Dito sumagot si Louise at sinabing gusto n’yang maitama sa kanyang buhay noon, kung may chance, ang pagsasaya

(Editor’s note: This column was supposed to come out last week, except that The Butcher had to give way to this online site’s coverage of the 45 th Gawad Urian.) This is the concluding part of our tribute to showbiz people who said goodbye during the second half of 2022. Hopefully, this is the last installment.                                             DANNY JAVIER He was acknowledged as the best singer among the members of the APO (short for Apolinario Mabini Hiking Society). Danny Javier was also the feistiest and most vocal in the group – the equivalent of Joey de Leon, who belongs to the rival group, Tito, Vic & Joey. The two, in fact, at one time engaged in verbal skirmishes. But that was all in the past.      Aside from singing, Danny also did a lot of television work – usually with fellow APO members Jim Paredes and Boboy Garrovillo. Their first regular TV show was Okay Lang – with Tito and Vic Sotto and, yes, Joey, although they had yet to be formally organized in

Meanwhile, Ally Gonzales, 18, may be a newbie in the music industry but her training under respected names in music— Keith Martin and Vehnee Saturno to name a few—is priceless. Budding singer Ally Gonzales is teaming up with Kapuso leading man Kelvin Miranda to spread love and good vibes through their song collaborations: “Gusto Kita” and “Ating Kabanata.” Kelvin Miranda, the newest Kapuso leading man and one of the freshest faces for Bench, has undoubtedly already made a name for himself. Kelvin’s film debut, Dead Kids (2019) is no less than a Netflix original film. He then showcased his acting prowess and flexed his heartthrob potential when he starred opposite Mikee Quintos in the 2021 GTV teleserye The Lost Recipe. He then immediately had a follow-up project a

Ang gandang panoorin ni Sean. I hope you guys will really appreciate the kind of work he did for this movie.” Isang bagong karanasan kay Dimples Romana ang maka-trabaho si Sean De Guzman. Katunayan, sobrang bumilib siya sa ipinakitang galing at range ng acting nito lalo na sa mga sequences na magka-eksena silang dalawa sa My Father, Myself. Kung titingnan daw ay mukhang  petiks lang ito pero ang totoo ay seryosong actor ito. Hirit pa niya, alerto raw si Sean kung paano ii-improve ang kanyang craft at never na malalamon ng sinumang kaeksena nito. “Kasi siya,sa totoo lang, he know

I hope it’s not true, ’di ba, because walang makakapalit sa Maalaala Mo Kaya,” saad ni Mel Tiangco sa press days before Charo Santos announced that MMK is going off air. “You know, it is a class of its own…ang Maalaala Mo Kaya. Talagang hindi biro ’yong…pag natapat ka noon sa Maalaala Mo Kaya… Ah, naku! Magdasal ka na sa lahat ng santo. ’Di mo maaano ’yan, ’di mo matatalo. Tumapat lang talaga ang Magpakailanman…Ang kapal ng mukha ko, e,” pagbibiro pa ni Mel. “It’s all professional, Darling. It’s all professional. There’s nothing personal there. This is all professional.” Ilang araw bago mag-anunsyo ang ABS-CBN na magpapaalam na sa ere ang longest-running drama anthology on Philippine TV na Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) ay naulinigan na ng entertainment press ang bali-balitang ito.  Tiyempo naman na may press conference para naman sa 20th anniversary ng katapat nitong GMA-7 show na Magpakailanman (#MP

Hindi napigilang maging emosyonal ng komedyanteng si Pooh habang sinasagot ang isang katanungan tungkol sa friendship nila ng namayapang kapwa komedyante at malapit na kaibigang si Chokoleit. Naganap ang hindi inaasahang pagluha niya during the casual media conference ng TV5 at Cignal Entertainment para sa season finale ng Kapatid sitcom na Oh My Korona , kung saan isa si Pooh sa mga gumaganap at isa rin sa bumuo ng show behind-the-scenes creative. Natanong kasi namin s’ya kung napapa-isip ba s’ya kung ano kaya ang takbo ng career at friendship nila ni Chokoleit kung sakaling nabubuhay pa ito.  Matatandaang pumanaw si Chokie (isa pa sa tawag kay Chokoleit) noong March 9, 2019 due to cardia arrest matapos ang kanyang out-of-town show sa Abra. Ayon kay Pooh, palaging nasa sa isip n’ya ang yumaong kaibigan lalo’t marami umano s’yang gustong isumbong dito. “ Lagi akong nag-aano… ang dami kong gustong isumbong kay Chokei, ’yong gusto kong pagalitan n’ya ang mga bakla…Kasi ganu’n nu’n

I guess I was always meant to record it somehow so when the ‘ask’ came in, I said yes. It was not a difficult yes to say,” sey ni Lea. Masayang-masaya si Jose Mari Chan sa ginawang collaboration nila Lea Salonga at ng Grammy Award-winning a cappella ensemble na Pentatonix sa kanyang classic Christmas song na “Christmas In Our Hearts” para sa kanilang Holidays Around the World album. “To me it

Bigay-todong sumayaw ang mag-ama sa kantang “Dynamite” ng sikat ng South Korean boy group na BTS. Isa kasing certified member ng Army (tawag sa fandom ng BTS) si Yohan kaya iyon ang napiling kanta para sa special production number nilang mag-ama. This writer had the privilege na ma-invite sa  bonggang debut party ni Johanna Lois Agoncillo o Yohan , ang panganay na anak ng mag-asawang Ryan at Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo .  Ginanap ang belated Euphoria -themed party ni Yohan noong Sabado ng gabi, November 19 (her actual birthday is November 8), sa Axon Hall ng Green Sun Hotel sa Chino Roces sa Makati City. (Ang Euphoria ay isang sikat na teen series ng HBO na sinusubaybayan ng debutante.) Bukod kina Ryan at Juday, andoon s’yempre ang dalawang nakababatang kapatid ni Yohan na sina Lu

PHOTOS: @reallysharoncuneta on Instragram Happy si Megastar Sharon Cuneta na okey na ulit sila ng mister n’yang dating senador Kiko Pangilinan after six months. Akala daw kasi n’ya ay lalala ito at mauuwi na sa hiwalayan. “Kala ko single na ako uli next year. Ayan buti bati na. [Three face with tears of joy and three red heart emojis],” saad n’ya sa isa pang IG post.  Sinong mag-aakalang nagkatampuhan pala sina Sharon Cuneta at ang mister n’yang si dating senador Kiko Pangilinan? Kay Megastar mismo nanggaling ang tsikang iyan sa sunod-sunod na Instagram posts n’ya nitong November 19 matapos um-attend ang kanilang pamilya sa 18th birthday party ni Yohan, ang panganay ng close friends n’yang sina Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo. Ayon kay Sharon, nagkaroon daw sila ng mahabang LQ o lover’s quarrel ng asawang n’yang si Kiko at game na ipinaalam n’ya ’yon sa publiko ngayong okey na uli sila.  “Bati na kami today after pagkahaba habang LQ mula pa nung nasa U.S. kami ni

PHOTOS: Donnalyn on YouTube Dream watch daw ni Donnalyn ang Chanel J12 watch. Pero nagbago raw ang isip niya nang malaman niya ang presyo ng klase ng J12 watch na gusto niya. Umaabot kasi sa mahigit P1M ang presyo nito. Naghunos-dili umano siyang bilhin ito dahil plano pa niyang regaluhan ng bahay sa Amerika ang kanyang parents.  Halo-halong emosyon ang naramdaman ng singer-actress and vlogger na si Donnalyn Bartolome sa pag-a-unboxing ng mga natanggap n’yang birthday gifts.  Last July pa ang birthday ng tinaguriang Social Media Goddess but she belatedly uploaded her unboxing vlog entry last November 17. Feeling n’ya raw kasi ay undeserving s’ya sa mga regalo na natanggap n’ya. Pero dahil deserve ng mga nagregalo na mapasalamatan sila kaya’t itinuloy na rin ni Donna ang pag-a-unboxing vlog. At gaya sa mga naging unboxing video n’ya in the past, dagsa rin ang regalong natanggap ni Donna on her birthday this year from her team, celebrity friends, fans, support

Ngayong Nobyembre ay ipinagdiriwang ng GMA-7 ang ika-20 th anniversary ng Magpakailanman o mas kilala na ngayon bilang #MPK. For 20 years, iisa lang din ang naging mukha nito, ang nag-iisang si Mel Tiangco. Sa press conference ng Magpakailanman ay napag-usapan ang journey na pinagdaanan ng programa. Kung paano rin ito naka-survive sa gitna ng pandemya at nananatiling isa sa pinaka-matatag na programa, hindi lang ng Kapuso network kundi ng bansa. Naging biruan din na si Mel lang ang nagtangkang tumapat sa Maaalaala Mo Kaya ni Charo Santos at nagong mainit ang kanilang tapatan since. “E, kasi talagang kapag natapat ka sa Maalaala Mo Kaya, ay naku, magdasal ka na sa lahat ng santo. Hindi mo maano ‘yan, hindi mo matatalo…” pagbabalik-tanaw ng #MPK host. Ang Magpakailanman lang naman talaga ang nangahas na tumapat, sabi namin. “E, makapal ang mukha ko,” natawang hirit naman niya. “But it’s all professional,” agad na pagseseryso niya. “Nothing personal. It’s all professional.”

Idinaan sa biro ni Toni Gonzaga-Soriano ang sagot sa tanong kung gagawa na ba sila ni Direk Paul Soriano ng kapatid ng panganay nilang si Seve. “Oo… after ng presscon, gagawa na kami…” nagpapatawang lahad ni Toni. Ang tinutukoy niyang press conference ay para sa anunsyo ng kanyang I Am…Toni concert  na magaganap next year. Ginanap ang press conference para dito sa Winford Manila Casino and Resort nitong Huwebes, Nobyembre 17. Pero nang tanungin namin nang seryoso pagkatapos ng presscon proper, sumagot ito ng: “Sana next year… sana.” Hindi naman daw sila ang hinahanapan ni Seve ng kapatid dahil ang kinukulit daw nito na magbigay sa kanya ng kalaro ay ang Tita Alex Gonzaga-Morada. “Hindi pa naman naghahanap [ kapatid ], nae-enjoy niya [being solo]. Inaasar niya lagi si Alex,” k’wento pa niya. Sa edad na anim na taon, ay nasa kindergarten na pala ito at grade one na sa darating na taon. Pero so far, wala daw silang nakikitang indikasyon na gusto nitong maging artista gaya

PHOTOS: @coleen on Instagram Bagama’t sa tingin ni Coleen Garcia ay kaya naman nilang i-manage ng asawa niyang si Billy Crawford ang dalawang anak, ay mas gusto raw muna nilang mag-focus kay Amari. Baka masyado raw kasing magbago ang dynamics nila kung dalawang anak agad ang aasikasuhin nila dahil mahahati ang kanilang atensyon. “I feel like if we had another child now…kaya naman, manageable naman. Pero, the way na natutukan namin s’ya ngayon iba,” lahad ng aktres. “Although we can multi-task, mas gusto ko ‘yong, you know, focus talaga,” dagdag pa niya. Kung ang aktres na si Coleen Garcia daw ang masusunod, ayaw muna niyang bigyan ng kapatid ang baby boy nila ni Billy Crawford na si Amari.  Inilahad niya iyan sa virtual media conference ng kaniyang psychological domestic thriller movie na Kaluskos kahapon, November 17. Single mom na nakikipaglaban sa custody ng kanyang anak ang papel ni Coleen sa pelikula kaya’t sa pagiging mommy niya na-focus ang tanong ng entertainment pre
