The Gimik 2010 guys shirtless in subic. As seen in these pictures, they taped an episode recently at the White Rock Subic Bay Resort and four of them went shirtless: Jaco Benin, Kenji Shirakawa, Kazuo Nawa and Albie Casiño. Too bad Lance Christopher didn't show off his bod.

Must watch Gimik 2010 after ASAP XV and before The Buzz only in ABS-CBN.

The Kanto Boys the new special host of Wowowee THEY LOOKS GOOD IN HOSTING

Hey! Im back im so busy last week and until now because its for go to school again. To all students study hard education is the key to success.

By the way others predict Cesar Montano will be a special host this next 2 weeks sabi ko nga nakakaumay naman kasi puro action star buti na lang naisipan ng network na ung mas bata. :D

Tsaka nga pala nakapanayam ng TV Patrol si Robin Padilla kahapon eto ang sabi nya:

Robin probably wants everything to be settled first. "Ayaw ko kasing
may masagasaan," he said.

As what I understand, maybe he would permanently host Wowowee only if
Willie has officially given up the show or officially not coming back.

I just wish that the next time Robin Padilla will go back in the show,
he'd be permanently hosting already. Evidently, the Wowowee staff and
hosts (lalo na si Mariel Rodriguez) love him much in the show. And
also "us", the avid viewers of the show.

Alam naman natin na si Vhong Navarro ay kabilang sa Kanto Boys but nasa Showtime siya at may Kokey at ako pa silang ginagawa with Toni kaya bumisita lang siya for a while. Kabilang rin dito si Luis Manzano at si Billy Crawford na host ng Pilipinas GoT Talent at si John Lloyd Cruz. I hope you enjoy what they are doing during the show...

Paul Jake and his GF breakup

Paul Jake Castillo has confirmed to SNN via a pre-recorded phone patch interview last night that he and longtime girlfriend Denise Jalandoni have broken up.


He did not disclose the cause of the break-up, which happened 2 to 3 weeks ago. At 'di naman kaya si Sam Pinto ang dahilan?


One month ago, Paul Jake and Sam were seen together partying in Cebu, which I first reported here before, and they were allegedly so sweet with each other. And a week after, Paul Jake broke up with his girlfriend.


Paul Jake however denied that Sam Pinto was the reason of the breakup and stressed that they're just close friends.


Whatever the reason is, it must have been so serious for them to let go of a precious relationship.


It can be recalled that Denise was very visible and supportive all throughout Paul Jake's stay inside PBB. Paul Jake even used his special 100-second encounter in PBB with Denise and not with any member from his family.

Our Filipino best fastfood chain now on Glee's episode yesterday.

Pinoy fast food brand 'Jollibee' had a short appearance in the US musical-comedy show 'GLEE'.
It was shown on Glee's Episode 19 entitled "Dream On", aired last night, May 18, 2010.

Jollibee, the store, was very recognizable at the background and shown many times while Artie Abrams (played by Kevin McHale) singing and dancing to the tune of 'Safety Dance' at the mall. Now screenshots of it are all over the net. A video on Yahoo! also shows the said episode ( video.yahoo.com/watch/7511568/19902572 ).

That goes to show how Jollibee Foods Corp. has successfully penetrated the US market, atleast by marketing their brand in a popular tv show. Originally from the Philippines, Jollibee has 26 stores/branches in the US.

I hope Jollibee mascot will be next to dance with them.

Belmonte to Arroyo: Expect good fight for speakership

Expect good fight for speakership OF THE 15TH CONGRESS


This was the message Monday of Quezon City Mayor and incoming Congressman Feliciano Belmonte Jr. for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, congresswoman-elect of Pampanga's second district.

The two veterans in Philippine politics are expected to put up a fierce fight for the House speakership in the next Congress.

"We'll give a good fight," Belmonte said in an interview over GMA News' Unang Hirit, saying the Liberal Party is eyeing alliances with other parties to beat Mrs. Arroyo, the ruling Lakas Kampi CMD's bet for the post.

While the ruling party has 107 of the 265 House seats, Belmonte – a former House Speaker said "history is on the side of the LP" and pointed out there were cases in the past when ruling party congressmen shifted alliances to "the winning side."

LP standard bearer Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III is now being touted as the President-apparent for his lead of more than 5 million votes over closest rival, former President Joseph Estrada, in the partial and unofficial tally of the May 10 elections.

Belmonte said the LP and groups outside the party want him to lead the House, prompting him to start courting the support of several government officials for his speakership bid.

"I have to be frank and say, yes," Belmonte said when asked whether he has been gathering a support base for the looming fight in Congress.

Belmonte said it was easy for him to build political support because of his previous stint representing Quezon City's fourth district for three consecutive terms.

He had also met with officials before the May 10 elections to gather support for Aquino and his running mate Sen. Manuel "Mar" Roxas II.

"Itong pagiging mayor ko ng pinakamalaking lungsod ng bansa, andito pa maraming nakatira mga government officials dito sa Quezon City so it was relatively easy for me maka-connect sa mga tao (Being the mayor of the most populous city in the country, where many government officials live, it was relatively easy for me to connect to the people)," Belmonte added.

Deputy Speaker and Occidental Mindoro Rep. Ma. Amelita Villarosa, who resigned as Lakas-Kampi-CMD chairman to give way to Mrs. Arroyo, said that while she could not guarantee Mrs. Arroyo would bag the speakership, administration congressmen wanted no one else but the outgoing President to be the House Speaker.

Mrs. Arroyo initially did not even want to become the administration party's bet for the speakership but the party choose her, Villarosa claimed.

"Ang naging consensus, President GMA ang kandidato sa pagka-Speaker (The consensus was to field Mrs. Arroyo for Speaker)," Villarosa said in the same Unang Hirit interview.

"She didn't want it and told us to look for others, because she'd rather be from the outside and seeing how it goes, but some wanted GMA or nothing because they believed that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo should be Speaker," Villarosa said.
Critics of the Arroyo administration allege Mrs. Arroyo was aiming for the speakership to lead Charter change moves in the House to amend the 1987 Constitution and change the form of government to parliamentary so she could be prime minister.

While she dismissed those allegations as "speculation," Villarosa could not guarantee Mrs. Arroyo would keep her hands off moves toward constitutional change in the 15th Congress.

"Ang alam namin focused ang presidente sa mga proyektong lalong magpapaunlad sa Pilipinas (What we know is the president is focused on projects that would advance the Philippines)," Villarosa said.

"We look up to her as our leader. Hindi natin alam kung anong mangyayari sa mga darating na araw (We do not know what will happen in the coming days)," she said. —VS, GMANews.TV

Kenneth or Ken is also a model and an aspiring actor who used to be one of Gerald's back-up dancers during mall shows.

I've heard he recently auditioned for Pinoy Big Brother.

Here Comes the bride of Star Cinema movie poster and official trailer

Here Comes The Bride' is a co-production of Star Cinema, Octo Arts Films & Quantum Films and I think it's the first time ever that Star Cinema is co-producing with (not just one but) two other film outfits.

Angelica Panganiban and Eugene Domingo lead the wacky cast, also composed of John Lapus, Tuesday Vargas and Jaime Fabregas.

I've seen the trailer and it's already funny.

Being introduced in the film is Pinoy Big Brother Double Up ex-housemate Tom Rodriguez.

Also starring are Cherry Pie Picache, Johnny Revilla, Bart Guingona, Ricky Rivero, Ricci Chan, Madeline Nicolas, Carizza 'Cai' Cortez, Ayen Munji, Neil Ryan Sese, Timothy Lambert Chan, Nico Antonio and with the special participation of Kuya Kim Atienza.

It's directed by Chris Martinez (the director of '100' and writer of 'Kimmy Dora').

Sam Pinto and Paul Jake spotted clubbing in cebu

...and they were so sweet daw.


Someone has posted on Twitter yesterday that he saw PBB ex-housemates Paul Jake Castillo and Sam Pinto so sweet at a club in Cebu. The tweet was, "I saw Paul Jake and Sam here in Cebu. Nag-clubbing sila...are they couple? Sweet nila."


Then another tweet from the same person, "Sweet acts nila talagang hinawakan ni PJ si Sam. Basta I couldn't explain kasi parang nag-hide silang dalawa."


The picture above (courtesy of geemarts/PEX/PJ thread) was allegedly taken at the said party where Paul Jake and Sam were seen together. Do they really look sweet? Or the camera failed to capture it?


It's unfair for the two if we conclude now that there is really 'something' between the two after the 'Boracay issue' where they were also seen sweet together.


But we can't blame people to make issue about them. The two just had their last taping day for 'Your song Presents: Isla' last Wednesday then Sam flew to Cebu the next day for a Honda event. Paul Jake also went back home in Cebu the same day. Isang flight lang kaya sila?


Then they were seen clubbing still in Cebu on Friday night. But the two were silent about their 'clubbing thing' on their respective Twitter accounts.


By the way, I hope ABS-CBN could give more projects to Paul Jake, who finished 2nd Big Placer on PBB and also has huge followers. After 'Isla', he doesn't have yet a follow-up project. In fact, Paul Jake had these two separate sentiments on Twitter. (March 30) "Ako lang ang housemate na wala na project after Isla...:) pero sana meron ulit." Then just yesterday (April 17) "Inde ko pa alam if meron pa ako next project...Pero sana meron... :)"


After arriving from Cebu, Sam meanwhile had a workshop last night for 'Agimat Presents: Elias Paniki' where she's gonna be paired with Jake Cuenca.

Rayver Cruz has admitted to Boy Abunda on The Buzz today that he was once confronted by Sarah Geronimo's father Delfin at the backstage of ASAP.

Rayver Cruz has admitted to Boy Abunda on The Buzz today that he was
once confronted by Sarah Geronimo's father Delfin at the backstage of
ASAP.

But Rayver stressed that they had a nice conversation and not a big
deal for him. That means, reports that Rayver was 'dinuru-duro' and
'pinagsalitaan ng masama' aren't true. Of course, even if it's true,
Rayver would just be a gentleman and simply tell everyone that it was
a nice talk.

Rayver however refused to divulge more details about the confrontation
and is hoping that his special friendship with Sarah wouldn't be
affected by what happened.

I was just disappointed that Rayver denied again that he and Sarah had
a serious relationship. I thought he's gonna confirm everything
because, why there was a sit-down interview with Boy Abunda in the
first place?

When asked about his feelings for Sarah, Rayver said that he loves
Sarah...as a friend who will remain special to him.

Jiro Shirakawa change the name to kenji shirakawa

He is known in the modeling world as Jiro Shirakawa, but this Fil-Japanese hottie who won in the Mossimo Bikini Summit '09 will be using the name Kenji Shirakawa as he joins the cast of Gimik 2010 on ABS-CBN.


I wonder why there was a change of name. Maybe Star Magic doesn't want to remember Jiro Manio out of him.


Kenji, who also appeared recently in TVC for KFC and DoubleMint, is one of the fresh faces to be launched in Gimik 2010. In the said show, Kenji will be a member of the GBOIS, a group of popular boys in the campus. So parang F4 lang?


Other GBOIS members in the show are Kazuo Nawa (also a Japinoy), Daniel Padilla and Jaco Benin.


Catch Kenji, the GBOIS and the rest of the gang on Gimik 2010 which premieres this Sunday, April 25, after ASAP XV.

Gimik 2010 the reunion

Gimik 2010 will bring back the original cast which includes Judy Ann Santos as Dianne, Diether Ocampo as Gary, G Toengi as Gina, Mylene Dizon as Melanie and Bojo Molina as Brian.


The teaser trailer didn't show other original cast like Marvin Agustin, Jolina Magdangal and Patrick Garcia, who are all now in GMA 7, but fans are still hoping to see them back in the show even for a short time.


But many are also excited to see the young, fresh and exciting new faces being introduced in Gimik 2010.


The young cast of Gimik 2010 include: Jessy Mendiola, Lance Christopher, Franco Daza, Mara Montes, Jaco Benin, Hanna Flores, Vangie Martelle, Kazuo Nawa, Janeena Chan, Albie Casiño, Daniel John Padilla, Marlan Flores, Arie Reyes, Jiro Shirakawa, Bea Candaza, Christine Patrimonio, Claudia Batzler and Fred Payawan. (Some of them are shown in the pics above)


I wasn't able to appreciate the original 'Gimik' back in 1996 'coz I was only 12 then. And now that 'Gimik' resurrects this 2010 (that's after more than 10 years) with lots of cuties, I'd make it sure that I'm not gonna miss a single episode of it.

Just last night, Charice has defended David Archuleta over the gay
issue that's haunting him recently.

The gay issue started when David was spotted at Club 57, a gay bar in
New York City. It turned out that David was invited by Charice to
watch her perform there.

David has already aired his side (See my post before this) and it's
Charice's turn to clear things up.

Also on Twitter, Charice seemingly alarmed for the unintentional
trouble she caused to David has posted this: "I just want to clear up
some things, about the Saturday night. David went to see me there
perform as a friend."

David and Charice started being friends when they both graced the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day party in 2008. Then they even had a duet for a
Christmas album last December 2009.

Charice then tweeted how she's grateful to have David as her friend:
"I am really thankful to have a great friend like David...Thank you
David for the support...But bottomline, David just showed his support
for me, and I wanna thank David for doing that."

To which David responded, "Aw haha thanks Charice! Sorry for causing
any problems, I know you didn't mean to cause any confusion."

I hope that ends the issue already.

Justin Bieber is now in tokyo but then in australia

16-year-old Canadian teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has arrived in
Tokyo, Japan today for a short appearance there.

Justin in fact has informed his more than 2 million followers on
Twitter that he's gonna check out Tokyo and buy some sneakers. "I'm in
Tokyo, Japan!!! Slept almost the entire flight. Trying to get to the
hotel and then go out and check out some sneaker stores."

Biebers fans in neighboring Asian countries have mixed reactions. Some
feel excited while others are envious and many are hoping that Bieber
will also tour other Asian countries.

One fan tweeted, "I wanna be in Japan with Justin Bieber shoppin' for
sneakers." Then another one said, "Attn Justin Bieber, no one in Japan
cares about you." And someone from Japan has tweeted, "That lil boy
Justin Bieber is here in Japan and everybody's freaking out. No lie I
didn't know who he was until I saw his video."

After Japan, Justin Bieber will fly to Sydney, Australia for a short
TV appearance on the morning show "Sunrise" of Channel 7.

Now, some Asian fans are asking, "When will Justin Bieber come to our
country?", a common question from those in Indonesia, Malaysia,
Philippines and Singapore.

I've read somewhere on the net that Justin Bieber will only stage
concerts in some Asian countries if his latest album 'My World 2.0"
will be sold out there or tons of units will be sold. I'm not sure if
it's true, but it might be true.

In fact, in the Philippines, Filipino fans have been buying the Bieber
album. On the latest album chart released by Odyssey music stores in
the Philippines, Bieber album is already the #1 top-seller. Check it
out:

1) 'My World 2.0' - Justin Bieber
2) 'Ikaw Na Nga' - Willie Revillame
3) 'The Fame Monster' - Lady Gaga
4) 'Byahe' - Noel Cabangon
5) 'KC' - Kc Concepcion
6) 'Fearless (Platinum Edition)' - Taylor Swift
7) 'I Star 15: Best of TV & Movie Themes' - Various Artists
8) 'Bugoy Drilon 2nd Album' - Bugoy Drilon
9) 'Only One' - U-Kiss
10) 'Addicted to Acoustic 2' - Princess Velasco
