Atom Araullo resigns as ABS-CBN News reporter As Posted on PEP.ph
A
tom Araullo had been one of the prominent figures strongly opposing the burial of former president Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
This had led to people accusing the ABS-CBN News field reporter to being 'biased' over the subject matter. Given that part of the integrity of a journalist had been to remain on a neutral stand regardless of the issue at hand, it had been confirmed that Atom did choose to resign from his post in TV Patrol, Bandila, and ANC as a reporter to explore other opportunities instead. Head of ABS CBN News and Current Affairs Ging Reyes
released this statement: “Atom Araullo had filed his resignation from his reportorial duties but will remain an on camera talent of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs as an anchor in Umagang Kay Ganda and Red Alert. “He said he arrived at this decision to be able to pursue other endeavors that would also help him grow as a journalist and as a host. “He is aware that the news organization has included him in its future plans and will continue to assign him stories, coverage and events, befitting his position as a journalist.”

ila hindi lang para sa pelikula ang muling pagiging close ng dating magkasintahang sina Gerald Anderson at Bea Alonzo. Kahit tapos nang maipalabas sa sinehan ang How To Be Yours, may ilang pagkakataon pa ring nakikitang magkasama ang dalawang Kapamilya stars. Katulad na lamang ng posts ng

ng dalawa habang ginagawa nila ang pelikulang How To Be Yours ay nagha-“hang out” sila. Gayunman, hindi nila direktang sinasagot ang mga tanong tungkol sa posibilidad na magkaroon muli sila ng romantic relationship. Sabi ni Gerald, “Fall in love again? Pag nangyari yun, nangyari yun. “Di mo kayang pigilan at di mo kayang pilitin ang love, it just comes naturally.” Bagay na sinang-ayunan naman ni Bea, “Yung ganyan, hindi naischedule, hindi natin napaplano ‘yan, so hindi ko alam.”

i Angel Locsin pa rin ang gaganap na Darna na nakatakdang gawing pelikula.
Ito ang sinabi umano ni Star Cinema Managing Director Malou Santos, ayon sa kwento ni Aster Amoyo, veteran entertainment columnist at talent manager. Sa isang artikulo na lumabas sa Pilipino Star Ngayon noong September 1, kinumpirma ni Tita Aster na si Angel pa rin ang gaganap bilang Darna. Unang ginampanan ni Angel ang iconic Filipina super-hero sa teleserye noong 2005. Tinawagan ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Tita Aster upang malaman kung paano sinabi sa kanya ni Ms. Malou na si Angel pa rin ang gaganap na Darna sa pelikula. Matatandaang sinabi na ng Kapamilya aktres na hindi na siya ang gaganap ng super-hero dahil sa kanyang disc bulge at sumailalim pa sa dalawang operasyon. Subalit kahit na lumutang ang pangalan ng mga aktres na posibleng gumanap bilang Darna, wala pa ring kumpirmasyong inilalabas ang Star Cinema kung sino ang bagong Darna.

“Very casual lang ang pagtanong ko, e, kaya I wrote about it,” kwento ni Tita Aster sa PEP sa telepono, noong September 2.
Samantala, binanggit din ni Tita Aster na tila naghahanda na si Angel para sa pelikula lalo pa’t balik ito sa pagsasagawa ng physical activities.
“The mere fact na hindi nag-a-announce ng ibang pangalan, why do they have to wait this long kung talagang hindi si Angel ang gaganap, di ba?” Sabi raw ni Ms. Malou, “For now, walang iba, e.” Dagdag pa ni Tita Aster, “At the same time, inaaway siya ng mga fans. Natatawa siya pero it’s indirectly saying si Angel talaga.” Ang nasabing dinner ay pinangunahan ni ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo Katigbak para sa mga miyembro at officers ng Professional Artists Managers, Inc. at dinaluhan din ng mga ABS-CBN executives at business unit heads.

James Yap gives up on reaching out to son Bimby: ‘Parang walang napapatunguhan.’ As Posted on PEP.ph
I
binulalas ni James Yap ang kanyang hinaing dahil hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin daw niya nakakausap o nakikita ang anak niya kay Kris Aquino na si Bimby Aquino Yap. Sa mga nakaraang interview ni James, binanggit niya ang kagustuhang makita ni Bimby ang bago nitong kapatid na si Baby Michael James. Si Michael James ang anak ng PBA superstar sa kanyang Italian girlfriend na si Michela Cazzola.
Pahayag ni James sa panayam niya sa radio program ng DZRH na Showbiz Talk Ganern noong September 1, “Sinabi ko nga yun na sana makita niya ang baby brother niya. “Pero ganun talaga. Ang iniisip ko kasi, magkapatid sila; paglaki nila, magkakilala sila. “Why not, di ba? Mabuting makita niya ang baby brother niya. “Sinabi ko naman talaga na anytime, kung gusto niyang makita. “Sana magkaroon siya ng time.” GIVING UP. Hindi ba gumawa ng paraan si James na makausap si Bimby at makipagcoordinate kay Kris para makasama niya ang kanilang anak? Malungkot na pahayag niya, “Wala, e, hindi ko pa nakakausap. “Walang chance, walang time, hindi ko nasabi sa kanya noon na magkakaroon na siya ng kapatid.” Himutok pa ni James, “Mahirap, e. Meron kasing nangyari before na medyo hindi maganda rin. So, wala. “Kumbaga, sa totoo lang, honestly, parang ano… gumive-up na rin ako. “Kasi 10

napapatunguhan, e. “Ang effort mo, lahat, parang hindi nadidevelop. “Nag-decide na lang ako na, tutal magkaroon din siya [Bimby] ng isip, lalaki rin siya at magkakaroon din siya ng isip sa sarili niya, hintayin na lang natin yung time.” Hihintayin na lang daw ni James ang tamang panahon na malaman ni Bimby ang buong katotohanan at maintindihan ng anak ang lahat ng mga pangyayari. Saad pa niya, “Mahirap, mahirap, e. Kung pipilitin mo, medyo gugulo lang. “Ngayon ko lang sinabi na nag-give up na rin ako. “Ipinagdadasal ko na lang na sana magkaroon ng time na makausap ko siya at maka-bonding ko rin kahit papa’no, at makita niya ang kapatid niya.” NEW BABY. Sa kabilang banda, masaya namang ikinuwento ni James na personal www.filipinostarmagazine.com
nilang inaalagaan ni Michela ang kanilang anak na si Michael James. “Kami talaga. Kasi si Michela, talaga sobrang hands-on. “Ayaw niya kasi talaga ipahawak sa ibang tao, kaya wala kaming kinuhang yaya. “Kaya puyat-puyat kami!” natatawa niyang sabi. Nagawa naman daw niya ito noon kay Bimby, pero iba raw ngayon. Ani James, “Nung time namin ng ex ko, siyempre hands-on din kami. “Pero iba ito ngayon kasi dalawa lang talaga kami nag-aalaga; pati sa pagpalit ng diapers, lahat.” Ayaw pa raw muna ni Michela na ipakita ang pictures ng baby, baka pagkatapos daw ng binyag. Balak daw nilang sa December pabinyagan ang kanilang anak, pero wala pa silang napiling mga ninong at ninang.

Paul Soriano excited to see first baby with wife Toni Gonzaga As Posted on PEP.ph
M
agkahalong excitement at kaba ang nararamdaman ng film director and producer na si Paul Soriano ngayong malapit nang isilang ng asawa niyang si Toni Gonzaga ang kanilang unang anak. Pahayag ni Paul sa panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), “Of course, I’m very, very excited. “It’s our first child and I’m anxious and I can’t wait to meet him. “It’s literally less than a month away so this is, I think, gonna be the best Christmas. “This is gonna be the best way to end my year. I’m just super excited.” Isa si Direk Paul sa naimbitahan upang gumawa ng isang short film para sa launch ng Globe Independent Film festival na ginanap sa Bonifacio High Street sa Taguig City, noong September 1. TONI’S PREGNANCY. Pinaghahandaan na raw ng dalawa ang araw ng panganganak ni Toni.
“I think Home Sweetie Home pa rin, she still tapes because she’s in a studio. “I think she’s gonna be resting very soon.” Suportado naman ni Paul ang desisyon ni Toni na magpahinga mula sa kanyang showbiz commitments upang mag-focus sa pag-aalaga sa kanilang baby. “I want her to take as long as she wants. “I know her motherly instincts are gonna kick in so there’s really no time table.
PARENTING. Samantala, tinanong na rin ng PEP kung ano ang magiging parenting style ni Paul sa kanilang unang anak. Aniya, “Well, I think I’m definitely gonna be as protective as I can. “I wanna give my son a lot of freedom also to exercise his own creativity, his own voice. “I’ll do my best to guide him, to give him the tools that he needs to be successful as possible.” Patuloy pa niya, “That is kind of my new objective in life: to give my wife and of course, my son the best possible life I can give them and to always make sure that God is the center of our family and just guide him and be there for him as much as I can.”
“I told her that, ‘You rest, take care of our little boy and I will be the one to work and provide for the family.’”
Sino naman kaya ang magiging mas istrikto sa kanila ni Toni?
Dagdag pa niya, ‘We’ll see what happens since it’s a first time for us, e.
Sagot ng director/producer, “Maybe si Toni mas strict, kasi me, I just like to have fun, I like to be a kid.
“So we don’t know if she’s gonna work right away or she’ll take a couple of months off.
“I’m actually excited kasi parang magkakaplaymate ako ngayon, e.
“But I think, the rest of the year will
“I have a little boy now to play with.”
Saad ng direktor, “The preparations are… well, you can never really prepare because you don’t know how exactly what’s gonna happen. “But of course, we’re talking to our parents and they’re giving us a lot of advice, and there’s nothing like being in the moment, so we’ll see what happens.” Sa ngayon, patuloy pa rin sa kanyang hosting stint si Toni sa ABS-CBN para sa reality show naPinoy Big Brother. Ayon kay Direk Paul, nalalapit na rin ang pansamantalang pag-alis ni Toni sa showbiz upang paghandaan ang kanyang panganganak. “She’s still doing Pinoy Big Brother, she’s hosting, but her mga movies, tapings, she had to stop. 14

E
xcited si Regine Velasquez sa matagal na pagbabakasyon dito sa Pilipinas ng kanyang stepdaughter na si Leila Alcasid sa 2017. Ngunit nagpahayag din siya ng pagaalala sa posibilidad na pumasok sa showbiz ang panganay na anak nina Ogie Alcasid at Michelle Van Eimeren. Pahayag ng Asia’s Songbird, “I'm actually very excited kasi may relationship na kami. “I think, yung mga last two trips nila, medyo nakapag-bonding kaming dalawa, but she always likes me kasi. “Saka gustung-gusto ko rin siya kasi ang ganda-ganda niya. “Nakakatuwa siya, ang bait niya, ang bait-bait ng batang yun talaga. Sobrang mabait. “So excited ako, but at the same time, kinakabahan din ako kasi siyempre, nagwo-worry din ako kay Michelle, kasi I know.
“You know, it’s hard, so nagwo-worry ako kay Michelle. “Nagwo-worry ang asawa ko kay Michelle kasi yun ang life niya, ang family niya, tapos suddenly nasa college, tapos ngayon biglang pupunta dito for a year.” Patuloy ni Regine, “So, medyo concern lang kami nang konti kay Michelle, pero okey lang sa kanya. “Sabi ni Michelle, ‘I think Leila needs to be with her father and she needs to bond with him again.’ “I mean, they see each other, but not like this na every day mong nakikita. “And also, she wants so much to have a relationship with her brother [Nate]. “Nalulungkot siya na parang baka ‘He'll forget me. I will really be sad.’ “Yun ang mga angst niya in life.” Sa 2017 daw nakatakdang dumating sa
Pilipinas si Leila. “Hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang type niya na gawin. Hinahayaan muna namin siya, but I’m excited,” sabi ni Regine. Nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Regine nang ipakilala bilang new ambassador ng PLDT Smart Watch ang kanyang anak na si Nate noong, September 7. Papayag ba siyang pumasok sa showbiz si Leila? Sagot ni Regine, “Ay, ako ayoko, ayoko siyang mag-showbiz. “Gusto ko magbakasyon na lang siya, maghila-hilata dun o kung gusto niya mag-school. “I mean, I hope you don't mind na parang… natatakot lang ako na magsoshowbiz siya. “Kasi natatakot ako na teritoryo namin yun na mag-asawa and yet we won't be able to protect her because it's so different now. “It really is and I was telling my husband na, as much as possible, let her enjoy her private life 'coz our world is really different. “Kung ako ang tatanungin mo, ayoko.”

abor si Lea Salonga sa paggamit ng medical marijuana upang makatulong sa paggamot ng mga karamdaman, kabilang na ang mga nakamamatay na sakit.
Ipinahayag ito ng Broadway star sa kanyang Facebook account noong September 2. Tumaon ang post ni Lea sa balita ngayong araw tungkol sa mga sinunog na kumpol-kumpol na halamang marijuana sa Benguet. Mismong si Philippine National Police Chief Ronald dela Rosa ang nanguna sa operasyon, kaugnay ng kampanya ng PNP at ng gobyerno laban sa droga. Sa nasabing Facebook post ni Lea, ibinahagi niya ang isang YouTube video tampok ang isang in-depth investigation tungkol sa marijuana sa States. Ang video ay ang investigative report ni Dr. Sanjay Gupta para sa CNN na tinalakay ang masamang naidudulot ng marijuana at magandang naidudulot ng medical marijuana sa mga sakit. Itinampok din sa video ang ilang kaso ng mga taong may nakamamatay na sakit pero nailigtas ang buhay dahil sa paggamit ng medical marijuana, kabilang ang isang batang babaeng may rare case ng epilepsy. Caption ni Lea: “This is a very fair, balanced report by CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Outlined are not just what’s good, but also what’s bad about marijuana.” Paalala ni Lea sa kanyang post, “This is not an advertisement for its use by any means.”
Lea Salonga in favor of medical marijuana: ‘Keep an open mind.’ As Posted on PEP.ph Sabi pa ng The Voice Kids coach, ang gusto niyang iparating ay ang benepisyong naidudulot ng medical marijuana. “However, one of this report’s focuses is its medical use. The nonpsychotic part. “The part that ended up saving a little girl with severe epilepsy named Charlotte Figgy. The strain was actually named after her.” Pahayag ng international singer-actress, “So I would love to see medical marijuana (low THC, high CBD) available here.” Paglilinaw niya, “Yung hindi nakakabangag. Yung nakakabuti lang sa ating mga mamamayan. “Yung nakakatulong lang sa mga pasiyente ng cancer, epilepsy, AIDS. “Keep very strict governmental restrictions please. “However, keep an open mind.”

Rachelle Ann Go pulled out from Divas concert due to major project As Posted on PEP.ph
W
e bring bad news: Rachelle Ann Go won’t be joining Divas Live In Manila.
Rachelle Ann was supposed to perform at the concert with fellow Cornerstone talents Angeline Quinto, Kyla, Yeng Constantino, and KZ Tandingan.
The concert is scheduled to happen on November 11, 2016 at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. In a previous interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), Rachelle Ann said the producers of the West End production of her current musical Les Miserables was very supportive of her plan to hold a concert in the Philippines. The singer told PEP, ‘In fairness, sabi nila, ‘Sige go, do your thing.’ Yun actually, kinausap ako ni Cameron [Mackintosh], sabi niya, ‘You know what, what you should do, do concerts here. Then go back to London.’ Parang feeling ko siya yung nagpaplano ng career ko. Nakakatuwa, supportive.’ A statement about her exit from the show was released last September 1, through Cornerstone Talents’ official Instagram account. Although some fans might feel sad about her exit, Rachelle Ann also has good news to share. The 30-year-old singer/actress is said to have accepted a major project that led to her being pulled out from the show. Here is the full statement: ‘Hello everyone. We have good and bad news. The bad: Rachelle Ann Go will no longer be part of the ‘DIVAS LIVE IN MANILA’ concert. The good: Rachelle Ann can’t make it to the concert anymore because a major project came her way. Trust us: It’s the kind of offer you can’t--and don’t--refuse. We can’t tell you yet, but when the cat’s out of the bag, you’ll understand why she had to pull out. Stay tuned for announcements! #DIVASLiveInManila #RachelleAnnGo’ Details about Rachelle Ann’s new project is yet to be released. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Rihanna Coyly Reacts to Drake’s Touching MTV VMA Speech: “I Love You for That” Included in that group of “beautiful spirits” were her presenters for the evening, Naomi Campbell, Mary J. Blige, Tracee Ellis Ross and—of course—Drizzy. “Thank you to the beautiful @ iamnaomicampbell @therealmaryjblige @ traceeellisross for your kind words!” she continued. “@champagnepapi your speech was so touching and I love you for that!” There’s that L-word again!
A
nd the Drake and Rihanna romance wheel continues to turn...
After the rapper took the world by storm with his public declaration of love for the pop star on the MTV VMA stage, Rihanna took to social media to express her gratitude to all of the people who shaped her unforgettable night—including her dapper man. “I have the most incredible people in my life! My family, friends, loved ones, my fans, my team!!! All gifted beautiful spirits! And I’m so grateful that God has precisely and flawlessly arranged our paths to meet at each other!” she began in a lengthy message on Instagram.
If you somehow missed one of the thousand replays of Drake’s touching speech, enjoy this recap: After staying hidden virtually the entire night, the star walked up on stage in a tuxedo holding Rihanna’s MTV Video Vanguard Award for the ceremony’s grand finale. After commending Rihanna for her unwavering artistic vision and sense of self, her standout style and timeless hits, he publicly declared on national television that he’s been in love with her for almost a decade. “She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger

than me,” he said, stunning everyone watching. “She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry.” “All in all....Best night ever!!!” RiRi concluded her Instagram post. “I’m a lucky girl!!!” You can say that again! The pair appears to have kicked their typically private relationship into high gear. After a sushi date at Nobu in New York City, the couple jetted off to Miami, where they were spotted at E11even nightclub. Judging by the look of E!’s exclusive photos, there was definitely some love in the air. Eyewitnesses tell E! News that Drake and Rihanna spent the night “kissing, hugging and dancing close to one another” at their VIP table. “Rihanna and Drake were happy, not hiding and totally affectionate in front of everyone. At one point they were kissing and holding each other,” another source told E! News. “They seemed very comfortable with each other. Besides for when he was performing, they didn’t leave each other’s side.” The following night, Drake got the songstress on stage during his concert and managed to plant a kiss on his leading lady, igniting a frenzy in the observant crowd.

A
licia Keys’ self-worth isn’t based on other people’s opinions.
The singer’s choice to go makeup free has been met with quite a reaction, and during her September 2’s appearance on Today she took the time to explain that, positive or negative responses aside, she’s just being herself. Refuting the notion that her actions stem from an aversion to cosmetics, she said ahead of her performance, “Look, I love makeup too. It’s about how you feel. It’s about who you are. It’s about just being who you are and not letting anyone tell you who you should be. Even this conversation shows our obsession of the standard we hold women.”
Alicia Keys Inspires Today Anchors to Remove Their Makeup Guthrie, admitting to the co-anchors that her ability to step out sans makeup didn’t happen overnight. Instead, it took years of of growing as an artist for her to get to a place where she was content in her own skin.
The Grammy-winning mother of two then gave anchors Tamron Hall, Billy Bush and Al Roker the confidence to remove their own makeup on national TV. And that’s no easy feat for the morning show broadcasters who appear in front of an audience of thousands each day.
“The biggest difference is my knowing of myself and the ability to really be comfortable exactly as I am, who I am,” the 35-year-old said, continuing, “It’s hard to get to that place. I think that’s something we battle with through our whole lives.”
Keys expanded on the topic in her conversation with Matt Lauerand Savannah
For now, Alicia wants others to know, “We each have something that no one else has and it’d be so amazing to just embrace each
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston Break Up
T
aylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston have called it quits, E! News confirms.
became official after the 2016 Met Gala, where they were spotted dancing the night away. After getting together, they traveled the world together. Tom flew to Nashville to meet T.Swift’s parents and friends, and then the “Style” songstress made her way to the U.K. where she spent time with Tom’s parents. From there the very public couple flew to Rome, where they packed on the PDA at Coliseum and enjoyed romantic dinner dates in Italy. But because Tom had to film Thor: Ragnarok, the couple traveled to Australia where Taylor visited a local children’s hospital and Tom worked.
“Taylor felt he wanted to take the relationship to be too public,” a source close to the situation tells us, “and she was not happy about it and thought it was too much publicity.”
Tom also attended Taylor’s annual Fourth of July party, where he hung out with many of her A-list friends (and wore an I Heart T.S. shirt while doing so).
The couple, who made headlines after photos of them kissing on a beach in Rhode Island went public in June, dated for about three months. Taylor and Tom
Because of the swiftness (pun intended) of their relationship, some wondered whether their relationship was for the headlines. But Tom denied those rumors to The Hollywood Reporter. “Well, um,” he answered, www.filipinostarmagazine.com
other how we are.” She added, “I think the most important thing is that you do what feels good for you. It’s not about anything else.” Food for thought, indeed. As Posted on Eonline.com apparently with a laugh. “How best to put this? How best to put this? That notion is— look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we’re very happy. Thanks for asking. That’s the truth. It’s not a publicity stunt.” In fact, a source told E! News that Taylor and Tom fell head over heels for each other. “Taylor and Tom are in love with each other. He told her she is the kind of woman he wants to spend his life with,” an insider told us. “They have gotten very close. She is enjoying the time off from working. She has been writing during her travels, and Tom has been an inspiration in her music.” But as quickly as their relationship heated up, it started to die down. The “Out of the Woods” singer and The Night Manager actor were seen less and less and public, save for a dinner datehere and there. Perhaps all they wanted was a little more privacy in their relationship, or maybe it was a warning sign. Us Weekly was the first to report the breakup. As Posted on Eonline.com 23

I’ve played with these guys and I know I’m going to enjoy this set. True enough, they delivered. You have two good oneman-band performers join to warm up the audience with familiar songs from various genres, you get an engaged crowd, ready to rock for the main event.
No Strings Attached by Kimwell del Rosario
Throwback Sessions: Wency Cornejo, Introvoys with Perf de Castro of Rivermaya
Group photo during press conference of Throwback Sessions: Wency Cornejo and Introvoys with Perf de Castro of Rivermaya. Produced by Innovisions Events and Marketing
Introvoys started a bit slow but immediately picked up the pace by the end of the 1st song. By the time you get to the chorus of the 2nd song, the crowd starts to sing along. By the third song, you see a little bit of head banging now. Now off we go. Then Wency is introduced and starts with his signature song Mangarap Ka. This takes it up a notch. Wency really knows how to engage his audience. I love it when he said to the crowd to stop looking at their phones while recording the event and focus on the stage where they are playing LIVE. Perf comes on and sings Rivermaya classics. This is where you see people in the crowd doing “air guitar” playing (pretending to play a guitar). This is how guitar players “lip sync”. That’s how iconic Perf’s guitar lines were, enthusiasts know them by heart. When all the main artists were on stage, they played familiar cover songs starting with VST of the 70’s and then North American 80’s and 90’s hits. It gets the crowd dancing and jumping.
You know a song is a hit when you have a room full of people that starts screaming at the first few notes of the intro. You then hear almost everybody in that room singing the chorus part of the song as if they were the ones who wrote it. That’s what happened song after song during the Introvoys with Perf and Wency concert last August. 7. The venue was reminiscent of Manila club scene in the 90’s. Everybody’s having a good time, drinking their favorites, singing along with occasional head banging to the music of great Pinoy Rock bands. The size of the room gave a kind of intimacy with the artists. It gave a sense of being part of the concert, rather than just spectators. Introvoys, Afterimage (Wency was lead singer) and Rivermaya (Perf was lead guitarist) were the “it” bands during my high school and college days so I was expecting the crowd to be mostly around that age bracket (not too young, not too old). I was quite surprised that it was a 24
good mix of older and younger batches. Their music was, I guess, more popular than I thought. I arrived when Raffy and Lamar were preparing for their set. They were the last opening act before the main artists.
The whole night was jam packed with songs everybody in the room can relate to. Everybody was enjoying and for me this is the true mark of a successful event. Kudos to Innovations for making it an affordable and fun filled concert.

egatibo ang resulta ng mga drug test kina Anne Curtis at James Reid.
Ito ang patunay na walang katotohanan ang mga blind item na kumakalat at nag-uugnay sa kanila sa isyu ng mga artistang gumagamit diumano ng mga ipinagbabawal na gamot.
Anne Curtis and James Reid test negative for illegal drugs As Posted on PEP.ph
Inilabas ng Viva Artists Agency (VAA) ang kopya ng resulta ng mga drug test sa kanilang mga contract star at ang official statement tungkol sa isyu: “Unconfirmed reports have surfaced recently linking Viva Artists Agency, Inc. (‘VAA’) artists, Anne Curtis and James Reid, to the illegal use of drugs. “These reports were broadcast on AM radio and published in several tabloids with only an unnamed ‘pusher’ as a source and with no further evidence to support the claim. “In order to address these unfounded rumors, VAA is releasing the results of the drug test that was undertaken by Ms. Curtis and by Mr. Reid last September 3, 2016 at a medical laboratory licensed by the Department of Health (DOH) and accredited with the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB). “As is evident from the attached Drug Test Reports, both Ms. Curtis and Mr. Reid have tested ‘negative’ for Methamphetamine and Tetrahydrocannabinol. “VAA, Ms. Curtis and Mr. Reid, are aware of and give importance to the influence of artists in society as role models to the youth. “Thus, VAA and its artists have taken the initiative to publicize the results to inform the public of the truth and to show support for the government’s campaign against illegal use of drugs.” www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Kris Aquino bids goodbye to ABS-CBN, joins APT Entertainment As Posted on PEP.ph “I perfectly understood- as much as I wanted to believe I was a pillar of the network, everybody is dispensable. “And I say that with no bitterness- just HONESTY. “So to all of you saying please don’t leaveit wasn’t a choice that was just mine to make. I take my share of the responsibility. “And I say that w/ so much gratitude in my heart.”
‘As much as I wanted to believe I was a pillar of the network, everybody is dispensable,’ says Kris Aquino about leaving ABS-CBN, which had been her home network for 20 years. Matapos ang ilang linggong pananahimik, nagsalita na sa unang pagkakataon si Kris Aquino tungkol sa pag-alis niya sa bakuran ng ABS-CBN. Sa kanyang three-part Instagram post nitong madaling-araw ng Lunes, September 12, inilahad ng Queen of All Media ang pangyayari kung bakit hindi na siya mananatili sa Kapamilya network, na naging tahanan niya sa showbiz sa loob ng 20 taon. Sa unang post, ikinuwento ni Kris kung ano ang nangyari matapos ang bakasyon niya sa Hawaii, na halos kasunod ng 26
pamamaalam ng kanyang programa na Kris TV. “We were set to renew our contract February 2016, it was a generous, less demanding agreement but at that time there was a threat to my life we needed to take seriously, I had to regain my health, and I needed time for my family & me. “We didn’t sign then, I went to Hawaii, came back to campaign, then left again. “Our agreement was we’d talk when I got back. “That is the risk of taking time for yourselfwhen you come back there’s no guarantee that a space will be held for you. “We spoke in July but there was no definite show & no assured time frame of my return on air. www.filipinostarmagazine.com
Part 1: I want to tell you our truth & I pray you’ll understand... 20 years ago, I went back to ABS CBN after a year w/ GMA (Star Talk & a Viva produced afternoon talk show). It started w/ Today w/ Kris Aquino & ended w/ Kris Tv. We had a memorable, excellent run. ABS saw me through my worst & my best. I had the chance to be part of career defining shows like TWKA, The Buzz, Game KNB, Deal or No Deal, PGT etc & had iconic movies like Feng Shui & Sukob. We were set to renew our contract February 2016, it was a generous, less demanding agreement but at that time there was a threat to my life we needed to take seriously, I had to regain my health, and I needed time for my family & me. We didn’t sign then, I went to Hawaii, came back to campaign, then left again. Our agreement was we’d talk when I got back. That is the risk of taking time for yourself- when you come back there’s no guarantee that a space will be held for you. We spoke in July but there was no definite show & no assured time frame of my return on air. I perfectly understood- as much as I wanted to believe I was a pillar of the network, everybody is dispensable. And I say that with no bitterness- just HONESTY. So to all of you saying please don’t leave- it wasn’t a choice that was just mine to make. I take my share of the responsibility. And I say that w/ so much gratitude in my heart. ?? REACHING OUT TO APT. Hindi man binanggit ni Kris kung saang network siya lilipat, inanunsiyo niyang magiging bahagi na siya ng APT Entertainment.
Filipino Star Magazine. Vancouver Edition. September, 2016
Ang APT Entertainment ang production house na pag-aari ni Mr. Tony Tuviera, producer ng Eat Bulaga! at Calle Siete at co-producer ng Sunday Pinasaya. Ang mga nabanggit na programa ay pawang napapanood sa GMA Network, kaya hindi na kailangan pang sabihing sa Kapuso network na mapapanood si Kris sa kanyang pagbabalik sa telebisyon. Sa kanyang ikalawang Instagram post, inilahad ni Kris kung paano nagsimula ang pakikipag-ugnayan niya kay Mr. Tuviera at sa APT Entertainment. Ayon kay Kris, ang business manager niyang si Boy Abunda ang unang nakipagusap kay Mr. T. Ito ay tungkol sa planong magkaroon ng mga programa sa digital platform. Sabi ng 45-year-old TV host-actress, “I know you miss my #foodtrips & my #cooking #recipes #roadtrips & #travel... “But maybe my guardian angel in heaven (could it have been you, Mom?) was working overtime & what was an attempt at something new & experimental, evolved into a vision & a presentation that felt perfect for who I am now & for our TV collaboration.”
#roadtrips & #travel... But maybe my guardian angel in heaven (could it have been you, Mom?) was working overtime & what was an attempt at something new & experimental, evolved into a vision & a presentation that felt perfect for who I am now & for our TV collaboration. Mr. T actually remembered coming to our home in Times Street in 1986 to meet my Mom to produce a show for me when I was 15 years old. 30 years after- dumating na ang TAMANG PANAHON. ?? “THANK YOU TO ABS-CBN.” Ang huling bahagi ng kanyang three-part post ay tila pormal na pamamaalam sa kanyang naging home network ng dalawang dekada, ang ABS-CBN. Sabi ni Kris, “This is the 1st & last I shall say about this chapter of my life. “You deserved the true story & I gave you my truth, so that we may all move forward... “So here’s a shoutout of THANK YOU to the Kapamilya Network ABS-CBN for all
that was, and here’s a shoutout of THANK YOU to my new APT family for all that will be. “And most of all my THANK YOU to all of you for allowing me to just be me.” Part 3: My sons & I leave today for a little over a week- advanced making up on my part because I have an exceptionally full work calendar until Christmas. They had so much of me for 4 months- so we’ll be adjusting... When we come back, the unit I’m renting from Tito Manolo & Tita Maritess Lopez in Rockwell will be ready (I believe that is proof enough that there is no bad blood between the owners of my former network & me.) This is the 1st & last I shall say about this chapter of my life. You deserved the true story & I gave you my truth, so that we may all move forward... So here’s a shoutout of THANK YOU to the Kapamilya Network ABS-CBN for all that was, and here’s a shoutout of THANK YOU to my new APT family for all that will be. And most of all my THANK YOU to all of you for allowing me to just be me.
Ang mga nabanggit niyang hashtags ay karaniwang tema ng kanyang dating programang Kris TV. Dagdag ni Kris, “dumating na ang tamang panahon” para sa sinasabi niyang balak noon ni Mr. Tuviera na mag-produce ng show para sa kanya. “Mr. T actually remembered coming to our home in Times Street in 1986 to meet my Mom to produce a show for me when I was 15 years old. 30 years afterdumating na ang TAMANG PANAHON.” Tila ito ang programang tinutukoy ni Kris sa kanyang naunang post kahapon, kung saan sinabi niyang magsisimula na siyang mag-taping para sa kanyang bagong programa sa September 22. Part 2: Where am I now? Boy Abunda reached out to Mr. T- Tony Tuviera on my behalf. I had an excellent experience coproducing My Little Bossings w/ MZET, OctoArts, & APT. Our plan was initially just a digital initiative- I know you miss my #foodtrips & my #cooking #recipes www.filipinostarmagazine.com

SEptember HOROSCOPE ASTROTWINS, ASTROLOGY FORECAST Source: pilipino-express.com Ihanda mo ang sarili sa isang kakaibang buwan. Mapapansin mong marami kang dapat gawin at kulang ang oras mo para gawin lahat iyon. Idagdag mo pa ang “drama� sa isang malapit sa iyo. Huwag kang papatol, sayang lang ang oras. Habaan mo ang pasensya mo.
Naririnig mong nahihirapan ang maraming tao dahil sa mahinang economy ng mundo. Pero iba ka. Bukod tanging malakas kang kumita ngayon dahil maraming may gusto sa pagtatrabaho mo o sa negosyong dala mo. Samantalahin mo ito. Mag-ipon ka.
Stressful ang buwan na ito para sa iyo. Kailangan mong bagalan ang iyong utak at katawan dahil malamang ay humina ang iyong resistensya. Trabaho sa umaga, sa hapon at sa gabi? Hindi ka makina. Magkakasakit ka sa ginagawa mo. Magpunta ka sa spa, relax muna.
Susubukan ka ng isang tao na malapit sa iyo o sa pamilya mo. Kung may tiwala ka sa kaniya, bakit hindi? Pero, kung sa palagay mo ay may duda ka sa kaniyang pagkatao, dedmahin mo. Huwag kang ma-guilty, hahanap siya ng ibang malalapitan.
Kung kilala mo na ang naninira sa iyo. Ipaalam mo sa kaniya. Walang mangyayari kung pababayaan mo dahil balak niya talagang sirain ang iyong reputasyon. Kausapin mo ang iyong abogado dahil may ebidensya ka na laban sa taong iyon.
Madali kang mainip at mabilis kang mainis. Iwasan mo ang madalas na pagrereklamo dahil hindi lang ikaw ang may problema sa buhay. May mga pinapasan din ang mga kasama mo, hindi lang sila kasingingay mo. Lilipas din ang dahilan ng iyong pagka-inis.
May babala sa iyong kalusugan o kaligtasan. Iwasan mo ang pagmamaneho patungo sa malalayong lugar. Mag-ingat ka sa daan lalo na sa pagtawid sa kalsada. Kung nakakaramdam ka ng pagod at hindi ka makatulog, magpunta ka na agad sa doctor mo.
Kung may mga tauhan ka sa trabaho, alagaan mo sila. Walang mangyayari sa negosyo mo kung hindi masaya ang mga empleyado. Kailangan mo silang bigyan ng benepisyo nang hindi ka nila layasan. Kailangan mong mag-invest para pakinabangan mo sila.
Maganda ang pakiramdam mo ngayon pero huwag kang masyadong kampante dahil baka may sumulpot na namang dahilan upang humina ang resistensya mo. May mga pagbabago kang dapat pag-aralan sa mga plano mo sa buhay. Unahin mo ang kalusugan.
Kung may karelasyon ka, may mga pagsubok na darating sa inyong dalawa. Maaaring sa iyo magsimula ito. Kung may gusto kang iba, ipagtapat mo na habang maaga pa. Kapag pinatagal mo, paano na siya? Mahal ka niya kaya huwag mo siyang sasaktan.
May mga ginawa ka noong araw na maaaring pinagsisisihan mo ngayon. Wala ka nang magagawa dahil tapos na iyon. Ang importante, natuto ka na. Huwag mo nang ulitin. Kung sa pamilya mo ginawa ang mali, may panahon pa para ituwid iyon. Dugo ka pa rin nila.
Tapos na ang bakasyon. Tapos na ang pagpapasa-bukas ng mga dapat mong gawin. Kailan ka nagpunta sa doctor mo? Gawin mo na ito sa buwang ito dahil may mga ginawa ka nitong mga nakaraang buwan na puwedeng naka-apekto sa iyong kalusugan.
