Kris Bernal makes Bela Padilla feel insecure in Machete set?

Kris Bernal recently joined the cast of the GMA7 show, Machete. This marked Kris Bernal's reunion with the show's lead actor Aljur Abrenica who was his "love team" for quite sometime. This said to have led Bela Padilla to feel insecure during the set.


Bela Padilla clarified the issue saying, “Sa tingin ko kasi nasa kalove team mo ‘yon kung meron kang dapat ika-insecure," Bella told 24 Oras. “E Aljur naman pinapa-feel niya na secure kami sa posisyon namin sa show," she added.

On the same interview Aljur also said, “Wala namang dapat na ma-insecure dahil dito sa Machete ang original love team naman is kami ni Bela."

Kris Bernal, however, admitted that she was the one who felt awkward at first.

“Kasi hindi naman po ako close kay Ryza (Cenon) pati kay Bela, so naiilang po ako nung una. Pero nagulat po ako talagang ang bait nila sa’ken," Kris share.

Kris Bernal will be playing the role of Jessa, a damsel in distress who rescues a severely injured Dakila/Machete (Aljur Abrenica) after engaging in an epic battle with Karum (Ryan Eigenmann). As Jessa nurses Machete's wounds, the ancient warrior will protect Jessa from her overbearing father who wanted to marry her off to man she doesn't love.

After suffering for a long time from a disease which the family refused to disclose, Miss Universe 1974 Amparo Muñoz passed away last February 27 at the age of 56.

Amparo Muñoz was a fashion model who represented Spain when the Miss Universe was held for the first time in Manila, Philippines in 1974.

"Mula Sa Puso" Remake Cast revealed! | Lauren Young, Jm de Guzman, Enrique Gil take lead roles

After the overwhelming success of its remake on Mara Clara, ABS-CBN will again bring back to our TV screens another well-loved teleserye hit in the past. The 1997-1999 drama series, Mula sa Puso which brought Claudine Barreto, Rico Yan and Diether Ocampo to superstardom, is now being taped and will be aired on the Kapamilya network soon.

So far the biggest break of her career, young actress Lauren Young will be the new Claudine in this remake and will be playing the role of Via. It will also be a wish-come-true for newcomers JM de Guzman and Enrique Gil because they have been chosen to portray the roles of Gabriel (originally played by Rico Yan) and Michael (Diether Ocampo's role), respectively.

Also part of the cast are veteran actor Gabby Concepcion as Via's father Don Fernando, Eula Valdez as Selina and Dawn Zulueta as Via's Mom, Magdalena.

Mula sa Puso 2011 will be directed by Wenn Deramas who also directed the original series.

Here's the plot of the 1997 Mula Sa Puso courtesy of wikipedia:

Via (Claudine Barretto), the only daughter of Don Fernando (Juan Rodrigo), is raised as his darling princess. On her eighteenth birthday she finds out that her father has promised her (hand in marriage) to her childhood friend Michael (Diether Ocampo), and before the birthday party is over, she gets kidnapped. She is rescued by a good samaritan named Gabriel (Rico Yan), whom she falls in love with. Michael at the latter part of the story became romantically involved with Via's best friend, Trina (Rica Peralejo). As the story unfolds, Via ends up having to decide between the two men in her life, while learning more about her mother Magda (Jaclyn Jose) and fighting off her evil aunt Selina, (Princess Punzalan), who is the sister of Don Fernando who wants to make all of them miserable before Selina's defeat.

In the story, Selina was one of the most influential character, due to her greediness in power and wealth of Don Fernando ( Juan Rodrigo), her brother. She used people in order to manipulate them when a bombing in the departure of Via and her family to start a new life begins, Via lives a new identity but comes back to her family, and they all face Selina one last time in dignity.

Born This Way - Lady Gaga Lyrics

[Intro]
It doesn't matter if you love him,
Or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'cause you were born this way, baby

[Verse 1]
My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

"there's nothin wrong with lovin who you are"
She said, "'cause he made you perfect, babe"

"so hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"


[Chorus]
I'm beautiful in my way
'cause god makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

[Post-chorus]
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born-
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be!


[Verse 2]
Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth

In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital h-i-m (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)

[Chorus]
I'm beautiful in my way
'cause god makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born-
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way


[Bridge]
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'cause baby you were born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave

[Chorus]
I'm beautiful in my way
'cause god makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

[Outro]
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

Carla Abellana, JC Intal Scandal hits online? (Photos)

The beautiful Kapuso actress Carla Abellana and ex-boyfriend PBA player JC Intal said to have scandal photos circulating in the internet!

I immediately searched info about them and found out that the said scandal pics are nothing but a couple of years old kissing photos of the then in love couple, Carla Abellana and JC Intal.

Lol. I don't even think there is anything scandalous about the pictures since they are just showing what lovers usually do when they show their affection to each other - couples kiss.

Nevertheless, if you're a fan, the pictures might give you some 'kilig'. :D

Check out the said "Carla Abellana, JC Intal Scandal Photos" below:







Carla Abellana and JC Intal had long been 'separated'. Carla is now dating Geoff Eigenmann. While, JC Intal, is courting Bianca Gonzales.

Ruffa Gutierrez bares sexy body in new Belo billboard ad

Miss World 1993 Second Princess Ruffa Gutierrez said that she is ready for whatever response she is going to get regarding her upcoming Belo Medical Group billboard ad which she has done shooting a couple of days ago.

"Ready na ako. Pinaghirapan ko itong shoot na ito. And hindi lang ako nagpa-body-tight kay Dra. [Vicki] Belo, pero talagang nag-workout ako."

"I believe kasi na hindi mo lang puwedeng iasa sa isang bagay ang pagpapaganda ng katawan. You also have to eat right, be healthy, and work out especially, di ba, kahit ano ang gawin mo, kung hindi ka naman fit and you don't feel good about yourself, walang mangyayari. Walang long-term result na makikita. So, it's not a one process lang, it's an everyday process."

"So, handang-handa na ako para sa shoot na ito. And I'm sure kapag lumabas na yung mga billboards sa aming launch next month, talagang masisindak sila kasi first time ko itong mag-swimsuit sa pictorial after having my two daughters," Ruffa told Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP)

The billboard ad said to have a sexy and daring concept in time for the coming Summer season. It will be out on the second week of March and will be seen first in the Guadalupe area.

Angel Aquino, Lui Villaruz call it quits

The year might have started with hot celebrity hook-ups and lovely weddings of famous personalities in show business. But as what we know about the nature of the industry, it's not gonna be all fairy tales all year round. In fact, a 4-year long romance has just ended.

Model turned actress Angel Aquino confirmed recently that she and longtime boyfriend TV personality-businessman Lui Villaruz have called it quits.


When asked whether there was a third party involved, Angel Aquino was quick to say,

"Of course, in his part, maybe he's hurt about something. But as far as I know... and concerned, there's no third party involved. Wala po talaga. I'm not with anyone else. I did not have any relationship with someone else while with Lui," Angel told the press during the 5th "Us Girls" Anniversary presscon held earlier this week.

Angel, 38, clarified that it is not her first break-up with Lui, 34.

"Kami ni Lui we would be on and off, in those four years, but we just wouldn't tell people. Kasi para sa amin, di naman kailangan, di ba? Parang... then when you meet someone and people seeing you with another person, that's it, and you want to talk about it, then you talk about it. Pero hindi na namin ia-announce na, 'O hindi na kami ni Lui.' Kasi you're inviting intrigue pa, e."

However, it seems like the split is for good since Angel also revealed that Lui is currently dating 'Miss Earth'.

"Sabi niya, 'O, bago mo marinig sa iba, sasabihin ko na sa iyo na I'm dating Miss Earth.' And I'm happy for him. I'm very, very, very, very happy for him." Wala raw siyang ideya kung current o past Miss Earth title holder ang dine-date ngayon ng ex-boyfriend. Hindi na raw siya nagtanong at wala talaga siyang balak pang mag-text back dito."

In 2009, it has been reported that Angel and Lui were discussing marriage.

Would she agree to go out on a date with him? “Hindi ko pa alam, depende, depende.” according to the actress.

Irina Shayk spices up 2011 Sports Ilustrated cover

Stripping down to a pink and yellow bikini, Russian model Irina Shayk is sizzling hot on the cover of Sports Illustrated (SI) magazine 2011 issue.


Shayk is the first Russian to be featured on the cover of the annual swimsuit issue of the magazine which has heightened the profiles of many models.

"It's a part of the modern world to use these technologies, and I think our readers, and viewers, can have the issue come alive in so many new ways, now," said Diane Smith, SI's swimsuit issue senior editor.

The 2011 Sports Illustrated is available at newsstands on Tuesday. Digital formats for iPads, mobile phones and even television with new apps for the digital reader will also be released.

Irina Shayk via Wikipedia

Irina Shayk (sometimes credited as Irina Sheik, born Irina Shaykhlislamova (Russian: Ирина Шайхлисламова) on January 6, 1986 in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia, USSR) is a Russian model known for her 2007 through 2011 appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She is the cover model for the 2011 issue.


She currently ranks 10th in the "Top 20 Sexiest Models" list on MODELS.com.

It’s from her father that she got her unusual looks, she says, which often cause people to think she’s South American. “My father was dark skinned, because he was Tatar. Sometimes Tatars can look Brazilian,” she says. “I get my light eyes from my mother.” Irina has a pet dog named Caesar (named after Julius Caesar),a Lab who, she claims, was fathered by one of the dogs who played the title role in Marley & Me.


Since May/Spring of 2010, she has been dating footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. Shayk and Ronaldo allegedly met through their Armani Exchange campaigns.The New York Observer reported on September 2010 that Shayk purchased a $1.963 million one-bedroom apartment in West Village.

Kate Middleton's see-through dress worth $16,000

The famous see-through dress of Prince William's wife-to-be Kate Middleton will be auctioned off London next month and is expected to fetch up to £10,000 or approximately 16,000 USD.

The transparent black dress was worn by Kate Middleton during a charity fashion show at Saint Andrew's University in Scotland in 2002. According to reports, Prince William first noticed Middleton when she wore the dress during the event.

The knitted lace dress was designed by Charlotte Todd, who was a student in 2000 at the University of the West of England taking up fashion and textile design when she produced the garment for a project entitled "The Art of Seduction".

“There’s world fascination in anything to do with Kate Middleton at the moment,” says auctioneer Kerry Taylor in an interview with Bloomberg.

“Whoever is going to buy this dress is going to make headline news. If you want to get publicity for yourself or your museum, this is a good way to do it.” Taylor added.
