Boy Abunda, Cabinet Secretary?

Tatanggapin kaya ni Boy Abunda ang alok o hindi upang maging kasali siya sa Cabinet ni President-elect Noynoy Aquino?

In an interview at his Times Street home, Sen. Aquino told the press that Abunda is suited for his administration because of his "strong marketing and communication skills."



"Think about it from a marketing perspective, things that you would want to market the Philippines for. He will be a good communicator," Aquino said of Abunda, known to be a close friend of the Senator's sister, Kris Aquino.

Both Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino host two entertainment programs In ABS-CBN—the primetime showbiz news program SNN, and the Sunday showbiz talk show The Buzz.


Abunda, known as the "King of Talk," was also the Aquino family's spokesman when former President Cory Aquino died in August last year.

Aquino did not say what department he feels Abunda would be most suited. He did not deny or confirm reports that Abunda may possibly be assigned to the Department of Tourism, in a secretary-level position. "It's possible or lower. Usec [Undersecretary], Asec [Assistant Secretary] also," Aquino told the press.

Robin Padilla, nagkaroon ng apat na asawa?

 Ibig sabihin ni Robin Padilla  nagkaroon siya ng apat na asawa? Kaya ba iniwanan siya ng asawa niyang si Liezl ?

Tinanong uli siya ni Karen: “Kaya mo ba ng 4 (na asawa)?”
“Ginawa ko na nga ’yun dati, hindi kinaya, kaya ngayon nagpa-fasting ako,” sagot ng action superstar na hanggang ngayon ay hindi nababawasan ang appeal sa mga kababaihan.
“Ano ’yung nagbago sa ‘yo?” tanong uli ni Karen.
“Kumonti ang dalaga. Akala ng karamihan, dumami. Nagkaroon ng limit, nawala yung ‘hit and run,’” sagot uli ni Robin na nagsabing wala naman siyang pinapanigang relihiyon dahil siya’y naging Kristiyano muna bago naging Muslim.

Willie Revillame on an indefinite leave

After the meeting with the ABS-CBN top brass, Willie is put on an indefinite leave to be back after three months. (indefinite leave ba ito?).


He is not also released from his contract so that he has to wait for it to expire. In the meantime, the management is going to continue looking for a replacement and possibel reformatting of the program.


According to Ricky Lo:

But Funfare’s VDPA (yes, yes, the Very Deep Penetration Agent) has something to say but I’d rather capsulize the VDPA’s words in three short guesses:


l. ABS-CBN will continue to look for a replacement for Willie until it finds a permanent one;


2. ABS-CBN will reformat the show (since, I agree with observers, “Wowowee is Willie and Willie is Wowowee,” not the same without each other); or


3. ABS-CBN will scrap Wowowee altogether and replace it with a new one (or let the pre-programming Showtime take its place).


But wait, there’s hope for a “reconciliation.” As the “official statement” mentioned, “ABS-CBN management and Willie will discuss what will be in the best interest of the viewing public.”

KC Concepcion, wala pang boyfriend?

 She's beautiful, she's educated and she's a daughter of Sharon Cuneta, the megastar and Gabby Concepcion, a heart throb then and now to his fans. There is only one problem. At her age, she is still single.

When KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual were still doing their first teleserye Lovers In Paris, the matinee idol refused to answer anything related to the rumored budding relationship between him and the new singer-actress. Piolo said he does not want people to think that it's part of the promotion of their show.

Charice Pempengco is now a Catholic

Nagtataka ako bakit nagpapabinyag pa si Charice at si Carl ang kaniyang kapatid. Yon pala dati Iglesia ni Cristo sila, ang relihiyon ng kanilang ama. ang dami niyang ninong at ninang. Mapalad na bata.

Catholic na ako!" exclaimed Charice Pempengco after her baptism and confirmation held yesterday, May 22, at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Pasig City.

Clad in a white dress, she and her brother Carl were formally welcomed into the Catholic Church by Bishop Francisco San Diego, who presided over the ceremony. The rite was attended by 23 pairs of godparents—which included ABS-CBN's big bosses Gabby Lopez and Charo Santos-Concio, ABS-CBN Global's Raffy Lopez, Star Cinema's Malou Santos, Kapamilya hosts Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino-Yap, columnist-host Ricky Lo, broadcaster Karen Davila, TV Patrol World anchor Julius Babao and wife Tintin Bersola, radio host Jobert Sucaldito, Dra. Vicki Belo, director Lauren Dyogi, to name a few.

Willie Revillame, magpasya na

Matigas pa rin si Willie sa plano niyang magparelease sa kaniyang knotrata sa ABS-CBN. Sumulat na siya kay Gabby Lopez kung saan ibinuhos niya ang kaniyang sama ng loob.

"Frustrated" ang terminong ginamit ng insider upang ilarawan ang nararamdaman ni Willie magmula nang sumambulat ang galit niya sa TV hanggang sa kasalukuyan. Nare-recognize na raw ng TV host na ang pagkakasabog ng emosyon nito sa May 4 telecast ng Wowowee, ang noontime variety show na kanyang hino-host sa ABS-CBN, ay "mali" at "hindi dapat naging ganoon."

"May mali," paulit-ulit raw na sinasabi nito sa ilang kaibigang matalik. Hindi nga raw niya dapat "ginanoon ang ABS," na parang hinamon na niya ng harap-harapan sa mata ng publiko.

Pero agad-agad ding pumapasok ang pagiging defensive ni Willie, ayon pa rin sa insider. Paulit-ulit din daw naririnig sa TV host ang: "Same network kami, pero inaatake ako. Pareho kaming talent dito, bakit ako binabanatan sa ere? 'Tapos, pinapayagan lang ng ABS? Di ba dapat pinoprotektahan kaming mga talents? Nagpapakapagod kami rito, nagkakasakit, tapos papayagan nilang ganunin lang kami?"

Marian Rivera, suplada?

 Totoo kaya itong sinulat ni Dolly Carvajal tungkol kay Marian Rivera. (source)

 

Marian Rivera strikes again!

My ad agency contacts were appalled by her behavior during a shoot for a major product endorsement.
“She made the reporters wait for five hours and when she was interviewed about the product, she gave them crappy answers,” my source reveals.
“The height of it all was she kept cursing during the pictorial. All smiles siya pero in between shots, bumubula bibig niya sa pagmumura. And when a radio jock asked her to record a short greeting to be aired on an AM station, she did it with a lola-sounding voice. Di ma-e-ere ang greeting niya kasi di makilala na si Marian ang nagsasalita,” my source says.
Was she just having a bad day? But that’s no excuse. She’s paid millions as an endorser. The least she can do is be pleasant even just for the duration of the shoot. As she says in one of her ads, “Beautiful!” If only her attitude is as beautiful as her face.

Alalahanin niya, ang popularidad, pansamantala lang.  

Willie Revillame is still with Wowowee

Sabi ni Willie Revillame,

"Hindi pa naman ako umalis. Malalaman ng lahat kung ano ang desisyon ko. May panahon para diyan, may takdang panahon para diyan," Revillame told showbiz talk show host Cristy Fermin in a taped interview aired Sunday afternoon at TV-5’s "Paparazzi."

Willie threatened to resign if ABS CBN is not going to fire Jobert Sucaldito.

Congresswoman Lucy Torres Gomez

 Lucy Torres-Gomes  is one of the two movie celebrities who were elected as congresswomen.  The other one is Lani Mercado Revilla, the wife of another movie star-turned politician, Richard Gomez.

This is the news:

Like Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos, Lucy Torres, who has just been proclaimed as congresswoman of the fourth district of Leyte, fought a hard fight, with her husband Richard Gomez beside her. Barely a week before the May 10 elections, Lucy replaced Richard who was disqualified by COMELEC due to lack of residency.
“I was ready to be a congressman’s wife,” Lucy told Funfare in an exclusive interview, “and I ended up the congresswoman.”
It was destiny. The only member of the Torres clan who ever ventured into politics was Lucy’s grandfather who served as mayor of Ormoc City.
“It wasn’t hard for me to convince Lucy to run,” recalled Richard.

Governor Vilma Santos-Recto

Governor Vilma Santos is reelected. The wife of another politician who was elected as Senator, Ralph Recto, Vilma Santos in on her second term as Batangas governor. She is the mother of Lucky Manzano another movie actor.

The first thing that reelected Batangas Gov. Vilma “Ate Vi” Santos did when she learned that she won by a landslide in the last May 10 elections

was heave a big sigh of relief.It was the hardest campaign that I ever survived,” Vi told Funfare in an exclusive interview. “Sa lahat ng laban ko, ito ang pinaka-mahirap. Three parties joined forces against me, so my team and I had to work harder. Ang daming issues na ibinato sa akin but fortunately, as the election results showed, my constituents didn’t believe them.”

William Revillame nanindigan

 Hintay pa rin ang beauty ko kung sinong susuko, ang ABS CBN ba o si Willie Revillame? Abangan.

MANILA, Philippines - Three days after giving an ultimatum to his ABS-CBN bosses, popular TV host Willie Revillame has remained mum even as online critics asked for his resignation from the top-rated noontime show "Wowowee."
Revillame, considered one of the highest-paid entertainers in local showbiz, was a no-show during Friday's episode of "Wowowee" after taking an indefinite leave from the program since Wednesday.
His absence, however, did not go unnoticed by his die-hard fans who asked ABS-CBN management to bring the popular host back.
"Si Willlie kasi alam niya kung kailan dapat ibigay ang pera," said one elderly fan.
The appeal has also been supported by the "Pro-Willie Movement" group on Facebook, which has 2,000 members.

Si Annabelle Rama nagkaila na siniraan si Noynoy Aquino

Maka-GIBO pala si Annabelle Rama. Panay pa rin ang intriga sa kaniya o siya ang nang-iintriga? Inakusahan siya na sinisiraan niya si Noynoy.

Hindi ko sinasabi na abnormal si Noynoy, wala akong sinabing ganyan. Ni hindi ko kilala ‘yung taong ‘yun. Paano ko sasabihin na abnormal siya? Wala akong sinisiraan, ang kinakampanya ko lang ay kandidato ko, si Gibo. Iyang nagsasabi na sinabi kong abnormal si Noynoy sinisiraan ako. Ayoko ng ganyan.”The malicious SMS that Annabelle herself forwarded to the website read:
“GOT THIS>In 1992 Iglesia ni Cristo backed up Danding Cojuanco. Danding lost! FVR (Fidel V. Ramos) won! INC has only 2M voters, not 6M! Anabelle continued, ‘Hindi pwedeng iboboto natin ang kandidato dahil kapatid lang ni Kris! Remember, 6 years ito! 6 years!
“Annabelle Rama lacks sleep and her voice sounds tired from campaigning for Gibo. ‘He's the most qualified! Alam niya gagawin pag humarap sa ibang bansa, hindi gaya ni Noynoy na magtatanong pa kay Mar!’ Anabelle's latest sortie was in Batangas, where she had her talents in tow.”

SUCALDITO VERSUS WILLIE REVILLAME

Nagbanta ang sikat na TV host na si Willie Revillame na magre-resign siya bilang host ng Wowowee kapag hindi pinatalsik sa ABS-CBN ang segment host ng The Buzz at entertainment columnist na si Jobert Sucaldito.

Ito ang magandang abangan. Alin ang pipiliin. Si Revillame na nagdadala ng taksan taksan ng kuwarta sa ABSCBN o si Sucaldito na isa lamang piyon sa The Buzz.

Ito ang balita. Basahin habang nagpapapak ako ng mais.

Sa live episode ng Wowowee kaninang tanghali, May 4, ay hinamon ng galit na galit na si Willie ang ABS-CBN management na tanggalin sa Kapamilya network si Jobert dahil diumano sa pang-iinsulto ng huli sa mga contestant ng kanyang noontime show.






Tinira ni Willie si Sucaldito dahil sa pagkukuwestiyon ng huli kung bakit pinapayagan ng Wowowee na maging contestants ang high school students na ang general average ay 75 hanggang 79. Ang basa rito ni Willie ay sinasabi ni Sucaldito na mahina ang ulo ng mga pinagkukuhang contestants.

VICKI BELO WALANG MANNERS?

 Kahit na anong deny ni  Vicki Belo na wala na sila ni Hayden Kho, dumadalo pa rin ito sa mga court hearing ni Kho. Itong latest ay nainis ang abugado ni Katrina nang nagtatawa si Vicki Belo habang nagbibigay ng testimoniya si Katrina Halili.  Bastos ba? Kahit mataas ang pinag-aralan?


Ito ang descripsiyon ng abugado sa ugali ni Vicki Belo. Sa US, ipagtutulakan yan palabas sa korte. Ewan ko ba, sabay, suklay ng kilay na nagulo sa pagsimangot.

LAWYER FUMES WHILE KATRINA KEEPS HER COOL. In a separate interview, Atty. Palad aired his displeasure over Dr. Belo's alleged lack of decorum during his client's cross-examination.

"Tawa siya nang tawa," Atty. Palad related, "to the point na halos humihiga na sa bench na nakataas na ang paa, e. Hindi naman siya parte ng proceeding at hindi kasama. Hinayaan siya ng court manood, pero mag-behave naman. Napaka-unprofessional naman, so I called the attention of the court to admonish Dr. Belo to make untoward reactions kasi kaharap niya si Ms. Halili."

Claudine Barreto mawawala ang teleserye?

 Gaano katotoo na titigbaking ang bagong teleserye ni Claudine sa GMA? Intriga lang ba ito. 

Ito ang balita.

Literal ngang a matter of life and death. Kelan lang isinilang ang show ni Claudine, heto’t maugong na tsismis tungkol sa pagkamatay nito. Pero tugon ko, wala naman akong nababalitaan tungkol sa cancellation ng Claudine, na nakaka-tatlong episode pa lang as of last Saturday.

Wawa naman. 

Asa pa kayo kay Nora Aunor na darating

Sabi nga ni Kuya Germs ang masugid niyang tagapagtanggol...

Kita n’yo na, tama ang sabi ko na huwag ma­nalig sa mga sali-salita tungkol sa pagbabalik ni No­ra Aunor sa bansa. ‘Di ba sabi ko maniwala na lang tayo kapag nandito na siya.
Akala natin andito siya sa birthday niya na ma­gaganap sa buwang ito. But reliable sources said na mga June or July pa siya darating, ta­tapusin muna niya ang marami niyang singing en­gagements sa abroad. Postponed ang mga ito.

Ituloy pa ba ang mga concert niya ay hindi naman siya kumakanta. Gusto lang niya makipagpicture-picture sa mga fans na ang laki ng mga ibinayad.
