Shalani Soledad thankful for Yahoo! OMG! award

Shalani Soledad emerged as the top winner in the Yahoo! OMG! Philippines Awards 2011 which was held Tuesday night at the Republiq.

The beautiful Shalani Soledad won the award Yahoo! OMG! Celebrity of the Year for 2011 and according to the award description, it's given to most-searched celebrity on Yahoo! Philippines from January to May 2011.

Shalani, who's currently Willie Revillame's co-host on "Wil Time Bigtime", deserves the award as I've seen her many times as one of the Top Celebrity Searches on Yahoo! Philippines (ph.yahoo.com) this year.

On Twitter, Shalani is so much thankful for the award she received from Yahoo! Philippines.




You can check her Twitter profile now and you can see there that Shalani is flooding it with tweets of thanks to everyone who congratulated her for the award.

She was inactive on Twitter for 2 weeks, and it's only yesterday that she logged in there again just to say thanks for the award.

Shalani was also nominated in Yahoo! OMG! Awards 2011 Favorite Female TV Host alongside Toni Gonzaga, Alodia Gosiengfiao and Pia Guanio. Winner in the said category was selected based on popular votes and unfortunately, Shalani got the least number of votes. Toni won the award.

Favorite Female TV Host Poll Results:
1. Toni Gonzaga (21,528) 56%
2. Alodia Gosiengfiao (12,398) 32%
3. Pia Guanio (3,298) 9%
4. Shalani Soledad (1,152) 3%

Even Willie Revillame also lost in the Favorite Male TV Host category and also got the lowest votes:
1. Luis Manzano (35,074) 47%
2. Mo Twister (33,930) 45%
3. Vice Ganda (2,631) 4%
4. Vic Sotto (2,150) 3%
5. Willie Revillame (382) 1%

Just last March 2011, Shalani was also recognized by another search engine, Google Philippines, when she ranked #1 on its list of 20 Most Influential Women of 2010 (also based on search queries) placing higher than Kris Aquino who ranked 2nd.

Who's That Girl? Box-Office Gross: P54.28 million in 3 weeks

Box Office Mojo finally released the box-office figure for Viva Films' "Who's That Girl?" which starred Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano.

The said Wenn Deramas film which opened in theaters last March 2 has earned P54.28 million after 3 weeks or for the period Mar. 2 to 19.

The figure is lower than the P64.28M 3-week gross receipts of Star Cinema's 'Bulong' but it's higher than the P44.26M 3rd week earnings of GMA-Regal co-production 'My Valentine Girls', which were both shown in February.

Last March 23, another Pinoy film ('Catch Me I'm Fallin') has opened in theaters, but no figure yet has been released for its opening week.

After 4 weeks, 'Bulong' now has P67.27 million gross receipts while 'My Valentine Girls' collects P44.26M in 3 weeks

Almost a month since it opened in theaters, Star Cinema's "Bulong" now has a total of P67.27 million, according to figures released by Box
Office Mojo for the week-ending February 27, 2011.

'Bulong' collected only around P3M last week, now added to its 3-week
gross of P64.28.

GMA-Regal co-produced film 'My Valentine Girls' meanwhile earned about P8 million for its 3rd week and now has an accumulated 3-week gross of P44.26M.

Both films are still showing in theaters but definitely won't be earning more than what they earned last week, especially now that a
new Tagalog film has premiered this week.

Viva Films' "Who's That Girl?" which stars Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano, opened last Wednesday, March 2, and is directed by Wenn Deramas, whose last 2 films ("Petrang Kabayo",
"Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To) both reached P100M mark.

Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano team up again in "Who's That Girl?"

Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano are teaming up again in the pre-Valentine 2011 movie "Who's That Girl?" under Viva Films.



It will be Anne and Luis' 3rd movie team up after "All About Love" and
"Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo".

"Who's That Girl?" is a romantic comedy film directed by Wenn Deramas, and also stars Eugene Domingo, John Lapus, Candy Pangilinan, Dennis Padilla, Dino Imperial, Abby Bautista, Maki Billiones and Ms. Dina
Bonnevie.

It excites me why the movie is titled as such. I still don't know what's exactly Anne's role in the movie, but Luis is a football player there, which makes it more exciting.




Now as a theme for a movie, football will definitely be IN this 2011.

Pictures above were taken while filming for the movie at the UST Football Field.

"Who's That Girl" opens in theaters on February 2, 2011.

"Petrang Kabayo" movie trailer released

After the hit comedy "Hating Kapatid" and the drama film "In Your Eyes", Viva Films shifts back to comedy as "Petrang Kabayo" hits theaters this September.

"Petrang Kabayo" is the launching movie of Vice Ganda after doing support roles in his past 3 movies.

It's a remake of the 1988 film of the same title with Roderick Paulate in the title role.


Hunky men in the film are Tom Rodriguez, who in real life loves horses, and Luis Manzano, who had a wardrobe malfunction while shooting the film. His private part went out of his boxers while filming a shower scene, but of course, we're not gonna see that in the movie. How sad! (Totoy Mola at pang-kabayo pa naman daw!)

Eugene Domingo has a special participation in "Petrang Kabayo" which also stars Sam Pinto, Candy Pangilinan, DJ Durano, John Arcilla, Makisig Morales, Ricky Rivero, Joy Vidao, Eagle Riggs and Ms. Gloria Diaz.

It's directed by Wenn V. Deramas.

'Pilipinas Got Talent' debuts on Valentine's Day 2010

As PBB Double Up stages its Big Night on February 14, which is a Valentine's Day, 'Pilipinas Got Talent' will have its premiere on that same day also on ABS-CBN.

It will be hosted by the exciting tandem of Billy Crawford and Luis Manzano. Two judges have already been announced and they are former ABS-CBN President Freddie M. Garcia and Queen of All Media Kris Aquino.

Yes, Kris is back as judge after she announced that her busy sked won't allow her to accomodate new assignment. But isyuseros didn't easily believe her reason then because she was rumored to make "tampo" when she learned before that a pictorial has been made already for the judges except for her and she thought that someone was being considered other than her.

When 'Pilipinas Got Talent' starts next month, Kris will be regularly seen in 4 Kapamilya shows. Her other shows are SNN, The Buzz and Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo, which starts on January 18.

The third 'Pilipinas Got Talent' judge, which is obviously a guy, will be revealed on Friday.

Star Magic Ball 2009: John Lloyd had Luis as his escort

Dressed in their formal attires and most elegant gowns, the talents from ABS-CBN's Star Magic gathered for the 3rd Annual Star Magic Ball last night, August 30, at the Makati Shangri-la Hotel.

Even non-Star Magic talents and non-Kapamilya stars were there to show some support to Star Magic, the biggest talent management and training center in the country.

Of course, people are very much interested to know who's with who during the ball.

Did Sam Milby attend the party with a new girl?

Definitely not this time. For the third year, Sam Milby escorted Anne Curtis to the ball to the delight of their fans. So, definitely, they're "back in each other's arms" (at least for a night).

There was this rumor before the event started that John Lloyd Cruz will have Ruffa Gutierrez as his date for the Star Magic Ball.

Well, sorry LloydFanatics, Ruffa brought his brother Raymond with her while John Lloyd was most of the time seen with leading man Luis Manzano (in promotion of course for their upcoming film "In My Life").

Last year, Luis was with Angel Locsin. (I'm still convinced that Luis' recent breakup with Angel is just a gimmick.)

How about comebacking loveteam Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa? Jericho was with himself while Kristine was with rumored boyfriend Oyo Sotto.

Here are the other couples or pairs spotted in the event:


Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson


Angelica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay


Matt Evans and Melissa Ricks


Mariel Rodriguez and Zanjoe Marudo


Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion

Truly, the Star Magic Ball 2009 was the biggest, the grandest and most extravagant "artista gathering" ever!

***

The Star Magic Ball 2009 also marks the celebration of Star Magic's 17th anniversary.

That means to say, Star Circle Batch 1 member Rico Yan would have been celebrating his 17th anniversary in showbiz this year if not for his untimely death in 2002.

John Lloyd and Luis kissing scene

Star Cinema people said they have already shot the highly anticipated kissing scene of John Lloyd Cruz and Luis Manzano in their upcoming movie "In My Life".

The kissing scene was shot at the famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York.

For now, they could not provide a kissing photo of John Lloyd and Luis 'coz that's something we should watch out for when the movie hits theaters this September.

Here's anyway two teaser photos of the said exciting scene:









So the kissing scene was done outside, and I hope they also have a bed scene in the movie. Lubusin na sana no?

John Lloyd and Luis to do a love scene in a Star Cinema project

It's indeed a dream project, especially for the gay community, to see John Lloyd Cruz and Luis Manzano playing gay roles in the upcoming Star Cinema film topbilled by the Star for all Seasons Ms. Vilma Santos.

But the anticipation is much higher as to John Lloyd and Luis' love scene in the movie since the two will be playing as lovers.

If the love scene (more love scenes, please!) will push through, it would account for a historical significance to the two cutie actors, who have not played any gay roles nor done M2M kissing scene in the past. (I hope Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual could follow through).

In an interview with Morly Alinio of abs-cbn.com, John Lloyd jokingly shared that he and Luis will rehearse first the bed scene before the regular shoot.

"Kailangang mag-rehease kami. ha! ha! ha! Ire-rehease namin ang eksenang iyon and it might na magsama muna kami ng ilang night kaya medyo hiwalay muna sila ni Angel (Locsin)," he excitingly said.

But seriously speaking, Lloydie said it's a tough task to do for the both of them.

"Seriously mahirap itong gagawin namin ni Luis. Ako sa side ko napakahirap nito dahil first time ko itong gagawin kahit anong sabi ko na sobra akong excited dito, buo ang aloob ko in doing this film and doing this kind of scenes,e, takot pa rin ako. Kinakabahan ako at nininerbiyos ako kasi lalaki sa lalaki ito. First kong gagawin. Siguro gagawin lang namin ito ni Luis nang quicky, mabilisan talaga para matapos agad kahit sabihin pa nating movie lang,e, nandun pa rin yung maiilang ka dahil alam mong lalaki ka tapos makikipag love scene ka sa kapwa mo lalaki parang weird 'di ba? pero dahil malaki ang paniniwala ko kay Inang, e, alam kong maganda ang movie na ito na maipagmamali ko."

The 'I Love Betty La Fea' actor is hoping that the character he is about to portray won't offend people from the third sex.

"Kailangan naman namin sigurong seryosohin ang bawat eksena na aming gagawin dahil trabaho ito. Portrayal kasi ito ng totoong nangyayari sa buhay. So ayaw naming maka-offend. You know it something na nangyayari talaga. Ginagawa ng mga human beings at ayaw naming makasakit ng damdamin ng aming kapwa kaya siguro nararapat lang na pagbutihin namin ang aming gagawin. Hindi ito laro kasi any love making is sacred. Mahal ko ang mga tao na kabilang sa third sex kaya ayokong maging ang attact namin ay parang biro biro lang nakakahiya sa marami nating kaibigan na homosexual," he said.
