GMA-7′s newest danserye Time of My Life stars Jean Garcia, Cherrie Gil, Rocco Nacino, Mark Herras and Kris Bernal is now airing at prime time television.

I have nothing against Kris Bernal but I think Glaiza de Castro will suit the role perfectly. I saw her danced at Party Pilipinas and I thought she was one of the Sex Bomb Girls. Aside from being a good dancer, she is also a well crafted young actress.

Just saying out loud. :)

Pia Guanio, Eat Bulaga and 24 Oras host, finally answered the speculations that she is about to get married!

Earlier this night, on 24 Oras, Pia Guanio’s co-hosts dared to ask her if she’s already engaged and Pia said yes! Engagement happened just this Saturday, according to Pia.

It may be a whirl wind romance, as everyone knows, Pia was in a relationship with Eat Bulaga co-host and famous comedian-actor Vic Sotto for five years. They broke up just few months ago. Gossip has it that Vic and Pia were about to marry but Pia doesn’t want to have a child yet – the reason why their relationship went sour.

Pia did not disclose the name of her non-showbiz boyfriend on National TV but it is already circulated in the net that the lucky guy’s name is Steve Mago, a businessman.

Tonight, May 10, 2011, Justin Bieber will have his concert in the Philippines to be held at Mall of Asia.

Justin Bieber was supposed to make a brief appearance during Usher’s concert in the Philippines last July 2010 but his fans were disappointed when Bieber didn’t show up.

SMART Inc. produced the said concert wherein, 25, 000 Beliebers will be expected to watch their idol tonight.

Taiwanese actress and singer, Barbie Hsu or popularly known as Shan Chai of the hit series Meteor Garden is already engaged to Wang Xiao Fei, son of a wealthy Chinese businesswoman. Hsu is 34 years old, while Wang is 29.

The two met at the fellow actress Ady An’s birthday bash in Beijing held last September 2010. The ‘whirlwind romance’ got the media frenzy especially when announced that on February, a wedding banquet will be held in Taiwan and China.

Hsu has a publicize past relationship with Vic Zhou (Hua Zi Lei of Meteor Garden), which lasted for 3 years.

Shalani Soledad is the newest Kapatid as she joins TV5′s Willing Willie. The most awaited co-host of Willie Revillame was finally revealed today.

Totally unexpected of, a media-shy person was convinced to appear before a live variety show. I just realized, her beauty is a combination of Sunshine Cruz and Cristine Reyes. But many are wondering, with her soft spoken tongue and calmness, will not she be boring to watch for?

The John Lloyd Cruz-Shaina Magdayao malicious issue started as a blind item in a tabloid until recently, their names were dropped. The two were allegedly caught in a very rare medical condition involving a sex act. They were rushed allegedly to St. Luke’s to “unlock” them.

However, Star Magic issued an official statement denying the rumor that is selling like a pancake now. If it’s true, how did the two were able to go to the hospital? If they’d indeed seen them, where are the proofs, like pictures or video? On the contrary, if it’s not true, what is the reason why John Lloyd and Shaina were chosen to be in this nasty issue? Why the rumor came from inside the hospital premises?

Whatever the truth is, one thing’s for sure, this issue will mark a long time in the showbiz industry.

Pilipinas Got Talent Grand Winner Jovit Baldovino is being compared to Journey’s front man, Arnel Pineda.

Many were amazed by Jovit’s harsh and round voice especially when he sung Faithfully, Journey’s trademark song, during his audition. He admires Arnel Pineda and Journey so he sings their songs and uploaded them on YouTube, thus he became the newest YouTube sensation.

On the other hand, Arnel Pineda is also Filipino’s pride when he was discovered via YouTube and became Journey’s lead vocalist.

What if these two great singers will have a showdown? Jovit cannot reach high notes unlike Arnel Pineda. But Arnel Pineda’s words are sometimes inaudible. Will the super rookie Jovit Baldovino beats world-class singer Arnel Pineda? Hope they’ll have a singing showdown even just in ASAP XV.

Batangas’ pride, Jovit Baldovino, is the first Grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent . Pilipinas Got Talent is Philippine’s franchise from the producer of Britain’s Got Talent.

The other two top finalists were the Velasco brothers and Baguio Metamorphosis. Velasco brothers deserve to be in the top 3 but I don’t think Baguio Meta is. In my point of view, Jeline, the 12 year old wonder child who plays a lot of musical instruments should be part of the top 3 instead.

Somehow, Jovit Baldovino is worthy of the title to be the first Pilipinas Got Talent winner.

Momay, an upcoming “multo-serye” of ABS-CBN will feature child wonder, Xyriel Anne Manabat or most famously known as the little Agua Bendita. Just like Zaljian Jaramilla, Xyriel became a Primetime sensation on Television due to her brilliant acting in Agua Bendita. Her 2 weeks stint was extended to a month and finally, ABS decided to give her a lead show.

Momay is a story of a young girl (played by Xyriel) whose life is full of love by her family, especially by her little brother and Mom (played by Lorna Tolentino). Until an accident changed their lives forever – Momay died. How Momay died and how she still “lives on with her life” is an exciting story to watch for.

Wowowee’s main host Willie Revillame threatens to resign from Wowowee if ABS-CBN Management will not fire The Buzz’ segment host, Jobert Sucaldito. On yesterday’s live show of Wowowee, Willie expressed his anger by saying: “Tinitira ako sa diyaryo ng Jobert na ‘yan. Tahimik lang ako. Pero tandaan ninyo ito, kapag hindi ninyo ‘yan tinanggal, ako ang magre-resign dito!”

Jobert Sucaldito’s opinion on his radio program, Showbiz Mismo was what irked the controversial Wowowee host. Jobert opined that a particular game segment of Wowowee featuring high school students with grade average of 75-79 weren’t supposed to be joked upon on national television. This remark was taken negatively by the arrogant host.
