Angel may go signal na mag-regular na sa Showtime

Obvious na talagang nag-enjoy si Angel Locsin sa kanyang first appearance as co-host of the noontime musical show It’s Showtime ng ABS-CBN, nung Saturday.

When, last Tuesday, her producer sa kanyang weekly romance-comedy series Toda Max, Cynthia Roldan gave her the go signal to again act as co-host of It’s Showtime, she took the opportunity to do so.

“Kaya bale Vhong (Navarro) and I are in two shows together now,” sabi ni Angel.

“Leading man ko rin siya sa Toda Max ’di ba?”

So when will she be a regular of the show?

“Well, malapit na. Hopefully, magawan ng paraan. Kahit lang twice a week akong nasa It’s Showtime,” sagot niya.

“Lalo akong na-inspire to be a part of the show when, last Tuesday, nakasama namin si Vice (Ganda). He is a good friend as well.”

Rufa Mae kumuha ng coach na expert sa boxing, muay Thai, at firing

Ang tagal na rin mula nang huling mapanood natin si Rufa Mae Quinto sa pelikula. At nakaka-miss siya. Sa totoo lang. Lalo pa nga’t seldom din siyang mapanood natin sa TV, sa Bubble Gang lang.

No doubt na magiging welcome treat, lalo na sa kanyang following ang kanyang soon to be released movie, Ang Huling Henya, where she will do not just comedy and a little drama but also physically demanding action scenes.

Did you know that for these action scenes, Rufa Mae got herself a coach na expert sa boxing, muay Thai, at firing?

Rufa Mae thinks it’s just right that Viva Films got Marlon Rivera to direct Ang Huling Henya.

Direk Marlon was the director of the award-winning and box-office movie Ang Babae sa Septic Tank topbilled by Eugene Domingo.

It is Direk Marlon whom Kris Aquino, Vic Sotto, and Tony Tuviera, na producers of the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry Torky and My Little Bossing, tasked to direct the film with Bossing and Kris together with showbiz child stars Bimby Yap and Ryzza Mae Dizon.

‘Raketeros’ nagkabukingan ng mga dating sIkreto

Nagkabukuhan ang ilang members ng cast ng Raketeros, consisting of Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista, Long Mejia, Andrew E., Dennis Padilla, at Ogie Alcasid, nang magkaroon sila recently ng movie presscon.

For example, not everyone from among the entertainment press present knew na, at one time pala, ay na-in love si Andrew sa aktres na si Ana Roces na occasionally na lang these days kung lumabas sa movie at TV.

Sabi nga ng isang entertainment writer who knew about the romance, cry me a river si Andrew nang basterin ito ni Ana.

Well, we all know, of course, na happily married na now si Andrew E. to a non-showbiz. In the case of Ana, her marriage, also to a non-showbiz did not prosper.

Mayroong anak si Ana na isa from that marriage.

Did we all know, too, that Dennis had a hand kung bakit nagkalapit sina Raymart Santiago and his now estranged wife, Claudine Barretto?

Understandable naman kasi dating kasal si Dennis sa nakatatandang kapatid ni Claudine na si Marjorie, who is the mother of Dennis’ young actress daughter Julia Barretto.

May kanya-kanya nang buhay sina Dennis at Mar­jorie ngayon. Samantalang alam nating lahat ang problemang kasalukuyang namamagitan bet­ween Claudine at Raymart.

It was at the said gathering, too, that Ogie revealed that among the young actresses ngayon na kanyang hinahangaan ay si Julia.

“Anak ko ’yan,” reaction kaagad ni Dennis.

“Oo naman, alam ko,” biglaang sagot ni Ogie. “Sinasagot ko lang ang tanong kung sino sa mga young star ngayon ang peg ko.”

Well, take a bow, Julia.
