The Black Book: Paulo Avelino, LJ Reyes, Bela Padilla, Rocco Nacino and Yasmien Kurdi
Paulo Avelino and LJ Reyes
Paulo's favorite TV show right now is True Blood, he says: "there's just something about the show; sobrang astig yung mga vampires."
Why did LJ Reyes enter showbusiness? "I love performing, acting, dancing, and I enjoy everything about it."
Tasya Fantasya Na-Extend
May go signal ang GMA-7 na pabubuuin ang full season contract ng comeback team-up nina Yasmien Kurdi and Rainier Castillo na Tasya Fantasya dahil kung medyo hirap man ito the past weeks sa ratings, hindi naman ito nababawasan ng commercials at full-load pa rin ang palabas.
Personal opinion, baka siguro kailangan lang na umere ang Tasya Fantasya on time para may chance na makalaban ito dahil admittedly palaging exten- ded ang sinusunda nito.
The good news is that may bago nang susundan ang Tasya Fantasya starting today, after Pinoy Idol Extra hosted by Karylle and Rhian Ramos.
Mamaya, magbabalik ang nag-cameo performance last week na sina Jennica Garcia and Mart Escudero for full-guest appearance.
Mapupunta si Tasya sa mundo kung saan napaka-raming Siamese twins.
Si Jennica ang kakambal-tuko ni Yasmien at si Mart naman kay Rainier.
Tasya Fantasya is directed by Mac Alejandre.
Polite & courteous young stars
STARBYTES By Butch Francisco
The other day, I wrote about how most of today’s new breed of stars are lacking in manners and hardly show any respect for people ahead of them in this business. Fortunately, we still have a few young stars who are polite and courteous. Here is my personal list.
Alfred Vargas — His parents and the Jesuits did a good job on him. He best exemplifies what proper education does to a person.
Pauleen Luna — She can swap jokes with people older than her, but without being disrespectful.
Dennis Trillo — He is Mr. Manners. Anywhere he sees you, he always has his hand extended to say hello.
Richard and Raymond Gutierrez — Very charming like their Ate Ruffa. They have the gentlemanly ways of their father Eddie and the warmth of Mom Annabelle (when she’s not on the warpath).
Lovi — Totally well-bred. If only all young stars could be like her.
Camille Prats — I knew her as a kid when we were with ABS-CBN. She brought her nice ways over when she moved to GMA 7.
Sunshine Dizon — She is very solicitous. When I appeared on Bakekang last December, she being the mainstay saw to it that I was okay and that the show’s staff was taking care of me. I will never forget that display of kindness.
Alessandra de Rossi — She may be the feistiest among today’s young stars, but she can also be very sweet (a trait she must have gotten from older sister Assunta). With Alex, she can show her fangs when she’s angry, but not to the point of rudeness.
Paolo Contis — Even in person he is very funny, but never obnoxious.
Isabel Oli — She is my favorite young Cebuana because of her very nice ways.
Mark Herras — He never let stardom get to his head. His every greeting is warm and sincere.
Yasmien Kurdi — She is the sweetest among the young stars today.
Oyo Sotto — Very quiet, but very polite.
Danica Sotto — She speaks her mind, but without being rude. I also have to say that her husband, Marc Pingris, is a true gentleman.
Dion Ignacio — In spite of his humble beginnings, he knows the basic rules on politeness.
Tyrone Perez — Even at the start of the StarStruck Batch 1 search, he already proved to be very courteous.
Katrina Halili — Even if she’s hot now, she remains unaffected. She still goes around giving everyone a warm hello.
Mike Tan — He is the embodiment of politeness.
Ryza Cenon — One time after the shoot of a Christmas plug for GMA 7, we all repaired to a restaurant for dinner and after the meal, she got the cheque. Oh, she’s not only nice and polite, but generous, too. But I couldn’t let her pay the bill, of course. I quickly handed it over to our executive producer (ha-ha-ha!). There really was a budget for that.
CJ Muere — He was well-taught by his parents on how to be politeand courteous.
LJ Reyes — You can joke around with her, but she doesn’t cross the line and is constantly aware of how to respect people older than her.
Ryan Yllana and Aileen Luna — They make a nice pair: Sweet and courteous.
Arci Muñoz — Her manners are as nice as her big, brown eyes.
Chuck Allie — We are gym buddies at Gold’s and that is our bonding.
Prince Stefan — He is Mr. Personality.
Mariel Rodriguez — I’ve never met her in person, but I was touched when she tried to get my number to thank me for a nice article I wrote about her.
Toni Gonzaga — Even if she is dead tired due to overwork, she still finds time to say hello.
Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo — They bring out the best in each other. I haven’t met Ryan’s parents, but I’m sure they’re nice people based on how their boy turned out. Mommy Carol — I love her. She knows how to say thank you even for a small deed you’ve done for her.
Luis Manzano — He was very shy as a boy, but is surviving show business swimmingly well. One of Vilma Santos’ biggest accomplishments was to have raised him well.
You must have noticed that the list of GMA 7 talents is longer. No, I’m not saying that there are more polite young people in Channel 7. It’s just that I get to interact more with them. When I attended Deo Endrinal’s birthday party last year at the Teatrino, I was so touched by the fact a lot of young ABS-CBN stars were coming up to me to introduce themselves or just say hi. Although I felt old, it was good to know that we still have polite and courteous young people in both major stations.

Pati Ba Pintig ng Puso, Yasmien's first solo show
NAG-first taping day na ang Pati Ba Pintig Ng Puso.Personally, very happy kami for this new Sine Novela ng GMA na remake of the Viva Films movie nina Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion dahil it will star Yasmien Kurdi in the Mega role.
This is Yasmien's first solo show na siya ang magdadala since their Love to Love pa noon ni Rainier Castillo and this is long overdue.
Napatunayan na rin naman ni Yasmien na kung acting lang din ang paguusapan, she is the best of her batch sa Starstruck and this was
last seen sa Bakekang nila ni Sunshine Dizon.
Pati Ba Pintig Ng Puso will have JC de Vera playing the Gabby role at may isa pa kaming good news dahil another StarStruck III avenger
was given her chance to shine, si Arci Muñoz.
She plays the Jobelle Salvador character in the movie na dapat ay kay Stef Prescott.
Yasmien Kurdi willing to pose nude for a cause
Maagang dumating si Yasmien Kurdi sa grand launching ng Forever Flawless branch sa SM Bacoor, Cavite, last April 29. Isa si Yasmien sa mga celebrity endorsers ng Forever Flawless, na pag-aari ni Mr.Joey Santos at ilang business partners.Marami ang pumuri sa kaseksihan ni Yasmien ngayon, lalo na yung mga madalas makakita sa kaniya sa sa bakuran ng GMA-7 noong medyo mataba pa siya. Hindi naman inililihim ni Yasmien ang kanyang sikreto kung paano siya pumayat ngayon.
Ang pagiging strict vegetarian ni Yasmien ang dahilan kung bakit ang sexy-sexy niya ngayon. Naging vegetarian daw siya pagkatapos niyang maging miyembro sa PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Nakita lang daw niya sa Internet ang international organization na ito. Pagkatapos makita ni Yasmien kung paano ang ginagawang pagpatay sa mga hayop, agad siyang nag-fill-up ng application para maging member ng PETA.
Bukod kay Yasmien, member din ng PETA si Diether Ocampo, na nag-pose ng nude para sa isang campaign ad nila. Nakita na raw ni Yasmien ang nasabing pictorial ni Diet. Willing din daw ang young actress mag-pose ng nude para sa campaign ng PETA.
"Kaya kong gawin yun for a cause," nakakagulat na sabi ni Yasmien. "Pero yung mag-pose nang sexy para sa men's magazine, ayoko. Binibigyan mo lang ng kasiyahan yung mga lalaki. Magpapa-
pictorial ako ng sexy, not for them, but for a cause."
Yasmien Kurdi reprises Sharon Cuneta's role in "Pati Ba Pintig ng Puso"
Hindi pa man nagsisimulang ipalabas ang Sinasamba Kita, ang unanghandog ng Sine Serye ng GMA-7, ay nagkaroon na ng story conference
para sa susunod na episode ng naturang serye. Ito ay ang remake ng
1985 movie ng Megastar na si Sharon Cuneta, ang Pati Ba Pintig ng
Puso?. Balitang first week of May nakatakdang mag-first taping day
ang second offering ng Sine Serye.
Ang Pati Ba Pintig ng Puso? ay pinagtambalan noon nina Sharon at ng
kanyang dating asawa na si Gabby Concepcion. Kasama nila rito sina
Eddie Garcia, Dina Bonnevie, Edu Manzano, Jobelle Salvador, at ang
yumao nang sina Charito Solis at Joel Alano.
Sa TV version naman ng Viva Films classic na ito, first time na susubukan ng Kapuso Network ang tambalang Yasmien Kurdi at JC de Vera, na gaganap sa mga roles nina Sharon at Gabby.
Napag-alaman ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na kasama rin sa cast ng TV version ng Pati Ba Pintig ng Puso? sina Eddie Gutierrez sa role ni Eddie Garcia noon, si Karel Marquez sa role ni Dina Bonnevie, at si Chynna Ortaleza sa role ni Jobelle Salvador. Makakasa rin daw rito sina Jennifer Sevilla, Marco Alcaraz, at Kier Legaspi.
Ayon pa sa balita, tila hindi na raw hihintayin ng GMA-7 na matapos ang Sinasamba Kita bago ipasok ng GMA-7 ang Pati Ba Pintig ng Puso? dahil sunud-sunod na raw itong mapapanood after ng Daisy Siyete.
Isa sa pinaka-memorable scene sa pelikulang Pati Ba Pintig ng Puso? ay ang helicopter scene, kung saan bumaba si Gabby pauwi sa kanilang hacienda. Ayon sa PEP source, na kasama sa production team ng TV version, pipilitin nilang maipakita rin ang naturang scene sa remake
nito.
GMA, nagagawa bang unahing bigyan ng proyekto ang mga myembro ng GMA Artist Center?
Humigit kumulang na 115 ang mga artistang inaalagaan, sinasanay at inihahanap ng proyekto ng GMA Artist Center (GMAAC). Marami sa mga ito ay mga nanalo sa mga reality shows na itinaguyod ng nasabing network. Tulad ng StarStruck, Pinoy Pop Superstar, etc. Bagaman at maituturing nang sikat ang mga katulad nina Jennylyn Mercado, Mark Herras na Ultimate winners sa SS Batch 1 at maging ang mga Avengers na sina Katrina Halili, Cristine Reyes, Nadine Samonte, atbp, mas marami sa kanila ang hanggang ngayon ay nangangarap pa ring maabot ang naabot ng mga binabanggit na kabataang artista. Kasama na rin ang mga nanalo at natalo sa ikalawa at ikatlong batches ng SS.
Sa bagay na ito nagkakaro’n ng problema ang AVP at Head ng GMAAC na si Ms. Ida R. Henares. Bagaman at ang mga inaalagaan nila sa GMAAC ang binibigyan ng prioridad ng GMA pagdating sa mga proyekto, tulad ng pelikula, telebisyon, recording at commercial, wala na siyang magawa kundi sumunod sa kung ano ang hinihingi kapag ratings na ang pinag-uusapan.
"Gustuhin ko man silang ipasok na lahat, pero may mga artista na hindi masyadong pinanonood at sinusuportahan ng manonood at meron namang napakaraming following. Pagdating na rito, sumusunod na lamang kami sa kung ano ang makapagbibigay ng ratings sa mga programa ng network at kahit na hindi taga-GMAAC ang gagamitin," ani Ms. Henares.
Sa mga GMAAC members, ilan sa talaga namang maituturing na tagumpay sina Iza Calzado, na nagpapamalas ng versatility sa kanyang maraming pagganap. Isa ito sa pinakamaaasahang artist ng GMA.
Magaling ding aktres sina Angel Locsin at Jennylyn Mercado. Maituturing na action fantasy heroine si Angel na isa na ring producer ngayon ng pelikula at si Jennylyn ay ang Ultimate Survivor victim who turned survivor.
Si Mark Herras, bukod sa may sarili nang fantaserye ngayon ay nakapagprodyus na rin ng platinum and gold records.
Wala na ring pwedeng tumawad sa mga naabot at inaabot pa rin nina Iwa Moto, Yasmien Kurdi, Rhian Ramos, Katrina Halili na No., 1 sa Pilipinas at No. 2 sa buong mundo sa pinaka-seksing babae.
Marami ring hit makers ang GMAAC, si Jonalyn Viray, Yasmien Kurdi who bagged the New Artist Award sa MYX Music Awards, Most Promising Female Singer Award sa Guillermo Mendoza Awards at si Mark Herras.
Sa kabila ng mga tagumpay, nakagawa na ang GMAAC ng beneficial alliances with local and International entities, tulad ng Olympics for the World Championships of Performing Arts. Nag-qualify dito sina Jonalyn at Brenan Espartinez, John Joven, Dex de Rosa.
Actively involved din ang GMAAC sa mga charitable activities.
Ang ilan sa mga artists ng GMAAC ay sina Aicelle Santos, Ailyn Luna, Aryana, Brad Turvey, Chuck Allie, Chynna Ortaleza, CJ Muere, Dion Ignacio, Gian Carlos, Jackie Rice, Jana Roxas, Jen Rosendahl, LJ Reyes, Marcus Lagdameo, Marky Cielo, Mike Tan, Neil Ferreira, Pekto, Pinoy Pop Superstar finalists, Regine Tolentino, Felix and Dominic Roco, Ryza Cenon, Sheena Halili, SOP Boys, StarStruck Girls, & Boys, Sugar Pop, Valerie Concepcion, Mang Mike, Belly Florie at maraming comedians.

Nadine Samonte ayaw magbilad ng katawan sa sexy magazine
MULING mag-aaral si Nadine Samonte next school year. Gusto niyang sundan ang mga yapak ng kanyang boyfriend na Chinese na si Emerson Chua na mula sa family ng may-ari ng Ping-Ping Lechon. Nag-aaral ngayon si Emerson sa College of St. Benilde sa Taft.Ani Nadine sa presscon ng Pitong Dalagita ng Canary Films: “Gusto ko na talagang magbalik-school next year. Kagustuhan ko iyon. Gusto ko lang ay sa school na pinapasukan ni Emerson, sa St. Benilde.
“Maaaring ‘di ko na siya maabutan dahil graduating na siya this school year ng business administration. Ako ay magsisimula pa lang.”
Okey naman sa BF niya na siya’y muling mag-aral. In fact, very supportive pa nga ito sa lahat ng gusto niyang gawin. Pati na rin sa pag-aartista.
“Kahit ano ang gawin ko ay okey lang sa kanya. Ako naman ang nagku-control ng gagawin ko sa movie o sa TV. Until now ayokong mag-pose sa FHM Magazine. Ipinangako ko ito sa aking boyfriend. Kahit marami ang nagsasabing bagay sa akin ‘yun. Kontento na ako sa takbo ng career ko.”
Sa Pitong Dalagita na direhe ni Cris Pablo, kasama ni Nadine bilang mga bida sina Iwa Moto, Angelica Panganiban, Cristine Reyes, Yasmien Kurdi at Jay-R Trinidad.
True-to-life story ito ng pitong dalagita na sabay-sabay na nagpakamatay. Naglaslas sila ng pulso. Pero, nabuhay ang anim at ang isa ay natuluyan. Sino kaya ang isang mamamatay? Ipapalabas na ang movie sa Nov.29.
