Push This
Vice Ganda was very happy with the high ratings that his new show Gandang Gabi Vice has been getting almost every episode. He said this is because many Filipinos are enjoying how the program reveals the human side of celebrities not usually evident to the fans. “Nasho-showcase ‘yung totoong pagkatao ng mga artista. Kadalasan kasi ang tingin na natin sa mga artista mataas na bituin. Nagtatanong na tuloy ‘yung mga tao kung normal pa rin ba ‘yung mga buhay nila. Hindi na tuloy nakaka-relate ang karamihan. ‘Yung mga artista kapag nage-guest sa Gandang Gabi Vice bumabalik sila sa pagiging tao. Si Gerald (Anderson) umuutot din pala. Si Piolo (Pascual) naghihintay din pala ng sale. ‘Yung mga lumalabas sa bibig nating mga normal na tao sinasabi rin ng mga artista. So lumalapit ang mga artista sa mga tao.”


Vice rose to fame as the comedian with a quick wit and sharp tongue. He said he acknowledges that there might be times that someone would get offended by his jokes. That’s why in GGV, he had told the writers to talk to the guests first before the show starts. “Aware ako na posible akong makasakit pero hindi ko naman gusto. ‘Yung mga guest naman alam nila na kapag tumuntong sila sa show e puro harutan lang. Open sila sa kahit ano. Sinasabi ko na agad sa staff na kapag kumukuha ng guest ilatag agad ‘yung mga gagawin para walang biglaan. Gustung-gusto ng mga guest ‘yung harutan. Kaya nga ‘yung mga artista kapag nage-guest hindi sila nangangawit. Kung ano ang gusto natin gawin natin.”

From being a stand up comic/performer in comedy bars, Vice got his big showbiz break when he was chosen to be a part of the morning talent program Showtime. He said he considers Showtime as the beginning of all the success he is now getting, that’s why no matter what, he will never leave the program. Vice had also become one of the most in demand artists among concert producers. With numerous TV shows and concerts, are there times that he would worry about being overexposed?

“Hindi rin naman hahayaan ng ABS-CBN na ma-over expose ako at maubos ang talent ko, na mananawa ang mga tao at mawawala na lang ako bigla. Ako, ang manager kong si Ogie Diaz, at ang ABS-CBN, we all work hand in hand para mapangalagaan din ang trabaho ko. Habol rin namin ‘yung longevity ko. So far nasa tamang posisyon pa naman ang mga trabaho ko. Tsaka ang saya, ang tawa naman hindi kasasawaan ng tao ‘yun. Lalo na sa panahon ngayon hahanap hanapin nila ang pagtawa.

If there’s one thing he feels worried about is that the numerous blessings he is getting might come with a price. Vice confessed, “Ito na nga siguro ‘yung panahon ko na matagal kong hinintay. Kaya noong naiinip ako buti na lang hindi ako sumuko kasi nung ibinigay naman ni Lord, sabay sabay na. Minsan nga pakiramdam ko nakakatakot na kasi lahat na ibinibigay ni Lord. Baka kukunin na niya ako. Joke! Nakaka-praning din. Pero itong mga blessings na sunud-sunod tingin ko hindi naman ito para talaga sa akin. Instrumento lang ako ng Diyos pero ipamimigay ko sa ibang tao.

UKG marks 4th year with 'magic'

The hosts of ABS-CBN's "Umagang Kay Ganda" (UKG) once again touched the hearts of its viewers as they celebrated the morning show's 4th year anniversary on Friday.

UKG hosts presented special numbers in a "talent show" dubbed "UKG Got Talent."

The hosts grouped themselves into two and competed in the "talent show". The grand winner will give their chosen foundation a computer set, while the second placer will give their chosen beneficiary a DVD player.

Sam to audition in Hollywood?

Actor Sam Milby denied a report saying that he will go to the United States to audition to get into Hollywood.
In an interview with "Showbiz News Ngayon", Milby stressed there is no truth to the said report.

"Wala, wala pang audition. I think any actors' dream talaga is to work in the States, in Hollywood," Milby said.

Before flying to the US on Wednesday morning, Milby said he will go abroad for the international premiere of his movie "Forever and a Day" with KC Concepcion.
The new love team will be at Tribeca Performing Arts Theater in New York City on June 25 for the international screening of their movie.

It is Milby's first time to attend an international screening of his movie.

"It's my first international screening for any of my movies talaga, so excited talaga ako. Sana same to what's been happening here ay matanggap din [ito] ng mga manonood natin doon sa New York," he said.
The actor said it would also be the first time for his mother to watch his film in a US theater.

"My mom is gonna be there. It's the first time she will watch a movie of mine in the theater," he added. -via ABS-CBNNews.com

ADVOCACY-SERYENG BUDOY, KASADO NA!


Ngayong Hulyo, magsasama-sama ang pinaka-malalaking pangalan sa industriya para sa isa sa pinaka-malaking teleserye ng taon, ang BUDOY.

Matapos ang matagal na pagkawala sa bakuran ng ABS-CBN, ngayon nagbabalik na sila: Ms. Janice de Belen at Mr. Tirso Cruz III para sa isa na namang mapanghamong papel na kanilang gagampanan sa serye. 

Mula sa matagumpay na pagtatapos ng Ina ng Pinoy Teleserye, Mara Clara, muling magpapakita ng husay sa pagganap si Ms. Mylene Dizon. 

Divine s'ya hindi lang sa pagkanta gayundin sa pag-arte. Abangan si Ms. Zsa Zsa Padilla sa kanyang pagbabalik teleserye matapos ang teleseryeng IDOL.  

At sa unang pagkakataon, magtatambal ang dalawa sa tinitingalang bituin ng bagong henerasyon. Action Drama Prince, Gerald Anderson at ang Dream Girl ng Bayan, Jessy Mendiola..

Samantala, wala namang pagsidlan ng kaligayahan ang mga bituin ng nasabing serye.

"I am at a loss for words. Overwhelmed ako sa kuwento, sa casting. Mayroon pa akong bagong leading lady. Kasama ko sina Ms. Zsa Zsa, Mylene. Sobrang excited kaming mag-start," ika ni Gege..

Ayon naman kay Jessy Mendiola, "Hindi lang balik prime time ako, pero sobrang bigatin pa. Mga beteranong aktor at sikat [ang kasama ko]. Sana magustuhan ng mga tao ang tambalan namin ni Gerald at mabigyan namin ng justice ang bawat character."

ABANGAN ang ADVOCACY-SERYE na babago sa mukha ng telebisyon. BUDOY, ngayong Hulyo na sa Primetime Bida. INUULIT KO, PRIMETIME BIDA! :)
