Vice Ganda hinarang ang TV guesting ng Wonder Gays

2011-10-17T02:17:00.003+08:00

Saksakan sa yabang, kasakiman at kaplastikan ang mukhang kabayong si Vice Ganda na feeling ay siya na ang pinakatanyag na bading sa bansa! Harangin ba naman niya ang sana'y scheduled TV guesting ng Wonder Gays sa Showtime kung saan isa siya sa mga hosts.

May nag-text na matagal nang naka-schedule and guesting ng Wonder Gays sa Channel 2 pero ginawa niya ang lahat ng paraan at ginamit niya ang kanyang powers to the maximum level para lang hindi ito matuloy. Ganyan nga ba sya kalakas sa mga Big Boss ng Kapamilya Netwrok?

I think insecure si Vice Ganda ngayon dahil malaking threat sa kanyang career ang Wonder Gays. Bukod sa magaling kumanta ang nasabing gay group, magaling din silang mga komedyante. Eh si Vice? No comment.

If Vice won't change his attitude, his career will face the sunset the soonest possible time. Sana naman ay matutong siyang lumingon sa kanyang pinanggalingan.

Wonder Gays is under the management of Lito de Guzman na siya ring humawak sa career ng very controversial noon na Baywalk Bodies.

Pia Guanio pregnant nga ba?

2011-10-08T08:19:00.003+08:00

Until this time ay hindi pa rin nagsasalita si Pia Guanio about the rumors na nagpakasal na sila ng kanyang non-showbiz boyfriend na si Steve Mago noong October 1 sa Ayala Alabang.

Recently Pia expressed na may balak nga siyang magpakasal nang kanyang fiancee sa darating na summer ng 2012.

Bakit mukhang napaaga yata ang wedding? Di tuloy maiwasan mag-isip ng marami na baka buntis na nga si Pia kaya nagpakasal sila nang wala sa panahon.

Anyway, we have yet to her Pia's expalanation and clarification about this. Until this time, this remains a rumor.

Ang totoo niyan, Sheryl is a freelance artist. She has no contract in any of the three big networks, so she can easily jump from one network to another. Kung nasaan ang project ay naroon din sya.

This is what the ailing local movie industry needs today. Alam naman natin na masyado nang mahina at nahihirapang bumangon and local film industry ng ating bansa dahil sa pagpasok ng mga foreign movies which most of our countrymen patronize. Gone are the days na halos every week ay may lumalabas na bagong movies from our movie producers.

Nora Aunor is finally home

2011-08-02T08:01:00.011+08:00

The one and only Philippine's Superstar is finally home! Dumating na nga sa bansa si Nora Aunor at around 3:45 early in the morning sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) sakay ng Philippine Airlines flight PR 103 from Los Angeles, CA.

Kasamang dumating ng superstar ang kanyang kaibigan na si Suzette Ranillo.

Nora is here for a series of commitments. She'll play a major role in El Presidente, a film about the story of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. Siya ang second wife ni Gen, Aguinaldo, played by Laguna Gov. ER Ejercito who's also producing the film.

While in the country, TV5 will serve as her hoem network. Sa katunayan, gagawa siya ng isang 20-episode mini-series for the Kapatid Network.

There are rumors coming out na ang talent fee daw ng superstar sa gagawing mini-series sa TV5 ay tumataginting na PHP 1M. Isang milyon!

Wish lang namin na sana merong maganap na pagbabago sa buhay ni Ate Guy. Sayang naman ang kanyang pangalan na ilang taon din niyang pinaghirapan at mapupunta lang sa wala.

She's a big star and she deserves the right recognition. Sa kabilang lahat, marami pa rin ang humahanga at nagtitiwala sa kanya.

Nora Aunor comes home

2011-08-01T02:19:00.002+08:00

The one and only Philippine's superstar Nora Aunor is set to return home on Tuesday, August 2 for some movie and television projects.

TV5 will be Nora's home network during her stay in the Philippines. She'll do a soap opera project with the Kapatid Network that will also star Eugene Domingo.

Nora stayed in the US for eight years now.

Be unforgettable
They’re gonna know my name

CHORUS:

(And now) I’m a light in the future
(Watch out) Wont stop I’m a mover
(One day) You’re gonna know who I am
I will fly high and free
It’s my fate wait and see one day

I’ve been afraid before,
To reach for something more
But now I see that it’s mine, I’ll take it
Just go ahead and try,
You’re not gonna change my mind
There’s no such thing as too late
Yeaaaaaahhhh!!

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
I’m on a mission, no longer listening
To anyone that says don’t try
Sometimes you feel it, deep in your spirit
It’s like a fire that won’t die

(One day) Wait and see
(One day) Oooh
(One day) Just wait and see

CHORUS:
(One day) I’ll make you a believer
(One day) I got this all I need is
(One day) Don’t try to tell me I can’t (ooooh)
(And now) I’m a light in the future
(Watch out) Wont stop I’m a mover
(One day) You’re gonna know who I am (know who I am)
I will fly high and free
It’s my fate wait and see, one day

One day, one day
One day, one day, one day

Naghimutok ang ibang mga entertainment writers and bloggers about the said issue. Pero marami din naman ang nakaunawa sa kalagayan ng young singer at umuwi na lamang ng walang iba pang sinabi.

According to Charice's mom, her daughter was very tired that night because the show ended up late and Charice had a show the following day. So, Charice's management and security team did not allow any media interviews during that night.

Ogie wrote an article saying na walang "K" magpaka-Hollywood sa 'Pinas si Charice. This article trigerred different reactions from the Chasters around the world defending their idol. Umabot pa sa puntong nadamay pati ang ina ni Ogie sa usaping ito.

After hearing all the reactions, Ogie decided to ask apology and temporarily shut down his Twitter account para makaiwas sa gulo. But Chasters do not accept his apology at nagbanta pa na hindi susuportahan ang anumang project na may kinalaman kay Ogie. Some even threatened to unsubscribe to their TFC subscription kung hindi tatanggalin ng ABS-CBN management si Ogie.

Malamang si Charice na ang pinakamalaking nabangga ni Ogie sa kanyang career bilang writer. He should learn his lesson.

Kristine Hermosa naging pasaway sa Dahil May Isang Ikaw

2009-11-10T14:35:00.000+08:00

Rumors have spread that Kristine Hermosa has been irresponsible as a cast of the soap opera "Dahil May Isang Ikaw."

Ayon sa mga balita, palagi raw nali-late ang actress sa set kaya naaabala ang ibang cast at mga eksenang dapat kunan. She is the main reason kung bakit palaging napa pack-up ang taping ng nasabing teleserye.

Nakahanap naman ng kakampi si Kristina when her co-star Lorna Tolentino defended her against her distractors. Ayon kay Lorna, Kristine has always been responsible and professional in her job. She plays her role excellently at wala naman daw naging problema sa kanya. Wala umanong katotohanan ang mga balita na naging sakit ng ulo si Kristine sa kanilang teleserye.

Lorna further explained that it's unfair for Kristine to be accused that way because she's given her all-out support to the project.

During a relief operation headed by Manny, the two was allegedly caught together na magkasama nanaman. But Manny requested the press not to take the photos na kasama si Krista para wala na raw gulo.

Ano kaya ang reaksyon ni Jinky Pacquiao dito? Parang napapansin ko lang...kiringking ni Manny, kiringking din ni Mommy Dionesia. Like mother, like son!
