Angel Locsin defends herself on "lasinggera" and "layas" issues!

Here are what Angel said on The Buzz yesterday:

“Noong una ayokong mag-explain kasi para sa akin wala naman akong kailangang i-explain kasi mas kilala ko ang sarili ko. Nakakagulat lang kasi pati sa PA (personal assistant) ko na kasama ko naman hanggang ngayon na nilayasan daw ako. Tapos may mga trabaho daw akong hindi nasisipot, eh wala pa naman akong ginagawa ngayon so ano ‘yung hindi ko masisipot na trabaho?”

“Alam ko bilang artista wala tayong karapatang masaktan sa mga ganon kaya lang hindi ko maiwasan kasi syempre tao lang po, ako lalo na kung imbento (lang ang mga lumalabas na balita).”


On what's happening between her and his dad

“Actually kami ngayon ni Daddy medyo meron kaming hindi pagkakaunawaan kasi naniniwala siya sa isyu na alcoholic na ganun...Bilang isang ama hindi naman nagkukulang ng pangaral si Daddy."

“Okay naman kami kasi tatay ko naman siya, anak pa rin niya ko. Kaya lang ayoko ko lang kasi ilang taon kong tinrabaho na makuha ko ang trust ng daddy ko tapos mababahiran ‘yun ng duda dahil sa isang isyu na hindi mo alam kung saan nagmula.”

On her drinking alcohol

“Kailangan ko ring ma-experience talaga, eh. Sa group ko, sa friends ko, sa career ko rin kasi may mga bagay na hindi mo naman basta pwedeng iimbento ang emosyon, ‘di ba?”

At the end of the interview, Angel thanked all those celebs and fans who are defending her against the issues.

What we think? Angel should just laugh at these issues. Obviously, these are just being made by those stupid people who are jealous of all the things she has. What, the girl is super active on such organizations as Red Cross and has done lots of stuff to help others. If ever she decides to go out and drink until she's wasted, so what? She's not hurting anybody and she's not compromising her career so what's the problem? Sigh.

What can you say about this?

Ogie says Party Pilipinas will tour the Philippines and the whole world!

Here's what Ogie said on Chika Minute:
“Excited kaming lahat for Party Pilipinas because matagal naming pinaghandaan ito. At sa March 28 lalabas na... Maglilibot kami sa buong Pilipinas, lilibot kami sa buong mundo. So Party Pilipinas will be a party of lahat ng mga Kapuso sa buong mundo."

Err, really? LOL. This is what we mean when we say some GMA people are just out of control when they praise their own shows. They should try being more realistic. Party Pilipinas has not yet proven anything yet and here they go with their ambitious press releases.

PP might be good but don't raise the expectations too high because you may just fall short in the end.

Vhong comments on Angel's pull-out from Kokey!

Here are Vhong's statements in an interview with abs-cbn.com:

“Naintindihan ko naman kasi may gagawing ibang project si Angel, ‘yung teleserye with John Lloyd. Happy naman ako na magagawa na niya ‘yun kasi ang pagkakaalam ko dati pa siyang excited nang gawin ‘yun.”

“Nagkakausap kami noong medyo pahaging na malabong magawa niya itong Kokey at Ako. Pero ngayong na-confirm na eh hindi pa kami nagkakausap. Okay lang naman sa akin. Ang iniisip ko talaga e siya kasi medyo natatagalan nga itong Kokey pero kailangan na niya kasing mag-work. Mabuti naman sisimulan na ‘yung teleserye niya with John Lloyd, isang good friend ko rin.”

“Kahit na nawala si Angel, naging happy naman ako kasi si Toni ‘yung pumalit. Best friend ko ‘yan si Toni, ang dami naming pinagsamahan na project, gamay na namin ang isa’t isa. First time nga lang na magte-teleserye kami.”

Hmm. We're really unsure about this Kokey thing. Will it be a hit?

Claudine on Juday being called "Reyna ng Teleserye": "kaming dalawa ni Juday 'yon."

Claudine made some interesting statements in her interview published on pep. Here are some of her HOT lines:

On Juday being called, "Reyna ng Teleserye"

"No, hindi po sumama ang loob ko. Basta ang alam ko, kaming dalawa ni Juday 'yon. I really don't dwell on it. Nabigla rin siguro sila sa biglang paglipat ko. Deserving po naman talaga si Juday sa title na Reyna ng Teleserye."

On why she transferred

"Gusto ko pa ring mag-grow as an actor. It's been one year and three months na wala akong ginagawa. Feeling ko, para akong nabobo. Parang hindi na ako makaka-memorize ng script kung hindi pa ako magtatrabaho."

Was it hard?

"Hindi naman ako nahirapang lumipat dahil kilala ko na ang mga boss dito [sa GMA-7] dahil kay Raymart. Madalas din silang nagdi-dinner sa bahay kapag inimbita ni Raymart. Saka nakaranas na rin akong makapagtrabaho dito dahil naige-guest ako sa shows ng asawa ko paminsan-minsan."

What are her expectations from GMA?

"Alam kong magiging masaya ako dito. Mas marami akong makakatrabaho, mas marami akong mata-tackle na roles, bagong directors na hindi ko pa nakatrabaho. Sa ngayon kasi, may 26 weeks na silang in-offer sa akin. Bale six months at baka maging one year pa ito. Bukod sa drama, mayroon ding comedy, suspense-thriller, romantic-comedy, action-drama."

"Masaya dahil alam kong maraming magkakaroon ng trabaho. Gusto ko ring makatrabaho sina Dingdong Dantes, Dennis Trillo, Marian Rivera, Iza Calzado... Tama na muna sa akin ang drama anthology para may time naman ako na gumawa rin ng movie."

Well, we hope you'll stay happy there, Clau.

Vice Ganda makes HOT comments on Diz Iz It!

Vice Ganda will again earn lots of comments, positive and negative on his interview with pep. Here are some of his HOT statements:

On Diz Iz It:

"Ang unang pakiramdam ko, kinabahan ako. Bilang tao, normal lang naman ang kabahan kami pag mayroon ka nang katunggali. Pero hindi ko pa siya napapanood. Wala akong napapanood na episode nila kasi unang-una, pareho kami ng timeslot.

"Sabi nila, parehong-pareho. Pero sabi din nila, hindi rin naman daw kasi malayong-malayo raw kung ikukumpara. Kung ganun naman pala, nakaka-offend. Kasi, for example, ginaya kita tapos hindi ko naman na-justify yung panggagaya ko sa iyo, di ba, nakaka-offend?

"Sabi nila, 'imitation is the highest form of flattery' dahil gingaya kami. Kaya lang, kung ang panggagaya sa iyo ay nakaka-offend, parang binababoy naman kami, hindi mo kami binibigyan ng tribute kundi binababoy mo kami."

On Showtime:

"Nung una, aminado naman ako, kahit kina Direk Bobet [Vidanes], bago nagsimula ang show, nung nag-mock episode kami, hindi ako masyadong nagandahan. Sabi ko nga, jologs na ako pero yung konsepto ng show, jologs na jologs pa. Kaya lang, sabi ko, okey lang. Tinanggap ko na rin kasi wala naman akong shows, better than none. Sabi ko nga, ang talino ng nakaisip nito kasi hindi namin ito nakita. Pero yung nakaisip nun, yung nag-conceptulaize, nakita niya agad yun, na-imagine niya.

"Hindi naman sa pag-aano, sila Vhong [Navarro], Anne [Curtis] at Kuya Kim [Atienza], kahit wala ang Showtime, Anne, Vhong at Kuya Kim na sila. Ako, parang kahit papaano, nagkaroon ng Vic Ganda dahil sa Showtime talaga. Parang sa aming lahat, sa akin pinakamalaki ang naitulong ng Shwotime,"

On intrigues:

"Ang hangad ko lang talaga ay magpatawa. Oo, sasabihin nila may mga pumupuri, may mga humahanga, pero may may mapait din palang kapalit. Hindi lang basta hindi mo sila ma-please, sasaktan ka nila, ia-attempt ka nilang saktan. Kaya sabi ko nga, ang labo pala nitong negosyo na pinasok natin."

On the saying, "Pinupukol ang puno na hitik sa bunga":

"Oo, I also believe in that. Pero ayokong sabihin, puno ako ngayon na hitik na hitik kaya pinupukol nila. Masyado nang kayabangan yun para sabihin ko."

And oh, here's his latest shoutout on Facebook:

"Guys i've heard about this ANTI VICE GANDA fan page. Wag nyo n lang sana patulan. At wag nyo n lang din i-visit ung page para ipagtanggol ako. Gusto lang naman nilang magpapansin kaya wag nating pansinin para di nila makuha ang gusto nila. I appreciate your efforts to defend me. But they're not worth our time!!!! Love you all!!!! Naku mas maiinggit n sila kasi malapit n tayong mag 800,000 members!!!! Yehey!!!!!"

Regine: "..maganda talaga yung ASAP..mga production numbers, talagang pinag-iisipan!"

In an interview with pep.ph, Regine shared what she thinks about SOP and what we should expect for Party Pilipinas. Here are some of her statements:

On SOP:

"Actually nung time na nag-ano sila (Fully Charged), hindi ako pumapasok nun, e. Kasi yun yung time na nagkakasakit ako nun, e. I don't really know what happened. But when I started to do SOP again, I just heard that they're gonna finish it na. So, sabi ko, 'A, okay, that's sad.' I don't know the whole story behind it. I've been hearing stories but..."

"May konting stress ng konti (on SOP), hindi sa akin pero dun sa mga kasama ko, yung staff. Nararamdaman ko yung stress nila. Unlike before na it was just really fun, medyo nawala 'yon. So I guess okay na rin na mag-e-end siya for us to be able to start...bago na ulit. Para mawala na rin yung... May bad vibes na, e.

"'Tsaka yung para din sa staff. Kawawa sila kasi sobra na silang pressured. At least, pag nag-umpisa kami ng bagong show, huwag muna natin lakihan yung expectations sa atin. Ano lang muna, mag-enjoy muna tayo. When SOP started, it was just like that. Let's just do our thing. Let's not expect anything. Huwag muna tayong mag-expect na mataas na rating. Just do concert on TV. That was the theme of SOP."


On ASAP:

"I have to say maganda talaga yung ASAP. Mga production numbers, talagang pinag-iisipan... Not that hindi pinag-iisipan yung sa SOP kasi they work so hard just be able to create one production number. Katakot-takot na bloodshed ito! Katakot-takot na hirap talaga ang dinadanas ng production para lang makabuo ng isang production number. Minsan lang, meron yung hit and miss. Minsan naghi-hit, minsan nagmi-miss.

"You also have to admit that there was a time na it was us on top and they were... Di ba? Kami naman yung maraming hits. Ngayon, sila naman yung mas madaming hits, sila yung nasa taas. Okay lang yun. Kasi na-experience din naman namin yung sila yung No. 1, kami parang wala lang. Okay lang yun.

"You know, the one thing I think that we lost...hindi naman lost, but we forgot is to just have fun. Masyado kaming na-stress sa ratings kasi the network... Of course, hindi naman namin ma-blame, they were expecting so much from the program. But the program was getting tired! It was just really getting tired from too much pressure, from too much intrigues, and from too much whatever."

On Party Pilipinas:

"Yun ang gusto naming ibalik sa Party Pilipinas: it's a concert TV. Dun naman kami pinapanood, e. Live yung kantahan, live band. Di ba? Feeling ko, yun talaga ang strength ng SOP."

"They'd probably see me more in the new show kasi talagang ito parang kina-career talaga namin, e."

"May ibang look. Yung production people siguro maraming mababago. Maraming mababago sa show, pero alam kong napakalaki ng expectations ng sangkatauhan sa show na ito. Pero sa akin, mas gusto ko lang mag-enjoy kasi yun lang dapat yun, e. Kaya kami pinapanood dahil they see us enjoying and it came to a point na parang minsan hindi na masyadong enjoyable.

"So I hope that this new show, yun lang, have fun, let's just do our thing, not expect anything big yet, you know. I hope the viewers, the fans, the loyal fans—'cause we still have more loyal fans, you know, meron pa ring gano'n. We hope that our viewers will help us also... Kasi, siyempre, we're starting again, sana tulungan kami na makapag-umpisa ulit, mapasaya sila, maging proud sila ulit na nanood sila ng...well, now it's called Party Pilipinas."

Hmm. We love the idea of live singing! Hope ASAP people will get the idea and decrease their annoying lip synching numbers. If the stars can't sing, why not just let them dance instead of making them look like fools pretending to be singing?

Comments please!

Vice Ganda's Tough Ten interview on The Buzz: We Love!

Here are some of his HOT answers:

On issues about him being "nilamon ng tagumpay" and "mayabang"
“Kung nilamon na ako ng tagumpay, wala na ako ngayon dito dahil nasa sikmura na ako ng tagumpay. Kung sinasabi nilang mayabang ako, oo mayabang ako at napakaraming dahilan na ipinagyayabang ko. Mayabang ako at ipinagmamayabang ko at ipinagmamalaki kong Pilipino ako, ipinagmamayabang kong bakla ako, ipinagmamayabang kong anak ako ng mga magulang ko, ipinagmamayabang kong akong si Vice Ganda, ipinagmamayabang kong bahagi ako ng Showtime, ipinagmamayabang kong Kapamilya ako. Gayunpaman, hindi ito pumapasok sa utak ko para manlamang ng tao. Mayabang ako pero hindi ako nagnanakaw, hindi ako pumapatay. Kung mayabang man ako, huwag mo akong panoorin.”

On his detractors
“Kahit ano pang sabihin n’yo sa akin. Batuhin n’yo man ako ng masasakit na intriga, pukulin n’yo man ako ng pagkasakit-sakit (na salita) naniniwala ako mula umaga hanggang gabi mayroon akong Diyos na kakampi.”

On his being called "kabayo"
“Pinagkakakitaan ko ‘yan.”

On being snubbed by his crush Jon Avila
“Sinabi n’ya po kasi na hindi talaga niya ako nakita. Kaya naunawaan ko naman talaga siya. Kaya sabi ko, ‘ah baka talagang di mo ako nakita, maaaring sa laking kong ito hindi mo ko nakita.”

And finally, he said:
“Hindi po ako magbabago. Patutunayan ko po sa inyo na hindi lahat ng kabayo na pagtakbo lang ang kakayahan. May kabayo rin na may pakpak at pwedeng lumipad at sa paglipad kong ito, hindi naman ako magpapakataas-taas. Paaalalahanan ko pa rin ang sarili ko na mayroon akong apat na mahahabang paa na magbabalik sa akin upang muling tumapak sa lupa.”

If Anne rules Twitter, Vice Ganda reigns in Facebook!

Vice Ganda now has more than 662,000 fans on facebook.com. That's a huge number compared to other stars. Kris Aquino only has 355,000 fans while Anne's most popular fansite has only more than 109,000.

Although Noynoy Aquino is the Pinoy celebrity with the most fans on facebook, (around 693,000) followed by Manny Villar with around 660,000 fans, Vice Ganda's number of fans is still more commendable because there are no advertisements for his facebook page unlike those of Aquino and Villar.

Showtime also has a huge number of fans amounting to more than 329,000 compared to that of Diz Iz It which only has 222 fans (there are other Diz Iz It fan pages but the one mentioned has the highest number of fans).

P.S. Vice Ganda has another fanpage called May NAGTEXT! - Vice Ganda which now has more than 375,000 fans!

Paul Jake: "Melai deserves it!"

In an interview with PEP, Paul Jake revealed some of his thoughts and feelings on PBB and Melai.

On whether his family used lots of money for him to win
"Well, I don't know anything because I haven't talked to my family, pero sana hindi nila ginamit ang pera nila. I hope na yung votation came from the taong-bayan talaga. Before, yun din ang sinasabi ng mga friends and mga kilala ko dun sa Cebu. They said na hindi talaga ako mananalo sa PBB kasi I came from a well-off family. They didn't think I deserve it. That's why I'm not really expecting it."

On Melai being the Big Winner
"For me, si Melai ang star and everything. We, the housemates, know naman that she made the Big Brother's house happy and entertaining to us and she deserves it."

On his attitude and PBB issues
"That's what I keep saying inside the house, and now I'm gonna say it again na I can't please everone. Kung may na-offend man ako, sorry na lang. I didn't mean it. I just had to say what I wanted to say."

"Regarding Cathy, if ever I got a chance to talk to her, I'll talk to her. Honestly, I don't remember saying the gold digger part. If ever I did say that, I'm very sorry though wala talaga akong matandaan na nasabi ko yun. If ever I got he chance, I will clarify and clear things up."

And on the love of his life
"The first time na nakita ko ang girlfriend ko [sa Bahay Ni Kuya] was my birthday and I was really happy. That's also the first time na umiyak ako nang umiyak. Ako, I value our relationship so much talaga until now and forever."

Sweet.
