Cristine Reyes and Derek Ramsay Now a Couple

After years of "going out as friends," Cristine Reyes and Derek Ramsay became a couple on August 28.

The 36-year-old actor confirmed the news, as quoted in a report published Thursday on the entertainment news site Yahoo! OMG. Ramsay said he and Reyes agreed to admit the relationship if asked.

On the micro-blogging site Twitter, Ramsay readily addressed a comment from a follower, noting that he earlier said he would no longer date a showbiz personality after his controversial break-up with actress Angelica Panganiban.

"I did say that I'll never date someone from showbiz and that I'd never date Cristine [because] she is a friend. I eat my words," he said.

Julie Anne San Jose, ano kaya ang regalo sa 18th birthday ng ka-love team na si Elmo Magalona?

Nahihirapan daw mag-isip ang Kapuso Tween star na si Julie Anne San Jose sa kung ano ang ireregalo sa 18th birthday ng kanyang ka-love team na si Elmo Magalona.

Sa gitna ng kulitan ng dalawa, pabirong sinabi ni Elmo sa ulat ni Audrey Carampel sa Balitanghali nitong Miyerkules, na kotse ang gusto niyang matanggap na regalo dahil nasa tamang edad na siya.

Dahil dito, pabiro din ang naging sagot ni Julie Anne sa aktor na dapat regaluhan din siya ni Elmo ng bahay sa kanyang kaarawan.

Labis ang pasasalamat ng binatang anak ng namayapang si Francis Magalona dahil sa sunod-sunod na biyaya na kanyang natatanggap.

At ngayon na nasa legal age na siya, sinabi ni Elmo na mas focus na siya sa kanyang trabaho at halos wala na raw siyang mahihiling pa.

Bagamat busy sa kanyang taping para sa pelikulang Just One Summer kasama si Julie Anne, isang simpleng family dinner ang ginanap para sa selebrasyon ng kanyang kaarawan kamakailan.

Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes, nagsalita tungkol sa intrigang buntis ang aktres

Nagbigay ng pahayag ang magkasintahang Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes tungkol sa napabalitang nagdadalang-tao umano ang Kapuso primetime queen.

Nitong Huwebes ng umaga ay mag-isang lumipad patungong Malaysia si Dingdong para i-promote ang dating soap nila ni Marian na Endless Love na ipinapalabas doon ngayon.

Hindi nakasama si Marian sa Malaysia dahil sa nakatakdang press launch ng kanyang sitcom na Tweets For My Sweet. Dito ay makakasama niya sina Barbie Forteza, Elmo Magalona, Nova Villa, Roderick Paulete, Sheena Halili at Chef Boy Logro.

Wala umanong kinalaman ang tsismis na buntis siya kaya hindi siya nakasama ni Dingdong sa Malaysia. Ipinakita pa nga ng aktres ang magandang hubog ng kanyang katawan para patunayan na hindi siya buntis.

“Hindi totoo, ano ba… sa’n nanggaling yun? (tsismis)," natatawang tanong ni Marian.

“Sabi ko, siya na (Dingdong) bahala sa akin sa mga taga-Malaysia. Siya na magsabi kung bakit wala ako dun ngayon," dagdag ng aktres.

Nagsimula ang tsismis na buntis si Marian nang mayroon umanong mag-congratulate kay Dingdong, sabay tanong kung ilang buwan na.

Pero sabi ng Kapuso leading man: “Siguro may ilang tao na nagkakaroon ng ibang interpretasyon na nanggaling sa hangin. Pero sa amin ang importante focus kami sa trabaho namin."

Bagaman naghihinayang na hindi niya kasama ang nobya sa Malaysia, sinabi ni Dingdong na i-enjoy na lamang niya ang biyahe kasama ang kanilang mga tagahanga doon.

Roxanne Guinoo, certified Kapuso na

Kapuso na ang nagbabalik showbiz na si Roxanne Guinoo na ilang taong nawala sa sirkulasyon matapos mabuntis at magpakasal sa kanyang non-showbiz boyfriend.

Sa story conference ng bagong family-drama serye sa GMA 7, pormal na ipinakilala si Roxanne sa kanyang mga makakasama sa Daddy Dearest, na kinabibilangan ni Ogie Alcasid.

Sa panayam ni showbiz reporter Nelson Canlas, sinabi ni Roxanne na excited siya sa kanyang bagong tahanan at mga bagong makakatrabaho.

“Masayang masaya, ibang grupo, ibang klaseng work. I think light comedy po yata ‘to (Daddy Dearest). Dito sa GMA first time kong makakatrabaho ang yung mga Kapuso stars po, so exciting," pahayag ng magandang aktres sa Chika Minute ng GMA new 24 Oras nitong Miyerkules.

Taong 2010 nang mapabalitang nagdadalang-tao si Roxanne. Sa sumunod na taon naman ay ikinasal na sila ng kanyang Filipino-Chinese boyfriend.

Nagpapasalamat si Roxanne sa kanyang mister dahil very supportive ito sa kanyang career. At ngayong malaki na ang kanilang baby, nagdesisyon na siyang magbalik sa showbiz.

Pero paliwanag ng aktres, magiging mapili siya sa proyekto dahil nais niyang ikatutuwa ito ng kanyang baby at family.

Sinabi ni Roxanne na magkakaroon din siya ng kaunting limitasyon sa mga proyekto. Hindi na umano aakma sa kanya ang sobrang pagpapasexy o daring role.

Pauleen Luna: 'My heart is in a happy place'

Naging makahulugan ang tugon ng Kapuso star na si Pauleen Luna nang matanong tungkol sa kung ano ang tunay na namamagitan sa kanila ng kanyang kapwa Eat Bulaga! host na si “Bossing" Vic Sotto.

Hanggang ngayon, tikom pa rin ang bibig nina Pauleen at Vic na magsalita tungkol sa kanilang relasyon mula nang umugong ang mga balitang nagkakaroon sila ng romantikong ugnayan.

Sa story conference na dinaluhan ni showbiz reporter Nelson Canlas sa bagong family series ng GMA 7 na Daddy Dearest kung saan bahagi si Pauleen, muling nausisa ang pretty at sexy Kapuso star tungkol sa relasyon niya kay Vic.

“Even before all the tsismis and when I’m was starting Bulaga we have a good relationship," paliwanag ni Pauleen sa Chika Minute ng GMA News 24 Oras nitong Martes.

Inihayag pa ni Pauleen na masaya siya ngayon sabay dagdag na: “My heart is in a happy place."

Nang matanong tungkol sa isyu na tila hindi boto sa kanya ang mga anak ni Vic, sinabi ni Pauleen na iginagalang niya ang opinyon ng lahat.

Ang mahalaga umano ay alam niyang wala siyang ginagawang masama at wala siyang naaapakan at nasasaktan na ibang tao.

Mas gusto raw ng aktres na pagtuunan ang kanyang pagbabalik sa pag-arte sa pamamagitan ng Daddy Dearest kung saan makakasama niya si Ogie Alcasid.

Mixed reviews for Sanchez; may be in trouble

Filipino-Mexican-American contestant Jessica Sanchez had a mixed night on "American Idol" on Wednesday night (Thursday morning in Manila), and the show's keen followers believe the singer may be in a precarious position.

"Jessica could be in trouble this week," MJ's Big Blog said on Entertainment Weekly's live blog.


For this week, the contestants were asked to perform two songs -- one from the 1960s and a British song.

For the first round, Sanchez took on, what judge Randy Jackson called, “the biggest dragon of the night” as she sang Ike and Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary.”

Although Jackson said the 16-year-old pulled it off, he called Sanchez’s performance “barely okay.”

"You took on probably the biggest dragon of the night... It didn't really quite sit with me," he said.

Judge Jennifer Lopez disagreed, saying Sanchez looked so grown-up when she got on stage tonight that she forgot she is only 16 years old.

Lopez also said she just saw Sanchez’s true style by showing “a little bit of Tina, a little bit of Beyonce” in the performance.

As for judge Steven Tyler, he said Sanchez did her magic again by building the song up when she started it slow and stepped it up by stretching out her vocals making her over all performance sound great.

"The only thing that gives experience a run for its money is a 16-year-old. I'm hearing the blues come out of you," said Tyler.

While Jackson did not give Sanchez high praises during the first round, Jackson said the Filipino-Mexican singer definitely made a comeback in round two with her performance of Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful."

"This girl's in the top of the leaderboard right now," Jackson said.

"You, once again, showed America just how beautiful your voice is. You're going to be No. 1, girl," Tyler added.

Lopez noted how Sanchez captivated the audience once again just like when she sang “I Will Always Love You.”

"How could we have let this girl go home?" said Lopez, as if reminding the audience to continue their support for Sanchez, who had to be saved by the judges from elimination.

Weak song choices

While "Idol" followers praised Sanchez's vocal abilities, they disagreed with her song choices -- especially since she selected two old songs.

"Her vocals, as always, are terrific. ...I would have picked a current song. She’s young and should be doing young songs," said blogger Rickey of rickey.org.

During the British round, only Hollie Cavanagh chose a more current song -- "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis -- and was praised by the judges, noting that Cavanagh seemed to be peaking at the right time.

Last week, Cavanagh received her first standing ovation for her version of Miley Cyrus's "The Climb."

Once again, the judges gave the only standing ovation on Wednesday to favorite contestant Joshua Ledet for his version of "To Love Somebody" by the Bee Gees.

As of posting, Dial Idol placed Sanchez at No. 4, with Skylar Laine at No. 1.

Americans and Filipinos in the United States can vote for Jessica Sanchez by dialing 1-866-436-5704 or 1-866-436-5709 or text "VOTE" to 5704 or 5709 or go to americanidol.com voting page or American Idol's Facebook page.

Skylar, not Jessica, is mag’s new pick to win ‘Idol’

Is Jessica Sanchez losing momentum?

Going into Wednesday’s performance night (Thursday morning in Manila) of the TV talent search “American Idol,” the popular magazine Entertainment Weekly again ranked the Filipino-Mexican-American contestant at No. 4 on its Power List.

Sanchez was also at No. 4 last week – her lowest since the magazine began ranking this season's contestants of the hit US TV show.

“This should be a strong week for Jessica performance-wise (heck, they all are) but she’s become a polarizing contestant,” the magazine said.

“Some think she’s perfect; others think she’s a robot; many suspect she’s both. I almost think she’ll be better off if the judges give her a hard time tonight,” it added.

With last week’s elimination of Elise Testone, several “Idol” bloggers, including MJ’s Big Blog and Rickey.org, have shifted their bets to country singer Skylar Laine.

Even Entertainment Weekly have joined the bandwagon, putting Laine on top of its “Idol” rankings.

“I just have a weird feeling that unless she picks strict country songs that might alienate crossover fans, Skylar is poised to win this thing,” the magazine said, adding that teenage girls, which make up a significant voting bloc, find her the “most exciting.”

“She’s not a living doll, she has so much unbridled fun on stage, and she can wail when necessary,” it added, an obvious reference to Sanchez.

The magazine is now predicting the finale to be between Laine and rocker Phillip Phillips.

“He’s a white guy with a guitar who just wants to jam with you. Millions of voters are dying to let him,” the magazine said.

Once again, Entertainment Weekly placed Hollie Cavanagh at the bottom of its list.

“She’s been in the bottom two recently, even after two solid weeks of more confident, emotional performances. I can see it in the script: The judges will put a (sparkly) pin in their brief love affair with Hollie in the interest of advancing the others,” the magazine said.

Derek, Angelica relationship on the rocks?

Is it the end for celebrity couples Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban and John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao?

That’s what entertainment editor Ricky Lo was implying in his column at the Philippine Star titled “Headed for splitsville?” which was published on Wednesday.

“When John Lloyd and Angelica came home from Vietnam after shooting some scenes for their new ABS-CBN teleserye, which has no title yet, things didn’t seem the same between them and their respective partners. A rift has suddenly happened between the two pairs and, if not repaired in time, might lead them to splitsville,” Lo wrote.

“Could it be true that while in Vietnam, John Lloyd and Angelica discovered (better late than never!) that they have something in common, that they like the same thing. Did they receive a message in a bottle?” Lo added.

News about the supposed “cool-off” between Ramsay and Panganiban spread on Twitter on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Ramsay sent an intriguing tweet to his girlfriend. “Be strong (Angelica). We all know who you are and that there is no truth to what's being said. I'm here for you if ever you need anything.”

Then on Wednesday he confirmed with an entertainment reporter that he and Panganiban are “working things out” and expressed optimism that the kinks in their relationship will eventually be ironed out.

He also denied that there is something going on between Pangilinan and Cruz.

“Look please don’t make up things OK. Angel is a decent woman,” he told a follower on Twitter.

When the follower asked about a video reportedly of Panganiban and Cruz kissing, Ramsay said this was only a scene from the movie that was shot in Vietnam.

“They had scenes like that. Work is work,” he said.

Panganiban has so far not mentioned anything about the issue on Twitter, although she did post an intriguing comment on Monday: “God will not allow a trial to come into your life unless He has a purpose. He doesn't send the storms, but He uses them.”

John Lloyd, Bea talk about upcoming movie

Bankable love team John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo are set to conquer the silver screen once again two years after their last movie together.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, Cruz said he is looking forward to shooting his reunion movie with Alonzo because both of them have already grown up as actors.

“Sobrang excited ako kung paano magiging batuhan namin ni Bea sa mga eksena kasi iba na si Bea ngayon, iba na rin ako,” said Cruz.

Alonzo, on the other hand, seems surprised that she and Cruz have been an on-screen couple for 10 years already.

“Ten years na pala kami no? I'm so excited [and] at the same time challenged. With John Lloyd, you always need to be on your toes,” she said.

Alonzo added, “It’s always refreshing to work with John Lloyd.”

Meanwhile, both stars hinted on what their new film will be like.

“Kumbaga, ibang-iba ang mga characters namin dito, malalim at medyo sensitive. Masasabi ng ibang tao, kontrobersyal ito,” said Cruz.

“Tinatalakay nito ang infidelity kaya talagang pag-uusapan ito ng mga tao,” Alonzo added.

The movie, titled "The Mistress," will be under the direction of Olivia M. Lamasan.

Aside from their upcoming movie, Cruz and Alonzo are also excited to share to their fans their upcoming television series.

“Nasa planning stage na kami, then in a few weeks, pupunta kami ng Vienna, Austria para i-shoot ‘yung pilot week namin,” said Alonzo.

The two celebrities will also be part of a star-studded movie in celebration of Star Magic’s 20th anniversary.

Kim Jones opens up on boyfriend Echo

Months since their first public appearance as a couple, Australian television host Kim Jones opened up on her relationship with actor Jericho Rosales.

It was only in February when Rosales confirmed he was in a relationship with Jones, but the lifestyle show host said they had become an official couple as early as October last year.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Jones recounted how they first met through a mutual friend, revealing that it wasn’t necessarily love at first sight.

“We met in March of last year. We have a mutual friend, and she mentioned to us that we should meet. I didn’t know who he was at the time.

"We met, it was just a nice dinner [with friends]. I don’t know if he had trouble understanding my accent, but we didn’t see each other [until] two months after,” she said.

Jones shared that Rosales eventually won him over through their shared passion for sports and his sense of humor.

“I love sports, so he taught me how to surf, and now I’ve fallen in love with surfing. So we spend a lot of time at the beach. I’m an Aussie, so it’s always relaxing for me [to be] at the beach.”

“He has a very big heart, a very giving heart. He’s hilarious, he never fails to make me laugh. Super mabait siya,” she added.

Showbiz world

At the time, Jones said she didn't know Rosales was a television and film actor, but added that she has managed to adjust well to his popularity because of his fans’ support for their relationship.

“I didn’t know at the time [that he was a popular actor]. When people started asking him for photos, I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ I like that his fans have been very supportive, they’re always showing a lot of love, a lot of support, so that helps of course, so I have them to thank,” she said.

As she slowly wins over fans of her own, is Jones ready to go showbiz full-time?

“It’s been a popular question, but for now I want to master my craft – hosting, things like that. I’m studying Tagalog, but if any opportunity arises down the track, I would be open for it,” she said.

Currently, Jones is preparing for a special participation in the upcoming concert of Gary Valenciano, “On Higher Ground.”

“It’s a surprise, it’s just one song, [but no] I’m not singing in the concert. I don’t want to say too much, but it’s been fun being a part of, so happy I got to be a part of it. You just have to watch it!”

Sitti happy to perform for Sergio Mendes, PNoy

Bossa nova singer Sitti Navarro recounted the thrill of performing as the front act for the concert of Brazilian jazz legend Sergio Mendes.

Navarro’s stage nerves left her oblivious to the presence of another notable personality at the venue.

The concert, which was held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Tuesday, was attended by President Benigno Aquino III. Aquino was with his sisters, a number of his Cabinet members, and his rumored girlfriend, television and radio personality Grace Lee.

“I wasn’t aware that the president was here. I didn’t know. Ang alam ko lang nanginginig ako the whole time I was singing because I was fronting for Sir Sergio Mendes,” Navarro told ABS-CBN News moments after the show.

Nevertheless, Navarro said she is happy to have performed for both Mendes and Aquino and hoped that they liked her performance.

“I didn’t know. But wow, sana nagustuhan nila,” she said.

During the concert’s front act, Navarro sung a bossa nova rendition of “Limang Dipang Tao,” among others.

Her latest album is “Sitti (Sessions),” which was released last year.

Eviction looms for 4 teens on 'PBB'

Four teen housemates are at the viewing public's mercy as they face possible eviction – the first in this edition – from the Big Brother house.

Two weeks since opening his doors for "Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 4," Kuya is set to evict one among Claire, Kit, Mariz and Vince on Saturday following the edition's first nomination night.

Claire, who hails from Makati, was nominated by her housemates for supposedly being over-emotional and attention-seeking.

Another female housemate, Mariz, was nominated because of being distant from her fellow housemates.

Vince, who allegedly doesn’t help with household chores, is also facing possible eviction, as well as Kit, who received the most number of votes, for being insensitive and offensive with his words towards his housemates.

With the first eviction night looming, the four teen housemates will pack their belongings to prepare for a possible exit on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, fans of Claire, Kit, Mariz and Vince can continue voting for them through SMS or online voting.

“Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 4” airs weekdays after “Dahil sa Pag-Ibig” on ABS-CBN’s primetime block.
