Anne's most unforgettable leading man is Jericho

Anne Curtis said that actor Jericho Rosales is her most unforgettable on-screen partner to date.

“My first ever Best Actress award was when I was teamed up with Jericho Rosales, so I have a lot to owe to him," Curtis told ABS-CBN’s “Bandila” on Friday. “I wouldn’t have been able to give my best if not with the help of my leading man."

Curtis won the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Best Actress award in 2008 for her role in the film “Baler.”
In 2011, the two got another chance to work together in the defunct ABS-CBN television series “Green Rose.”

'Annebisyosa' experience

Last January 28, Curtis finally fulfilled her dream to stage a major solo concert.

Asked how the experience was, she said, “So many things are going through my mind, like ‘Is this really happening? Am I really having a major solo concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum? Is this happening?’”

During the event itself, Curtis said everything simply felt surreal.

“When I looked, when they revealed me, I didn’t know what was happening. As in I can’t remember that night clearly. It was like a dream. Parang when I woke up the next day I was like, ‘It really happened,’” she said.

Now that her career is at its peak, Curtis said that she really has a lot of things to be thankful for.

Although she is actually enjoying her success, she stressed that she’s trying not to let fame get into her head.

She explained, “I guess for me kasi it wasn’t an easy thing. It didn’t just fall on to my lap... Kaya ko siya iniingatan.”

“I’m not letting it get into my head because at any given day or hour it can just go like that (snap), so I’m just grateful for everything,” she added.

Sam Milby: Anne made me cry

Actor Sam Milby has revealed that the last girl who made him cry was his former girlfriend, actress Anne Curtis.

Milby admitted this in a “fast talk” with “Bandila” anchor Boy Abunda on Tuesday.

The actor also revealed that he got jealous of Curtis’ current boyfriend Erwann Heussaff.

Curtis and Milby became a couple during the first quarter of 2007 but the actress broke up with him later that year to establish her “personal relationship with God.”

Both then admitted that they were exclusively dating again in 2008. Milby, however, ended their relationship in November that year.

In her past interviews, Curtis said there was no third party on both sides amid rumors linking her and Milby to other artists.

Both have remained friends since then.

Meanwhile, Milby shared what is his biggest regret in love.

"I will say there were times in the past where I wasn’t mature enough and I was not man enough to be the leader ng relationship," he said.

Anne Curtis' star at its brightest in 2011

Anne Curtis topped Star Studio magazine’s list of “most intriguing and inspiring people of 2011.”

While she may be humble enough not to brag about it, most people would definitely agree that 2011 is the year when Curtis’ star was at its brightest.

This past year, Curtis launched her own music album even though she is not a singer.

Her album “AnneBisyosa” received a gold record award 3 weeks after it was released.

Curtis was also one of the lead stars of Star Cinema’s “No Other Woman” which was a blockbuster hit.

It earned almost P220 million in ticket sales during its third week of showing.

In 2011, Curtis was also the first Filipino to be added to the roster of endorsers of an international cosmetic brand, putting her alongside popular Hollywood stars.

She also received a star at the Eastwood Walk of Fame this year.

Furthermore, she was able to conquer the stage of the Araneta Coliseum when she guested on Martin Nievera and Side A’s concert.

While Curtis considers this year overwhelming, she said she is glad that a lot of opportunities continue to come her way.

“I don’t think ‘Wow, I have all of this.’ It’s not like that at all. I have nothing more I can ask for. I’m just so happy. I’m just happy with what has come to me, and I just go on being the jolly and bubbly person that I am,” she told Star Studio.

Curtis said this is her first two-year contract with the network.

"It always makes me so happy whenever I sign a contract because it goes to show how long your working relationship will be with the company. And I have to say, this is my first two-year contract with ABS-CBN," she said.

The actress added that she will remain a Kapamilya as long as “Showtime” is on air.

"I know that there's a lot of controversies, but I'll be here for two more years. I've always said naman na basta nandiyan ang 'Showtime,' I will stay with ABS-CBN," she said.

Curtis was accompanied by her father, who came all the way from Pampanga.

"It makes me really happy to see my dad proud kasi he sees all my achievements in the 14 years of my stay in the industry," the actress said.

Anne Curtis not suprised by success of Vice Ganda's film

Anne Curtis is not surprised with the huge success of her friend Vice Ganda's film "Praybeyt Benjamin," which is now the highest grossing Filipino film of all time.

In an interview during the press launch for her newest endorsement Primadonna, Curtis noted that "Praybeyt Benjamin" is a family film while her film "No Other Woman" targets mature moviegoers.

“Actually, hindi na ako na surprise because when you think about it, 'Praybeyt Benjamin' is actually a family movie while 'No Other Woman' doesn’t really reach out to kids. It’s really for a more mature audience that’s why we were Rated 13. So, 'Praybeyt Benjamin' it’s really for the whole family. So I guess hindi siya unexpected,” Curtis said.

Curtis' film "No Other Woman" topped the box office this year, until it was unseated by "Praybeyt Benjamin."

But what is important, Curtis said, is the fact that a lot of Filipino moviegoers are embracing the sexy-drama type of film.

“I’m glad that it can happen that way and I’m also glad that the Filipino audience are now more open to movies as daring as 'No Other Woman.' It goes to show that the audience do look for films that are not only romantic-comedy or for family. There’s still that market who looks for sexy drama, which is good, which I like,” Curtis added.

With the success of her film, career and TV show, Curtis said she has nothing more to ask for.

“This is the most amazing year of my life. 2011 was a rollercoaster ride scary and yet most thrilling year of my life. So many things happening, one after the other. I don’t expect anything because if you don't expect anything so the more you appreciate blessings that come to your life,” she said.

With all the blessings, Curtis said she would rather not ask anything more this Christmas.

“Wala na akong mahihiling pa. Parang napaka-selfish ko na if I keep asking for anything else pa. No expectations but it’s nice to hope,” she said.

Anne Denies Rivalry with Vice Ganda

Anne Curtis has shrugged off the issue of competition raised between her and her "Showtime" co-host Vice Ganda.

Curtis dismissed the idea that Vice is her rival now that “Praybeyt Benjamin” has come close to replacing her film “No Other Woman” as the top-grossing local movie of all time after the comedian's movie hit the P200-million mark in its 2nd week.

“There’s no issue [between us] at all,” she told Push.com.ph.

According to Curtis, she is happy for the success of Vice's latest movie.

She added that she's proud of the outstanding accomplishment made by her good friend, whom she also considers as her "twin sister."

Instead of dwelling on the competition, Curtis opted to look at the issue in a positive way.

She explained, “I guess the positive thing about this is nabuhay ang industriyang pelikulang Pilipino. I was reading an article in [a broadsheet], how they said it’s so refreshing to see two different films of different genres making it big.”

Curtis also revealed that she will be renewing her contract with ABS-CBN.

She also said that she is set to do a television series in 2012.

Angel Locsin and Anne Curtis tarps pulled out

The Metro Manila Development Authority on Monday ordered the tarpaulins of actresses Angel Locsin and Anne Curtis pulled out for lack of permit, violating the National Building Code and for being offensive.

A MMDA press statement said the tarpaulins on Boni-EDSA showed the 2 actresses both clad in bras.

It said MMDA will tear down similar illegal billboards on EDSA-Trinoma and EDSA-Pasay.

Curtis, however, denied that she has such a billboard along Boni-Edsa.

“Hello I don't think I have any billboards along Boni-Edsa to begin with. Most specially in a bra :) I think @MMDA may be wrong :p” she tweeted.

Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos earlier asked advertisers to take down sexy billboards of the Philippine Volcanoes, the country's rugby team, along EDSA.

The billboards feature members of the team showing off their bodies as they posed in their underwear.

MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino earlier filed 8 cases against 3 billboard operators illegally maintaining billboards in Quezon City for violations of the National Building Code and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and for lack of the necessary permits.

The billboards, located along E. de los Santos Avenue, Bonifacio Avenue and Immaculate Conception (Cubao), were erected without any building permit and encroached on setback requirements prescribed in the Building Code. All eight billboards had received notices of rolldown/ removal and confiscation of the illegal advertising tarpaulins from the Local Building Official of Quezon City.

A total of 18 cases have been filed against illegal billboard operators, the first batch of 10 billboards having been filed in Makati City by the MMDA Chairman last June.

Anne Curtis Shares Her Wish for Sam Milby

Hilig talaga ni Anne Curtis ang pagkanta ng live sa “Showtime”. Very confident ang aktres sa bawat sample song numbers na kanyang ginagawa para sa madlang people. Aminado si Anne na kaya niyang makipagsabayan sa magagaling na singers sa industriya. Hindi rin daw malayo na magkaroon siya ng sariling album one of these days dahil ni-request na niya ito sa Viva. “Yes it’s true, actually ganito ang kuwento, hiningi ko,” natatawang bungad ni Anne.

“Sabi ni Boss Vic Del Rosario, sige pagbigyan natin siya. Sana, please nagmamakaawa ako na bilhin ninyo ang album ko kapag lumabas na at kapag nagka-concert ako, sana ay suportahan ninyo, free entrance ‘yun,” nakangiting pahayag ng aktres.

Katatapos lang din ng birthday celebration ni Anne last February at isang charity event ang kanyang ginawa sa Hospicio De San Jose. Maraming natulungan si Anne at hindi raw niya makakalimutan ang naging experience niya roon. “May isang lola doon, I sat beside her, kinakapa ako, sabi anak, bulag na ako ngayon pero huling kita ko sa iyo it was sa youth oriented show. Sabi niya ang ganda mo noon, siguro ang ganda mo pa rin hanggang ngayon. Tapos, kinakapa niya ako, naiyak talaga ako, kumakanta din. Alam mo it’s a heartwarming feeling na salamat sa pagdalaw mo iha. It’s a small amount to pay for an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime,” emosyonal na kuwento ni Anne.

Samantala, mayroon daw wini-wish daw si Anne para sa ex-boyfriend niyang si Sam Milby. Aminado kasi si Sam na single pa rin siya hanggang ngayon kaya gusto ni Anne na makahanap na sana ang aktor babaeng magmamahal sa kanya. “That’s all I ever wish for him because Sam is such a good person and he has a love to give as well. Siyempre all I wish for him is to find someone that will truly make him happy,” pagtatapos pa ni Anne. Masayang-masaya ngayon ang aktres sa kanilang relasyon ni Erwann Heussaff.

COMPARISON. Ano naman ang reaction niya sa pagkukumpara sa kanya kina KC Concepcion, Angel Locsin, at Bea Alonzo?

"I think kasi what triggered that, we all shot Mark Nicdao's upcoming coffeetable book called Vantage. I think that's what started the whole issue na nako-compare kami, and it comes with the industry and what we're doing. 

"Pero, for me, it's such an honor to be compared with such beautiful ladies and to be part of that league, of this generation, di ba, of these leading ladies. Ako, I'm flattered.

"Nakaka-sad lang that people try to make an issue out of it, or minsan yung mga fans nag-aaway-away. Parang me, I just wish... The four of us are okay. We all get along, sana ganoon din ang lahat. Wala nang negativity. Everyone can be positive about it. Love, love, love, di ba?" saad niya.

VALENTINE'S DAY. Ano naman plano niya nung Valentine's day?

"Of course, Showtime, as usual. Sa gabi, we'll see, we'll see what will happen. 

"I'm spending it with Erwan [Heussaff, 'Anne's boyfriend] but I'm not the one who's gonna do the planning. So, I don't have any idea what's going to happen. Surprise daw."

Ano naman ang most romantic date ever ni Anne?

"I can't choose one. Sa akin na lang yun," nakangiti niyang sabi.
