Xian Lim is MYX Celebrity VJ this June
Xian Lim is MYX Celebrity VJ this June
MYX Celebrity VJ for the month of June, Xian Lim, never thought that he would finally get the spot after failing twice from joining MYX’s VJ search years back before joining showbusiness.
He admitted in an interview, “I auditioned in 2009 to be a MYX VJ, but I wasn’t chosen. Now, I can’t believe that I was picked to be this month’s Celebrity VJ.”
When asked about his experience in MYX, he said that it’s really a cool and fun experience. “I always wanted to be a host, so there’s no doubt that I enjoyed being a VJ.”
Xian showed exceptional talent in hosting when he hosted the Bb. Pilipinas pageant with Iza Calzado, Venus Raj and Georgina Wilson.
Not only that, the success of Xian’s newly released album, “So It’s You” under Star Records gave him another reason to rejoice. His debut album has been in the number one spot for three consecutive weeks. “I’m so happy that many are supporting my album, I wrote the music and lyrics myself.”
According to Xian, the transition from acting to singing is difficult especially if people have always known you to be an actor, but he feels very grateful that his fans continue to support his singing career.
“The next big thing that I will get into is dancing. That’s the next project,” Xian said laughing.
Catch Xian in “Pop MYX “ (June 3 to 7), “Pinoy MYX” (June 10 to 16), “Mellow MYX” (June 17 to 23) and “My MYX” (June 24 to 30). For more updates, log on to www.myxph.com. Also, download the MYX Charts iOS from the App Store and install free of charge.
Christian Bautista’s girl extends Phl stay
Romanian looker Carla Dunareneu thought two weeks was all it would take to visit boyfriend Christian Bautista in the Philippines for the nth time. But it turned out that her latest visit to the country would take longer than usual.
Carla started getting offers, one of them a role in Regal Entertainment’s adult drama “The Bride & The Lover”, which topbills Jennlyn Mercaldo, Paulo Avelino and Lovi Poe.
So she extended her stay for several more months. Now, Carla has become “Filipinized.”
Filipino stomach
“My stomach has become completely Filipino,” she admits, smiling. Carla feasts on adobo and sinigang, dishes completely alien to her when she first met Christian in Singapore, where they did the Pan-Asian TV series “The Kitchen Musical.”
Carla even got herself a talent manager, Girlie Rodis, who will help her career take off in the Philippines.
And now that she’s in love with a Filipino, Carla feels blessed at finding someone she can share her deepest thoughts and feelings with.
“I think it’s really nice that we can talk for hours on end and really get along,” Carla gushes.
The romantic spark, she goes on, did not appear overnight. They started as friends.
Carla didn’t even know Christian is a singer.
“I had to look him up in the Net to see who he is.”
When she and Christian started feeling something more special was going on, they did their best to “separate the professional from the personal”.
So they didn’t officially become a couple until Feb. 14, after “The Kitchen Musical” wrapped up.
On her relationship with Christian
The relationship, Carla says, is “going great.”
Now that she’s staying longer in the Philippines, she is glad for the chance to “spend more time together (with Christian) and strengthen our relationship.”
Carla realizes this is something they can’t do when they live on opposite sides of the world.
“There’s only so much you can do when you’re overseas,” she explains.
Carla is just as excited at being directed by Joel Lamangan in “The Bride & The Lover.”

Jed asks Pinoys to support local artists
Jed doesn’t see anything wrong with foreign artists performing in the country, since he himself loves watching shows of international acts. But he admits foreign acts give OPM artists a new challenge when it comes to getting support from local concert viewers.
“Sa totoo lang, oo, sobrang hirap kase kapag foreign artists, tickets nila mahal. And people will really save up to watch foreign artists. Ako guilty ako diyan, fan ako ng concerts so I watch all the concerts na kaya kong panoorin,” Jed said at the press conference of “Icons at the Arena: Masters of OPM” on Wednesday, May 30 at SM Mall of Asia Arena.
He joins OPM bigwigs in “Icons at the Arena: Masters of OPM” on June 16. The show celebrates Filipino music and formally opens the SM Mall of Asia Arena. The star-studded concert also features Lea Salonga, Gary Valenciano, Martin Nievera, Jose Mari Chan, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, Basil Valdez, Freddie Aguilar, Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Juris Fernandez, Jed Madela, Piolo Pascual, Bamboo, Arnel Pineda and The CompanY. They will be paying tribute to OPM legends such as Ryan Cayabyab and George Canseco.
'Sad and difficult'
Jed finds it “sad and difficult” that some Filipino concert goers would rather save money to watch pricey international acts than to go to a local concert.
“Siyempre, kapag Pinoy iipunin na lang yung pera para mapanuod si Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Bruno Mars kase minsan lang naman sila anito. Kase yung mga local artists parati naman sila andito, nakikita natin sa “ASAP.” But, you know, for us artists, it’s sad. It’s difficult.”
“Ang pinaka-plea naming mga local artists, it’s not bad to support international acts because it’s also good for us to see how it is done, pero sana kung sumusporta tayo ng international acts, sana suportahan rin natin yung local acts,” he adds.
Studying offers
Jed revealed that his contract with Universal Records expired last May 21. He hasn’t signed up with any record label yet and is still studying offers.
Jed said that he is in good terms with Universal Records and his decision not to renew his contract has nothing to do with his wish to release more original songs.
“With Universal, it’s a joint effort with regards to the album na ilalabas. Of course, there’s compromise. Personally, I love to release ne materials, but we also have to think of business side na kailangan rin nating bumenta. It’s not part of my decision to renew, na hindi ako happy. Whatever I asked naman from Universal, nabibigay naman nila.”

Can pick-up lines make a box-office movie?
Examples of pick up lines from Senator Miriam: "Ang pag-ibig, parang pasahe sa jeep, kung minsan di ka nasusuklian"; "Pangalan mo pa lang kinikilig na ako, paano na kung magkaapelyido na tayo?" and "Straw ka ba? Kasi sipsip ka na, plastic ka pa."
The big question is: Can pick up lines make a box-office movie?"
Ogie Alcasid thinks so. He and “Bubble Gang” co-star Michael V came up with the idea of making a movie out of pick-up lines.
Ogie even thought of getting Senator Miriam as guest in GMA Films and Regal Entertainment’s "Boy Pick Up: The Movie". But she has no time.
Playing the title role for the first time makes Ogie feel pressured and excited.
"I also felt pressure doing the movie but the kind of pressure that is positive. Iba Ito sa paggawa ng concert."
He is excited because "after 25 years in the industry, ngayon lang ako nakapag-title role!"
Ogie also released "Boy Pick Up, The Album" last May 3. It has six songs.
Directed by Dominic Zapata, the movie also stars Dennis Trillo, Solenn Heussaff, Sam Pinto, Gwen Zamora, Jackie Rice, Ellen Adarna and Sarah Labhati. Special guests are Sen. Bong Revilla, Derek Ramsay, Dingdong Dantes, Boy Abunda, Gina Alajar and Pepe Smith.

Marian on Sheena’s 'pregnancy': It’s my fault
"Kasi lagi ako nagdadala ng hilaw na mangga with bagoong sa set (of their Sunday show, GMA’s "Tweets for My Sweet"). Sarap na sarap kami sa set kumakain nito. Hayun, akala nila siguro buntis o naglilihi na si Sheena," Marian told members of the entertainment press who visited her on the set of "My Beloved" at Sta. Ana church on June 1.
She adds, "Sheena texted me, sabi niya 'Ate, kaloka nababalitang buntis daw ako!' Worried daw siya kasi marami siyang kamag-anak sa probinsya na nagtatanong kung totoong buntis siya. Sabi ko naman tawanan mo na lang, alam mo naman na hindi totoo, maglalaho din ang tsismis na yan. Ako nga nakailang buntis issue na ako pero sampung taon na di pa naman lumalabas, ha ha ha!"
Marian was about to shoot a wedding scene with real-life boyfriend and “My Beloved” co-star Dingdong Dantes that afternoon.
"Yes, ikakasal na naman kami ni Dong (Dingdong),” Marian gleefully said. "Actually, mula nung nag-partner kami ni Dong, wala na kaming ginawa kundi magpakasal. Pati sa movies namin. Kailangan talaga yata sa soap opera may wedding na magaganap para masaya."
But what about their real wedding?
"Hay naku, matagal pa yan, marami pa kami dapat gawin, dami pa kaming trabaho, marami pa dapat i-consider," Marian answered.
Marian said she was hoping to go on vacation after her previous TV project ("Amaya") but "My Beloved" came along and was aired earlier than planned.
"Akala ko after 'Amaya,' makakapahinga ako pero nagkarun ng panibagong project kaagad. Blessing pa rin ito for which I am very grateful lalo na magkasama pa kami ni Dong. Marami talagang blessing dito, like nakatrabaho ko sina Jennica Garcia at si Tita Nova (Villa) among others. Para sa akin, grab lang grab kapag may project na dumarating. Saka na ang pahinga."
New York-bound
That much-needed vacation is finally taking shape. After taping episodes of "Tweet for my Sweet" and her last scenes for "My Beloved," Marian will join Dingdong (who flew to New York for the Philippine Independence Day celebration there) for two shows in Canada. "Baka two weeks kami mawawala so kahit papaano makakapahinga na rin. Inggit nga ako kay Dong kasi may New York pa siya."
Marian stressed, "Dapat namnamin ko talaga ang trip na ito kasi whenwe come back, sigurado ko, mapapasabak na naman kami sa trabaho." She has no definite project yet but "pagbalik ko, GMA will discuss with me some forthcoming projects."

Daniel willing to wait for Kathryn
But Daniel says he and Kathryn are “best friends” and not a couple. Still, he does not dismiss the possibility that the friendship can blossom into something deeper.
“Pwede naman (to go beyond friendship), wala namang problema doon. Kaso wala pa siguro sa tamang panahon,” he said at the launch of his debut album “Hinahanap-hanap Kita” in SM Skydome on Monday, June 4.
Willing to wait
He added that he’s willing to wait for Kathryn, who said in an interview that she can give Daniel a chance if he is sincere and loyal to her.
“Maghihintay ako kahit maputi na ang buhok at kahit umabot man ako sa langit,” he said, smiling.
Daniel said Kathryn is different from all the girls he knows. He even dedicated “Prinsesa,” a song in his album to her.
“Iba po talaga si Kathryn sa mga babaeng nakilala ko. Na kay Kathryn yung mga tipo ng babae na gusto ko. And siya yung nagpapasaya talaga sa akin.”
Although his parents, Rommel Padilla (Robin Padilla’s brother) and Karla Estrada are separated, they made Daniel happy by showing up at the album launch to give their support.
“Masaya po kasi kahit hiwalay na sila, magkasama po sila (dito). Parang best friends. Sobrang nakakatuwa kasi dumating yung mga magulang ko and mga kaibigan ko. Yung mga fans, kahit wala pa ako, sobrang sigawan sila,” Daniel shared.
Daniel stays with his mom. So her presence did not surprise him. It was his father’s presence that was unexpected.
The new singer said he suddenly felt shy as he doesn’t usually sing in front of his family.
“Nagulat po ako kasi pati si Erpats andoon. Nahiya po ako bigla kasi wala pa po talagang nakakakita sa aking kumanta. Tapos ngayon may album pa ako,” Daniel said in jest.
He credits his parents for raising him well.
“Kaya nakakatuwa kasi walang away-away. Kaya siguro lumaki ako na hindi nagrerebelde dahil sa pagpapalaki nila Mama at Papa.”
The “Princess and I” actor said he got his singing talent from his mom; his charm or “carino” from his dad.
“Yung pagiging marespeto, kay Mama at Papa. Sa pagkanta, si Mama. Sa pagiging ako, si Papa. Sa carino.”
Making fans happy
Daniel admits he didn’t see himself as a singer, but is enjoying singing and making fans happy.
“Natutuwa po ako kasi nakakapagpasaya ako ng mga tao. At gusto ko pang lalong maging makulit, energetic. Kasi kapag sumisigaw sila, mas nagiging komportable na ako,” Daniel said.
Thousands of fans attended and bought Daniel’s album at the launch. They helped it reach number one in sales, as announced during Daniel’s fans’ day.
Tracks included in Daniel’s Star Records album are “Hinahanap-hanap Kita,” “Pagsubok,” “Paniwalaan Mo,” “Princesa,” “Grow Old With You” and “Ako’y Iyo Ika’y Akin Lamang.”

John Prats feels hurt about 'babaero' tag
“Yung babaero, nasaktan talaga ako. Masakit talaga iyon kasi hindi naman nakaka-proud na tawagin kang ganoon. Hindi ko lang po talaga trip lang ang pakikipaghiwalay at hindi ko naman iyon hobby. Lahat may rason,” John admitted in an interview on “Bandila” on Monday, June 4.
John confirmed the break-up in the said ABS-CBN show.
He kept mum about reports linking him to Sexbomb dancer and “Banana Split” co-star Sunshine Garcia, rumored as the third party behind the break-up (she denied the speculations).
He added that he has high respect for Bianca and wants to handle the issue between them as privately as possible.
“Sana ibigay niyo lang sa amin iyong bagay na ito, na kaming maghandle lang dalawa,” John said.

GMA-7 Scores Another Nationwide TV Ratings Win this May
Based on May 1 to 31 data (May 1 to 26 data and May 27 to 31 overnight data), GMA averaged 35.1 total day household audience share points in National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM), ahead of ABS-CBN’s 30.2 points by 4.9 points and of TV5’s 14.5 points by 20.6 points.
Using an assumption of five viewers per household, GMA’s margins translate to almost 900,000 viewers over ABS-CBN and 3.7 million viewers over TV5 nationwide.
Nielsen’s comparative monthly nationwide ratings performance of the country’s three major TV channels nearly half-way into the year likewise reflects GMA as the established leading station in the airwaves.
GMA’s share point lead over ABS-CBN from January to May 31 hit almost six points, while its lead against TV5 was at 21 points.
In Total Urban Luzon, which makes up 77% of total urban television households nationwide, GMA hit 39 share points or a 13.1-point difference against ABS-CBN’s 25.9, and a 24.9-point gap against TV5’s 14.1 this May.
The gaps translate to more than 1.8 million more viewers for GMA over ABS-CBN; and 3.5 million more viewers over TV5 in the said area.
In Mega Manila, an area strategically important to advertisers as it comprises the bulk of total urban television households at 59.5%, GMA had an outright win with 40.2 share points, more than 15 points away from ABS-CBN’s 24.6, and 25.7 points higher than TV5’s 14.5 points.
The gaps translate to almost 1.8 million more viewers over ABS-CBN and 2.9 million more viewers over TV5.
Further, GMA strengthened its programming with a string of launches on primetime and daytime in the previous month.
GMA’s newest primetime offering Luna Blanca, the first multigenerational drama, outrated in Mega Manila ABS-CBN’s counterpart program Princess and I during its debut last May 21, while the early morning cooking show Cooking with the Stars has been a constant nationwide ratings winner over ABS-CBN’s Kris TV since its premiere last May 28.
Pinoy Adventures, GMA's primetime adventure-travel show every Sunday, also records continuous ratings win in the strategic areas of Urban Luzon and Mega Manila over ABS-CBN’s Sarah G. Live since its premiere airing on May 13.
On Saturday daytime, GMA’s My Chubby World is the recognized kids’ favorite over ABS-CBN’s The Penguin. GMA’s kiddie show had another season relaunch last May 12 and has consistently clobbered the competing program across all areas.
Relative to TV5, GMA program launches enjoy high rating differences across all areas and timeblocks.
GMA subscribes to the Nielsen TV Audience Measurement along with 21 companies including another major network, TV5; Faulkner Media; CBN Asia; 15 advertising agencies and three regional clients. On the other hand, ABS-CBN is the only local major TV network reportedly subscribing to Kantar Media, formerly known as TNS.
The Nielsen TV Audience Measurement has a sample size of 1,190 homes in Mega Manila versus Kantar Media's 770 homes. Nielsen also has a nationwide sample size of 2,000 homes compared to the lower sample size of 1,370 utilized by Kantar Media.
GMA finished the first quarter of 2012 with P388 million in net profits, while ABS-CBN netted only P306 million for the period, a sharp 69% drop from 2011.

Angelica Panganiban, John Lloyd Cruz may relasyon?
Isang Twitter user naman na nagngangalang @mommieangelove ang nagsabing nakita niya si John Lloyd Cruz at Angelica Panganiban na sweet sa isa’t-isa habang nasa bahay ng aktres. Pati ang dating nobyo ng aktres na si Derek Ramsay ay nabanggit pa ng Twitter user. Aniya, huwag na raw itanggi ng actor-host na walang third party sa naganap na hiwalayan nila ni Angelica dahil nakita na umano nila ang ebidensyang pagtataksil ng dalaga. Nagbigay din ng mensahe ang hindi kilalang Twitter user  kay Angelica at sinabing nakita niya itong nakikipaghalikan kay John Lloyd. Nagawa pang magreply ni Derek sa naturang tweet at sinabing trabaho lamang daw ang ginagawa ng dalawa.
Ilang buwan na ang nakakaraan simula nang maghiwalay si Angelica at Derek. Hindi nagsalita si Angelica Panganiban patungkol sa isyu. Noong May 4 ay kinumpirma ng binata sa Twitter account niya na tuluyan na nilang tinapos ang anim na taon nilang relasyon ng aktres. Nilinaw niya rin na hindi third party ang dahilan nang kanilang paghihiwalay. Kumpirmado rin ng mga oras na iyon ang pakikipaghiwalay ni John Lloyd Cruz sa kaniyang nobya. Matatandaang noong nakaraang taon ay nagkaroon na ng problema ang relasyon ni Lloydie at Shaina pero sinasabing nagkabalikan naman daw ang dalawa matapos nilang mag-usap nang maayos. Nang masangkot ang pangalan ng aktor sa dalagang si Angelica Panganiban ay ilang buwan na rin daw itong hiwalay sa kaniyang dating nobya.
Sarah Geronimo, Gerald Anderson break na?
Naging bukas na noon si Gerald Anderson patungkol sa panliligaw niya kay Sarah Geronimo. Maging ang dalaga ay naging bukas rin sa usapin na mas malalim na ang kanilang relasyon ng aktor.
Sa ngayon ay parehong single sina Sarah at Gerald na parehong abala sa kanilang mga trabaho. Tikom ang bibig ni Gerald Anderson patungkol sa tunay na estado ng relasyon nila ng singer na si Sarah Geronimo. Matatandaang gumawa ng dalawang pelikula ang dalawa na pumatok naman sa takilya. Tulad ng sinabi ni Sarah sa kaniyang interview ay nabanggit din ni Gerald na wala siyang karapatan na magdemand o magselos sa mga nauugnay na ibang tao sa dalaga.
Lalo pang lumakas ang bulungan na tila hindi na maganda ang relasyon ng dalawa nang hindi raw ito magpansinan sa premiere night ng pelikulang Born To Love You. Pumunta si Sarah Geronimo sa naturang pelikula para suportahan ang kaniyang kaibigang si Angeline Quinto. Hiwalay na dumating Gerald Anderson sa naturang event at sinabing hindi na sila nagkausap pa ng singer dahil sa dami ng tao.
Dingdong Dantes, galit sa pagpose ni Marian Rivera sa sexy magazine?
Mukha umanong nag-aalangan si Dingdong Dantes na payagan ang nobyang si Marian Rivera na mag-pose sa isang sikat na men’s magazine. Naging maingay naman  nag pag-pose ni Marian sa isang men’s magazine na Rogue at inamin ng aktres na isa na ito sa kaniyang pinaka-daring na magazine cover. Wala naman daw nababalitaan si Dingdong Dantes mula sa nobya na napagdesisyunan nitong magpose sa FHM cover. Para kay Dingdong, mas gusto niya umanong manalo si Marian sa FHM 100 Sexiest Women. Ipinagmamalaki ni Dingdong Dantes na basta si Marian Rivera ang subject ng mga magazine ay magiging maganda ang kinalabasan nito. Iginiit ng aktor na buo ang tiwala niya sa kaniyang nobya pagdating sa ganitong aspeto.Wala naman daw problema kay Dingdong kung sakaling mapagdesisyunan ni Marian Rivera na mag-pose sa FHM. Sa ngayon ay nananatili pa rin si Marian sa Top 10 ng naturang kumpetisyon. Excited na rin ang dalaga para sa tatlo pang magazine na ilalabas kung saan siya ang cover. Aminado si Marian Rivera na hindi pa siya iniimbitahan ulit ng FHM magazine para mag-pose ulit sa kanilang cover. Napapayag umano siya dito hindi dahil kay Dingdong Dantes kundi dahil sa mga tao sa likod nito. Ang kaniyang naging photographer ay si Mark Nicadao at si Pam Quiñones naman ang naging stylist niya na parehong malapit sa kaniyang mga puso.
Pinaalam naman daw ni Marian kay Dingdong na magkakaroon siya ng sexy na pictorial na magiging cover ng Rogue magazine. Ibinigay na rin daw ni Marian Rivera ang kaniyang mga litrato sa email ng nobyong si Dingdong Dantes at hindi niya pa alam kung nakita na ito ng binata. Hindi naman daw pinag-aawayan ng magkasintahan ang mga pag-pose ni Marian Rivera sa mga sexy magazine dahil naiintindihan naman ni Dingdong ang kaniyang trabaho.Hindi naman daw alam ng aktor kung mayroon siyang susunod na teleserye sa GMA-7 matapos ang kanilang proyekto ni Marian. Lilipad siyang New York para raw sa mga kababayang Pilipino sa darating na Independence Day. Si Marian Rivera naman ay pupuntang Canada para rin sa isang show doon. Masaya naman daw si Dingdong Dantes dahil patuloy pa rin silang sinusuportahan ng kanilang mga tagahanga. Ang fans club na Dongyan ay tumutulong din daw sa proyekto ng aktor sa kaniyang tinutulungang foundation.Full Story @ Tsismoso
Denise Laurel, Martin del Rosario may teleserye
Limang taon ang tanda ni Denise Laurel sa binata kung kaya isa rin ito sa mga dahilan kung bakit kakaiba ang kanilang tambalan. Inalala noon ng aktres na tinatawag pa umano siyang ‘Ate Denise’ ni Martin del Rosario sa tuwing sila ay nagkikita. Nagkakilala noon ang dalawa sa unang serye ng binata kung saan sinabihan niya pa raw ang noon ang batang si Martin na huwag nasiyang tawaging ate. Ngayong binata na si Martin del Rosario ay mas excited na si Denise Laurel para sa kanilang bubuuhing love story. Kinumpirma ni Denise na medyo kontrobersyal ang kanilang gagampanan bilang isang guro na nahulog ang loob sa isang estudyante.
Hindi na bago para sa aktres ang pagganap sa iba’t-ibang karakter sa serye ng Precious Hearts Romances. Ang pagkakaiba na ngayon ay bagong leading man na ang ipapareho kay Denise Laurel. Gusto na rin daw niyang ibalik ang kaniyang dating katawan para sa bagong proyekto kasama si Martin del Rosario. Kahit na abala si Denise sa kaniyang anak ay nagsisilbi nang work out sa kaniya ang pagdala sa anak kapag mayroon siyang inaasikasong mga lakad. Excited na magtrabaho muli si Denise Laurel dahil mayroon na siyang kasalukuyang inspirasyon at ito ay ang kaniyang anak.
Iwa Moto, Pampi Lacson may relasyon
Bukod sa mga personal na litrato ng dalawa ay nakita pa na kasama ni Iwa Moto ang pamilya ng binatang si Pampi Lacson. Kasama rin sa mga litrato ang anak ng binata sa aktres na si Jodi sa pamasyal ng magkasintahan. Sa mga nakalagay na caption sa mga litrato ay kitang-kita na tila napalapit na ang aktres na si Iwa Moto sa batang si Thirdy. Kinumpirma rin ng dalaga na matagal na silang magkakilala ni Pampi Lacson at madalas din mag-usap. Inamin ni Iwa na nang maghiwalay sila ng dati niyang nobyo na aktor na si Leandro Muñoz ay agad na raw nahulog ang kaniyang loob kay Pampi.
Ayaw namang magsalita ni Jodi patungkol sa personal niyang buhay na may kinalaman sa kaniyang dating karelasyon. Pero inamin niya sa kaniyang mga huling panayam na magkaibigan sila ng asawa na si Pampi Lacson. Hindi naman nagsasalita ang binata patungkol sa isyu. Tila wala naman itong balak itago pa ang relasyon nito kay Iwa dahil sa mga pictures na hayagan niyang pinapakita sa kaniyang Instagram account. Sa ngayon ay aminado si Iwa Moto na hindi magtatagal ay malalaman din ng tao ang kanilang relasyon ni Pampi Lacson. Iginiit niya na may mga tao lang siyang gustong protektahan sa kanilang relasyon.
Ikinuwento ni Iwa Moto na dalawang taon na ang nakakaraan nang una silang nagkakilala ni Pampi. Nagkaroon umano ng kaguluhan noon na konektado si Pampi Lacson at sa huli ay nagkalapit ng ang kanilang mga loob sa isa’t-isa. Inaabot pa nga raw sila ng tatlong oras sa telepono noon ng binata. Pinagtanggol naman dalaga ang mga isyung bumabalot kay Pampi at sa kaniyang pamilya. Hangang-hanga naman si Iwa  sa pagiging mabait at pasensyoso ng binata. Mahilig din daw kasi siya sa bata kung kaya naging malapit na rin ang dalaga sa anak ng kaniyang nobyo. Kinumpirma rin mismo ni Iwa Moto na kasalukuyan na raw inaayos ni Pampi Lacson at asawa ang kanilang annulment.
BB Gandanghari, Zoren Legaspi nagkita na
Pambihirang pagkakataon ang pag-uusap ng dalawa dahil noong una ay umiwas si Zoren Legaspi na kausapin sa isang interview si BB Gandanghari.
Aminado si Zoren na dadating ang panahon na magkukrus ang landas nila ni BB kung kaya ayaw niya pa itong mangyari sa lugar kung saan pareho silang maaalangan kung kaya pumayag na siyang makapanayam ito. Para kay BB Gandanghari, hindi niya inisip na magkakaroon sila ng pagkakataon na magkita nang personal dahil para sa kaniya ay wala raw silang rason para gawin ito. Alam na rin daw ni Carmina Villarroel ang mangyayaring panayam sa pagitan ng kaniyang nakaraang at kasalukuyang karelasyon. Bago pa magsimula ang interview ay binigyan na ni Zoren ng isang bouquet ng bulaklak si BB na ikinatuwa naman niya.
Ipinakilala naman ni Zoren Legaspi ang dating asawa ni Carmina Villarroel bilang Madame BB Gandanghari. Tinanong naman ng host kung okay lang kay BB ang pagtawag nito sa kaniya bilang Madame at iginiit nito na tawagin na lang siya sa kaniyang pangalan. Ito ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na magkikita at magkakausap ang dalawa. Ayon kay BB Gandanghari, hindi rin daw nakilala noon ni Zoren Legaspi si Rustom Padilla na dati niyang pangalan. Tinanong ni Zoren kung mayroon bang nararamdaman si BB na hinanakit sa kaniya. Nilinaw naman ni BB Gandanghari na wala siyang nararamdamang galit kay Zoren Legaspi dahil wala umano itong kinalaman sa paghihiwalay nila noon ni Carmina Villarroel.
Ang tanging nararamdaman naman daw ni BB sa kasalukuyan ay kasiyahan kung kaya gusto niya  magpasasalamat kay Zoren dahil kitang-kita niya na masaya ang dating asawang si Carmina Villarroel sa piling nito. Ang tanging gusto lamang daw niya ay mapunta sa magandang kamay si Carmina matapos ang kanilang hiwalayan noon. Tinanong din ni Zoren Legaspi kung sino ang mga taong naisip ni BB Gandanghari noong napagdesisyunan niya nang baguhin ang kaniyang dating pagkatao. Dalawang tao lang naman daw ang naisip noon ni BB at ito ay ang kaniyang ina at si Carmina Villarroel.
Ngayon ay naiintindihan na raw ni Zoren ang mga pinagdadaanan ni BB matapos nitong umamin patungkol sa kaniyang pagkatao. Paglilinaw ni BB Gandanghari na ang kaniyang sekswalidad ay isang orientation at hindi niya ito pinili. Kung isa umano itong pagpili ay pag-iisipan niya umano ito nang matagal. Ayon kay Zoren Legaspi, ginawa niya ang interview na ito para matuldukan na sa publiko ang isyu ni Carmina Villarroel sa dating asawa. Pasasalamat lang ang naibigay ng dalawa sa isa’t-isa matapos ang kanilang pag-uusap sa harap ng mga kamera.

Prometheus Features Aesthetically Working Helmets
Prometheus Features Aesthetically Working Helmets
In returning to the genre he helped define, Ridley Scott continues to push the boundaries of storytelling, both visually and thematically.
As he notes, he’s all about the “everything” – from story structure to casting, from sets and costumes to new ways of telling a story. And while the renowned filmmaker is scaring the hell out of you, he never loses sight of the big picture. “After you’ve seen Prometheus,” Scott concludes, “you will have experienced something completely unexpected.”
In parallel to the film’s post-viewing experience, the actors likewise have undergone a gratifying filming experience with the helmets developed for the film.
Scott mandated a globe-shaped helmet with no blind spots. Each helmet had nine working video screens, lighting, an oxygen supply run on two fans with battery packs within the backpack. The exterior of the helmet features a fully functioning torch and HD cameras with a transmitter and recorder.
The helmet has 9 working LED screens, all with specially designed graphics, five of them in the globe, and the others in the glass. The graphics have all been designed by the art department to look like official tech. It’s the seismic activity of the land.
Then there’s LED lighting everywhere. There’s a light in the top. There’s a skull cap, which is wired for sound so they can not only speak, they can hear direction. And most importantly, it’s completely wired up for air because Ridley said that on ALIEN, the panic that would set in after their actors had been in the helmets for more than 30 seconds was immense. Plus there’s all that condensation you get on the globe.
The backpack really functions as a huge battery loader for all the electronics. The editor, Pietro Scalia, decided he wanted to be able to see through the mounted cameras, so they’re real HD cameras, which come with big recorders and great big transmitters. But apparently the footage has been great – you can intercut, so that right in the middle of a scene you get little gems: little bits and bobs that a wide camera can’t.
Prometheus costume designer Janty Yates shares, “We’ll make about 60 of these helmets. We’ve got so many stunts. It’s a constant process of making and mending them. There are so many things that can and do go wrong with the electronics, but even with all the maintenance you have to do I think we must have saved them a fortune, because if it weren’t built into the suit they’d have had to create it in post and that would have been so much more difficult.”
“Even a little knock to the helmet could knock out the whole sequence. They’re so fragile, but they’re just beautiful things. The result of having all these lights in the suit itself is that you end up with the actors bathed in this exquisite lighting. My guys have to get together with Dariusz Wolski, the cinematographer, and figure out what was going to work and where. They strips of light look like inverted halos and they light the faces really exquisitely,” recalls Yates.
Ride with PROMETHEUS in the speed of light years when it opens June 6 in theaters all over the Philippines – from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros. Visit and like 20thCenturyFoxPh facebook page for more of Prometheus and upcoming films.

Mark Zuckerberg Sued by FB Investors, Is This the End of Zuckerberg and Facebook?
Mark Zuckerberg Sued by FB Investors, Is This the End of Zuckerberg and Facebook?
Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly being sued by his own investors claiming that he sold more than $1 billion worth of the company's shares just before prices started tumbling.
Shareholders also claimed that Zuckerberg knew the stock was overvalued and dumped his own shares to avoid continued losses.
The lawsuit, filed on June 3, in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, includes Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley.
TMZ reports:
A new lawsuit claims Mark Zuckerberg pulled a billion dollar fast one on Facebook investors.
The class action lawsuit -- filed by disgruntled Facebook shareholders -- claims the 28-year-old CEO had inside info that the stock was grossly overvalued, and he protected his own financial hide by quickly unloading a ton of Facebook stock.
This is the second time in two weeks a group of FB shareholders have joined together to accuse the mogul of withholding information.
The lawsuit claims Zuckerberg and his cronies hid the fact that there was a foundational flaw in the Facebook business model -- that there was not nearly enough advertising revenue to support a stock valued at $38 a share.
The lawsuit claims Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs -- all sounded the alarm before the IPO that Facebook was seriously overvalued, but that information was "selectively disclosed" to the largest investors.
Then again, hasn't Mark suffered enough. He's only worth around $15 billion."

Ryan on marriage with Juday
“You know, we have maintained our individuality pa rin. Ang lakad namin, kanya-kanya pa rin. Kasi, kailangan kanya-kanya pa rin kayo ng diskarte sa buhay,” he told Yahoo! Philippines OMG and other members of the press in an interview.
The “Talentadong Pinoy” host said they try to maintain their individual selves in order to keep a bit of mystery in their marriage and to change things up once in a while.
For instance, Ryan gave this example: “Maganda yung at the end of the day, itetext ko siya kung nasaan siya. ‘O, magkikita ba tayo o magkikita tao sa bahay?’ Parang mas nakakakilig yun e. Hindi rin yung nagmamadali siya na, ‘Hay naku, uuwi na ako kasi aawayin na ako ng mister ko’.”
“Mas maganda yung nagpapaalamanan kayo sa isa’t isa.”
Ryan added that a bit of jealousy can be good since it can keep him and Juday on their toes.
“Maganda yung ipapakita mo na lalabas ka ng bahay, pogi ka, para gusto niyang sundan ka. Siya rin, lalabas siya ng maganda. E di ako, ‘Teka lang sweetheart, ipagmamaneho na lang kita’,” he explained.
Another baby?
The “Eat Bulaga” co-host further said, “We’re very clingy, we’re very affectionate with each other, pero hindi kami needy. We give each other a lot of space, definitely.”
Often a subject of rumors linking him to other woman, Ryan said he and Judy Ann are secure with each other and that they don’t mind such intrigues.
“Okay nang maintriga sa magandang babae, huwag lang sa magandang lalaki,” he quipped.
Are Ryan and Judy Ann ready to give their children Yohan and Lucho a younger sibling?
“Well, hindi naman sa pinipigilan namin. Kung meron, e di thank you. Kung wala, okay lang din dahil Lucho is about a year and a half pa lang now,” Ryan said.
He added that “the most proper time na sundan si Lucho si when he’s about two and a half or three years old.”
As for doing other TV shows for the Kapatid network, Ryan said the TV5 weekend talent show “Talentadong Pinoy” and the daily noontime show “Eat Bulaga” remain his main priorities.
And of course, any additional projects should be planned properly so he’ll still be able to fulfill his fatherly duties to Yohan and Lucho.
Priorities
“Projects right now have to be planned properly. Kasi yung daily na ‘Eat Bulaga,’ hindi biro, e. Tapos may weekly na ‘Talentadong Pinoy,’ hindi rin biro,” the TV host and occasional actor explained. “Kung meron man procjets na kailangang i-plano, kailangan ko rin iplano sa school ni Lucho, sa school ni Yohan. Ayoko naman sana na nagtatrabaho nga ako, pero hindi ko naman nakikita yung mga anak ko.”
The Kapatid network has projects lined up for him, Ryan assured, but besides considering his children, he’s also careful in choosing the right show.
“Namimili lang na tama sa akin, tama sa edad ko, yung hindi naman ako aalog alog pa ginawa, saka may time pa rin sa family ko,” he said.

John Lloyd still mum on Shaina, Angelica
“Wala naman akong kailangang sagutin. I don't think may kailangan akong sagutin at this point about anything personal, wala,” John Lloyd said in an interview on “The Buzz” on Sunday, June 3.
“As far as I'm concerned lahat ng issues sa personal life ko is perfectly fine―not fine, but settled,” John Lloyd added.
John Lloyd just arrived from Austria, where he shot a teleserye with Bea Alonzo.
The issues surrounding him and Angelica no longer surprise him.
“Hindi na surprising para sa akin. Kumbaga parang expected na iyon,” John Lloyd said.
John Lloyd also refused to comment about former girlfriend, Shaina.
“I think it's just right not to talk about her anymore. Parang medyo wala sa lugar, wala sa panahon.”

Former Bb. Pilipinas denies third party destroyed marriage to senator
“Una sa lahat po gusto ko lang i-clarify na hindi po third party ang reason ng aming separation. Kasi, bago pa ho kami nagkakilala ni Congressman Golez, may problema na po kami ni Koko,” she said in an interview with GMA-7’s “Startalk” on Saturday, June 2.
“It’s unfair to him na medyo na-drag siya dito sa issue. But because it’s also political season, baka sinakyan po ng ibang politiko na gustong gumamit sa issue na ito,” she added.
While she admitted being friends and working closely with Golez, Jewel maintains it is all because they share the same advocacy.
“Number one, pareho kaming taga-Bacolod; number two, we share the same vision and programs,” she explains. “I would like to say that our friendship is good. We are doing programs together that are effective. Ang importante dito para sa’kin ay kung anong nagagwa niyong dalawa.”
Since October
While rumors about their separation have been going around for quite some time, the estranged couple admitted only last week that they have been separated since late last year.
The marriage lasted 11 years.
“I would like to confirm it also that last October nag-usap na kaming dalawa to end the relationship. Kasi, tulad ng sinasabi din niya (at) ako din, mahihirapan, masakit din para sa akin to have fought for this relationship for 12 years,” Jewel points out.
Aftermath
Jewel also clarified that she and Koko have agreed on the terms of custody of their two children. But she didn’t give details on what the arrangements are. She also said that they will be filing for annulment.
Meanwhile, Jewel admits feeling depressed more than six months after her marriage crumbled.
“Up to now I am still weeping at night. Up to now, nededepress (pa) din ako. I think we both deserve to be happy wherever we are, or whatever we’re doing,” the former beauty queen shared.
“Ang pagmamahal sa tingin ko nand’yan pa rin, kaya lang meron talagang incompatibilities. This will happen naturally. I don’t want to force (the) issue, kung makabalikan pa kami ni Koko, it could happen. Kung hindi na, maybe we are better for other people—or maybe just as a person, as I am, I can be okay,” she added.
Koko and Jewel tied the knot in 2000.

What's the real score between Angelica and John Lloyd?
A reliable source saw the two looking "very sweet together" and appeared to be "holding hands" while having dinner with their group of friends around 8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 30 at a restaurant in Rockwell, Makati.
Derek Ramsay, Angelica’s former boyfriend said in earlier reports that no third party was involved in the break-up of their six-year relationship.
Shaina Magdayao has also announced that she cut off all romantic ties with John Lloyd but refused to give the reason behind it.
It will be recalled that the Angelica-Derek and John Lloyd-Shaina relationships broke up after Angelica and John Lloyd arrived in the country from Vietnam, where they shot scenes for a Star Cinema project.

Eduard Khil Dies: Russian Trololo Singer Died of Stroke
Eduard Khil Dies: Russian Trololo Singer Died of Stroke
Eduard Khil, the man responsible for one of the more memorable, long-lasting, and recreated viral videos of all time is dead. He was 77.
But just a week after he suffered a stroke and announced in critical condition at St. Petersburg Polenov Scientific Research Institute of Neurosurgery, Khil died from “irreversible damage” caused by the stroke on Sunday night, June 3.
Before his death, doctors were reportedly planning additional surgeries on Khil, but they acknowledged the fact that he suffered irreparable brain damage as a result of the trauma.
The Russian singer became an international celebrity in 2010 after his 1976 performance of a song dubbed 'Trololo' turned into a viral hit online. The video was parodied countless times and even found itself on par with the “Rickroll” in terms of classic internet bait-and-switch tricks.
In Russia, Khil was very popular and his baritone voice won him the People’s Artist Award in 1974. In addition to his success as a singer, Khil also taught the craft at Saint Petersburg State Theatre Arts Academy. Two years ago, Khil was given the Order of Merit for the Fatherland by Russia.

Drop Dead Diva Returns on its 4th Season (Preview Video)
Drop Dead Diva is back!
The Season 4 of the hit American legal comedy-drama/fantasy television series premiered last Sunday, June 3, on Lifetime.
Last season's big finale ended with Jane (Brooke Elliott) leaving after she saw Grayson (Jackson Hurst) kissing her best friend Stacy (April Bowlby) - then Stacy telling Grayson Jane's big secret ("I'm not Deb, Jane is.").
Now the tables have turned a bit: Jane is happy with Owen (Lex Medlin) and Grayson is finally the one pursuing her. But who will she ultimately choose?
In the meantime, there's a new guardian angel keeping an eye on Jane, and Luke (Carter MacIntyre) is a little more determined to keep her in line. "He is hellbent on making sure that Jane does not tell anybody."
Elliott also dished about guest stars Patty Duke, Joan Rivers and Kim Kardashian ("she was very nice" was all she would say), whether or not Judge Paula Abdul would return ("We haven't had her back this season! Maybe next season we can grab her.") and the surprise actor that she'd love to have on the show.
Watch the interview below with Brooke Elliott giving a hit about the show this season:

Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla hindi kaibigan ang turingan?
Madalas umano ipakita ni Daniel Padilla kay Kathryn Bernardo ang simpleng pag-alaga nito sa kaniya sa pamamagitan ng mga pag-aalala sa pagkain nito o sa nararamdaman. Inamin din ng binata na seloso siya pagdating sa mga lalakeng nauugnay kay Kathryn pero iginiit na wala naman daw siyang karapatan para maramdaman ito. Pinipigan na lang daw ni Daniel Padilla kapag nararamdaman niya ito na sa tingin naman ni Kathryn Bernardo ay dahil lang sa topak kaya nagseselos ang binata.
Ikinuwento naman ni Kathryn ang ugali ni Daniel kapag tinotopak daw ito sa set. Madalas daw itong nasa standby area o kaya naman sa sasakayan lang at naghihintay ng kaniyang eksena. Kapag kinakausap din daw ang binata ay isang tanong at isang sagot lang daw ang gagawin nito. Sa ngayon ay naging mas malapit pa sa isa’t-isa sina Kathryn Bernardo at Daniel Padilla dahil sa kanilang teleserye. Ramdam din naman daw kasi ng dalaga ang espesyal na pagturing a kaniya ni Daniel.
May pag-asa naman daw talaga si Daniel Padilla kung sakaling manligaw ito sa dalaga pero siguraduhin lang daw ng binata na siya lang ang nililigawan nito. Hindi naman daw natatakot si Kathryn Padilla na mahulog ang loob sa aktor dahil nakilala na niya ito nang lubusan. Hindi naman itinanggi ng aktres na parte ng pagiging teenager ang magkaroon ng espesyal na nararamdaman sa isang tao na higit pa sa pagiging kaibigan.
