MANILA, Philippines -- Sam Milby is admittedly feeling the pressure of being the on-screen partner of an actress dubbed as a "young superstar."

For his latest television outing titled "Against All Odds," Milby is paired with actress Judy Ann Santos for the first time. Coming into the initial filming for the project, Milby said he felt shy being around Santos.
"I would say nung mga first taping days namin, hindi sa hindi ako kumportable, parang nahihiya ako sa kanya kasi siyempre sobrang magaling niya, sa teaser pa lang on cue talaga 'yung pag-iyak niya and everything. It’s so good," Milby was quoted as saying by Push.com.ph.
It did not take long, however, before he became at ease working with Santos, who is already considered a veteran in the local showbiz industry.
Having started acting at age 8, Santos is now dubbed a "young superstar" for her longevity and continued success as an actress.
"But I was surprised with how extremely nice she is sa lahat. It’s a lot of fun. She’s just so easy to work with. She has a lot of patience with me. Minsan kahit nabubulol ako, she’s patient with me," said Milby, who even shared a photo of him and Santos on Twitter.
Born in Ohio in the United States, Milby's early years in showbiz saw him mostly limited to speaking in English, his first language, despite being cast in a lead role.
For her part, Santos has only good words for the ex-"PBB" housemate. In a separate interview in early August, the actress said:
"With Sam naman kasi, pwede siyang maging bida, pwede siyang maging kontrabida. Oras naman na para kay Sam para gumraduate sa mga cute films, kasi mature na siya eh. At may arte siyang talaga, may arte siyang taglay, kailangan lang i-push nang husto, and he really listens."
Aside from Milby, who describes working with Santos as a "highlight" of his career, "Against All Odds" also stars KC Concepcion, Tirso Cruz III, Coney Reyes and John Estrada.
"Against All Odds" is expected for a primetime telecast later this year.

Talentadong Pinoy Kids..watch out! (cto)

Judy Ann Santos, ayaw makasama si Vilma Santos!

NOW IT can be told! Naka-usap namin ang veteran writer-talent manager at former TV host na si Tito Alfie Lorenzo at sinabi nitong ilang pelikula na pala ni Judy Ann Santos ang sana’y nakatakda nilang pagsamahan ni Vilma Santos sa Star Cinema ang hindi natuloy.

Una ay ang Anak na tinanggihan ni Tito Alfie dahil ayaw niya nu’ng role na sumasagot sa ina at matanda. No, no raw kay Tito Alfie ‘yun since wholesome ang image ni Juday at baka gayahin ng mga fans nito. Eh, napakarami pa naman ng mga fans ng young Superstar. Tinanggihan din niya ang team-up sana ni Juday with Aga Muhlach, kung saan kailangang mag-braless ito. Naloka si Tito Alfie na kailangan ‘yun sa isang eksena at mababasa pa, eh ‘di babakat ang dibdib sana ni Juday at makikita du’n, ‘di ba?

Sa dalawang pelikula, si Claudine Barretto ang pumalit kay Juday, asan na ngayon si Claudine?

May bagong offer sana kay Juday again with Vilma pero diniretso na ni Tito Alfie ang SC, Noranian sila kaya hindi siya papayag na makasama ni Juday si Vilma!

Kalokah!

Dagdag pa ni Tito Alfie, si Nora Aunor ang gustong makasama ni Juday na unang nagkasama noon sa pelikulangBabae. Sa maraming pagkakataon ay nagkasama rin ang Superstar at si Juday sa mga shows sa Amerika para sa mga Filipino community du’n. Maging ang mga fans daw ni Juday ay si Ate Guy ang gustong makasama kaya paano niya tatanggihan ang mga ito?

Naku, dami pang kuwento ni Tito Alfie na ikinaloka namin. ‘Yung tungkol sa isang sikat na aktres na ang unang award palang napanalunan ay “bayad”? Naloka kami du’n, huh! Im sure hindi ito alam ng mga fans niya lalo na ‘yung matatapang sa kanila na wala nang ginawa kundi abangan at bantayan ang bawat kilos ni Ate Guy! I-blind item pa ba kung sino ‘yun? Given na, ‘noh!

Hahahaha!

Dolphy unites TV networks in “Dolphy Alay Tawa: A Musical Tribute To The King Of Comedy”

“Dolphy Alay Tawa: A Musical Tribute To Dolphy, The Philippines’ King Of Comedy” will be held at the Mall of Asia Arena on September 19, 2012 at 7:00 PM. It is a much-anticipated event not only because it’s for Dolphy, but also because the tribute will gather celebrities from three competing television stations in the country – ABS-CBN, GMA-7 and TV5.

A-list celebrities from the three stations will gather for this rare occasion to pay homage to Dolphy, whose life touched millions through his talent and untiring commitment to entertain.

“The management of the three networks and their talents are working together to bring life to Dolphy’s autobiography,” said Dolphy’s son Eric Quizon, who spearheaded the event. He is joined in the effort by a number of his siblings like Dolphy Jr., Rolly, Edgar, Eric, Jeffrey, Vandolph, Sally, Ronnie and Zia, together with Dolphy’s longtime partner Zsa Zsa Padilla.

Majority of the performers who are joining the event have, at one point, worked with the Comedy King. Those who are named to make an appearance in the tribute are Vilma Santos, Nora Aunor, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, Sharon Cuneta, Lorna Tolentino, Boyet de Leon, Maricel Soriano, Roderick Paulate, Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Ai-Ai delas Alas, Ogie Alcasid, Edu Manzano, Janno Gibs, Pauleen Luna, Judy Ann Santos, Ryan Agoncillo, Luis Manzano, Vhong Navarro, Jolina Magdangal, Ruffa Gutierrez, brothers Richard and Raymond Gutierrez, Ruby Rodriguez, Keempee de Leon, Wendell Ramos, Edgar Allan, Martin Escudero, Alex Gonzaga, Danita Paner, Jhong Hilario, Arci Muñoz, Ritz Azul, Iya Villania, Denise Laurel, Melai, Eula Caballero, Angeline Quinto, JC de Vera, Rachelle Ann Go, and the Bulilit Kids. With special participation of Eddie Garcia, Gloria Romero, Rosa Rosal, Eddie Gutierrez, Nova Villa, German Moreno, Daisy Romualdez, and Susan Roces.

Al Quinn is directing the show with Bibeth Orteza as the scriptwriter. Author of Hindi Ko Ito Narating Mag-isa, Bibeth knows Dolphy too well as she was the one whom the late comedian told his autobiography to.

Tickets are priced at P450 (Lower Box), P250 (Upper Box), and P150 (General Admission).

But for those who will not be able to see the show live, the special dubbed "Dolphy: Alay Tawa" will air simultaneously in all three networks on September 30, 2012.

One tribute show, all three networks. Dolphy has indeed united the entertainment industry.

Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo

MANILA, Philippines -- Although she has a family of her own, young superstar Judy Ann Santos continues to be a generous daughter, according to her mother, "Mommy" Carol Santos.
Describing her daughter as generous, she said: "May pera ako diyan every 12th and 20th may pumapasok. Pinaggo-grocery niya ako. She pays for my house help. She pays for my utilities. So practically that money is mine. I can do whatever, what I want to do with that money."
"Tapos 'yung katulad sa November magku-cruise ako sa Europe, siya din yung (nagbayad doon)," she told host Kris Aquino on Tuesday during her guesting on the ABS-CBN morning show "KrisTV."
The elder Santos also praised her son-in-law Ryan Agoncillo, whom she considers a real "son."
"Alam mo si Ryan is a son. Kumbaga nagkaroon pa ako ng isang bagong anak na lalaki and more. Katulad nito itong taping na ito, 'yung car ko na kay Judai kasi nabangga 'yung car niya, 'yung Suburban niya. Eh van 'yung sa akin so she has to use the van sa dami ng gamit. So I use the small car. Eh since coding ako, so sabi ko I will just barrow a car from my friend. Sabi niya (Ryan), 'No, no. Baka sabihin pinapayagan kita you use my car. I have five cars, you choose from my cars.' So I'm using his car now. Napakasarap (ng ganoong relationship)," she said.
Santos, who is now a senior citizen, said what keeps her going is her children and grandchildren.
"Ako sobra ako sa family ako, over protective ako sa mga anak ko. Ngayon siguro they keep me going," she said.

Judy Ann Santos OK with second choice

Judy Ann Santos speaks to tabloid! about her new film for the Metro Manila Film Festival

Judy Ann Santos speaks to tabloid! about her new film for the Metro Manila Film Festival and why she doesn’t mind being the second choice for the role that was initially reserved for Comedy Queen Ai Ai delas Alas.

Q: You’ve been a part of the Metro Manila Film Festival almost every year for the last five years. And this year, you’re in one of the biggest movies that is expected to top the box office. Tell us more about it.

A: Yes, I’m shooting a movie with Vic Sotto and Senator Bong Revilla entitled Si Enteng, Si Agimat at Ako. It’s another sequel to their combined franchise movies, so it’s really big – in terms of the lead stars, you have two of biggest box office draws in the business; in terms of budget. I’m lucky to have been made part of this project.

Q: Lucky?

A: Yes. As you know, the role that I play was originally offered to Ai Ai delas Alas, but she couldn’t do it because of certain personal commitments. I thank her for the opportunity to work with Bossing (Vic Sotto) and Tito Bong (Bong Revilla).

Q: You don’t mind being a second choice?

Q: Tell us about your role.A: Not at all. The project is good, it’s an opportunity to work with great actors, what more can I ask for? There was no hesitation on my part to accept the role. I’d like to think they saw something in me that fit the role, and I’m happy to do it. I think of it as I’m a worthy replacement; and if it’s to replace Ai Ai, it’s an honour. I don’t ever hope to replace her as in her character and the way she does things. I’m going to approach it my way, and I hope it is good enough.

A: I play the role of a fairy, a sort of flirty one, but nice. I like it because it brings out the comic in me.

Q: How is it working with Vic Sotto and Senator Bong Revilla?

A: I have been waiting for so long to have this opportunity, so when it finally came, I grabbed it. I was starstruck in the beginning. They are in my bucket list of actors who I want to work with. I’m actually under pressure, because their movie franchise is a box office success; and I hope with me in it, it will still be a success. I don’t want to be the jinx of the movie [laughs].

Judy Ann Santos says she doesn't mind being second choice to Ai-Ai delas Alas in MMFF entry

http://www.pep.ph/guide/movies/10788/judy-ann-santos-says-she-doesn39t-mind-being-second-choice-to-ai-ai-delas-alas-in-mmff-entry

Matapos maging bida ni Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo sa Cinemalaya entry na Mga Mumunting Lihim, busy naman ito sa pagsu-shooting ng kanyang pelikula kasama si Bossing Vic Sotto at Senator Bong Revilla. Mapapanood sila sa pelikulang Si Enteng, Si Agimat at Ako, na isa sa mga entries ng 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival.

Noong August 14, nagkaroon ang PEP.ph ng pagkakataon na makapanayam si Juday (palayaw ni Judy Ann) tungkol sa ginagawa niyang pelikula para sa MMFF.

Pakikwento naman po ang karakter niyo sa pelikulang ito?

Juday: “Ako ang pangalan ko dun. Ako si Ako, yun ang pangalan ko dun, Ako! Isa akong Engkantada ng Kalikasan, so yun ang role ko. Taga protekta ng mga gubat, ng mga park. Naghahanap ako ng mapapangasawa sa katauhan nina Agimat at ni Enteng. Kaya tinawag ko na lang yung sarili ko na 'haliparot na fairy.'


"Para kasing nung unang shooting pa lang namin ay hirap akong ilagay yung sarili ko sa karakter, kasi hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ba talaga ako rito. Hanggang dun sa pangalawang araw, yun na nga. Naka-mado ko na yung karakter ko. Nahuli ko na yung gusto ni Direk Tony, kaya sabi ko 'Ah! Alam ko na, ako yung 'harot' na fairy dito.' Kasi, maharot talaga.”

So, kakaibang Judy Ann po ang makikita rito, isang Judy Ann na komedyante?

Juday: “Ah, oo! Sanamaitawid ko yung 'comedy side' ko rito. Kasi baka nawala na siya sa akin. Di ko masabi, eh, Inglis pa, teka teka muna, huwag kayo mag expect masyado.”

Kamusta ka trabaho si Bossing Vic at Sen. Bong sa pelikulang ito?

Juday: “Alam mo sa totoo lang, na starstruck talaga ako sa kanila. Parang hindi ako makapaniwala na ako yung nasa gitna ng dalawang naglalakihang leading man. Marami namang pwedeng iba. Yung talagang sakto dun sa karakter, pero bakit ako? Alam mo yun, may mga tanong kang ganun eh. Paano ba? Paano ko na ito itatawid? Deserve ko ba talaga tong karakter na ito? Sadyang ako ba talaga ang nararapat na gumanap dito? But then again, thankful ako na napili nila ako. Lagi kong sinasabi na once-in-a-lifetime opportunity na makasama ko sa isang proyekto ang dalawang malaking artista, kaya masyado ako nagpapasalamat. 


"Alam naman nating ang Enteng at Agimat, ay nasa magkaibang history yang MMFF, pinagsama mo sila at ako yung nasa gitna na nakakatuwa naman at nakakataba ng puso. Ang ikinatatakot ko lang ngayon…Si Enteng nag na No. 1 si Agimat nag na No. 1, nung magkasama silang dalawa bonggang bonggang No. 1 sila, walang nakahabol sa kanila. Sa pagkakataon na ito, ako lang ang idinagdag sa pamilya  nila, pag nang No. 2 kami, parang ako yata ang naging salot. So, napakalaking pressure sa 'kin, kaya abot abot ang dasal ko na 'Huwag naman please sana!' Baka katapusan na ng career ko ito.”

Aware po ba kayo na para dapat kay Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas yung role na dapat role niyo sa MMFF entry na ito?

Juday: “Oo naman! Wala namang kaso sa akin yun, ang trabaho ay trabaho, in fairness naman sa pagsusulat nung istorya, hindi naman siya na-pattern sa karakter ni Ai-Ai mula sa Tanging Ina.


"Naging honest din naman ako sa kanila na hindi ko kayang gawin yung ginagawa ni Ai-Ai, kasi nag-iisa siya pagdating sa mga ganyan pagdating sa pelikula di ba? At walang ibang makakagawa nun, kasi siya lang yun, eh. Tapat din naman silang sabihin sa 'kin na 'Oo naman, alam naman namin yun. At hindi naman yun ang ibibigay naming karakter sa iyo.'


"Ayaw ko namang isipin ng mga tao na nasapian ako ni Ai Ai,  kasi hindi ko talaga kayang i-replicate ang ginagawa ni Ai-Ai, kasi mataas ang respeto ko sa kanya. At kahit kailan ay hindi ko pwedeng pantayan ang kapasidad ni Ai-Ai pagdating sa komedya. Siya lang yun! Kaya kong itawid ang komedya pero sa sarili kong paraan. Di ko alam kung sa paanong daan pero ta-trabahuhin ko yun.” 

Imbento lang ang balitang on the rocks ang marriage nina Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo

HINDI naman natin sinasabing perfect ang relasyon ng mag-asawang Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo.

May mga pagkakataon rin naman na nagkakatampuhan ang dalawa pero ang maganda naayos din naman agad-agad.

Pero ‘yung isyung pinalalabas ng iba riyan na dinadaan pa sa blind item na on the rocks na ang marriage nina Ryan at Juday dahil may bagong babae na raw ang host/actor at hindi na raw nito tinatabihan ang kanyang misis, halata namang intriga o imbento lang.

Kumbaga, lumang-luma na ang isyu dahil iniugnay rin noon si Ryan sa dating Dabarkads co-host sa Eat Bulaga na si Diana Menezes pero hindi nagtagumpay ang mga ito na paghiwalayin ang mag-asawa.

Sabi nga ng taong nakausap namin na kakilala si Ryan, one woman man ang TV host kaya imposible na magloko ito. Saka pagdating naman kay Juday, maasikasong misis naman ang aktres kaya wala raw talagang problema pagdating sa married life ng showbiz couple.

Another thing, magmula ng mag-asawa si Juday, nagkaroon na siya ng limitations sa mga role na kanyang tinatanggap specially when it comes to love scenes. Ayaw kasi niyang pag-awayan pa nila ni Ryan ang bagay na ‘yan kaya siya na mismo ang gumagawa ng way para huwag itong mangyari.

So, magagawa pa bang mambabae ni Ryan kung ganyan kabait at katapat sa kanya ang kanyang legal wife? I’m convinced gyud! (Men, by nature are polygamous.

I’m not saying that Ryan happens to be an inveterate womanizer. Kaya lang, di siyempre nawawala sa mga lalake ang ‘umeksena’ paminsan-minsan. – Ed)

Sam Distances Self From Maja-Matteo Breakup

Sam maintains that he and Maja are just friends (File photo)

MANILA, Philippines – Sam Milby has flatly denied being involved in the breakup between Maja Salvador and Matteo Guidicelli.

According to a report by PEP posted on Sept. 4, Sam’s name was dragged into the issue apparently because he was linked to the actress two years ago when they were still co-starring in the afternoon soap, “Impostor.”

“Friends kami ni Maja, and no, I’m not the third party. Ayokong idamay ang sarili ko sa usapan na ‘yan 'coz I’m not the third party. So I don’t like to be, like, the third party kasi hindi naman ganun,” the Fil-Am actor-musician was quoted to have said.

He refused to discuss the matter further, insisting, “hindi naman ako third party or cause ng breakup nila.”

Recall that Maja confirmed her separation from Matteo on "Kris TV" last Aug. 3, but clarified that the move was a mutual decision and that no third party was involved.

Meanwhile, Sam related that taping for his upcoming soap, “Against All Odds,” with Judy Ann Santos and KC Concepcion has began.

Sam only has good words for Judy Ann.

“Sobrang bait niya to the staff, sa lahat, to everyone.  She cares for the whole production, sa amin. She’s always bringing food para sa lahat... sobrang bait talaga,” he told PEP.

Judy Ann Santos: from clueless to fashion-forward

Juday started out in showbiz in the mid-1980s as a talented child actress who could cry on cue but cared little about her looks. By 2000, though, she got into Muay Thai, lost weight, and gained confidence. Now, she’s not only a bankable movie and TV star but is also a devoted wife, a doting mother, and a certified fashionista.

Juday, paulit-ulit na binabalewala ni Piolo! Piolo, tuloy ang damage control dahil kay KC

http://www.abante.com.ph/issue/sep0412/ent_al.htm

Hindi ko type ang September issue ng Yes! magazine dahil totally devoted ito kay Piolo Pascual bilang bahagi pa rin ng damage control bunga ng hiwalayan nila ni KC Concepcion.

Biro mong gumastos pa sila para lang sa pictorial ng diumano eh bahay ni Piolo sa Las Vegas at sa Los Angeles. Kanya nga kaya ang mga bahay na ‘yun o ­inuupahan lang?

May housing units ang aking pinsan sa ­Diamond Bar kaya patatanong ko kay Vic ang mga ‘yun.

Boring din ang mga pictorial na ginawa ni Anna ­Pingol dahil puro kusina, bedroom at bathrooms ang walang katapusang nasa mga pahina na halos eh buong magazine na.

Nanduon pa ang kuwentong isang miracle baby si Piolo na nu’ng 6 months siya sa tiyan ng nanay niya ay nawala ang heartbeat nito at milagrong nagbalik at naisilang pa siya! How pathetic Jo-Ann! Nakuha kaya ang public sympathy?

Hayun na naman ang anak niya kuno na gamit ngayon para doon mabaling ang hatred ng publiko kay Piolo dahil sa ginawa niya kay KC Concepcion. Papasok na rin daw sa showbiz ang bata.

Uhum, matapos ‘yung pamangkin daw niyang si Benjamin Alves, ‘yung anak naman, ha! Si Benjamin na biglang ginawang bida sa movie ng Regal Films na naging flop din naman!
Nadamay kaya ‘yung “pamangkin” sa hatred ng publiko kay Piolo?

Ang isa pang kinainis ng mga fans ni Judy Ann Santos kaya ‘di na sila bumili ng kopya ng Yes! ma­gazine ay ‘yung tila naibang history ng buhay showbiz ni Piolo na hindi man lang nabigyan ng credits ang tulong na ginawa ni Juday para sa kanya, kaya siya sumikat nang husto.

Mas binigyan ng kredito ang pagiging kontrabida niya roon sa teleserye ni Marvin Agustin kesa mga ginawa nila ni Juday na teleseryeng Esperanza, Sa Puso Ko Iingatan Ka, etc.

Ano bang naibigay ng teleserye ni Marvin sa estado ni Piolo?
Binanggit pa ang pinagbidahang movie ni Piolo na Lagarista na nag-flop naman sa takil­ya na tumapos sa career ng may idea nito na si Tatus Aldana at ikinamatay.

Eh bakit ‘di binigyan ng malaking kredito ang pagiging guest ni Piolo sa first of Juday’s drama series at sa last episode guesting nito? Mas sumikat si Piolo dahil sa guesting niya roon.

At ang first starring role ni Piolo with ­Juday sa Kahit Isang Saglit, na nasundan pa ng Bakit ‘Di Totohanin, atbp. Sino ba ang nagpasikat kay Piolo Pascual? Hindi nga ba si Juday?

Bakit pati yata petsa ng pagsisimula ni Piolo sa showbiz ay naiba ang petsa? Puwede rin palang maiba ang history, ayon sa kagustuhan ng manunulat?

Kulang na lang ay magmakaawa si Piolo sa magazine and say, “Please I need the public’s understanding and sympathy!”

Working Mom September ish!
