Unofficially Yours star cinema’s romantic comedy starring Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz. This is a typical romantic comedy about friends with benefits. Well, I dunno why there’s a need to jump in the band wagon. We all know how this one would end, they will fall madly in love with each other so *yawn*. I don’t know why Director Cathy Molina saying that the people are ready for “mature” stories. It’s not like filipinos are kept in the dark about that kind of set-up in relationships.

The hunky odctor is now back in showbiz after few years in hiatus and eventually launched a perfume business. Carlo Orosa of “Stages” will be the one managing his career. I bet he missed being in front of the camera. Will he be making some indie film? Or perhaps some documentary will suit him.

Looks like James Yap is finally free from the claws of Kris Aquino. He’s finally single and ready to mingle. Well I don’t see why they considered themselves as “married” during those times since the grounds for annulment is lack of authority of the solemnizing officer. That means they were never married in the first place. It’s safe to presume that it was all for show as convenient excuse to have 24/7 “slumber” party.

Opisyal nang “annulled” ang five-year marriage nina Kris Aquino at James Yap.

Ito ang inanunsiyo ng matalik na kaibigan ni Kris na si Boy Abunda sa late-night news program na Bandila kagabi, February 2.

Pero naibalita muna ito dito sa PEP Alerts bago pa man umere ang Bandila.

Ayon kay Boy, “lack of authority of the solemnizing officer” ang naging dahilan ng pagpapawalang-bisa ng kasal nina Kris at James.

First she totally denies dating the panot err…I mean the President. Well, the president sang a different tune by admitting that they’re dating. How about it…So now Grace Lee is practically gushing over Penoy about his awesomeness. Sorry girl, I’m not buying any of the BS. In fact I find Francine Prieto more honest since she candidly said that she doesn’t like panot.

“He’s brilliant, he’s I think, if not the most intelligent man I’ve met in my life.” Ganito inilarawan ng DJ-TV host na si Grace Lee si Pangulong Noynoy Aquino nang makapanayam siya ni Nelson Canlas kagabi, Pebrero 1, sa news program na State of The Nation With Jessica Soho ng GMA News TV.

Noong Miyerkules, Pebrero 1, ay umamin si PNoy na siya at si Grace ay “seeing each other.”Ngunit tumangging magbigay ng iba pang detalye si PNoy.

What started off as a twitter banter between Grace Lee and Mo twister made the news at Philippine Star. The newspaper released an article that Grace Lee went on a date with President Panot..I mean Noynoy. Turns out the newspaper article is just a figment of imagination of the writer.

Nag-date diumano si Pangulong Noynoy Aquino III at ang Korean-Filipino GMA-7 TV host na si Grace Lee.

Ito ang sinabi ni Mo Twister, ang kasamahan ni Grace sa FM station na Magic 89.9, sa kanyang Twitter account kahapon, Enero 26: “we are talking about Grace Lee’s date last night with President Aquino. #itsmorefuninthephilippines”

Ang tweet ni Mo ay kaagad na naging usap-usapan sa iba’t ibang social networking sites.

May ilang natuwa sa balitang ito, habang ang ilan nama’y hindi.

GRACE’S REACTION. Kaugnay nito, hindi na napigilan ni Grace na magsabi ng kanyang saloobin tungkol sa lumabas na isyu.

Una na niyang kinausap ang kanyang katrabahong si Mo Twister.

Bandang alas-onse ngayong umaga, Enero 27, ay nag-post si Grace sa kanyang Twitter account ng mensaheng ito: “@djmotwister look what you did!!!!

Dagdag pang tweet ni Grace: “@djmotwister you owe me!! Wait until I visit you in NY!!!”

Gabby Concepcion got warm welcome after 13 years of absence in showbiz. It’s only a matter of time that his spawns wants their own share of spotlight. After all this time, their mothers has basically yanked out the “Concepcion” surname and got their present husbands to adopt the child.

Cloie Concepcion just signed 3 year contract with Viva along with her mother. I find it perfectly understandable if they miss the spotlight and attention. But why did Jenny conveniently wants her daughter to use the Concepcion name? Didn’t she cursed the father of her child back then and got her present husband to adopt the child. She sure did a good job demonizing the Concepcion name. Oh well good luck to them.

Head right to their fanpage and give them some love:

Well, it’s been few years already since Ellen Adarna has been creating stir yet she never revealed that her father owns chains of Queensland motels in Philippines. Apparently she decided to ride on the “hotel heiress” title commonly associated with who else but Paris Hilton. I repeat, there’s nothing glamorous about the word “motel”. If she wants to get noticed like what Paris Hilton did, release a video scandal dammit!

It seems that our very own Ellen Adarna has a lot in common with Hollywood’s Paris Hilton in that they are both riddled with intrigues, controversies and even scandals in their younger years. While the latter was tagged as the “hotel heiress,” Ellen could be called the “motel heiress!” No malice intended in this provocative title because Ellen is actually the eldest child of the owner of the chain of Queensland Motels in Cebu, Manila and Davao.

Senator Lito Lapid’s wife Marissa Lapid was thrown in the slammer for smuggling $50,000 in Las Vegas. Oh what nerve! Gambling the taxpayer’s money as the impeachment against CJ Corona is going on. I just couldn’t contain my glee at the irony. Please let her rot in jail. Anyway why not throw in Lito Lapid in the impeachment since it would save time. After all, wasn’t Corona being impeached for not declaring his assets? It’s a high time that Lito Lapid will be impeached also for not declaring his assets.

ANGELES CITY, Philippines – The wife of Sen. Lito Lapid was arrested shortly after her landing in Las Vegas last Jan. 15 in connection with the dollar smuggling charges filed against her after she was accosted at the international airport there last November.

Senator Lapid confirmed yesterday that his wife Marissa was arrested but she was released on bail. She will, however, remain in Las Vegas pending the resolution of the case involving the alleged smuggling of $50,000 in cash last November.

He said an American lawyer is now assisting Marissa.

“I have also sought the help of the Department of Foreign Affairs to find out what really happened,he said, adding that he has coordinated with the US embassy in Manila for clarification.

I wasn’t surprised at all that the much hyped indie movie “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank” failed to make it to the Oscars. I’ve seen the film and I wasn’t impressed and it hardly made an impact for me. Sure, the film had it’s moment and while it wants to convey a message, typical audience can’t relate. Only those who are into filmmaking can understand the humor. It’s more like a lampoon of indie filmmaking industry.

Frend-Filipina model Valerie Bariou is elated at being chosen as a stand-in of Rachel Weisz. While in hollywood, extras and stand-in treats this as “just another job”. Here in the Philippines, it’s a big of a deal. Unlike the extras, the stand-in’s face can never be seen. In short, they’re a crash test dummies for the lead stars. They have to do all the dangerous stunts and the tester for the scene. Well, whatever makes them happy though.

“Surreal experience Being the Stand-in of RacheL Weisz ”

Ito ang nilagay na status ng commercial model-actress na si Valerie Bariou-Bondoc sa kanyang personal Facebook account noong Linggo, January 15.

Si Rachel Weisz ang Hollywood actress na nandito ngayon sa Pilipinas para sa shooting ng Hollywood film na Bourne Legacy, na isinulat at idinidirek ni Tony Gilroy.

Kasama ni Rachel na nagsu-shooting sa Pilipinas ang co-stars niya sa pelikula na sina Jeremy Renner (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) at Edward Norton (The Incredible Hulk).

Ilang lugar sa Manila ang napiling maging location ng movie, kabilang na ang Sta. Ana, Intramuros, at Navotas Fish Port.

Kaya nang kinontak ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Valerie sa Facebook upang alamin ang mga karanasan niya bilang stand-in ni Rachel ay tipid ang kanyang mga naging kasagutan.

Ayon pa kay Valerie, “Sorry, I can’t say much about my experience yet.”

Pero inamin niyang nag-audition siya para sa naturang part.

“And yes, I auditioned. We were three at the final audition as stand-in for Rachel.
