Akting ni Dingdong sa My Beloved waging-wagi!

Hindi naman pala ang mga makakatambal ng kanyang boyfriend na si Dingdong Dantes ang dapat na katakutan ni Marian Rivera kundi maging ang mas maliliit na mga artista na maaring umagaw ng limelight sa kanya. Tulad na lamang nitong si Jennica Garcia na nahuli ko isang gabi makaraan ang Semana Santa, sa episode ng My Beloved kahapon, Abril 10 na nagbigay ng isang maganda at napakagandang portrayal ng kanyang role bilang kapatid ni Marian.

Matagal nawala sa limelight at hindi nabigyan ng proyekto ang panganay ni Jean Garcia pero sa halip na kalawangin ang talento sa pag-arte ay parang mas gumaling pa siya.

Isa pa ring rebelasyon sa serye si Dingdong Dantes na pagkatapos ng kanyang anti-hero role sa Segunda Mano ay parang nire-require na ang kanyang sarili na magbigay pa ng higit sa makakaya niya. At wagi siya sa kanyang pagganap bilang Benjie sa pinagsasamahan nilang serye ni Marian.

Jessica Sanchez reclaims top spot on 'Idol' ranking!s!

Filipino-Mexican-American contestant Jessica Sanchez has reclaimed the top spot on the “American Idol” rankings of a popular US magazine on Wednesday.

In its Top 7 Power Rankings published on its website, Entertainment Weekly magazine placed Sanchez at No. 1 after she slipped to No. 2 last week.

The article said Sanchez seems to be really determined to win the competition. “I THINK THIS GIRL WANTS IT TOO, RYAN!” it said in all caps.

Sanchez performed "How Will I Know" during the '80s week on “Idol.” This is the second time Sanchez picked a Whitney Houston song. She earlier sang her hit, "I Will Always Love You," which earned her a standing ovation.

Although she didn't get the judges up from their seats this time around, Sanchez still received positive comments for "How Will I Know."

She, however, earned another standing ovation from “Idol” judges with her duet with fellow contestant Joshua Ledet.

They performed "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me," originally sung by Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin and George Michael.

Meanwhile, at Entertainment Weekly’s No. 2 is Colton Dixon, who made a big leap from No. 5 last week.

Placing third is Ledet, who also went up from No. 4 last week. Skylar Laine was at No. 4 while Phillip Phillips, who previously held the top rank slipped to No. 5. He was followed by Elise Testone and Hollie Cavanagh, who is at the bottom.

For this week, the “Idol” contestants will perform songs from this decade – 2010, 2011 and 2012 -- with mentor Akon.

According to Entertainment Weekly, this should be a chance for Sanchez to “connect” on a current song of which she is "a legitimate fan."

After PBB, Joseph Emil Biggel wants to become a cop!

“Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited” (PBB) third placer Joseph Biggel is intent on finishing his criminology studies in the hopes of becoming a policeman someday.

On Day 151 of PBB, Biggel received a scholarship from the Philippine College of Criminology after he and his housemates accomplished a weekly task inside the Big Brother house.

While showbiz beckons, Biggel said he will prioritize his studies, but will not close doors to acting.

“Kaya ko naman po pagsabayin ang pag-aaral at showbiz. Kakayanin ko po,” he said on Wednesday during a press conference for the PBB Unlimited’s Big 4.

Biggel shared his great respect for policemen, saying he was inspired by them to tackle the challenges head on inside the famous house.

“Idol ko po talaga ang mga pulis. Ang taas po ng tingin ko sa kanila. Sila po ‘yung naging inspirasyon sa mga hamon ni Kuya (Big Brother), na kailangan ko maging matatag kasi magiging pulis ako, kasi 'pag pulis ka dapat matatag ka,” Biggel said.

On why he idolizes policemen, Biggel said that though there are ethically questionable officers, there are a great number who would sacrifice their life for the benefit of others.

“May mga pulis naman po na alam ko po sa puso ko na matitino, na handa ibuwis ang kanilang buhay para sa ating bayan – ‘yun po yung rason kung bakit iniidolo ko sila,” he said. “Kahit mabaril, kahit anumang oras, basta importante mapanatili pong mapayapa ang paligid.”

Aside from him accomplishments inside the PBB house, Biggel is intent on accomplishing a far larger “task.”

“[Gusto ko makapagtapos] para po balang araw ay may maipagmalaki rin po ako sa sarili ko, na ako si Biggel – pulis na may pinag-aralan, may nakamit sa buhay, nakapagtapos.”

Katrina ibinalandra na ang picture ng mala-pakwan na tiyan!

Hindi napigil si Direk Dominic Zapata sa pagkukuwento sa mga mangyayari sa My Beloved gaya nang tatalon ang istorya nito after seven years, may mga bagong karakter na papasok, may muling mamamatay, at may manganganak.

Sa week nine na mangyayari ang mga malalaking pagbabago sa My Beloved at kulang pa ang nasulat namin sa itaas. May magnanakaw na mahuhuli ng CCTV camera at kung anu-ano pa.

Kinausap na rin ni Direk Dom si Katrina Halili at na-assure ng aktres na hangga’t kailangan siya at hangga’t kaya ay patuloy siyang magti-taping ng My Beloved. Ibig sabihin, hindi totoo ang balitang nag-resign ito. Ang tsismis talaga! Ang ganda nang mangyayari sa karakter niyang si Emmie sa mga susunod na episodes.

Speaking of Katrina, pinoste nito ang picture niya sa Twitter na ipinakita ang laki ng tiyan sa 16 weeks na pagbubuntis. May nag-comment agad na babae ang ipinagbu-buntis nito dahil mala-watermelon ang paglaki ng tiyan, bukod pa sa ang ganda-ganda niyang buntis.

Sharon Cuneta walang pakialam sa mga nagmamalasakit sa kanya!

Bakit kaya ayaw iwan o isara ni Sharon Cuneta ang kanyang Twitter account eh obvious na talung-talo siya sa nagaganap na sagutan nila ng mga hindi niya kilalang tao?

Talung-talo ang isang may breeding sa walang habas magsalita ng hindi magaganda tungkol sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng Internet. Napipintasan pa siya sa sinasabi nilang pagbibintang niya sa mga taong tulad ng ex-boyfriend ng kanyang anak na patuloy namang nananahimik. Dahil dito, tama man siya o mali, siya ang nagdadala ng bigat ng sitwasyon.

Pakinggan mo ang mga nagmamalasakit sa iyo, Shawie. Walang kabutihang maidudulot sa iyo ang pagsagot sa mga bumabatikos sa Twitter. Pinagkakatuwaan ka lang nila. Paano naman, hindi sila kilala kaya hindi sila naapektuhan. Hindi tulad mo na kilala na’t may pangalan.

Shamcey Supsup ’di type ang magarbong kasalan!

Hanggang maaari ay gustong gawing pribado ni Shamcey Supsup ang kanyang buhay pag-ibig. Gusto kasing pangalagaan ng beauty queen ang kanilang relasyon ng businessman na si Lloyd Lee.

“I feel it’s something I can keep for myself. ’Yun na lang ang natitira na masasabi kong akin na lang, ’yung ganun. It’s usually hard for me being a public figure kasi I have a lot of friends, I’m really friendly, but then nung ang daming nakakakilala, ang daming nakakaalam, I felt I had to protect him,” pagtatapat ni Shamcey.

Aminado rin ang beauty queen na si Lloyd ang kauna-unahan niyang naging boyfriend.

“It was like the right timing that he came into my life. Siguro I really prayed for him, kumbaga specific ako sa prayer ko. I had my life planned out. I thought sa dreams ko lang, sa fantasy ko lang, parang I never thought na mangyayari,” nakangiting paglalahad pa ni Shamcey.

Hindi rin inaasahan ng dalaga na bibigyan siya ng espesyal na singsing ni Lloyd kamakailan.

“As in biglaan lang. supposedly he would have given me that after a date, after three days, four days, so parang ’di siya makapaghintay. Parang out of nowhere lang sabi niya, ‘This is for you.’ Hindi ko naman in-expect na agad-agad. We were just talking about it. So, akala ko ’di pa siya nakakabili, ’yun pala matagal na pala siyang nakabili,” natatawang kuwento pa ng beauty queen.


Hindi rin naghahangad ng magarbong kasal si Shamcey kung sakaling magpaplano na sila ni Lloyd na lumagay sa tahimik.

Angelica Panganiban open to working with Gretchen Barretto anew!

After a two-year break from soap operas, actress Angelica Panganiban said she is both excited and scared to shoot a TV series anew.

“Two years na ako hindi gumagawa ng soap, so medyo nakaka-excite na nakakatakot. Hindi ko alam kung ready na ako ulit mapagod nang ganoon. Iba ‘yung feeling [na] parang gusto mo ulit gawin,” she told ABS-CBN News.

Panganiban is set to star in her comeback soap with the working title “Mariposang Dagat,” which is rumored to also star actress Gretchen Barretto, who once had a feud with the young actress.

Following the cancellation of “Alta,” her planned TV project with Barretto, Panganiban said she welcomes the prospect of working with her former enemy.

Panganiban, whose last lead role in a soap opera was "Rubi," said she has yet to hear confirmation of Barretto also being part of “Mariposang Dagat” but added that she would have no problem with it.

“Hindi pa naman nasabi na kasama ko siya. Kung kasama siya, wala namang problema,” Panganiban said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.

Although it has been two years since she last appeared in a primetime soap, Panganiban has been busy hosting the comedy-variety show “Banana Split.”

She has also been working on several movies for Star Cinema.

Her latest project, “Every Breath U Take,” which pairs her with actor Piolo Pascual, will be released on May 16.

On her leading man for the film, Panganiban said she already feels comfortable after having starred in several projects together.

“Excited [na ako sa pelikula namin ni Piolo], sobra. Nakakatuwa naman, at masaya syempre. Ang-tagal namin ginawa ‘yung movie, so in a way nakakalungkot din kasi sobrang bonded na kaming lahat, tapos parang patapos na,” she said. “Syempre si Piolo, kasi ilang beses ko na nakatrabaho, medyo mas comfotrable na ako.”

Panganiban is currently shooting another movie for talent management firm Star Magic's 20th anniversary, this time with John Lloyd Cruz.

Panganiban and Cruz previously starred together in the TV series “Maging Sino Ka Man” in 2007.

“Sa movie, iba [katrabo si John Lloyd] eh. Sabi ko nga, grabe nakaka-excite sa trabaho. Ang sarap,” Panganiban said. “[Na-discover ko] kung gaano siya ka-professional, sobra, para siyang ‘di napapagod, parang automatic siya. Grabe ang passion niya sa trabaho.”

“I’d like to thank ABS for everything you’ve done. You are a big part of who I am today and I’m very appreciative of that. Thanks and best wishes,” Ramsay said in his official Twitter account.

On Tuesday, the actor signed an exclusive, three-year contract with the No. 3 network.

No figures were announced, although sources from TV5 and ABS-CBN said before Tuesday’s announcement that the contract was worth P500 million for five years.

Ramsay’s transfer to the Manuel V. Pangilinan-led network was first confirmed by ABS-CBN in a statement on April 2.

“For months, ABS-CBN has exerted efforts to make him stay as a Kapamilya. TV5, however, offered him an amount that was difficult for him to refuse,” Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications, said in the statement.

Anja Aguilar bagong pasisikatin ng Viva!

Bet na bet ni Boss Vic del Rosario ang bagong alaga nila na si Anja Aguilar. “Itataya ko ang pa­ngalan ko rito,” sabi ni Boss Vic.

Potential multi media superstar ang ‘prediction’ ng big boss ng Viva Group of Companies kay Anja na champion sa Little Big Star, ang dating singing contest para sa mga bata sa ABS-CBN, hosted by Sarah Geronimo.

“Hindi ko sasayangin ang oras ko rito kung wala akong nakikitang potential sa kanya. Sa kantahan, kayo na ang mag-judge. Ang galing. Sa aktingan, subok na ‘yan, mga walong beses na siyang nag-guest sa Maalaala Mo Kaya,” katuwiran ni Boss Vic na kilalang may ‘third eye’ pagdating sa mga kung sino ang sisikat at hindi.

Bata pa lang ay suki na rin si Anja sa mga singing contest kung saan-saang barangay kaya naman hasang-hasa na ang boses niya.

Hanggang manalo nga siya sa Little Big Star. Pumasok sa AMA Compu­ter School bilang scholar na part ng premyo niya bilang winner sa nasabing singing­ contest sa TV na pinagmulan din ni Sam Concepcion, hanggang ipinakilala ng taga-AMA kay Boss Vic.

“Nakita kong paano siya kumanta kaya nga nasa ASAP na siya,” dagdag ni Boss Vic na pinaka-in demand na manager sa kasalukuyan bilang galing sa kanilang kumpanya ang malalaking artista sa kasalukuyan tulad nina Sarah Geronimo, Anne Curtis, at marami pang iba.

Kaya naman agad siyang binigyan ng solo album ng Viva na magkakaroon ng launching next week.

Karamihan sa 10 kantang kasama sa kanyang self titled album ay original. Kasama sa mga nagsulat ng mga kanta sina Vehnne Saturno at ang hitmaker na si Christian Martinez.

-PSN


May sampung kanta sa album – To Reach You, I Love You, Nasaan ang Pangako, When, ‘Di Bale na Lang, Ako Pasa Sa ‘Yo, Magic of Love, Ako, I Love You (Minus One), and To Reach You (minus One).

Carrier single ang To Reach You na madalas marinig sa mga FM radio station.

Nineteen years old lang si Anja.

Direk Wenn's comedic genius at work in Moron 5 and a Crying Lady!


Only box-office director and comedic genius Wenn Deramas could cook up a movie like this.

In Moron 5 and a Crying Lady, co-produced by Viva Films and MVP Pictures, direk Wenn is back in tip-top form, putting in harness his creative (yes, wacky!) mind that has produced blockbuster comedies like Petrang Kabayo and Praybeyt Benjamin.

Despite its title (that might be inspired by the popular band whose name sounds like it), the movie is hardly a musical.

Scripted by Mel del Rosario, Moron 5 and a Crying Lady is about five half-witted friends happily going with the flow of life until they are wrongly accused of killing the father of a Crying Lady.

Playing the Moron 5 are Luis Manzano, Billy Crawford, Marvin Agustin, Martin Escudero and DJ Durano, with John “Sweet” Lapus as the Crying Lady.

The five friends are aptly named: Luis plays Albert (Einstein?), Billy is Isaac (Newton?), Marvin is Aristotle (you know who), Martin is Michaelangelo (yes, “the one”) and DJ is Mozart (who else but “him”!).

Moron 5 is the first movie together of buddies Luis and Billy who have proven their mettle as TV hosts (Pilipinas Got Talent, etc.) and, they agreed, “We had fun from the start of the shoot to the finish.” It’s Billy’s first time to act in a comedy film and, although he’s more known as a singer, he said he realized that he could be a good actor. He’s set to leave for Europe to resume his rudely-interrupted career as a pop star there and might be back in July.

Luis has worked with direk Wenn, perhaps the only director who succeeded in making Luis bare his butt (in Who’s That Girl, with Anne Curtis as leading lady).

“This movie can draw more laughs than my previous movies ever did,” said direk Wenn.

In one scene, the Moron 5 does a macho dance. In another, during their escape from prison, they disguise themselves as Madame Auring (Billy), a Bombay 5-6 lender (Marvin), an old driver (Luis), a taho vendor (DJ) and a BB Gandanghari-type (Martin).

Moron 5 and a Crying Lady is a great upper after the gloom of Lent, opening in more than 100 theaters nationwide on Black Saturday, April 7.

Sharon Cuneta hits Twitter bashers!

Nabulabog ang Twitter world nang umalma na si Megastar Sharon Cuneta sa mga negatibong komento laban sa kanya gamit ang nasabing microblogging site.

Mula pa noong nakaraang linggo ay wala nang tigil ang aktres sa pagdepensa sa mga panirang-puri laban sa kanya at sa anak na si KC Concepcion. Maliban sa pagyurak sa kanyang pagkatao, ikinagalit ni Sharon ang isyung "abortionista" sila ni KC.

“Akusahan kayo ng anak mong abortionista tapos huwag ko patulan? Ano hahayaan ko pang ikalat nila? Sobra mga ‘yan. Mga bastos at walang modo. Dudumi ng bibig at pagkatao. Gawain siguro nila,” ani Sharon.

Suspetsa ni Sharon, die-hard fans ng aktor na si Piolo Pascual, dating nobyo ni KC ang mga basher niya sa Twitter.

“Kung hindi Kapamilya die-hard, maka-Piolo lang. Wala namang galit sa amin na ibang tao,” sabi ni Mega sa isa niyang follower. Dahil sa sama ng loob, halos ibunyag na ni Sharon ang dahilan ng hiwalayan ni KC at Piolo. “Since you won't stop bashing me and my daughter and it's all the same to you -- maybe it's time I talk and tell the whole REAL story. Okay? Tutal pareho lang eh. Tahimik kami bash kayo ng bash. Eh di kami naman kaya!"

Sa mga tweet ni Megastar, inilabas din nito ang sama ng loob dahil sa hindi pag-depensa ng binatang aktor sa lahat ng banat kay KC ng kanyang mga fans.

“KC never did anything to hurt him. He hurt her. And yes, we KNOW his fans are bashing her. We never start, we just react. Be careful. Nananahimik pa kami sa lagay na yan. Tama na kasi we should all just move on.”

“He can't say anything about KC [because] he has nothing he can say. He's a ‘gentleman’ for his image, not necessarily [because] he doesn't want to hurt anybody. Let's be honest and fair here. If no one bashes us, we couldn't care less about his life [because] we've moved on. Kawawa naman ang anak ko. ‘Di nga nagsasalita siPiolo, but his army of bashers do all the dirty work for him. We're not bad people. But neither are we stupid."

Sa loob nang dalawang araw, pansamantalang nanahimik si Sharon sa Twitter, pero nitong Miyerkules ng gabi, muling nag-tweet si Sharon. Aniya, bumalik siya sa Twitter para sundin ang pangako niya sa Diyos na magti-tweet siya ng Bible verses.

Ilang artista naman tulad nila Robin Padilla at Judy Ann Santos ang dumipensa din kay Sharon at nakiusap na huwag gamitin ang Twitter para makapanira ng tao.

Eugene Domingo says 'Kimmy Dora 2' is halfway done!

Award-winning actress Eugene Domingo is thrilled with the progress of the shoot for the sequel of her smash hit movie "Kimmy Dora."

In an interview during the Gawad Tanglaw awarding ceremonies, Domingo said the filming for "Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kyeme," the second installment in her starrer series, is halfway done.

"Nangangalahati na kami, at nakapanood na kami ng kaunting mga rushes and we are very, very happy," she said. "We are very excited. It think it's worth the wait. Abangan po ninyo. Ang sarap gawin. Tamang tama ang pagbabalik."

Parts of "Kimmy Dora" were previously shot in Korea. Movie director Joyce Bernal had earlier said that the much-awaited sequel will be a horror-comedy film.

‘I Do Bidoo Bidoo’

Domingo is also excited for the mid-year release of musical film “I Do Bidoo Bidoo,” where she will star with singer Ogie Alcasid.

“Kwelang-kwela at kengkoy na kengkoy kami ni Ogie Alcasid. My God, he’s so talented. Hindi ko talaga masisisi si Songbird (Regine Velasquez-Alcasid) bakit siya nahumaling dun kay Ogie Alcasid eh,” she said.

“Talaga naman kay liit-liit na tao, ang husay-husay. At saka nakakatuwa kasama – isa ‘yun sa mga aabangan niyo sa ‘I Do Bidoo Bidoo’ from Unitel, ang musical movie featuring all the popular songs of Apo Hiking Society.”

Best actress

“I Do Bidoo Bidoo” won’t be Domingo’s first foray into doing a musical on the big screen. She previously sang in parts of critically acclaimed film “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank,” for which she won the best actress trophy from award-giving body Gawad Tanglaw.

“Ang lapit-lapit nila sa puso ko (Gawad Tanglaw), kasi dito po ako unang nabigyan ng medalya bilang best supporting actress sa pelikulang ‘Pisay’ at ‘Foster Child.’ Naka-tie ko yung sarili ko,” she said.

“At ngayon binigyan naman nila ako ng recognition bilang best actress para sa ‘Babae sa Septic Tank’ for their 10th year. I won’t miss it for the world.”

Jessica Sanchez now part of 'Idol' Top 10!

Filipino-Mexican Jessica Sanchez survived the second elimination round of "American Idol Season 11" even after failing to impress the show's judges.

On Thursday (Friday morning in Manila), "American Idol" announced that Sanchez is now one of the top 10 finalists who will be part of the show's Season 11 tour.

Other finalists include Joshua Ledet, Philip Phillips, Skylar Laine, Colton Dixon, Deandre Brackensick, Hollie Cavanagh, Heejun Han, Elise Testone and Erika Van Pelt.

Shannon Magrane was eliminated from the show.

On Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), Sanchez failed to impress the show's judges -- Randy Jackson, Steve Tyler and Jennifer Lopez -- with her rendition of Gloria Estefan's "Turn the Beat Around."

Both Jackson and Tyler advised Sanchez to be careful in choosing her songs.

"I don't think you should stray too far from that [ballads]," Tyler said. "The rhythm that you sang with the song was just a little shady. But again, I love your voice, and they do, too."

Sanchez, for her part, admitted that she had a hard time picking a song for this week.

"I'm actually glad that they gave me some [criticism] because I know I'm not perfect. I need that to step up my game. Hopefully if I'm here next week, I can do that, take their criticism and work on it," she said.

She also thanked Filipinos for their support.

"Thank you guys for all the support and love. I hope I can visit the Philippines one day. You guys are amazing!" Sanchez said. --

Jose Manalo denies wife's allegations!

Comedian and television host Jose Manalo has categorically denied the allegations of his wife, Anna Lyn, that he has an extra-marital affair.

An official statement released on Tuesday said Manalo “shall address the same at the proper forum at the appropriate time. “

The statement said Manalo is “saddened by Anna Lyn's decision to resort to media interviews” because it “shall compromise their efforts at a mutually-acceptable resolution of their differences and, more importantly, shall not be in the best interests of their children.”

Manalo also maintained that he continues to provide for his children, contrary to allegations of neglect and financial support.

Anna Lyn has filed a complaint against her husband at the Office of the City Prosecutor in San Juan on February 27, before appearing on “The Buzz.”

In her complaint affidavit, Anna Lyn alleged that she and her children have suffered from verbal and emotional abuse.

The couple have five children, while Jose has two more children from a second marriage. Anna Lyn said all seven children are now with her.

Anna Lyn said the verbal abuse and insults started in the second half of 2011 amid rumors that Jose was having a "sexual relationship" with a member of popular dance group.

Ann Lyn also claimed that Manalo's tirades against her were committed even in the presence of their children.

The Office of the City Prosecutor in San Juan has set the preliminary investigation on the complaint on March 14 and March 21.

Below is the full statement of Manalo:

Jose is currently encountering difficult challenges in his relationship with Anna Lyn. He is, thus, deeply saddened by Anna Lyn's decision to resort to media interviews when she is fully aware that such decision shall compromise their efforts at a mutually-acceptable resolution of their differences and, more importantly, shall not be in the best interests of their children.

Jose has received a copy of Anna Lyn's Complaint-Affidavit for violation of Republic Act No. 9262 and has referred the same to his lawyers for proper action. He has been advised by his lawyers to refrain from commenting thereon in the meantime. Jose has not been advised of any other action filed by Anna Lyn against him.

Jose categorically denies Anna Lyn's unfounded statements regarding an alleged extra-marital affair and shall address the same at the proper forum at the appropriate time.

Jose likewise categorically denies any allegation of neglect, financial or otherwise, as regards his children with Anna Lyn, the truth being that he is providing, and will continue to provide his children, such support to the best of his ability.

At present, Jose, in loving consideration of Anna Lyn and their children, is exerting his best efforts to refrain from resorting to any legal action against Anna Lyn in connection with various incidents involving him and other acts where even his own parents were offended and prejudiced by Anna Lyn. As the matter ultimately involves his family, Jose requests the media to allow him and Anna Lyn some measure of privacy in order that they may be able to resolve the same out of the public eye.
