Ryan Agoncillo is Lady Dada

2010-09-06T22:35:00.000-07:00

What happens if geeky-look Ryan Agoncillo gets dressed in drag on the glitzy bar's catwalk? Ryan can be considered the most gorgeous man in drag when he stars in the weekly series Lady Dada starting this Wednesday, September 8, 8-9 pm on TV5's Primetimes5.

The series taps the wacky side of Ryan, a departure from his mestizo looks and cultured ways.

"Ang ganda-ganda ko rito!" he quips. "I never imagined myself dressed in drag before. This one's for the books seriously," he adds.

Lady Dada tells the story of hard luck Dindo (Ryan Agoncillo) who barely succeeds in every business and job he gets into. His failures eventually ruined his marriage with Rina (Mylene Dizon). After a series of unfortunate events, he proves to be a bad luck magnet as he was restrained to get near his son Miko; this after he became violent in a bar owned by his wife and her ex-suitor Brian (Ryan Eigenmann).

Macario, his closeted high-school best friend, enters the picture in literally gay fashion as Kylie (Keempee de Leon) to the rescue. He convinced Dindo to mask his identity as a pretty woman and audition to be the next drag queen in Rina's bar. In order to get closer to his wife and son, Dindo is left without a choice but to turn from a man to a woman to a drag queen. His female disguise becomes even more awkward when he is courted by Rina's widower brother Henry (Roderick Paulate).

"Nagtatawanan nga kami," shares Ryan, "kaming tatlo nina Keempee at Edgar Allan [de Guzman as Junior, Kylie's lover], bading dito. Pero si Dick, siya naman ang lalaki ngayon."

Now Quezon City councilor Roderick Paulate is a legend in his own right playing classic gay characters such as Petrang Kabayo and Kumander Gringa. "Ngayon, lalaki na 'ko dito. Nanliligaw pa," says Roderick whose last gay role was in the indie film Ded Na Si Lolo.

Ryan goes back to acting via Lady Dada after several months of focusing on his career as host. Before hosting TV5's two year-old flagship show Talentadong Pinoy, he has topbilled several TV series and movies including two blockbuster marriage-themed movies with reel-and-real-life wife Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo.

Mylene and Keempee are both thrilled as Lady Dada mark their first appearance in a Kapatid show. Meanwhile, Dick's widower/suitor role is his TV comeback after winning as councilor in Quezon City last elections. He was first seen in a Kapatid show via 5-Star Specials Presents Maricel Soriano last March. Ryan Eigenmann, Edgar Allan Guzman, and Nathaniel Britt (as Dindo's son Miko) complete the cast.

Production designer and indie film director Dante Nico Garcia was thankful to the show's director Bb. Joyce Bernal for letting him help her in transforming Ryan from geeky to gorgeous. "Binigyan niya kasi ako ng pagkakataon na mapaglaruan ko si Ryan," says the director of the critically acclaimed film Ploning and one of the closest friends of Ryan's wife, Judy Ann Santos.

Will Dindo get around the persistent courting of Henry (who is actually his brother-in-law)? Could he pass for the next drag queen in town? How long can he hide his real identity?

Don't miss the outrageous gender mix-up on Lady Dada, which pilots this coming Wednesday, September 8, on TV5's Primetimes5.

LEAKED! MoiMoi Marcampo Wins Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown

2010-09-06T22:33:00.000-07:00

Just in time with its pilot episode last Monday, August 30, a leakage of who won the celebrity showdown of Survivor Philippines is already posted on several Twitter accounts.

Twitts said that Piolo Pascual's Yaya Moi (Moi Marcampo) is the alleged winner of this Richard Gutierrez reality-game show.

Interestingly, the leakage on Twitter came from two celebrity users who are identified from the Kapamilya network.

Raymond Gutierrez, brother of Richard, however dismissed the rumor and said that "Getting a lot of tweets predicting the winner of Survivor. They’ll do a live voting at the end. So no winner yet."

Zanjoe Marudo - Cristine Reyes Boob Scandal; Zanjoe Says Sorry

2010-09-06T22:32:00.000-07:00

Cristine Reyes got offended and reacted furiously at her "Kristine" series co-star Zanjoe Marudo regarding the latter's malicous exchange of twitt messages with his friend Direk Willy Cuevas about the scene in "Kristine" where Zanjoe touched the actress' left breast.

Cristine said the scene actually required that part but she felt violated after reading those twits.

Here's how the twitt goes:

Direk Willy: Z , kwento mo naman sa amin ung lasa nung pagkakahawak mo ng boobs ni Cristine, please… wag mo na kami pahirapan mag-imagine! …naka-ilang take 'yung hawak mo boobs ni Cristine? hahaha! sana nakarami ka ng take! Zanjoe: Konti lang direk! Hahahahah.

When she learned about it, Cristine replied via her twitter account, with:

"WOW LANG SA TWEET AH! UHM HELLO NASA TWITTER AKO. Try nyo magtxt na lang. Try lang."

"I don’t wanna ruin my night. Ganun talaga pag ungentleman. Tsk tsk tsk."

"All I want is a gentleman. I'm sick to bloody death of bastards."

After those twitts, Cristine got an apology from Zanjoe but didn’t belive it at first.

"Can’t believe hindi pa rin niya dinedelete ang tweets na yun. di ko makita yung sincerity sa sorry nya kung di nya intensyon maka-offend," Cristine said.

However, Zanjoe explained that he's just new to the social networking thing and that he didn't know his twitts can be seen public. To show his sincerity to Cristine, he deleted his account and offered Cristine a box of cupcakes.

Ending? All is well now between the two. Salamat sa cupcake. Hola, Cristine even offered help to revive Zanjoe's twitter account.

Cameron Diaz is The Most Dangerous Internet Celebrity According to McAfee

2010-08-23T16:32:00.000-07:00

Popular antivirus software company McAfee has released its fourth annual report of the most dangerous celebrities to search for on the internet.

McAfee compiled search phrases that contained the names of public figures, then figured out what percentage of searches for those phrases would lead to a site with viruses, spam, adware, or other malware.

Topping this year’s list is Cameron Diaz, who replaced last year’s #1 choice, Jessica Biel.

This means searching for Cameron Diaz leads to a ten percent chance that you will be directed to a malware/virus infecting site. Search terms monitored included "Cameron Diaz," "Cameron Diaz and downloads," "Cameron Diaz and wallpaper," "Cameron Diaz and photos" and "Cameron Diaz and videos." Apparently, searching "Cameron Diaz and screensavers" doubles the risk factor.

Here are the top 10 celebrities with the highest percentages of risk:

1. Cameron Diaz
2. Julia Roberts
3. Jessica Biel
4. Gisele Bündchen
5. Brad Pitt
6. Adriana Lima
7. Jennifer Love Hewitt (tied with) Nicole Kidman
8. Tom Cruise
9. Heidi Klum (tied with) Penelope Cruz
10. Anna Paquin

"GMA-7 Lupang Hinirang" Cinematic Version Released!

2010-08-22T09:04:00.002-07:00

GMA Network marks another historic landmark as it debuts a cinematic version of the Philippine national anthem, "Lupang Hinirang" just minutes ago at Party Pilipinas.

This new theatrical version retells Philippine History through a succession of carefully-crafted and awe-inspiring reenactments of historical events from Lapu-Lapu's victory over Magellan's troops in the Battle of Mactan to the Filipinos' peaceful revolt in pursuit of democracy in the 1986 People Power Revolution at EDSA.

The new version, which was conceived from the strengthened corporate partnership between GMA Network and SM Cinemas, advances the narration of Philippine history from the standard versions released before.

This project was done in close coordination with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, who recognized the Network's efforts to instill nationalism and patriotism among the Filipino people.

Shot wholly in high-definition (HD) digital video technology, the national anthem is slated to roll on the big screens of SM across the country. It will also be a part of GMA's sign-on and sign-off messages marking the beginning and end of each day's broadcast.

GMA-7 Lupang Hinirang:

"He is lying!" - ABS-CBN's Statement on Willie Revillame's Accusations Against ABS-CBN Executives

2010-08-22T09:03:00.000-07:00

"He is lying!" This is exactly what ABS-CBN is trying to imply on their response to Willie Revillame's TV and print interviews against the Kapamilya network.

Mr. Bong R. Osorio, Head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications, released a statement regarding Willie Revillame's latest claims. Read the full statement below:

Walang naging kasunduan ang management ng ABS-CBN at si Willie Revillame hinggil sa pagbabalik niya sa Wowowee noong July 31.

Ang suspensiyon ni Willie ay matatapos sa August 24 pa. Si Willie ang may intensiyong bumalik sa Wowowee noong July 31.

Ang totoo, wala pang desisyon ang management bilang pagbibigay halaga sa damdamin ng mga manonood na ang iba ay tutol sa kanyang pagbabalik sa telebisyon dala ng inasal niya noong May 4 at iba pang mga naunang pangyayari.

Isang patunay na hindi pa siya nagbabago ng ugali ay ang paglalahad niya ng mga kondisyon sa kanyang pagbabalik.

Pinapatanggal niya sina Mariel Rodriguez at Pokwang sa programa at dapat din daw siyang suwelduhan habang siya ay suspendido.

Naniniwala ang management ng ABS-CBN na dapat isabuhay muna ni Willie ang mga pinahahalagahang values at work ethics ng kumpanya bago s'ya bumalik sa telebisyon.

And to further refute Willie's accusation, Ms. Linggit Tan, ABS-CBN Senior Vice President for TV Entertainment, said they have not yet seal any agreement whatsoever about Willie's supposedly return on noontime TV last July 31. She also said that Willie had several demands which clearly shows that he had not changed his attitude, thus making it difficult for the network to come to terms with the TV host following his 3-month suspension.

Wala pong naging kasunduan ang management ng ABS-CBN at si Willie na babalik na siya sa Wowowee noong July 31. Ang suspensiyon ni Willie ay matatapos po sa August 24 pa. Si Willie ang may gustong bumalik na siya sa Wowowee noong July 31. Ang totoo po, wala pang desisyon ang management noon, bilang pagbibigay halaga sa damdamin ng mga manonood na ang iba ay tutol po talaga sa kanyang pagbabalik sa telebisyon dahil sa inasal niya noong May 4 at mga iba pang pangyayari noon.

Isang patunay na hindi pa siya nagbabago ay ang pagbibigay niya ng mga kondisyon sa kanyang pagbabalik. Pinapatanggal po niya sina Mariel Rodriguez at Pokwang sa programa at dapat din daw siyang suwelduhan habang siya ay suspendido. Kaya't marami pa kaming dapat pag-usapan at ayusin. Naniniwala ang management ng ABS-CBN na dapat isabuhay muna ni Willie ang pinahahalagahang values at work ethics ng kompanya bago siya bumalik sa telebisyon.

In reply to Revillame's August 9 letter, ABS-CBN, represented by the law firm Villaraza, Cruz, Marcelo, and Angangco, also disclosed that aside from demanding the removal of all female hosts of Wowowee, Revillame also asked for the following:

Payment of talent fee during the period of the suspension of the talent agreement;

Return of DJ Coki and Ana Feliciano to Wowowee;

Change of program from Wowowee to Wowowin;

Inclusion of Pinoy Big Brother winner Melai as host of the show;

Special ID cards for staff of Wowowee;

Special vehicle access privilege for the TV host in restricted areas within the ABS-CBN compound.

Kapuso Stars Portray Heroes in GMA's Cinematic Version of "Lupang Hinirang"

2010-08-21T12:46:00.001-07:00

GMA Network marks another historic landmark as it debuts a cinematic version of the Philippine national anthem, "Lupang Hinirang" featuring the brightest Kapuso stars.

This new theatrical version retells Philippine History through a succession of carefully-crafted and awe-inspiring reenactments of historical events from Lapu-Lapu's victory over Magellan's troops in the Battle of Mactan to the Filipinos' peaceful revolt in pursuit of democracy in the 1986 People Power Revolution at EDSA.

The new version, which was conceived from the strengthened corporate partnership between GMA Network and SM Cinemas, advances the narration of Philippine history from the standard versions released before.

According to the Director, Paul Ticzon, the team went through almost 10 months of meticulous research and preparation to shoot the vignettes.

"We went through this to be part of history. This two-and-a-half -minute version is something that all Filipinos could be very proud of. It strengthens one's nationalism when viewed," said Ticzon, who is also the AVP for Post Production Operations Division of GMA.

This project was done in close coordination with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, who recognized the Network's efforts to instill nationalism and patriotism among the Filipino people.

The Kapuso's visual adaptation of the national anthem carries vignettes of important events in our history. "Our version has an educational component. It reminds Filipinos to relearn history in a very cinematic way," shared Associate Creative Director Dong Tan.

The roster of Kapuso stars who played Philippine historical icons include (in alphabetical order): Aljur Abrenica, Marvin Agustin, Victor Aliwalas, Alvin Aragon, Bea Binene, Iza Calzado, Bodie Cruz, Dingdong Dantes, Gabby and Geoff Eigenmann, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Carlo Gonzalez, Carl Guevarra, Richard Gutierrez, Dion Ignacio, Paolo Paraiso, Enzo Pineda, Rhian Ramos, Marian Rivera, Arthur Solinap, Mike Tan, JC Tiuseco, Dennis Trillo, and TJ Trinidad.

They are joined by Ogie Alcasid, Heart Evangelista, Eddie Garcia, Jaya, Zoren Legaspi, German "Kuya Germs" Moreno, Regine Velasquez, Carmina Villarroel, Jillian Ward, and more; plus News and Public Affairs' pillars composed of Arnold Clavio, Mike Enriquez, Vicky Morales, Howie Severino, Jessica Soho, and Mel Tiangco.

Shot wholly in high-definition (HD) digital video technology, the national anthem is slated to roll on the big screens of SM across the country. It will also be a part of GMA's sign-on and sign-off messages marking the beginning and end of each day's broadcast.

SM expressed excitement over the launch of this new visual accompaniment to the century-old national anthem.

"With our partnership with GMA, we will be able to show the anthem in a different way. Before we just had audio, now we have a full production with GMA," said Assistant Vice President for SM Cinemas Allan Florendo.

Renowned film and television director Mark Reyes pitched the historical concept to GMA. "This will hopefully show and remind the younger generation what our heroes went through in history for our freedom. Being part of the Network that has played a role in the scheme of history, I am edified to push in an artistic way the Filipinos' passion for this country," Reyes said.

The GMA project team is composed of multi-awarded cinematographer Ding Achacoso (Director of Photography), Paul Ticzon (Director), Vince Gealogo (Co-Director), Ingrid Navarro (Producer) and cameramen Hanniel Aguilar, Javier Delgado and Paul Arrojado.

The whole campaign was spearheaded by the creative team of GMA's Program Support Department composed of Regie Bautista (Vice President), Dong Tan (Associate Creative Director), Alex Almario (Copy Specialist), Dennis Tiu (Art Director), Hasmin Marable (Senior Project Manager), and Minette Lopez (Project Manager).

Catch the Philippine TV premiere of GMA's cinematic version of the national anthem this Sunday, August 22 on Party Pilipinas.

"Anatomy of a Disaster" Begins Airing this Sunday Night on GMA-7

2010-08-21T12:43:00.002-07:00

In the wake of a natural disaster, a multitude of questions, from "why did it happen?" to "how can it be avoided in the future," frequently arises. And despite the pressing urgency to educate people on matters of the environment, some concerns are still not properly addressed, if not totally unanswered.

Beginning Sunday, August 22, GMA-7, through Greenpeace advocate Richard Gutierrez, brings environmental awareness to television viewers as it unravels some of the most destructive natural disasters in our planet's history with its latest monthly documentary series titled Anatomy of a Disaster.

Considered to be a more comprehensive version of Richard's former infotainment show Full Force Nature, Anatomy of a Disaster features different stories of tragedy, survival, and heroism adapted from the international AOD series of the same title. Each of the 13 episodes provides a scientific and detailed account of various natural disasters such as volcanic eruption, flood, hurricane, earthquake, and climate change, among others, in both local and international contexts.

For its local component, Richard will revisit some of the most catastrophic calamities ever to struck our country through interviews with environmental experts, eyewitness accounts, and actual footages, and deliver his spiels entirely on location.

The pilot episode on Volcanic Eruption will take viewers on a trek to Mt. Pinatubo as Richard vividly narrates its earth-shattering eruption in 1990. The explosion, which resulted to the second largest earthquake recorded that year, claimed hundreds of innocent lives, and destroyed thousands of homes in Zambales and nearby provinces.

Realizing that readiness is key to survival, Anatomy of a Disaster also provides viewers with substantial information and practical solutions on how to respond to and prepare for future disasters.

Directed by Rico Gutierrez, the first installment of Anatomy of a Disaster airs this Sunday, August 22, on GMA-7's Sunday Night Box Office (SNBO).

True Blood Season 3 Episode 9 Recap: Everything Is Broken

2010-08-21T12:42:00.001-07:00

Nan Flanagan shows up once again and brings the Vampire Feds with her to punish Eric for his indiscretions. If only they knew half of what he's done. The "Authority" takes Eric's statement about everything Russell has done. Eric's quest for revenge is now known to everyone. Pam must sense what I do in Eric; that he has little to live for..or as much as a vampire can live for, and his actions are becoming thoughtless. The feds however want nothing to do with the mess Eric has created. They're going to pretend none of it ever happened and encourage Eric to take care of Russell on his own. Off the books. Here we go.

I’m really not enjoying Jason's new storyline with this Crystal girl. I know she's probably something supernatural but either way, she's annoying me. And she's probably going to take Jason down with her. He's starting to piss me off with the lengths he's going to for this chick. Jason saves her yet again from her crazy boyfriend and ties him to a tree somewhere. This gets a fellow deputy killed and it's obvious Crystal is hiding whatever it is these people are.

Sam's brother is acting way out of character in this episode. At least for me. He's throwing loud parties with lots of nakedness and he's pissing off Arlene. Now that’s just dangerous. Arlene is an emotional mess and tells the new waitress (who's creepy and probably hiding something herself) that the baby isn't Terry’s. Aww. She encourages Arlene about other ways to “resolve” not having the baby. What the heck did she mean by that? Tommy's constant criticism of Sam letting people walk all over him finally gets to him. He snaps and beats the crap out of Crystal's hick dad who shows up to Merlotte's again. By the end of it he looks like a bloody bag of nothingness. Ouch. That's gonna have repercussions.

Tara goes to group therapy for rape and trauma victims and meets up with Holly. I wonder what she’s hiding. The group definitely gives Tara some strength and confidence in herself and you bet it comes in handy when she gets a shock outside of Merlotte's. Franklin shows up very much alive. I cheer but Tara isn’t as happy as I am to see him. He’s super angry and tells Tara that he couldn’t believe she didn’t appreciate his love for her. Tara tells him off with her new confidence and just when I think we’re about to get a great crying scene from Franklin, Jason shows up. Franklin bares his fangs undeterred but then Jason one ups him. Jason kills Franklin with a wooden bullet. Nooooooooooooo. Okay, I know he was a violent psychopath but he was my favorite. Sigh. Maybe Franklin and Godric can have a spinoff somewhere.

Sookie confronts Bill on the file he has on her. He looks visibly uncomfortable but seems to be truthful in what he tells her. Seems to. He tells her he collected information on her because he was curious why Eric was so interested in her. Whatever Bill. It all comes down to what Sookie is and why she has her powers. Will we find out this episode? Nah. But we got some clues. Hadley meets up with Sookie and takes her to see her son Hunter. Hadley begs Sookie to find out of Hunter is like Sookie. He is and can talk to Sookie with his mind. I guess whatever they are runs in the family. Hmmm.

Bill has one of those weird fairy dreams that Sookie had in the hospital. What triggers these? Is he having one because of all the blood her took from Sookie? Bill speaks with Claudine in the dream and apparently finds out what Sookie is. Naturally the scene ends there and we don’t get to hear. Anyone else kind of giggle when Bill tried to appear innocent to Claudine but then immediately bare his fangs? Fail.

Russell shows up on the 11 o clock news to kill a few reporters and avenge the death of Talbot. He lets the world know that vampires and humans coexisting is bullshit. Vampires are all violent and superior and things are about to get real. The war is starting.

Kris Aquino Answers Mrs. Annie Yap's Negative Comments About her

2010-08-21T12:39:00.001-07:00

Exactly one week after Mrs. Annie Yap's frank interview with Pia Guanio on Startalk (read related article HERE), Kris Aquino replied to Mrs. Yap's comments in an interview on The Buzz.

Kris says about her mother-in-law's interview: "Pinanood ng mga sisters ko, at siyempre noong pinag-uusapan nila, hinanap ko na din at pinanood ko. Siyempre, masakit. Lahat ng kapamilya, lahat ng kapatid ko, walang masama ever na sinabi tungkol kay James. Siyempre, tao din naman ako. Kung maririnig ko na never kang nagustuhan, siyempre masakit naman 'yon."

Nevertheless, she will not say anything that may ruin James's reputation, Kris says, for the sake of their three-year-old son Baby James. She says she is also trying her best to understand where Mrs. Yap is coming from.

"Iniisip ko na lang, dahil sinabi ni Ate [Ballsy] sa akin, 'Krissy, kung si Bimbi, kung nakikihiwalay, siyempre 'yan din ang magiging reaksiyon mo. Gagawin mo ang lahat to protect your son. Walang right, walang wrong. Ang tama lang, ang anak mo, 'yong mahal mo…' At para na lang sa anak namin, tatahimik ako."

Kris confesses that she was hurt by her mother-in-law's statements.

"Mapapanood po 'yon ng apo ninyo at some point in time kasi nasa Internet na. Nanay po niya ako. Kahit anong gawin ninyo, lumabas siya sa sinapupunan ko. Ako po ang magpapalaki, ako po ang magsusumikap para maitaguyod si Baby James. Masakit po para sa akin na 'yong apo po ninyo, sisiraan ang nanay niya sa kanya. Kasi magkahiwalay po man kami [ni James], kadugo ninyo pa din ang anak ko."

Kris adds, "Magsakripisyo na ako, manahimik na ako, magpakumbaba na ako. Handa 'kong gawin 'yon dahil ganoon ko kamahal ang anak ko. Sana po kahit konting pagmamahal bigyan ninyo din ang anak ko."

Eugene Domingo's "Inday Wanda" Premieres on September 6

2010-08-21T12:32:00.000-07:00

With major blockbuster comedy films and TV shows to her name, Eugene Domingo is all set to star in her newest sitcom Inday Wanda, premiering on September 6, Monday, 8-9pm at TV5's Primetimes5.

Inday Wanda offers a perfect mix of comedy and fantasy and injects moralvalues to its viewers. "Siya ’yung masipag, puro ang pag-iisip [at] gustong makatulong. Sa mundo nila, alam nilang kailangan nilang proteksiyunan ang mga tao dito sa lupa. Kaya siya si Inday Wanda, wonder Wanda!" said Eugene.

The story is told by tracing back the battle between the ancient clan of shamans and demons. While the shamans existed to protect and serve the world of humans, the forces of demons are up for revenge after being forced back into their realm. The demons are trying to reopen the portal that connects them to the human world. Even with other shamans’ aversion, Guru the old shaman leader sends in Wanda to fight back and keep the demons from entering the world. Wanda, a cheerful, bubbly woman, rose from a simple cleaning lady and washerwoman to become the accomplice of that important task.

Although reluctant at first, Wanda passes a rigorous training to fit for the mission. She then adopts the human name Inday Wanda a maid to the household where the portal lies; equipped with incredible spirit and the ability to connect with people, plus a knack for outrageous fashion.

She serves the family of Daddy Lee, a handsome but reserved father to Toni; the teenage girl who is geeky and quiet. Upon Wanda’s discovery, Toni’s meek demeanor hides a secret that adds up a good twist on the show.

Aside from Eugene Domingo, the cast includes Ariel Rivera as Daddy Lee, and Ella Cruz as the teenage daughter Toni. Inday Wanda is the first project of Ariel Rivera after his reported transfer to the Kapatid Network. Other cast includes Alicia Meyer, Gene Padilla and Long Mejia. Cogie Domingo also acts a special participation as Toryo, the demon lord.

Inday Wanda is written by Dwight Gaston and directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal, and is co-produced by Unitel Productions.

Juliet Bahala is MYMP's Replacement to Juris Alcantara

2010-01-18T09:50:00.001-08:00

There is life after Juris Fernandez for the local platinum selling band, MYMP (Make Your Momma Proud).

Months after the departure of Juris from the group due to "irreconcilable professional differences," founder and guitarist Chin Alcantara announced that the group will move on with new vocalist named Juliet Bahala(see photo inset).

The young Davao City native reportedly clinched the vacated spot through an audition where she bested fifteen other aspirants.

"Juliet's demo was the first one we heard and right away I knew she was the one. But our [new] manager [Tere Tinio] convinced me to wait and listen to other applicants but Juliet stood out. She fits all the criteria: distinct voice, versatile yet has her own style, and impressive technique and range," Chin proudly narrated in a recent interview.

The opportunity to sing for an established band was simply a chance Juliet could not afford to miss. Never mind if the prospect of assuming Juris's previous role is one daunting task for any newcomer.

"I have been a fan of love songs long before. When I heard that MYMP was looking for a new singer, I thought that even if my voice is different from their style, I will have a great input in this band. And I also heard from my friend who helped me audition that Chin arranges all the songs and that he is a perfectionist when it comes to music. So I know that I will be in good hands," said Juliet.

According to Chin, MYMP will release a new album this year still under Star Records where the group has still an existing contract.

Chin feels that releasing a new record is needed to immediately jumpstart the group's rebirth. He also hopes to reintroduce MYMP as a legitimate band and not a two-piece act, explaining that the term "duo" commonly used in describing the group for several years came from the music press.

"I want to maximize the talents and versatility of my new singer and instrumentalists. Expect a new sound from MYMP," mentioned Chin.

The crafty guitarist, who owns the MYMP trademark, is not bothered by the possibility of losing a huge chunk of the group's original fan base with this latest change. He said that the group has always put music first above image and individuals.

"If you study the history of MYMP, it started as an all-male rock band then it slowly evolved to pop then acoustic. The important thing is the talent, passion for music, grace and humility."

Watch MYMP introduce its new singer Juliet Bahala on ASAP XV this coming Sunday, January 24.

Meet the Cast of GMA-7’s First Fantaserye of 2010 - "The Last Prince"

2010-01-18T09:45:00.001-08:00

In the tradition of Mulawin, Encantadia, Majika, and Luna Mystica, GMA-7, the makers of top-rating fantaseryes, will now bring televiewers to a magical kingdom located in the clouds in "The Last Prince."

The Last Prince tells the fairy tale story of a kingdom in the clouds called Paladino. This magical realm is headed by the noble King Adorno and his beautiful wife Queen Lamara with their three children Prinsesa Saraya, Prinsipe Javino, and Prinsipe Almiro.

The peaceful and perfect life in Paladino is suddenly threatened when Prince Javino went missing. His disappearance is orchestrated by the most powerful and wicked black Diwani named Alwana. Diwanis are the powerful wizards in the kingdom.

Using her black magic and sorcery, Alwana pushes Prince Javino towards the magic mirror, transporting him to the earthly world. She wants him to fall in love with a mortal so she could claim the throne and take over Paladino.

But, an unexpected tragedy shatters the mirror and Prince Javino is permanently trapped on earth. The entire kingdom is devastated by news that the Prince is dead. There is instant confusion and disarray in Paladino.

This incident changes the life of the mischievous Prince Almiro. King Adorno immediately declares him successor to the throne, the next king of Paladino.

But, Prince Almiro is not yet ready to become a king. So the head Diwani, Rizayo, suggests he gets married. All the maidens in the kingdom were called so Prince Almiro could choose his lucky bride.

Once of those who came is Bawana, the daughter of Alwana. Because of her hideous face, Alwana uses her magic to make Bawana look beautiful. But Prince Almiro discovers their deception and he sends her away.

Bawana is enraged so she puts a curse on Prince Almiro. His face becomes distorted and only true love could break the curse.

So Prince Almiro, together with his three loyal allies Rosata, Onuro, Anexi, sets off to the mortal world to fulfill his mission. But Bawana gives him only three chances to find his woman.

By means of Bawana’s curse, they were trapped in a magical mansion and once inside, Prince Almiro’s warped face disappears but once outside, his cursed face is revealed.

On his third and final attempt, Prince Almiro meets Lara. Despite his horrible face, the kind-hearted and simple Lara falls in love with him.

Can Lara’s kiss finally break Bawana’s curse on Prince Almiro?

It turns out that Prince Javino is still alive and suffers from the new spell of Bawana. Can the two brothers destroy the evil Alwana and her daughter Bawana? Will Prince Almiro give up the throne for his love Lara? Will the peace and order return in the Kingdom of Paladino?

Real/Reel: Pacman to File Legal Case Againts Floyd Mayweatjer Jr. and Co.

2010-01-18T09:40:00.000-08:00

Real: Boxing champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao plans to file libel charges against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his father Mayweather Sr. and Golden Boy Promotions for wrongly accusing Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs (PED) and demanded that he take an un-required blood test, giving the impression that his recent successes might be due to some type of performance-enhancing drug.

Here is Pacquiao's official statement:

"Enough is enough. These people, Mayweather Sr., Jr. and Golden Boy Promotions, think it is a joke and a right to accuse someone wrongly of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. I have tried to just brush it off as a mere pre-fight ploy, but I think they have gone overboard.

"I have instructed my promoter, Bob Arum, head of Top Rank, Inc., to help me out in the filing of the case as soon as possible...

"I maintain and assure everyone that I have not used any form or kind of steroids and my way to the top is a result of hard work, hard work, hard work, and a lot of blood spilled from my past battles in the ring, not outside of it."

Reel: PBB Double Up Update: Cathy Remperas is the new Head of Household. Nominated for eviction this week are Rica Paras, Sam Pinto, Johan Santos, and Paul Jake Castillo.

Reel: StarStruck V Update: Sef Cadayona is the fourth to be eliminated. He was joined in the bottom group by Princess Snell and Rox Montealegre.

MMFF 2009: "Nobody Nobody But Juan" Movie Trailer

2009-11-29T06:40:00.002-08:00

Watch the full movie trailer of RVQ Production and Kaizz Ventures official movie entry in the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) titled "Nobody Nobody But Juan".

This Metro Manila Film Fest entry was originally titled "Juan" but when the Wondergirls song "Nobody" became a big hit, Dolphy himself suggested that they add "Nobody, Nobody" to the title.

SYNOPSIS. Nobody, Nobody But...Juan tells the story of a U.S.-based senior citizen named Juan (Dolphy) who lives in a senior home run by his son (Eric Quizon) and daughter-in-law (played by G Toengi). Juan's favorite pastime is watching Wowowee on The Filipino Channel. However, he does not watch the show just for entertainment's sake. Aside from wanting to connect with the Philippines that he dearly misses, Juan is lonesome for his first love Aida whom he lost touch with during the Japanese occupation of Manila. Wowowee is Juan's way of coping with homesickness and reliving the past.

When watching Wowowee is banned in the senior home, Juan makes drastic measures to watch his favorite TV program. In his quest, he crosses paths with his old friend Tu (Eddie Garcia) who used to be his partner in the vaudeville duo Juan Tu. Pokwang is cast as the partner in crime of Tu.

Juan is then reunited with his long-lost love Aida (portrayed by Gloria Romero). Will they have a happy ending after all these years?

The young Aida is portrayed by Heart Evangelista, the young Juan is portrayed by Epy Quizon and the young Tu is portrayed by Vandolph Quizon.

Eugene Domingo plays a nurse who takes care of Juan in the senior home. Willie Revillame is also part of the movie as the host of Wowowee.

Nobody Nobody But Juan - Full movie trailer:

The movie is directed by Dolphy's son, Eric Quizon, from a screenplay by Bibeth Orteza and produced by Kaizz Ventures in partnership with RVQ Productions.

Nobody, Nobody But... Juan! opens nationwide this Christmas, December 25, 2009.

She said: "Wala pang Star Magic, nandito na ako sa Star Magic (formerly known as Talent Center). So you know, whatever happens sa buhay namin, hinding-hindi mawawala ‘yong part ako ng Star Magic."

Incidentally, Be Bench winner and Kapamilya talent Carlo Guevara also signed an exclusive contract with GMA-7 after being an ABS-CBN talent for 2 years.

Fresh white with your pants hangin’ grown man low
Everything you sayin’ soundin’ good to me
No need to convince me anymore

Swag up, it’s right, one blade, it’s tight
And I smell your cologne in the air
Baby you doin’ somethin’ right
You just cancelled every other man here

You say you like my bag and the color of my nails
You can see that I got it goin’ on
I wanna make sure you remember me
So I’ma leave my number on your video phone

I know just what I’m wantin’
If it’s gonna be you and me
When I call, they better see me on your video screen

Them hustlers keep on talkin’

You saying that you want me
So press record, I’ll let you film me

Watch me on your video phone, on your video, video
If you want me you can watch me on your video phone

And I’m happy when my lights flashin’
‘Cause you on my receiver

Honey, baby is so sexy that he should win an Oscar

And when you miss me, just remember that I always got you with me

Vilma Santos and Ralph Recto Resigned from Lakas-Kampi-CMD to Support The Noynoy-Mar Tandem

2009-11-19T05:17:00.000-08:00

Batangas Governor Vilma Santos and her husband, former Senator Ralph Recto just resigned from the administration party Lakas-Kampi-CMD to join and support Liberal Party's main men Noynoy Aquino andMar Roxas in the 2010 election.

Ralph Recto also joins LP's senatorial slate while Gov. Vilma Santos will run for re-election also under LP.

In an interview, the Star For All Seasons said the decision to shift parties was "purely political." She also expressed belief that the Aquino-Roxas tandem will "unite our nation."

"Our country needs to be inspired... If our people are inspired, they will willingly support and follow the leaders' vision," she said.

Previously, Vilma refused the ruling coalition's proposal for her to run as Teodoro's running mate. Ralph, on the other hand, is honoring his political lineage.

"Our families go back a long way. My grandfather [Claro M. Recto] and Noynoy's grandfatherwere together during the administration of President [Jose] Laurel. In 1946, my father was elected in the Senate under the administration of Manuel Roxas, grandfather of Senator Mar," he said.
