                    [Summary] => I was angry when I first heard there was a certain Joemark Lapid  recruiting talents using my name and ABS-CBN. This reminded me of a mother, a few years ago, who went to the studio to confront me as to why I had not granted her a meeting (about her nine-year-old daughter who wanted to be a singer, dancer, actress, host, "she can do anything," the proud mom declared)  they paid for.  I was in shock for 60 seconds.

Hindi si Alessandra de Rossi na tumanggi sa chance na mag-audition  sa isang American movie which would have starred her with Brad Pitt.

Tinanong ni Aster si Mikey kung type nitong mag-guest sa mga sitcom para i-promote ang pelikula niyang Kapitan Kidlat? Oo naman agad ang sagot ni Mikey, basta ‘wag lang daw sa Bubble Gang na ikinagulat namin dahil marami ang viewers ng gag show.


Nasakyan din namin kung bakit ayaw ni Mikey na mag-guest sa show. Si Rufa Mae Quinto pala ang dahilan. Ayaw na raw niyang mabuhay ang intriga sa kanila na matagal ding pinagpyestahan ng press at pinaniwalaan ng tao.

                    [Summary] => Just like Ariel Rivera before her, Canada-bred chanteuse Yamani has returned to her parents’ homeland to sing and hopefully conquer the music scene. "Three years ago, I didn’t speak a word of Tagalog," Yamani says of the time she first arrived from Vancouver. "My parents are Ilonggo, that’s why. But I’ve always had a way with languages. I can pick it up quickly. In fact, I can speak Chinese, French and now, Tagalog."

                    [Summary] => Tama lang ang pangalang Yamani sa singing talent na mula sa Prime Music dahil punung-puno siya ng kaalaman sa pag-awit. 


Last year dumating sa Pilipinas si Yamani (real name: Michelle Tan) na galing Vancouver, Canada. Bahagi ang pagpunta niya sa bansa sa pagkakapanalo niya bilang Bb. Pilipinas-Canada 2000.


Naging winning song ni Yamani sa talent portion ng beauty pageant ay ang "Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas" ni Sharon Cuneta.

                    [Summary] => As the young nymphet Becky in the blockbuster hit Balahibong Pusa, Rica Peralejo caused dark bushy eyebrows to rocket sky high in envy as she raised her status to being the next big thing in Philippine show business. She never imagined that her small role in the movie would make a big mark in moviegoers’ minds. The impact generated by her standout performance also caught the attention of the local movie industry. And the funny thing is, she never dreamt that her career would turn out this way.

                    [Summary] => Tama lang ang pangalang Yamani sa singing talent na mula sa Prime Music dahil punung-puno siya ng kaalaman sa pag-awit. 


Last year dumating sa Pilipinas si Yamani (real name: Michelle Tan) na galing Vancouver, Canada. Bahagi ang pagpunta niya sa bansa sa pagkakapanalo niya bilang Bb. Pilipinas-Canada 2000.


Naging winning song ni Yamani sa talent portion ng beauty pageant ay ang "Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas" ni Sharon Cuneta.

She never imagined that her small role in the movie would make a big mark in moviegoers’ minds. The impact generated by her standout performance also caught the attention of the local movie industry. And the funny thing is, she never dreamt that her career would turn out this way.
