Dingdong seryosong kinausap ang tatay ni Marian sa Spain

KAPWA itinanggi nina Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes na posibleng magpakasal na silang dalawa sa more than one month trip nila sa America ngayong Mayo.

Say ni Marian sa presscon ng You To Me Are Everything, marami pa silang priorities sa buhay bago ang pagpapakasal.

Kahit daw katiting ay wala pa raw silang plano na humarap sa altar.

Minsan ay napag-uusapan nila ang kasalan pero sa ngayon ay wala talagang plano pa.

Nu’ng magpunta sila sa Spain last February, doon ay nagkausap nang “heart to heart” ni Dingdong ang ama ni Marian na si Francisco Javier.

Ayaw idetalye ni Dingdong ang pinag-usapan nila ng future father-in-law basta aniya: “Masaya ang ama kung saan maligaya ang anak. Walang anumang paghihipit kay Marian. Basta gusto ng ama na maligaya ang anak.”

Anyway, very romantic ang You To Me Are Everything dahil kinunan pa ito sa isang plantation ng strawberries sa La Trinidad, Benguet.

Hilarious and funny sina Marian at Dingdong sa movie kasi swak ang kanilang tandem sa nakakikilig na eksena nila.

Siyempre hindi mawa-wala ang sweet moments nilang dalawa sa movie. Lalo pang kikiligin ang kanilang fans kapag napapanood ang kissing scenes nila.

Palabas na ang very nakakakilig na movie sa May 5 sa inyong favorite moviehouses.

Manny Pacquiao binabarubal ng kalaban

Nakakainsulto ang mga pagbibintang na gina­gawa kay Manny Pacquiao ng kanyang mga ka­­laban sa pulitika. Ang tagal niyang inalagaan ang kan­yang pangalan at hindi lamang dito sa atin tini­tingala kundi maging sa ibang bansa rin.

Pero ano ang ginagawa ng kanyang mga kalaban? Hindi lamang niyu­yu­rakan ang kanyang dangal at maging ng lahing Pilipino rin sa pamama­gitan ng pagbibintang sa kanya ng mga kasalanan na ga­wain lamang ng masa­sa­mang tao, ng mga salarin at hindi ng isang katulad niyang naglaan ng ma­­ta­gal na panahon, nagbuwis ng kanyang buhay para marating ang kanyang kinala­lag­yan at ilagay ang Pilipinas sa mapa ng mundo sa larangan ng sports.

Kung ako ang tatanungin, it’s not worth it. Walang bagay o pera sa mundo ang maka­pag­bi­bigay sa kanya ng mas mataas na kara­ngalan na naibigay ng kanyang sport pero, sa ilang saglit lamang ay binarubal na ng pulitika.

Bakit nga ba siya tumatakbo? Gaano man pa­ngungurakot ang gawin niya, hindi pa rin papantay sa laki ng pera na ibinigay sa kanya ng boksing.

Kapangyarihan ba ang gusto niya? With the amount of money that he has, at sa taas ng popularidad niya, di ba isa siya sa makapangyarihang tao sa mundo na pinili ng isang sikat na babasahin, kulang pa ba ito sa kanya?

Manny, your fans and supporters and followers are saddened by the fact that what you’ve accomplished in the eyes of the Filipino nation ng napa­ka­ta­­gal na panahon ay sisirain lamang ng pulitika sa isang kurap lamang. Sana nakuntento ka na lamang sa pagiging isang boksingero na kampeon sa buong mundo.

Barbie Forteza nakalimutang magpasalamat sa GMA7 top execs

SOBRANG tuwa ang naramdaman ni Barbie Forteza nang manalo bilang Best New Female Star ng PMPC Star Awards for Movies, sa performance niya sa indie film na Puntod na idinirek ni Cesar Apolinario last Saturday night sa Ateneo de Manila University.

Sa kanyang acceptance speech at dahil na rin siguro sa kalituhan, nakalimutan niyang pasalamatan ang big bosses ng GMA-7 na sina Atty. Felipe Gozon, Ms. Wilma Galvante, Lilibeth Resonable at sa program manager ng hit teen soap niyang First Time, na si Rams David.

Kaya nu’ng maging presentor si Barbie ng mga su-sunod na kategoryang bibigyang ng award, nagpasalamat agad siya sa mga nabanggit na Kapuso big bosses.

Marami talaga ang huma-nga kay Barbie sa role ni-yang pipi sa Puntod. Madadala ka sa pag-arte niya. Maaawa at maiiyak ka sa sinapit ng buhay niya sa kabila ng pagsisikap ni-yang maituwid ito.

Dahil nakakaapekto sa manonood ang role niya, sita ang napiling Best New Female Star of the Year ng PMPC.

Pero nakapagtataka na hindi nakalimutan ni Barbie na pasalamatan ang ka-love team na si Joshua Dionisio na hindi pa siya in-escortan awards night dahil may sakit ito.

Nu’ng tanungin namin si Barbie sa backstage kung bakit hindi niya nakalimutan si Joshua, kasi bilin nang bilin ang ka-love team na huwag siyang kakalimutang banggitin kapag siya ang manalo.

Na-discover si Barbie ng GMA7 sa isang search para lumabas sa Stairway to Heaven para lumabas na young Rhian Ramos.

Sarah vs Regine

REGINE Velasquez had a swell time celebrating her 40th birthday in Bohol with boyfriend Ogie Alcasid and her family. She's now back taping for her kantaserye, "Diva," which is such a big hit that ABS-CBN will also have one soon, patterned after the U.S. show, "Glee," where the characters led by Sarah Geronimo will also do a lot of singing. What can Regine say about this? "Aba'y dapat lang namang gumawa rin siya ng kantaserye as she's a great singer," she says. "Ako naman, proud ako sa show namin kasi lahat ng guests namin dito, kumakanta nang live kaya mapagmamalaki mo talaga."

Regine will do advanced tapings for "Diva" as she'll leave with Ogie soon for a series of concerts in the U.S. and Canada. "We have to make sure na marami kaming episodes na nakabanko for future use," she adds.

In "Diva," Regine as Sam is reunited with brother Smith (Mark Herras) and tells him why she suddenly disappeared after her life was threatened by Lady (Rufa Mae Quinto). She tells him not tell their parents (Gloria Diaz and Boboy Garrovillo) that she's alive as their lives will also be put in danger. Meantime, George (Randy Santiago) reconciles with Lady and promises to revive her career while Debbie (Gretchen Espina) discovers that Tiffany (Glaiza de Castro) is secretly in love with Martin (TJ Trinidad.) Her friends force Sam to join a pageant which turns out to be for Miss Panakot sa Daga, for ugly girls. She wins!

Panday Kids new characters

GMA7 is doing its best to make "Panday Kids" more interesting to watch since it's being clobbered in the ratings by "Agua Bendita.” They added new characters to spice up the adventures of the kid superheroes in the show. Katrina Halili is introduced as Wenoa, an expert warrior from the mystic world who'll help the kids to reach the mysterious cave of Talim.

The other new characters are Sheena Halili as Oxana, Rob Sy as Barbaro and Miguel Tanfelix as Sintoy, followers of Andreas (Ryan Eigenmann) who aim to kill the Panday kids: Julian Trono as Hadji, Sabrina Man as Charlie and Buboy VIllar as Oliver.

They will give the show a new level of excitement. "Panday Kids" airs weeknight after "24 Oras.” We think "Agua Bendita" is rating better because it appeals to both kids and adults alike (what with the riveting love triangle between Andi Eigenmann, Matteo Guidicelli and Jason Abalos) whereas "Panday Kids" is so "pambata" and as such, caters to a more limited market even if GMA is really spending so much for its production values in terms of costumes and special effects.

Taping nina Dingdong at Marian, nagka-aberya

Hindi natuloy noong April 21 ang first taping day sana ng Endless Love: Autumn In My Heart nina Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes kahit okay na ang script dahil wala pang nahahanap na right location.

Saka naghahanap pa sila ng teenage actor, edad 16-17, na gaganap sa role ni Johnny (Dingdong).

Tsika sa amin, may nakita nang young Marian, maganda at magaling ang nakapasa sa audition, pero saka na ang pangalan at makikilala rin siya.

Sa tanong kung saan nahanap ang batang aktres, “sa tabi-tabi” ang sagot sa amin.

Gusto sana ng staff ng soap at nina Marian at Dingdong na makapag-taping muna sila bago sila umalis for the U.S. and Canada sa paggi-guest nila sa concert nina Regine Velasquez at Ogie Alcasid dahil first week of June na sila babalik at June ang scheduled airing ng Endless Love.

Samantala, tapos na ang shooting ng You to Me Are Everything at showing na ito sa May 5.

Kung si Dingdong ay nagpasilip ng puwet sa movie, si Marian nama’y may eksenang naka-two-piece, pero isa lang ang kissing scene nila at smack pa.

Kikiligin ang fans sa sabi ni Marian na “binibigay kong lahat” at “no limitations” siya ’pag si Dingdong ang ka-eksena niya dahil comfortable sila sa isa’t isa at wala na silang ilangan.

Rufa Mae Quinto magpapakasal sa Fil-Spanish na dyowa

DINATNAN namin si Rufa Mae Quinto sa taping ng Show Me Da Manny last Tuesday kaya nagkaroon kami ng pagkakataon na ma-interview ang sexy star.

Sinagot naman niya ang tsikang nagpakasal na raw siya sa isang Muslim military general.

“Wala. ’Di totoo ‘yan ‘no,” bungad ni Peachy (real name ni Rufa Mae). “May nakilala ako noong heneral, pero ‘di naman kami nagkaroon ng relas-yon.

“Isang half-Spanish-half Pinoy ang boyfriend ko ngayon. Almost a year na rin ang relasyon namin, pero wala pang kasalan na magaganap,” say pa ni Peachy.

Tsika pa niya, kababata niya ang kasalukuyang boyfriend. Thirteen years old daw siya noon nang mabighani ang kagandahan niya sa naturang Ppinoy na may dugong Espanyol.

“Actually, nayayaba-ngan nga ako sa kanya noon. Siguro nga medyo mayabang ang dating, pero ngayon ko lang napagtanto na nagkamali ako, mabait pala siya.”

Ayaw ibigay ni Rufa Mae ang pangalan ng guy dahil ’di naman daw ito showbiz at baka maudlot na naman.

Ayaw na raw niyang mangyari noon na kapag tinatanong siya kung sino ang nagpapasaya sa kanya ay kaagad niyang sinasabi, pero ang ending ay hindi nagtatagal ang kanilang pagmamahalan.

Darating din naman daw ang tamang oras at panahon na lalantad sila para ipaalam sa madlang people ang kanilang pagmamahalan at kung hindi raw sana mauudlot ay darating din sila sa harap ng altar.

Right now, ayaw patulan ni Rufa Mae ang naglalabasang negative write-ups tungkol sa kanya.

“Nasanay na ako sa mga intriga. Sa tagal ko ba naman sa showbiz, maaapektuhan pa ba ako?” natatawang pahayag ni Rufa Mae.

Sa SMDM ay gagampanan niya ang role ng lider ng mga taga-Planet Woman and the Kuto Girls na napadpad sa lugar nina Marian Rivera dahil sa pag-hahanap nila kay Darna.

Rhian Ramos tatlong beses hinalikan ni Joross

Si Rhian Ramos ang guest co-host ni Chris Tiu sa Pinoy Records at dalawang episode siya makakasama ng sikat na basketball player. Sa taping ay binibiro sina Rhian at Chris dahil bagay na bagay sila kaya naman hindi tuloy maiwasang mailang sila sa isa‘t isa.

Pero nu’ng nagsimula at nagtagal na silang magkasama, nagtatawanan at nagbibiruan na sila.

Super-sexy at ang ganda ni Rhian sa suot na mini-skirt kaya lalong tumingkad ang kaseksihan nito na hindi nakaligtas sa lahat ng nasa Studio 6, GMA Network Center.

Ayon kay Rhian, ang su-sunod niyang project sa GMA ay ang Odessa at ma-kakasama niya sina Aljur Abrenica at Carla Abellana.

Hindi lang matiyak ni Rhian kung si Aljur ang magiging partner niya pero ang siniguro niya, si Mark Reyes ang kanilang magi-ging director.

Tsika naman ni Chris, sa Saturday ay aalis siya para ipagpatuloy ang training at practice nila ng Smart Gilas Basketball Team sa abroad.

Kaya double-time sila sa pagte-taping ng Pinoy Records at Ripley`s Believe It Or Not para may maibangko silang episodes habang nasa ibang bansa si Chris.

Isa rin pala sa tatlong judge ng Pinoy Extreme Challenge ng Pinoy Records si Joross Gamboa na balitang may crush kay Rhian.

Kaya nu’ng matapos ang pag-judge ni Joross kasama sina Glaiza de Castro at Elmo Magalona, tatlong beses itong nagpabalik-balik sa kinauupuan ni Rhian at tatlong beses ding humalik sa pisngi ng dalaga para magpaalam.

Dingdong, Marian to wed?

AT the press conference for their latest potboiler, “You to Me Are Everything” under GMA Films and Regal Entertainment, Dingdong Dantes admits the movie’s title is perfect to describe his relationship with on and off-cam partner Marian Rivera.

“It’s like an equation. A + B = C. You plus me equals everything. That says it all,” he said.

The public wants to know how deep their relationship is at present.

“It is deep. It can be compared to a well. You peep unto it but cannot see the bottom part.”

The handsome heartthrob credits his lovely steady for the positive changes in him.

“Because of her, I’ve learned how to relax in my viewpoints in life. Before, I was very serious. She taught me to loosen up and pursue the things I really want without pretensions. With her cheerful dispositions, I am able to enjoy life better now.”

At this point in their relationship, many wonder if they’re already considering marriage.

“Honestly, that’s something we have to talk about in a serious manner. If we feel it’s already the right time, then why not? But as of now, we still enjoy the present set-up. I’m sure we’ll arrive at that in due time,” he avers.

Regarding their latest silver screen starrer, Dong is proud that it’s something refreshing to him and Marian.

“All our projects in the past if you will notice are dramas. This time around, we’re doing romantic comedy which I really enjoyed. We have many funny moments in the movie. The location is also breathtaking: a strawberry field in Benguet. Viewers will surely like it.”

Compared to the times when they did their maiden silver screen project “One True Love” two years ago, expectedly, there were changes when they shot “You To Me Are Everything.”

“Of course, we weren’t on yet during those times so we just minded our own business. But now, we want to ensure each other’s comfort and happiness while on the set. We truly exert effort. It’s like the level of caring we show each other now is ten times the original,” Dingdong explains.

Marian Rivera, pregnant?

And the latest buzz? Believe it or not, but Marian Rivera, according to rumors, has joined the bandwagon to motherhood.

Well, if the rumor would help boost her movie, “You To Me Are Everything” with boyfriend, Dingdong Dantes, it sounds good. But in fact, it isn't true and their movie, which is a rom-com would not in any way gain from it. For one, their fans aren't ready yet to accept that Marian is pregnant.

Both Dingdong and Marian would rather talk about the movie which has the strawberry field in La Trinidad Valley as backdrop. They love what Direk Mark Reyes has done for the movie which both GMA Films and Regal Films, which co-produced the movie to hit theaters on May 2, commend .

Other stars in the movie are Isabel Oli, Manilyn Reynes, Bobby Andrews, Jaclyn Jose, AJ Dee, Pinky Amador and Chinggoy Alonzo.

Regine Velasquez bawal kantahin ang Disney songs

Nakakuwentuhan namin sa taping ng Diva si Regine Velasquez na hindi halatang five days na sunud-sunod nagti-taping ng kantaserye dahil wala siyang taping this week dahil birthday niya sa April 22 at birthday treat sa kanya ng staff ang one week vacation.

Sa Bohol magbi-birthday si Regine kasama ang BF niyang si Ogie Alcasid, her family at family ni Ogie. Mamahaling bag ang advanced birthday gift ni Ogie kay Regine at kini-claim naman nitong birthday gift ang nalamang extended ang Diva ng one month, na marami ang nagkakagusto, mataas ang ratings at marami ang gustong mag-guest.

“I’ll be turning 40 on April 22 and I’m glad people still find me interesting, that they still buy my album and watch my movies and TV shows. Next year, 25 years na ako sa showbis at wala na akong mahihiling pa dahil lahat ng gusto ko ibinigay na sa akin.”

Happy si Regine na tinanggap ang Diva at pati mga bata, Sam ang tawag sa kanya. Kaya kahit hirap sa prosthetics at pag-iisip ng songs na babagay sa mga eksena, walang reklamo si Regine. Thankful sila ni Direk Dominic Zapata sa singers na payag gamitin ang kanilang songs, ang hindi lang nila magamit ay Disney songs dahil sobrang mahal ang rights.

Sina Mitch Valdes, Radha, Pinky Amador at Gretchen Espina ang guests ngayon sa Diva at next naka-line-up si Dra. Vicki Belo, Andrew E, April Boy Regino at baka ang Parokya ni Edgar. Happy si Regine dahil kumakanta lahat ang guest nila pati si Jason, batang may cleft palate at gumaganap na Aaron sa Diva.

Tutulungan si Jason ng staff ng Diva at ni Regine na maoperahan at si Regine pa ang nag-refer ng doctor at bukas o Wednesday, ipapa-check-up na ang bata sa Medical Plaza. Ilalapit din nila sa Wish Ko Lang si Jason para mabigyan ng scholarship.

Dumating sa taping ang Regine Velasquez Friends, grupo ng fans ni Regine na may dalang favorite food ng Songbird, binigyan siya ng party at sumabay ang staff ng Diva na very close sa kanya. “Ate” ang tawag kay Regine ng staff na siya nitong gusto.

Regine Velasquez gustong paglihihan sina Kim, Heart at Andi

Birthday ni Regine Velasquez sa April 22 at 40 years old na siya sa nasabing petsa. Isang ma­mahaling bag ang advance birthday gift sa kanya ni Ogie Alcasid, pero hindi binanggit ang brand. Birthday gift naman ng staff ng Diva ang one week vacation kay Songbird dahil hindi muna siya magti-taping sa darating na linggo.

Sa Bohol magbi-birthday si Regine with Ogie, her family and Ogie’s family. Sa taping ng Diva last Friday, binigyan siya ng birthday party ng staff ng show sa pangunguna ni direk Dominic Za­pata at ang EP na si Camille Montaño at Regine Velasquez Friends, her fans.

Birthday gift din kay Regine ang positive feed­back at mataas na ratings ng Diva at ang naba­litaang extended for one month ang kan­taserye. Tuwang-tuwa rin ito na maraming singers at artista ang gustong mag-guest sa show at nabanggit sina Dra. Vicki Belo, Andrew E, April Boy Regino at posibleng Parokya ni Edgar at baka matuloy si Richard Gutierrez.

“I’ll be turning 40 and I’m glad people still find me interesting. I’m glad people still buy my album, watch my TV shows and movies. I’m thankful na patuloy akong sinusuportahan. I can’t really ask for anything dahil lahat ng gusto kong gawin, ibinibigay sa akin.”

Dahil marami ang buntis sa showbiz, nagbiro si Regine na marami na siyang naka-line-up na pag­lilihihan ‘pag siya ang nagbuntis at binanggit niya sina Heart Evangelista, Andi Eigenmann at Kim Chiu.

Samantala, may treat ang Diva sa loyal viewers nito at simula bukas, may text promo ang show at ang makakasagot ng tama ay bibigyan ng free tickets at free cottage sa 8 Waves. Abangan din ang pagsayaw ni Regine ng buong song number sa kantaserye.

Jolina gusto nang mag-asawa

Inamin ni Jolina Magdangal na nararam­daman na niya na hindi na magtatagal at iiwan na niya ang kanyang pagkadalaga.

“Kung ako, okay lang pero kasi ngayon ko lang ito napi-feel. Dati kasi hindi. Kahit isa-isa nang nag-aasawa ‘yung mga kasabayan ko, okay lang, hindi ako nag-worry.

Rochelle Pangilinan naiyak sa ‘galit’ sa tibong reporter

Hindi galit kundi naiiyak si Rochelle Pangilinan sa isyung nagpunta siya sa opisina GMA7 Vice President for Entertainment na si Ms. Wilma Galvante para magpa-handle ng showbiz career at palitan ang manager na si Joy Cancio.

“Walang katotohanan na nagpunta ako sa opisina ni Mam Wilma. Totoo na nagpunta ako sa 7th floor ng GMA7 hindi para kausa-pin si Mam kundi para bisitahin at kausapin si Ms. Ali Nocom (production manager ng Show Me Da Manny kung saan isa siya sa cast ng sitcom),” paliwanag ni Rochelle nang makausap namin sa taping ng SMDM last Tuesday.

“Pinipilit kasi nitong (name ng reporter na tibo) na nagpunta ako sa opisina ni Mam Wilma. Eh, wala naman siya doon at hindi naman niya ako nakita. Tsika nga sa akin na madalas daw gumawa ng isyu ito na wala namang katotohanan para lang makagawa ng isyu. Sana naman huwag ganoon kung totoo nga na gawain nito ang ganoong pagsusulat,” dagdag pa ni Rochelle.

Tinanong namin si Rochelle kung galit ba siya sa tibong reporter?

“Hindi ako galit! Naii-yak lang ako dahil hindi naman totoo. Nakakahiya kay Mam Wilma (Galvante) at sa aking manager (Joy Cancio),” mabilis nitong sagot.

Dingdong Dantes sa mga naninira kay Marian: ‘Mahiya naman sila!’

Hindi siguro na-realize nina Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes na nag-profess sila ng love nila sa isa’t isa sa presscon ng You to Me Are Everything.

Sa tanong kung ano ang ibin sabihin ng title sa kanila, ang sagot ni Dingdong, parang equation ang title, you and me equals everything. Sinagot naman ito ni Marian ng “siya ang lahat para sa akin. Kulang pa ang salitang ‘everything.’”

Napa-“awww” pa ang press sa cheesy, pero from the heart na sabi ni Dingdong na nahihirapan siyang ’di makita si Marian.

Sabi nito, “It was very difficult not to see her for seven days, I can sacrifice not to see her, pero mahirap” at nag-agree si Marian.

Si Dingdong din ang sumagot sa tanong kung kailan sila magbi-break?

“Iyan ang isang bagay na ayaw kong mangyari, ang maghiwalay ng landas.”

Sa nakita ng press, hindi man sabihin, mukhang very much in love ang dalawa sa isa’t isa at kapansin-pansin din ang pagiging open ni Dingdong to show his love and care.

Inulit nito ang pagsasabing sana maglabas ng enough evidence ang nag-i-spread ng tsismis sa pagkakaroon diumano ng anak ni Marian dahil kung wala, “mahiya naman sila.”

Kay Marian din in-attribute ni Dingdong ang pagiging mas relaxed niya ngayon, pag-iiba ng pananaw niya sa buhay at maging mas totoo.

Sa May 5 na pala ang opening ng movie at hindi na sa May 4 dahil mas maraming theaters kung sa May 5 ito magbubukas.

Sa May 2 naman ang premiere night sa SM Megamall at ’katuwa ang press dahil aabangan daw ang pet pig ni Marian na si Snowy.

Dennis, special kay Jennylyn

TWO weeks extended ang Gumapang Ka Sa Lusak nina Dennis Trillo at Jennylyn Mercado, kaya aabot ito hanggang last week ng June bago palitan ng Bakit Kay Tagal ng Sandali ni Maxene Magalona.

May kinalaman kaya ang tsikang tinutoo ng dalawa ang onscreen romance nila sa pagkaka-extend ng soap nila?

Tahimik nu’ng una si Dennis sa isyu sa kanila ni Jennylyn, si Jennylyn ang nagdi-deny, may show lang daw sila kaya sila nali-link, ito’y kahit may mga sighting sa kanila at may lumabas na pictures kuha sa Hong Kong, kung saan magka-holding hands daw sila.

Pero sa bonggang trade launch ng GMA Network na ginawa sa SMX sa MOA nu’ng isang gabi, inamin na rin ni Dennis na exclusively dating sila ni Jen at katunayan, inspirasyon daw niya ang aktres.

Si Jen naman, sinabing special sa kanya ang binatang ama.

Siyanga pala, si Dennis ang love interest ni Carla Abellana sa pilot episode ng Love Bug na papalit sa Dear Friend at kukunan sa isang cruise liner sa Hong Kong from April 11-13 sa direction ni Mark Reyes.

Nagkasama na sila ni Carla sa StarStruck V, pero first time nila sa acting project.

Marian Rivera hindi na Reyna ng GMA-7

1. RUMOR: Sa pagpasok ni Claudine sa Kapuso Network ay hindi na daw si Marian Rivera ang maituturing na Reyna sa GMA-7 primetime telebabad.

FACT: Excuse lang please, si Marian Rivera naman ang maituturing ng GMA-7 primetime telebabad as “Versatile Actress Queen” coz naging sexy-dramatic siya sa Marimar, naging sexy-action star sa Darna at sa Babaeng Hinugot Sa Aking Tadyang and now as astig-comedianne sa Show Me Da Manny sa totoo lang po.

Richard Gutierrez looks forward

“So far so good” is how Richard Gutierrez describes his career the past year or so. Actually, he’s being modest, understating his achievements. Chard’s career is flying high: Top rating soaps on GMA 7, box-office hits, many endorsements and several awards.

The actor treasures most the Fr. Neri Satur trophy for environmental heroism. Chard is an advocate of keeping the country clean and green, of conserving and protecting our forests, flora and fauna, seas and rivers, and other natural resources. He hosted TV specials tackling environmental issues and problems.

Chard looks forward to spearheading an environmental concert billed Kapuso para sa Kalikasan on April 16 at the SM Mall of Asia concert grounds. It will be shown on GMA’s Sunday Night Box-Office (SBNO) on April 18. Top bands and performers will join hands in sharing music and information on relevant environmental issues of today.

The actor has started shooting In Your Eyes with Anne Curtis and Claudine Barretto for GMA and Viva. It will be shot partly in the US.

He’s preparing for the celebrity edition of Survivor, where as host he’ll rough it up with star contestants. In his soaps, TV specials, movies and commercials, Chard has proved he has what it takes to be an action star, doing risky stunts. Off-cam, Chard is just as daring. Remember how he and a friend rescued Cristine Reyes from the rampaging floods in Marikina, risking life in the process?

Late 2010, the Pinoy superhero Captain Barbell will return to GMA.

Richard Gutierrez topbilled toprating action-adventure soaps like Mulawin, Lupin, Asero, Sugo, Kamandag, Captain Barbell, Zorro. His last show was, for a change, a romantic-comedy, Full House.

Along the way, Chard faced a number of obstacles but, thank God, he survived them all. He looks with gratitude for all the blessings and looks forward with optimism.

Jay-R Will Host GMA’s New Dating Game Show ‘Take Me Out’

The prince of RnB, Jay-R, is taking the hosting job for the newest dating game show
on GMA-7 called “Take Me Out.”

“Take Me Out” is a popular dating game show from Fremantle Media which began airing in the United Kingdom last January 2 of this year. GMA Network will air its localized format this April 2010, with singer Jay-R as the host.

The game starts with a mystery guy impressing 30 single ladies through a series of videos and interviews about him. If the ladies don’t like what they see, they switch off their lights along with his chance of taking them out. At the end of the game, the guy will have to choose a date from the women who leave their lights on.

The show promises to be visually appealing and fun for everyone involved.

It’s been a while since a dating game show was aired on Philippine television. The most popular perhaps was “It’s A Date” which was hosted by Plinky Recto and aired on RPN 9 in the 90s. The last dating game show that we’ve seen was Mysmatch which was hosted by Iya Villania and Archie Alemania and aired on TV5.

“Take Me Out” is set to premiere on GMA-7 this month.
