Shout Out Will Not Replace Pilipinas Win na Win!

The Kapamilya network disproved speculations that a new teen variety show will take the place of "Pilipinas Win na Win" in ABS-CBN's noontime lineup. Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications department, told Bulletin Entertainment via a text message sent last Nov. 19: "There is no truth to the rumors and media reports that 'Pilipinas Win na Win' will soon be replaced by 'Shoutout,' a youth-oriented show which starts on Nov. 29. 'Shoutout' replaces 'Kapamilya Blockbusters'." "Win na Win" has been beset with a typhoon of intrigues since its launch last July 31 as replacement show of "Wowowee": These include the long-running absence of hosts and now-husband and wife Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez, controversial TV host-actress Kris Aquino's exit from the show, the alleged poor ratings and the host lineup changes. The latest set of hosts on the show is comprised by The Hitmakers - Rico J. Puno, Nonoy Zuñiga, Rey Valera and Marco Sison - comediennes Pokwang and K Brosas, and Valerie Concepcion. Janelle Jamer, another previous host of "Wowowee," and Gee Canlas, who is part of "Music Uplate Live," joined The Hitmakers as co-hosts. However, they ended their stint last Nov. 12. The ABS-CBN Corporate Communications department said in a previous statement that the two were "guest hosts." "Ang sabi talaga sa amin was one week lang kami. For trial lang talaga kami. Pero dahil naging okay 'yung ratings, feeling ko they decided to keep us. Para sa amin, kahit sandali lang, malaking privilege na maging part ng 'Win na Win'. The other good things will just start from there," Canlas said in an interview with ABS-CBN's Push. Meanwhile, "Shoutout" will be headlined by Star Magic artists Enchong Dee, Erich Gonzales, Empress, Sam Concepcion, Robi Domingo, Arron Villaflor, and Enrique Gil. They will also be joined by other budding Kapamilya teen and tween stars.

Ai-Ai delas Alas Give Thanks for her 20 Years in Showbiz

Isang misa ang inialay ni Ai-Ai delas Alas kahapon, November 20, bilang pasasalamat sa lahat ng biyayang kanyang natanggap sa loob ng 20 years na pamamalagi sa show business.

Ang thanksgiving mass ay ginanap sa Social Hall Clubhouse ng Ayala Hillside Estates sa Quezon City.

Dumalo sa pagtitipon ang ilang malapit na kaibigan ng magaling na komedyana sa showbiz katulad nila Bayani Agbayani, Joy Viado, Nova Villa, at Erik Santos.

Present din ang mga kamag-anak ni Ai-Ai at non-showbiz friends, sa pangunguna ng mga dating kaklase sa Far Eastern University.

Dahil maaga ang okasyon at dulot na rin ng biglaang pag-ulan ay bumigat ang traffic sa Quezon City area. Kaya tuloy marami ang nahuli ng pagdating.

Alas-dos dapat magsisimula ang misa ngunit minabutng hintayin muna ang ilan pang bisita dahil kokonti pa lang ang laman ng venue during the time.

Nagbigay muna ng short talk ang sikat na preacher at self-help book author na si Bo Sanchez bago ganapin ang actual mass. Tinalakay ni Sanchez ang pagiging matatag sa gitna ng mga problemang kinakaharap sa buhay.

At dahil 20 years na siya sa showbiz ay benteng pari rin ang inanyayahan ni Ai-Ai para makilahok sa misa.

Labing siyam nga lang ang dumating dahil naipit sa traffic ang isang pari at matatagalan pa bago ito makakarating sa subdivision kaya napagkasunduan na ituloy na ang seremonyas.

Masaya ang naging takbo ng misa dahil kuwela si Fr. Erick Santos, na siyang nagbigay ng homily. Sumusundot-sundot kasi ng jokes si Fr. Santos sa gitna ng kanyang sermon na ikinatuwa naman ng lahat.

Sa panayam ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Ai-Ai matapos ang misa ay inamin nito na hindi niya inakala na magiging mahaba ang takbo ng kanyang showbiz career, kaya labis labis daw ang kanyang pasasalamat sa Diyos.

Incidentally, nagdiwang din si Ai-Ai ng kanyang ika-46th birthday nito lang November 11.

Meron ba siyang partikular na birthday at showbiz anniversary wish?

"Wala na. Sabi nga ni Father sa homily niya 'God is enough.' Marami na 'kong masyadong blessing.

"Sana na lang, good health sa mga anak ko at walang magkakasakit, and 'yong buong Pilipinas is maging maayos."

Hindi madali para kay Ai-Ai ang pumili ng sa tingin niya ay pinakamalaking achievement niya bilang artista.

Pero mangunguna daw siguro sa listahan ang mga comedy concerts na nagawa niya in the past at ang pelikulang Ang Tanging Ina.

Itong darating na 36th Metro Manila Film Festival ay kalahok ang pelikula ni Ai-Ai, na may pamagat na Ang Tanging Ina Mo Rin (Last Na To!).

Ito na bale ang magsisilbing wakas ng highly successful Ang Tanging Ina Mo movie franchise ng Star Cinema.

Taong 2003 nang unang pumatok sa sinehan ang pelikula at nasundan ito ng sequel noong 2008 sa pamamagitan ng Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat.

Bagama't nalulungkot si Ai-Ai sa pagtatapos ng proyektong kanyang pinagbibidahan, sinabi nito na mainam na rin na magkaroon na ng "closure" ang pelikula kesa hintayin pa na pagsawaan ito ng publiko.

"Maganda 'yong habang nasa peak pa 'yong Ang Tanging Ina, may maganda siyang exit," katwiran ni Ai-Ai.

Nagpapasalamat din si Ai-Ai sa mga patuloy na naniniwala sa kanyang kakayahan bilang aktres.

Sa kabila kasi ng pagsikat ng maraming komedyanteng galing sa mga comedy bars at maging sa YouTube, itinuturing pa rin bilang Queen of Comedy si Ai-Ai.

"Bigay lang naman 'yang mga titulo—bigay lang 'yan ng mga tao. Pero, siyempre, kung ano 'yong binigay sa 'yo dapat ingatan mo. Tsaka ako, iniingatan ko pa rin 'yan dahil pinaghirapan ko din 'yon," nakangiting sambit ni Ai-Ai.

Hottie John Lloyd Cruz on My Amnesia Girl!

Have you ever seen John Lloyd Cruz naked, or even half-naked in a film or even on some beach?

Unlike Piolo Pascual, Diether Ocampo, or Jericho Rosales who often pose half-naked in pictorials and billboard ads, JLC maintains a conservative, prim and proper image in keeping with his reputation as a schoolboy star of romantic comedies. Not that stars of romantic comedies don't take off their clothes every now and then, even when they shower.

The reigning box office star offers moviegoers a full, if also funny, view of his chest, abdomen and nothing more, in a scene with Toni Gonzaga in Star Cinema's pre-MMFF presentation, ''My Amnesia Girl.'' The two play ex-lovers who are reunited but are facing a migraine-inducing problem. Toni's character has developed selective amnesia.

In doing a half-naked scene with Toni inside a car, John Lloyd admitted to having felt squeamish in the beginning, like a virginal teen star out on her first day shoot of an adult film.

''It was the first time I was shooting a scene with a girl where I was half-naked,'' the actor shared during a recent media event. He didn't blush throughout the scene, however.

Not one to flaunt his body to claim a sex symbol image, John Lloyd clears, from the very start of his packaging, that he's no hunk. He's got thin legs, not so broad shoulders, and he's lazy where hitting the gym is concerned.

It didn't help that in such a sequence, the scene called for Toni's amnesiac character to kiss and sniff, like a trained, suspecting canine, his exposed body. He was tickled pink. • • • HOT CHARACTER: Cathy Garcia-Molina, ''My Amnesia Girl'' director, says that for the first time, his signature actor (she admits he's her favorite, take it or leave it) is playing a real hottie in a film.

Toni herself warms up for the first time. On engaging JLC in a brief kiss, the actress said, ''It's about time.'' Like John Lloyd, Toni maintains a 1950s screen image, a few points short of that era's no kiss, no touch policy.

''John Lloyd sure knows how to bring out the best in his co-actor,'' gushes Toni, whose protracted movie with Robin Padilla was sideswiped by the actor's romantic involvement with Mariel Rodriguez.

In several interviews, Toni has said she has forgotten that episode and has moved on beautifully with John Lloyd by her side. She echoed a line from ''Amnesia Girl:'' ''Thank you, Lord. I was merely praying for pan de sal, but you gave me a hamburger complete with fries.''

Heated Confrontation Between Jake Cuenca and Jason Abalos

Jake Cuenca admitted Sunday that he and fellow actor Jason Abalos were involved in a heated argument Saturday night in Davao.

He denied, however, that they got into a fistfight.

Cuenca made the admission in a statement sent to “The Buzz” Sunday in an apparent effort to dispute circulating text messages about the supposed brawl involving the 2 Kapamilya actors.

Some even speculated that the feud could be connected to actress Melissa Ricks. Both Cuenca and Abalos were romantically linked to Ricks.

According to the statement read on-air by “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda, Cuenca and Abalos began to raise their voices at each other while discussing about a touchy subject.

He clarified though that the argument never turned violent.

“I would like to clarify that no one was harmed. Wala pong nagsapakan. Nagkataasan lang kami ng boses dahil medyo emotional ang pinag-uusapan namin,” Cuenca said.

He added: “Everything is better now. Nagkaayos na po kami ni Jason as early as last night. We patched things up already and we talked again this morning.”

He apologized to Abalos for being “confrontational last night. And I acknowledged I was wrong and I am taking full responsibility.”

He also thanked Coco Martin for pacifying them and convincing them to fix things up.

Ai-Ai delas Alas Proves her Title Comedy Concert Queen in Akin Ang Tronong Ito Concert

Talagang pinatunayan ni Ai-Ai delas Alas na siya ang nag-iisang Comedy Concert Queen sa bansa.

Dinaos sa Araneta Coliseum noong Biyernes, Nobyembre 19, ang kanyang 2oth anniversary concert na pinamagatang Akin ang Tronong 'To, Hoy, Hari at Reyna ng Showbiz ang mga Guests ko!

Halos mapuno ang Araneta Coliseum sa dami ng mga fans na dumalo sa concert ni Ai-Ai. Nakita sa audience ang mga artista at kaibigan niya, katulad nina John "Sweet" Lapus, Eugene Domingo, Direk Wenn Deramas at DJ Durano.

Magkatabi naman sa upuan sina Aga Muhlach at ang kanyang kabiyak na si Charlene Gonzalez. Nandun din ang idol na idol ni Ai-Ai, ang Star for All Seasons at Batangas Governor, Vilma Santos.

Nanood rin sa naturang concert ang mga ABS-CBN executives na sina Charo Santos-Concio, Cory Vidanes, Linggit Tan, Malou Santos ng Star Cinema, Mr. Johnny Manahan at Mariole Alberto ng Star Magic.

Sa simula pa lang ng concert, naghihiyawahan na ang mga fans paglabas ng Comedy Concert Queen suot ang kanyang puting kapa na may pagkalaki-laking cross na nakasabit sa kanyang leeg.

Lalong lumakas ang tilian nang buksan ni Ai-Ai ang kanyang kapa at kita ang kanyang mala-tanggang suot. Aniya, "O, sample pa lang 'yan ha! Mamaya ko na ipakikita yung iba," sabay tawa.

Kitang-kita ang energy ni Ai-Ai sa kanyang opening number na "Do You Believe" kasama ang G-Force.

Tatlong beses siya nagpalit ng damit para lang sa kanyang opening number, kunsaan kinanta niya ang mga Lady Gaga songs, kasama ang sikat na sikat na "Bad Romance."

Nagpalit ng magagandang damit si Ai-Ai sa gilid ng stage na may tabing, pero patuloy ang kanyang pagsasalita at pagpapatawa para maaliw ang audience.

Nagulat ang lahat nang lumabas si Ai-Ai na suot ang mala-reynang damit niya at may korona pa.

Tinawag niya ang mga lalaking dala-dala ang kanyang trono, sabay sambit ng, "Halika kayo mga alagad ko, dalian, pag di n'yo dinalian sige, ibubuko kong malalaki ang inyong katawan pero maliit ang inyong bird."

Inikot ang komedyana sa buong patron area ng Araneta Coliseum habang pinakanta ang mga piling bisita sa kanyang segment na tinawag na "Sing-Along time with Ai-Ai."

At siyempre, hindi nakaligtas ang mga sikat na artista na dumalo sa gabing iyon. Una niyang nilapitan si Aga Muhlach para pakantahin.

Isinunod si Eugene Domingo, na pabirong sinabunutan pa ni Ai-Ai sabay sabi ng, "Kunwari ka pang aayaw-ayaw, kakanta ka rin naman pala."

Nilagpasan niya si Direk Wenn, ngunit binigay niya ang mikropono kay DJ Durano na bigay na bigay naman sa pagkanta.

Tilian ang lahat nang lapitan ni Ai-Ai ang kanyang idol na si Ate Vi. Sabi pa ng Star for All Seasons, "Pwede bang ikaw na lang kumanta at sasayaw na lang ako?"

Siyempre kumanta si Ai-Ai at sumayaw ni Ate Vi, ngunit noong bandang huli, napakanta rin niya nang kaunti si Ate Vi, na kinatuwa ng mga fans.

Niyakap at hinalikan ni Ate Vi si Ai matapos ang kanta, na siyang dahilan kung bakit napaluha ang komedyana.

Sa bawat gap ng programa ay napapakita sa video ang mga kaibigang artista ni Ai-Ai, na nagsasalita tungkol sa komedyana.

Kasama rin sa pinakita ang 12 Steps at Sikreto daw ni Ai-Ai sa pagiging successful artist.

Kasama sa mga nagsalita sina Arnel Ignacio, Allan K, Tessie Tomas, K Brosas, Pokwang, Jayson Gaiza, Pooh, Vice Ganda, Ariel Ureta, at, siyempre, ang kanyang ama-amahan at manager na si Boy Abunda.

Talagang kakaiba ang concert na ito dahil napakanta ni Ai-Ai ang The CompanY nang kwela at double-meaning na mga kanta, tulad ng "Ibaon "at "Banana," na may matching dance number pa na hawak ang plastic na saging.

Nagpasalamat si Ai-Ai sa mga kaibigan niyang bakla, pero para maiba naman daw ay pasasalamatan din niya ang mga "bumble bee" o mga tomboy.

Pinataas niya ng kamay ang mga tomboy sa audience at tinawag niya ang mga ito sa stage, ngunit iisa lang ang lumapit at naglakas loob na pumunta upang makipagkantahan at makipaglokohan kay Ai-Ai.

Tilian ang mga tao nang lumabas si Regine Velasquez suot ang puting gown.

Sambit ni Ai-Ai, "Wow naman, Ate, puting-puti ang suot mo. Handang-handa ka na talaga sa iyong kasal, ah. Sigurado ka na ba? Pag-isipan mo muna 'te."

Tawa nang tawa ang audience nang lokohin ni Ai-Ai si Regine na kaya niya lang pakakasalan ni Ogie Alcasid ay dahil "malaki" daw ba? Siyempre, di mapigil ang tawa ni Regine.

Bumanat ulit ang Comedy Concert Queen ng biro kay Regine... Di ba daw siya naiilang na pag kasal na sila ni Ogie, e, pag-introduce sa kanya, "Ladies and Gentlemen, let's welcome the Song Bird and the Big Bird, tapos ganito ang lakad ni Ogie." (Naglakad si Ai nang pasakang.)

Siyempre pa, nag-duet ang dalawang singers. Nagpaunlak ng medley tungkol sa nalalapit na kasal ni Regine at Ogie. Sinimulan ni Ai ng kantang "Ikakasal Ka Na," na sinundan ni Regine ng "Please Be Careful with My Heart" at "It Might Be You."

Binanatan naman ni Ai ng "Too Much Love Will Kill You" at sinagot ni Regine ng "What About Love."

Sigawan ang tao nang kantahin ni Ai-Ai ang medley ng "Paalam na Aking Mahal."

Ang sabi ni Regine, "Huwag naman sana, di pa nga kami 'kinakasal, paalam na agad."

Binanatan naman ni Ai ng "I Let You Go" at "Napakasakit Kuya Eddie."

Tinapos ni Regine ang duet nila ni Ai-Ai ng "I Will Survive."

Namangha at palakpakan ang audience sa taas ng boses ng Asia's Songbird nang kantahin niya ang "I Know Him So Well"—na inalay niya kay Ogie.

Matapos kumanta ni Regine, in-introduce niya sa video screen si Boy Abunda.

Nagsalita si Tito Boy, ang tawag sa host and talent manager, tungkol sa kanyang anak-anakan, habang ipinakikita ang mga nakaraang concert ni Ai-Ai sa Folk Arts Theater at Araneta Coliseum.

At si Tito Boy na rin ang nag-introduce kay Ai-Ai bago ang kaniyang mala-circus na special dance number, kasama ang G-Force uli, sa tugtog na "Fashionista."

Sumunod ang duet ni Christopher De Leon at Ai na "Total Eclipse of the Heart," "Wild Wild," "Love Hurts," at "Faithfully."

Nagulat ang lahat sa ending ng kanilang duet ni Boyet pagkat nagpasabog ng "fire fountain" si Ai-Ai mula sa kanyang boobs.

Iba talaga itong concert na 'to kasi pati costume ng komedyana ay may special effects pa, ika nga ng ilang reporters na nanood.

Isa sa mga inaabangan ng lahat ay ang number ni Ai-Ai kasama ang kanyang tatlong anak na sina Sancho, Niccolo and Sophia.

Unang nagsalita ang panganay na si Sancho: "Salamat po at sinusuportan n'yo po ang nanay ko kahit gan'yan po siya."

Humirit naman si Niccolo: "Nagpapasalamat po ako dahil nagpapaloko po kayo sa nanay ko."

Sambit naman ni Sophia, ang nag-iisang anak na babae: "Nagpapasalamat po ako dahil hindi ko po siya naging kamukha."

Hiyawan ang mga tao sa mga hirit ng mga bata!

Biro ng komedyana sa kanyang mga anak sa ex-husband na si Miguel Vera: "Gusto niyo, ibalik ko kayong tatlo sa uterus ko! Buti na lang malalaki na kayo at di na kayo kasya sa uterus ko."

Halatang nahihiya ang tatlong anak ni Ai-Ai habang sumasayaw at kumakanta ang kanilang ina, lalong-lalo na ang pangalawang anak nito na si Niccolo na hindi masyadong sumasabay sa kanta at sayaw.

Halata namang mana sa ina si Sophia dahil talagang nakikipag-sabayan ito sa kanyang ina sa pagkanta at pagsayaw ng "Billie Jean."

Nagtilian ang audience nang lumabas ang sikat na international singer na si Lea Salonga. Di rin nakaligtas ni Lea sa mga biro ni Ai-Ai.

Bakit daw mas maraming pumapalakpak na mayayaman kay Lea. Kay Ai-Ai daw, puro mga nasa General Admission lang yung pumapalakpak.

Siyempre, kitang-kita rin ang kasayahan ni Lea sa pagpapatawa ni Ai-Ai. Nag-duet ang dalawa ng mga kakaibang OPM songs tulad ng "Magkayakap sa Dilim," "Isang Linggong Pag-ibig," "Nananabik," "Tukso Layuan mo Ako," at "Bakit ako Mahihiya?"

Supposed to be, walang solo number si Lea pero patuloy na nagsigawan ang audience ng "More! More!" Hindi nakatanggi si Lea, kaya kahit hindi siya handa, pinagbigyan ng international singer ang audience.

Nang tanungin ni Ai-Ai kung anong song ang gusto nilang kantahin ni Lea, sumigaw ang mga tao ng "Sana Maulit Muli."

Sagot naman ni Lea, "And'yan ba yung favorite na ka-loveteam ko sa movie na si Aga Muhlach?"

Tinuro ni Ai-Ai sa audience si Aga, kung kaya't kinilig ang lahat.

Nang matapos ang kanta, humihirit pa rin ang audience, kung kaya't lumapit si Ai-Ai sa ABS-CBN president na si Ma'am Charo at humingi ng suggestion ng kung ano ang kakantahin ni Lea.

Ang naging mungkahi niya ay "Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal?," at siyempre pinagbigyan ng international singer ang hiling ni Ma'am Charo.

Hindi rin nawala sa gabing iyon ang nag-iisang BFF (Best Friends Forever) ni Ai-Ai na si Sharon Cuneta.

Nag-duet ang Concert Comedy Queen at ang Megastar ng kantang "Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko" at "Sana'y Wala nang Wakas."

Kinanta rin ni Sharon nang solo ang "Ikaw" habang nagpapahinga at nakaupo sa isang tabi si Ai-Ai.

Para sa finale ng Akin ang Tronong 'To, kinanta ng Comedy Concert Queen ang "Tatanda at Lilipas Din Ako."

Suot ang napakagandang gown, kinanta ng komedyana ang "Holy Night" bilang handog niya ngayong Pasko para sa mga taong sumusoporta sa kanya.

Akala ng mga manonood ay matatapos na ang programa. Pero nagtanong si Ai-Ai: "Do you want more?" Sagot ng audience: "More! More!"

Biglang hinubad ni Ai-Ai ang pang-ibabang bahagi ng gown niya at natira ang mistulang tangga!

Para sa kanyang finale, kinanta at sinayaw ng Concert Comedy Queen ang K-pop song na "Nobody Nobody But You."

Iya Villania, Certified Kapamilya!

"It feels so good, it’s so nice to know… I’m just so very grateful that ABS-CBN still wants me to stay despite their large pool of such talented artists. It’s just so nice to know that despite that, they can still use din pala an Iya,” Iya Villania revealed during her recent contract signing with ABS-CBN last November 18, just a week after she bid goodbye to fellow co-hosts on ASAP XV.

Iya’s previous contract with the TV network had expired and she supposedly had an offer to sign up with the rival network. “It was bit of a shock, medyo unbelievable kasi I’ve been with the station for six years and I knew it would take a lot of getting used to, but I was open to trying to get new things,” recalled Iya when asked how she felt about the idea of leaving the Kapamilya network. “I always try to be optimistic [and] look at the brighter side of things.”

Iya went on to say that she and boyfriend Drew Arellano, who is with the rival network, got to talking about her possible network switch to the point of discussing possible projects together. “You know the thought of transferring and working on the same network? It got the both of us really excited. It’s been six years since we last worked together under the same network,” she shared.

But this did not happen because Iya was then offered a new ABS-CBN contract. “There was a turn of events. He still thought of it as something that worked to my advantage. If it’s for the better, for me, dun na rin siya masaya. He would want the best for me.”

Iya shared that her contract is valid for three years and means she will retain her current shows: MYX, Us Girls, and ASAP. Aside from that, Iya said that her future projects include a soap opera, a reality show, and a show that will be under news and public affairs.
