Empoy pinakanakakatawa sa My Illegal Wife

Kung bitbit ni Pokwang noong premiere ng kanyang movie with Zanjoe Marudo, My Illegal Wife, ang nag-iisang anak na si Ria Mae, dumating naman si Zanjoe na ang kasama ay ang girlfriend na si Bea Alonzo.

The premiere of My Illegal Wife, produced by Skylight Films, was at the Megamall Cinema 7.

At the Uncle Chef Restaurant, also on the third floor ng Megamall, the stars, production crew and everyone behind the film, shared a blowout.

Na most everyone at the gathering surprised when they spotted Lou de Vera, na lumalabas-labas sa TV5, na dumating sa Uncle Chef Restaurant.

Well, baka dahil kay Empoy Marquez, a TV5 talent too, pero free to do films with either Skylight Films o ang sister outfit nitong Star Cinema, bulong sa amin ng aming katabi.

Empoy, who is also in the cast of My Illegal Wife, had the funniest scenes in the movie. When his dialogue calls for him to deliver it in English, tiyak masasapok siya ni Uncle Sam.

Pero na nakakatawa. Also with Pokwang and Zanjoe sa My Illegal Wife are Edgar Allan Guzman, Pooh, Joy Viado, Beauty Gonzales, at Anita Linda. Introducing si Ellen Adarna.

Mother Lily binawalan ng doktor sa mga matataong lugar

Kung bihira na nating makita ngayon si Mother Lily sa mga malalaking gathering, lalo’t kung crowded ito, ito’y dahil order daw sa kanya ng kanyang doctor to just minimize her attendance sa mga events na exclusive at hindi gaanong matao.

Baka nga naman kasi maging dahilan ito para mag-recur ang dating sakit niya, na alam na natin kung ano.

Yes, the Big C na kaagad naagapan ng kanyang doctor, kaya gumaling siya.

Kaya, huwag tayong magtaka kung wala siya sa event ng mga Gutierrez on Sunday, lalo pa nga at malapit ang pamilyang ito sa kanya.

Matatandaang it was Mother Lily, who gave Eddie his first comeback movie, after his decision na umuwi ng Pilipinas, matapos silang manirahan sa ibang bansa nang matagal ding panahon.

Naging daan ang pelikulang Kailangan Kita, para ma-revive ang tandem nina Eddie at Susan Roces.

Una namang nagbigay ng break kay Ruffa, na noon ay 13 lang at akalang ‘di na tatangkad tulad ngayon, ang mag-asawang Direk Carlo Caparas at Donna Villa, via the movie, Pamilyang Pilyo sa Chicks, na pinangunahan nina Eddie at Eric Quizon. At 13, wala pang menstruation noon si Ruffa.

As child stars naman, ang mag-asawa ring Caparas ang nagbigay ng unang pelikula ng kambal na sina Raymond at Richard (Gutierrez) na Kambal Tuko.

Sa pelikulang ito, which Direk Carlo directed for their own film firm, Golden Lions Films, itinampok si Joey de Leon.

Sayang at ‘di na as active as they used to ang Caparas couple sa paggawa ng movie.

The industry misses them.

Luis bumuntot kay Angel

Guess who joined Angel Locsin in her recent trip to Japan, where, along with Philippine Ambassador to Japan, Manolo Lopez, she handed out awards to the winners of the Bayaning Filipino Awards?

Luis Manzano, that’s who.

‘‘It’s raining in Japan,’’ ani Chit Guerrero, ABS-CBN Vice President for Special Projects and head of Bayaning Pilipino. ‘‘Pero enjoy ang dalawa. Ganundin kami.’’

Luis is extra close to Chit, who used to produce the dance program ng Mommy ni Luis, si Batangas Governor Vilma Santos, both in GMA 7, and, later, sa ABS-CBN.

Kaya, ang turing daw ni Chit kay Luis ay parang anak niya, since kababata raw nito ang anak niyang si Alco Guerrero, now a director for TV, also in ABS-CBN.

‘‘The way I see it,’’ dugtong pa ni Chit. ‘‘Magkasundo sina Luis at Angel.

‘‘I wish them the best,’’ pahayag pa ni Chit.
