The Breakup Playlist earns P15 million on its opening day

The Breakup Playlist, the latest romantic-comedy movie from Star Cinema which stars Sarah Geronimo and Piolo Pascual, made 15 million pesos on its first day on cinemas nationwide.

The figure was revealed by Star Cinema's AdProm executive Mico Del Rosario @micodelrosario1 on his Instagram account.


Some showbiz observers looked at the figures a little below their expectations as both lead actors were box office drawers.

Geronimo, three-time Box Office Queen awardee, had already made a billion pesos for her movies in the past. Pascual, on the other hand, the reigning Box Office King, made half a billion pesos for his last movie Starting Over Again with Toni Gonzaga.

Directed by Dan Villegas (English Only Please), from the script of Antoinette Jadaone (That Thing Called Tadhana), The Breakup Playlist tells a story about an aspiring professional singer and a rock singer who collaborate in a song. As they work on their song, they start to develop feelings for each other.

In related news, Cheryl Burke and Thomas Roberts dropped out their hosting stints from Miss USA beauty pageant which is also under Miss Universe Organization owned by Donald Trump:


Cheryl Burke said in a statement: “In light of the recent statements made by Donald Trump and the subsequent decision by NBC to cut ties with Mr. Trump, I cannot in good conscience move forward with participating in this year’s Miss USA Pageant as its co-host. Effective today I have withdrawn from my duties with Miss USA. Although I will not be there in person, I wish all of the contestants much luck as I know how hard they’ve all been working over the last year to try and realize their dreams.

Meanwhile, Thomas Roberts tweet: "Best of luck to all #MissUSA2015 contestants this year & THX to the good people behind the scenes @MissUniverse - been a joy working w/you!"


Although, NBC has already announced that they won't be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12, the organization said that the show must go on:

We are disheartened by recent events but the show will go on. The Miss Universe Organization operates as an independent company. In its 64 year history, and under many owners, Miss Universe has developed into a globally recognized brand, with nearly 150 franchise holders domestically and internationally, the majority of whom are small business owners.

VIRAL | Then and Now: 10 Tween Stars Turned Bombshells.

Re-invention. This is how most former child or teen stars explain their transition from sweet to sexy, to offer something new to their audience, to ensure longevity in the business.

Angelica Pangniban, for instance, made a sharp turn from her "kawawa" roles in films when she top-billed "Santa Santita" at age 17. As the cruel and unforgiving Claudia in "Pangako Sa 'Yo," Panganiban is taking on a character that follows a calculated succession of roles in the past decade.

From innocent "alila" Becky, moody teenager Jelai, scorned wife Karyn, to the vengeful and sultry Rubi -- Panganiban, little by little, shed her child star image and took on increasingly daring portrayals.

While Panganiban's transition to a screen bombshell was slow but sure, this wasn't the case with some of her contemporaries, whose own re-invention was drastic and a solo decision and less a premeditated management choice.

In photos, here are other former tween actresses-turned-sexy stars

PAGEANT: Mexico Drops Out Of Competition At Miss Universe After Donald Trump's Racist Comments

MEXICO - President of Nuestra Belleza Mexico and Miss Universe 1991 winner Lupita Jones finally decided not to participate in the upcoming Miss Universe beauty pageant after the racist comments made by Donald Trump.


A few days ago, Miss Universe Organization owner and American business tycoon Donald Trump made a shocking racist comments against Mexico during his US presidency bid. He was quoted saying "[Mexico is] sending people that have lots of problems, and they are bringing those problems to us. They are bringing drugs, and bringing crime, and their rapists."


The racist comments of Donald Trump sparked outrage among Mexicans and other Latino personalities across America. And one of them is Lupita Jones which happens to be the president of Nuestra Belleza Mexico, the organization that's sending official candidates at the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

Lupita Jones wrote in her official Facebook page: "As a Mexican I am really offended and angry, like everyone else. As Miss Universe I think Donald Trump is doing a lot of damage to the organization. Miss Universe is a competition with a lot of history in the world that has been categorized for calling countries to participate in an event where friendship and unity are the focus, and shooting down cultural barriers."

"It is sad because his racist comments miss what the competition has promoted and represented for so many years, an atmosphere of harmony and peace among nations, for which, in agreement with Televisa, we will not participate in Miss Universe."

Como mexicana me siento muy ofendida e indignada igual que todos, como Miss Universo me parece que Donald Trump le está...
Posted by Lupita Jones on Monday, June 29, 2015

Valeen Montenegro is red-hot on the cover of the July 2015 issue of FHM Philippines.

The foxy TV5 actress and TV host makes her men’s magazine debut in a red bikini that shows off her finely toned physique in the cover image shot on a beach.

“Plus, this couldn’t have been a better time to do this. Kasi if you feel sexy and you know you worked your ass off, why don’t you be proud of it?”

The magazine’s website acknowledged her showbiz pedigree by noting that she is a granddaughter of 1950s movie stars Mario Montenegro (the John Lloyd Cruz of his era) and Letty Alonzo.

Valeen is a mainstay of the long-running gag show “Tropa Mo Ko Unli” and the new sitcom “No Harm No Foul”. She is famous for her comedic work in “Gandumb and Gandumber”, her regular “Tropa” segment with fellow FHM cover girl Ritz Azul.

PBB 737 Gets Suspension Notice from MTRCB


 
This just in! The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has summoned the people behind the production of the latest edition of ABS-CBN's hit reality show "Pinoy Big Brother" to a proceeding on July 9.

The agency, according to source, worries about the possible effect of the housemates behavior to young viewers considering their very young age.

Since its pilot episode on June 20, the online community went crazy over the suspected gay romance between 12-year-old housemate Bailey May from UK and 18 year-old Atenean athlete Kenzo Gutierrez. Although, netizens are in favor of their bromance inside PBB House (proving the numerous Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts created solely for their "loveteam" which fans called #KenLey), others thought it is nothing but exploitation. Just early this week, the show has been airing the brewing romance between Bailey and 16-year-old Barbie Imperial from Albay.

Check out some of the PBB 737 clips below taken from the show's 24/7 live feed:








Do you agree with MTRCB's call to put the show on strict monitoring? SPG rating?

Is suspension a fair move? 

Is there really an exploitation going on for ratings' sake?
