TV5 expense P200M for Willing Willie

ANYTIME soon, mapapanood na ang Willing Willie sa TV5.

Kaya naman todo na ang ginagawang paghahanda ni Willie Revillame at kanyang staff, dancers, costume designers at lahat ng staff na sumama sa mula sa dati ni-yang show.

Balitang tumataginting na P200 milyon na ang nagagastos ng TV5 para lalong pagandahin ang set at studio ng Willing Willie.

Talagang kailangang pag-handaan ang bagong game portions ng show ni Willie to live up sa expectations at demands na rin ng contestants, para mas high tech ang mga gamit at hindi second class, ’di ba?

Nagpakita na rin ng suporta kay Willie ang mga umalis na trabahador sa ABS-CBN at piniling sumama sa kanya.

Ilan sa mga ito ang mga labandera ng kanilang costumes, choreographer, make-up artist, dancers at iba pang mga tauhan niya na umaasa kay Kuya Willie.

Sa kabila ng mga intriga at isyung kinakaharap ni Wil-lie sa ngayon, positibo pa rin ang TV host na malalampasan niya ang mga ito, lalo na ang mahigit P400-M kontra-demanda ng ABS-CBN sa kanya.

Buo ang suporta ng TV5 Chairman na si Mr. Manny V. Pangilinan kay Willie at hindi raw nito iniiwan ang bagong talent sa gitna ng laban.

Ang Willing Willie ay co-produced mismo ni Wil-lie at ng TV5.

Isa ito sa pinakamala-king shows ng Kapatid Network na bubuksan bago matapos ang taon.

Kaya masasabing luma-lawak na ang coverage ng Kapatid Network lalo pa’t ayon sa AGB Nielsen survey, pumapangalawa na ito sa GMA7 bilang top station sa Mega Manila.

Komento tuloy ng ibang manonood, ano pa kaya kapag nagsimula nang humataw ang Willing Willie, tiyak na ang pag-angat ng show kasabay ng TV5.

Mariel Rodriguez bad influence to Robin?

MORE negative stories are coming out concerning Mariel Rodriguez. It’s said she’s the source of the story that a top matinee idol visited Zanjoe Marudo in his home and it so happened she passed by Zanjoe’s pad so she saw for herself that the top actor was there. It’s said this is the reason why Mariel broke up with Zanjoe.

Another story says Mariel is convincing husband Robin Padilla to leave manager Betchay Vidanes, who’s now in Australia to accompany Binoe’s son Ali in his trip back to his mom, and to transfer to her own manager, Boy Abunda. Mariel has denied both stories but it’s said more revelations are coming from her former co-workers in “Wowowee” and “Pilipinas Win na Win.” A Mariel defender says it could be that those who spread these lies about her are just envious of her. “Kasi si Mariel ang nagustuhan ni Robin at hindi sila kaya sinisiraan siya ngayon dahil sa inggit.”

Robin and Mariel - Married in India

In a scene from The King & I, an exasperated Yul Brynner throws his hands up and exclaims, “It’s a puzzlement!”

Isn’t that what we all want to do with the case of Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez --- throw our collective hands up and roar, “They’re a puzzlement!”?

Review the sequence of events:

• On May 15, Robin met Mariel when he guest-hosted Wowowee while main host Willie Revillame was suspended. They eventually matched. Robin was free from wife Liezel Sicangco who remarried two years ago after their divorce while Mariel had just broken up with Zanjoe Marudo.

• On Aug. 7, Robin gave Mariel an engagement ring said to be worth P1.2-M (but jewelry experts said only P750,000) during Mariel’s birthday celebration on the ABS-CBN Saturday show E-Live! in which she’s a co-host.

• On Aug. 9, Robin quit the new ABS-CBN show Pilipinas Win na Win (PWNW) and flew to India for the duration of Ramadan (Aug. 8 to Sept. 15). Mariel also quit.

• On Aug. 17, Mariel followed Robin to India (purposely for Robin to bring her to the Taj Mahal in Agra).

• On Sept. 16, the sweethearts were reported to have gotten married in Ibaloi rites in Baguio.

Controversy ensued.

Why would Robin, a devout Muslim, marry in Ibaloi rites?

“There was no wedding at all,” said Robin.

The Ibaloi man who officiated at the ceremony insisted that it was a wedding with the rituals of an Ibaloi wedding strictly observed. Robin’s manager Betchay Vidanes herself said a wedding took place. Mariel’s lola, former LVN starlet May Villarica, said that she and other relatives were the last to know. Mariel’s lolo said that when Mariel asked him if an Irogot wedding was okay, he quoted Mariel as saying, “Tapos na po.”

“Robin just wanted to show me the culture of Igorots of which his mom (Eva Cariño) is a descendant,” said Mariel. “He wanted to show me parts of the Igorot culture.”

The film clips showed Robin and Mariel in Igorot costume doing the Igorot courtship dance.

“It was a war dance,” said Mariel, “not a courtship dance. We didn’t tell a lie,” even if pictures and video clips show the opposite.

A pig was slain for the ceremony. Muslims consider pigs
dirty that’s why they don’t eat pork.

“But I didn’t eat the pig,” said Robin.

Caught in a fix, Robin was forced to confess that, yes, he and Mariel got married in Muslim rites in India on Aug. 19.

Defending Robin, his elderly Ibaloi relative said that there was no wedding and the mambulong (native priest who officiated at the ceremony) was fake. Other relatives said that the Ibaloi ceremony was an engagement. But how come the wedding (in India) came before the engagement?

Robin said that a bigger wedding, in Catholic rites this time, will happen soon and members of both their families will be duly notified and invited.

Now, is the whole charade part of a reality-TV ABS-CBN is reportedly preparing for Robin and Mariel? As usual, ABS-CBN guys are tight-lipped as they always are in controversial situations like this.

For some enlightenment, Funfare decided to ask the opinion of Muslim lawyer Adel Tamano who is married to Rowena Kapunan, a Catholic. (Paging ABS-CBN, GMA and TV5 people: Adel has quit as head of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod Maynila when he ran for senator in last May’s election and he’s now back in law practice, and he’s amenable to working as a newscaster. I would say that Adel is highly-qualified.)

Adel said that he and Rowena, also a lawyer, were married in civil rites, Muslim rites and Catholic rites.

Are Muslims reminded not to engage in sex during the Ramadan?

“There’s no such prohibition,” said Adel. “You are not supposed to have sex from sun-up to sundown, but out of that period it’s up to the couple if they want to.”

In the Ibaloi rites for Robin and Mariel, a pig was slain (according to Ibaloi tradition).

“Nagulat ako,” said Adel. “We Muslims consider pigs dirty, that’s why we don’t eat pork. But the slain pig in (the Ibaloi ceremony) ay maliit na bagay para gawing issue.”

Now that Robin and Mariel are married (even if they deny it), can Robin have three more wives if he wants to?

“Why not? But he must get Mariel’s consent.”

Still and all, Adel said that he salutes Robin for his being a champion of Muslims and the faith.

“Sincerong Muslim siya,” said Adel. “He’s a real Muslim in the sense that he’s what a real Muslim should be, determined to help his fellow Muslims.”

Anytime now, Robin and Mariel are flying to India --- to continue their “interrupted” honeymoon? According to Robin, they had to put it on hold because Mariel had to take care of his children Kylie and Ali (the boy left last Monday for Australia to join mom Liezel) and Mariel got sick.

Meanwhile, let’s enjoy the ‘joyride” with the “newly-weds” while it lasts.

ABS-CBN files P486-million counterclaim against Willie

ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. sued yesterday television host Willie Revillame for P486 million before a Quezon City court for allegedly violating his employment contract.

ABS-CBN counsel Austo San Pedro
asked Judge Luisito Cortez of Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 84 to order Revillame to pay P20 million each for moral and exemplary damages and attorneys’ fees and other costs of litigation.

The television network wants Revillame to pay the amount of P426,917,646.96 as liquidated damages for violating his contract.

ABS-CBN filed the counterclaim in answer to the P11.5-million damage and rescission of contract which Revillame had filed.

Leonard de Vera, Revillame’s counsel, said his client’s suspension with pay and probation are allegedly valid grounds to terminate his contract because these were provided for in the agreement.

In reply, ABS-CBN asked the court to dismiss Revillame’s complaint because he has no cause of action to claim moral damages, exemplary damages and attorney’s fees as it was Revillame who materially breached his obligations under the agreement.

ABS-CBN said Revillame’s alleged violation of his contract included his outburst while the transfer of the late President Corazon Aquino’s remains from the Manila Cathedral to Manila Memorial Park was being broadcast live in an inset during the television show Wowowee.

“Under the Standard Terms and Conditions of the Agreement, among others, Revillame must conduct himself with due regard, not bring himself to public disrepute and perform any act which may jeopardize the success of Wowowee or defendant ABS-CBN and be adverse to its interests,” read the ABS-CBN counterclaim.

Revillame also violated his contract with public criticisms of radio host Jobert Sucaldito and network management in the May 4, 2010 episode of the noontime show, ABS-CBN added.

The network said Revillame was prevented from engaging in activities adverse to ABS-CBN and from using the program to make public criticisms or disagreements with the network.

Revillame also took an unauthorized leave of absence and refused to perform his obligation as talent despite the existence of his contract, ABS-CBN added.

The network asked the court to compel Revillame “to comply in good faith” with his obligations under the contract and enjoin him and those acting or contracting with him from doing any act that would result in or allow him to create or perform work similar to the work under the agreement.

Revillame must also refrain from engaging in activities which are adverse to the interests of ABS-CBN and to appear or use his name, voice or likeness, directly or indirectly, for promoting any product or service in print, radio or television or any form of advertisements in this regard, ABS-CBN added.

Toni Gonzaga fed up with Mariel

Marami ang hindi nakakaalam na matagal na palang may gap sina Mariel Rodriguez at Toni Gonzaga pero hindi nasusulat simply because pareho silang nananahimik tungkol dito.

Pero kahapon, sa presscon ng Kokey @Ako ay nabuksan ang isyung ito nang may magtanong kay Toni kung okay na sila ni Mariel at dito na nagsimulang maurirat ng entertainment press ang buong pangyayari.

Unang sagot ni Toni ay hindi pa sila nagkakausap at ayaw na raw niya itong pag-usapan.
Hindi ba niya binati si Mariel nun’g b-day nito?

“Binati ko, pero hanggang doon na lang. Tapos na, eh. Maigi na ’yung ganito, tapos na, ayoko na. Kung anuman ’yung mga narinig ko, kung ano ’yung mga nalaman ko, akin na lang ’yun. Huwag n’yo na siyang tanungin sa akin kasi ayoko na,” pahayag ni Toni.
Siyempre ay hindi naman nakontento ang press sa sagot ni Toni kaya nasundan nang nasundan ang mga tanong. Someone asked kung dahil ba ito sa pelikulang pagsasamahan sana nila ni Robin Padilla na boyfriend ngayon ni Mariel at kung ang action star ba ang dahilan ng pagkakaroon nila ng samaan ng loob.

“Wala akong problema kay Robin, hindi ito tungkol sa pelikula,” paglilinaw ni Toni.
So, ano talaga ang nangyari?

“Hmm, alam naman niya (Mariel) siguro ang ginawa niya, ’yung mga nangyari, ayoko nang i-elaborate, basta bahala na lang sila, Kung ide-deny at iko-confirm. Basta ako, ang importante sa akin, marunong akong magpahalaga ng mga tao sa buhay ko at hindi ako…ayoko na, kasi ’pag sinabi ko, alam n’yo na.”

Ayon kay Toni ay medyo matagal-tagal na ang nangyari (sa kuwenta ng press base sa sagot niya ay mga two months ago), bago pa man daw pumasok si Robin sa buhay ni Mariel. Kaya paulit-ulit niyang nilinaw na walang kinalaman si Binoe dito.

Since then ay hindi pa ba sila nagkausap ni Mariel?

“Nagkausap pero may klinaro lang ako, may nilinaw, tapos, tapos na. Inaayos ko lang, tinatama ko lang kung ano ang narinig.”

May dapat bang pagselosan si Mariel sa kanya?

“Hindi, hindi naman issue ’yung selos-selos, walang kinalaman ang selos. Iba ’yung sa akin. Malalim yung sa akin kaya ayoko na ring i-share kasi lalaki pa, sabihin pa, idinadamay or kung ano, kasi ang dali-dali naming i-deny ang lahat ng bagay, so huwag na lang.”

Hindi rin masagot ni Toni kung mababalik pa ang dating closeness nila ni Mariel pero base sa mga kilos at sagot niya ay mukhang masakit pa rin sa kanya ang nangyari.
“Siyempre, hindi ko naman sasabihin na tapos na ang lahat kung hindi ako nasaktan ’di ba? Ganito na lang siguro. Ako kasi... naku, nagpatulong na nga ako kay Direk Wenn (Deramas, direktor niya sa Kokey @ Ako), kasi hindi ko kaya ’to, sabi ko, kung bakit ganu’n yung narinig ko, ’yung mga nakarating sa akin.

“Actually, laking pasasalamat ko nga na dahil sa isang proyektong hindi natuloy, may mga nadiskubre akong mga bagay-bagay na nakapagpa-realize sa akin kung sino ’yung mga totoong tao sa buhay ko and ginamit siguro ni Lord din na way ’yun para ma-realize ko kung sino ang dapat kong pagkatiwalaan. So, ayun na lang siguro, bahala na kayo.”

Nilinaw din ni Toni na wala siyang issue sa trabaho at hindi lang daw galing sa isang tao ’yung mga bagay na nalaman niya kungdi may iba pang taong involved.
“Basta tama ‘yung sinabi sa akin ni Direk Wenn na mag-ingat ako sa mga taong hindi ko kilala pero siguro sa panahon ngayon, mas mag-ingat ka daw sa mga taong kilala mo.”

Ipinagpapasalamat din ni Toni na wala pang next Pinoy Big Brother at next year pa raw kaya may time siya para mag-heal since magkasama sila ni Mariel sa nasabing show.
“August pa by next year ang next PBB at hindi pa natin alam kung ano ang susunod na mangyayari. Ah, magpapalipas lang ako siguro ng mga sama ng loob, ng mga ... actually, malalim, eh, so time will heal the wounds, so kailangan ko ng time and I need this time kaya nagte-thank you ako na wala munang PBB kasi kailangan ko ng time.”

Pero kung magso-sorry ba si Mariel ay tatanggapin niya?

“Sana, dumating ’yung point na ’yun. Ako naman, madaling kausap. Pero hindi ko na hinihintay ’yun.”

Basta ani Toni, ayaw na raw niyang pag-usapan pa ang nangyari.

“Basta ’yung tungkol du’n sa issue na ’yun, ayoko na. Paso na ako.”

Samantala, magsisimula na ang Kokey @ Ako on Sept. 20 (Monday) befofe TV Patrol at kasama rin dito si Vhong Navarro bilang leading lady ni Toni, at ang Melason na sina Mel Cantiveros at Jayson Francisco.

Sarah and John Lloyd back in each other's arms

DATI ay hindi masagot ni Sarah Geronimo kung kai-lan sila magsasama ulit sa pelikula ni John Lloyd Cruz. Pero nang makausap namin siya last Saturday sa launching ng bago niyang endorsement na Superstar, isang on-line singing audition kung saan ang mapalad na magwawagi ay makakasama ni Sarah sa kanyang concert at gagawa pa sila ng album together, iba na ang kanyang dialogue.

“Baka po next year,” sagot niya sa tanong kung kailan sila ulit gagawa ng movie ni Loydie

“Wala naman po akong sinabi na hindi na kami magkakatrabaho ulit. Ang sabi ko lang po noon, sana huwag muna ngayon. Pero kung maayos po ang schedule ko, baka po next year.”

Hindi raw si Lloydie ang tinanggihan niya kundi ang hectic na schedule niya ngayon kaya malabong makagawa sila ng pelikula ng controversial actor.

Tungkol naman sa balitang paglipat niya sa TV5, na alam na natin ngayon na hindi totoo dahil nag-renew na siya ng another one year contract sa Dos, ayon kay Sarah kumalat ang tsikang lilipat siya dahil sa nego-sasyong nangyari sa pagitan ng kanyang manager na si Vic del Rosario at TV5 na isasa-ere ang lahat ng concerts ni Sarah sa Kapatid Network. Sa nasabing nego-sasyon, wala raw siyang alam dahil ang manager lang niya ang nakipag-deal sa TV5. Hindi rin alam ni Sarah kung gaano katagal ta-takbo sa TV5 ang kanyang concerts dahil hindi pa rin daw niya nakakausap ang kanyang manager.

Tungkol naman sa bago niyang endorsement na Superstar, naitanong namin sa kanya kung hindi ba mag-kakaroon ito ng conflict sa iniendorso niyang videoke microphone.

“Wala naman pong conflict, kasi ‘yun naman po ay mikropono, literal na mikropono. Ito naman ay on-line singing audition sa Internet through Superstar.”

Sa nasabing on-line singing audition star search, 15 finalists ang pipiliin at ang mga ito ang magkakaroon ng pagkakataon na makasama sa concert at makapag-recording kasama ang kanilang iniidolong si Sarah. Para malaman ang audition venue at schedule, check the Superstar website at www.superstar.ph.

Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales: Meant for each other

The paths of Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales were destined to cross and they couldn’t do otherwise, very much like the characters they’re playing in I Do, the latest feel-good romance-drama from Star Cinema, The Home of Wholesome Family-Oriented Entertainment.

Enchong never dreamed of becoming an actor, not even if his older brother, AJ Dee, was already striving to make a name for himself in the intrigue-laden showbiz.

A champion swimmer, Enchong revealed that all he dreamed is to be an Olympian. But fate had something else in store for him.

The Dees moved to Naga City where his father was assigned as a salesman for United Laboratories. The brothers, including Ice, were excellent in sports and that’s how they got scholarships — AJ in Ateneo de Naga, Enchong at La Salle Greenhills and Ice at La Salle St. Benilde.

Said the Dee matriarch, Tess Dee, “We were not rich and we couldn’t possibly afford to send our children to those expensive schools. But thanks to sports, they became scholars.”

Representing La Salle in swimming events, Enchong soon made a name for himself. In 2005, he won a silver medal in the 23rd Southeast Asian Games held in Manila. He and AJ guested on the ABS-CBN show Boy & Kris and then Enchong appeared in wet jeans in a pictorial for The Philippine STAR with the swimming teams of La Salle and Ateneo. That’s how talent manager Keren Pascual discovered him for showbiz in 2006.

Like Enchong, Erich aspired for something away from showbiz but destiny led her to showbiz, too. Erich joined and won the ABS-CBN talent-search show Star Circle Quest and her world was never the same again.

Soon, the paths of Enchong and Erich would meet.

The two were cast in the early evening soap Katorse, inspired by the 1980s Regal flick starring Dina Bonnevie, Albert Martinez and the late Alfie Anido, and their team-up got a nod from televiewers as well as that of the ABS-CBN management. Due to popular demand, the two were paired again in another soap, Tanging Yaman, followed by the current top-rated classy soap Magkaribal.

After their first big-screen team-up in the indie film Paano Ko Sasabihin (in which they play deaf-mute lovers), Enchong and Erich are back on the big screen in I Do. Directed by Veronica Velasco from her own screenplay (in collaboration with Jinky Laurel), I Do is the story of two young people who find great love in each other despite their contrasting backgrounds. Their beautiful plan to exchange “I do’s” is hampered by obstacles, including Erich’s character’s unexpected pregnancy and the objection of Enchong character’s family to the relationship.

The kind of romance-drama with which lovers of all ages can identify, I Do also stars Dennis Padilla, Janus del Prado and Nash Aguas. Pokwang is featured in a special participation while Pinoy Big Brother graduate Melai Cantiveros is being introduced. Also starring are Ricardo Cepeda, Isay Alvarez, Jun Urbano, Eliza Pineda, Alwyn Uytingco, Jane Oneiza, Allyson Lualhati, Che Ramos and Joyce So.

Aiza Seguerra gusto nang magbuntis

BALITANG gusto nang magbuntis ni Aiza Seguerra sa pamamagitan ng artificial insemination.

Nais na raw kasi niyang ng bigyan ng apo ang kanyang inang si Mommy Ca-ring na matagal nang humihiling sa kanya ng apo.

Wala na kasing inaalaga-ang bata sa kanilang bahay si Mommy Caring dahil ma-laki na rin ang inampon nilang kapatid ni Aiza.

Matagal nang pinag-iisipan ito ni Aiza at finally ay nakapagdesisyon na siyang magpabuntis.

Tutal gusto na raw maranasan ni Aiza na maging ina. At ang artificial inse-mination ang gusto niyang paraan para mabuntis.

Kung one of these days ay makita n’yong buntis si Aiza, ’yon ay dahil sa si-yensya at ‘di dahil sa paki-kipag-sex sa lalaki.

Ano kayang hitsura ni Aiza kapag buntis? Ang cute sigurong tingnan na naka-maternity dress ang maga-ling na singer na umamin nang siya ay isang ‘lalaki.’ Nagpapasalamat din ka-mi kina Mommy Caring at Aiza nang pumayag ito sa paanyaya namin na dumalo sa kapistahan at pagtulong sa pag-endorso sa pagtakbo ni Kagawad Robert Pangilinan.

Yeng Constantino – Jeepney Love Story Lyrics, Video

Yeng Constantino – ‘Jeepney Love Story’ Music Video Featuring Ivan Dorschner.


Jeepney Love Story – Lyrics:

Sumakay ako sa jeepney
Ikaw ang nakatabi
Di makapaniwala

Parang may hiwagang nadama
Nang tumama sa’yo
Ang aking mga mata

At nagsiksikan na
Dahil tumigil ang jeepney
Sa tapat ng eskuwela

Biglang nagkadikit
Puso ko’y biglang sumikip
At natulala

Sabi nila’y walang hiwaga
Kung wala’y
Ano itong nadarama

Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta
Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang pumara

Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na ahhh
Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko
Ayoko nang pumara sana di na huminto
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na
Kung ikaw ang kasama
(Adlib)

At may biglang sumingit
Natiempo pa sa’ting gitna
Sumimangot tuloy
Ang aking mukha

Mabuti nalang nagbayad yung ale
Sabi nya paabot naman
Nagkadahilan ako
Para ika’y tignan

Nung iaabot ang bayad
Kamay mo na palang nakaabang
Pambihira diba swerte ko naman

Sabi nila’y walang pag-ibig
Kung wala’y
Ba’t kumakaba itong dibdib

Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta
Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na ahhh
Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko
Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na
Kung ikaw ang kasama

Manong driver
Wag mo nang ibalik ang sukli ko
Manong driver
Di mo ba alam walang babaan to
Drive lang po ng drive
Wag niyong hihinto
Kahit sa’n mapadpad
Kahit lumipad man tayo
Minsan lang madama
Ang ganito

Pero bigla mong
Hinila ang tali
Sabi mo
“Manong bababa ako sandali”

Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta
Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na ahhh
Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko
Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na

Ayoko nang pumara kahit san mapunta
Ayoko nang pumara kung ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na ahhh
Ayoko nang pumara kahit san pa lumiko
Ayoko nang pumara sana din a huminto
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko nang pumara
Ayoko na
Kung ikaw ang kasama

Sharon Cuneta to host 'The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition'

Masaya si Sharon Cuneta na humarap sa press last Thursday para sa presscon ng kanyang tatlong bagong shows sa Kapamilya network, pero hindi pa rin niya mapigilang maluha nang ipakita na ang teaser ng The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition dahil nakaka-relate siya sa mga ipinakitang obese contestants.

Sobrang na-touch si Sharon dahil naiintindihan daw niya ang nararamdaman ng mga contestant.

“Talaga namang dumating din ako sa ang taba ko, ’di ba? I think naging confident din akong tanggapin (ang paghu-host ng The Biggest Loser) kasi I’ve lost 20 lbs. na and I’m continuing ’coz I wanna tackle different roles again kasi nali-limit ako ng weight ko, eh.

“Masyado akong na-relax, kasi siguro, kuntento na ako sa buhay, pero now, it becomes a matter of wanting to be healthy also for your children.

“So, tinanggap ko ito na ang isip ko, ‘hindi, by the time na lumabas ’to, nakaka-inspire na tayo ng tao’,” pahayag ni Mega.

Early next year pa kasi ipalalabas ang The Biggest Loser and by that time, baka mas malaki na ang na-lose niyang weight.

“Ako, I can really empathize with them. I can’t even reach half of the weight ng ibang kasali na napili pero ’yung mga kuwento, it was so touching.

“Nu’ng nag-audition sila, they were 600, and ’yung iba raw nag-iiyakan kasi ngayon lang sila naka-feel na hindi sila dyina-judge, na marami raw palang katulad nila, and tandaan n’yo, they all went there for one reason — gusto nilang matutunan kung paano magpapayat. Kasi they’re very concerned about their health also, so, nararamdaman ko ’yon.”

Ang dalawa pang shows ni Mega na ilo-launch ay ang Star Power, isang singing search for the next female pop superstar na iere on October 10 (10-10-10) sa Channel 2 at ang Sharon at Home naman on the Lifestyle Network on Sept. 16, 6:30 p.m.

Natanong kay Sharon kung aware ba siya na may isang show din na magsisimula sa 10-10-10 at anang Megastar, “Puwede mo sabihin sa akin (kung anong show). Alam ng Panginoon, hindi ko alam 'yan. Baka hindi important to me."

Nang sabihin sa kanyang show ni Willie Revillame ’yon sa TV5, bulalas ni Shawie, "Ay, talaga naman. Talagang hindi ko alam ’yan."

Para naman kasing pinagtiyap, nagkaroon ng sama ng loob si Sharon kay Willie nang sabihin ng TV host-comedian on air sa Wowowee noon na hindi siya isasakay sa yate dahil baka lumubog.

Bale ba, bago napag-usapan si Willie, nabanggit ni Sharon na hindi raw siya nagtatanim ng sama ng loob sa mga taong tumutukso sa kanyang weight.

Nang maalala niya ang kanyang statement earlier, sinabi niyang, "Hindi, iba naman kasi ’yung tukso sa bastos, so, lalo ’pag mahal mo. ’Pag mahal ko, naa-affect ako. Kasi feeling ko, sayang naman ’yung effort ko i-love.

“Pero, wala akong tinutukoy na tao. Positive tayo. Happy thoughts. ’Yun lang,” say niyang natatawa.

“Pero ’pag mahal ko, masakit sa akin. Pero pasasaan ba, ’pag nagkausap naman kayo, ’di ba?” dugtong niya.

Tungkol sa posibleng pagtatapat nila ng show ni Willie, Sharon asked, “Gabi ba siya? Okay lang, eh, wala, ako’y hamak na starlet lang.

“Basta sa show ko, puro positive. Wholesome. Saka, lahat kami du’n talagang mga performer kami. Alam namin ang itinuturo namin sa mga bata,

“’Yun lang, pinagmalalaki po ng Star Power. Wala po akong pinatatamaan, lilinawin ko lang. Kasi ako didiretsuhin ko ’yan, hindi ako nagpapatama,” say niya sabay tawa.

“Gusto ko lang ma-love ulit ng mga hindi ako na-love pansamantala kahit wala naman akong ginagawa.

“So, 10-10-10, gusto kong sabihing ‘good luck,’ pero usually, ang sinasabi ko, ‘God bless.’ Okay lang ’yon. Ni-lift up ko na (kay Lord), ngayon lang.
“No, seriously, I’m sure, magkaiba naman (ang show nila ni Willie), so, depende na lang sa audience ’yon,” dagdag pa ni Mega.

After the Q&A, natanong pa ulit si Sharon ng ibang press about Willie at ito lang ang nasabi niya: “Kay Willlie, basta, minahal ko siya at na-hurt ako. ’Yun, sasabihin ko ’yon.

“Saka, hindi pa kami nakapag-usap. Pero siguro, gusto ko rin siyang makausap,” say niya at saka napabungisngis.

May chance ba na mabalik ’yung dati nilang closeness?

“Ay, hindi naman ako walanghiya,” pagtatapos niya.

Gary V's shows at Music Museum

On the heels of his collaboration with Martin Nievera in their successful AS 1 concert series, Gary Valenciano opens the final quarter of the year with a series of special concerts at the Music Museum on Sept. 16, 17, 22, 23, 29 and 30 titled Gary V: Soul In Motion.

It should be noted that this is Gary V’s first series of solo, full-length concerts since Live At 25 several years ago. Through his production outfit, GV Production and his management company, Manila Genesis Entertainment and Management, Inc., Gary will work with writer, actor and director Freddie Santos for the concert series’ script and direction. Gary and Freddie have collaborated together in Could You Be Messiah (lyrics by Freddie and music by Gary himself) as well as several other concerts that Gary has done in the past and Soul In Motion is a reunion for the two artists.

Three groups will be beneficiaries of the concert series. They are Compassion 2 One, an international advocacy group dedicated to creating heightened awareness for the plight of the victims of human trafficking both here and abroad; the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), of which Gary has been a long-time Ambassador of Goodwill; and The Shining Light Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides scholarships to poor but deserving children as well as medical aid to indigent families.

Because the groups involved in the concert series all champion the rights of children and also help focus attention on the suffering of victims of human trafficking (of which most are children), Soul In Motion is Gary’s battle cry for everyone to stand up and fight for all children and all those who have been oppressed by the hideous acts of a perverted generation. The concert will be another package of fun and relevance for all the Gary V fans wanting to see him perform again.

Joining Gary is Duncan Ramos with surprise guests. Gary V: Soul In Motion is supported by ABS-CBN, The Philippine Star, Lee, Glucontrol, Gold’s Gym, Astoria Plaza, McDonald’s, Videosonic, A.S.A.P. XV, Twist & Shout, Myx, Universal Records, Business World, Essensuals, Studio V., Jam 88.3, Wave 89.1, Magic 89.9, 99.5 RT, WOW 103.5, RX 93.1, Crossover 105.1, U92 and Moose Gear.

For details, check out www.garyv.com and Facebook fanpage: Gary Valenciano — Mr. Pure Energy. Call TicketWorld at 891-9999, Music Museum at 721-6726, or visit www.musicmuseum.com.ph for ticket inquiries.

Enchong Dee and his victim settled

In fairness to Enchong Dee, hindi naman pala niya tinakbuhan ’yung lalaking diumano’y naipit ng sasakyan niya ang paa habang ito’y nakasakay sa jeep.

Nagpa-interview kasi sa Paparazzi kamakailan ang lalaki at inireklamo si Enchong na hindi na raw nagpakita pa sa kanya matapos siyang dalhin sa hospital gayung hindi pa raw siya magaling.

Hindi alam ng lalaki na naospital din si Enchong sa sakit na dengue kaya hindi na rin nito nalaman ang kalagayan niya matapos ang aksidente.

Nang malamang nagpa-interview ang lalaki, nagpaliwanag naman kaagad sa isang interview si Enchong na hindi niya pinabayaan ang naaksidente dahil dinala pa nga niya sa hospital considering na hindi naman niya kasalanan kung bakit nadale ang paa nito na nakalitaw sa estribo ng jeep.

Aminado si Enchong na medyo masama ang loob niya sa guy dahil kinailangan pa nitong magpa-interview.

Pero ang good news, malambot din naman ang puso ng young actor dahil kahit siniraan na siya ng lalaki, nakipag-ayos pa rin siya.

In fact, dinala pa niya ito ulit sa hospital para ipagamot.

Natutuwa naman daw ang TV5 na sila ang naging instrumento ng pagkakaayos ng dalawa.

Kung hindi raw kasi nagpa-interview ang lalaki, hindi makararating kay Enchong ang daing nito.

Willie has a new game show

THIS balita is fresh from the oven, wika nga, and it still needs confirmation, although matindi ang bulung-bulungan sa apat na sulok ng showbiz na yes, any moment now, Willie host his own game program sa isang yet undisclosed channel.

Ang sabi, mismong sarili niyang produksyon, Wil Productions, ang magpu-produce nito.

Untitled pa as of this writing ang programa, pero may ilang episodes na raw (repeat, raw!) na itini-tape in preparation for its formal launch na i-a-announce din naman properly and officially one of these days.

Maliban sa ilang dating kasamahan sa Wowowee na kanyang na-‘recruit,’ wika nga, walang isa man sa kanyang dating co-hosts ang mapapanood sa bagong show ni Willie.

“It will clearly be a new game show in all aspects,” dugtong pa ng aming informant. “Na si Willie mismo ang nag-conceptualize kaya siya lang at ang kanyang sisimulang programa ang may karapatang gumamit nito.”

DZMM tops radio-TV ratings

DZMM continues with its winning ways after ruling the latest radio and cable TV ratings to be the No. 1 AM radio station and cable news channel in the country.

DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 topped all AM radio stations in the June 2010 Nielsen Mega Manila RAM with an audience share of 29 percent, seven points higher than DZBB (22 percent) and nine points ahead DZRH (20 percent).

Its TV counterpart, DZMM TeleRadyo also ruled the competition as the top cable news channel in the July 2010 Kantar Media-TNS survey for all cabled households surpassing CNN, BBC, Fox News and Channel News Asia.

DZMM hopes to continue its winning streak as a top contender for the People’s Choice Award for Best AM Station in the coming KBP Golden Dove Awards. To vote for DZMM, just text GDOV MLA AM2 and send to 2948.

“Being the first in news, the first in public service and also the first in the hearts of radio listeners and cable TV viewers motivates us more to improve our service to Filipinos worldwide,” said ABS-CBN Manila Radio Division head Peter Musngi.

He credits DZMM’s success in the ratings to its exclusive and extensive coverage of the recent news events, its public service efforts, and its hit combination of anchors led by the tandem of Pinky Webb and Ted Failon of the primetime news and commentary program Tambalang Failon at Webb.

Webb joins Failon in the crucial task of dissecting and explaining the biggest news and issues in the nation every morning.

Failon, meanwhile, is very confident that he and Webb can further strengthen the program to address the evolving needs of their listeners and viewers.

Making another hit tandem in DZMM are Lynda Jumilla and Alvin Elchico of the recently-launched nightly program S.R.O. (Suhestiyon, Reaksyon, Opinyon).

Aside from the chance to voice out their thoughts on current issues, fans of the show also tune in to catch interesting bits of information and trivia on the local politics scene from the two veteran reporters.

James Yap ayaw mag-comment

Dumating na si James Yap kahapon ng umaga galing Los Angeles, California.

Tipid na tipid ang mga sagot nito sa kung ano ang plano niya pagkatapos ng ilang linggong bakasyon sa Amerika.

“No comment” lang ang sagot niya nang hiningan namin ng reaksiyon tungkol kina Kris Aquino at Makati Mayor Junjun Binay.

Wala siyang alam sa mga balita rito na nagkita sa isang mall sina Kris at Mayor Binay at tinanong ni Baby James si Kris kung boyfriend na ba niya si Mayor Binay.

Ang tanging nasabi lang ni James ay magmi-miting pa raw sila ng abogado niya ngayong araw at magsisimula na rin daw siyang mag-practice.

Gary V. nagalit sa nangyari kina Annabelle at Angeli

Sobrang enjoy si Gary Valenciano sa pagko-co-host ng Twist & Shout ng ABS-CBN at okay sa kanya kung mai-extend ito, pero ang alam niya, one season lang ang show nila ni Martin Nievera at magtatapos na sa November.

Dahil sa show, malaki ang na-improve sa Ta­galog ni Gary V. at hindi na siya nagbabakel bang­gitin ang mahihirap na Tagalog words. Ibang ex­citement din ang bigay sa kanila ni Martin sa pagho-host ng show.

Pinaghahandaan ni Gary ang provincial tour ng AS 1 nila ni Martin at may series of shows siya sa Music Museum billed Soul in Motion. Happy si Mr. Pure Energy dahil katulong niya sa pag-aareglo ng ibang kanta ang anak na si Gab Va­­lenciano at guests sina Paolo at Kiana Va­lenciano.

Samantala, pinasalamatan ni Gary ang media dahil hindi na pinalaki ang conflict nina Annabelle Ra­ma at wife niyang si Angeli Pangilinan-Valen­ciano sa birthday party ni Ogie Alcasid. Kahit hindi naging maganda ang pagkikita nina Annabelle at Angeli, thankful ang singer na okay na ang misis niya at si Ruffa Gutierrez.

“Nagalit ako sa nangyari dahil kundi ako nagalit, anong klaseng asawa ako? I respect Tito Eddie (Gutierrez) at kahit ’di pa kami nagkakausap ni Tita Annabelle, in my heart, okay na kami. Sana, hindi na lang maulit,” sabi ni Gary V.

Toni's entry in 'The Buzz' irks sister

Painit nang painit ang Juicy na hino-host nina Cristy Fermin, IC Mendoza, Alex Gonzaga at DJ Mo Twister, isama pa si Shalala sa kanyang mga blind items na talaga namang nagiging kontrobersyal kaya naman from 45 minutes ay ginawa na itong isang oras ngayon.

Nang makausap nga namin si Alex, tinanong namin siya kung nakukuwentuhan ba siya ng ate niyang si Toni Gonzaga ng mga issues sa mga artista, partikular na ng ABS-CBN.

“Hindi naman, tinatanong nga ng mga artista ang mommy ko kung siya ba ang nagkukwento kasi bakit daw namin nalalaman,” natatawang say ni Alex.

Basta raw sinabihan daw siya ng ate niya na huwag nang makisali sa mga opi-opinyon ng hosts para hindi magalit sa kanya ang mga artista.

“Dati pa niya ako sinabihan na kung ayaw ko lang maging host at gusto mo ring mag-artista, ’wag ka muna mang-away at huwag kang magre-react na parang may alam ka sa showbiz, bata ka pa, wala ka pang ganu’ng ka-authority. Eh si IC naman, Inday Badiday at Dolly Ann Carvajal (ang pasaporte kung baga), linya niya talaga ’yun, eh.

“Eh ako, mahirap po, saka minsan, kaibigan ng ate ko (ang ibinabalita nila), so, nakaka-ano,” say ni Alex.

So far, wala pa namang nagagalit sa kanyang artista?

“’Yung pinaka-dati lang, ’yung fans ni Kim (Chiu), ’yun lang, pero wala na. ’Yung fans nga ng Melason, binigyan pa nila ako ng cake, kasi, pinagtanggol ko raw sila.”

Pinatanong nga raw niya sa ate niya kung nagagalit sa kanya si Pokwang na as we all know ay may away ngayon with Nanay Cristy at say naman daw ng komedyana kay Toni ay hindi naman daw siya galit kay Alex.

Aminado si Alex na medyo nainis daw siya nang malaman niyang magiging part ng The Buzz ang ate niya.

“Kasi katapat ng BF-GF (show ni Alex sa TV-5). Sabi ko, ‘ate, ’yung mga fans mo, sa ’yo na manonood’. Sabi niya, ‘kita ko, conflict of interest ka, pumapasok na sa isip mo, dapat maging masaya ka para sa kapatid mo’. Sabi ko, sorry, masaya na ako para sa ’yo.”

Actually, magkatapat din ang variety show nila every Sunday na ASAP XV ng ABS-CBN kung saan kasama si Toni at ang PO5 ng TV5 kung saan part din naman si Alex.

Pero ang nanay daw nilang si Mommy Pinty ang nalilito kung aling channel ang panonoorin.

“Dalawa talaga ang TV na pinapanooran niya, isang PO5 at isang ASAP. Tapos pag uuwi ako, tatanungin ko, ‘mommy, napanood mo?’ Oo, sasabihin niya. Tapos, ang ate ko ’pag darating, ‘mommy, napanood mo?’

“Pero nahihirapan din si mommy, kapag napanood niya ang ate ko, hindi niya ako mapapanood, kaya kung minsan, alternate, ganu’n.”

Pero hindi naman daw issue sa bahay nila ’yun at never naman daw siyang nagtampo kung may pagkakataong sa ate niya naka-focus ang parents niya.

“Kung minsan kasi, mas malaki ’yung mga nagiging issue ng ate ko, so kung ’yun lagi ang pinag-uusapan sa bahay, okay lang. At saka, kunyari, malaki talaga prod (production number) niya, kung magho-hosting lang naman ako, okay lang na siya ang panoorin ng mommy ko. At saka ‘yung launch ng The Buzz, okay lang na doon manood si mommy. Wala pong issue kasi, dalawa na nga lang kaming magkapatid, eh.”

Enjoy na enjoy naman si Alex sa kanyang ginagawa at puring-puri siya ng mga staff ng Juicy dahil napaka-witty rin daw nito just like her sister.

Starting Monday, mapapanood na ang Juicy from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at sa gabi naman ay may replays from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Napapanood ang nasabing talk show Mondays thru Fridays.

* * *

Si IC Mendoza naman ay nagkaroon ng issue kay Jake Cuenca nang minsang i-blind item niya ang aktor sa Juicy na nakita niya ito sa bar at may kasamang babae.

“Tapos po, tsinika (kinausap) niya ako na parang “sana naman, IC, huwag naman araw-araw tirahin kasi, we’re friends naman”.

Ginagawa lang daw niya ’yung paglalabas kasi wala siyang trabaho, kasi ’pag may trabaho naman daw siya, sa bahay lang siya. Reward daw niya sa sarili niya ’yun.

“So, sabi ko, sige next time, sa next intriga mo, I’ll ask you kung totoo ba. ’Yun din ang mali ko, hindi ko tinanong. Pero ang point du’n, huwag ka na sanang gumawa ng karumal-dumal kapag nasa labas, huwag sa public syempre. ’Yun lang naman ang point ko sa kanya.

“Ako naman, hindi ko ire-retract ang istorya ko, syempre. Pero after na nag-usap kami, okay na kami, magkasama rin kasi kami sa indi film na HIV na showing na on November,” kuwento ni IC.

Kris Aquino On date issue to Mayor Binay: 'Not true'

Sa kanyang tweet, itinanggi ni Kris Aquino ang na-report na nakita silang magkasama ni Makati City Mayor Junjun Binay sa isang resto sa Glorietta.

Sabi ng actress-TV host: “I tweeted Monday about watching a movie w/ Vice Ganda while the kids watched Cats & Dogs.

“I was told may story that Mayor Jun2 Binay and me were malling together in Glorietta. Super not true — we just saw each other sa entrance near Tony Roma.”

Samantala, malapit nang simulan ni Kris ang shooting ng Dalaw, entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival na siya ang bida at co-producer together with Deo Endrinal.

Sa September 8 na raw ang storycon at sa Sept. 15 ang first shooting day.

Nakita namin si Direk Jerry Lopez Sineneng na dala-dala ang makapal na script at nagpahayag ng nerbyos sa sisimulang pelikula.

Nora Aunor wala talagang boses

Talagang hindi na nakakakanta si Nora Aunor dahil wala siyang boses. Resulta ito ng isang make­­over ope­ration na ginawa sa kanya. Ni ma­kapagsalita ay hindi niya magawa. Puwede siyang magsalita pero sandali lamang dahil kapag nag­tagal ito ay awtoma­tikong nawawala ang boses niya.

Ito ang dahilan kung kaya malaking tulong ang gina­wang pagpunta nina German Moreno, John Nite at Juan Rodrigo para lamang matuloy ang tat­long araw niyang konsiyerto na nung Pebrero pa nakatakda pero hindi nga natuluy-tuloy dahil sa kawalan niya ng boses. Ang grupo ni Kuya Germs ang umalalay at nag­silbing performer sa tatlong araw na konsiyerto na ginanap sa Australia, sa Melbourne, Brisbane at Sidney.

“Ninerbiyos nga ako dahil hindi ko alam kung paano ipaliliwanag sa napakaraming tao kung bakit ang mga February concerts ay naging August na,” paunang ku­wento ni Kuya Germs nang personal kong puntahan, pagkadating na pagkadating niya from Australia.

“Pero wala naman pala akong dapat ikatakot, ang presence ni Nora ay sapat na para masulit ang ibinayad ng napakaraming tao at matagal nang naghihintay sa kanya. Okay na sa kanila na an­dun lamang ito pero kami nina John at Juan ang kumanta. Hindi naman gaanong mahaba ang programa, pero ang kabuuan ay umaabot ng mga apat na oras dahil sa autograph signing na ginawa ni Nora at ang pagbibigay niya sa maraming kahi­lingan na makunan siya ng larawan na kasama ang mga tao.

“Wala talagang boses si Nora, nakapagsasalita pero kapag nagtagal kusang tumitigil ang boses niya. May na-paralyze siyang litid sa bandang kaliwa ng panga niya. May nakapagsabi sa kanya na may isang surgeon sa Boston na puwedeng makatulong para magamot ang problema niya at baka, sabi ko baka, bumalik ang boses niya pero hindi ito 100% sure. Mahal ang gamutan at wala siyang pera, tapos hindi pa sigurado na babalik ang boses niya kaya prob­lemado siya. Ma­­rami ang willing na magbigay sa kanya ng pera. Katunayan, dun sa mga konsiyerto niya ay nagsimula nang magbigay ang mga tao pero tumanggi siya. Hindi niya tinanggap. Pakiramdam ko ayaw niya ng awa, ‘yung parang na­mamalimos siya. Kukunin ko na sana para ako ang magsimula ng isang fund drive pero ayaw nga niya.

“Hindi rin siya pumapayag na mag-lip synch. Pakiusap ng mga producer ng mga concerts niya na kung puwedeng gawin niya ito pero siya mismo ang uma­ayaw. Sinabi niyang never siyang nag-lip synch sa mga shows niya, pakiramdam niya ay parang niloloko na niya ang mga manonood. Sa kan­yang huli at pangatlong konsiyerto, pinatugtog ang Pearly Shells na kinakanta niya sa record at sinasayawan ng mga bata, sinabayan niya, ku­man­ta siya ng ilang linya pero gaya nga ng sinabi ko, hindi puwedeng matagal dahil kusang nawa­wala ang boses niya.

“Gusto ring dalhin ni Nora sa korte ang kaso niya pero mahal na proseso rin ito. Kinakailangan niya ng tatlong abogado, isang Pinoy, isang Ame­rikano at may isa pa na hindi ko alam kung anong nationality. Eh, wala ngang pera si Nora, hin­di nga nakakakanta!

“Sa kabila nang hindi nakakakanta si Nora, tu­wang-tuwa ang producer ng tatlong konsiyerto niya. Una dahil nakarating ako kasama sina John at Juan.

Hindi naman talaga kami libreng-libre, binigyan din kami ng talent fee, ‘yun nga lang hindi matatawag na TF dahil napakaliit, parang hono­rarium lamang. Si Juan, andun dahil dati siyang leading man ni Nora.

At ‘yung pag-aasikaso na gina­wa sa amin ng mga Pilipino sa Australia, walang katumbas na halaga yun!

“Karamihan sa mga nanood elderly, mga may edad na isinama pa ang mga anak at apo nila, ang buong pamilya nila, para lamang makita si Nora. Kahit hindi ito kumanta, basta nakita lang nila ay okay na. Ako nga ang tinayuan ng balahibo ng sa isang parte ng konsiyerto ay pinatayo sa isang lamesa si Nora para makita ng lahat. Dun nagbunyi na ang lahat, nagsigawan at nagpalak­pakan. Sa lahat ng palabas ni Nora, hindi kakaunti ang tao, libu-libo talaga. Kaya nga maluha-luha si Nora sa kanyang pagpapasa­la­mat sa paghi­hintay ng kanyang kahandaan para matu­loy ang konsiyerto niya,” pagtatapos ni Kuya Germs.

Marami ang nagtatanong kung bakit hindi magde­manda si Nora eh talaga namang naper­wisyo siya. Kung pera ang problema, ang dami namang gustong tulungan siya, huwag lamang niyang pairalin ang pride niya. Ano ang pumipigil para gawin niya ito?

Hindi rin niya kailangang magbayad agad ng attor­ney’s fees dahil puwede niya itong gawin kapag nata­pos na ang kaso na maliwanag na­mang maipa­panalo ng kahit sinong abogado dahil nga sa nangyari sa kanya.

Ano ang pumipigil sa isang Nora Aunor para humi­ngi ng hustisya sa nangyari sa kanya?

Bangs Garcia inaagaw si Billy kay Nikki?

Alam nating lahat kung gaano kaganda ang relasyon ng magkasintahang sina Nikki Gil at Billy Crawford. Ang sweet ng dalawa mapaharap man o likod ng camera kaya matagal-tagal na rin ang kanilang pag-iibigan.

Kamakailan ay napabalitang nagkahiwalay na sina Billy at Nikki, si Bangs Garcia ang itinuturong dahilan sa nasabing hiwalayan. “Nabalitaan ko ’yan! I don’t wanna say anything kasi nagka-work kami ni Bangs. Huwag naman tayong mandamay sa walang kasalanan, at wala naman kaming dapat pag-usapan ni Bangs kasi okay kami pero nagkakabiruan kami na ano ba naman ’yang nababalita sa atin,” nakangiting pahayag ni Nikki.

“Naku! Narinig ko ’yan galing kay Nikki pa kasi siya rin ay nahihiya kasi ako rin ay kasali sa issue. Sabi ko, huh? Ano ang connect? Ni wala kaming communication o we never worked together siguro I would understand kung katrabaho ko,” esplika naman ni Bangs.

Spotted daw si Bangs malapit sa condominium ni Billy kaya na-link ang sexy actress sa binata.

“Mayroon akong kasama sa Eastwood, may nagsabi na kamukha ni Billy pero no hindi talaga,” sabi pa ni Bangs.

“At least ay hindi nag-deny si Bangs na may kasama, hindi nga lang si Billy. What a girl!”

AiAi delas Alas nahihirapang i-sustain ang kasikatan

Napakadali talaga ng panahon. Kailan lang, strug­gling si AiAi delas Alas, ngayon magsi-celeb­rate na siya ng kanyang 20th year in showbiz and what is a fitting way to celebrate the milestone than having a Concert that will once more show the talent that made her part of showbiz royalty, a queen to be exact, Comedy Concert Queen.

At dahil isa siyang royalty, she will pay tribute sa lahat ng royalty sa showbiz, sa TV, pelikula, mu­­sika at maging ‘yung mga foreign showbiz royalty.

I’m sure maiintriga na naman siya dahil hindi ka­­­sama si Pokwang sa konsiyerto niya. Maka­ka­sama niya for sure ang ilang tinitingalang komed­yante na katulad niya ay naging bahagi ng buhay at karera niya. Ibinigay niyang dahilan sa hindi pag­ka­­kasama ni Pokwang ang pagkakaroon din nito ng sarili niyang mga palabas.

Sinabi ni AiAi na bagaman at natagalan ang pag-akyat niya sa stardom, hindi ito gaanong ma­hirap. Mas nahihirapan pa siya ngayong sikat na siya dahil kailangan niya itong i-sustain at i-main­tain.

“Madaling umangat, pero ang pag-iisip ng mga paraan para magtagal ka sa itaas ay hindi madali. Kailangan kong palaging ire-invent ang sarili ko. Ha­makin mo komedyante lang ako pero nagsikap ako para maging isang artista, isang mahusay na artista. Dati sa karaoke bar lang ako pero napunta ako sa Araneta Coliseum, sa Folk Arts Theater. Nag-show na rin ako sa abroad. Ngayon leading lady pa ako ng Aga Muhlach na marami ang nag-iilusyon na makapareha pero sa akin siya bu­magsak mula langit. Di ba matatawag na suwerte ito?” sabi niya.
