Kim Chiu reacts to rumors linking James Reid to her sister


"Hindi ko alam ate (Kris Aquino), hindi ko siya kasama sa house." 
 
Thus did Kim Chiu admit in an interview on “Kris TV’ last Tuesday, December 16, that she doesn’t know if rumors linking James Reid to her sister Twinkle are true.

The rumors started after photos of James and Twinkle together circulated online.

James Reid’s reaction

James, for his part, said in an interview in “Bandila” that he and Twinkle are just friends.

"We’ve met each other a couple of times outside. We know each other. Common friends, we’re common friends with Andi Eigenmann."

Aside from their photos, a screencap of a supposed text conversation between Twinkle and James spread in social media. 

"Well I actually didn’t say anything wrong so it didn’t really affect me. It’s up to her but I'm just being friendly," James reacted. 

Not yet time

The loveless James said he is not dating anyone because of his busy schedule. He and his Erika Villongco broke up months ago.

"Actually I intended to be friends with her again but just not now. I don’t think it’s time yet."

James entered showbiz after his stint in the "Pinoy Big Brother" house. But he rose to fame because of the movie Diary ng Panget," which teamed him up with onscreen partner Nadine Lustre.

Gerald Anderson sees himself marrying Maja Salvador


Gerald Anderson has learned not to make promises, especially in front of the camera, when it comes to relationships.

"Halos lahat high profile yung naging relationships ko. Isa sa natutunan ko is I turn my promises into goals na lang.  Does it make me less of a man dahil hindi ko na kayang mag-promise? Of course not,” Gerald said at the press conference of ABS-CBN’s Christmas TV special “Give Love on Christmas,” where he stars with his girlfriend, Maja Salvador.

Longest relationship

It will be recalled that Gerald courted Sarah Geronimo and had a relationship with Kim Chiu.
He is so serious with Maja,  Gerald  wants to have the ‘longest relationship na sana hanggang marriage” with her.

“I pray that I’ll do my best.”

Although controversies gave their relationship a rough start, Gerald and Maja’s  love for each other triumphed over the problems.

No promises

“Dati ko pang sinasabi iyon and I made promises but that’s life, minsan may mga bagay na hindi nangyayari. I’m not making any promises, I’m just making that my number one goal in life to have that very long relationship na to stay with the feelings that you have for that person sa simula pa lang. Alam natin na napakahirap niyan but iyan ang goal ko. It’s not a promise, it’s a goal. I just pray to God that it works well.”
He also said that  the challenges they faced as a couple were blessings in disguise.
“Ang daming kong natutunan sa kanya (Maja),”  Gerald said.

Although hesitant to work with each other at first, Gerald and Maja changed their mind when they read the story of   “Give Love on Christmas Day: The Gift of Life.”

The Christmas special  starts airing over ABS-CBN starting Monday, December 22.

Jon Santos: Social media raised the bar for comedians


Established stand-up comedian Jon Santos acknowledged the role social media plays in improving the lot of comedy.
The thespian, who recently appeared as the transsexual Bernadette in the stage musical “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” sees it as a way for punch lines to become more intelligent and less predictable.
“Every minute a joke is posted and spread out for free kaya comedians ngayon hindi na pwedeng basta-basta mangopya na lang because some people may have already read or heard that somewhere,” he told Yahoo Philippines.

The pressure to be original, edgier
Jon, mentored by comedian Tessie Tomas, is as well known for his wit as he is with his impersonations of Vilma Santos, Kris Aquino and Joseph Estrada.
But he admits it isn’t easy.
“Mahirap patawanin ang Pinoy na techie. Libre ang jokes sa telepono and nagkalat na free videos. The pressure to be original, edgier and novel is there,” he confessed.
“But it’s all good. Tumaas ang quality ng pagpapatawa at pagsusulat dahil dito. The bar is raised.”

Retro kid
Jon, who completed the second run of the play in Resorts World Manila following a stint in Singapore was asked about his take on 80s music, which fills the musical.
“I’m a proud member of the 70s and 80s disco generation,” he replied. “The music that came out of that period is timeless kasi we noticed that yung soundtrack ng ‘Priscilla’ reached out to the hearts of all the generations who came to see us, may they be baby boomers, Gen X-ers, or millennials.”
Songs featured in the musical include “I Will Survive,” “I Love the Nightlife,” “Shake Your Groove Thing” and “Go West.”

Did Angel Locsin unfollow Anne Curtis on Instagram?


Did Angel Locsin unfollow Anne Curtis on Instagram? According to one user @thecelebvelvet, Luis Manzano's girlfriend (Angel) unfollowed his besfriend (Anne).

Really?

Angel and Anne are good friends. They've been together through different significant charity missions plus they get to bond together when the former makes a co-hosting job on It's Showtime where the latter is a regular host.

But according to Angel's followers, it isn't true at all. @therealangellocsin still follows @annecurtissmith. Even Angel herself attested to it and we quote:

Angel denied the allegation and told the user to be careful of starting yet another issue. The actress stressed out that she and Anne are good friends.

So there!

Kris Aquino Takes Josh's Medicine, Ends Up Killing Herself


Kris Aquino, on Sunday night, almost killed herself after mistakenly took the medicine of her son Joshua that has ibuprofen, which she is allergic to.

In her official Instagram account @aquinokristinabernadette, the Queen of All Media said she took the medicine supposedly for her headache and body aches.

"I woke up with a severe allergic reaction. I took Kuya Josh's medicine by mistake last night for my headache and body aches and it had ibuprofen which I'm allergic to. Now in bed, groggy na from my Benadryl shot. Thank you for the house call Doc Aye. Bed rest today," she wrote.

In another post, Kris posted another photo showing her with a swollen face which she calls "pang horror". She also told her follower to take extra precautions when taking medicines.

"Posted what happened (dedma na that my pic from this morning looks pang horror talaga) to warn that we can all get severe allergic reactions when we mix up medicines that look alike.

Soon as I’m healthy, will put all our meds in individual Ziploc bags with clear labels. I wasn’t careful because of over fatigue. But thank God I’m responding to my antihistamines.

Thank you for all your get well soon messages."








On Tuesday morning, Kris returned on TV for a live episode of her daily morning show "Kris TV".

"Deadma bells sa allergy na matindi. Ayaw ko na nga eh, kung pwede lang ihiga ito. Kung alam niyo lang I am floating sa dami ng antihistamine sa katawan ko," Kris said, adding that the swelling from the allergic reaction, according to her doctor, will subside after five days.

Trailer: "Mad Max: Fury Road" Starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron


Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow have just released the official theatrical teaser trailer for George Miller's highly anticipated "Mad Max: Fury Road".

Watch below:


Haunted by his turbulent past, Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa (Charlize Theron).

They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” - the fourth in the franchise’s history - stars Tom Hardy (“The Dark Knight Rises”) in the title role, alongside Oscar winner Charlize Theron (“Monster,” “Prometheus”) as the Imperator, Furiosa. The film also stars Nicholas Hoult (“X-Men: Days of Future Past”) as Nux; Hugh Keays-Byrne (“Mad Max”, “Sleeping Beauty”) as Immortan Joe; and Nathan Jones (“Conan the Barbarian”) as Rictus Erectus. Collectively known as The Wives, Zoë Kravitz (“Divergent”) plays Toast, Riley Keough (“Magic Mike”) is Capable, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (“Transformers: Dark of the Moon”) is Splendid.




They are joined by supermodel Abbey Lee as The Dag and Courtney Eaton as Fragile, both of whom are making their big screen debuts. Also featured in the movie are Josh Helman as Slit, Jennifer Hagan as Miss Giddy, and singer/songwriter/performer iOTA as Coma-Doof Warrior. The cast is rounded out by well-known Australian actors John Howard and Richard Carter, supermodel Megan Gale, Angus Sampson, Joy Smithers, Gillian Jones, Melissa Jaffer and Melita Jurisic.

Opening across the Philippines in 2D and 3D theaters on May 2015, “Mad Max: Fury Road” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
