Lea Very Furious on Twitter na gano’n, pero sana ma-contain ng management.” Asked for her reaction to Salonga’s outburst on Twitter, Geronimo backed her fellow coach, noting that taping for the canned episodes of “The Voice of the Philippines” took long nights and hard work. “Si Ms. Lea kasi is very outspoken.

philippine showbiz news Raymart and Claudine Custody Battle Coming to a Close It has been more than a year since the Claudine’s case against enstranged husband, Raymart was requested in court. The actress filed the request for Temporary Protection Order (TPO) on July 2013. The welfare of the children is the couple’s main concern.

Former couple Claudine Barretto and Raymart Santiago, hopefully, may face each other in court for the last time. Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, on an interview, reveals that Raymart and Claudine’s case is coming to an end. Both parties have already submitted their evidences and have already presented it to court. “Anytime soon ay magkakaroon na ng desisyon yun regarding dun sa custody at saka dun sa PPO.” The lawyer cannot elaborate further because of a gag order by the court. Topacio also says, “Ang sa akin lang, kapag matapos na ang kasong ito, si Claudine can put things behind her at mag-concentrate dun sa comeback niya.” “And hopefully, kapag matapos na yung case at lumabas na yung totoo, ay malaman na ng mga tao na yung naririnig nila about Claudine ay hindi totoo—yung alleged drug addiction, yung may diperensiya siya psychologically.” After the court decision, Topacio says that Claudine will concentrate on her comeback.

“We’re really working hard and really preparing the children to decide already kung kanino nila gusto mag-stay. Sila na mamili, kung saan nila gusto -- sa tatay nila o sa akin,” Claudine said in an interview. Raymart is supposed unwilling to make peace and fulfill his financial obligation to his children. Barretto earlier accused Santiago of “physical, sexual, psychological and economic” abuse, supposedly dating back to 2002. These are detailed in her legal complaint against the actor for his alleged violation of of the Anti-Violence against Women and Their Children Act of 2004. Santiago also alleged that he was a victim of domestic violence. In his complaint, the actor accused his wife of being mentally ill and having a history of drug abuse, claims backed by the actress’ estranged siblings Gretchen, Marjorie, and JJ. Both Barretto and Santiago have repeatedly mentioned the welfare of their children in explaining why they took the spat to court, and why they are seeking sole custody of the kids. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

naghatid sa amin, so nag-picture sila. “Siguro nung ginaganun yung face ko, na nasakto na na-block yung face ko, so ‘pag titingnan mo sa picture, mukha siguro siyang nagki-kiss.” Of course, the relationship is not one without controversy. The most recent the young actors had to go through was the leaking of an audio-video recording about Daniel.

The son of Karla Estrada at Rommel Padilla, mysteriously replied with “Huwag na muna sagot-sagot para hindi muna siya ma-pressure.” Daniel, also said, “Basta mag-enjoy lang siya, explore pa niya yung sarili niya, explore pa niya yung mga gusto niyang gawin. “Kasi kapag nagka-boyfriend ka na, marami ka nang puwedeng pagbawalan.” Despite denying rumors on their personal relationship, people see how naturally sweet the two are to each other evne off screen. April 30, 2014 At Daniel’s Dos Concert, the Teen King ang Queen were asked by the audience

to kiss each other. Daniel asks Kathryn: “Kiss mo raw ako! Pwede ba?” Without giving much time for her reply, Daniel kisses her on the cheek. May 2014 Daniel confirms on an interview that he is courting his charming She’s Dating the Gangster co-star. November 15 “Kissing Photo” of Kathryn at Daniel at the airport lobby in Canada circulated. Kathryn clears the issue by saying, “Mahilig si DJ [Daniel] na ginaganyan [pinipisil] ang mukha ko, inaasar niya kasi ang cheeks ko. “So, may mga tao kasi andun na www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Kathryn defends Daniel, “Kami, tinatawanan lang namin. Lalo pa siya [Daniel], wala naman ‘yang pakialam sa mga issues na ibabato. So, wala, okay lang.” December 7 After the special production number in ASAP for Kathryn’s debut album, Robi Domingo asked Kathryn and Daniel, “In the future, may possibility ba na maging kayong dalawa?” Both remained silent and looked at Robi, who segued his question to “I mean, may possibility ba na mag-duet kayong dalawa?” When Robi mentioned how Daniel was all-smiles on stage, Kathryn interjects with a quip, “Proud moment!” In that short segment in ASAP, the duo’s very close relationship is evident. In the coming year, Kathryn at Daniel will keep us guessing the real score between them in remake of the hit teleserye in early millennium, Pangako Sa’yo.

Jake Ejercito Finds New Love Moves on from Andi Eigenmann

ndi Eigenmann is hurting after finding out Jake Ejercito has found his new love.

On December 5, Jake posted a photo of him with a non-showbiz girl who reports identify as KC Del Rosario. He took down the photo after it garnered negative feedback.

Meanwhile, Andi has expressed her hurt over the news through her Instagram and Twitter accounts. On her Twitter account, Andi released a statement which she later deleted. Andi said she’s “hurting so much.” A tweet also said that “I said my piece. I am most definitely hurting so much. And it kills me everyday to see how happy they are. But that’s their life.” “Everyday I deal with people judging me the wrong way telling me I’m this or that, but it’s also part of my beloved profession to deal with it,” “And suck it all up. On the other hand though, it isn’t theirs. So give them the peace of mind they deserve. They’re happy, let them be.” “Don’t worry guys, once I’m happy, I won’t forget to let the world know too.” “I have made my fair share of mistakes, I tried to move on too. Just because I failed, and I am hurting so much, it doesn’t mean that” “we should take away their happiness www.filipinostarmagazine.com

too. There’s always two sides to a story. As much as Jake hurt me, maybe I did too.” Andi later on asked her fans to stop bashing Jake and KC, who she said she has met before. “Let them be happy together. I used to know KC and she’s not a bad person. So if Jake sees that about her, let him.” “Maybe this just goes to show that we aren’t meant to be. As much as it’s hard, I’ll be fine.” “I just want to make it clear to everyone that I have nothing against KC and Jake being together. They’re happy. They’re moving on. Let them be” “Yes it hurts me. But one thing about Jake is that he’s not a public figure and he doesn’t deserve to be bashed this way. More so KC.” “Just because he’s happy now and has moved on with someone else, doesn’t make them bad people.” 9 9

Baby Melts Audience Hearts in Dream Dad J

ana Casandra Agoncillo first had us with her commercial stint with veteran actress, Marita Zobel in a McDonald’s commercial with the “Downtown” musical score. She was Lily, the youngest daughter of the Layers in Honesto. She played little Natalia in Ikaw Lamang.

It is 14 points higher compared to its rival program on GMA “More Than Words” (15.5%). The show’s success continues as its second episode last Tuesday (November 25) soared higher with a national TV rating of 30.5% or 15 points higher than competition (15.7%).

The child actress and small-screen Daddy, Zanjoe Marudo quickly got TV viewers hooked as the pilot episode of ABS-CBN’s newest charming primetime drama series “Dream Dad” won national TV ratings.

It took the production team four long months before finding the right child to portray the role of Baby and the effort was all worth it. And thankfully, her screen chemistry with Zanjoe Marudo matches really well.

Based on data from Kantar Media on its first night, November 24, “Dream Dad” debuted as the number one TV program in the country with a national TV rating of 29%.

He says, “I am very thankful to ABSCBN for entrusting me again with this project. Jana is a joy to work it.” he shared.

Jana, was asked who is her “dream dad”? She quips “Si daddy Jason (biological dad) po at si daddy Zanjoe” Meanwhile, more TV viewers will surely get more hooked in “Dream Dad” as Baste (Zanjoe) struggles to choose between the woman he loves the most and his family.

Jake Cuenca

No Regrets After Last Bench Show

“At least you guys can talk about me, I really appreciate that.” Jake tells us that this was his swan song from modeling underwear ergo, he had to at least give the most daring piece a whirl. “Bago ko pa ginawa ang fashion show na yun, in-announce ko na this is my last prod. “And you know what, I have no regret.

onths after the criticisms Jake Cuenca received from his performance at The Naked Truth: The Bench Denim and Underwear Fashion Show he has no plans on walking in his underwear again. After the show, Jake flew to New York and stayed in the city for more than a month that’s why the press couldn’t reach him then for a reaction on the flak he received from social media. The Naked Truth is the last time Jake as a Bench endorser will walk in his underwear. Jake reminds his bashers and haters, “Just spell my name right. “Whatever news there, it was the loudest ovation of my life. Thank you so much sa lahat ng taong tumili sa akin noong Bench. “And to everyone who hated it, on Twitter, Instagram, and anything, well, thank you for spelling my name right. 12

“Yung audience participation naman noong gabing yun was amazing. “It is the largest one among the Bench fashion show that I did, even with finale and all that. “So, I wanna thank all the fans and everyone who went to the Bench fashion show. “And again, thank you to everyone who made the fashion show trend noong ini-air sa ABSCBN. Thank you for making me trend.” Really? The stint last September was the last one? “I’ve done everything already. “Yung ginawa kong huling fashion show, how can you top that? Tell me how? “Tell me and probably I’ll do it.” Jake laughed when somebody pointed out that he was wearing nothing at all! He says, “Anything more than that could be immoral and very inappropriate, so that’s it.” www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Jake is still very much a Bench endorser. “One thing naman, for sure, that’s my last fashion show but I’m not leaving Bench. “Bench is still my family. “I still owe Bench my career kasi kung hindi dahil sa Bench, baka wala ako sa kinatatayuan ko ngayon. “I’m not leaving Bench, it’s just my last underwear fashion show. But I can still do the fashion show, but not on my underwear.”

Luis Manzano

Undecided on Running for Public Post

Aside from his stint as VJ for the music channel MYX, Manzano is host of the reality talent tilt, “The Voice of the Philippines.” “I’ve spoken to some Batangueños about it,” said Manzano, Santos’ son with TV host Edu Manzano. “I’ve even talked with my mom, dad and Tito Ralph. They never told me what to do, they merely listened.” Santos is married to Sen. Ralph Recto, with whom she has another son, Ryan Christian.

ctor-TV host Luis Manzano, admits to being offered to run for two positions in Batangas where his mother, Vilma Santis-Recto is the current governor. Luis is still undecided if he will seek public office in 2016. “But if I did run,” says Luis, 33, “I’d have to focus on the campaign— which would be hard with my current schedule.”

The TV host said Santos and Recto didn’t even have to tell him the pros and cons. “I know what they deal with every day,” he pointed out. “For me, it is a form of giving back. Some politicians equate their position with money. They miss the whole point, which is to serve.” He said that his mother, a public servant for almost 20 years now, had to sacrifice a lot. “She used to earn so much more,” he stressed. “I believe that a self-made person is always a better candidate for public service than one who simply wants to make money in office.” Luis affirms that he still is not content

with what he has achieved. I’m still not happy with what I have; I want to give my future family a comfortable life… I don’t mind living simply, either. My dream, when I retire, is to live in a beach house and become a dive master. Angel Locsin, Luis current girlfriend, supports the actor in his decisions. “She’s very supportive. She was with me when I had a talk with my mom and Tito Ralph. People in Batangas jokingly call her my first lady.” If Luis enters politics and leaves entertainment it’ll be a huge pay cut for him. Angel will probably earn more than he does. “She already makes more than I do. A host is never given the same rate as a leading lady. It’s something that Angel has worked very hard for. I told her that, the way she has cared for her name, her brand, she deserves even more.” “Angel is scheduled to do “Darna” and another movie with my mom. I want her to maximize all these opportunities. If we get married, I want her to relax, even just for a year.”

Joan Rivers Will Details Revealed

oan Rivers died in a New York City hospital Sept. 4 at the age of 81.

The medical examiner’s office said it found no obvious medical error and that the manner of death was “therapeutic complication,” indicating that death is an accepted possibility of the procedure she was undergoing. Her daughter, Melissa Rivers, told ABC News, "We continue to be saddened by our tragic loss and grateful for the enormous outpouring of love and support from around the world. We have no further comment.” "My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh," she said in a

statement. "Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon." Details of the iconic comedian's will were revealed after it was filed in Manhattan Surrogate's Court and, not surprisingly, Rivers earmarked a portion of her fortune—estimated by some to be as much as $150 million—to a number of charitable causes, including the New York-based God's Love We Deliver. Rivers competed (and won) The Celebrity Apprentice for the nonprofit, which prepares and delivers meals to people in need who are too ill and infirm to leave the house or buy the necessary ingredients for a nutritious meal. According to a copy of the will obtained by Page Six, Joan's will also included money for California's Guide Dogs for the Blind, the Jewish Guild for the Blind in Manhattan, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Jewish Home and Hospital Federation of Manhattan and The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Melissa Rivers was named an executor of her mom's estate and given "the broadest and most absolute permissable direction" over the late entertainer's fortune. Joan left Melissa all over her tangible property and beneficiaries including grandson Cooper, niece Caroline Waxler and nephew Andrew Waxler were provided for via a blind trust. She also left sums to her publicist Scott Currie and assistants Jocelyn Pickett and Sabrina Lott Miller, but no specific inheritance

amounts were mentioned in the will. Brief mention is made in the will of possible litigation against the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic, where Joan had an upper-gastric endoscopy and a laryngoscopy when she suffered cardiac arrest on Aug. 28. She died Sept. 4 after being taken off life support. The clinic was cited for a number of infractions in a report released last month by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, including failing to properly monitor Joan's vital signs. Melissa's attorneys said in a statement that she was "terribly disappointed" by the findings and understandably "outraged by the misconduct and mismanagement now shown to have occurred before, during and after the procedure." Joan's legacy lives on, however, the author and comedienne now nominated posthumously for a Grammy, Best Spoken Word Performance for the audiobook of her latest memoir,Diary of a Mad Diva. "I am beyond excited for my mother! @theGRAMMYS Best Spoken Word nominee @Joan_Rivers," Melissa tweeted upon hearing the news.

Eddie Redmayne’s Portrayal of Hawking is His Own heard it was breathtaking. I knew myself well enough to know that if I watched it I'd try to steal little bits." Redmayne, 32, plays Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.

While he was making his own film about the famous physicist, Eddie Redmayne has said he decided not watch Benedict Cumberbatch's 2004 portrayal of Stephen Hawking. "I thought long and hard about it, " Redmayne said. "I

The film follows the professor's life at Cambridge University in the early 1960s, when he meets his first wife Jane Wilde, played by Felicity Jones, and is diagnosed with motor neuron disease and given two years to live. Redmayne's friend Cumberbatch played the scientist in BBC TV film Hawking in 2004, for which he received a Bafta nomination for best actor. Redmayne, whose own portrayal is being tipped for

an Oscar nomination next month, said he has yet to see his friend, Cumberbatch's film, but that he planned to watch it soon. He added that they had recently discussed about what it was like for them to meet the real Stephen Hawking, who is now 72. Redmayne first met Hawking at the scientist's Cambridge home last year, just a few days before he started shooting The Theory of Everything. The actor had already started four months of research which included meeting people with motor neuron disease. "He'd gone from icon to idol status in my mind by this point," the actor said. "He has a real force of

charisma and humor and incisive wit and a sense of mischief. I describe him as a lord of misrule. Even though it's difficult for him to communicate he's absolutely in charge of a room." Redmayne said that they exchanged "maybe eight or nine sentences" in three hours because Hawking communicates by using a muscle near his eye to pick out letters on a screen. The actor said he'd pointed out that they both had birthdays close to each other in January and they were both Capricorns. "[Stephen] looked at me and then he looked at his screen and spent about 10 minutes responding. And then in his iconic voice he said: 'I am an astonomer, not an astrologer.'"

Ryan Gosling Performs Stunts with No Double for Nice Guys

yan Gosling was seen performing dangerous looking stunts for his upcoming film Nice Guys. The new dad shot an action scene in which his character, a private investigator, lands on the hood of a moving car, then slides off of it and tackles a guy running in front. The actor was also sporting a bloody bandage on his hand. In The Nice Guys, is set in Los Angeles in the 1970s, Gosling plays a private investigator that looks into the mysterious death of a fading porn star. The movie is set for release in 2016. Gosling’s character is clad in an amazing a tan-colored suit jacket and pants and a bright blue, pinstriped shirt and replete with ‘70s-style mustache plus soul patch!—The movie also stars Kim Basinger, Russel Crowe and Matt Bomer.

Gosling insisted that he does have a stunt double that the producers had to call an insurance company to make sure he would be covered. He wasn’t asked to perform the stunts himself. And here are some cool inside production secrets: Not only was Gosling wearing protective padding underneath his suit, but the car that he jumped on was actually built to drop and precompress to absorb hits, so that the actor did not have to bear the brunt of the fall, the witness added. And, as you probably guessed, his bandage and blood are both fake. The Nice Guys began production in October, more than a month after Gosling and girlfriend and actress Eva Mendes, 40, welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Esmeralda. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Aiza and Liza Nuptials in U.S.

iza Seguerra revealed that she is getting married with her girlfriend Liza Diño on January 8, 2015.

According to Aiza, the venue will be in California, USA, because Liza is a permanent resident of the state already, aside from the fact that it will be legal and that same sex marriage is permitted there. It was found out that the two met when they were still students, but their relationship ended when Liza left for the US. When Liza came back to the Philippines recently, their relationship continued again. And it started with Liza texting Aiza first. “I just texted, sabi ko, I’m here in Manila. She replied agad, yung pagkikita namin wouldn’t be that special if dun pa lang sa texting namin sa isa’t isa, she was already.. nire-recall niya yung mga parang mga nangyari samin in the past. Nagso-sorry siya, ako rin, tapos nagkita kami January 8 sa Chololate Kiss sa UP,” Liza said. The teenager also narrated that Aiza first talked their parents and they themselves became witnesses of the engagement. Last Friday, Aiza proposed to Liza in the middle of a play at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman after their 1-year of being together. Among the attendees are the Atayde family (Sylvia Sanchez, husband Art with children Ria and Arjo), who flew in the States early December. Liza relays that she and her partner are very hands on 22

the details of their wedding. “Basta kami, we’re very specific with what we want. Si ‘Groomsy’ na ang tawag ko sa kanya [Aiza], siya kasi yung partikular, e. The wedding motif will be mostly earth tones. “Earth tones, pero siyempre I love the flamingo. That’s one of the things I’m very passionate about. That’s also one thing that describes us both so may touch of red.” The engagement ring Aiza gave to her girlfriend, according to some, cost around P750,000. “I never experienced being proposed to. I never experienced going down the aisle na talagang buong pamilya. I got married in Las Vegas, so talagang it was very different” says, Liza.

Alex Gonzaga is the New Inday Bote I n a recent teaser in ABS-CBN reveals the gregarious Alex Gonzaga as the millennial’s Inday Bote.

Inday Bote began as a popular komik novel by Pablo S. Gomez. It follows the story of a poor young woman who is maltreated by her stepfamily and is forced to work collecting used bottles for cash. In one of the bottles, she finds dwarves trapped by an evil queen. In exchange for freedom, the dwarves promise Inday Bote protection and wishes.

Inday Bote was initially made into a film in 1985 which was top billed by Diamond Star, Maricel Soriano, William Martinez and Richard Gomez. Alex said there is pressure for her to live up to the expectations of the network and audience. “May pressure pero hindi ko na lang iniisip yun kasi ang hirap nun dahil ang original talaga ay si Ms. Maricel, Diamond Star, kaya pag iisipin mo yun, forever ka na lang mape-pressure,” she said.

The young actress said it’s a dream come true to work with Vice and director Wenn Deramas.

“Ako talaga gusto kong makasama si Vice and si Direk Wenn sa pelikula. Nakakatuwa na kasama ako sa project na ito at nakatrabaho ko yung buong cast. Sobrang thankful ako kay Lord, sa ABS-CBN and kay Direk Wenn,” she said. “The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin” and other MMFF entries will grace the big screen starting Christmas Day, December 25.

Also part of the comedy series are Kian Cipriano and Cebuano actor Matteo Guidicelli. “Story conference pa lang, sobrang saya na kaya I’m very excited talaga. Yung story ng ‘Inday Bote’ is very light and masaya siyang gawin,” she said. Meanwhile, Alex is part of the 2014 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) official entry “The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin” starring Tom Rodriguez, Richard Yap and comedian Vice Ganda. 24

Lutong Nanay: Healthy Fried Rice By: Zeala Cortes Most people probably don’t associate the words “healthy” and “fried”, let alone use them in the same sentence or even in the same title! By switching around a few ingredients and putting emphasis on all natural ingredients, this favorite side dish can actually be a healthy main course on its own. This can be a great go-to in a time crunch and a great way to finish up left-overs. 4 cloves crushed garlic Ingredients 1/2 sesame oil 1 tsp. soy sauce 2 pcs. naturally smoked sausages Chopped onion leeks cut into cubes 1 egg 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables 4 cups day old parboiled rice 2 tbsp. egg whites, well beaten 2 tsp. oil Directions

Add Himalayan salt and pepper to taste. Lastly, add in the onion leeks and eggs. Turn off the stove. Serve and enjoy with crispy natural bacon. It will also go well with soy chicken.

In a non-stick pan, pour 1 tsp. oil and fry the well beaten egg and egg whites. Let it cool, then chop and set aside.

Nanay Notes:

Using the same pan, in medium heat, add the other 1 tsp. of oil and cook the cubed sausages for 5 minutes. Add the crushed garlic. After 2 minutes add 4 cups of rice. Mix well for 2 minutes. Add in the mixed frozen vegetables, soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook for another 7 minutes by mixing with a wooden spoon.

This version is much healthier as all the ingredients are natural. Chinese sausages is often used for this dish which is very high in chemical preserves and MSG. The traditional starchy jasmine rice is also replaced with a touch of sesame oil and parboiled rice.

November HOROSCOPE ASTROTWINS, ASTROLOGY FORECAST After December 15th 2014 it’s possible that you make an important decision or tackle a situation or that something inevitable happens to you, beyond your control. Starting now, success will come through collaborations and social or sentimental relationships. Your superiors will be benevolent and chance will be by your side. Try to avoid risks and excesses, especially during the Holidays.

In the middle of the winter, December 2014 will be a hot month for Leos! It will be a large-scale display of forces, which will result in important events. Emotions will be extremely strong and their strength will lead to moving love stories, crazy gestures and dramatic fits rather than to peace and harmony. You’ll have plenty of energy and your morale will be so high that it will almost reach the sky.

Chance might take you by surprise. Anyway, keep an open eye, because there will be opportunities to wait for: don’t miss them! Even more than this: you could reach out to good luck by taking the initiative of a project or of a change you have been dreaming of for some time. There will be glory and bright prospects in store for you, but as regards money you’d better stay cautious.

If your couple life has been marked by difficult moments, austerity or important events, it is now time to check the balance, draw the conclusions and identify the lessons you need to learn. You’ll have chance on your side with the people at a distance, with team projects or studies. Ambition and initiative will intensify in the second part of the month. You’ll need to relax. For Taureans, the most recommended relaxation activities are the ones connected to home, family, the earth and nature.

The whole month of December 2014 will have sentimental potential, but the second part of the month will be particularly favorable to sex and passion. All this under the sign of privacy. It seems that in December 2014 Virgos will not be keen on recognition. Rather than be in the center of attention, you’ll prefer to mind your own daily business.

December will be an ambitious month for Capricorn at the career level. You’d better have more rest, avoid stress and exhaustion. No matter how busy your schedule is, make sure you take short breaks to relax! If something seems to go wrong, you should see a doctor immediately and follow their recommendations.

It will be an exceptional configuration, which promises Geminians good luck with love, fulfillment, positive development in their current relationship, or events that can lead to the birth of a new love. You’ll meet people with whom you’ll be able to accomplish special things in the future or who might support you in what you do and in reaching the objectives you have set for yourself. You’ll find it easy to communicate, to integrate in groups, and the others will be by your side and will support you.

Libra’s sexual instinct will be stimulated, you’ll have lively, more direct romantic tendencies. You’ll be on fire at the slightest suggestion and you wouldn’t say no to a new love. Communication and socialization will play an essential role in Libra’s relationships all throughout December 2014. You’ll do an excellent job when it comes to writing, editing, translating or calculating and you’ll be successful in negotiations, presentations, promotions, launches, sales.

There will be favorable circumstances for shared love, for the appearance of a new affair, a proposal to make the relationship official, a common accomplishment or, in some cases, for a remarkable success of your partner’s. The last weeks of 2014 will be dynamic and productive for Aquarians. You’ll be ambitious and competitive, you’ll have new initiatives, you’ll be successful with your intellectual work and fortunate with contracts, collaborations and associations.

New romantic enthusiasm will be born. You’ll need affection even more, your partner will become the center of the universe, and in your turn you’ll become the top of their priorities. You’ll continuously be in action, just like any hard-working person full of responsibilities. You will be efficient and anything you’ll lay your hands on will be solved easily, fast and faultless. Treat any loans, investments or important acquisitions with caution!

At last, you’ll relax, you’ll regain your appetite for life, suspicion and reserve will go down, and the others will find you more pleasant, more sociable, more tempting. A phase of material responsibilities will begin though, meant to teach Scorpios what wise management of money and financial strategy mean. It will be a good period for medical check-ups and tests.

You’ll have big expectations of your partner or hold an attraction for people that will stand out by their good positions or special qualities. You’ll have two weak points: the tendency towards excesses and the tendency towards risks. If you succeed in imposing a more disciplined and more prudent lifestyle to yourself, you won’ have any problems. Caution, especially during the winter holidays!

Jake Cuenca

Hopes for Another Chance with Ex-Girlfriend “I admit naman I’m not the perfect guy when it comes to relationships. Mahirap kasi malayo. I was away for more than a month. But we’re still friends and I’m hoping she’ll give me another chance... Sana this Christmas, ‘di ba?” says, Jake. Jake Cuenca admits to still having feelings for Filipino-Australian model Chanel Olive Thomas and he admitted he is still hoping they could get back together. In a past interview, Cuenca said he considers his relationship with Thomas as something “for keeps.” “Sobrang saya ko na nakilala ko ‘yung girlfriend ko. I think this one’s for keeps. Super saya. Nag-e-enjoy ako sa relationship kasi kapag walang taping, hindi taping ‘yung pinag-uusapan, hindi pelikula ‘yung pinag-uusapan,” he said at the time. 28

A lot were surprised when Jake revealed on Twitter last month that he is “single again.” Jake also admitted that he got disappointed when his performance in “Ikaw Lamang” was not recognized in the recently concluded Star Awards for TV. “I didn’t win. Nag-expect ako, so I was really disappointed kaya I will never expect again. Move on na lang tayo,” he said. Nonetheless, the actor said he is excited to go back to work after taking up a one-month course on Method Acting in New York. “It gave me a deeper understanding of the craft of acting. One month lang ako roon and it went so fast. Parang back to basics ang nangyari sa akin kasi kinakabahan ako uli,” he said. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

“More than film and TV acting, they respect acting in theater, so I really want to try doing theater this year kasi iba talaga ang response ng live audience. The experience is very inspirational for me and also a confirmation na tama ‘yung personal thoughts and direction ko about acting,” he added. Cuenca said he will try to take up more courses in New York if his schedule permits. “Bitin nga, eh. Gusto ko pa sanang magaral kaso kailangan ko nang bumalik para magtrabaho. Baka next year, mas matagal akong mag-aaral,” he said.
