ABS-CBN Nangopya ng Poster ng Teleserye?

Guys tingnan ninyo ang mga poster di ba magkapareho (halos)? Pero don't ya worry yun unang poster ay ang US-Spanish Language version of the Chilean soap opera 'Donde Esta Elisa?' produced by Telemundo whilst yung pangalawa ay ang ating version na 'Nasaan Ka Elisa?'. Di ko pa alam ang poster nang original Chilean Version.

So di yan pangongopya dahil both franchise naman sila.

Test Screening of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2' to Happen on April 2


I heard news that the upcoming war film 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2' to have a Test Screening this coming April 2, 2011, Saturday in Chicago.

The source is kinda reliable but this is still a rumor. I hope this is true cause I am so excited to read the details about the film. Can not wait to read the announcement!!!

Aga Muhlach Host ng 'Amazing Race Philippines' sa TV5


Noong groundbreaking ceremony nga ng bagong TV5 Media Center ay inanunsiyo ng pamunuan nito na may 2 bigateng International reality shows ang dadalhin nila sa Pilipinas. Yung isa nga ay ang Philippine version ng 'Extreme Make Over Home Edition' pero yung isa raw ay ang pianakamalaki (ayon nga kay Jove Franciscco) at ang hula ko ay 'Amazing Race' at di ko yun binalita rito kasi di naman ito kinumpirma sa akin ng mga taga TV5. Great decision... malaking sugal ito, kasi super mahal i-produce ito!

Pero ngayon nga ay kumpirmado na magkakaroon nga ng 'Amazing Race Philippines' at ang bagong Kapatid na si Aga Muhlach ang mag-hohost nito. Wow!! Can't wait... I wanna join!!! For the full details, manood ng 'Paparazzi' ngayong Linggo!!!

1st Official Teaser Poster of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2'


Oh yes!!! Warner Bros. Pictures and Heyday Films released the very first teaser poster of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2'. It depicts the Harry Potter and Voldemort facing each other with Elder Wand (one of the Hallos) in the middle. Click the photo to get the high resolution

I love the new poster it's epic. Love the blood... it only shows that this is a war film. And as you can see there is no title... and I love it!!!

You know when a movie series marked a generation when a poster has no title and everyone knows what movie it is. :)

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2' to Have Test Screening in the Coming Days


In the coming days, Warner Bros. Pictures and Heyday Films are going to have the test screening for the upcoming film 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2'. So it means, in the coming days, we are going to have detailed spoilers of this much awaited film.

Gabrielle Adelle attended the test screening for 'Deathly Hallows 1' last year!!!

10 Hours ago, Gabrielle Adelle tweeted this:
I believe that I have a chance for the golden ticket! #tooexcited

Then 8, hours ago Muggle Net tweeted this:
In a few minutes we'll be posting some news that will be sure to make many of you jealous (as it has in the past)...

Gab replied:
@MuggleNet Don't tell everyone about the you-know-what!

Then Mugglenet tweeted this:
For security purposes we have decided against sharing this story we teased a few minutes ago. You'll learn about it in a few days :)

Sorry for changing our minds. But seriously, it would've been a major security issue and we don't want to be responsible for it.

Of course Potterheads are excited to see this film. Lalala... Security purposes? LMAO! x

Willie Revillame at ang Kulto Niyang 'Willing Willie' Dapat Parusahan ng Bongga!


Kung Likers kayo ng aking Facebook fan page eh nabasa ninyo ang aking pagkaloka sa ginawa ni Willie Revillame sa batang si Jan-jan at ngayon ay tayo pang may puso at may concern sa bata ay tinawag ng show na H@ters. Kalurky!!! Kayo na!!! Kagabi ngta no pinost ko sa fan page ko ang email adds ng MTRCB at DSWD at buti na lang may aksyon agad si Ms. Dinky Soliman.... eto oh:

MR. MANNY V. PANGILINAN

Chairman

ABC Development Corporation

Dear Mr. Pangilinan:

This is with regard to the 12 March 2011 episode of your show “Willing Willie”, which was brought to my attention by several concerned citizens and groups. In the said episode, a six year-old boy named Jan-Jan Estrada was made to repeatedly perform dance moves usually done by adult dancers in indecent shows. The poor child was in tears and looked scared the entire time, as show host Willie Revillame poked fun at him and the audience laughed and cheered.

Under Republic Act No. 7610, also known as "Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act”, the term “child abuse” includes the following acts: “psychological and physical abuse, neglect, cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment,” and “any act by deeds or words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of the child as a human being.”

Given that definition, it is unmistakable that what happened last 12 March 2011 to Jan-Jan Estrada was child abuse.

Persuading a little child to dance sexy adult dances in exchange for a measly sum, while he is being laughed at and ridiculed will definitely traumatize the child. What kind of values are we teaching our children through these shows, especially after Willie Revillame pushed Jan-Jan to do something against his will and then told him that it’s alright because he will receive money in exchange for it?

Given the foregoing, I am requesting that:

(1) Young children not be allowed to appear in Willing Willie and other similar shows in the network that cashes in on poverty;

(2) Host Willie Revillame be rebuked for his insensitive and deplorable actions.

There are limits to children appearing on television, and clearly, your 12 March 2011 episode did not respect the rights of the child and traumatized the six year-old boy. I also wish to raise my concern that the show tends to cash in on the plight of the poor. There are other ways of helping the poor without having to degrade their dignity and earn money out of it.

I hope you can act on this swiftly and I would appreciate a response from your good office.

Thank you.

Very truly yours,

(sgd.)

CORAZON JULIANO SOLIMAN

Chairman, MTRCB

Ano kaya ang gagawing aksyon ng MTRCB since ang nanay ng Chairman nito ay may teleserye sa TV5?

ABS-CBN Pinataob ang Panis na Summer Station ID ng GMA


Official na ngang nagsimula ang summer dahil kahapon ay ni-launch na ng GMA at ABS-CBN ang kanilang Summer Station ID for this year...

Sa GMA ay ang 'Halo-halo ang Summer Saya' na mapapanood rito

Naku day kapag napanood mo ito mawawalan ka ng ganang kumain ng Halo-halo. Yung station ID nila ay naku parang lutong bahala na, yung tipong basta may ma-i-ulam lang. Walang kasining-sining though their song is a bit catchy, love the modern touch. Pero kaloka sa isang lugar lang kinuhanan, nagtipid ba? At saka akala ko pino-promote nila studio nila kase summer pero wala man lang akong nakitang beach man lamang. Ganun pala mag-summer ang mga Gozon at si Galvante sa loob lang ng studio, kumakain ng Halong-halo pinasa lang at may yelong di natutunaw.

Sa ABS-CBN naman ay 'Bida Best sa Tag-araw' na mapapanood rito

Okay this is not the best Summer station ID of ABS-CBN but for me this is the most visually entertaining summer station ID. In terms of camera angles, winner ito, meron bang camera angles sa GMA? And so far, this is the best summer station ID theme song. I love the techno thing. Hinde lamang ito nagpakita kung ano ang meron sa summer bagkus may dala itong istorya at mensahe. Indeed, this Summer Station ID shows that summer is a fun season so be the best this season

'Cedie' Gagawing Teleserye ng ABS-CBN?


Usap-usapan sa umpukan ng tsismisan ang balitang balik TV at balik Kapamilya ang munting prinsipe na si 'Cedie'. But this time daw ay hinde isang cartoon series pero isang primetime Teleserye and guess what kung sino ang magbibida? Ang gaganap na 'Cedie' ay ang child star na si Zaijan Jaranilla.

Isa sa paborito kong panoorin noong bata ako ay ang cartoon series na 'Cedie: Ang Munting Prinsipe' at nang malaman kong may nangangamoy na magiging teleserye ito ay talaga namang napa-tili ako sa tuwa at napakanta ako ng "Today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards we we we so excited. Fun! Fun! Fun!"

If ever na matuloy ito eh ngayon pa lamang ay marami na ang mga nanghuhula kung sino-sinong artista ang makakasama rito ni Zaijan.

But wait kung primetime ito papaano na ang robot-serye ng Star Cinema na 'Atom' na pagbibidahan nina Bugoy Carino at Jomari Yllana na ang balita ko ay mga June o July na ang airing (yan ay kung hinde mababago, alam mo naman sa ABS-CBN pabago-bago ang mga desisyon ng timeslot).

Sana nga matuloy ito dahil the new batch ng mga kidas ay nangangailangan ng mga ganitong klaseng programa.

Bi-bi-bi-bida Bi-bi-bi-bida bida best sa tag-araw! Bi-bi-bi-bingka Bi-bi-bi-bingka bibingka kayo dyan! x

Jericho Rosales at Angeline Quinto Nagkapikunan sa 'ASAP Rocks Cebu'?


Kanina nga ay ginanap ang 'ASAP Rocks Cebu' at isa sa mga naging prod number ay ang Primetime Bida stars chuva.

So gaya ng tradisyon, kakanta ang singer ng themesong ng teleserye then lalabas ang mga stars sa teleserye habang sumisigaw ang mga fans ng:
"Ayan na si Chuvaness!
Grabe ang gwapo mo Tembelu!
I love you Kemvular

So yun na nga ang nangyari. Ang chika sa akin si Angeline Quinto ang kakanta ng theme song ng 'Green Rose' habang ang bida nito na si Jericho Rosales ang rarampa. Pero ang ikinaloka raw ni Angeline (na nakita sa TV ang pagkaloka niya) ay si Echo ang kumanta ng theme song. Ang ending eh hinde nakakanta (solo) si Angeline at balita raw ay napikon raw ito. May ibang chika namam na ayaw ipakanta ni Echo sa iba ang sarili niyang kanta? May ganun? Oh well, chika pa lang naman ang balitang pikunan. If true, sana magkaayos na sila. Pero sana di totooo para bi-bi-bi-bida best sa tag-araw! Bi-bi-bi-bingka bibingka kayo dyan! x

'Deathly Hallows 2' Photos: Harry Potter with Voldemort's Dead Body

The tumblr page yourunichase.tumblr.com posted a photo that shows Harry Potter going to rubble, away from the corpse of Lord Voldemort.

According to my source, the photo is not officially released by Warner Bros. Pictures. Thinking of leakage. Of course WB will not use this as a promo material for 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2', this is a big spoiler for non-readers

Okay this is the first photo... this one is a production shot, with no VFX.


Whilst, this one is a screen shot... You can see the VFX of the viaduct bridge

'Mula sa Puso' Remake Eere Isang Araw Bago ang Araw ng Kamatayan ni Rico Yan


Noong March 29, 2002 namatay ang original 'Mula sa Puso' lead actor na si Rico Yan at isang araw bago ang ika-siyam na anibersaryo ng kanyang kamatayan ay ang pagsisimula ng 2011 TV remake ng 'Mula sa Puso'.

After 'Magkaribal', 'Imortal' at 'Mara Clara', ang 'Mula sa Puso' pa lang ulit ang teleseryeng nagpa-excite sa akin ng bongga!!!

By far, based on the trailer, 'Mula sa Puso' is the biggest and best teleserye from Direk Lauren's unit.... so excited

Ilang Kapamilya Stars Di Kasama sa 'Bida Best Ngayong Tag-araw' ABS-CBN Summer Station ID

Marami na nga ang excited sa 2011 ABS-CBN Summer Station ID na 'Bida Best Ngayong Tag-araw' na ipapalabas na nga bukas sa 'ASAP Rocks Cebu'.


Talaga raw catchy, lively at very entertaining ang official theme song for this year's summer station ID ng Kapamilya kaya naman lalong mas na-excite ang mga fan na makita na ito.

Pero marami rin ang nalulungkot (talking about fans) sa paparating na summer station ID na ito dahil may ilang Kapamilya stars ang mapapasama rito. Ilan nga sa mga ito ay sina Ogie Diaz at Bekimon, at guess what di rin kasama si John Lloyd Cruz sa station ID na ito.

Kahapon nga ay nag-shoot si Angel Locsin para sa summer station ID pero di niya nakasama ang kanyang 'Imortal' co-star na si John Lloyd Cruz dahil may sakit raw ito. So in short di kasama si JL sa station ID pero baka magawan daw ito ng paraan. Hopefully nga ay kapag gumaling na si JL ay makuhanan siya para maisingit ang kanyang frame sa station ID.

But still, excited pa rin ako!

New Version of Opening Scene of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1'; Includes the Aunt Petunia Scene


A great Harry Potter fan did his own version of the opening scene of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1'. He included the deleted scene of Aunt Petunia (not the whole scene though). He also used the 'Obliviate' theme for background score. The result.... the video is good but I'm still happy with Yates and Day's montage!!!

Ilang Fans ni Toni Gonzaga mga Bastos!


Nakakaloka ang ilang fan ni Toni Gonzaga dahil kung anu-anong mga ka-eklatan ang mga pinagsasabi. Ito ay tungkol sa na-anunsiyo na si Ai-Ai delas Alas daw ang hinirang na Box Office Queen ng Guillermo, which turned out to be a hoax.

Siyempre kinagalit ito ng mga makikitid na fans. Kinukwestiyon pa nila ang Star Cinema. Then yung iba ayaw pa maniwala na ang 'Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To' ay ang pelikulang Pinoy na nakapagtala ng pinakamalaking kita last year. Natalo nito ang 'Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote' gayundin ang 'My Amnesia Girl' nina Toni Gonzaga at John Lloyd Cruz. Infainess malaki naman ang kinita ng 'My Amnesia Girl' at sa pagkakaalam ko kung hinde mo isasali ang mga MMMFF films eh ang 'My Amnesia Girl' ang nakapagtala ng pinakamalaking kita sa 2010.

Pero kahit malaki na ang kinita ng pelikula ng iniidolo nilang si Toni eh nagmukmok pa rin sila sa galit. Hinde ko sinasabing lahat ng fans ni Toni ay makitid yung mga ilan lang. Narito ang kanilang pinagsasabi:

Si Sarah ipinaglaban ng Star Cinema sa 2008 Box Office Queen award pero si Toni Gonzaga hindi for 2010 BOQ ...bakit????

Pambawi ba ito ng guillermo kay aiai ngayon?NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF TONI NAMAN SANA!

And this anti-Toni Gonzaga in Star Cinema is campaigning pala for Ai Ai to win Box Office Queen !

Noon ninyo pa pala ayaw kay Toni Gonzaga ! Sana sinabi ninyo na lang rather than resorting to name-calling.

How can they compare a film which had to end even if it was still attracting a lot of viewers just to give way to MMFF ?

If we did not SPEND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY, we wouldn't even care about the BOQ ! But we watched the movie more than 3 x !

Kung ayaw ninyo lang si Toni manalo, huwag na kami pinaikot-ikot !

Ay naku kalurky!!! Ang kitid ng kalye oh!!!

Infairness kay Toni ha, ang nais lamang niya ay makapaghatid ng quality entertainment. Mabuhay ka Celestine!!!

Sinong Young Actor ang Hinde Nagsusuot ng Underwear sa Shooting?


Dalawang araw na lang nga at masasaksihan na ang premiere night ng indie film na 'Taksikab' na mula sa direksyon ni Archie del Mundo. For more infos about the premiere night of this film just go here. UPDATE: 'Taksikab' Premiere Night Cancelled, to be Rescheduled Soon (for more info, click here)

Ang indie film na ito ay nagtatampok ng ilang maiinit na eksena sa pagitan ng dalawang lalake. At isa sa mga cast na matapang na ginawa ang mga maiinit na eksena na ito ay si Jonas Gruet. Narito ang aking ikalawang bahagi ng aking panyam sa kanya.

After doing ang mga maiinit mong eksena, ano nasabi sa iyo ng naging kapartner mo?
After my scene with Kevin Vitug, we just shook hands and he said at last makakatulog na siya kasi nga puyat kami lahat. I told him buti ka pa, kasi immediately after my scene with Kevin, I had another scene with Marcus Cabrera.

After my scene with Marcus (it was in the shower) wala naman siyang sinabi si pero what happened after that was nag-agawan kami sa nagiisang tuwalya sa banyo (LOL) because the other towel was left on the bed.

Kung suswertehin nga naman ng tuwalya. Pinag-aagawan lang!!!

When was the filming started? Did you enjoy the whole journey of doing a film?
Day one of the shoot was December 4 (2010). Yes even though I did 'Two Timer' in 2002, I did not get to experience auditioning, attending a final audtion/callback, acting workshops/rehearsals, until 'Taksikab'. And of course I enjoy interviews like this and I can't wait for the premiere.

What can you say about your director (Archie del Mundo) and co-actors?
Director Archie Del Mundo mentioned something about foreign movies with frontal nud*ty being tastefully done and this was his vision for 'Taksikab'. I remember after my scene with Marcus, we were watching the playback and he remarked that hindi naman siya bastos and it looks very European. So I think he was successful in achieving his vision. Direk Archie was very fair during the auditions. He ranted that with one particular movie where he was the writer, auditionees who scored high for acting, personality, and looks
were discarded and favorites were given priority. He did the opposite with 'Taksika'b. He was very just. Actually he, producer Ding Buenaventura, and casting consultant Ricky Gallardo were all just because they all had control of casting.

Kay Kevin Vitug. Hindi ko nakita si Kevin sa final casting/audition/call-back. They were waiting for Marco Morales to arrive, he was originally picked to play the part of Troy. I think OK si Marco with the arrangement, yung manager ni Marco ang hindi OK - this is what ***** told me. So Kevin got the part, met him sa acting workshop/rehearsal. He's not your typical indie actor: sa workshop may kasamang driver, may dalang iPad, graduate ng De La Salle College of St. Benilde, and pamangkin siya ni Precy Vitug-Ejercito; Senator Jinggoy's wife. So I'd say he's a cool guy for someone like him to be doing this.

Yup, Kevin is a cool guy cause he even said in an interview:
Jonas and I were able to actually converse with each other before and after the scenes we had to do and we just laugh about it. I’d even casually tell people how he rap*d me in this film. It’s pretty funny.

How about Marcus Cabrera, what can you say about him?
Si Marcus Cabrera is 8 years old and impressive. He's the youngest adult in the cast (the youngest in the cast is Martin Delos Santos who is not even a teenager yet)

At first I thought that Marcus was replaced by Kyro Baldemor, because Marcus was not present at the acting workshop/1st rehearsal. Kyro was there, script in hand, memorizing the lines meant for Marcus' character.

Kyro surprised me, very professional, asking me if II was ready to rehearse the lines with him. I told him since my scene with Kevin was to happen first, sabi ko practice muna kami ni Kevin.

I was impressed by the pace at which Kyro got his lines, ang bilis for a last minute replacement.

Having memorized our scripts, we were then instructed to act the scene in front of Direk Archie and assistant Direk Cicero 'Ching' Danseco to give instructions on blocking, timing, etc.

When we got to our man to man scene I was surprised ('Ching' told me later lumaki daw yung mata ko) that Kyro, who was already in his boxer bri*fs, took off his boxer bri*fs as the script said (remember this was a rehearsal with no pay).

I was wearing a towel because my character just rap*d Kevin's. According to the script I was to remove my towel after Kyro removed his b*xers. I decided to remove my towel na rin, because when your co-actor like Kyro gives more than 100% you cannot afford to give less. You have to match your co-actor's energy. So we were both nak*d - no plaster -and proceeded to do our man to man scene.

But what was more surprising was finding out days later that Marcus, who was out of town the day of rehearsals as it turns out, was still going to be my scene partner. Kyro was still to remain as part of the cast, only this time his partner would be
Dustin Jose as you've seen in Taksikab's 2nd teaser.

Another surprise was during our actual shooting. While Kyro wore boxers under his pants, Marcus, during our actual shooting with no rehearsal, took off his p*nts to reveal that he wasn't wearing any und*rwear. So I'd say that Marcus, at 18, is very brave, and is not intimidated by older actors.

Kalurky!!! Inggit ako!!! Sana andun ako sa shooting at nagmamasid!!!

Abangan ang susunod na bahagi ng aking panayam kay Yum! Yum!

Promotional Videos for the DVD and Blu-ray of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1'


Just 3 weeks before the much-aniticipated release of DVD and Blu-ray of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1', Warner Bros. Pictures released two promotional videos.

First is the First Sizzle Spot Promo for 'Deathly Hallows - Part 1'. The said video was posted by an entertainment website a month ago. But if you haven't watched it, just click here.

The last is one of the deleted scenes from 'Deathly Hallows - Part 1'. It depicts Aunt Petunia saying her last words to Harry Potter.

The Aunt Petunia scene is short but very meaningful and dramatic. Beautiful? Very!!! I love this scene but honestly I am happy with the great montage done by Yates and Day. The whole opening scene of 'Deathly Hallows - Part 1' does not need this Aunt Petunia scene. Let's be grateful!!!

The montage of 'Deathly Hallows - Part 1' is a great example of visual communication, a storytelling. It visually sets up the atmosphere of the whole film. If they included this scene, the whole film wouldn't have the so-called integrity. The film is not about the length!!!

You can watch the whole Aunt Petunia thing, just click here

KUMPIRMADO: Pinoy Actor Jonas Gruet Nanggahasa!


Narito ang unang bahagi ng aking panayam kay yum yum Jonas Gruet, na sa isa sa mga aktor ng Indie Film na 'Taksikab'.

Ang pelikulang 'Taksikab' ay repleksyon ng buhay sa kasalukuyan at kung ano ang pagtingin ng mga tauhan na hinalaw sa totoong buhay. Lahat ng mga karakter ko dito ay may koneksyon sa taxi. Ito ay nakatakdang ipalabas sa Abril pero pinapayuhan na mas maganda kung papanoorin ito sa premire night nito sa March 27 dahil baka ito lang ang chance na mapanood ito sa kanyang integral version. For more infos about the premiere night of this film just go here. UPDATE: 'Taksikab' Premiere Night Cancelled, to be Rescheduled Soon (for more info, click here)

Here we go...

Ayon kay Jonas de Yum Yum ay dapat ang role niya sa 'Taksikab' ay isang Amboy na may partial nud*ty lamang pero biglang nabago ang kanyang role....

My original role was supposed to be the Amboy with partial nud*ty. I was told my accent and my look fit the role during the audition. But days later, at the callback, I was told I'm too big and old to be rap*d, so Ii was gonna be given a more predatorial role that required full-frontal/kissing/s-e-x

Oh by the way the Amboy role was given to Kevin Vitug.

Anong klaseng s-e-x?
We didn't make it very detailed like p-o-r-n. All I can say is that I rap*d someone and made love to another.

Kalurky ang scene!!! Nanggahasa lang!!!

Kinabahan ka ba habang ginagawa mo yung eksena?
I came all the way from Taytay, Rizal. Then, Las Pinas ang venue ng shoot. Call time was before sunrise, so hindi na ako natulog before the shoot baka kasi hindi ako magising. So I got there at 5AM and I couldn't go to sleep for meals, wardrobe checking, make-up, briefings, etc, siguro nap lang. The man to man scene was shot in the afternoon so I was too sleepy and low in energy to feel nervous.

Hmmm... Ano kaya ang nasabi ng mga ka-partner niya sa mga maiinit na eksena after nilang magawa ang mga ito? Sorry guys pero bibitinin ko muna kayo... Ang sagot sa katanungan na yan at marami pa sa mga susunod na bahagi ng aking panyam kay kay Yum Yum!!!

'Deathly Hallows 1' Photo: Xeno Lovegood and the Butterflies


Look at the photo above. Did you see the butterflies? When I watched this film 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1', I didn't notice the butterflies. I thought Xeno Lovegood was looking for nothing.

Cesca Litton's Sister, Issa Joins the Cast of 'The Darkest Night'

Few weeks ago, I reported here that cutie Malaysian Actor Justin Chan is part of the International Horror Film 'The Darkest Night' (read here) and now it's time for Filipino actors.

The very first is Issa Litton,the sister of 'SNN' correspondent Cesca Litton.


Issa is going to play the matriarch of the film's main family, the Espinos. She is most easily recognized here as a television and events host and emcee. She started her acting work in theater, television commercials and short films. She has also worked as an assistant director, so she is familiar with the film and video production process. Acting is one of her many loves, one she has had to put on hold for the past few years. She has said she is eager to indulge in this passion again, especially in what she calls “a quality film” like 'Darkest Night'

Zaijan Jaranilla Bagay Bang Bida Sa 'Cedie: Ang Munting Prinsipe'


Kung saka-sakaling (remember if ever) i-remake ng ABS-CBN ang isa sa paborito kong cartoon series noon na 'Cedie: Ang Munting Prinsipe' bagay kaya si Zaijan Jaranilla na magbida sa Teleserye version nito?

Para sa akin, OO bagay siyang gumanap na Cedie. Bakit? Eto mga rason ko:

Una, napakagaling umarte ni Zaijian. Mas magaling pa siya umarte kaysa kay Richard Gutierrez. At kaya niyang higitan si DJ Tom Taus na unang gumanap sa film version nito.

Pangalawa, makapangyarihan ang mga mata ng batang ito.

Pangatlo, halos pareho sila ng hair style ni Cedie.

At pang-apat, parehas na bata sina Zaijan at Cedie. Saan ka pa?

Kaka-excite! :) With good cast and amazing music, this is going to be epic!!! Yun nga lang kung saka-sakali.

'Mara Clara' Extended!


I am so sure matutuwa si Marian 'Darna-saur' Rivera sa nasagap kong balita.

Dahil sa nanatiling mataas ang rating at nangunguna ang teleseryeng 'Mara Clara', balitang extended ang seryeng ito.

Damang-dama kasi ng ABS-CBN ang init na pagtangkilik ng sambayanang Pilipino sa teleseryeng ito.

Kaya tuloy-tuloy lang tayo sa panonood sa teleseryeng kina-aadikan natin.

Pero ang ikikinaloka ko until now hinde pa ipinapakilala ang isa pang bida sa teleseryeng ito! Kailan kaya nila ipapakilala si Emil Cruz? Ahahahahaha...

Infairness, di naman siguro ito aabot ng ten years! Sana makasama ang original 'Mara Clara' stars na sina Judy Ann Santos at Gladys Reyes. Para bongga at happy happy tayo!

'Bida Best Ngayong Summer' ng ABS-CBN Ngayong March 27 Na!


Ano itong nabalitaan ko na ngayong Linggo, March 27 na raw ilulunsad ng Kapamilya station ang kanilang Bida Best Ngayong Summer campaign.

May kinalaman kaya ito sa pinakaka-abangang 2011 ABS-CBN Summer Station
ID
? Kung hinde, for sure Christmas Station ID ito, charot!

Sabi nga ni Rebecca Black, WE WE SO EXCITED!

Pero nag-ask ang beauty ko sa ilang Kapamilya people kung sa linggo na nga ilulunsad ang summer station ID pero wala akong nakuhang malinaw na kasagutan. Oh well, I am sure bago matapos ang 2011 ay i-rerelease din nila ang Summer Station ID. Feeling ko sa December yan i-rerelease! Charot!

Toni Gonzaga Hinde Natuloy ang Pagpirma sa Star Cinema

Ngayong week na ito dapat muling pipirma si Toni Gonzaga ng exclusive contract sa Star Cinema pero sa di ko pa alam na dahilan ay hinde natuloy.

Ayon sa tsismis ang mommy ni Toni na si Mommy Pinty (sana tama ang spelling) ang nagpakansela ng pagpirma ni Toni. Sabi pa, inurong lang daw ang pagpirma nito at gagawin na lang ito sa ibang linggo.

Pero ayon sa iba, may kinalaman di umano sa pera ang dahilan ng di pagkakatuloy ng pirmahan. Hmmm... Nakukulangan kaya sila sa kikitain ni Toni sa kontrata?

I Love Toni Gonzaga
