GMA, hindi na media partner ng concert nina Pops at Martin

Hindi na pala ang GMA 7 ang media partner ng Missing You concert nina Martin Nievera at Pops Fernandez dahil hindi raw pumayag ang ABS-CBN.

Ang narinig namin, medyo na-offend ang mga taga-Dos sa magagandang pahayag ni Jomari para sa GMA 7.

Since talent ng Kapa­milya network sina Martin at Jomari, hindi na nila ito pinayagang makipag-media partner sa Kapuso network.

Naudlot tuloy ang ma­gandang promo na ini­handa ng GMA 7 para sa naturang concert.

Pops, binastos sa Cebu?

MAY report na nakarating sa amin from Cebu sa pamamagitan ng isang text message na diumano’y binastos si Pops Fernandez sa concert na ginanap sa Waterfront Hotel nu’ng Lunes ng gabi.

Si Pops ay kasama nina Kuh Ledesma at Zsa Zsa Padilla sa Divas 4 Divas concert on that particular day.

Hindi naman pumuwede si Regine Velasquez dahil may previous commitment ito.

Ayon sa kuwento, pinalakpakan daw ng mga Cebuano ang performance nina Kuh at Zsa Zsa.

Pero nu’ng turn na ni Pops, biglang quiet ang audience.

“Nu’ng tawagin ang pangalan niya, walang pumalakpak. Mangiyak-ngiyak siya (Pops). Pero kahit ganu’n ang nangyari, itinuloy pa rin niya ang performance,” kuwento ng aming source.

Kampo ni Dyan, pumalag dahil sa mga batikos

BINASAG na ng kampo ng sportscaster na si Dyan Castillejo ang pananahimik ukol sa inani nitong batikos at puna sa diumano’y “abusadong” pagtutok at pag-i-interview sa Pambasang Kamao na si Manny Pacquiao.

Narito ang mahabang depensa galing sa ABS-CBN Corporate PR: “Sunud-sunod at walang mintis ang mga binibitawang report ng senior sports correspondent ng ABS-CBN na si Dyan Castillejo.

“Kumbaga sa boksing, naka-knock-out na siya sa mga eksklusibong report  tungkol sa pambansang kamao na si Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao.

“Sa tulong ng magigiting na cameramen na sina Val Cuenca at Rene Casibang, sa ABS-CBN lumabas ang unang interview kay Pacquiao pagkatapos ng laban kay Oscar Dela Hoya at ang unang panayam at footage kay Jinkee Pacquiao pagkatapos manganak sa pang-apat na si Queen Elizabeth.

Actor Ricardo Montalban dead at 88

LOS ANGELES — Mexican actor Ricardo Montalban, best known for his role as Mr. Roarke in the 1970s-80s popular television series “Fantasy Island,” has died in Los Angeles, a city official said. He was 88.

With mellifluous voice and distinctive Spanish accent, Montalban also stood out in US television folklore as a Chrysler sponsor in the 1970s when he advertised the Cordoba’s “soft Corinthian leather” interior, much parodied by comics for years.

Montalban died at his home in Los Angeles, city councilman Eric Garcetti said. He did not provide a cause of death.

Montalban was wheelchair-bound and left with fragile health after a 1993 spinal operation, according to local press reports.

Cristine, mas mayaman na kay ate Ara

INAMIN naman ni Cristine Reyes na mas may pera siya ngayon kesa sa kanyang Ate Ara.

Pinauutang na lang daw niya ang kanyang ate Ara ng milyong piso kapag nangangailangan ito lalo’t nalugi nga ang ipinundar nitong restaurant at ngayon ay nagsara na.

Aniya, wala naman itong kaso at hindi na raw isyu dahil magkapatid naman sila.

“Kapatid ko ‘yon, si-yempre dapat lang na tulungan ko siya sa oras ng kagipitan,” pahayag ni Cristine.

Sa ngayon kahit loveless itong si Cristine ay masaya na rin siya dahil sa kanyang teleseryeng Eva Fonda ng Primetime Bida ng Kapamilya network. Mas pinagtutuu-nan daw niya ng pansin ngayon ang teyping ng nasabing serye kesa mag-hanap ng boyfriend.

Ruffa, imbyerna kina Marian at Rufa Mae?

NAGKAROON daw ng tensyon nu’ng nakaraang pictorial nina Ruffa Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto, Iza Calzado, Ma­rian Rivera, at Ogie Alcasid para sa filmfest entry ng Regal Films na Desperadas 2, huh!

Eh, sosyal-sosyalan ang konsepto ng pictorial, kaya bring ng pabulosang damit at high-heeled shoes ang lahat, lalo na si Ruffa na fashionista talaga.

Pero biglang na-frustrate daw si Ruffa nang pagsabihan siyang magtsinelas na lang dahil hindi kukunan ang mga paa nila!

Bukod doon, super-tangkad na raw kasi siya at matatabunan niya ang lahat!

Siyempre, nag-react si Ruffa, huh! Paano raw siya makakapag-emote kung nakatsinelas lang siya, samantalang nakasapatos ang lahat!

Ploning goes to hollywood

Tagumpay ang auction na in-organize ni Judy Ann Santos noong November 28, para makalikom ng pondo na gagamitin sa kampanya para makapasok ang Ploning sa Oscars. Susunod dito ang social ball sa December 3, sa Rockwell Tent na ang dinner plate ay worth P10,000 at ang menu ay ang actress mismo ang gagawa sa tulong ng Café Ysabel.

Sa December 8, lilipad na tungong Los Angeles si Judy Ann para tumulong sa great campaign of her career and life. Pero bago umalis, gagawa muna siya ng TV special para sa Ploning produced by ABS-CBN. Tila Ploning Goes to Hollywood ang working title nito bilang tulong pa rin sa pelikula na makasama sa Best Foreign Film entries sa Oscars.
