Ella reveals crush on Xian; Bianca’s take on transgender issue

By ALEX VALENTIN BROSAS

May 3, 2012, 8:25am

 

MANILA, Philippines — Teen star Ella Cruz is not about playing coy when it comes to answering showbiz questions.

“Crush ko po si Xian Lim,” the 15-year-old declared on “TV Patrol,” May 2. “Gusto ko po siyang makatrabaho.

“Saka si Kim Chiu po, gusto ko po siyang makatrabaho,” she noted from her wish list that also included Anne Curtis and Judy Ann Santos.

Ella’s biggest break to date is her lead role in the TV series “Aryana.” But the young actress didn’t just land the job like it fell from the sky. Paying her dues, she toiled long and hard for a crack at stardom, beginning with—not surprisingly—joining kiddie pageants.

“Talagang lahat po ng contest na puwede kong salihan sinasalihan ko po,” she unabashedly admitted. She didn’t complain if her roles then were minors like “padaan-daan lang sa likod, best friend lang nu’ng bida, okay lang po.”

Ella is at a promising stage in her career now, so when asked what role would give her the ultimate challenge, she quipped, “Gusto ko po ‘yung kakaiba, eh, kunwari baliw.”


Meanwhile, former beauty queen Bianca Manalo, Ella’s co-star in “Aryana,” was ased to give her stand on the controversial issue of transgenders being considered to join the Miss Universe pageant.

“Ako po personally, meron naman pong sariling pageant for them (transgenders),” she pointed out.


As for Miriam Quiambao’s rants about homosexuals, Bianca opted to steer clear of the issue, noting, “Opinion na niya po ‘yon, eh. ‘Yun po ang stand niya [so] rirerespeto ko na lang po ‘yon.”

Dramatic actors in a ‘fun show’

GLENDALE, CA.-- We watched the third leg of the Teleserye Bida US Tour 2012 at Alex Theatre on Brand Blvd.  in Glendale last Saturday night (US time) and the cast, Enchong Dee, Sam Milby, Gerald Anderson, Rayver Cruz and Xian Lim, with host, Pokwang and guest, Young JV, provided the audience, mostly female, a great time.

They had their first show in Hawaii, then in Chicago.

We know that just two or three of the boys could really carry a tune, but the crowd obviously didn’t mind as they screamed their lungs out on each performance. Even Young JV got his share of adulation, as the others were hotly supported by Filipino fans in the US. Some of them, we learned, came from San Francisco and San Diego, and even as far as Georgia.

Enchong fairly drew some noises, and so did Rayver especially when a woman he invited from the audience gamely did a sexy dance as if trying to seduce him onstage. But Xian pulled another surprise just like what happened at their meet-and-greet event at the Celebrity Center two days ago.

Fans were chanting Xian’s name as he performed, and no one cared if he was missing some lyrics of the B40 song he sung.

And obviously, Gerald’s appearance was most awaited that evening.  As soon as he was stage-born , both front aisles were filled with fans who forced themselves towards the stage for a closer shot, and for some who got luckier, a photograph with him. He regaled them with two songs, and his Budoy antics.

But Sam, for his part, was never edged out by his colleagues. In fact, When Pokwang called him to perform, screams quickly devoured his opening spiels. “Did you miss me?,” asked Sam who just came from New York where he was auditioning for some movie parts for the show in L.A. And there was a deafening “Yes” from the audience. Sam said that he is soon going back to Manila to do a new series with Judy Ann Santos.
As a whole, it was fun. After the show, no one was accused of shortchanging anyone, as we saw a smiling crowd heading for the exit.

Gerald Anderson's dream co-stars

(The Freeman) Updated March 30, 2012 12:00 AM



CEBU, Philippines - If Gerald Anderson were to draw up a wish list of female co-stars, the young actor said former soap opera queens Judy Ann Santos and Claudine Barreto would top his choices.

Not necessarily as leading ladies because of the age gap, but as co-actors in a project that will again challenge his dramatic chops, the same way that his last television starrer where he portrayed an autistic child did.

When it comes to his next on-screen romantic interest though, he doesn’t have an immediate preference.

“Foremost in my mind is the kind of project and the concept behind it. As a leading lady, as long as we have good chemistry and we fit the part, then I’m all for it,” Gerald, 23, told The FREEMAN.

He was last paired on TV with Jessy Mendiola in ABS-CBN’s Budoy, and with Sarah Geronimo in his most recent Star Cinema movie Won’t Last a Day Without You.

While the Fil-Am heartthrob is currently played up with singer-actress Sarah Geronimo, his long-time love team Kim Chiu is likewise heavily linked to her My Binondo Girl castmate Xian Lim. Does he miss his tried-and-tested team-up with the Cebuana chinita?

Gerald, whose ticket to tinsel town was through joining the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition in 2006, said, “Me and Kim started together and we were a love team for four years, so we became each other’s comfort zone. If I say something in a scene, I already know what her reaction will be, and vice-versa. It’s good to be partnered with different actresses, so that when time comes that we’ll be working together again, we already have experiences outside of each other.”

One of those successful projects he had outside of the Kimerald mold was the recently ended primetime series Budoy, where he was seen in the offbeat role of a person with Angelman syndrome who had flashes of genius. For the part, he willingly shed weight, grew his hair (later shaved it bald), used brow extensions and wore false teeth.


His efforts were worth it, Gerald said, because of the feedback from viewers who understood the drama’s underlying message. “There were parents who came up to me to say thank you because they also had ‘Budoys’ of their own. Which is good because we had a saying in the show ‘Be happy, be Budoy.’ My character became a symbol of happiness. I’m happy that we were able to bring that across to viewers, and that we were able to inspire them, even those families who have no special children in their brood,” expressed Gerald.

He added that playing a mentally challenged individual also opened opportunities for him to help others. “Aside from the basketball charities I participated in to help typhoon victims, I also gave a cash donation for a school, where I did my immersion with special children. It was in that school where I observed their mannerisms, habits, their interaction with other children and adults.”

With no soap or film tying him up at the moment, Gerald will fly to the United States today for the Star Magic US Tour and for a Teleserye Bida 2012 Tour on March 31. (FREEMAN)

Juday, Xian, at Kim magsasama sa bagong teleserye ng Dos

---

Ni Ador V. Saluta
KATATAPOS lang ng matagumpay niyang programang Pinoy Junior Masterchef, Masterchef pero isang soap opera na agad ang pinaghahandaan ni Judy Ann Santos.
Ayon sa spy namin sa Dos, selyado na ang usapan ni Juday at ng ABSCBN management para sa kanyang next project. At ang ibinulong sa amin na makakasama ng young superstar ang isa sa hottest loveteam ng bansa, sina Kim Chiu at Xian Lim.
Siguradong nakarating na rin ito sa KimXi (fans nina Kim at Xian), at tinitiyak ng dalawang young stars na magugustuha at tatangkilikin din ng televiewers ang programa ng kanilang idolo gaya ng naging pagtanggap sa successful na My Binondo Girl.
Samantala, wala raw masyadong pressure kay Juday ang gagampanan niyang role sa bagong teleserye dahil hindi ito kagaya ng mga dati niyang soap na heavy drama.
Ayon sa aming informant, matutuwa at maaaliw ang fans nina Juday, Xian, at Kim.
Hindi kasi ito straight-drama dahil hinaluan ito ng pampakilig at comedy na aayon sa taste ng kabataang viewers.
