Ethel after Megan’s head?

IN the first PBB Celebrity 2 eviction night last Saturday, Megan Young was saved by text voters with a very high 87.89%. Ethel Booba as head of household nominated her automatically for the second time and Megan’s supporters feel she did so because she’s envious of Megan who’s prettier, younger and not a retokada like her.

But will her supporters be able to save Megan again tonight now that she’s up against Zara Aldana (who got ten votes) and two-in-one housemates Baron and Donald Geisler (actually, it was Baron who got nine votes and Donald was “nadamay lang”)? If you want to vote for Megan text BB 2; for Baron and Donald, BB 7; and for Zara, BB 11, then send to 2331 for Globe and 231 for Smart.

For its Halloween presentation, “PBB” gave its housemates the chance to sacrifice for people in need. Riza, McCoy and Victor were allowed to leave the house to help the family of someone who died. They were sent to the morgue to prepare the remains of the deceased for the funeral. Riza, current head of household, was chosen as she had a cousin who died recently in Canada and she was not able to go there because of commitments here in the Philippines. Victor was chosen because his dad died five years ago and he wasn’t even able to go to the wake as he’s a love child. McCoy accompanied them since he’s used to dead people since his family has a funeral parlor.

Racer Gaby and comedian Ruben were told to act like the statues of St. Michael and the Devil at the PBB garden, with Baron putting hot melted candle on their hands as part of their sacrifice. But later, Gaby felt bad as she thought Kuya did not acknowledge the sacrifice she did with Ruben. Kuya explained that he’s just waiting for everyone to finish all their assignments and ‘all’s well that ends well’ with them. The housemates won for all their sacrifices. Some of them even cried knowing that they were able to help some people on All Souls Day, even if Kuya subjected them to some scary experiences during the season. About 100 kids also visited them in costume for Trick or Treat and the housemates were also in costume as they celebrated Halloween in Kuya’s house.

Boy Abunda nag-sorry para kay Mariel

ANG manager na ni Mariel Rodriguez na si Boy Abunda ang humihingi ng pang-unawa at dispensa sa tinuran ng kanyang alaga in one of the episodes of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.

Kamakailan kasi, nag-dialogue si Mariel sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya na kadiri ang showbiz habang kausap nito si Jon Avila.

Marami ang nag-react sa statement na ’yun ni Mariel dahil hindi naman tama na marinig ang mga ganu’ng salita mula sa kanya since nasa showbiz din naman siya.

Unfortunately, hindi napanood ni Kuya Boy ang naturang episode at gusto niya munang malaman kung paano nasabi ni Mariel ’yun. Baka naman daw kasi may pinanggalingan ang statement.

Nevertheless, siya na ang humihingi ng dispensa sa mga nasabi ng alaga.

“Ano pa nga ba, eh, ’di eto na naman ako at humihingi na naman po ng sorry,” sabi ni Kuya Boy sa mga nakatsikahang reporter recently.

Matatandaan kasing sinalo rin ni Kuya Boy ang alagang si Ai-Ai de las Alas nang magkamali itong makipag-usap sa GMA-7 management nang hindi niya alam, dahilan para mapabalitang lilipat nga ang komedyana.

Humingi noon ng dispensa si Kuya Boy sa mga bossing ng GMA-7 at ABS-CBN na nagulo dahil sa ginawa ni Ai-Ai.

Samantala, from a reliable source, we learned na baka hindi na palabasin sa loob ng PBB house si Mariel dahil malaki ang naitutulong nito sa ratings ng programa.

Si Mariel daw ang nakakapagpa-add ng spice sa PBBCE 2 at proof na nga ’yung lahat ng ikilos niya at sabihin sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya ay pinag-uusapan.

Baron, taklesa at insensitive

SA ikalawang pagkakataon sa loob ng dalawang linggo, ang celebrity housemate na si Megan Young ay nahaharap sa posibleng eviction sa Pinoy Big Brother house. Ito ay sa dahilan siya ang piniling i-nominate ni Ethel Booba.

Bilang Head of Household, may karapatan si Ethel, sa bisa ng power na ipinagkaloob sa kanya ni Big Brother, na magbigay ng automatic nomination sa sinumang housemate na kanyang piliin.

Hindi naman naging madali para kay Ethel na piliin si Megan. Medyo nag-atubili pa siya bago ibinigay kay Megan ang black medallion na nagsisimbulo na nominated for eviction ang young star.

Bukod kay Megan, ang iba pang nominado for eviction sa linggong ito ay si Mutya ng Pilipinas 2007 quitter Zara Aldana at ang Geisler Brothers. Si Zara, na reklamo ng mga housemates ay hindi pa rin maka-establish ng connection sa kanila, ay nakatanggap ng10 nomination points.

Siyam na puntos naman ang natanggap ni Baron Geisler dahil, ayon sa mga housemates, hindi nila feel ang pagiging tactless at insensitive ng actor. Dahil sa kanilang two-in-one status, nanganganib din ma-vote out ang Taekwondo champ na si Donald, kasama ni Baron.

Nakatakdang maganap sa Sabado ang second eviction night sa Big Brother House. Sino kaya kina Megan, Zara, and the Baron-Donald tandem ang magpapaalam sa Bahay ni Kuya? Para iligtas ang paborito ninyong housemate, mag text na.Text BB2 for Megan, BB7 for Baron and Donald, and BB11 for Zara. Send to 2331 for Globe, Touch Mobile and Sun Cellular subscribers, and 231 for Smart, Talk N' Text, and Addict Mobile subscribers.

Shaina tinalakan dahil kay John Prats

How true itong aming nabalitaan na pinagalitan daw ni Ms. Maribeth Bichara si Shaina Magdayao after her dance number dahil naka-flat-shoes lamang daw ito habang sumasayaw ng samba?

Ayon pa sa nagkuwento sa amin, hindi nagustuhan ng batikang choreographer ang epekto ng pagsuot ni Shaina ng flat shoes dahil nga hindi naging sexy tingnan umano ang sayaw on stage.

Ganoon?

Ang chika pa, pinagbabawalan daw kasi ni John Prats si Shaina na magsuot ng heels. Para nga naman maging disimulado ang height difference nila, di ba?

Hay naku, ito lang ang masasabi namin. Sa pag-ibig height, age and distance really don’t matter. Life is short kaya enjoy!

Angelika: I've nothing against Juday

DOES Angelika de la Cruz have something against Judy Ann Santos? How come she chose to play villain to Kristine Hermosa in “Prinsesa ng Ban-yera” and not to Juday in “Ysabella”?

“I have nothing against Juday,” she says. “I consider her my friend since we did ‘Esperanza’ na sisters kami. It’s just that mas maganda talaga ang role ko in ‘Prinsesa ng Ban-yera’ as I’m not a villain here. Pantay ang role namin ni Kristine as twin sisters. Ang kaibhan lang, masyado akong ambis-yosa rito.

“Iniwan ko sila ng mommy naming si Jaclyn Jose dahil ayokong maging poor and I joined our rich lola, Lollie Mara. I’m avoiding kontrabida roles kasi mahirap ma-typecast sa ganun. Mas okay ‘yung marami kang klase ng roles na ginagawa. I told my manager, Boy Abunda, that I don’t really like villain roles anymore. He told me it’s my fault kasi I was so good in ‘Bituing Walang Ningning’ as kontrabida to Sarah Geronimo kaya puro villain roles ang offers sa akin after that.”

She and Kristine have something in common. They’re both ex-GFs of Jericho Rosales. How is it working with Kristine now? “No problem. We’ve worked before na naman in ‘Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas’ at hindi na-ging issue ‘yun sa amin. I’m glad to be working with her again in ‘Prinsesa ng Banyera’.”

She has not made a movie for a long time. Is she very choosy? “Actually, may offers, but all sexy films require me to disrobe. Eh, hindi ko talaga kaya. I don’t have to go bold at hindi naman ako naghihirap. I admire those who have the guts to do it. As for me, hindi rin gusto ng parents ko at ng non-showbiz boyfriend ko na magpa-sexy ako.”

Maja niregaluhan ng necklace ni Jay-R

AGREE kami sa sinabi ni Tito Deo Endrinal ng ABS-CBN na si Maja Salvador ang susunod na next important star ng kanilang network.

Bukod kasi sa very talented ang dalaga, napaka-down to earth din nito at pinagbubuti ang lahat ng trabahong ibinibigay sa kanya. She deserves all the blessings that she’s enjoying now!

Maja turned 19 yesterday at nagkaroon ng presscon and at the same time parang asalto na rin sa kanya ang staff at production team na bumubuo ng Pangarap Na Bituin kung saan regular siyang napapanood ngayon.

Sorpresa ito para kay Maja kaya teary eyed ang dalaga nang i-announce ni Tito Deo ang tungkol dito. Tito Deo also recalled na taong 2004 nang lumabas si Maja sa isang interbyu para sa The Buzz and the rest is history.

Sa surprise birthday presscon, present din ang ka-loveteam ni Maja na si Jay-R Siaboc sa Pangarap na Bituin. Sa umpisa ng presscon, the press addressed them Ruby and Jeffrey. Ito ang mga character na ginagampanan nila sa Pangarap na Bituin.

May regalo si Jay-R kay Maja. Isa itong necklace pero hindi namin alamkung white gold ba ito o silver.

“Nakaka-touch, kasi alam ko na marami pang bayarin si Jay-R at nagsisimula pa lang din siya, pero nag-effort si-yang magbigay ng gift,” kuwento ni Maja.

Ipinahayag din ni Jay-R ang kanyang pagmamahal at pasasalamat kay Maja.

“Napakasuwerte ko dahil siya ang nakapartner ko. Hindi siya madamot magturo, hindi siya mahirap pakisamahan. Wala siguro ako rito ngayon kung hindi dahil sa kanya,” wika pa niya.

Happy birthday, Maja,
