Jake Cuenca and Dennis Trillo reunited in 'My Neighbor's Wife'

Jake Cuenca and Dennis Trillo are the male leads in a new Regal-produced movie entitled 'My Neighbor's Wife'.

At the story conference for the movie held last Tuesday at the Imperial Palace Suites, Jake and Dennis said that they were so thrilled to be working together again.

The two starred together in GMA 7's 2006 telefantasya "Majika", which was Jake's last soap in GMA 7 before he moved to the Kapamilya Network.

Joining the two in the film are two of the hottest Kapuso leading ladies, Carla Abellana and Lovi Poe.

It's also nice to see Lovi and Jake in one movie. I super loved their Bench Summer 2011 photos, where the two really had great chemistry.

Maybe that's what inspired Regal to cast them in "My Neighbor's Wife".

Iwa Moto not pregnant, plays villain to Heart Evangelista in "Dwarfina"

Iwa Moto is back on TV starting tomorrow, January 10, 2011, as "Dwarfina" begins airing on GMA Telebabad.

Iwa's comeback disproves rumors that she is pregnant and she's also switching networks just like fellow StarStruck alumna Jewel Mische
who's now with ABS-CBN.

If she IS not pregnant, WAS she pregnant? Iwa has denied the other night that she ever got pregnant. "It doesn't mean na hindi ako nakikita, I'm pregnant. And it doesn't mean na bumalik ako ngayon, nagpalaglag na 'ko," Iwa said in an interview by 24 Oras reporter Lhar Santiago.

On "Dwarfina", Iwa plays Lucille, one of the many villains in the life of Yna or Dwarfina played by Heart Evangelista.

"Dwarfina" is GMA 7's first new teleserye this 2010 and is expected to be a top-rating primetime show of the network.

Meet the cast on these promotional pics...

Dennis Trillo as Lyndon & Heart Evangelista as Yna / Dwarfina

GMA 7 reveals its Telebabad shows this 2011

Five new primetime series featuring the biggest Kapuso stars will
premiere this 2011 on GMA 7's Telebabad block.

A teaser of the 5 new shows has already started airing and it includes:

"Machete" starring Aljur Abrenica, Ryza Cenon and Bela Padilla

"Amaya" starring Marian Rivera


"Dwarfina" starring Heart Evangelista, Dennis Trillo, Pauleen Luna,
Iwa Moto, Mark Bautista, Angelika Dela Cruz, Derek Monasterio and Will
Devaughn.

"I Heart You Pare" starring Regine Velasquez, Dingdong Dantes and Ryza Cenon

"Captain Barbel" starring Richard Gutierrez, Lovi Poe, Solenn Heussaff, Sam Pinto, Jillian Ward, Akihiro Sato, Ervic Vijandre and
Christopher De Leon

Watch a teaser of the said new Telebabad shows:

I've noticed that 4 of them are all telefantasya while the other one is a musical dramedy.

That just means, GMA 7 will still capitalize more on fantasy TV series this 2011 and producing non-fantasy drama shows on primetime is really
not their priority.

But those 5 shows look exciting. I'm most excited with Dwarfina, Amaya
and Machete. How about you guys?

Until now, no leading man yet for Marian Rivera in the epic-serye "Amaya". Kapamilya actor Zanjoe Marudo reportedly was offered to be Marian's leading man but I highly doubt if he's gonna switch networks.

Who do you think should be the best leading man for Marian in "Amaya"?

Jennylyn Mercado goes extra daring in her MMFF 2010 movie "Rosario"

Portraying a role of a liberated Filipina from New York, Jennylyn
Mercado for sure will have lots of daring scenes in her upcoming movie
"Rosario", which is an official entry in the 2010 Metro Manila Film
Festival (MMFF).

But definitely, those daring scenes do not make up the whole of "Rosario".

Set in the 1920's, "Rosario" stars Jennylyn Mercado in her most
challenging role ever.

Based on the movie trailer alone, I can already say that Jennylyn has an award-worthy portrayal in "Rosario".

Sorry to Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas (Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To) who is
begging MMFF committee to let her win the Best Actress award this year, but Jennylyn is going to be the strongest contender for the
award. (That is if politics won't play a major role in the selection.)

I have watched already the trailers of all 8 official entries and I was impressed with "Rosario". It's like a Hollywood movie.

This may not be on top of the box-office, but it might win many awards along with Star Cinema's RPG Metanoia.

But of course, I'm just basing it on the trailers and my opinion might change as soon as MMFF 2010 officially begins December 25 and got to watch, hopefully all 8 entries.

***

Produced by Cinemabuhay International and Manny Pangilinan's Studio 5, "Rosario" also stars Dennis Trillo, Yul Servo, Sid Lucero, Eula Valdez, Ricky Davao, Isabel Oli, Empress, Jerould Aceron with the special participation of Phillip Salvador and Dolphy.

It's under the direction of Albert Martinez.
