo through the period of February 5 - April 1 of 2006.

Right after Bianca left the PBB house, however, she cut all ties with Zanjoe, clearly ignoring him wherever they met, including at Boracay last summer.

Last December 10, The Buzz reported that Bianca and Lino had broken up. But no confirmation or denial was ever heard from the two.

Now comes this news: KC and Lino are now a couple! And while KC and Lino were vacationing in Boracay, Bianca was also there!

The PEP mole adds, “Bianca is really hurting and is still texting Lino."

SHARON CUNETA. While Lino told The Buzz yesterday, January 7, by text message: “I like her a lot… And I think napakaganda, napakatalino, and talented niyang tao"—that is as far as he has gone to answer inquiries about KC.

Meantime, PEP’s reliable mole says that KC's mom would rather have Lino announce the status of his relationship with her daughter. The mole explains that Sharon believes the proper way is for Lino to be the first to admit the relationship, not her daughter KC.

A PEP staffer, who is a long-time friend of Lino, succeeds in reaching the Man of the Hour by cell phone this afternoon. The text goes: “If you wanna say something, I’m just a text away."

Known as a private person, Lino manages to text back: “Thanks for the heads up. :-) Quiet na muna ako dito. Pero salamat sa text, hehe. :-)"

2007-01-07T22:20:00.000-08:00

Magdaraos na ng kanyang debut si Yasmien Kurdi kaya excited na siya
pero hindi bongga ang magiging selebrasyon. Mas type niyang mag-
swimming party na lang kasama ang mga malalapit na kaibigan.

Maganda ang takbo ng career ngayon ni Yasmien dahil nakilala siya nang
husto sa Bakekang. Dito niya naipamalas na may ibubuga talaga siya sa
akting laluna sa drama.

Natupad na rin nito ang pinakamahalagang regalo sa kaarawan at ito ang
pagkakaroon ng second album. First love niya ang singing at enjoy
kapag kumakanta.

Angel Locsin confirms breakup with Oyo Sotto

2007-01-05T22:54:00.000-08:00

Angel Locsin has tearfully confirmed her breakup with boyfriend Oyo Boy Sotto, a report posted on Sunday at the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) website said.

Locsin made her admission during her launch as celebrity endorser for the Belo Medical Group on December 28.

The report said that Angel was first silent when GMA’s on-camera interviewer Butch Francisco asked her about the status of her relationship with Sotto.

"Cool-off ba? (Has the relationship cooled off?)" Francisco asked.

In tears, Angel shook her head slightly. But when Francisco asked: "Tapos na nga ba? (Is it really over?)" Angel nodded and gave a short comment, "Ang hirap sagutin (That's a difficult question)."

According to a report from GMA's S Files showbiz talk show on Sunday, there were two possible reasons for the breakup: Sotto’s alleged relationship with Enteng Kabisote 3 fellow cast member Bing Loyzaga and Locsin's ties with Asian Treasures co-star Robin Padilla. -

Glaiza de Castro copycat of Angel Locsin?

2007-01-04T20:41:00.000-08:00

Glaiza has a meaty role in GMA-7 teleserye Asian Treasures to be launched on January 15.

People often mistake Glaiza de Castro for Angel Locsin. They have the same chinita eyes and wide smile, and they can really pass for sisters. PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked Glaiza how she feels whenever people make the mistake.

Smiling, she said: "Hindi naman ako nai-intimidate. Dati halos lahat ng makasalubong ko, sasabihin 'Angel, hi!' Hindi ko alam kung i-ignore ko ‘to o magpapanggap ako na Angel kasi kung minsan sasabihin nila ‘Hi, Angel.'"

During the interview last December 29, Glaiza said, "Ngayon medyo naa-identify naman ako."

Hopefully, even more people will be able to identify Glaiza as Glaiza with her participation in the soon-to-be launched TV series of GMA-7. "We're launching Asian Treasures. I'm looking forward to that. Ako si Clara, yung sister ni Robin [Padilla]. Magaling ako sa history tsaka geography. Yun yung magko-connect. Isa sa mga paraan para mahanap yung Asian Treasures.

"Asian Treasures is a big chance talaga para malaman ng tao na hindi ako si Angel. May iba akong personalidad na ako si Glaiza."

She recently became part of the Metro Manila Film Festival entry Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah Ze Moveeh from Regal Entertainment. The 18-year-old actress played the role of Dina B., one of the Amazonistas of Queen Femina (played by Pops Fernandez).

"Hindi na rin naman sa akin bago to play kontrabida roles. This time may nostalgic effect dahil si Dina B. ako e. We get to imitate yung mga galaw nila.

"Exciting kasi you get to wear designer's clothes na hindi mo talaga sinusuot sa karaniwang okasyon. You feel very beautiful."

When asked how she prepared for the role, Glaiza recounted: "We have training for wushu, na hindi rin namin masyadong nagamit. Better na rin marunong kaming mag-wushu. Hindi naman masyadong mahirap. It's a bit more challenging."

Glaiza has appeared in several movies this year including Manay Po, Twilight Dancers, White Lady, Sukob, and Pacquiao: The Movie.

ASPIRING THESPIAN. Asked about her other plans, Glaiza said, "I'd like to try lahat. I like to try theater because I've never done theater. Hindi naman ako magju-jump ng malaking step para ipakita sa kanila na eto, kaya ko ‘to."

PEP also asked whether she was planning to pose for a men's magazine. She said: "I'm thinking of it right now kasi may offer na ako to pose for a men's magazine."

With her busy career, Glaiza is not thinking at all about her love life. "Wala. Zero. Ayoko pa e. Gusto ko munang mag-concentrate sa career ko. Maghihintay naman yan e. May mga lumalapit e pero sabi ko hintay muna."

Glaiza was "discovered" during an audition for Viva Entertainment several years back. By a sudden twist of fate, she ended up signing a contract with Regal Films. She then became a regular in several TV shows such as Berks, Spirits, Master Showman, and Fanstastikids.

Glaiza is currently being managed by Manny Valera.

Jennylyn, nagpaayos ng boobs

2007-01-03T07:49:00.000-08:00

Kung totoo man ang balitang nagpagawa ng kanyang upper `bumpers' si
Jennylyn Mercado, aba, okey `yon dahil bumagay sa kanyang beauty ang
bagong size ng mga `yon.

Lalong gumanda si Jennylyn nang makita namin sa New Year's
presentation ng S.O.P. noong Linggo sa Rajah Sulayman Park.

Kitang-kita ang cleavage ni Jennylyn sa suot niya, huh!

Kahit hindi kami mahilig sa boobs, na-appreciate namin ang boobs ni
Jennylyn.

Biniro namin si Mark Herras tungkol sa upper bumpers ng ex-
girlfriend, pero natawa lang ang binata.

"No comment po ako pagdating diyan, Kuya Jun," sey sa amin ni Mark.

Isang malapit sa young actress/singer ang umamin sa amin na may
pagbabago sa boobs ni Jennylyn, pero quiet na lang ito.

Sey namin sa taong `yon, dapat payuhan niya si Jennylyn na huwag
nang i-deny pa ang tungkol sa bagong size ng boobs nito dahil
maganda ang pagkakagawa.

Nadine Samonte, tsutsugihin na sa Bakekang

2007-01-03T07:23:00.000-08:00

Puspusan na ang pagti-taping ng Super Twins na bida si Nadine Samonte.
Lagare nga si Nadine sa taping ng Bakekang, kaya hilong-talilong din
ang drama ng dalaga.

Kaya naman unti-unti nang nireremedyuhan ng writers ng Bakekang ang
gagawin sa character ni Nadine. Ang balita namin, either papupuntahin
sa States si Nadine sa pag-alis niya sa Bakekang o di kaya ay patayin
ang character niya.

Anuman ang gawin sa katauhan ni Nadine sa Bakekang, naging maganda rin
ang exposure niya sa series lalo na't sinasabing mas bagay siyang
Kristal kesa kay Lovi, huh!

speaking of Super Twins kapareha ito ng costume ni jen... oh well!

Rainier Castillo, di type si Stef Prescott ng Starstruck 4

2007-01-03T06:51:00.000-08:00

Itinanggi ni Rainier Castillo ang isyung nililigawan niya ang isang
taga-Starstruck 4 na si Stef Prescott.

Nagkasama lang daw sila sa taping ng Maynila at naipakilala ito sa
kanya. Pagkatapos ng taping ay nag-text lang daw sila sa isa't isa
pero walang ligawang nangyari.

Umiiling si Rainier nang tinanong namin itong type ba niya at balak
ligawan si Stef. Maaaring gawa-gawa lang daw iyun ng ilang gustong
mapag-usapan si Stef.

Maganda naman daw itong bagets na taga-La Union pero wala raw sa isip
niyang ligawan ito.

Mark Herras na-trauma sa starlet na girlfriend

2007-01-03T06:27:00.000-08:00

Well, dear, ang talipapa boy na si Mark Herras ay na-shock ever
dahil na-traumatize sa sosing lifestyle ng sosyalerang si Nicole
Anderson.

Nasanay na kasi siya sa squatteric beauty ni Jennylyn Mercado na
isaw lang at lugaw ay solved na, nagkaroon siya ng culture shock
(with his enormous earning capacity, huh?) nang maging dyowa niya si
Nicole Anderson at dalhin siya nito sa mga de klaseng lugar na ang
karaniwang payzung nila ay P5 to 10 thou.

Ang ending, give-up kaagad si Talipapa boy (na Madam Curie namang
tunay at nasanay siguro sa mga vaklitas na sila ang may-I-spend sa
kanya) dahil tumatayo at nanga-ngalisag ang kanyang balahibo (hindi
ang nota, ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!) sa laki ng kanyang expenses.

Of course, on the starlet's side, defensive naturalmente siya. Hindi
naman daw true na niyayaya niya sa mga expensive venues ang baduy
ang taste na si Mark. Talaga lang daw sigurong they are not meant
for each other tienes.

Mang-charot ba? Ha! Ha! Ha!

Tell that to the marines and they won't even believe you. Ha! Ha!
Ha! At any rate, mahihirapan na sigurong makahanap ng tulad ni
Jennylyn Mercado si Mark baby na mababaw lang ang kaligayahan.

Palibhasa'y galing din sa hirap (maniniwala ba kayong dati-rati'y sa
Jollibee naghihilamos si Mercado at doon na rin nagsi-CR? Panahon
ito ng kanyang pangdarahop at pagiging veritable starlet), it's so
easy to please Jennylyn. One thing na hindi niya magawa kay Nicole A.

`Yun na. Ha! Ha! Ha!

ABS-CBN's ROUNIN

2006-12-28T18:56:00.000-08:00

It started with a long time fascination. Creator Philipp King who has brainstormed for Crazy for You, and has written for Komiks, Love Spell and ASAP shares "Guilty Pleasure ko yung mga anime kasi i like the way they tell stories, the look, yung pagiging action packed, makulay at saka out of this world talaga."

He pitched the idea of an anime inspired teleserye to created manager Rondell Lindayag and ABS-CBN Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal who both agreed that the concept had real possibilities. "Na-approve tapos dire-diretso na and then we noticed na yung level ng special effects, the way we were writing it, we thought na baka hindi namin mapanindigan. Naging line production sya nila Direk Erik Matti, Don Don Monteverde, Reality Pictures and Larger than Life."

"Rounin" or "Ronin" is the japanese term for "masterless warrior." "Sa Japan, nung time ng mga warlords, may in-assasinate na isang warlord tapos yung 12 samurais niya pinaghiganti yung master nila, sumugod sila sa castle ng kalaban tapos ang dami nila napatay pero nahuli sila in the end. Sila lang yung grupong pinayagang mag-harakiri (honorable death by suicide). Iisipin mo masama siya dahil masterless warrior pero very honorable actually kasi they did everything for their master."

In the series, an elite team of warriors (Luis Manzano, Angelica Panganiban, Nikki Gil, Jhong Hilario and Rafael Rosell) are tasked to protect the city of Lumeria againts the city of Helion, the city of death. Each Rounin specializes in a certain martial art and is commanded by a master rounin, the ruler of Lumeria (Diether Ocampo). As the Story goes along, when the need for new rounin arises, ang papalit ay sina Rayver Cruz and Joross Gamboa". Who's going to die among the five original warriors? "Spoiler pag ni-reveal ko!" King smiles.

The show will come out on the second quarter of 2007. Production deliberately took its time, making sure that the preparations that went into the project won't go to waste. Then the forces of nature had a hand in the project, causing its delays. "Technically, nauna pa ito kaysa sa Komiks eh. Tapos diba remember we had a series of storms? May isang instance na they were supposed to destroy the set for an important scene but the day before bumagyo kaya kailangan nila i-rebuild yung set para sirain lang ulit."

King describes the special effects as "ASTIG". "Parang pag naglalaro ka ng computer, pag sinuntok yung lupa, tatalsik talaga. O kaya habang nag-aaway tayo, magiging amber yung kamay ko, hanggang sa lumabas yung apoy talaga. Hindi siya yung parang simpleng magic lang. It is akin to ones seen in Final Fantasy while recalling some of the tricks employed in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. "May scenes na may pagka crouching tiger, yung isa lumilipad sila sa ere, espadahan sila. May isang eksena naman na maghahalikan lang yung dalawang tao (Luis and Angelica), tumalon pa sila sa ere tapos para silang helicopter na bababa sa lupa"

No Expense was spared. a cement factory in Taytay was transformed into one huge studio and the services of Hong Kong fight instructor Phillip Ko were secured. What they tried to create was virtually an entire world with its own physical rules and way of life. "Hindi siya Pilipinas, Hindi siya sa earth, may sarili silang kultura, iba yung way nila ng pagdarasal, iba yung writings nila, although not necessarily yung linguwahe".

It also helped considerably that the cast was equally enthusiastic. "They train talaga. Si Melissa Ricks ang galing, si Luis kickboxer talaga, Si Rafael, Si Jhong, mga dancer diba? Minsan hindi na sila nagdo-double when they fight" Angelica Panganiban in particular is grateful for being cast in Rounin. "Na-inspire akong mag wu-shu. Sobrang effective way to lose weight."

At the center of the series is a touching love story - make that a series of love triangles. King is confident that they'll be able to tap a wide audience with Rounin. "Basic core ng viewership natin mga babae eh. Bonus na yun if you could draw in mga bata, mga lalake. there's fighting scenes. Saka ang hilig ng pinoy sa anime!"

Directors: Erik Matti and Richard Somes
Casts: Diether Ocampo, Angelica Panganiban, Luis Manzano, Geoff Eigenmann, Nikki Gil, Joross Gamboa, Rafael Rosell, Melissa Ricks, Jhong Hilario, Shaina Magdayao, Rayver Cruz, Monsour Del Rosario, Agot Isidro and more.

Dream Engagement Ni Angel

2006-12-28T18:53:00.000-08:00

Sa pagdaan ng mga taon ay naging stable ang relasyon nina Angel Locsin
at Oyo Boy Sotto at di naapektuhan ang kanilang pagmamahalan ng kahit
anong intriga. Pero malayo pa silang magpakasal dahil marami pa silang
pangarap na nais matupad.

Tinanong namin si Angel kung ano ang gusto niyang pamamaraan sakaling
i-announce ang kanilang engagement ng nobyo.

"Gusto ko yung bumababa ako sa isang magandang hagdan at nasa ibaba
naman si Oyo para salubungin ako. Parang debut ang drama," sabay
halakhak nito.

Top 20 StarStruck hopefuls meet the entertainment press

2006-12-28T18:49:00.000-08:00

The remaining 20 hopefuls in the ongoing StarStruck The Next Level,
GMA-7's first and original reality-based artista search, were
presented for the first time to the entertainment press last night,
December 27.

The 10 boys and 10 girls each paraded their talents—30 seconds of
singing or dancing—to the press attending the launch at Studio 3 of
the Kapuso Network.

The top 10 boys are Aljur Abrenica, 16, of Pampanga; Chad Burden,
20, Cebu; Dave Valentino, 20, Marikina; Dex Quindoza, 17, Manila;
Jan Manual, 20, Laguna; Kiko Junio, 16, Pampanga; Lui Perez, 19,
South Cotabato; Mart Escudero, 16, Cavite; Paulo Avelino, 18, Baguio
City; and Prince Stefan, 17, Iloilo.

The top 10 girls are Chariz Solomon, 17, of Pasay; Hazel Uy, 19,
Cebu; Jean de Castro, 17, Mandaluyong; Jesi Corcuera, 16, Pasay;
Jewel Mische, 16, Bulacan; Kris Bernal, 17, Quezon City; Lizzy
Pecson, 19, Pampanga; Renee Lascuna, 17, Davao; Rich Asuncion, 17,
Bohol; and Stef Prescott, 16, La Union.

This fourth batch of StarStruck contestants is one of the most
interesting in the history of the talent search of GMA-7. There are
the sob stories—someone who is a product of a dysfunctional family
or someone looking for a missing biological parent—that have become
a staple among contestants in artista-searches since StarStruck
began.

This year's roster also includes a son of royalty from Saudi Arabia
(Prince Stefan), a Sam Milby-look alike (Dave Valentino), a former
talent of ABS-CBN (Mart Escudero), a son whose father is in jail for
drug possession (Kiko Junio), a Japan entertainer-wannabe (Chariz
Solomon), and a girl who is openly lesbian (Jesi Corcuera).

For the first time in the four-year history of StarStruck, four
equal winners will be named and three titles are at stake: Ultimate
Sweetheart, Ultimate Hunk, and Ultimate Loveteam.

On New Year's Eve, December 31, these 20 hopefuls will be reduced to
the standard Final 14 in an episode airing live from Raja Sulayman
Park, Baywalk, Manila.

The fate of the StarStruck Top 20 rests on: (1) the votes of the
Council, composed of multi-awarded actress Lorna Tolentino, multi-
media director Louie Ignacio, and top-caliber talent manager Douglas
Quijano; and (2) the text votes from their fans and supporters.

To vote, just text STARSTRUCKName of Survivor and send to 2344 for
Globe and Touch Mobile subscribers and 367 for Smart and Talk N'
Text users.

StarStruck The Next Level is hosted by Dingdong Dantes, Raymond
Gutierrez and Jolina Magdangal.

Past winners include Mark Herras, Jennylyn Mercado, Mike Tan, Ryza
Cenon, Jackie Rice, and Marky Cielo.

Dos at Siyete, matindi ang laban sa 2007!

2006-12-28T18:43:00.000-08:00

LEST we smell of stale cabbage and carry rehashed news on festival
films and stars which turn off readers, we'll talk about other
things.

About the coming year and new shows on TV 2007. New things.

While GMA-7 prepares their fantasy series, they have now come out
with Asian Treasures, Lupin and Super Twins for next year.

Asian Treasures features Robin Padilla and Angel Locsin. Lupin has
Richard Gutierrez, the current Captain Barbell.

Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado are behind the star-studded cast
of Super Twins.

***

On the other hand, ABS-CBN midway through 2006 have been preparing a
Piolo Pascual-Claudine Barreto soap, Walang Kapalit. In fact, cast
and crew went all the way to Australia to tape some episodes.

Midway through the year, there was also the search of a young girl,
about 8 to 11, who would play the title role in a revival of
Flordeluna which started out as a radio soap in the `70s.

Eliza Pineda, 11, a child TV actress for three years, was chosen for
the title role of Maria Flordeluna which will hit the TV screen
later in January.

With Jerry Sineneng as its director, the cast is impressive: Vina
Morales, Eula Valdez, Liza Lorena, Johnny Delgado, Albert Martinez,
John Estrada, Roldan Aquino, Minnie Aguilar, Jill Yulo, Alwyn
Uytingco, Nash Aguas and Kristel Fulgar.

In mid-November when Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo were through
with their festival movie Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo, they also started a
new soap.

Taping last November stated in Vicente Cruz St. in Sampaloc with
Rory Quintos. Also in the cast are Gina Pareño and Aiza Seguerra.

This Juday-Ryan has the title of Ysabela. There is always a first
time of TV soap for Juday and Ryan.

Angel at Richard, perfect match

2006-12-28T18:42:00.000-08:00

Tama si Ms. Lorna Tolentino na strong support siya sa Mano Po 5: Gua
Ai Di dahil halos pumantay na siya sa exposure ng mga bidang sina
Richard Gutierrez at Angel Locsin.

Simple lang ang kuwento ng MP5 na katulad ng mga naunang Mano Po
movies, ang basic conflict ay ang pagmamahalang Pinoy at Chinese.

Very light ang atake nito na bumagay sa young cast kesa kung ginawa
itong madrama at masyadong seryoso.

As usual ay matino ang pagkakadirehe ni Direk Joel Lamangan at
pawang nag-deliver ang kanyang mga artista. Okey ang timpla ng
comedy at love story. Type namin ang pagtatampok sa mga pagkaing
Chinese at `yung mga eksenang nagluluto ang mag-lolang Angel at Ms.
Boots Anson-Roa, sana lang ay medyo hinabaan pa ito at mas nabigyan
ng highlight.

Sobrang guwapo ni Richard Gutierrez sa screen at hanep ang moviestar
aura. Cute siya bilang young veterinarian na nainlab sa hindi niya
kalahi.

Perfect match sila ng ever beautiful na si Angel Locsin, na hindi
lang maganda kundi mahusay pang aktres. Kwela si Ms. LT bilang
purong Chinese na ina ni Angel na kontrang-kontra sa Pinoy na si
Richard.

Halos lahat ng eksena ay nandu'n siya pero pinakaaliw kami sa
celfone scene ni Ms. LT na kiyemeng may kausap siya, wala naman pala!

Ang ganda-ganda ng exposure ni Christian Bautista sa MP5. Tailor-
made sa kanya ang role ng isang sikat na Asian singer na kababata ni
Angel at naging `sagabal' sa pagmamahalan nito at ni Richard.

Very sympathetic ang character ni Christian at kahit `panggulo' siya
sa magka-loveteam ay hindi siya lumabas na kontrabida.

In fairness ay ang laki ng in-improve ng kanyang akting. Swabeng-
swabe ang dating ni Christian at never siyang nagkulang o nag-OA sa
kanyang mga eksena.

Kargado siya ng tamang emosyon kaya naantig kami sa tagpong
nagpapaalam na siya kay Angel at siya na lang ang lalayo at
magpaparaya. Sana, mabigyan agad ng follow-up movie si Christian.

`Katuwa `yung pagsisingit ni Direk Joel ng mga dream sequence gaya
nu'ng well-choreographed fight scene nina Richard-Christian in full
Chinese martial arts costume.

Medyo nanghinayang lang kami sa kapansin-pansing pagbabago ng kulay
at texture ng pelikula sa ilang eksena dahil ang ganda-ganda pa
naman ng look at color ng movie, tapos ay biglang nagkagano'n.

MMFF Movies Official First Day Gross

2006-12-28T18:31:00.000-08:00

As I said, the nine entries of the ongoing Metro Filmfest (until
Jan. 7, 2007) are ranked in many different ways, depending on who
you're asking.

Yesterday, Funfare published the opening-day ranking furnished by
the bookers' group, without the figures.

Here now is the ranking when the Metro Filmfest opened on Dec. 25,
with the corresponding grosses:

1. Enteng Kabisote, P21.4-M

2. Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo, P12.9-M

3. Shake, Rattle & Roll 8, P9.9-M

4. Matakot Ka sa Karma, P5-M

5. Super Noypi, P4.76-M

6. Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah Zee Moveeh, P2.9-M

7. Mano Po 5: Gua Ai Di, P1.9-M

8. Ligalig, P1.5-M

9. Tatlong Baraha, P1.3-M

The ranking stays the same on the second day (Dec. 26).

However, Mano Po 5 has been picking up now that enough prints have
arrived., On opening day, the Regal entry had a limited number of
prints, thus depriving moviegoers a chance to watch it. But they can
always catch up.

I'm inviting Funfare readers to watch all the entries and help prop
up the local movie industry which is only now getting back on its
feet after a lingering slump. I assure you that all nine entries are
worth your while and your money.

Kristine Hermosa - nag suplada sa bazaar tiangge

2006-12-28T02:57:00.000-08:00

WELL, delusions of grandeur talaga ang sakit ng karamihan sa ating mga
artista.

Perfect example daw itong ABS-CBN talent na si Kristine Hermosa na
kinairitahan ng fans at security people sa bazaar-tiangge ng
celebrities kamakailan sa World Trade.

Kung ang ibang artista raw ay talaga namang go talaga roon para
personal na i-meet ang kanilang mga tagahanga at ibenta ang kanilang
goodies, itong girlfriend ni Diet ay feeling Greta Garbo raw na
super-tago kapag nagpupunta sa kanyang booth dahil ayaw na ayaw
ni-yang nakikita siya ng kanyang mga tagahanga dahil tiyak na
mapapagod daw siya sa kapipirma ng autograph at pakikipag-pose for
souvenir photos.

Ha! Ha! Ha! The nerve! Para bang sikat na sikat pa siya gayung iisa na
lang yata ang kanyang pro-duct endorsement.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Anyway, hindi nagtapos doon ang lahat. Dahil nairita sa kanyang
obno-xious prima-donna demeanor, sinigawan daw ng mga fans at security
guard ang aktres ng, "Laos!" Ha! Ha! Ha!

Pa'no naman, sigawera raw ang tisay na `to at kung makapagtaray sa mga
sikyu ay para bang siya ang nagpapasuweldo sa kanila. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hayan, naokray tuloy.

Buti nga. Dapat talaga sa mga artistang tulad ni-yan ay tinuturuan ng
lek-syon.

Jennylyn at Polo, nagde-date?

2006-12-27T18:40:00.000-08:00

Hindi naitago ni Jennylyn Mercado ang inis sa bagong issue na
kumakalat na more than friends daw sila ni Polo Ravales.

"Friends lang kami ni Polo," madiin na sabi ng aktres, sabay dagdag
na ayaw na niya ng mga issue tungkol sa kaniyang love life na hindi
naman totoo.

Hindi rin alam ni Jen kung saan nagsimula ang tsismis na ito, pero
si Polo may hinala. Sa tingin ng aktor, baka raw nagsimula ito nang
suportahan siya ng mga fans ni Jen nung magguest siya sa All Star K!
At lalong nagtataka ang binata dahil hindi naman raw si Jen ang
sumuporta kundi mga fans.

Ayon pa kay Polo, malabong maging sila ni Jen dahil parang kapatid
lang daw ang turing niya sa dalaga.

"Tahimik na ako ngayon," wika ni Jennylyn. "Ayoko na ng ganung
issue."

Gerald Anderson's interview about Farina Runkle

2006-12-23T02:46:00.000-08:00

Ang pictures nila ng sinasabing ex-girlfriend niya na si Farina Runkle ang una naming itinanong kay Gerald Anderson nang matsika namin siya kahapon nang tanghali sa pocket presscon ng teleseryeng Sana Maulit Muli sa 9501 resto sa ABS-CBN.

Si Farina ang girl na katabi, kayakap at kahalikan ni Gerald sa mga photos o pictures na kumalat sa internet.

Ang sabi-sabi ay naging syota ni Gerald si Farina, na kasama sa mga nag-audition sa StarStruck The Next Level ng GMA. Napili ito sa top 20 girls pero hindi na pumasok sa final 10 girls.

"Naging close lang po kami nu’ng nagkasama kami sa auditions ng PBB Teen Edition, nu’ng bago ako pumasok sa Bahay ni Kuya…

"Parang papunta pa lang po kami roon (sa boyfriend-girlfriend relationship) pero hindi po naging kami. Siguro, parang MU (mutual understanding) lang.

"Parang medyo nag-iba po siya nu’ng napili ako at siya, hindi. Ewan ko po sa kanya kung bakit," dayalog ni Gerald sa kanyang signature Tagalog na may accent na pinagsamang Bisaya at Ingles.
Kung hindi sila naging magsyota eh, bakit ganu’n ka-sweet ang pictures nila? Magkaibigan lang ba ‘yung nagli-lips-to-lips?

"Ay, hindi po, hindi po talaga! Kung naging girlfriend ko po siya, aaminin ko po. Nagulat nga po ako paglabas ko ng Bahay ni Kuya na may mga pictures na gano’n. Pero okey lang po sa akin. Alam ko naman po ang totoo, eh!" bulalas ni Gerald.

Ang dating no’n ay ginagamit lang siya nu’ng girl na ‘yon para pag-usapan ito at mapansin. Anong feeling niya rito?

"Gawin niya kung anong gusto niyang gawin, okey lang sa akin! Basta, alam ko naman ang totoo, eh! Alam ko naman na hindi talaga naging kami.

"Parang mali po ‘yon (na nilabas ni Farina ‘yung mga picture), pero anong magagawa ko eh, lumabas na, di ba? Kahit may pictures po na gano’n, hindi po talaga naging kami. Kung naging ex ko po siya, aaminin ko naman, eh!" mariing pakli ng 17 y/o Fil-Am bagets.

Ayon kay Gerald ay mga 1½ months silang nagkakilala ni Farina at mga 3 weeks din silang naging close. Hindi siya sanay sa pangalan na Farina dahil ‘Sharleen’ ang tawag niya rito noon (Sharleen Farina Runkle ang complete name nu’ng girl).

Agree ba siya na ginagamit lang siya ni Farina para pag-usapan ito?

"Hindi naman po. Ayoko naman po sabihin ‘yon. Ewan ko kung anong gusto niyang gawin!" sey niya.

May nakapagsabi kay Gerald na nu’ng nasa loob siya ng PBB house ay doon inilagay ni Farina ang pictures nila sa Friendster account nito.

Mula nu’ng pumasok siya hanggang sa makalabas ng Bahay ni Kuya ay hindi na raw niya ito nakausap. At kahit ngayon na may kumalat na ganitong isyu ay wala pa rin siyang balak hanapin at kausapin pa si Farina.

"Hindi na po. Kasi, ayoko na po, eh! At saka ‘yun nga po… nag-iba na siya, eh! So, bakit ko siya kakausapin kung ayaw niya, di ba?

"Okey na po ‘yon sa akin. Matagal na po ‘yon, eh! Nu’ng nasa Bahay ni Kuya pa ako, pinasok pa ‘yon (pictures) sa loob at ipinakita sa amin. So, okey lang!"

Kita sa nasabing larawan na mariin ang pagkakahalik niya sa labi ni Farina at tipong feel na feel niya ang ginagawa nila. Naku, hindi pala siya wholesome, huh!

"Hindi po, hindi po ganu’n! Ha! Ha! Ha!" tawa niya, na tipong nagba-blush at nahihiya sa pang-iintriga namin sa kanya.

"Ako po kasi, ayokong mambastos ng babae. May gusto siya sa akin; ako rin, gusto ko rin siya noon. Hindi naman ako makikipag-kiss sa girl kung wala akong gusto sa kanya, di ba?" hirit niya.

So, hanggang kiss lang ba sila?

"Opo! Ha! Ha! Ha!" sagot niya, na shy effect pa rin at payuku-yuko at pailing-iling.

Natuwa ba siya na hindi nakapasok sa Final 10 female survivors ng StarStruck The Next Level si Farina?

"Hindi naman po. Happy ako sa kanya na nakasali siya roon. Pero hindi po ako natutuwa na na-eliminate siya. Okey lang po sa akin. Siguro, may dahilan kung bakit siya natanggal or something."

Baka ngayon ay may bago na naman siyang girlfriend na any moment ay pwedeng maglabas ng intimate pictures nila…

"Ay, wala po! Wala akong girlfriend now. 100% sure po ako! Kung may pictures po ako ulit na lalabas, siguro kahit na anong gusto n’yong gawin sa akin, gawin n’yo na! Pero 100% sure po ako na wala," tila naghahamong sambit pa ni Gerald.

Blind Item # 3 Sex Video ng Young Stars kumalat

2006-12-18T05:09:00.001-08:00

Lumabas na ang isang pinakatatagong video ng dating magkarelasyong Young Star and Young Actor na diumano'y meron palang ginawang biruan. Sa isang shooting or show na ginanap sa isang probinsya, nag check in sila sa isang hotel. Hindi nga naman maganda kung dito sa manila sila magcheck in dahil siguradong paguusapan sila.

Naganap ang isang biruan kung saan ang young actor ang kumukuha ng video sa kanyang gf ng hubo't hubad. Oo, hubo't hubad, walang saplot ang naturang young actress... Patago tago pa ang young actress at naghahabulan sila sa isang kwarto habang kinukunan sya. Masasabing ang young actor nga ang kumukuha ng video dahil na din sa pagsasalita ng young actress at pagbanggit nito sa naturang pangalan habang kinukunan. Ayokong maniwala sa umpisa hindi
ko maisip na magagawa ng young actress ito na magpakuha sa bf ng hubo't hubad dahil na din sa inosenteng mukha nito at kahinhinan, pero totoo nga, base sa nakita kong video, sya nga ang main character... Maganda ang hubog ng katawan ng babae may kapayatan lang pero maganda ang katawan nito.

Ang magkarelasyon ay minsan ng naging kontrobersyal at ngayon ay hiwalay na. Sinasabing may ibat ibang karelasyon na daw sila ngayon.

BLIND ITEM #2 Tall, handsome and... dyutay

2006-12-17T03:41:00.000-08:00

So very pathetic naman pala ang episode ng young, tall and good looking actor na ‘to. Kidding aside, in spite of his good height and appealing machismo, mala-Mo Twis-ter (if I may quote Mother Cristy Fermin. Ha! Ha! Ha!) lang daw ang kanyang equipment.

On Mo’s part, no big deal naman talaga ‘yun if ever it’s true, pero on this young and stud-like actor’s part, it’s a ve-ritable tragedy.

‘Yan daw ang tsismis ng elyadora niyang former girlfriend na eventually ay pumatol sa tibo. Oo nga’t paboloso raw kung magregalo ang aktor (“He gives you things like chocolates, roses galore, even jewelry if only to compensate for his loss at the side department,” wika ng libe-rated woman who’s now having an affair with a dancer/actor), pero wala raw talaga siyang naramdaman ever.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

As if to confirm this highly-sexed woman’s pronouncements, ganyan din daw ang talkies ng isang tisay na aktres-aktresan who’s now very much hooked with a good-looking guy who seems to be promising at the crotch department.

Ganun?

How traumatic naman pala on the part of this gorgeous young man who happens to be a good actor as well.

No wonder, wala raw ma-kitang bumubukol ang mga intrigera at nota-oriented (no-ta-oriented daw, o! Ha! Ha! Ha!) na reporters sa kanyang very revealing costume sa isang fantaserye. Ha! Ha! Ha!

But then, if you come right down to it, wala na-mang reklamo ang bago ni-yang girlfriend. Obviously, labs siya nito at hindi laki ng tubolites ang barometer nito para mahalin ang isang lalaki.

Ole! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Heto ang balitang siguradong nakarating na sa ’yo. Mag-on na raw sina Anne Curtis at Sam Milby. Kung tutuusin, ’di na ito kataka-taka. ’Di ba, may kasabihang constant togetherness breeds romance? Well, thrice a week pala kung mag-taping ang dalawa for the ABS-CBN teleserye, Maging Sino Ka Man. Eh, nagkataon pang nasa parte na sila na nag-iibigan. Kaya natural, nagiging more and more intimate ang kanilang mga eksena’t nauwi na raw ngayon sa totohanan. Kung sabagay, maraming things in common sina Anne at Sam. They are both in their early 20s. Both have Filipino mothers at amang banyaga. Australian ang father ni Anne, si Sam naman, Amerikano. Bukod sa kanilang dalawa, stars din ng Maging Sino Ka Man sina John Lloyd Cruz at Bea Alonzo.

Kagagaling lang nila sa SiS, kung saan ay nag-promote sila ng Super Noypi.Sa una ay deadma lang kami na magkasama sila sa lugar na ‘yon. Baka kasi nagutom lang sila after nilang mag-promote ng Super Noypi, kaya nagkayayaan silang kumain.Pag-alis nila ay saka namin na-realize na nali-link nga pala sila sa isa’t isa. Ang tsismis ay sila na. Nag-isip-isip tuloy kami. Sa mga kilos nila, aba, parang mag-on na sila.Si Katrina kaya ang dahilan kaya wala na sina Mark at Nicole Anderson?Tinext namin si Nicole para ipaalam na nakita naming magkasama sina Mark at Katrina.Puro "hahaha" lang ang text back sa amin ng anak ni Jean Saburit.Sa pangungulit namin kay Nicole sa text ay heto ang text back niya sa amin, "Ok!

Yasmien Kurdi, willing magpa-sexy!

2006-12-14T17:07:00.000-08:00

November 30 sana ang photo shoot ng sexy pictorial ni Yasmien Kurdi. Nakahanda na ang sexy outfits at ang konsepto, pero biglang nag-back out ang dalaga.

Hindi raw siya pinayagan ng kanyang mga magulang nang malaman nila na para sa isang men�s magazine ang pictorial, kung saan cover girl dapat si Yasmien. Ayon pa sa kanya, kung ano mang giyera ang dinaranas ng South Lebanon ngayon, ganun din ang mangyayari kung malaman ng dad niya na nagpa-sexy siya para sa isang men�s magazine.

Pwede pa rin naman daw magpa-sexy ang aktres--basta hindi sa men�s magazine.

Mabentang-mabenta rin si Yasmien ngayon sa mga roles kung saan pinapapangit siya. Bukod sa Bakekang, lalabas rin siya sa Magpakailanman bilang isang babaeng hindi gaanong kagandahan.

Masaya at kinikilig rin ang dalaga ngayon dahil siya ang mag-i-interview sa kaniyang favorite Korean actor na si Kwon Sang-woo, na mas kilala as Cholo mula sa Koreanovela na Stairway to Heaven. Sa sobrang tuwa nga ni Yasmien, napatili raw ito sa set ng Bakekang nang malaman niya na siya ang napiling sa nasabing interview.

Why not? Baka matalbugan nya pa yung mga naunang lumabas na sa men's magazines.

Jackie Rice at Ryza Cenon, susunod nang mga cover girls?

2006-12-13T23:08:00.000-08:00

Usung-uso ang magpose ng sexy sa mga young stars kung saan nagpapakita ang mga ito ng mga natatagong alindog.

Nauna na rito sina Angel Locisn at Katrina Halili. Si Jennylyn Mercado naman, promotion ng kanyang pelikulang Super Noypi ang dahilan kung bakit siya napa-oo sa pagpapakita ng hubog ng katawan. Edad naman ang dahilan nina Iwa Moto, Pauleen Luna, at Ehra Madrigal, na naghintay muna ng kanilang debut bago patunayan sa lahat na sexy rin sila.

Ilan na lang ang mga young stars na natitira na hindi pa sumasabak sa pagpapasexy. Nangunguna na sa wish list ng mga sexy magazine ang mga Starstruck survivors na sina Jackie Rice at Ryza Cenon.

Si Jackie, edad at confidence raw ang problema. Sa ngayon daw, hanggang tube at shorts lang muna ang kaya ni Jackie, gaya ng mga suot niya sa SOP. Si Ryza naman, hindi maisip kung paano niya iiwan ang kanyang sweet image.

“Hindi pa nga, kasi bata pa ako,” pabirong pagmamaktol na sagot ni Ryza. “Niloloko kasi ako ng mga taga-Artist Center na July daw ako. Ayaw ko, hindi ako sexy!”

“Ang laging ina-advice sa akin ng daddy ko, kung sexy ka talaga, ‘di mo na kailangan magpose,” ang sagot naman ni Jackie.

Pero ayon sa dalawa, mage-enjoy muna sila sa kanilang wholesome image bago sila sumabak sa paseksihan.

I'll be doing series of Blind Items, you can post your comments and guesses! Here's the first one...

Sa isang showbiz affair ay naroon ang sikat na young actress. Walang problema ang mukha nito dahil maamo ito at maganda. Kaya lang napuna ng ilang reporter ang kanyang maitim na kilikili dahil naka-sleeveless ito.

"Dapat niyang ipa-scrub ang kilikili para pumuti ito. Ngayon pa namang ratsada ang kanyang career," sey ng isang mataray na reporter.

Visible sa soap opera ang young actress at magaling ding kumanta. -

Jennylyn, problemado kay Patrick!

2006-12-11T22:17:00.000-08:00

Ruel Mendoza reports on Jennylyn and Patrick

GAANO katotoo ang balitang nasagap namin na takbuhan ni Jennylyn Mercado si Jake Cuenca tuwing nagkakaproblema raw sila ni Patrick Garcia? Ayon sa aming source, si Jake ang tinatawagan ni Jennylyn at hinihingan ng sama ng loob dahil minsan daw ay hindi siya masaya sa lihim na relasyon nila ni Patrick.

Minsan daw ay dumadalaw pa si Jennylyn sa condo unit ni Jake para lang makipagkuwentuhan sa binata.

Sure ang aming source dahil ilang beses daw niyang nakita ang sasakyan ni Jennylyn na naka-park sa lote ng condo building kung saan may unit si Jake.

Pero ang tanong ay ano ba ang naging relasyon nina Jennylyn at Jake? Naging sila ba noon? Bakit si Jake ang tinatawagan ni Jennylyn? Wala ba itong mga kaibigang babae para doon siya maglabas ng mga sama ng loob niya?

At may relasyon ba talaga sina Jennylyn at Patrick? Ilang beses nila itong idini-deny pero bakit naman daw hindi masaya si Jennylyn kay Patrick?

At least, itong nasagap naming tsismis ay naiiba sa sex video issue nila ni Mark Herras na paulit-ulit na nasusulat. Sa true lang naman, hindi makakatulong ang sex video issue sa pelikula nilang Super Noypi na pambata pa naman.

As if naman makakatulong din ang pagkakaugnay ulit ni Jennylyn kay Jake at ang pagiging hindi niya masaya sa relasyon nila ni Patrick.

Vina settles ‘Borgy issue’ with a big slap!

2006-12-11T22:00:00.000-08:00

The Philippine Star reports on Vina and Borgy "big slap issue"

It was bound to happen, considering the small circle they move in, sooner or later. It happened, well, sooner.

Sunday night, the paths of Vina Morales and Borgy Manotoc did cross and what a resounding encounter it was!

As you must have known by now, Vina has been, to borrow irate Sen. Miriam’s words, "foaming in the mouth" after Borgy named her among the three famous women he said he had gone to bed with (also including German model Lana Asanin and starlet Victoria London) on the Forbidden Questions portion of DJ Mo Twister’s program on Magic 89.9 (Monday through Thursday, 6 to 9 a.m.).

"Of course, I know who Borgy Manotoc is," Vina had told Funfare, "who doesn’t? But I’m not close to him. Hanggang ‘Hi!’ and ‘Hello!’ lang kami. No, I’ve never gone to bed with him!"

Anyway, their chance encounter happened at Greenbelt where Vina and her Chinese boyfriend went to watch a movie Happy Feet. While her boyfriend was parking the car, Vina went ahead to buy tickets, accompanied by her boyfriend’s bodyguard. Guess who Vina saw near the box office, engrossed in a video game at the nearby Timezone – yes, Borgy and his girlfriend Ornussa Cadness!

Not losing a minute, Vina marched toward Borgy and confronted him.

The exchange happened this way, more or less:

Vina: Why did you say that I went to bed with you?

Borgy: Oh, it was just a joke!

Vina: A joke – at my expense?

Borgy: I’m sorry. It was really just a joke which went out of proportion.

Vina: How dare you make a such a bad joke!

Borgy: I’m sorry. Please don’t do this in a public place!

Vina: What did you say? Didn’t you make that bad joke in a public venue, on radio?

As Borgy kept saying, "I’m sorry!", Vina delivered a big slap across his face, making his mouth bleed.

Being a gentleman (I believe he is), Borgy just kept saying, "I’m sorry!" while Ornussa and Vina’s boyfriend’s bodyguard stood by.

Then, Vina’s boyfriend arrived and asked what was the matter.

"I can handle this," Vina assured him.

Before they parted, Vina and Borgy let bygones be bygones by giving each other a hug.

Asked by Funfare yesterday why she did it, Vina said, "It had been more than a week since the controversy broke out; I’ve all over television, hurting, but Borgy never said a word. Not even a call or a text message to apologize. I was worried that people were starting to believe that I really went to bed with him."

Asked further how she felt after the incident, Vina said, "Relieved! I’d been hurting...I needed my name to be cleared. No, I have no regrets that I did it."

Would she still file a slander case against Borgy as planned?

"I don’t think so," said Vina who acted as "judge" and delivered a reverberating "verdict."

Now, who’s to blame for untoward incidents like this...for celebrities being pitted against one another? DJ Mo Twister and his "forbidden questions"? I don’t think so. As Mo said, "I only ask the questions. It’s my guests who give the answers."

Could it be the guest celebrities who are presumably desperate for attention and publicity? Or, perhaps, for the sake of, as Borgy told Vina, simply "joking?" What do you think?

Okay, so the case between Vina and Borgy is closed.

All’s well that ends well?

Oh, well...

I guess Vina is telling the truth...

Biboy Ramirez defends Jackie Rice

2006-12-10T23:29:00.000-08:00

Biboy claims that it's not true that Jackie asked her mom to leave their house.

Rose Garcia | Monday, December 11, 2006

Nasa Makati Medical Hospital si Biboy Ramirez noong Sabado, November 9, nang mag-reply ito sa (PEP) Philippine Entertainment Portal sa pamamagitan ng text message noong una at ‘di kalaunan ay tumawag na rin to clear the issue on him and his rumored girlfriend StarStruck Batch 3 Female Ultimate Survivor, Jackie Rice.

Ayon kay Biboy, napasugod daw siya sa hospital dahil sa isang non-showbiz friend na nasa critical condition. Pero ayaw na nitong pag-usapan pa yun at masulat dahil hindi naman daw artista ang kaibigan.

Bago tumawag si Biboy, nag-text muna ang PEP sa kanya para alamin ang side niya kung totoo ngang nag-away at umabot pa sa pisikalan ang naging engkuwentro ni Jackie at ng mommy nito na si Vicki Sobreo.

Ang isyu kasi ay hindi raw pabor kay Biboy ang mommy ni Jackie. Ang gusto raw ng ina para sa anak ay ang kapareha ni Jackie sa Tatlong Baraha na si Maynard Lapid, anak ni Senator Lito Lapid. Ang ending, ayon sa mga nasusulat, pinalayas daw ni Jackie ang sariling ina sa bahay nito sa Manila.

"Walang tumama, swear to God! Saang planeta naman nanggaling ‘yan?" natatawang sagot ni Biboy na unang napanood sa mga youth-oriented show na Besfriends at Click ng GMA-7 at naging first runner-up din sa reality-based show na 30 Days.

On the other hand, hindi naman itinanggi ni Biboy na nagkaroon nga ng pag-aaway between Jackie and her mom.

"‘Yun, totoo yun!" sabi ni Biboy. "Nagkaroon nga sila ng konting away or nagkasagutan, pero hindi naman umabot sa pisikalan or nagkasakitan na sila. Walang ganoon. At saka yung isyu naman nila, family matters... Usual na nagkakaroon ng tampuhan or diskusyon ang magulang at anak, but it has nothing to do with me."

Ayon pa kay Biboy, na kasalukuyang napapanood sa telefantasya na Atlantika ng GMA-7, wala raw siyang problema sa buong pamilya ni Jackie.

"Okey naman ako with her family...Sa mommy at sa daddy niya. At kahit sa mga kapatid ni Jackie, maayos, walang problema."

Bilang pagtatanggol pa rin kay Jackie, pinabulaanan din ni Biboy ang isyung pinalayas ni Jackie ang sariling ina kaya naman nasa Olongapo na naman daw ito instead na kasa-kasama sana ng young actress dito sa Manila.

Paliwanag ni Biboy, "Hindi naman totoo ‘yon. Hindi pinalayas ni Jackie ang mommy niya. Ang mommy niya talaga ang gusto munang umuwi ng Olongapo dahil marami pa ring kapatid si Jackie na mas bata sa kanya na dapat alagaan ng mommy niya, tutal naman, ‘yung daddy niya, kasama na rin ni Jackie rito sa Manila.

Dagdag pa niya, "At saka, alam ko, okey naman sila. Nagte-text-an naman sila at nagtatawagan."

Nang taunungin kung ilang months na ang itinatagal ng relasyon nila ni Jackie, natawa lang si Binoy at nakiusap na huwag na lang daw yun pag-usapan.

Mark Herras wants different leading ladies

2006-12-10T00:31:00.000-08:00

Manila Bulletin reports that Mark Herras wants to work with different leading ladies

In the movie "Super Noypi", both Mark Herras and Jennylyn Mercado play super heroes with uncanny abilities. Though together again in a movie, the story and the whole cast are the film's focus than their love team. Could this be the start of the end of the Mark-Jennylyn love team?

"Not necessarily. Maybe GMA is just experimenting on something. Maybe they would want our love team to take a break first. We've been a love team for almost three years and love teams don't last that long," said the actor in Tagalog.

As witnessed by the showbiz-loving public, broken love teams usually have consequences. One of them is either the downfall of the actor or actress' career. And that would mean having less TV or movie projects. But Mark sees it differently - moving away from a love team would present more opportunities as an actor.

He explained: "First of all I have a good working relationship with GMA Artist Center. Second there's Nanay Lolit. And I have experienced that Jen and I were treated equally. I think I'll still have a good career because even if I don't have a regular show, I'd have guest appearances in different TV shows."

If ever his love team with Jen really fizzles. Mark would not be on the lookout for a new love team partner. Rather he would take that chance to really hone his craft as an actor. He even admired the direction of Richard Gutierrez’ acting career since he can be paired with any leading lady, something he wants to do soon.

“I’ve passed the love team stage already. There are new actresses like Jackie Rice and Iwa Moto who I won’t mind working with. It’s nice to work with different actresses in every project. It’s okay for me if I have a love team or not,” expressed Mark who’s currently paired with Jackie Rice in GMA 7’s “Princess Charming.”

So far Mark has worked with Jen in the movies “So Happy Together,” “Let The Love Begin,” “Say That You Love Me,” “Lovestruck,” “Blue Moon” and “Eternity.” The last TV series they worked on is in “I Luv NY.”

So what benefits did he get from having a love team with Jennylyn Mercado?

“There’s a lot, like we became easily popular because of the love team. We also got a lot of projects because our love team clicked. Up to now when we each do individual shows, people still ask us where our partners were,” smiled Mark.

The two though remains good friends despite all the alleged womanizing issues of the said actor that may have caused their separation. During filming of “Super Noypi,” insiders from Regal Entertainment’s production team reported that the two were still very caring and sweet with one another. Their concern for each other was also said to have complimented and even enhanced their characters “kilig moments” in the movie. It was even rumored that the two even got back together.

What works between the two actors is their chemistry on the silver screen whether they are in a romantic scene or not. Insiders of the movie even commented that they don’t only act well, they look great in their super hero costumes. For those who haven’t seen the “Super Noypi” posters or trailer, Mark is in a fitting black jacket and pants with matching buckled-boots. He is Lorenzo and he has telekinetic abilities. While Jen as Lia looks daring and very sexy in an all gray-sleeveless jacket and tights that reveal her slim physique.

So how was it playing a superhero?

”After I saw the whole film, I became very proud of it. Regal really spent a lot for this film. All the effects and prosthetics were made be their very creative production team,” he boasted.

Looking back Mark has no regrets about their relationship crumbling nor does he blame himself. He also pointed out that the rumors about him were just blown out of proportion. He stands by his story that he and Ryza Cenon never kissed and that he only courted Marian Rivera when he and Jen were over to name a few.

“I guess it’s fate. That’s where our relationship took us. I have no regrets,” he said. Unlike before he stressed that he doesn’t meddle anymore in Jen’s businesses like a boyfriend. He respects whatever she does in her career and he always wished her well.

Mark is currently single since he stopped pursuing a relationship with an actress recently. He attributed his decision to their difference in life style. He felt that that would have an effect on their relationship in the future.

“I wasn’t comfortable because she has a high living lifestyle. Some would say it would be alright since I love her and I just had to adjust, but I saw it otherwise. I even sought her opinion. So the earlier I stop, the better it is for the two of us,” he lamented.

Just like his past girlfriends, Mark revealed that he never was a man who would look for someone to be his girlfriend. He always believed that who ever is for him would just come to his life.

At the moment Mark Herras would be doing two films with John Pratts next year and there’s a soap opera in the works for him. He also likes to venture on a business someday when he finished paying his house in North View 2 in Quezon City.

So why would children of all ages make “Super Noypi” a must watch movie this Christmas?

“First of all this will be the first time that all our fans will see us together as super heroes in a movie. It’s for the whole family and it’s not boring with all the action scenes. They will surely enjoy the film with its special effects. We all worked for this and it’s going to be worth their time. It’s like the Pinoy version of X-Men,” replied Mark.

If ever, like Lorenzo, Mark could relate to his character’s surprise in finding out he has super powers. Before he started in showbiz and even before he joined “Starstruck,” Mark only loved dancing. It was during the “Starstruck” contest and after that he was surprised to find out he could act. Acting then became his second love as he really wants to have a long career in showbiz. The only time he would stop if he feels that he is already begging for roles or parts to play.

“Maybe when this happens I already have a stable life to fall back to,” he remarked. “I love my work but I’d quit showbiz when its already appropriate for me to do so.”

ANOTHER CINDERELLA

Maagang nawala ang mommy mo, di ba? Ano'ng kinamatay niya?
Cancer sa bituka. Hindi ko na po maalala yung itsura niya eh. Sa picture lang.

Ano'ng naging epekto nito sa pamilya nyo?
Nagtrabaho po yung daddy ko, nung una sa Taiwan. Hindi ko po alam kun anong work niya, eh. Mga ilang years after namatay ng mommy ko, nakilala niya yung first stepmom ko na Pilipina rin. Umuwi sila dito sa Pilipinas para magpakasal. Tapos, dun sa bahay ng stepmom ko sa Malabon, dun kami tumira ng kuya ko. Tapos medyo bad ang stepmom ko.

Parang Cinderella ba ito?
Medyo po. Mga ilang weeks after nilang ikasal, bumalik yung daddy ko sa Taiwan para magtrabaho. Nakasama namin yung stepmom namin sa bahay. Hindi po siya nagwo-work nun. Nambubugbog po siya. Binubugbog niya kaming magkapatid. Siguro mga grade two ako nun. Uso pa nun yung Bantay Bata, eh. Pero hindi naman ako nag-attempt tumawag dun. Ha-ha-ha!

Ikuwento mo kung paano kayo binubugbog.
Yung walis tambo, pinapalo kami. Pinapaluhod sa asin. Yung kuya ko nga, pinatulog sa labas ng bahay, eh. Tapos hindi niya nakayanan, naglayas siya nung mga 10 years old siya. Nagpunta siya sa lola ko sa Laguna. Buti nga nakarating siya, eh. So naiwan ako. Nagkaroon kami ng kapatid dun. Ako yung nag-aalaga. ako yung naglilinis. Lahat! Wala kaming katulong.

Baka naman salbahe rin kayo nung mga bata pa kayo?
Hindi naman. Siguro kung meron namang nagawang [kasalanan], bakit naman ganun kagrabe, di ba? Tapos pag maraming pasa, hindi kami papapasukin sa school.

Alam ba ng daddy mo noon yung mga pananakit na'to?
Hindi pa nun. Nasa Taiwan siya, eh... Meron pang time nun, pag malapit na magpasukan, pinagtitinda kami ng ice candy. Yung mga kinita namin, binibigay namin sa stepmom ko. Yun ang ipambibili ng mga notebook at school supplies namin.

Bakit kailangan nyong magtrabaho para makabili ng gamit? Hindi ba kayo pinadadalhan ng allowance?
Ewan ko. Hindi ako mausisa noon, eh. Hindi rin namin tinatanong kung bakit wala kaming pambili ng notebook.

Ano'ng tumatakbo sa utak mo noon?
Ang iniisip ko po noon, kaya kami nagbebenta kasi summer. Hindi big deal sa'kin.

Kailan natigil yung pananakit?
Nung umalis yung stepmom ko papuntang Taiwan. Nakitira ako sa steplola ko na nadun lang din sa compound. Pero ako pa rin yung nag-aalaga ng kapatid ko kahit may school. Nagtatrabaho pa rin ako. Yung katabi ng bahay namin, factory siya. Nagtrabaho ako dun!

Anong trabaho naman ito?
Sa Malabon. Pagawaan ng keychain. Naglalagay ako ng glue sa keychain. Elementary pa lang ako nun.

Pinagtrabaho ka ba o trip mo lang? Sino'ng nagsabi sa'yo na magtrabaho ka dun?
Sila. Yung steplola ko. Para may pera daw po ako.

Magkano ang kita mo sa isang buwan?
Nasa P800. Kasi panghapon ako, so sa umaga ako nagtatrabaho. Dun ko po kinukuha yung allowance ko.

DADDY'S DEEDS

Kailan lang nalaman ng daddy mo ang tungkol dito?
Nung lumayas yung kuya ko nalaman ng tunay kong lola. Nalaman na rin ng daddy ko. Hanggang sa pinakuha na'ko ng lola ko. Nagkasama na kami ng kuya ko sa Laguna.

Bakit hindi ka nagsumbong sa daddy mo about the physical abuse?
Kasi bata pa'ko nun, eh. Ang naiisip ko lang nun, gusto ko nang umuwi dun sa lola ko. Kung alam ko lang nun kung paano...Lalo na nung iniwan ako ni Kuya. Naisip ko noon na sana hinintay niya ako. Nung una, akala ko lang, nasa school siya. Pero nakita ko, nandun yung mga gamit niya sa school. Pero sa cabinet, walang gamit. Ay, lumayas nga!

Kumusta na kayo ng daddy mo?
Sa Abu Dhabi na siya nagwo-work. Wala na sila nung una kong stepmom. Nalaman ko na lang, nag-asawa uli siya ng Pinay. May anak na. Pero ngayon, ewan ko lang kung isa pa lang din ang anak nila.

Sinusuportahan ka pa rin ba ng daddy mo hanggang ngayon?
Ngayon hindi na. Kasi siyempre, may work na daw ako. Basta sabi ko, wag niya lang papabayaan yung kuya ko.

Kilala mo ba personally yung latest mong stepmom?
Nakilala ko siya nung judgment night namin [sa StarStruck]. Nagpunta kasi sila Pero hindi kami talagang nag-usap. Nakita ko lang siya. Yun lang. Ganun din sa kapatid kong maliit. Mga three years old siya.

Galit ka ba sa daddy mo?
Nagalit ako once. Kasi nung Final Four pa lang, tumawag siya sa'kin. Sabi niya, "Uuwi na'ko. Hindi na'ko magwo-work. Diyan na lang ako sa Philippines, magi-stay." Magbi-business na lang daw siya. Parang na0feel ko nun na, "Naku, mukhang ako yata ang pagtatrabahuhin nito, ah! Siya, magpapahinga na lang." Kaya sabi ko po, "Hindi po!" Nung umuwi siya, hindi ko siya kinakausap para maparamdam ko na mali yung desisyon niya.

RYZA AND FALL

Insecure ka raw lalo na sa Batch 3 ng StarStruck in terms of projects at popularity.
No. Ni minsan po, hindi ako na-insecure. Naghihintay lang ako ng para sa'kin. Kung ano man yung ibigay, masaya na'ko dun. So kung mas umaangat sila sa'kin, okey lang. At least ako po stable. Hindi nawawalan. Kunwari mawala ako sa isang show, merong kasunod. So masaya ako dun.

Sa tingin mo, kailangan mo ng loveteam para mas sumikat?
Open naman ako kung merong ipa-partner sa'kin. Kasi yung last loveteam ko, aaminin ko, ayoko talaga sa kanya. Si CJ Muere. May ugali siyang di ko ma-ride. Yung family nila... basta may something na hindi mo kayang abutin. Siguro dahil laki sila sa yaman kaya ganun.

Parang minamaliit ka nila?
Parang ganun. So pinaramdam ko talaga sa Artist Center na ayoko talaga sa kanya. At saka alam naman po yun ni CJ, eh. Hindi ko nga kinakausap yun, eh. Hanggang sa naging solo na lang ako. Pero masaya ako. Kasi parang sa sarili mong sikap, ikaw mismo yung nagpakilala sa sarili mo.

One year after the Mark-Jennylyn "ahasan" issue, meron pa ring mga hindi naniniwala na wala kang kinalaman sa hiwalayan nila. Kinalantari mo nga ba talaga si Mark?
Hindi talaga totoo yan. Yan yung sa airplane, di ba? Nakita daw niya [Jennylyn] sa harapan niya may nangyayaring kissing. Ni hindi kami magkatabi ni Mark! Paano mo magagawa yun na ang daming tao? Marami ring artista. Kung meron mang nakitang ganun, eh, di sana marami na ring nagsasalitang artista na nakita nila.

Saan niya kaya nakuha yung kuwento? Bakit of all StarStruck artists, ikaw yung napili niya?
I don't know. Kasi yung sa Lovestruck, kami ni Mark ang palaging magkasama nun dahil kami yung magkapatid dun, eh. At that time, hindi na sila.

Pinormahan ka ba ni Mark?
Hindi. Kasi si Mark, malambing sa lahat. Kaya gusto siya ng lahat ng tao. Pero hindi ko siya gusto kasi playboy siya.

Saan naman nanggaling yung Cogie Domingo-Lovi Poe "ahasan" issue?
Hindi ko po alam!

Nag-umpisa raw ito nung nag-react ka sa isang blind item.
Actually, hindi ako nag-react. Kung ako yung tatanungin nyo, dededmahin ko talaga siya. Pero yung network ang nag-react regarding dun dahil hindi na daw tama. It's so unfair to me daw.

Textmates nga ba kayo ni Cogie?
No. First time ko siyang nakita at nakatrabaho sa Love to Love. Then meron kaming promo sa Eat Bulaga!, tapos nagkayayaan mag-lunch. Ako hindi na pwede kasi meron pa akong trabaho. Tapos tinext ako ni Cogie, "Uy sayang naman hindi ka makakapunta. Kung makakaabot ka, punta ka." Ganun lang. Parang friendly text lang. Nireplyan ko lang siya ng, "Sorry, ha. May work pa'ko, eh." Tapos minsan nagte-text siya, "Uy, musta?" Hindi po ako nagre-reply. Tamad akong mag-reply, eh. Ha-ha-ha!

Sino kaya'ng gumawa nito sa'yo?
Hindi ko alam. Sabi nga nila sa'kin, merong taong gusto talaga akong pabagasakin.

FULL FORCE

Sa experience mo, sino'ng mas mahirap ka-issue, si Jennylyn o si Lovi?
Si Jen! Kasi yung kanya, lumaki talaga, di ba? Etong Cogie-Lovi konti lang, eh. Nasolusyonan agad. Kay Jen kasi, parang padagdag nang padagdag yung issue every day. Iba't iba nang statement yung naririnig ko.

Saan ka pinakanasaktan?
Sa lahat ng mga sinasabi nila! Sa SOP, nung nandun yung mother ni Jen. Tapos pinariringgan ako. "Malandi yan! Maarte yan!" Eh sobrang dami ng tao sa rehearsal studio. Nandun yung mga dancers. Lahat!

Hindi siya pinipigilan ni Jennylyn?
Hindi. Binabantayan kasi siya ng mommy niya, eh.

Totoo bang binangga ka ni Jennylyn one time nung kainitan ng issue?
Yeah. Nung rehearsal yun. Nagkasabay kami ng rehearsal, magkasama kami sa dance. Natapos na yung rehearsal ko, nauna akong umalis sa kanya. After nun, biglang kasunod ko na siya sa likod. Magkatabi kami ng P.A. ko na naglalakad. Tapos dun siya dumaan sa gitna. Talagang hindi siya nag-excuse. Hindi siya nag-sorry. Natalisod ako. Dire-diretso lang siya. Hindi niya ako nilingon. Ako, dedma lang. Ang dami niyang kasama. Ewan ko. Baka natatakot silang sugurin ko, or what. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Marami talaga siyang kasamang mga kaibigan, mga fans. Pag nagkakaroon siya ng issue, lalo na pag rehearsal, full-force! Siguro binabantayan siya. Basta pag may issue siya.

Hindi mo ba sinubukang i-approach siya para sabihing tigilan niya yun?
Kasi, once na ginawa mo yun, sasabihin lang sa'yo, "Bakit defensive ka?" Lalong gugulo.

Ano'ng natutunan mo sa experience na yun?
May time na laging siya yung kinakampihan. Tine-text niya ako, minumura niya ako. Sabi niya, "Baguhan ka lang. Kaya kitang pabagsakin. Una, ipagkakalat ko sa buong Encantadia yung mga ginagawa mong kahihiyan." So, kinalat nga niya kahit di totoo. Sa staff, artists. Pangalawa, sa press. Siya ang nagkalat, eh. Sa lahat! Then, sa Artist Center, yung sa pinaka-boss na. Siya yung unang kinakampihan kasi nga masalita siya. Tapos na-save ko yung mga text niya, finorward ko kay Direk Rommel Gancho. Ayun, nakita na siya yung nang-aaway, hindi ako. Tapos nilagay sa press. Pero pinagalitan ako ng Artist Center kasi nag-send ako ng ganun. Nung time na yun, sobrang daming projects ni Jen. Siyempre mas kakampihan nila yung mas maraming projects. Mas kumikita sila dun. So ako, hindi nila ako ganun kakampihan kasi konti lang yung akin. Dun ko lang nalaman na ganun pala, pag marami kang kinikita sa isang artist, kakampihan ka kahit mali ka.

Sa issue ni Lovi, ganun din ba?
Ay, hindi. Ako na po yung kinampihan.

Dahil mas mataas ang kita mo kaysa sa kanya?
Ha-ha-ha! Hindi naman po.

Ngayon, okey na kayo ni Jen?
Dami niyang kaaway, eh. He-he-he. Bukod kay Alex (Alessandra de Rossi), madami. Wala na siya sa SOP kasi nga marami siyang kaaway dun. Iba ang ugali niya sa screen saka sa off-cam.

Nung magka-issue sila ni Alex, honestly sino'ng pinaniwalaan mo?
Si Alex.

Sa tingin mo, totoo kayang tinext niya si Jeremy [Marquez]?
Kasi, ganito po yun. Kilala naman po natin si Alex. Palaban talaga yun. Lalaban siya kung may rason siya, di ba? Meron naman daw siyang proof. Nakita naman, eh na nagte-text. At saka alam ko rin.

Nagsisisi ka ba na nag-artista ka?
Nung una, nagsisisi ako. Bakit pa'ko pumasok. pwede namang nanahimik na lang ako. Pumapasok na lang sa utak ko na siguro may reason si God kung bakit ako pumasok dito. +++

Marky Cielo sa "Ang Pinaka"

2006-11-20T04:49:00.000-08:00

Panelists on Marky:

MANNY VALERA: "Napakahardworking na bata. Napakagandang attitude and given that traits in him, I think dapat lang naman siyang gantimpalaan ng isang rewarding career."

DIREK RICO GUTIERREZ: "He is like the male Nora Aunor. Of course not the same stature right. But if you think about it, parang ganon. Extremes eh. At saka ang ganda din ng history niya sa Benguet. He is a natural, I think. Siya yung isa sa intelligent actor natin."

FREDDIE SANTOS: "Marky is really fantastic."

DIREK LOUIE IGNACIO: "Siya yung perfect winner. Magaling siyang umarte. Magaling sumayaw."

IDA HENARES: "Very good disposition si Marky. Maganda ang work attitude."

FREDDIE SANTOS: "Number one quality niya is singing and dancing. Pero sa akting siya sinasalpak. Pero kung mahahasa sana yung kanyang pag-aawit at pagsasayaw, wow! You can have a major star there. As in major star!"

IDA HENARES: "He is the good role model because clean living, and he practices that. He is wholesome and a good boy, responsible. Given some time, he can also develop into a very good actor."

DIREK LOUIE IGNACIO: "Never siyang nale-late sa kahit saang rehearsal. Very apologetic pag nagkakamali. Larawan siya ng isang artista na pwedeng ma-idolo ng maraming kabataan. Tuloy-tuloy, di malalaos yan. Practice lang, Marky, as usual sa pagsasalita mo nga lang. Pare-pareho naman kayong lahat."

DIREK RICO GUTIERREZ: "Panalo siya pero di siya goodlooking Pinoy, hindi siya tisoy, yun palang advantage na kasi iba ang look mo."

DIREK KHRYSS ADALIA: "Pwede siyang Bembol Roco ng ating panahon. Bembol is not gwapo naman pero naging character siya. Ang galing."

MANNY VALERA: "I know that in time he would be able to prove to one and all that he deserves a place in the industry."
