Kris Aquino Backs Out of 'Sisteraka' (Filmfest Entry with Vice Ganda)

Queen of All Media Kris Aquino has backed out in doing the movie Sisteraka with Vice Ganda. The said movie is one of Star Cinema's official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. Sisteraka will also star two of the hottest teens today, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

This week, a rumor spread like wildfire saying that Kris Aquino will not be part of Sisteraka anymore and on September 23, Kris confirmed the rumors via Twitter. In a series of tweets, Kris cleared the reason why she's begging out of the movie.

Below is Kris Aquino's statement:

I didn't want to talk about work this weekend. But YES it's true I backed out of the MMFF movie w/ Vice Ganda. If u remember I lost my voice the other week & I realized I can't possibly work 7 days a wk & not have all my projects suffer. In the past my talk show was always the 1 that suffered because of my "acting" dreams. More than anything else, I am a talkshow host & I can't be effective w/ no voice. Our teleserye Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw has a story so close to my heart, about a family, about sisters, & what toll cancer takes not just for the victim but for all those she loves. I made difficult choices but I have peace in my heart. Growing up means accepting I'm not superwoman, and realizing just how blessed I am to have what's here & now.

According to reports, comedy queen Ai Ai Delas Alas will replace Kris in Sisteraka. It can be recalled that Ai Ai said earlier that she will not be joining this year's film fest out of respect for Bossing Vic whom she had worked with in the past MMFF top grosser Enteng Ng Ina Mo. However, things might be different now as she was offered to do the role and according to her 'masama raw tumanggi sa grasya.'

One good thing is that Ai Ai and co-star Vice Ganda (who reportedly had a rift in the past) had already patch things up so their working relationship in the movie will be smooth now.

Ai Ai Delas Alas and FMG Return on Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4

Comedy Queen Ai Ai Delas Alas will be back as a judge in Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4. Ai Ai will again be joining Kris Aquino and ABS-CBN former president Freddie 'FMG' Garcia in the judges' seat of PGT which will premiere soon.

Before this, there are rumors that Ai Ai and Freddie 'FMG' Garcia will not return in the next season of the said talent show. Kris Aquino was earlier reported to be back as judge for PGT Season 4.

“Alam naman natin na mahal na mahal ko ang show na ito. Excited na ako at nandiyan na siya ulit, Season 4 na. Lahat naman tayo inaabangan natin ang mga nagpi-PGT lalong lalo na 'yung mga contestants natin kasi doon nakikita natin kung gaano kadami ang talents ng Pinoy,” Ai Ai told ABS-CBN News.

The return of Pilipinas Got Talent for its 4th season will be welcomed by several changes. One of these changes is regarding auditions. Aside from the regular on-site auditions, Pinoys can now video their performance and upload it www.cge.tv/PGT4. Filipinos abroad can also join via TFCkat. There will also be roving teams to spot talented Filipinos around the country.

Since the winners of the past 3 seasons of Pilipinas Got Talent were all singing acts, the show now encourages other talents aside from the usual talent that we Filipinos are known of. Somehow, PGT will give least priority to singers, as there are other shows for them like The X Factor Philippines.

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4 will be hosted by Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford and is slated to air this October 2012 after the season finale of The X Factor Philippines.

Joey De Leon and Eugene Domingo's Tuhog, Star Cinema's MMFF Entry?

Last Friday, rumors surfaced that Star Cinema will be betting on Joey De Leon and Eugene Domingo for their 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry. The said movie of Joey and Eugene, according to online reports has a working title Tuhog.

Will there be a Joey-Eugene tandem for 2012 MMFF?

Early reports claimed that a big movie starring Kris Aquino, Vice Ganda and Ai Ai Delas Alas will be Star Cinema's entry for MMFF but with this new rumor, it seemed that a change of plan has happened.

If ever this rumor is true, then we can expect a battle between Vic Sotto and Joey De Leon for this year's MMFF. Vic will be doing a movie with senator Bong Revilla and Judy Ann Santos for MMFF. There will also be a competition between Judy Ann, Eugene and the superstar Nora Aunor for awards since Ate Guy's Thy Womb is reportedly being groomed as an MMFF entry.

If Tuhog will be the final title of Joey and Eugene's rumored movie, then it will be of the same title with Jeffrey Jeturian's 2001 film starring Jaclyn Jose, Ina Raymundo, Irma Adlawan, Klaudia Coronel and Dante Rivero about a true-to-life story of an incest-rape that is translated into a big screen project (a film inside a film).

But we guess, Joey and Eugene's movie will be comedy of sorts or can be combined with an element of horror, just like Eugene's Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme, which she is now promoting.

Judy Ann Santos Back on Teleserye with Sam Milby

Queen of Teleseryes, Ms. Judy Ann Santos will be having her comeback teleserye together with Sam Milby. According to reports, Sam Milby and Judy Ann Santos will also be joined by Jessy Mendiola and KC Concepcion.

Sam Milby and Judy Ann Santos will star in an upcoming teleserye

Both Judy Ann and Sam have their last appearance in their own teleseryes way back in 2010 with Judy Ann doing the medical drama Habang May Buhay and Sam doing 1DOL opposite Sarah Geronimo. However, Judy Ann hosted Junior Masterchef last year while Sam had his teleserye and MMK guestings.

This will be the first time that Judy Ann and Sam Milby will be working together on a teleserye. Both of them are excited with the project. Judy Ann said in an interview that the material is very good and is not a typical story.

“Kasi may pressure na kasama (dahil matagal na din na hindi nakagawa ng teleserye). Pero maganda ’yung project. Hindi siya ’yung tipikal na teleserye na nawalang kapatid, nawalang nanay, may balat ang anak, walang ganu’n. This is about women empowerment kaya maganda siya," said Judy Ann.

Meanwhile, if ever Jessy Mendiola and KC Concepcion will be included in the cast, Sam will be more comfortabel as he already worked with the two. KC did a movie with Sam (Forever and A Day) while Sam starred in an MMK episode with Jessy Mendiola last February.

Aside from the teleserye, Judy Ann will be starring in her indie film, Mga Mumunting Lihim with Iza Calzado, Janice De Belen and Agot Isidro. She is also considered to replace Ai Ai Delas Alas in an MMFF 2012 entry together with Vic Sotto and Sen. Bong Revilla. Ai Ai was reportedly joining the cast but reports claimed that Star Cinema did not allow the Comedy Queen to go with the project.

AJ Perez' MMK Episode To Air This Good Friday

Maalaala Mo Kaya's 'Tsinelas' episode starring AJ Perez and Bugoy Cariño will air once more this Good Friday, April 6. The said episode is one of the three heartwarming epsiodes that will air this Holy Week for MMK lenten presentation.

'Tsinelas' tells the story of 2 brothers (played by AJ and Bugoy) who took on a journey from Manila back to Catbalogan, Samar by foot. The said episode is a certified tear-jerker as you will see how much the brothers love each other. This was AJ Perez' last acting appearance before he died and I must say, his performance was really moving and worth 5 stars.

Meanwhile, Ai Ai Delas Alas' MMK episode entitled 'Krus' about a mother who's only 2 sons died of incurable disease and Piolo Pascual and Maricar Reyes' 'Traysikel' episode about a tricycle driver who returned a large sum of money to the owner even if his sick baby needed it the most, will complete MMK's lenten offering airing at Maundy Thursday (April 5) and Black Saturday (April 7), respectively.

Relive these inspiring stories this Lenten Season on MMK at 7 PM.

Watch the teaser below:

Ai Ai, Bossing Vic and Sen. Bong Joined Forces for 2012 MMFF Movie

Box-office Queen Ai Ai delas Alas and Box-Office Kings Vic Sotto and senator Bong Revilla will join forces in a movie up for the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

According to a recent article by Ricky Lo in his Philstar column, a source recounted on FunFare (Ricky's column) that  Ai Ai, Vic and Bong will be co-producing their own film for the MMFF 2012. 

If that will be so, we can already expect that the movie that these three, whose movies were all MMFF blockbusters, will top this year's MMFF by mile. Bossing Vic and Sen. Bong's tandem (Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote) was already a certified hit while Ai Ai and Vic's power tandem in Enteng Ng Ina Mo even surpassed that, making it the highest grossing film in last year's filmfest.

Are you excited for this gigamovie that will hit theaters in December? Well, with its powerhouse cast, who wouldn't be?

'Wako Wako' Well-loved by Filipinos, Creates Twitter Buzz

ABS-CBN’s newest fantasy series Wako Wako became a trending topic on Twitter recently, as praises and commendations on the show’s pilot episode flooded the said online platform. According to netizens, besides  Wako Wako's excellent special effects and cute representation of the wishing elves called Arukans, it is also timely to launch a children-themed series as it’s already vacation time for students.

The word “wish” was also at the center of the discussions on  Wako Wako, which means that viewers already got a good grasp of one of the program’s morals that everyone must be careful in what they wish for.

“Wako is so cute. My children love it so much,” a mother said on her Twitter post.

Meanwhile, this week on  Wako Wako, Diyosa Marishka (Aiai delas Alas) continues her search for her lost Arukan named Barkan, who’s called Wako by his new master Muymuy (Yogo Singh). Wako will find out that Diyosa Marishka landed on earth to get him back. He will, then, ask help from Muymuy, who’ll later discover the Arukan’s power to grant wishes.

Muymuy will also discover that the consecutive lucks he recently had were because of Wako’s help. But these granted wishes will pay off through a series of misfortunes for Muymuy’s loved ones. His mom Isay (Gladys Reyes) will fall off the stairs while his grandma Ima (Malou de Guzman) will get arrested due to illegal gambling.

Even Wako’s safety will be putto a test as Muymuy’s aunt Bechay (Maricar de Mesa) will mistake the Arukan as a hybrid of a monkey and a dog, and the cause of her skin allergies.

Catch Wako Wako Mondays through Fridays, before TV Patrol on ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida. For more information, like http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wako-Wako.

After their sweet, cool and blockbuster tandem in their 2010 movie “Ang Tanging Ina Mo [Last ‘Na To],” acclaimed director Wenn Deramas is excited to work once again with Comedy Concert Queen Ai Ai delas Alas in ABS-CBN’s newest fantaserye “Wako Wako,” which will air on March 5.

Ai Ai said that in his reunion with Direk Wenn, she intends to give not only pure entertainment, but also inspiration to more Filipinos. She recounted that her tandem with Deramas in movies became a hit not only on its hilarious content, but also because of the life lessons it offered to the moviegoers.

In her preparation for the new project, Ai Ai went to the Holy Land recently and visited some important places in Jesus’ life. In her pilgrimage, the Comedy Concert Queen took the chance to reflect on her life and thanked the Lord for the blessings she continues to receive.

Also featured in “Wako Wako” is the called young Coco Martin Yogo Singh. For his first ever big break, Yogo is very much excited. He never thought that portraying Coco would be a sign of something big that will be offered to him.

He will discover a magical creature and he’ll call it Wako. Wako-Wako fulfills all his wishes, but soon Muymuy discovers that every granted wish comes with a price.

A mysterious lady named Dyosa Marishka finds Muymuy and tells him that Wako is an Arukan and that she is a goddess of wishes in need of help from the creature. The goddess needs to find seven people who will provide pure selfless wishes to save her kingdom and bring her back to power. In return, Wako helps Muymuy with his family’s problems in this endearing tale of friendship and relations.

Sarah Geronimo Calls Gerald Anderson 'Babe'

On the pilot episode of Sarah Geronimo's Sunday musical variety show Sarah G Live, the Popstar princess had a slip of the tongue, creating speculations that she and Gerald Anderson are officially together. 

In one of the segments of the said show, Sarah had to go to a yacht and she was surprised that Gerald was already there. She was set up by the staff for a date on board with Gerald. The two had a great time together aboard and they spent some time singing songs from a videoke present on the yacht.

What surprised all was when Sarah told Gerald this line: "Hanap lang ako, Babe" which means she will look for a song in the list. Sarah was quick to explain that she was looking for the song Babe upon realizing what she just said and  but Gerald was also fast in teasing "Walang Babe (song) dyan."

So, are these two officially a couple now and their term of endearment is 'BABE'? How sweet, isn't it? Well, there's nothing wrong with these two falling in love with each other. How we love SASA and GEGE is for real.

Ai Ai Delas Alas in her Sarah G Live guesting congratulated Sarah for her new show. She also wished  that Sarah will find the man that will love the latter even though she's not popular or beautiful anymore. Could this be Gerald?

Ai Ai-Vilma Movie In the Works

According to PEP.ph, a new movie which stars Box office Comedy Queen Ai Ai Delas Alas and Star For All Seasons, Vilma Santos-Recto is now on a planning stage. The movie is said to be directed by 2010 MMFF Best Director, Wenn Deramas.

This will be another comedy offering from Star Cinema and rumor has it that this movie might be the movie outfit's entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. If that will be so, we can expect a lot new surprises. Vilma always star in a movie with a dramatic theme while Ai Ai had comedy as her comfort zone. The planned team up between 2 of the best actresses in the Philippines and combining 2 different genres and personalities in one movie might get the notch.

Early this year, there are talks that there will be a second Enteng-Ina movie this year (probably for the 2012 MMFF, what with latest MMFF top grosser which broke records in MMFF history?).

Whatever it will be, this Ate Vi and Ai movie will be another to look forward to whether in the filmfest or not.
