Nash Aguas and Anne Curtis Joins Kuya Kim in Matanglawin 'Under the Sea' Adventure (March 30)

Kuya Kim joins forces with teen heartthrob Nash Aguas and Dyesebel herself, Anne Curtis, for an under the sea adventure that will cap off Matanglawin’s month-long sixth anniversary celebration this Sunday (Mar 30).

Watch the “LUV U” star explore the Manila Ocean Park and interact with penguins, stinging jellyfish, and stingrays. “This is the first time I will do this. Are they really safe?” asked a hesitant Nash when he goes into the manta ray pool.

Nash isn’t the only one who has challenges to overcome because Anne also had to learn how to become a mermaid for her new role as Dyesebel. “Wearing the mermaid tail while swimming is really hard. It’s very heavy and only becomes buoyant when underwater,” explained Anne.

Anne also has to hold her breath too for quite some time.  “The longest time I was able to hold my breath was one minute and 25 seconds,” she added.

Kuya Kim will attest to that as he personally wears his own merman tail and sees if he can make it as Dyesebel’s newest leading man.

Now on its sixth year, “Matanglawin” continues to educate its viewers via fun-filled and trivia-filled episodes weekly. It has been consistently earning accolades from various award-giving bodies with Kuya Kim being among the top choices as best educational program host. Just recently, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) recognized the program with the very prestigious Ani ng Dangal award. “Matanglawin” also made it as finalist in the Educational/Instructional category of this year’s New York Festivals where it will compete with entries from different parts of the world.

Don’t miss “Matanglawin,” this Sunday (Mar 30), 9:30 AM, on ABS-CBN.

Anne and Lloydie were the newest endorsers of Century Tuna and together, they are featured in the new ad campaign for the canned tuna brand. The Dyesebel star posted on Instagram Tuesday a photo of her with John Lloyd in the new ad.

"Welcome to the @centurytunasuperbods JL!" Anne said on the photo's caption, which also encouraged everyone to join the actor on his road to fitness through the Century Tuna Superbods Challenge.

The Century Tuna ad campaign is the first time that the Anne and John Lloyd worked together after the alleged slapping incident at a bar last November. Both Anne and Lloydie have moved on from the issue and just referred to it as a 'lesson learned.'

Vhong Navarro Jokes About 'Condo' on It's Showtime (February 17)

Comedian Vhong Navarro is slowly learning to smile and crack jokes again after the mauling incident which happened in a condo in Taguig. In fact, the It's Showtime host already joked about the 'condo' thing during Anne Curtis' birthday celebration on the noontime show, February 17.

Vhong Navarro surprised Anne by greeting her via phone patch. Watch the video here.

"Anne, pasensya ka na ah kung hindi ako nakapunta nung birthday mo, sa party mo. Kung wala man ako dun sa party mo, sa puso ko, nandito ka naman lagi," said Vhong who was greatly missed by his co-hosts and the entire madlang pipol.

Anne said that Vhong being safe, kicking and greeting her on her birthday is enough, adding that it was the first time we got to hear Vhong's voice in the noontime show after the controversy.

Vhong then quipped, "Wag kang mag-alala, Anne. Kung hindi man ako nakapunta diyan para batiin ka ng live, mamaya pag uwi mo sa condo mo, nandun na ko."

The said joke sent the madlang pipol into an uproar, especially after Vice Ganda jokingly replied with, "Vhong, hindi naman talaga yung party ang na-miss mo, Vhong. Ang namiss mo talaga ay ang dami kayang foods."

Vhong also joked about staying in a safe house, which is Ryan Bang's condo while the Korean host said that CCTVs were installed in his place. Vice also made a ride on the joke and said that there's no elevator in the 'safe house' only fire exit.

"Pero Anne, nagtatampo ka ba sa akin? I miss you too," said Vhong to Anne who said she understands his situation. "Thank you, Anne. Wag kang mag-alala, babawi ako sa’yo soon," Vhong added.

Vhong also told the madlang pipol to watch out for his new film with Anne Curtis titled Kung Fu Panda 4, when the audience asked him for a sample. Vice told Vhong to sing a Blackeyed peas number, but Vhong just sang the 'Happy Birthday' song in a different melody for Anne.

Vhong ended the call by saying, "Thank you, Anne, I miss you, I love you. I love you all!"

Anne Curtis Defends Vhong Navarro Against Cedric Lee's Accusations

Concert sweetheart Anne Curtis has found a true family in ABS-CBN, and this is why she had no doubts to stay with the network for another two years as she renewed her exclusive contract this Wednesday (Jan 29).

“I have found family. They’ll always have faith in you no matter what,” Anne stated.

The actress confirmed that her new contract includes her stint as co-host of “It’s Showtime” and a teleserye every year, including the iconic “Dyesebel” written by Mars Ravelo.

“It’s every girl’s dream to become a mermaid, so to be able to portray one that’s part of the history of Philippine literature is such an honor,” she said.

Anne also shared that they will start taping for “Dyesebel” this weekend in Coron, Palawan.

Meanwhile, Anne became emotional when asked to comment on the controversy involving her close friend and “It’s Showtime” co-host Vhong Navarro.

“For me kasi, I’m just happy that he’s safe. I’m happy that he’s getting through this. Because it’s hard to be in his situation, it was traumatizing. So I’m happy that he’s getting through it, he’s being strong,” she said.

She is also not convinced that there are other women, who have been sexually assaulted by Vhong Navarro who will speak up according to some news reports, as what Cedric Lee revealed.

“He is the same person on and off-screen. He’s too good. He’s kind. For me, he always treated me well. He has always been a gentleman to me, so I have nothing bad to say about Vhong.” Anne said in defense for Vhong.

Present during the contract signing were ABS-CBN president and CEO Charo Santos-Concio, chairman Eugenio Lopez III, broadcast head Cory Vidanes, TV production head Laurenti Dyogi, business unit heads Reiley Santiago and Deo Endrinal, Viva Entertainment’s Veronique del Rosario-Corpus.

Iza Calzado to Replace Busy Anne Curtis in It's Showtime?

Actress Iza Calzado will be joining ABS-CBN noontime show It's Showtime. According to the actress, she will be a guest co-host on the show starting February 1 although she still yet to confirm whether she will be regular on the show.

"Wala pang official confirmation, but I’ll be guest host there this Saturday," Iza told reporters at the press conference for The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles which will premiere this February 3 on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.

With Anne starting to get busy with the taping of Dyesebel, many are now asking whether Iza will serve as Anne's replacement in the show for the meantime. Anne's new fantaserye will be taping in Palawan and it will be a hassle for her to fly back and forth for the noontime show which airs daily.

"Hindi na po ako makakasama sa Sana Bukas Pa ang Kahapon as I’ll focus muna on Biggest Loser then I'l still have [the movie I did with Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga] Starting Over Again that opens on February 12." Iza said.

"Meron naman po akong ibang gagawin pero, hindi ko muna po sasabihin kung ano 'yun, dito muna tayo sa The Biggest Loser," she added.

According to reports, Iza was replaced in Bea Alonzo's upcoming teleserye because her contract states that she will have to be the lead star of the teleseryes she will be doing. Iza, though, didn't mind playing support to Bea when she was asked about the project.

Do you like Iza to be a regular host in It's Showtime? Well, the girl has already some background in hosting a noontime show, being part of Eat Bulaga back when she was still in GMA-7.
