Jackie Rice, FHM Philippines, January 2010

From one men's magazine to another...

After shedding off her sweet image in Maxim Magazine last July 2009, here's Jackie Rice again in a sexy pose this time on FHM Philippines' cover for January 2010.

Parang nakakasawa na rin na nagpapalitan lang ng mga cover girls ang dalawang men's magazine.

Jackie Rice, who was Starstruck Season 3 Ultimate Female Survivor, is expected to shine brighter in 2010. Jackie is presently cast as Babaeng Demonyita on GMA 7's hit fantasy series "Darna" and in 2010, she is set to do "Panday Kids" and "Encantandia: The Second Saga".

'Ang Darling Kong Aswang' continues to lead MMFF '09 boxoffice

After four days, Vic Sotto starrer "Ang Darling Kong Aswang" is still leading in the boxoffice rankings for the official entries of MMFF 2009.

As of December 28, 2009, the movie now has a cumulative gross earnings of 44.625 million pesos.

But the APT Entertainment/Octo Arts Films produced movie should not celebrate early victory for this one, because the current 2nd to 4th placers in the ranking could possibly grab the top spot at any moment.

During Day 1, "Aswang" was in 2nd place, then went to #1 on Day 2 but dropped to #3 in both Day 3 and 4. But because of the large number it hauled in the first two days, the movie is still leading when all of the earnings from Day 1 to 4 are totaled.

In close second as of Monday was GMA Films/Imus Productions co-prod "Ang Panday" which has just over one million peso difference from "Aswang". Its day-by-day ranking in the last four days: #1 on Day 1, #3 on Day 2, #2 on Day 3 and #4 on Day 4.

Still on third spot is "Shake, Rattle & Roll XI" under Regal Films. It ranked #3 on first day, then #2 on the 2nd day, down to #4 on Day 3 but recovered to #2 on Day 4.

The biggest mover as of this moment is the Star Cinema entry "I Love You Goodbye". The total gross for this PG-13 movie is over 38 million pesos, which is still lower than the three above-mentioned G-rated movies. But this movie is showing strongly during Day 3 and Day 4. It only ranked during the first two days, but it is earning the highest during the 3rd and 4th days.

If the trend continues, we shall see "ILYG" and SRR11" on the first two slots while "Aswang" and "Panday" occupy the 3rd and 4th slots when the MMFF 2009 ends on January 7, 2010.

As for the other three entries, "Mano Po 6" and "Nobody, Noboy But Juan" are switching places while "Wapakman" is still a low-earner: P750,000 on Day 1, P650,000 on Day 2, P317,000 on Day 3 and P194,000 on Day 4.

PBB housemates turned crossdressers

May bago bang housemate sa Bahay ni Kuya?

Halos hindi na makilala ang transsexual housemate na si Rica Paras sa kanyang pagbabalik-anyo bilang isang lalake. Balik Richard muna si Rica today.

As seen on the live feed of PBB Double Up, may task ang mga housemates kung saan mag-a-anyong babae ang mga boys at mag-papakalalake naman ang mga girls.

Eto pa ang ibang mga housemates and decide who's the most handsome and most beautiful of them all:

GIRLS TURNED BOYS

Melai


Kath


Sam


Cathy


Mariel

BOYS TURNED GIRLS

Tibo


Jason


Paul Jake


Johan


Hermes

Hindi ko naman kinaya ang gestures dito nina Jason at Paul Jake...

Salamat sa mga PEXers na sina idolleng, segway23 at chynnablue567 for the great screencaps!

***

Mamaya sa primetime ay ang pagpapapatuloy ng task ni Jason Francisco bilang "kasambahay" ng mga housemates na ang kapalit ay tricyle na pangkabuhayan para sa kanyang lola.

Kung marami ang naiinis kay Jason dahil sa hindi 100% na pagpupursige sa kanyang task, marami din ang humahanga sa tinaguriang "Boy Astig ng Mindoro" sa pagtatanggol niya sa mga kasambahay. Ayon kay Jason, iba daw ang kasambahay sa "alila".

Marami ang nag-react sa pagpalo ni Paul Jake kay Jason sa puwet. Isa raw itong maling halimbawa sa pagtrato ng mga amo sa kanilang katulong.

'I Love You, Goodbye' now #2 in the boxoffice?

Coming from Angelica Panganiban herself via her Twitter account, her MMFF 2009 entry "I Love You, Goodbye" in the boxoffice.

It has to be confirmed yet, but Angel got it for sure from a very reliable source.

As of last Monday, "I Love You Goodbye" was still at #4 and maybe, after yesterday's accumulated gross, the movie has jumped up to #2. It's not impossible, because the boxoffice earnings of four movies are very close and they can switch places at any time.

'Melason' loveteam boosts PBB weekday ratings

Apart from being the new primetime ruler during weekends, ABS-CBN's Pinoy Big Brother Double Up is now slowly conquering the primetime ratings race during weekdays.

According to the AGB Mega Manila Ratings released for December 28, 2009 (Monday), PBB Double Up is #1 again, beating GMA 7's "Darna" which was a consistent toprater.

PBB generated that night a ratings of 30.8% as against Darna with a very close 30.6%.

The episode shown then was the 100-second moment of Jason Francisco with her lola. It was actually a treat for the "Melason" loveteam because Melai Cantiveros was also there with Jason and his grandma.

The Top 5 primetime programs during that day were: 1. PBB Double Up (ABS-CBN) 30.8% 2. Darna (GMA) 30.6% 3. Full House (GMA) 29.7% 4. May Bukas Pa (ABS-CBN) 29.4% 5. 24 Oras (GMA) 28.9%

It's now the 5th time that PBB Double Up has ruled the primetime race in Mega Manila.

***

The first one was in December 8, 2009 when model Rocky Salumbides opted for a voluntary exit. The episode garnered 33.6%, which remains to be the show's highest ratings so far.

December 8 Top 5: 1. PBB Double Up (ABS-CBN) 33.6% 2. Darna (GMA) 32.7% 3. 24 Oras (GMA) 30.5% 4. Stairway to Heavern (GMA) 30.2% 5. Dahil May Isang Ikaw (ABS-CBN) 29.8%

For the second time on December 22, 2009, PBB topped again with the episode showing the breakdown of Rica Paras and Sam Pinto during their Christmas Ball and of course, the romantic date of Melason loveteam on a ferris wheel.

Top 5 Primetime Programs for December 22: 1. PBB Double Up (ABS-CBN) 31.5% 2. Darna (GMA) 30.5% 3. May Bukas Pa (ABS-CBN) 29.0% 4. Full House (GMA) 28.5% 5. Dahil May Isang Ikaw (ABS-CBN) 27.3%.

And on December 23 and 24, when some of the households were not at home and busy for the Christmas rush, PBB managed to pull in ratings good enough for the #1 spot.

It was the time when "Super G" Annina Ucatis arrived from Germany to celebrate her birthday and Christmas with the Filipino housemates.

Dec 23 Top 5: 1. PBB Double Up (ABS-CBN) 30.7% 2. 24 Oras (GMA) 27.3% 3. Darna (GMA) 27.1% 4. May Bukas Pa (ABS-CBN) 26.8% 5. Dahil May Isang Ikaw (ABS-CBN) 26.6%

Dec 24 Christmas Eve Top 5: 1. PBB Double Up (ABS-CBN) 25.5% 2. Darna (GMA) 24.3% 3. May Bukas Pa (ABS-CBN) 24.2% 4. Full House (GMA) 24.0% 5. 24 Oras and Sana Ngayong Pasko (GMA) 23.9% 5.

***

Some PBB followers are requesting if they could minimize the exposure of the Melason loveteam. According to them, Melai and Jason are not the only housemates of PBB Double Up.

But we cannot blame the people behind PBB if they continually show moments of Melason loveteam almost everyday because of the "high ratings" it draws for the show.

If I were to ask, I would love to see them everyday because of the great entertainment they bring to me. "Nakakawalang-antok" is the best word to describe them.
