Jessy Mendiola spotted inside the car with Diether Ocampo

Jessy Mendiola, who looks like Kristine Hermosa, was caught inside the car with Kristine's ex-husband Diether Ocampo.

And Jessy was visibly enjoying the ride with the hunk actor...

Oh well, that's just one of the scenes of Jessy Mendiola and Diether Ocampo in the ABS-CBN primetime soap "Sabel".

Diether is one of the new additions in "Sabel" and his character already showed up starting last Thursday when he bought all of Sabel's buko pie.

He plays Frederico or Eric, a philantrophist and son of a plastic surgeon (Jaclyn Jose), who's going to be a close friend of Margaret (Rita Avila), the main villain in the story.

The next episodes of Sabel will reveal what really Eric's role is in the life of Sabel.

A new love interest for her perhaps? While Jessy, 18, is like a daughter already to Diether, who's 34, the two also look good together on TV.

Unfortunately, Diether will only have a guest appearance in "Sabel". But definitely he's adding more excitement to the show.

Vic Sotto - Toni Gonzaga movie under Star Cinema in 2011

Comedy Box-Office King Vic Sotto will make a movie again with Star Cinema after 14 long years.

The last time Vic Sotto made a movie under Star Cinema was in 1997, the film "Biyudo Si Daddy, Biyudo Si Mommy", which was a co-production with Vic's M-Zet.

And this 2011, it's happening again as Vic stars in a new Star Cinema-M-Zet film with Toni Gonzaga as his leading lady.

It marks the reunion of Vic and Toni who were co-hosts in Eat Bulaga! before Toni moved to ABS-CBN.

According to an info from toniliciousz.multiply.com, Toni (before she became a star) had her short screen debut in the Vic Sotto-Michael V film "D' Sisters: Nuns of the Above" in 2000.

If you remember, Toni was the first choice to be the leading lady of either Vic or Bong Revilla in the MMFF 2010 topgrosser "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote". So finally in 2011, the team-up is pushing through.

Child star Zaijian Jaranilla will also be part of the new Vic-Toni movie, his 2nd movie but his very first movie appearance since he only lent his voice in the MMFF 2010 entry "RPG Metanoia".

Carla Humphries hot on FHM cover this January 2011

Carla Humphries starts New Year 2011 by posing on the cover of FHM Philippines.

FHM has Carla on its January 2011 issue and she's effortlessly hot there. I almost didn't recognize that it's Carla.

Yeah we've seen that simple pose many times but she's really hot, good enough to help the guys in their bathroom moments.

A former Star Magic talent, Carla was visible in a number of TV5 shows in 2010, but she is yet to get her big break in showbiz.

Will this FHM cover, her first time for a men's magazine, finally give Carla her biggest break this 2011?

Richard Gutierrez also in Boracay now to be with Solenn Heussaff

Richard Gutierrez has chosen the magnificent island of Boracay to have his Holiday break and celebrate the New Year 2011.

He arrived yesterday, and just imagine him enjoying a cold romantic night with "rumored girlfriend" Solenn Heussaff who came there 1 day ahead of him.

Hmmm, that's something good to talk about Richard and Solenn when they come back to Manila.

Richard and Solenn are the loveteam to watch in 2011 as they star in big projects next year. Solenn will be one of Richard's leading ladies in the Valentine 2011 movie "Suddenly, It's Magic" and in the (2nd) TV remake of "Captain Barbel".

With that, Richard is being expected to become the biggest star of 2011 by Inside Showbiz on its January 2011 issue with Chard himself on the cover.

Inside Showbiz was formerly S Magazine.

Jasmine Curtis met her crush Mark Salling in Boracay

Jasmine Curtis' wish to see Glee star Mark Salling in Boracay has been granted.

The new TV5 star is currently at the Discovery Shores in Boracay with actress sister Anne Curtis, celebrity friends Solenn Heussaff, Carla Humphries and Anne's boyfriend Erwan Heussaff.

When Jasmine arrived in Boracay yesterday, she posted this message to Mark on Twitter: "Hey @Mark_Salling, meet us for dinner tonight here in Bora. I'd like to meet u and it seems like everyone wants us to meet too."

Even Solenn also wanted to see Mark before she left for Boracay. "See you in Boracay LOL (@mark_salling)."

And here's a scoop: Mark was able to read Jasmine's tweet (then googled her name) and he indeed looked for Jasmine in Boracay.

They met each other not last night though but just this afternoon.

On this photo by Spot.ph, Mark is seen here, shirtless and only covered with a towel (Jasmine is in black bra at the back):

Mark reportedly was attracted to Jasmine right at that moment. But the sad thing is, he had to leave Boracay already. Oh that's sad. :( [Latest Update: Mark's flight was cancelled so he's staying one more night in Bora]

But look who's following Jasmine Curtis now:

Mark is following only 18 people and Jasmine is luckily one of them.

He definitely is having the greatest vacation of his life here in the Philippines. He's enjoying the beauty of Boracay and most of all, he met Jasmine.

And with this latest tweet by Solenn just this afternoon, it seems like they're gonna see each other again in 2011:

MMFF 2010: "Dalaw" earns P40.6 million in 4 days | Kris Aquino wants Ted Failon as her next leading man

MMFF 2010 Box-Office OFFICIAL figures are not readily available for us, unlike in last year's MMFF where everyday, there was an update of the box-office results.

We have lots of "unofficial" figures on the net, but we want the official figures coming from the MMFF executive committee.

In 2009, MMFF chairperson Ric Camaligan even had himself interviewed by news programs and revealed the exact box-office figures of the festival entries.

Good thing that Philippine Star has the official box-office gross for December 25 and PEP posted on its Scoopbox the official receipts for December 26.

MMFF 2010 1st Day Gross (December 25)
1. "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote” P31M
2. “Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last Na ‘To) P20M
3. “Dalaw” Kris Aquino P12.5M
4. "Shake, Rattle & Roll XII" P11.8M
5. "RPG: Metanoia" P5.1M
6. "Super Inday and the Golden Bibe" P4.7M
7. "Rosario" P3.2M
8. "Father Jejemon" P1.4M

MMFF 2010 2nd Day Gross (December 26)
1. "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote" P25.7M
2. "Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last Na 'To)" P17.8M
3. "Dalaw" P11.3M
4. "Shake Rattle and Roll XII" P8.1M
5. "RPG Metanoia" P4.8M
6. "Super Inday and the Golden Bibe" P3.1M
7. "Rosario" P2.3M
8. "Father Jejemon" P1.0M

"Dalaw" star Kris Aquino happily shared on Twitter this afternoon that her MMFF 2010 entry already has an accumulated gross of P40.6 million as of December 28, 2010.

"Dalaw Dec 28 (day4) Gross: P7.650M. Total Gross to Date (4days): P40,640,800.19. Thank you, GOD! I thank all of u who watched! I thank God for helping us earn consistently! Thank u for the strong box office!

That just means, "Dalaw" has 10 million on the average and might also hit the 100 million-peso mark just like "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" and "Ang Tanging Mo Last Na 'To".

Kris also got the chance to tell everyone on Twitter about a possible movie starring her in 2011 after the box-office success of "Dalaw" which paired her up with muscled actor Diether Ocampo. She asked suggestions from her followers as to who should be her next leading man.

"Tita Malou of Star Cinema asking who I want to work w/ for 2011 movie. Who do u want me on screen with? I said want to be directed by direk Chito or direk Olive. Up to them na the rest. Suggestions?"

And most of the fans answered TED FAILON who's currently Kris' textmate.

"Thanks for your suggestions! I'm sure si Ted ayaw mag movie. Pero praying our talk show pushes thru!."

That's really something exciting to look forward to in 2011.

Ann beats Angel as Hottest Babe for 2010

The gorgeous Angel Locsin has lost Mykiru's "Hottest Babe" 2010 title to two newcomers.

In 2007 poll, Angel was voted as the Hottest Babe for that year and three years after, as the poll is revived this 2010 (and hopefully will be conducted again in 2011), Angel drops to #3 with two new faces getting the top 2 spots.

The fashionable and sweet-faced Ann Li of PBB Teen Clash 2010 was picked as the Hottest Babe in the Philippines for 2010 with the beautiful Tricia Santos, also from PBB Teen Clash 2010, in 2nd place.

This for sure makes the JamLi fans so much happy as James Reid was the one who topped the Hottest Hunks 2010 Poll.

If you can remember, it was also the JamLi who won the POP TWEEN category in the 2010 ASAP Pop Viewers' Choice Awards.

***

There were a total of 5,081 votes gathered for the Philippines' Hottest Babes 2010 poll, which ran from December 18 to 28. Here's the Top 10, with the votes and percentage they received:

While Rayver Cruz failed to enter the 50 Hottest Hunks list (he's 51st), both Sarah Geronimo and Cristine Reyes are in the Top 10 Hottest Babes, with Sarah ranking higher than Cristine.

"Dyosa ng Masa" Melai Cantiveros almost didn't make it to the Top 50. She is at #50.

I am surprised. Vice Ganda, a special babe, is on 30th spot, even ranking higher than Bangs Garcia, Carla Abellana, KC Concepcion and Shaina Magdayao.

We give you the Philippines' 50 Hottest Babes for 2010:

1. Ann Li 10.12%

Jovit Baldivino and Laurice Bermillo happy with each other

Jovit Baldivino probably isn't one of the "SMP" group or "Samahan ng Malalamig Ang Pasko".

With Star Power finalist Laurice Bermillo as his "special friend", Jovit definitely had the happiest Christmas ever.

Sila na kaya?

Well, judging those pics, I think they already are.

But having a "girl friend" is just one of the many blessings that Jovit received this year.

2010 has been a fruitful year for Jovit when it comes to his music career considering that he has been in the scene for only half a year.

He just won in Pilipinas Got Talent Season 1 last June then he immediately had two albums within 6 months.

Jovit's debut album has topped Odyssey Album charts and achieved gold status in just one month. It eventually reached platinum mark in only 3 months.

Both his debut album and the second one are charting on Astrovision/Astroplus top-selling albums chart, at #7 and #8 respectively as of December 12, 2010.

He also had two major endorsements this year (Sky Flakes, Eden Cheese) and starred in the musical-serye "1DOL" with no less than Sarah Geronimo, Coco Martin and Sam Milby.

And in only 4 months after winning on PGT, he was already awarded as Best New Artist during the 23rd Aliw Awards.

Jovit also takes pride for having at least 6 videos on Youtube with more than a million hits, one of which has 2.2 million views so far.

Truly, no other OPM artists who made their debut this year could match what Jovit has achieved this year. He is undoubtedly the breakthrough music artist in the Philippines this 2010.

Philippines' 50 Hottest Hunks 2010: The results are in!

The poll ran from December 17 to 27 and had 100 names shortlisted as finalists for the Hottest Hunk 2010 title.

James Reid voted Hottest Hunk in the Philippines for 2010

James Reid has been voted as the Hottest Hunk in the Philippines for 2010, based on Mykiru's Poll conducted from December 17 to 27.

The Big Winner of PBB Teen Clash 2010 faced a tough competition in Gerald Anderson who is voted as the 2nd hottest hunk in the country this year with only 45 votes shy of defeating James for the title.
(It's like Justin Bieber beating Chris Brown.)

At only 17, James who is half-Australian, half-Filipino, is definitely budding into a very appealing, gorgeous young man. Actually, he is gorgeous already and can you imagine what he's gonna turn into when he reaches 20?

James is currently seen on ABS-CBN's teen show "Shoutout" as members of the Tuesdelicious group and catch him this 2011 in the teen-drama "Good Vibes".

Last October, he was ranked 5th on Candy Magazine's list of Celeb Candy Cuties for 2010.

He's also the celebrity endorser of Jagthug Jeans.

With lots of girls swooning over him, it isn't surprising why his Facebook Page has more than 800,000 likes, much higher than the official pages of some of the biggest stars in the country.

Mykiru's Hottest Hunk 2010 Poll managed to get 6,012 votes despite a limited voting period of only 10 days in the midst of busy Yuletide Season. Here's the final Top 10:

Comedy King Dolphy was honored both as Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in the 36th Metro Manila Film Festival.

The awarding was held tonight during the festival's Gabi ng Parangal at the Meralco Theater.

Only the Top 3 nominees for each category were announced.

Dolphy won as Best Actor for "Father Jejemon" beating Vic Sotto ("Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote") and Yul Servo ("Rosario").

For the Best Supporting Actor award, Dolphy won for "Rosario" and was the top choice over Alwyn Uytingco (Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To), Roy Alvarez (Father Jejemon) and Sid Lucero (Rosario).

It's Dolphy's first Best Supporting Actor award from MMFF but already his second time to win Best Actor. He previously won in the 1990 MMFF for the movie "Espadang Patpat".

The Best Actress trophy meanwhile went to first-timer Ai-Ai delas Alas for "Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To". She bested Marian Rivera ("Super Inday and the Golden Bibe") and Carla Abellana ("Shake, Rattle & Roll 12").

It was a big surprise that Jennylyn Mercado who was highly praised for her performance in the movie "Rosario" was not even one of the Top 3 nominees for Best Actress.

MMDA indeed granted Ai-Ai's wish to give her the award. She has been longing for it. She even kneeled down on national T.V., begging the MMDA to let her win as Best Actress.

Other acting awards went to Eugene Domingo as Best Supporting Actress and Xyriel Manabat as Best Child Performer both for "Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To".

Eugene, who already won the same award in 2007 MMFF for "Bahay Kubo", triumphed over Alessandra De Rossi and Gina Pareño both for "Dalaw".

MMFF 2010 Awards Night - Winners: "Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To" wins 9 trophies, including Best Picture

MMFF 2010 Awards Night or Gabi ng Parangal was held Sunday night, December 26, 2010, at the Meralco Theatre.

That's only one day after the festival officially opened nationwide and definitely, the results of the awards night will make an impact on the box-office performance of the movie.

Big winner was Star Cinema's "Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To" which won 9 of the 20 categories. And 7 of those 9 awards were really major ones.

Star Cinema for sure never expected "Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To" to win as Best Picture and even Wenn Deramas as Best Director 'coz the movie didn't even get a grade from the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB).

Direk Wenn accepted most of the awards for the movie, including the Best Supporting Actress trophy for Eugene Domingo, who wasn't there to accept the award.

And when his name was called as Best Director, he himself was visibly surprised. "Naawa lang ata kayo sa 'kin sa pagbalik-balik ko dito sa stage...Sobra-sobrang bonus na po ito," he said in his acceptance speech.

"Rosario" meanwhile which got an A from the CEB was only the 2nd biggest winner, with 7 awards. Its director, Albert Martinez, was not even included in the Top 3 nominees for Best Director.

Aside from Direk Wenn, other nominated directors were Mike Tuviera (Super Inday and the Golden Bibe) and Louie Suarez (RPG Metanoia).

"RPG", another A-rated movie, won 4 trophies, "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" had 2 awards while 1 each for "Super Inday and the Golden Bibe" and "Father Jejemon".

Shockingly, "Dalaw" which got a B grade and stars the President's sister Kris Aquino was totally shut off from winning any of the awards. Was it intentional?

On The Buzz Sunday afternoon prior to the Awards Night, Kris Aquino was quoted saying this: "Pinapaubaya ko na po sa kanila ang award, kasi baka batikusin lang po ang pamilya namin at si Presidente Noy."

Regal Films' "Shake, Shattle & Roll 12" also won nothing.

Xyriel Manabat is MMFF 2010 Best Child Performer

6-year-old Xyriel Manabat won as Best Child Performer in the 36th Metro Manila Film Festival or MMFF 2010 Awards Night held earlier tonight at the Meralco Theater.

Xyriel won for the movie "Ang Tanging Ina: Last Na 'To", an entry from Star Cinema topbilled by Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas.

It's Xyriel's first movie and here she is winning her first acting award.

The other two nominees in the Best Child Performer category were Maliksi Morales for "Dalaw" and Buboy Villar for "Super Inday and the Golden Bibe".

Jillian Ward of "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" was not shortlisted as a nominee.

With this victory, it's not a doubt that Xyriel is the "real" breakthrough child star of 2010.

On TV, she portrayed the young Agua and Bendita, played the title role in "Momay" and starred opposite Zaijian Jaranilla in "Noah".

'Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote' conquers the MMFF 2010 Box-Office | Sequel already set for 2012

Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote has topped the MMFF 2010 Box-Office with over 30 million-peso gross receipts on its first day.

No official figures yet, but according to the estimates reported by Showbiz Central, the said movie which is co-produced by GMA Films, Imus Productions, Octo Arts Films, APT Entertainment and MZET Films had an estimated 1st-day gross of P32 million, the highest opening gross ever by a Filipino movie.

It isn't surprising because "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" stars two MMFF Kings: Sen. Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr and Vic Sotto, whose respective movie in the past MMFFs were really huge hits.

The movie definitely also benefited from being given the chance to promote both on GMA 7 and in some ABS-CBN shows (thru news features and taped interviews with Bong and Vic).

MMFF exec committee Ric Camaligan was interviewed by DZMM this afternoon and he revealed the opening box-office rankings of the 8 entries (also reported by ABS-CBN News):

1. Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To
3. Dalaw
4. Shake, Rattle & Roll 12
5. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe
6. Rosario
7. Father Jejemon
8. RPG Metanoia

PEP's @scoopbox has unofficial figures, but with different rankings:

1. Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote P31M
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To P20M
3. Dalaw P12.5M
4. Shake, Rattle & Roll 12 P11.8M
5. RPG Metanoia P5.1M
6. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe P4.7M
7. Rosario P3.2M
8. Father Jejemon P1.4M

***

And because of this huge success of "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote", Senator Bong has hinted that a sequel is coming possibly in 2012, not in 2011, coz he has Panday Part 2, which is being prepared for the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival 2011.

Richard Faulkerson is now Andy Gonzales, stars in "Alakdana"

Richard "RJ" Faulkerson Jr will be using the screen name Andy Gonzales
on his first TV project.

Andy will be in a love triangle with Louise delos Reyes and Paulo
Avelino in the upcoming TV series "Alakdana" which will air on GMA's
afternoon block this first quarter of 2011.

The name "Andy Gonzales" doesn't sound good to me. I still prefer the name Richard Faulkerson or RJ Faulkerson.

Why do they have to change his name? If it works for Gerald Anderson to use his American-sounding surname and also for Fil-German Ian
Batherson, why not Faulkerson?

As Richard Faulkerson Jr, Andy won the title Ginoong Sta. Rosa in 2009 and Ginoong Laguna this 2010.

He also made it to StarStruck V's Top 60 and was shortlisted among the
Top 50 possible housemates of PBB Teen Clash 2010.

Also this year, he topped Candy Mag's Regular Cuties list and also appeared in Smart AllText TVC.

Mark Salling and Manny Pacquiao together in Boracay on Christmas Day

Mark Salling has finally confirmed that he's indeed in Boracay and he's absolutely loving that beautiful island in the Philippines.

At around 6PM today, the GLEE star posted this greeting on Twitter:

"Merry Christmas from the beautiful island of Boracay."

That's 4 days after Mark was reported going to Boracay when photos of him and some Filipino flight attendants heading to Manila surfaced on the net.

But it looks like he has arrived in Boracay, just now.

Well-traveled Filipino blogger Ivan Henares could confirm this on his blog because he was on the same flight with Mark today, from Manila to Boracay. He has some photos with Mark and here's one of them:

How can he be so lucky? For sure, Ivan had one of the most unforgettable travels of his life.

So, where was Mark, from Tuesday until Friday?

Last night, while everyone's waiting for the Christmas Eve, GMA 7
reporter Joseph Morong tweeted that he saw Mark eating at a local pizza chain in Makati. "saw glee's Mark Salling, eating at a local pizza hut a wyl ago. A mom and her daughter askd 2 have their pics taken w/ him. I was too shy to ask."

He then went on to describe Mark as very tall and his guy companion as too small. "Mark Salling in Makati with a guy who could have been d guy from The Mentalist? Myt be too small. Was there around 840sh pm. Wore gray. Very tall."

"Very quiet. A mom and a daughter took a pic with him. Girl asks: Are u from Glee? Sed yes and obliged hehe,"

That goes to show Mark is very approachable and accomodating to the fans.

I have also known from a source just today that Mark checked in to the A. Venue Hotel Suites in Makati City last night.

Could it be possible that Mark arrived in Boracay on Tuesday, then flew to Manila yesterday and then back to Boracay today?

Whatever!

But what's all that matters now is the confirmation from Mark himself that he's in Boracay now and he finds it beautiful - a big boost to the island, which is among the top tourist destinations in the Philippines.

And guess who celebrated Christmas with Mark Salling in Boracay?

Mark Salling posts on Twitter: "Christmas dinner with my boy Manny Pacquiao".

Watch out in 2011: Manny Pacquio guesting on GLEE? Haha

Let's all look back at the hottest issues in 2010 this December 31 only here on Mykiru Isyusero.

Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano team up again in "Who's That Girl?"

Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano are teaming up again in the pre-Valentine 2011 movie "Who's That Girl?" under Viva Films.

It will be Anne and Luis' 3rd movie team up after "All About Love" and
"Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo".

"Who's That Girl?" is a romantic comedy film directed by Wenn Deramas, and also stars Eugene Domingo, John Lapus, Candy Pangilinan, Dennis Padilla, Dino Imperial, Abby Bautista, Maki Billiones and Ms. Dina
Bonnevie.

It excites me why the movie is titled as such. I still don't know what's exactly Anne's role in the movie, but Luis is a football player there, which makes it more exciting.

Now as a theme for a movie, football will definitely be IN this 2011.

Pictures above were taken while filming for the movie at the UST Football Field.

"Who's That Girl" opens in theaters on February 2, 2011.
