'Rosalinda' pilot is a "ratings flop"

The one-hour pilot episode of Rosalinda on GMA Network last Monday, July 6, was a "ratings flop".

The pilot, which was so boring with mostly senior supporting (uninteresting) actors were shown (Glydel Mercado, Ariel Rivera, Carlos Morales and Sheryl Cruz), scooped a rating of less than 30% in both Mega Manila and Nationwide.

According to the figures released by AGB Nielsen Media Research for July 6, Rosalinda registered only a 26.3% rating in Mega Manila, despite having occupied a one-hour timeslot and pitted against two rival shows on ABS-CBN Channel 2, Only You and Tayong Dalawa, which were all winners in the ratings game.

Rosalinda's pilot rating is actually GMA's 4th highest pilot rating for a primetime series this 2009, but it is also its 4th lowest for the year:

1. Totoy Bato 36.7% (premired February 23, 2009)

35. Adik Sa 'Yo 25.4% June 8, 2009
36. All My Life 23.6% June 29, 2009

As you can see, Darna with Angel Locsin in the title role holds the highest pilot rating by a Kapuso primetime series in the past 5 years.

And for 2009 alone, GMA had four lowest-rating pilots ever: Rosalinda (32nd), All About Eve (33rd), Adik Sa 'Yo (35th) and All My Life (36th).

On a brighter side, the 26.3% ratings made by Rosalinda last Monday is still good considering that it is the first ever show of Carla Abellana, who plays Rosalinda.

'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' loaded with kissing scenes

It seems like the 6th "Harry Potter" movie is targeting the teen audience more than the kiddies.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which opens in the US this July 15 (July 16 in the Philippines), has lots of kissing scenes involving the three main actors.

Harry Potter himself Daniel Radcliffe has a kissing scene with Bonnie Wright who plays Ginny, younger sister of Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint).

It was actually a second kiss for Harry Potter, but already a third on-screen kiss for Daniel Radcliffe.

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry got to kiss Cho Chang (Katie Leung) while Radcliffe's 1st on-screen kiss was in the movie December Boys.

Ron on one hand also has his own kissing scene in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with the lovely Hermione (played by Emma Watson).

In one interview, Emma confessed it was an awkward thing for her to do the kissing scene.

“It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever had to do. There are millions of girls out there who would probably chop their left arm off to kiss, but it just felt like incest. That’s the only way I can describe it," she said.

Rupert also felt the same thing.

“It’s not something I’d say I’m dreading. Emma’s a pretty girl. As for who has the worst crush on her - me or Radcliffe - I’d rather not say...We’ve known each other for 10 years so it was a bit like kissing my sister,” he confessed.

But the kissing scenes though are still wholesome, and considered safer than the violence, scary images and mild sensuality the movie has.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince got a PG rating, meaning some scenes may not be suitable for children but it's up to the parents to decide whether or not they would allow their kids to watch the film.

See you in theaters tom peeps!!!

Ram Ace Bautista, Mr. Globe Philippines 2009

Ram Ace Bautista from Cavite is just one of the three winners in the Mr. Globe Philippines 2009 pageant held Saturday, July 4, at The Pearl Manila Hotel.

Yes, there were three winners for the title, because there was a "very unusual" tie for the 1st place.

The other two Mr. Globe Philippines 2009 winners were Donald Sanchez Bahi-an from Zamboanga del Sur and Nicolas Philip 'Nicos' Bacani from Antipolo City (photos below):

It's most likely they're handpicked for the title, because a "tie", much more a "triple tie" for the top prize is not advisable especially for a pageant.

Check out more "online" photos of Ram Ace Bautista, one of the three Mr. Globe Philippines 2009 titleholders...

Miss Singapore 2009 Rachel Kum photo scandal

Miss Singapore 2009 Rachel Kum has become the subject of a series of scandalous photos circulating on the net recently.

The photos show Rachel's wacky, naughty side and must have been shot before she was crowned Miss Singapore Universe 2009.

Here are two of those scandal photos...where Rachel is shown blowing a candle and making fun of a mannequin or a doll...



***

Rachel Klum was crowned Miss Singapore Universe 2009 last May.

In the said local pageant, she was also adjudged as Rotary Ambassador, Miss Body Beautiful and Miss Personality.

And as the new Miss Singapore Universe, Rachel will represent Singapore in the Miss Universe 2009 pageant to be held this August in Nassau, Bahamas.

In preparation for the pageant, Rachel has already been doing training, toning up and working out at the gym.

For now, in connection with her racy photos online, there's an online petition going on asking Miss Singapore organization to dethrone her.

According to the petitioner, Rachel Kum does not deserve the crown of Miss Singapore Universe 2009 and considers her scandal pictures as degrading.

Zac Efron has shaved his head, how true?

News have broken out that High School Musical star Zac Efron has shaved his head last July 2.

I couldn't imagine cutie Zac Efron, who is a style icon for teens, having a shaved head.

Last February, Zac Efron already told OK! Magazine that he would shave his head so he could travel unnoticed by the paparazzi:

"I'd love to take a year off and travel the world under the radar. I would love to do it really low-key..."

"...I wouldn't need to stay in fancy hotels or anything. I just want to explore, but I don't know how I'd do it. Maybe I'd shave my head to try and go incognito? Yeah, that's what I'd do," Zac said.

And now, reports as of this moment say that the time has come, Zac Efron already shaved his head and now totally bald.

I hope this is just a false alarm 'coz I'm not yet ready to see him having a shaved head.

Well, it's most likely to be...as Zac Efron just had a new haircut and not totall a bald shaved head.

Zac is now sporting a new haircut, which is shorter from the usual.

On Flickr, I saw this photo, wherein Zac was spotted leaving a salon in Beverly Hills, LA:

Fresh-looking Raphael Galvez

Too bad that this cutie fave of mine did not win in the Circle of 10 Image Model Search held last Monday, June 29, at the Music Museum.







Raphael Remo Galvez is a champion swimmer from the University of Sto. Tomas.

He just graduated highschool from UST last March and is now taking up BS Mechanical Engineering still at UST.

He was Mr. UST 2008.

Raphael's classmates from UST would often descibe him as "athlete, gwapo, hot, artistahin and cute."

He's definitely a winner for me!

The 5 grand male winners for the 2009 Circle of 10 Image Model Search were Antonio
'Chuckie' Albert III, Sam Mison, Raf Montesines, Myko Ong and Avery Paraiso.

Maja Salvador covers "Meg" this July 2009

Maja Salvador takes the cover of Meg Magazine for July, 2009.



***

Maja is also the lead star in the Star Cinema film Villa Estrella which is now showing in theaters nationwide.

Initial reports say that Villa Estrella had a very low opening gross last Wednesday, as compared to the 4 previously released Star Cinema films this 2009.

It should at least end up in the Top 10 over-all in the Philippine Box Office for 2009, just like last year when all but one Star Cinema movies made it to the over-all Top 10.

Villa Estrella is currently being shown in only 50+ cinemas nationwide as compared to almost 200 screens for the Hollywood monster hit Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen.

I've watched Transformers 2 yesterday at one SM mall, and only one cinema is showing Villa Estrella, while the rest are all Transformers.

John Lloyd Cruz loves "hotdog"

It's so fun to see John Lloyd Cruz eating hotdog in his new TV commercial.

John Lloyd Cruz is the newest endorser of San Miguel's Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdog.

The said TVC of John Lloyd for Purefoods Hotdog has started airing just this week and it seems like John Lloyd, who is doing a Star Cinema film with a gay theme, enjoys eating a red, tender and juicy hotdog.

Here's a photo of John Lloyd signing a deal with San Miguel Corporation for the Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdog brand:



According to San Miguel, it is their birthday present for John Lloyd, who celebrated his birthday last June 24.

'LipGloss' boys show off butts to their director


(L-R) Niko Ibaviosa, Carlo Guevarra, Zyrus Desamparado and Kevin Lapeña


The boys from TV5's teen-oriented show LipGloss, namely Carlo Guevarra, Nico Ibaviosa, Kevin Lapena and Zyrus Desamparado, showed off their precious "behinds" to their director when they splashed at a beach in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.

It happened last Summer while the group was there to tape their show's summer episode in the said place.

The boys did not do it once, but twice to the delight of the show's director Crisaldo Pablo.

I first learned of it at Abante-Tonite yesterday and then I immediately searched for it on Youtube.

The Youtube video, uploaded last May 27, is entitled "lipgloss guys butt out in vigan" with this intriguing description:

kevin, zyrus, carlo, niko surprises their director and asks for a second glance, er, take, at their perfectly teen butts...

What is more intriguing is that, the video has been uploaded on Youtube by a certain crisaldopablo, the director himself.

Good thing though that the boys are already 18 years old and above. Or else....

Wapakman, with Filipino boxing champion Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao and partly Pinay Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls in the cast, is one of the 8 official entries in the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival Philippines.

Produced by Solar Entertainment Corporation, Wapakman is a comedy/sci-fi movie about an ordinary single dad (Pacquiao) who becomes a superhero. (Sounds like Pacquiao's real life story)

Also starring is Fil-Am wrestling star Dave Batista as the main villain.

I've already seen the preview of Wapakman when I watched Transformers Revenge of the Fallen yesterday. (It's being aired in-between exhibitions of the Transformers).

35th MMFF (2009) official entries revealed

The eight (8) official entries for the 34th Annual Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2009) have been revealed yesterday, July 3, by the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the organizer of the 2009 MMFF.

As expected, Vic Sotto, the undisputed King of MMFF, is up once again with a new entry entitled "Ang Darling Kong Aswang", his 8th consecutive MMFF entry.

And during the last 8 years, his movies could either finish as the topgrosser or the 2nd topgrosser.

The Eat Bulaga! host will also battle it out with Wowowee host Willie Revillame, who also has an entry this year, a movie with the Comedy King Dolphy.

After 5 years, Vic and ex-girlfriend Kris Aquino will be together once more in a festival.

Kris will star in Star Cinema's official entry "Ikaw Na Nga".

During the 2004 MMFF, Vic's movie "Enteng Kabisote" was the festival topgrosser while Kris' film "So Happy Together" was the 2nd highest.

Kris will not only be competing against "one" former boyfriend. Phillip Salvador, another ex-boyfriend of Kris, is in the cast of "Panday", which is also one of the official entries. (Truly exciting!)

As usual, three Regal Films entries are competing in the 2009 MMFF: "Nieves: The Engkanto Slayer", "Shake, Rattle & Roll XI" and "Mano Po 6: My Mother".

Marian Rivera can now be called as the Princess of MMFF. It's already her 3rd consecutive time to be part of the festival.

In 2007, Marian starred in the MMFF entries "Bahay Kubo" and "Desperadas", while in 2008, she was in "Shake, Rattle & Roll X" and "Desperadas 2".

Back in 2005, she was also part of the MMFF entry "Engteng Kabisote 2: Okay Ka Fairy Ko, The Legend Continues".

After "Crying Ladies" in 2003, Sharon Cuneta is back with her very first Regal movie "Mano Po 6".

Sen. Bong Revilla, the second "King of MMFF" next to Vic, is also joining the festival with "Ang Panday".

Revilla is doing an MMFF entry every after two years: Captain Barbell 2 (2003), Exodus (2005) and Resiklo (2007).

Now, John Lloyd Cruz and Ruffa Gutierrez could not fully hide the real score between them as photos of them together in L.A. recently begin to surface on the net.

First, a photo of a man and a woman checking in at a hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California was posted on Pinoy Parazzi. The couple, with their backs shown, were believed to be John Lloyd and Ruffa.



And now, another photo has come out which John Lloyd and Ruffa could not deny.

Isah V. Red had this photo on his July 1 column in Manila Standard:



Well, maybe John Lloyd and Ruffa were just out for a friendly date. There's actually no malice on the photos above.

Hayden Kho was molested during his childhood

A shocking confession by the controversial Dr. Hayden Kho Jr...

Hayden Kho Jr, who earlier figured into a controversies after his private videos with several women have leaked online, fearlessly admitted to CheChe Lazaro on her show Probe Profiles last Wednesday that he was molested by a stranger when he was 7-years-old.

Hayden didn't elaborate though whether the molester was a man or a woman.

But I think, it was a homosexual guy.

And if it was a man, why is it that Hayden Kho has enjoyed taking videos of his private moments with different women?

I could not connect the child molestation experienced by Hayden with his video collections, not unless there's a man-to-man video of Hayden hiding from the closet.

The child molestation that Hayden brought up to Probe Profiles is another Hayden's justification for having his own scandal collection.

During his past interviews, Hayden also admitted he was once a victim of a s-x video, when one of his past girlfriends took a video of himself without his consent.

Hayden said to CheChe that he doesn't believe his ex-gf Vicki Belo did all the uploads of his videos on the net.

“Hindi si Vicki ang nag-upload. Alam mo ito yung theory ko dun eh, yung nakakuha ng videos, hindi nila nilalabas yung kay Vicks dahil pag lumabas yung kay Vicks obviously hindi si Vicks yung naglabas, hindi si Vicky yung nagupload. Hahabulin sila.," he said.

Carla Abellana as Rosalinda hits primetime starting Monday, July 6

Carla Abellana was just a nameless model in the Jollibee Ice Craze TVC aired in 2006.

And now that Carla has been launched as GMA's next primetime star via Rosalinda, the barely recognizable model in the said TV commercial recently turned into a promising actress now worthy of attention.

Reminisce Carla's moments in the Jollibee Ice Craze TVC back in 2006:


Starting on Monday, July 6, on GMA Telebabad, Carla Abellana will now be tagged as the Pinay Rosalinda and no longer the model from a TV commercial as she and Geoff Eigenmann will bring delight to the televiewers as Rosalinda and Fernando Jose in the Philippine version of the Mexican telenovela Rosalinda.



Carla and Geoff make a great couple. But for sure, PBA player JC Intal wouldn't want to hear that.
