Lorna’s eldest son joins showbiz

By U.S. News Agency / Asian

The son of Lorna Tolentino and the late action star Rudy Fernandez has followed in the footsteps of his parents.

Rap Fernandez finally joined show business via ABS-CBN’s upcoming series “Buhawi Jack,” with Gerald Anderson as the lead star.

In an interview with “The Buzz,” Rap said he accepted the villain role because he believes that it is the right opportunity and right time for him to face the cameras.

“Timing. Feeling ko ito na ang tamang panahon at medyo introvert ako. At ngayon binigyan ako ng opportunity… So, malaking karangalan para sa akin,” Rap said.

The newbie actor admitted that he feels pressure given the fact that his mother is a grand slam actress and his dad was one of the country’s showbiz icons.

“Given ‘yong background ko nga, mayroon [siyempreng pressure],” he said. “So far, naman yong experiences ko with showbiz maayos naman. Masarap ang pakiramdam na ‘yong tao automatic ay mabait na sa iyo. Parang kilala ka na nila, ‘yong pakitungo nila sa iyo maganda na agad. So, nakakataba ng puso.”

Rap said he is now prepared to face the darker side of showbiz like the intrigues.

“Handa na din ako doon kasi feeling ko kabuntot ‘yon ng trabaho ko. So, kung kasama na siya sa trabaho ay tatanggapin mo na lang,” he said.

Rap, the eldest son of Tolentino and Fernandez, said he is dreaming of doing a project with KC Concepcion and Judy Ann Santos.

When asked to enumerate his top 3 favorite actor, Rap answered Sid Lucero, John Estrada and his father.

Sharon Cuneta, Judy Ann Santos at Sarah Geronimo magsasama sa pelikulang ‘Magkakapatid’

Isa na namang power team-up ang niluluto ng Viva Films for 2011.

Ito ay ang dramedy film na may working title na “Magkakapatid” na posibleng pagbidahan nina Judy Ann Santos, Sarah Geronimo at megastar Sharon Cuneta.

Si Sarah at Judy Ann ay nagkasama na sa pelikulang “Hating Kapatid” last year at kumita ito ng mahigit P80 million sa takilya. Ngayong balak muli ng Viva na pagsamahin ang dalawa at idadagdag pa ang Megastar, tiyak na power combination ito na hahamon sa kinita ng samahang Vic Sotto at Bong Revilla sa MMFF top-grosser na “Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote.”

Maging si Kris Aquino at Ai Ai delas Alas ay nagbabalak ding magsanib pwersa for an MMFF movie.

Mukhang mauuso ngayong 2011 ang mga power tandem dahil sure hit nga naman ito sa takilya.

Judy Ann Santos' New Project for 2011

Since she is enjoying her role as a doting mom to her first baby Lucho, actress Judy Ann Santos has taken on a different kind of project while she prepares to make a comeback on television. Judai takes advantage of her culinary talents and is now a contributor for the Sharon At Home Magazine. The award-winning actress said, she has wanted to share her thoughts in Sharon Cuneta’s magazine for the longest time. “Tinext ko si Ate Sharon, sabi ko sa kanya ‘Ate magaapply akong contributor ng Sharon At Home, okay lang ba?’ ‘Yun lang tapos nagtext na siya ng ‘Oo ano ka ba’ ganyan, ganyan. So doon siya nagsimula. Actually nagsisimula pa lang yung Sharon At Home, gusto ko na maging contributor, para may iba naman akong ginagawa.”

Judy Ann also shared to Showbiz News Ngayon what it felt like writing her first article. “Nung sinusulat ko yung column, parang ilang beses akong natulala, di ko alam kasi kung paano ko sisimulan yung column kasi this is the first column na ilalabas. I want it to be friendly yung dating. At saka gusto ko marami talagang matutunan sa kin yung mga young moms.”

For her column titled “Simple Lang,” she shared the recipe of her Japanese fried rice, the first dish she cooked for her husband Ryan Agoncillo. “For the longest time di ko shini-share yung recipe na ‘yon, kasi madamot talaga ako sa recipe. Pero this time naisip ko marami naman nang nakinabang dun sa Japanese fried rice. I’m thinking of sharing some recipes na friendly, like how to make your children eat vegetables, yung mga ganun like tricks of the trade para di mahirap pakainin ng vegetables yung mga bata.”

Watch out for Judai’s column in the first anniversary issue of Sharon At Home Magazine out in newsstands and bookstores this January.

Showbiz News: Juday, Ready Na Ulit Magka-Baby!

After giving birth to her and husband Ryan Agoncillo’s son last October 7, Judy Ann Santos has mostly been keeping a low profile. Baby Lucho was christened last November 15 after which Judai has been rarely seen in public.


But in the January issue of The Buzz Magazine, Judai’s Mommy Carol and elder sister Jackie granted an interview with to share the actress’s experiences as mother to Baby Lucho.

Jackie revealed that Judai went through a delicate delivery. “Sabi ng doktora, every time na mag-iire si Judai, naglo-lower ang heartbeat ng bagets, nasasakal siyempre.” The doctor had opted for a caesarian delivery, but luckily a few minutes later, Judai’s water bag broke and Lucho easily came out. Ryan went inside the delivery room to cut the umbilical cord.

Mommy Carol talked about how Judai has become a very dedicated mother to Baby Lucho. “Maski wala siyang tulog makikita mo talaga, naaawa nga ako. Kahit wala siyang tulog, tatakbo siya. Pero natutuwa ako kasi gusto ni Lucho minu-minuto kasama niya ang nanay niya.” According to Mommy Carol, Baby Lucho would often cry every 30 minutes, hence Judai would rush to breastfeed.

Mommy Carol said that after getting married, Judai had already prepared herself for motherhood, that’s why the actress has chosen to slow down with showbiz work. Judai is also prepared if God will bless her with another child soon. But fans of the Young Superstar need not fret because this 2011, Judai will again grace TV as host of the new reality show Junior Master Chief!
