Charice Wants to Return to 'Glee' as the Gay Sunshine Corazon

International singing sensation Charice said that she wanted to return to the hit American musical TV series Glee in a gay role. Charice had a guesting stint in the second season of the said show as the Filipina exchange student Sunshine Corazon.

In an interview with ABS-CBN Hollywood correspondent Yong Chavez, Charice revealed that one of her biggest wish is to return to the hit US TV show Glee. 

"Definitely. I would still love to play Sunshine. Very open, sobrang inspirational, dahil totoo," said Charice, who has always admired how the show supported LGBT issue even before she had that guesting stint in Season 2.

Charice came out as gay on national TV just recently and she appreciated how her fans stayed loyal to her. 

Charice is currently in Hollywood to honor some commitments. While in Los Angeles, she told her US management team that she would like to audition for Hollywood movies and TV shows.

"Yun 'yung unang-unang sinabi ko sa kanila na gusto kong gawin. Kasi parang nahihilig din ako sa acting. But this time I want to play weird na roles. Seryoso, lagi nila akong pinagtatawanan na gusto kong maging serial killer, ganyan," she explained.

Charice will return to the Philippines after finishing her engagements in the US to start promoting her "Chapter 10" album. The said album talks about the new chapter in her life. 

One of the songs in the album, Unexpected Love, which Charice co-wrote with The Voice US semi-finalist Cheesa Laureta, is dedicated to her girlfriend Alyssa Quijano.

Charice's Mom Raquel Pempengco Once a Lesbian | On Alyssa Quijano: "Hindi ko siya matatanggap!"

Like mother, like daughter? Charice's mother Raquel Pempengco revealed in a press conference held in Marikina on Friday that she was once a lesbian 

According to Charice's mom, she understand the singer's situation and accept Charice's being "tomboy" as she herself was also a lesbian before. However, the only difference is that she has decided to give in to her sexual preference and chose to start a family.

Before the said presscon, Raquel's mother, Tess Relucio already revealed on PEP that her daughter had a gay relationship in the past. However, when she asked Raquel to go and marry, Charice's mom obliged.

"Hindi kami nagagalit, anak, kasi may pamilya naman tayong tomboy, e, di ba?" said Tess, Charice's maternal grandmom revealing that Raquel was also a lesbian and had an affair with women before. "Noon, oo, nag-uuwi rin ng ganyan… babae… oo, nag-uuwi rin siya ng ganyan," added Tess referring to Charice's mom.

Meanwhile, the hurting mother of Charice clarified that they already knew that Charice was a lesbian long time ago so why apologize? She also said that she can take her daughter for being a lesbian, but she can never accept Alyssa Quijano as Charice's girlfriend. "Hinding hindi ko siya matatanggap," said Raquel on Alyssa.

Charice's grandmother, Tess, explained why their family was not in favor of Charice's relationship with the AKA Jam member.

"Nasasaktan ang mommy mo kasi napakasakit sa isang ina na nakita niya kung papa'no ka laitin ng pamilya ni Alyssa Quijano, tapos ngayon sila pa ang binubuhay mo. Anak, maawa ka sa sarili mo," said lola Tess in her PEP interview.

Charice Goes Face to Face with Former Rivals in 'The X Factor Philippines'

Charice once again crossed paths with her former rivals in singing contests that she joined in the past.  But this time, she is sitting as a judge and the fate of her former rivals partly lied on her hands. 

In last Sunday’s “The X Factor Philippines,” Charice’s fellow judges Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, and Pilita Corrales were impressed that the international singing sensation remembered auditionees (one is Alyssa Quijano of Talentadong Pinoy's New Born Divas). Despite being the youngest judge in the show, Charice actively voices out her thoughts and carefully scrutinizes every hopeful so as to pick the ones who will proceed to next round and possibly be the next singing superstar of the country. Charice also continues to make buzz in the online world as more netizens watch what she is going to do in the show. 

Last weekend, some hopefuls stole the limelight like 31-year-old stand up comedian Osang. At first glance, audiences would think he would belt out a ballad as she told the judges that he would be singing an emotional song. But to everyone’s surprise, Osang started head banging and singing like real rockstar. All judge-mentors were in awe and were totally blown out by Osang’s performance that all of them gave him a big yes to advance to the next round. 

Another auditionee, 18-year-old Heley Vanessa Bayot, gave a tear jerking moment especially for judge Martin who cried while watching her give her own rendition to his song “Kahit Isang Saglit.” The young girl dedicated her soulful and heartfelt performance to her biological father who died because of cancer when she was just three years old. 

Heley, together with Osang, will now advance to the Boot Camp stage of the competition. Will they be able to survive the next round?
