Angel Locsin binasted na ang ex ni Kaye Abad?

TOTONG wala na sa poder ni Becky Aguila si Angel Locsin.

Hindi na ito nag-renew ng kontrata sa kontrobersiyal na talent manager na nagpasikat kay Angel. Ang balita namin ay si Malou Santos, big boss ng Star Cinema, ang bagong manager ni Angel.

By the way, confirmed na ang “relasyon” ni Angel sa CNN Hero na si Efren Peñaflorida .

Patunay dito ang sa mariing pagtatanggol ng aktres kay Efren.

“Sa mga taong nanlalait kay Efren, sana ay ma-realize ninyo kung ano ang ginawa niya para sa sambayanang Pi-lipino,” say ni Angel.

So, basted na ba talaga ang masugid na nanliligaw kay Angel na si Chito Miranda, na lead vocalist ng bandang Parokya ni Edgar, na ang balita ay hiwalay na sa longtime GF nitong si Kaye Abad.

Judy Ann Santos' career in doldrums?

IT looks like Judy Ann Santos’ drama series “Habang May Buhay” would be aired for one season only because of its low ratings.

Some people are speculating that ABS-CBN decided to release the series to show Claudine Barretto, who has transferred to GMA7, that the network still has another star in Juday.

It is rumored that Juday’s comedy series with husband Ryan Agoncillo is also in danger allegedly not only due to poor ratings but to Ryan’s hosting “Eat Bulaga” which reportedly did not please ABS-CBN management.

With the perceived declining trend in Juday’s career, what could possibly be done to make it rise again?

Toni at Shaina, walang Valentine date

WALANG problema kay Shaina Magdayao kung si Andi Eigenmann ang napiling bida sa Agua Bendita na dati niyang pinagbidahan sa isang episode ng Komiks Presents.

Marami kasi ang nagtatanong kung bakit hindi siya ang kinuha ng ABS-CBN gayung siya na nga ang naunang gumawa nito.

“Ano ’yon, eh, saan ko ba ginawa ’yon? Two weekends lang yata ’yon, eh ganu’n naman talaga, episodic, eh. Well, I have to be happy for her. At least, nagagawa niya kung ano ang gusto niyang gawin sa buhay niya. Ah, ’yun lang po, congratulations,” sabi ni Shaina.

Hindi ba siya nanghinayang sa project na hindi sa kanya ibinigay?

“Wala ho akong mga ganyan. Siguro, more than anything, I just have to be thankful na meron pa rin ho akong trabaho, and ito ngang Rubi, so, malaki ho ang pasasalamat ko.

“Siguro instead of ’yung thinking nga na bakit ganyan, bakit ganito, mag-pasalamat na lang ako,” say niya.

As far as she’s concerned, hindi naman daw siya napapabayaan ng ABS-CBN. Kapipirma nga lang niya ulit ng two-year-contract at ito nga raw Rubi ang kanyang first project.

Before this, nagbida naman siya sa Kambal sa Uma, na katatapos lang, kaya, so far, hindi pa na-man siya nababakante.

Magsisimula ang Rubi sa Feb. 15 kaya sa Valentine’s Day, nagtatrabaho raw siya dahil may promo sila ng serye.

Wala rin naman daw siyang ka-Valentine dahil kabe-break lang nila ni John Prats.

Kung may show daw ang mga kaibigang sina Nikki Gil at Billy Crawford, baka manood na lang siya if ever na wala siyang trabaho.

Sa Rubi ay ginagampanan ni Shaina ang papel na pilay na anak nina Cherie Gil at Gardo Versoza. Magiging friend daw niya si Rubi (Angelica Panganiban) at sa umpisa, ipagtatanggol siya nito.

“Pero dahil nga bida-kontrabida si Rubi, later ay guguluhin niya ang buhay ko,” aniya.

Sa serye, mag-aagawan sila ni Angelica sa dalawang leading men na sina Jake Cuenca at Diether Ocampo.

Nakakatuwa lang na leading man na niya si Diet gayung noong bata pa siya ay kuya-kuya niya ito.

“Nakakatuwa, kasi makikita n’yo talaga na naggo-grow ’yung mga character na pino-portray ko. Na si Diet, kuya ko lang dati sa lahat ng mga show ko, ngayon, ka-partner ko na at ikakasal pa kami.

“Natutuwa ho ako kasi ito naman ho talaga ’yung matagal ko nang gusto. Matagal ko nang gustong mag-explore as an actress and kahit paano, mag-mature as an actress. And at the same time, happy rin ako kasi si Jake, na maraming nagkagusto sa team-up namin, parang follow-up project ’to, same with Angelica, na matagal ko nang kaibigan, so, talagang magaan sa set namin,” she said.

HINDI rin pala magse-celebrate si Toni Gonzaga at ang boyfriend niyang si Direk Paul Soriano ng Valentine’s Day dahil may trabaho rin ang TV host-actress.

Magtatapos kasi ang Pinoy Big Brother sa Feb. 13 at sa Feb. 14 naman, may reunion yata na gaganapin.

“Kung wala namang time ng 13, 14, 15, may ibang araw din naman. Saka ’pag sumabay kami sa 14, maraming tao, lahat lumalabas, so, ibang araw. Saka, hindi lang naman isang araw ang Valentine, puwede namang araw-araw, Valentine,” she said.

Naiintindihan daw ito ni Direk Paul dahil very understanding ang BF niya.

“Wala siyang reklamo, very mabait ’yon, good boy ’yon,” say ni Toni na natatawa.

Pangatlong Valentine na nila ito ni Direk Paul dahil three years na sila at natatandaan pa niya ang first Valentine nila na nag-dinner date raw sila sa isang classy restaurant sa Makati.

So, kelan naman sila ikakasal?

“Hindi pa, kasi may concert. Mag-concert muna,” say niya.

Toni is having a concert on Feb. 26 and 27 at the Music Museum titled Love is…Toni Gonzaga bilang part ng ASAP XV concert series at excited siya dahil first time niyang mag-show under ASAP production.

Alfie Lorenzo heart attack - Judy Ann Santos says condition is now stable

A rather unexpected event occurred yesterday. Renowned talent manager Alfie Lorenzo suffered a mild heart attack, thus instantly raising concern among all his closest friends and colleagues. And included in this worried bunch is no other than teleserye queen, and Tito Alfie’s very own talent, Judy Ann Santos.

Judy Ann happens to be one of the first people to know about Tito Alfie’s predicament. And upon learning the news around 6pm yesterday, she said that she instantly rushed to Capitol Medical Center to check on him. During the transfer to St. Luke’s Medical Center, she even opted to ride with him in the ambulance, so that she could personally tend on the needs of her beloved manager. Truly, she was worried of the old man’s condition. In an interview with SNN, she even shared how anxious she was to hear of the sad news. Utterly she said, “Nanlamig talaga ako. Tapos kasi syempre sa south pa ako nakatira, nagmadali talaga ako. And on the way I was making calls.”

Though it was in fact a nerve-wrecking experience, Judy Ann is very much thankful that Tito Alfie had surpassed the fretful incident. Now, she gladly tells everyone that the talent manager has shown positive responses to his treatments. With much delight she says, “Tito Alfie is now stable. He’s conscious, pero he’s still under observation. Series of tests na lang to know kung ano talaga ang problema. Pero, ‘yon nothing to worry about.”

Coco Martin denies Kris Aquino and Kim Chiu bullied him

Nilinaw ni Coco Martin na walang katotohanan ang mga bali-balitang nilalait umano siya nina Kris Aquino at Kim Chiu na mga kasamahan niya sa primetime teleserye Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo. “Alam mo naman ‘pag may show kanya-kanyang issue lang naman ‘yan,” simula ni Coco. Aniya, hindi raw niya alam kung saan nanggaling ang isyung ito dahil maganda umano ang samahan nila sa set. “Actually nagugulat nga ako nang lumabas ang isyu na ‘yon si Kris Aquino nga mismo niregaluhan ako nung Christmas ng jacket, saka lola ko niregaluhan niya kumbaga sabi ko nakakahiya [nang biglang lumabas ang isyu.]” Gayundin daw ang naramdaman niya para kay Kim na nadawit din sa isyu. Ani Coco, kahit pa si Kim ay niregaluhan siya noong Pasko.

Inamin naman ng indie actor na hindi siya masyadong madaldal sa set. “Kasi ako ‘pag nasa set mahiyain ako, eh. Hangga’t maaari hindi ako nagsasalita. Kumbaga nahihiya akong mag-approach,” kuwento niya.

Samantala, trabaho ang pagkakaabalahan ni Coco ngayong Valentine’s Day dahil wala rin naman siyang special someone ngayon. “Sobrang seryoso sa work ko. Ito kasi ang priority ko sa buhay ko, eh. Kumbaga eto na ‘yung time [ko.] Ang haba din naman ng pinagdaanan ko bago ako makapasok sa TV,” ani Coco.

Bukod sa Kung Tayo’y Magkalalayo, ipapalabas na rin ang Agimat: Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla Sr. featuring Tonyong Bayawak. Excited naman ang binata dahil for a change ay magiging light ang kanyang role dito.

Bea Alonzo speaks up about rumors linking John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao

Shaina Magdayao and John Prats’s recent breakup was allegedly caused by a third party, supposedly John Lloyd Cruz. In an article previously published on ABS-CBN.com, Shaina already denied that John Lloyd had any involvement in the breakup and insisted that she and the dramatic actor are just good friends. John Lloyd has yet to give his side of the story, but during the press conference of his new movie Miss You Like Crazy, his big screen leading lady Bea Alonzo, who happens to be Shaina’s best friend, was asked for her comment on this issue. Bea said that she has yet to have a serious talk with her best friend, and John Lloyd who was sitting beside her during the press conference only smiled as he listened to what she has to say.

“Kami ni Shaina we see each other sa ASAP pero hindi na kami masyadong nakakapagchikahan kasi walang time. Wala naman siyang nachichika sa akin na ganun (about John Lloyd). To be honest hindi pa kami nakakapag heart-to-heart talk ni Shaina. Kapag nagkikita kami tipong ‘hi-hello’ lang. Wala pa kaming malalimang usapan lalo na tungkol sa mga bagay na ganyan. I’ve always been happy for Shaina,” said Bea.

Bea didn’t seem to be bothered by this rumor since she focused her attention on her much awaited movie reunion with John Lloyd in Miss You Like Crazy instead. “Isang malaking factor kaya naging successful ‘yung love team namin ni John Lloyd is magaganda ‘yung mga materyal na nabibigay sa amin. Nagpapasalamat kami sa Star Cinema kasi talagang inaalagaan nila ‘yung love team namin, mula sa unang movie namin they make sure na lagi kaming may bagong ipinapakita. They always challenge us to go beyond our limits.”

In the eight years of being a love team, with numerous top-rating teleseryes and box-office films under their belt, Bea and John Lloyd have managed to maintain a good friendship. Bea explained that maybe it is not yet time for the two of them to have a romantic relationship. “Siguro maraming bagay lang sa mundo ang hindi dapat ipilit at hindi mo talaga maipipilit. In our case hindi namin kailangang ipilit na maging kami kung hindi naman talaga kami at hindi naman nangyayari ‘yung mga situation na kailangan naming ipilit na maging kami.”

Nevertheless, the 22-year-old actress admitted that she does find Lloydy a very attractive guy. “Attractive naman talaga si John Lloyd. Siguro 70% ng lahat ng mga Pilipina ginugustong makasama siya. ‘Yung 30% iba naman ang gusto, tipong sina Sam (Milby), Piolo (Pascual), Gerald (Anderson), ha ha ha! Pero hindi talaga kasi maipipilit e.”

Bea also talked about the love scene she had with John Lloyd in Miss You Like Crazy, which she rates as a “perfect ten.” “Sa naramdaman ko, ten nga siguro [on a scale of one to ten with ten being the highest]. Kasi naman ‘yun ang intensyon ng eksena, na lumabas na nararamdaman mo talaga. Kung gagawa ka ng kissing scene dapat talaga lumabas na makatotohanan. Dapat i-all out mo na para one take lang, ha ha ha!”

Toni Gonzaga, alam kung sino ang Big Winner

TODAY, February 6, is the final day of the search for the five finalists ng Pinoy Big Brother Double Up, Uber at PBB Double Up Uplate.

More or less, primetime edition host Toni Gonzaga already has an idea who among the six na naglalaban-laban will be evicted.

Somehow, may hula (repeat, hula) na rin siya who will emerge as Big Winner.

Kung sabagay, all we have to do is base it sa number of text votes na natatanggap ng bawat housemate tuwing eviction night.

But Toni, ever the proper tv host that she is, refused to divulge anything. Not even if it’s, wika nga, just her hunch.

“Naging close na ako sa halos lahat sa kanila during the contest. Kaya, each time may na-e-evict, parang parati akong nasasaktan.

“But then, one has to realize that this is a contest. Kaya, may natatalo, may nanalo,” aniya.

One who has conquered almost all forms of entertainment, aside from hosting, Toni also excels in dancing, singing and acting both on tv and film.

She also has a happy lovelife. She and boyfriend, director Paul Soriano, have been together for nearly four years.

They both hope to marry at the right time.

Part of ASAP’s circle of great performers, Toni is one of four singers who will stage a concert series this month.

“Pooh,” said Toni, “will open the concert series on February 19 and 20. His concert is titled My Poolish Heart.

“Mine, which is dubbed Love Is… Toni Gonzaga, is scheduled on February 26 and 27.

“Nina’s Soul Siren Nina, is set on March 5 and 6 at ’yung kay Christian Bautista, Christian Bautista: Romanced Revisited, will be on March 12 and 13.

“All these concerts will be held at the Music Museum.”

Meet the six competing housemates eyeing the top five slots: Paul Jake, Mariel, Johan, Melai, Jason and Tibo.

Paul Jake is a businessman from Cebu. From how his housemates talk about him, malalaman nating may kaya ang kanyang pamilya.

Ito nga raw ang dahilan why he can afford na ma-evict. He doesn’t need the prizes in store para sa mananalo.

Twenty-one-year-old Mariel is a single mom from Davao.

She hopes that her stint in the PBB house will help give her son a better future.

Mariel recently met the father of her son inside Kuya’s house.

Parang may magandang kaganapang naghihintay kay Mariel once she leaves Bahay ni Kuya.

Johan, meanwhile, was a StarStruck contestant on GMA-7 before he joined ABS-CBN’s PBB.

Hoping to really join showbiz and make it big, Johan resorted to hosting shows sa mga restaurant. He also served as a waiter at one point.

Inside Kuya’s house, Johan fell in love with fellow housemate, Cathy.

Cathy has already been evicted.

* * *

Melai, on the other hand, is the jester sa lahat ng housemates. Actually, it is her sense of humor which endears her to her fellow housemates...and Jason, especially.

PBB viewers also love Melai. Dahil wagi siya sa isang task ni Big Brother, sure na siyang kasama sa top five.

Sa Mindoro where he comes from, kilala si Jason bilang, wika nga, brawler.

He claims he is a lola’s boy. He had a tough life raw.

Inside Kuya’s house, Jason is loved not just by Melai and his fellow housemates, but by those who have followed his adventures and misadventures inside the PBB house.

Tibo admits he is the eldest in the group. But he is also “Mr. Responsibility.”

Walang task na ina-assign sa kanya na ’di niya buong pusong ginagampanan.

In real-life, Tibo is a devoted father and a family man. He is a police officer sa kanyang hometown.

John Lloyd hindi nagsalita tungkol kina Ruffa at Shaina

Walang nakuhang sagot kay John Lloyd Cruz tungkol sa kanila ni Shaina Magdayao. At least, ang ibang nag-interview. Hindi lang namin alam sa ibang nakausap niya sa presscon ng pelikula nilang Miss You Like Crazy ni Bea Alonzo na pagkatapos ng tatlong taon ay ngayon lang uli sila nagkasama sa pelikula.

Wala ring nakapagtanong tungkol sa totoong status nila ni Ruffa Gutierrez kahit na sabihing magkaibigan sila at isa sa nagmamalasakit sa kanya sa issue na nakikita siyang naglalasing sa mga bar.

Wala rin ang tungkol sa kuwento na sanay na ang mga waiter sa for Members Only Club at Fiamma Bar na makita siyang nakakatulog sa lamesa ng mga nasabing bar.

May ilan siyang sinagot na tanong pero indirect.

Anyway, hindi pa tapos ang shooting nila ng Miss You Like Crazy under Star Cinema. Sa Valen­tine daw, nasa Malaysia sila para kunan ang kabu­uan ng pelikula.
