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.

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.”
