Claudine Barretto topbills 'Jewel in the Palace' remake?

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:59:00 +0000

Ex-kapamilya now proud kapuso Claudine Barretto is gearing up for new projects on her new mother studio.

It was first reported here that the Optimum Star will topbill a Maalaala Mo Kaya-type of show. It seems that GMA really want to put up a show that would match the quality and prestige of the long-running ABS-CBN drama anthology.

But the latest buzz from the Kapuso network is it will remake the phenomenal Korean drama series Jewel in the Palace.

The newly transferred Claudine Barretto is reported to portray the lead role Jang-geum which was originally played by Korean Megastar Lee Young Ae.

This is indeed a very huge project.

But is it really appropriate to remake a show about a foreign culture? Will GMA Network transform the series into a Filipino version?

Quite challenging for the creative people of GMA, but with the network's track record of bringing epic shows like Encantadia and Atlantika I think they could be able to pull off a decent remake.

'Full House' fails to beat 'Dahil May Isang Ikaw' in Mega Manila (November 27 to December 2, 2009; AGB Nielsen)

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:44:00 +0000

Mega Manila is still dominated by GMA but ABS-CBN has been slowly inching the gap in the primetime block.

The rise of ABS-CBN shows has been sudden with May Bukas Pa inching closely with Mega Manila's toprater Darna.

But Lovers in Paris remained ABS-CBN's weakpoint, as it rated lower than shows in later timeslots like Dahil May Isang Ikaw and PBB Double Up.

Full House which got premiered last Monday failed to keep up with the high expectations as it failed to topple the dominance of Dahil May Isang Ikaw. What is more hurting, pre-primetime show Ikaw Sana even rated higher than Full House.

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:02:00 +0000

Currently one of the world's biggest pop stars, Rihanna's popularity can also be attributed to her controversial personal life specifically pertaining to ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

But the popstar is also known for her trendy fashion taste.

After being physically abused by her RnB singer boyfriend, I mean EX boyfriend, Rihanna showed the world her new look. Bad ass girl!!! It's a like a statement. Her fashion resembles that of a shoutout.

And her new hair shouts for women emancipation, of standing up and fight violence and abuse. The singer sported the hair as she rocked Times Square with an appearance on Good Morning America.

Devon Aoki's body is a hot beach body

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:33:00 +0000

I first saw her on DOA: Dead or Alive. A fiery hot Asian chic, Devon Aoki is a successful catwalk diva even though she only stands 5'4", a height unheard in the modeling world.

Though lacking with height, this Japanese American model and actress has a body to die for. She's very sexy.

That kind of body needs to be flaunted, especially on the beach. Christmas is coming and one way of celebrating the holidays is retreating from all the stress and go the paradise, one of which is Myrtle Beach Resort.

I heard several celebrities went there to relax and enjoy.

Myrtle Beach Accommodations include several ammenities like golf, sailing, theatre and other exciting adventures.

Myrtle Beach Resort is a perfect getaway for families and for couples who just want to take a break and chill.

Alec Baldwin is quitting TV?

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:57:00 +0000

It's quite saddening to hear the news of 30 Rock actor Alec Baldwin is planning to quit the showbizness and acting --- that means, he will also quit playing his award winning role in the most awarded TV show in the history of Emmy's.

"I don't have any interest in acting anymore," Alec Baldwin, 51, tells the December issue of "Men's Journal."

"I consider my entire movie career a complete failure," he added. "The goal of movie-making is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that.Every movie I've ever been in, I just avoid."

Why quit? Many of my relatives in the US with Direct Satellite TV love Alec and his show 30 Rock with Tina Fey. The show was hilarious and his acting is by far better than most of the actors in highly rated sitcoms in network TV.

When my relatives announced they are spending the summer here in the Philippines, I asked them to bring me recorded episodes of 30 Rock on DirectTV, so that I could watch it and write some review.

After watching, no wonder he won the Best Actor in the comedy category several times. He and Tina got chemistry and great comic timing.

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:48:00 +0000

During the 21st Advertising Congress, TV5's new owner and chairman Manny Pangilinan of the PLDT-SMART corporate giant presented the upcoming business strategy of the no. 3 network. It was observed that the said strategy resembles that of the two competing media giants --- ABS-CBN and GMA Network.

In the Ad Congress, Mr. Pangilinan laid out the following plans and goals for TV5:

* Beef up their news department five times bigger than it is now, and not only come out with new shows.

* Develop their own talents.

* Put up their own film division and produce more movies than the combined output of the two leading networks now.

TV5 is now powered by MediaQuest, the investee company of PLDT's Beneficial Trust Fund that first launched mobile TV in the country with MyTV, as well as PLDT's Watchpad and Smart's Sandbox. It also owns Cignal, the first digital direct to home satellite service with high definition nationwide.

How come ABS-CBN didn't stop Claudine Barretto in transferring?

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:33:00 +0000

For years, Claudine Barretto has been considered as the biggest star of ABS-CBN's talent arm Star Magic.

With strings of hit TV shows and blockbuster films under her belt, Claudine Baretto reigned and competed against other ABS-CBN talents Judy Ann Santos and Kristine Hermosa for the primetime throne.

A big star as she is, who oh why ABS-CBN did not offer Claudine Barretto a show to stop her from jumping the ship like what they gave Judy Ann Santos (a sitcom George and Cecil)?

Does the network believe Claudine Barretto is not a hot item anymore? Or is this part of the ABS-CBN's budget scrimping campaign since Ms. Barretto's talent fee is way higher than stars like Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson?

ABS-CBN crowns Judy Ann Santos as Teleserye Queen: Do you agree?

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:06:00 +0000

Just after the sudden transfer of Claudine Baretto to GMA Network, Judy Ann Santos was left as the sole unofficial queen of the Kapamilya network.

But in a TV plug released by ABS-CBN for its new primetime offering Habang May Buhay topbilled by Santos, the network declared that the young Superstar is indeed the Queen of Philippine Soap Opera, popularly known as teleserye, as well as the unofficial declaration that the actress is also the Queen of the network.

This is also in time with the network's celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Philippine Soap Opera. This is the genre which ABS-CBN holds the distinction of producing the country's most popular, highly acclaimed and internationally marketed serials.

With this actions, do you agree with ABS-CBN for giving Judy Ann Santos the Teleserye Queen crown?

Will the 'Full House' remake match the original?

kcentral89@gmail.com (SHELU89) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:55:00 +0000

This is the last week of GMA's low rated primetime teleserye Rosalinda and the Kapuso Network slated the return of Richard Gutierrez and Heart Evangelista in primetime this Monday as Full House will replace the vacated slot of the Mexicanovela remake.

Heart and Richard already paired in the successful sci-fi drama Codename: Asero. After their brief team up, Richard was paired with Rhian Ramos in the Philippine adaptation of Zorro while Heart successfully reigned in primetime via her title role Luna Mystika.

Full House marks the reunion of GMA's Primetime King and the 2009 FAMAS Best Actress.

But the question is...will Richard and Heart live up to the high expectations of viewers from them, especially that Full House was the highest rated Korean seris aired in the country.

Will the two lead stars match the original Full House, if not surpass the comic and the "kilig" moments?

Let's just see. But my fingers are crossing! I'm a fan of the Korean seris, and I'm hoping that GMA would stick to the core conpcept of the series and not again over-Filipinize the said material.
