World's famous Canadian pop star Justin Bieber barely contained his anger at the lurking paparazzi who crowded him and his girlfriend Selena Gomez, after stepping out of an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles where they celebrated his 17th birthday.

In a totally unexpected outburst, Bieber gave the paparazzi a standing ovation of his middle finger.




However, Bieber was quick to apologize and said sorry via Twitter.

“Had a great b’day and at the end of the night we got surrounded by paps and I reacted in a way I know better. I’m sorry.”"It’s not always easy but I know better than to react in anger,” he tweeted.

Actress-former Beauty Queen Carlene Aguilar revealed that she is two-months pregnant courtesy of her husband Yo Ocampo.

This is Carlene's second child (she have a love child with actor Dennis Trillo named Calix) and first for Yo. The two got married two years ago and are both excited for their first child.

The Quezon City Prosecutors’ Office has upheld GMA Network Inc.’s complaint that rival network ABS-CBN aired portions of one of its programs without its consent.

The network said eight of ABS-CBN’s staff working for the showbiz program The Buzz aired footage of its program Daisy Siete on February 13, 2005 without authorization.

Asst. City Prosecutor Vesta Victoria Giner-Villamayor recommended that the eight be charged for violation of the Intellectual Property Code.

But she cleared the network’s top executives, including Chairman and Chief Executive Eugenio Lopez III, President Luis Alejandro, Executive Vice-President Maria Rosario Santos-Concio, and Senior Vice-Ppresident Maria Socorro Vidanes of any liability.

“Despite [the] allegations against them, no clear evidence was presented that they indeed participated directly or indirectly in the actual airing of the subject footage,” Villamayor said.

Luis Andrada, The Buzz’s production manager, was similarly cleared because he was not yet an active member of the program’s production staff when the incident happened.

But the prosecutors recommended the indictment of executive producer Nancy Yabut, production manager Gia Nina Suyao, director Jonathan Diaz, supervising producer Roxy Liquigan, associate producer for technical matters Lani Gutierrez, associate producer Jenny Ingalia, head writer Romer Gonzales, and TV production head for talk and variety programs Roldeo Endrinal.

The eight argued that the showing of the Daisy Siete footage fell within the “reproduction” of artistic work as part of a report on current events, and that its airing was negligible since it lasted only 10 seconds.

“The position taken by the respondents do not sit well with said provisions [of the law],” Villamayor said in her resolution.

The arguments raised by the respondents were “evidentiary in nature” and best left for the court to evaluate during the trial of the case, she said.

“Pilipinas Got Talent” judges Kris Aquino, Ai Ai Delas Alas, and Freddie M. Garcia gave their first standing ovation for the season to the goose-bumping singing prowess showcased by 25-year old Caviteno Marcelito Moy.

Singing Regine Velasquez’ “Narito Ako,” Marcelito blew everyone away with his voice as he hits every high note perfectly and effortlessly. Even hosts Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford’s jaws dropped upon hearing him belt out his audition piece alongside the screaming live crowd.

Will he be the next grand winner? Find out if other acts can outshine him in the biggest nationwide talent-reality show “Pilipinas Got Talent,” airing every Saturday and Sunday, 8:45 p.m., on ABS-CBN.

After Direk Louie Ignacio, another director has has opted out of GMA-7 Sunday show "Party Pilipinas."

Director Rico Gutierrez, who formed part of the replacement team that took over the post that director Louie Ignacio vacated last year, has submitted his resignation notice to GMA-7 SVP for Entertainment Wilma Galvante on Thursday. Galvante reportedly accept the resignation but didn’t detail the reason for the move.

Prior to this, Gutierrez, via Twitter, announced that he will take a much-needed vacation from the show owing to a commitment concerning the musical "Wazak: A Love Story."

It turned out that Gutierrez was actually intending for a permanent vacation. And although GMA-7 is still mum on the matter as of this writing, many believe that Reyes will continue directing the show by his lonesome in the interim.

That said, Reyes' tenure on the show is also being speculated upon by many given the rumors that he'll be transferring to TV5 soon to helm the made-for-TV remake of "Bagets."

Four of Philippine showbiz' hottest personalities and two rival stations' prized possessions joined together as endorsers of Real Leaf Green Tea.

Real life sweethearts Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes and KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual are featured in Real Leaf Green Tea's latest TV commercial.


Watch below:

Phil Younghusband's photo with a certain girl named Denisse Oca, reportedly her girlfriend (now an ex because of Angel Locsin), is currently circulating in the net.

These rumor was immediately denied by Denisse. On her twitter account (@d_oca), Denise said that she is just a friend to Phil, "Been rumors going around & I just want to clarify that I am not @PhilYHusband's gf. We're just friends. Pls get your facts straight. Thanks."

Her statement was seconded by Phil by saying, "Lots of rumors going around. Things being made an issue out of nothing. Please consider the feelings of the people involved. Thanks guys!"

Although they both refute the rumor, there is another issue involving the two in a one-night stand encounter. There has been an exchange of tweet messages between Denisse and a twitter handle @chakaness who is reportedly circulating these rumor. He was the same source mentioned by Dolly Anne Carvajal yesterday in "Paparazzi".

An exchange of tweet messages between @d_oca and @chakaness reflect:

@d_oca to @chakaness: "Who are these so-called friends you talk about? Phil's just a friend, we went out on a few friendly dates, I NEVER slept w/ him."

@chakaness replied: "Totoo walang steady si Phil kasi he prefers one night stands. Wag ka mag-deny Denisse Oca na di mo natikman si Phil. Kalat na sa Republiq."

@chakaness further revealed that it's Denisse who's been telling the whole world that something happened between her and Phil Younghusband that evening.

Denying that she's the one who started the issue, Denisse posted: "This issue has been blown out of proportion. Pls know that these rumors aren't true & I never started it. My REAL friends can attest to that."

With films like “The Polar Express,” “Monster House” and “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” under their belts, producers Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey are pioneers in performance-capture filmmaking. And with Walt Disney Pictures' “Mars Needs Moms,” they’ve capitalized on the latest advancements in both performance capture and 3D, creating a visually mind-blowing experience for audiences.

According to Zemeckis, the technology has come a long way. “The advancement is one thousand-fold. The team that created ‘Mars Needs Moms’ is the best performance-capture digital facility on the Earth. The movie - its imagery and the story the technology allows us to tell—is absolutely beyond anything you’ve seen before.”

Zemeckis says there’s an important aspect of the art form that makes these films special. “One of the great bonuses of doing a movie in performance capture is that it’s in 3D all the time. We have to make our movie in 3D just to do it. We now design the movie to be presented in 3D, too. And when you’re doing a 3D movie that’s completely virtual like ‘Mars Needs Moms,’ the 3D can be more spectacular than you can do in any other form. We spend a lot of time and energy designing our movies for the 3D experience for the audience.”




Director Simon Wells says he feels the film has added spark, thanks to the 3D technology. Since the team knew from the beginning that they had another dimension to play with, so to speak, several scenes were built with that knowledge in mind. Gribble’s lair - with all its gadgets, moving mechanisms and secret monitors - as enormously enhanced by the 3D technology, which was a huge advantage to filmmakers because viewers spend a lot of time there. “They can explore the environment far more than seems possible if it weren’t in 3D.”

Wells adds that the technology worked even better than anticipated on a number of occasions. “The first fall into the trash caverns was always conceived as a very dramatic and gut-wrenching moment,” says the director, “but I wasn’t prepared for just how effecting the plummet and tumble down the first trash hill would end up feeling as a fully three-dimensional experience.”

Even the director was surprised by the evocative quality of the 3D when it came to a spectacular space scene. “When the Martian spaceship creates a wormhole for its trip across the solar system, outer space literally opens up to reveal further, deeper space behind.”

But it’s a scene late in the film - the climactic moment of the movie - that exemplifies what 3D is capable of expressing. “It’s an absolute show-stopper in 3D,” says Wells. “Anthony Shafer and his team carefully scripted the depth in the preceding scenes to be relatively shallow so that at this particular moment, the screen explodes into a shockingly three-dimensional space, which utterly nails the emotion and action of the moment. For me, the movie was worth doing in 3D simply for that one shot.”

“We want to make 3D an immersive, cinematic experience that, like all tools in cinema, ultimately fades away and become invisible. I think ‘Mars Needs Moms’ is a magnificent, state-of-the-art 3D movie.”

Opening across the Philippines on March 16 in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D and regular format, “Mars Needs Moms” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International.

Jessy Mendiola’s first major teleserye, “Sabel,” enters its last week on air.

“Nakakalungkot po talaga na matatapos na. Parang dati lang kinakabahan ako ng sobra tapos ngayon di ko namalayan na nairaos na pala namin yung project. Masaya na malungkot talaga. Mamimiss ko kasi yung mga katrabaho ko,” Jessy expressed in an interview.

According to Don Cuaresma, director of the mentioned series, the whole team has prepared an unforgettable ending for its avid viewers. “Matindi ang magiging finale ng Sabel. Hindi nila malilimutan ang mga huling tagpo at sigurado ko na tatak ito sa mga manonood. Pinaghandaan namin ito. Siyempre, isang magandang ending ang dapat itapat sa isang magandang serye,” Direk Don shared.

Jessy’s leading men, Aj Perez and Joseph Marco, are both happy that they were able to portray their respective roles well. “Masarap po sa pakiramdam na marami pong positibong reactions sa mga ginampanan po naming roles. Challenge po kasi talaga sakin ang role ko bilang Dido na pari kaya kapag nakakarinig po ako na nagugustuhan nila yung portrayal ko, nakakataba ng puso. Mamimiss ko yun,” Aj said. Joseph on the other hand is very thankful for being part of the well-loved series.

In the remaining episodes, the story intensifies as Sabel (Jessy Mendiola) faces more hurdles.

ABS-CBN’s “The Price is Right” has proven to be one of the most generous and big-time game shows on TV today after already giving away millions-worth of prizes, including two brand new cars in less than a month.

Hosted by the one and only Queen of Game Shows, Kris Aquino, “The Price is Right” continues to get stronger day by day with its unique brand of entertainment that tickles the Filipino’s nature of being price-conscious and clever.

Adding to the charm of the show is Kris’ repartee with the contestants, who come from all walks of life and have different life stories and personalities to share. Even the program’s two handsome announcers, Rich Herrera and Rich Hardin, are fast gaining popularity especially among the female population.

Kris scores another hit with the success of “The Price is Right,” which consistently makes the Top 15 highest-rating TV programs nationwide according to Kantar Media. She has delivered iconic performances in her previous game shows such as “Game Ka na Ba?,” “Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal,” “Wheel of Fortune,” and “Pinoy Bingo Night.” Her mastery of the game and natural wit make her a cut above the rest among her peers in the country.

With her track record and accolades, Kris can easily be mentioned on the same breath with game show legends Bob Barker and Drew Carey, the former and the present hosts of the US version of “The Price is Right.”

Today, the excitement escalates as “The Price is Right” goes live everyday on its new timeslot at 5:40pm on ABS-CBN.

Don’t miss the fun and the challenge as Kris Aquino puts the Filipino’s gauging skills to test on the hottest game show in the nation today, “The Price is Right,” from Monday to Friday, after “Sabel” on the game show capital of Philippine TV, ABS-CBN.

Billy Burke is well known to genre fans for the part of Charlie Swan - Bella's father - in the blockbuster “Twilight” film franchise. He created the role in the first film, “Twilight,” which also marked his first collaboration with director Catherine Hardwicke. He has since reprised the character in the sequels, “New Moon” and “Eclipse.” Now, Burke reunites wth director Hardwicke for the latter's re-imagining of the beloved fairytale “Red Riding Hood” from Warner Bros.

“I have a huge place in my heart for Catherine,” says the actor. “I’ve never met anyone with the energy level she has and it’s infectious. She has a way of infusing everyone on the set with a shared sense of purpose.”

“Red Riding Hood” tells the story of Valerie (Amanda Seyfried), a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie’s older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village.

Coming from different perspectives, Valerie’s parents, Suzette (Virgina Madsen) and Cesaire (Burke), have conflicting views on whether it will be Peter or Henry who can make their daughter happy in the long run.

Burke admits that his character “is a man who likes to tip a few back, but his daughter loves him and forgives his faults. Maybe her attraction to Peter is partly due to the old cliché that girls tend to be attracted to men who remind them of their fathers. Cesaire is a woodcutter himself, so he likes Peter and considers him a fine suitor for his daughter.”

Adds Burke, “That’s only part of the chasm that has developed with his wife over the years, which is probably due to his drinking. But Cesaire doesn’t see how that is hurting anyone, including himself.”




Burke was previously seen in “Fracture,” with Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling; Jay Russell’s fact-based drama “Ladder 49,” with John Travolta and Joaquin Phoenix; Lee Tamahori’s “Along Came a Spider”; “Without Limits,” for writer/director Robert Towne; and Jim Abraham’s “Jane Austen’s Mafia!”

On television, Burke previously had a chilling seven-episode arc in the second season of the hit action series “24.” He also appeared in a recurring role on the series “Wonderland,” created by Peter Berg, and has had guest roles on such series as “Law & Order,” “Fringe” and “The Closer.”

Apart from acting, Burke is an accomplished musician who plays both guitar and piano. He performed in Seattle with the rock band Outcast Theater for many years. His debut album, Removed, was released last June.

Opening across the Philippines on March 11, “Red Riding Hood” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Columbia Pictures assembles today's hottest young stars Leighton Meester (TV's “Gossip Girl”), Minka Kelly (“500 Days of Summer”) and Cam Gigandet (“Twilight,” upcoming “Priest”) for the gripping suspense-thriller “The Roommate.”

Oscar-nominated director Christian E. Christiansen (“Råzone”) crafts a finely tuned tale of madness and role reversal packed with ingenious twists and heart-stopping surprises as a naïve college freshman (Kelly) begins to suspect that her roommate (Meester) is not what she appears to be.

When the screenplay for “The Roommate” first arrived on producer Doug Davison’s desk, he immediately knew it had all the elements of a successful thriller. The script was skillfully constructed, and grounded in character and dialogue. The tension and suspense built so that, as the story progressed, the audience would feel more and more uneasy, and then, finally, out and out scared.

The producers began to search for a director who could bring a fresh point of view to a time-honored genre. “I had seen the Danish movie `Råzone,' directed by Christian E. Christiansen, and liked it a great deal,” says Davison. “He has a European sensibility that I thought would make the look and feel of the film unconventional in a good way. We had a few phone conversations and Christian’s approach to the material was all about making it feel real.”

“Råzone,” Christiansen’s first full-length feature, explores the phenomenon of girls who bully, in a thought-provoking and disturbing way. The director proposed bringing an equally realistic point of view to “The Roommate.” “When I read the screenplay, I could see the movie from beginning to end,” says Christiansen. “I understood it completely. I understood the characters. I thought it was sexy, it was hip. And most of all, it was dark and scary, which really turned me on. I love thrillers, especially from the ’70s and ’80s, and being offered the chance to do something similar was really exciting.”

The tension, says Christiansen, comes from establishing a feeling of normalcy and then slowing upending it. “Our main character, Sara, comes to Los Angeles to go to college. She’s assigned a roommate she has never met, Rebecca. We don’t know much about Rebecca except that she’s from a wealthy family and she is interested in art.”

“We first present what Sara’s real life is like when she arrives at this dorm,” he continues. “She’s from the Midwest, and maybe a little naïve. She has big dreams about what she wants to become. She’s into fashion design. And so she’s getting to this dorm with an open mind about her roommate. ”

“And then we twist it,” he continues. “It turns out Rebecca is not a normal girl. She has emotional problems. She might be bipolar; she might have some sociopath in her or maybe some schizophrenic elements. In any case, she becomes obsessed with Sara. And by the time the story is done, Sara will have learned a little about what real life may hold, and she’s not as naïve.”

The finished film incorporates all the elements Davison recognized in the first draft of the script. “Christian has made a truly frightening thriller that’s grounded in reality,” says Davison. “Anyone who has ever had a roommate can relate and go along for the ride. I think audiences will not only enjoy the experience, they’ll want to talk about it afterward.”

For his part, Christiansen says he just wants audiences to have fun watching the film. “I think they are in for a treat in the roller coaster ride sense. If you’re into creepy movies, you’ll definitely have a good time. The Roommate is a thriller about the line between friendship and obsession, as well as about finding your way when you are young and everything is new. It’s full of emotional ups and downs, full of surprises - and it’s seriously scary!”

Opening soon across the Philippines, “The Roommate” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Good news: Justin Bieber is coming in Manila for a concert slated on May 10, 2011 at the SM Mall of Asia concert grounds.

Another good news: Interested ticket buyers can now reserve and buy tickets online through www.smtickets.com.

Mr. Henry Lapis, SM Tickets' Business Unit Head, discussed the process of buying tickets online as well as how to pay them. "Online, you can either reserve or buy tickets. For example, you just saw an event and you wanted to reserve muna, we will be giving you three days reservation period. And when you want to buy it now, you just click on the buy button and pay via credit card.

"And then from there you can choose whether you want your ticket to be sent via SMS to your cellphone using Bcode (bar code) and scan the eTicket on your mobile phone on BCode machines located at the venue and your ticket will be printed instantly. Or you can print the [claim ticket] voucher and you can redeem your tickets in advance in any of our outlets nearest you.
"So, you have two choices, you can claim your tickets in advance or you can claim it at the venue using the Bcode," explained the executive.

Tickets bought online are of the same price as the tickets on the ticket venues. But you have to add P20 for an additional fee.

Aside from Bieber fans, other concertgoers are looking forward to watching other foreign acts that will soon perform here in the Philippines. These include Anberlin (March 9 at A. Venue, Makati), Switchfoot (April 30 at Philsports Arena, formerly Ultra in Pasig), Maroon 5 (May 23 at SMX Convention Center), Kenny Loggins (May 22 at SMX Convention Center), and Asking Alexandria (May 27 at the Amoranto Theater in QC). The Irish pop rock trio The Script is also slated to perform at the Araneta Coliseum on April 16.

Award-winning sexy Kapamilya actress Angelica Panganiban gets into a fight with Philippine Azkals' striker Phil Younghusband and his fan on Twitter when Angel posted an unsolicited advice regarding Phil's reported entry to showbiz.

Noong March 3, naganap ang sagutan ni Angelica Panganiban (@IamAngelicaP) at ng isang "Boni Morales" sa micro-blogging at social networking site.

Nag-react si Angelica sa napapabalitang indie film, kung saan lalabas umano si Phil.




Ayon kay Angelica, "si phil may indie film... Akala ko ba football player sya??? :( lahat na lang artista na :( sad..."

Dagdag pa ni Angelica, sana raw ay mag-concentrate na lang si Phil sa football para tuloy-tuloy ang panalo nito.

"Sila rooney ba gumagawa ng movie? I dont think so :) mukhang busy lang sila kkpractice para laging manalo :)" saad niya.

Si Wayne Rooney ay isang sikat na football player mula sa England.

Ito pa ang ilang tweets ni Angelica tungkol sa isyu (in no particular order):

"masama. Sana lang mag focus muna silang lahat sa football. Para sa pinas kasi yun. #justsayin' after na lang ng tourny mag artista."

"Ang kitid ng utak ng iba. D ko sinasabing ang gusto ko eh ako lang ang artista. Kung gusto pala nya mag artista, sana d na sya nag football."

"Sana sa pbb sya sumali :) d sa azkals. Baka mapuyat sya sa shooting d sya makalaro ng maayos. Gets nyo ba ko? O buong araw natin to issue?"

"Magaling mag football si phil. Stick to that muna :) kakasimula pa lang natin sa football. Baka mas magenjoy sya sa acting. Sayang."

"Ayan. Ok na ha? Concerned citizen lang po ako. Theres no need to promote FB everynight na sila nasa news. Magandang promotion na yun."

Paglilinaw ni Angelica, hindi naman sa ayaw kay Phil. Ayaw niya lang daw na paghaluin nito ang paglalaro ng football at ang showbiz.

"Ok lang naman. Sana lang wag pabayaan ang paglaro :) para d mapahiya :) like pacman," saad niya sa isa pang tweet.

Matatandaang naging personalidad din sa showbiz si Phil bago pa siya nasali sa Azkals. Sumali siya sa Celebrity Duets ng GMA-7 noong 2008, at nag-guest sa iba't ibang programa sa telebisyon. Naging endorser na rin ito ng iba't ibang produkto.

Dahil dito, hindi napigilan ni Phil na mag-react din sa twitter post ni Angelica. Sa isang interview noong March 2 sa Bandila, inihayag ni Phil ang kanyang saloobin sa issue, "I don’t think Angelica probably realized it," Phil tells Bandila. "The indie film was not me acting. It’s not about me getting into acting or being an artista. It’s about football. It’s about promoting football. Maybe she just misunderstood it."

Dahil sa mga tweet ni Angelica ay may mga nag-react na tweeters, at sinasagot naman ito ni Angelica nang maayos. Kahit ang ilang below-the-belt na hirit ng isang nagpakilalang "Boni Morales" ay sinasagot din ni Angelica nang mahinahon.




Gayunpaman, lumala ang palitan nila ng salita. Ilan sa mga ibinato ni "Baby Morales" kay Angelica ay mga salitang "dumb," "stupid," at "bitch."

Sinabi rin nito na dapat hindi nagsasalita laban kay Phil si Angelica dahil wala pa itong nagawang "ikakaproud ng mga pilipino."

Dinamay rin nito ang boyfriend ni Angelica na si Derek Ramsay sa pagsasabing "trying hard" itong magpaka-athlete.

Si Derek ay professional na frisbee player, na nakapag-uwi na rin ng ilang award mula sa ilang kumpetisyon sa ibang bansa.

Binanggit na rin ng fan ang isyung pinaampon lamang si Angelica dahil iniwan siya ng kanyang ama noong maliit pa lamang siya.

Sa ngayon ay lampas 70 na ang tweets ni "Baby Morales" laban kay Angelica.

Bukod sa kanyang pangalan, larawan, at account - wala nang ibang detalyeng makikita sa profile ng kaalitan ni Angelica. Pero kung babasahin ang mga previous posts nito, makikita ang mga mensahe ni "Baby Morales" sa Twitter account ni Phil (@PhilYHusband) at ang Azkals' goal-keeper na si Neil Etheridge.

Dahil sa tuloy-tuloy na paghirit niya (@anilmorales) laban kay Angelica ay nagbigay na rin ito ng maaanghang na sagot. Tinawag niya namang "bakla," "bastos," at "nakakahiya" si "Baby."

Bandang huli ay pabirong sinabihan ni Angelica ang kanyang fans na "ipatumba" at "paglaruan" si Baby.

Dahil sa palitan ng tweets na ito ay nagpa-interview na si Angelica sa news program ng ABS-CBN na TV Patrol at SNN.

Pinag-iisipan na rin daw ng aktres kung sasampahan niya ng kaso ang fan na kasagutan niya sa Twitter.

"Sabi nga niya [Derek], parang kung ano ang opinyon ko doon, susuportahan niya ako. Sabi ko, kung ako, gusto kong idemanda siya. Nalaman ko kasi na puwede palang magdemanda dahil sa mga words na ginamit niya.

"Sinabi nga ni Derek na susuportahan niya ako. And naniniwala siya na kailangan ng legal action tungkol sa ginawa ng taong yun," saad niya.

Paano niya makikilala yung nag-tweet sa kanya ng masasakit na salita?

"Hinahanap na namin siya," sabi ni Angelica. "May mga common friends pala kami. So, alam ko na yung full name niya. Alam ko na kung taga-saan siya sa Cebu. Alam ko kung saan siya nag-aral. So, unti-unti, baka maya-maya malaman ko na rin yung address niya.

"Sinasabi ko nga, kaming mg artista, gumagawa kami ng Twitter para mapalapit sa mga tao, sa mga fans namin, sa mga nagmamahal sa amin. So, huwag nilang gawing way yun para murahin kami, bastusin kami, kumbaga, tapak-tapakan yung pagkatao namin.

"Kasi, artista kaming nagbibigay ng saya at hindi kami nambabastos ng tao. So, huwag nilang gawin sa amin yun."

Ano ang naging reaksiyon ng boyfriend niyang si Derek Ramsay, na idinamay rin ng "fan ni Phil"? Bukod kasi sa pag-aartista ay miyembro rin ng frisbee national team si Derek.

"Tumawag sa akin si Derek dahil nabalitaan niya yun. Siyempre, galit na galit siya. Nabalitaan pa niya na sinabi nung bakla yata yun, na nagkabali-bali pa yung buto ni Derek wala namang nauuwing karangalan sa Pilipinas.

"Siyempre, sobra siyang nasaktan dun. I mean, buong-puso siyang naglalaro. And ano niya yun, e, passion niya yun. And hindi naman siya professional football player katulad ni Phil na..."Kumbaga, yun nga ang point ko, e, nakikilala na ngayon yung football. So, bakit hindi ka mag-focus dun?

"Kasi, I'm sure, kung kay Derek darating yung ganyang malaking opportunity na makikilala na rin yung frisbee, na ganito kalaki sa Pilipinas, titigilan niya na yung showbiz at ibibigay niya yung buong oras niya sa paglalaro ng frisbee. Kung yun talaga ang mahal niya, di ba?

"So, dun siya na-hurt na hindi naman yun totoo. Kasi, every time naman na umaalis siya ng Pilipinas, at kahit dito sa atin para makipag-compete, e, nananalo naman sila.

"And, nasasaktan pa siya kasi siya yung nagbibigay ng funds sa Philippine team, galing mismo sa bulsa niya. Nagpupunta siya ng Davao, ng Cebu, Dumaguete, nagti-take time siya para makakita ng mga frisbee player at makikipag-compete sila sa Shanghai, may competition sila sa Italy, may laban sila sa Brazil... Ang dami niyang ginagawa and inuuwing karangalan sa Pilipinas.

"And ang tanga niya ["fan ni Phil"], hindi pala niya alam yun. Wala pala siyang alam sa nangyayari sa Pilipinas. Tapos, kung makapag-tweet siya...ang galing niya, di ba?" litanya ng young actress.

What do you do in your spare time?

“I talk to my parents. We discuss our projects for the youth of Diladila, Sta. Rita, Pampanga. I am the SK chairperson there. Sometimes I also surf the Internet, read books and ride my motorbike.”

Are you into sports? How often do you play?

“Occasionally, I play badminton and volleyball when I’m on vacation with my cousins, family and friends. That’s our bonding moments.”

What’s your fondest wish now that you are in showbiz?

“To be one of those bright shining stars. I want to continue being a role model especially to the youth. Also, to save enough money for college to pursue my dream to become a lawyer.”





More than a celebrity little sister to her Ate Anne, Jasmine is determined to make a name of her own as she stars in the remake of Ang Utol Kong Hoodlum with JC de Vera.

What’s one thing you can’t live without?

“Lip balm and my BlackBerry. I hate it when my lips are dry and chapped. I contact my loved ones through my BB and update Twitter, too!”

What are you taking up in college?

“So far, I’m undecided. I’m interested in theater, photography and film, though. Who knows? I might change my mind again.”

What’s in your bag?

“Depends on how big my bag is. When it’s small, I have my BlackBerry, mints, lip balm, lipstick, lip gloss and my ATM card or some cash. When it’s a big bag, all of the above plus perfume, tissue, sunnies, charger, iTouch and other things that I need daily.”

Is it easier for you to tackle dramatic roles because of your theater background?

“Actually. Having a theater background helps a lot. When I was taking up Theater Arts, we had subjects like Voice Enhancement, Theater History and Technical Background, Theater Acting, etc. I apply everything I learned from school in every role/character I do. It’s easier for me to reach out to the audience. In theater they don’t just teach acting. What’s important is for you to develop self-confidence. I can say that I won’t be the person I am now if not for theater.”

What’s the name of your band? Will you still join them in the gigs?

“What people don’t know is that I’m a rocker at heart. I grew up listening to Pantera, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana, The Beatles, Garbage, Deftones, Silverchain, Paparoach, etc. Their kind of music influenced me to form my own band. In 2008, my bandmates (X Uy on guitars, Dion Ignacio on rhythm, Tim Toribio on bass and Paulo Pampuan on drums) started a female-fronted, post-melodic hardcore band called PHiLia, a Greek word that means brotherly love. We started playing in bars in Metro Manila and even out of town. Despite my busy showbiz schedule, I still manage to sit down and write songs with my bandmates. I love music so much so I keep going back to what I used to do before I joined showbiz.”

What is your beauty ritual before you go to sleep?

“I make sure I take off my make-up, wash my face with regular facial wash and then I apply moisturizer. Once in a while, I make my own facial organic mask. I read somewhere that egg white tightens the skin, I tried it once and it worked! That’s it.”

If you were a rock song, what would you be?

“I Think God Can Explain by Splender or New Age Girl by Dead Eye Dick.”

What do you find attractive in a guy?

“I know for sure when I like a guy…when I can’t look at him straight in the eye. Weakness ko talaga ’yung eyes. But I’m more particular with the guy’s personality.”

What do you enjoy doing more, acting or singing?

“My first love is really singing. I’ve been singing since I was a kid, influenced by my sister who is also into music scene back in the ‘80s. But now that I’m with TV5 as an actress, I become more and more challenged each time they give me a new role, though I believe that acting is a learning process. The more experience you have, the better you get, hopefully.”




Alex is the one who has been identified with TV5 the longest. She’s one of the main hosts of showbiz talk show Juicy and plays the role of Grace in TV5’s high-rating dramaserye Babaeng Hampaslupa (with an all-star cast led by Susan Roces).

Isang malaking proyekto di umano ang gagawin ni Kathryn Bernardo kaya bigla siyang mamaalam sa Mara Clara. Sa kanyang murang edad, nakitaan na ng brilyo sa pag-arte si Kathryn. Hindi maitatangging epektibo ang kanyang pagganap bilang Mara. Napaluha niya ang inyong mga gabi sa mabibigat niyang mga eksena. Kaya naman hindi nakapagtataka na mabigyan siya ng mas malaking proyekto.

Isang malaking pangyayari ang magbabago sa buhay ng mga Del Valle at David sa pagkawala ni Mara. Samantala, isang mabait at bagong Clara (Julia Montes) ang ating makikita. Pipilitin ni Clara na makuha ulit ang loob ni Elvira (Dimples Romana). May papasok kayang bagong tauhan na magpapahirap sa buhay ng mga Del valle at David?

Sino kaya ang magiging bagong kontrabida kung babait na si Clara?

Samantala tuluy-tuloy pa rin ang pangunguna ng Mara Clara sa ratings. Ayon sa Kantar Media /TNS, hindi pa rin natitinag sa unang puwesto ang kinababaliwang serye sa primetime. Pumalo ng 34% na national rating noong February 28 ang “Mara Clara” laban sa 17.1% lamang ng “Machete” ng GMA7.

Maki-iyak at samahan sila sa paghihinagpis sa pagpanaw ni Mara. Abangan at huwag palagpasin ang mga kapana-panabik na pangyayari sa pamilya ni Mara at Clara sa “Mara Clara,” pagkatapos ng ‘Mutya’ sa ABS-CBN.

Hall Pass - one week off from marriage to do whatever you want, no questions asked. That’s what best buddies Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) get from their wives in New Line Cinema’s outrageous comedy “Hall Pass” written and directed by the Farrelly Brothers (“There’s Something About Mary,” “Shallow Hal”).

In the film, Rick and his buddy Fred consider themselves average, maybe even above-average, husbands. Easygoing, dependable and gainfully employed, they’re the kind of guys who aren’t averse to pitching in with the household chores now and then, or stopping by the dry cleaner’s… the kind of guys who wouldn't dream of cheating on their wives.




Well, actually they would. Not cheat on them, necessarily, but dream about it. Every single day. With every woman they see.

“Rick is happily married, with kids and a wife he loves. He has a good job, a nice existence but, like a lot of men, he can’t help noticing women and this irritates his wife,” says co-director Peter Farrelly. The Farrellys also share screenwriting credit with Pete Jones and Kevin Barnett. Together, they felt that this eminently relatable scenario was ripe for some frank and irreverent exploration.

“The first thing that struck me about the story was how much comic potential it had. It’s a universal theme. If God came to me and said, ‘Pete, you’re with the hottest woman on the planet, she’s the best and there’s no one better,’ I’d probably still want to take a look at the second-best,” Peter admits. “Even if you’re happily married and committed, it doesn’t mean you stop looking. The question is how far do you take it?”




Owen Wilson, who stars as the easily distracted suburban dad, Rick, agrees. “Most guys can’t help noticing a good-looking woman walk by, but some of them do a better job at being subtle about it. With others, like Rick, it’s like they have their heads on a swivel.”

One of the ideas behind “Hall Pass” is that men - and women, too - are just hard-wired to look. And occasionally, they may also wonder. What if I wasn’t married? What could I be doing now? And with whom? Being a Farrelly brothers comedy, such probing philosophic questions are bound to lead down some dangerously slippery slopes.

Says Bobby Farrelly, “A lot of people joke about the seven-year itch and this is sort of an updated version of that. When you’re dealing with the sacred institution of marriage, you’re playing with fire, so we knew we had to handle it just right. But we weren’t afraid of tackling the subject and we certainly weren’t going to hold back on any of the jokes or the temptations…or anything else. If we think it’s funny, Pete and I will go for it. We love pushing the envelope.”

“‘Hall Pass’ is absolutely a comedy,” adds screenwriter Pete Jones. “But you never lose sight of the fact that there are consequences to what these characters do.”

Opening soon across the Philippines, “Hall Pass” is a New Line Cinema presentation to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

BURBANK, CA – March 1, 2011 – Principal photography is underway on Warner Bros. Pictures’ feature film adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s acclaimed novel “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.” The film stars Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks, and is being directed by Stephen Daldry (“The Reader,” “The Hours”) and produced by Scott Rudin (“The Social Network,” “True Grit”).

“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” also stars Thomas Horn, making his acting debut as 11-year-old Oskar Schell, an exceptional child with an off-kilter world view and a daunting mission ahead of him.

Oskar is convinced that his father (Hanks), who died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, has left a final message for him hidden somewhere in the city. Feeling disconnected from his grieving mother (Bullock) and driven by a relentlessly active mind that refuses to believe in things that can’t be observed, Oskar begins searching New York City for the lock that fits a mysterious key he found in his father’s closet. His journey through the five boroughs takes him beyond his own loss to a greater understanding of the observable world around him.

Shooting entirely in New York, Daldry directs the film from a screenplay by Eric Roth (“Forrest Gump,” “The Insider”). Celia Costas (“Doubt,” “Closer”) serves as executive producer with Mark Roybal (“Doubt”) and Nora Skinner (“The Reader”).




Also starring in the film are James Gandolfini as Ron, a new friend of Oskar’s mom; Zoe Caldwell as the boy’s grandmother; Max von Sydow as the man renting a room from Oskar’s grandmother, who befriends Oskar and accompanies him on his quest; and Viola Davis and Jeffrey Wright as a couple whose own tenuous relationship has a profound effect on Oskar.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Chris Menges (“The Mission,” “The Killing Fields”); production designer K.K. Barrett (“Where the Wild Things Are”); and costume designer Ann Roth (“The English Patient”).

“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” is currently scheduled for release in 2011 and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
