Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco reveal their favorite position

Melai Cantiveros loves to be on top of his boyfriend Jason Francisco.

At least on these pictures...

According to @GlobalMelasons on Twitter, the first photo was taken while on the set of "Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Mana Po" topbilled by Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco.

The second photo is for Bench Summer 2011: Return To Temptation Catalog available on its website.

But Jason, a man that he is, of course also loves to be on top of Melai on these pictures, which are actually scenes from "PHR: Mana Po".

Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Mana Po is coming very soon on ABS-CBN.

Supporting cast includes Megan Young, Tom Rodriguez, John Arcilla, Buboy Garovillo, Soliman Cruz, RR Enriquez, Giselle Sanchez, Josef Elizalde, Gileth Sandico and Ms. Rachel Lobangco in her acting comeback.

ABS-CBN presents its 2011 BidaBEST shows

ABS-CBN has already started airing its "BidaBEST" plug for its upcoming programs this 2011.

Starting January 1, 2011, expect a new "Showtime" as it starts Season 3, a much more exciting season of the show.

But kinda sad though because starting that day, we won't be seeing Pilipinas Win Na Win anymore as it's going to end already on December 31st.

Willie Revillame probably is happy to hear that.

Aside from Showtime Season 3, other new shows included in the BidaBEST plug are as follows:

*I Dare You: The Kapamilya Challenge - hosted by Jericho Rosales and Iya Villania

*Malparida - an Argentine telenovela starring Juana Viale and Gonzalo Heredia

*Binondo Girl - first team-up of Kim Chiu and Matteo Guidicelli

*Mana Po - first solo soap of Melason (Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco)

*Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin - with a powerhouse cast: Coco Martin, Maja Salvador, Andi Eigenmann, John Estrada, Tonton Gutierrez, Amy Austria, Ronaldo Valdez, Martin del Rosario, Boots Anson-Roa, Dante Rivero and Lorna Tolentino

*Sanlakas Kids - a fantasy series featuring Mars Ravelo heroes altogether (Lastikman, Kapitan Boom, Varga, Tiny Tony, Dragonna)

*Pablo S. Gomez's Mutya - starring Precious Lara Quigaman and comebacking Kapamilya Alfred Vargas

*Wansapanataym Presents Rod Santiago's Buhawi Jack - first show of Jewerald (Jewel Mische and Gerald Anderson)

24th PMPC Star Awards for Television (2010): Nominees are out!

This is one freshly-baked piece of news for you guys...the list of nominees for the 24th PMPC Star Awards for Television (2010) has just been bared this afternoon.

Among this year's nominees are the Kimerald (Kim Chiu & Gerald Anderson) and Melason (Melai Cantiveros & Jason Francisco).

Kim is nominated for the first time as Best Drama Actress, where she's pitted against big-time names, the likes of Maricel Soriano, Judy Ann Santos, Cherry Pie Picache, Lorna Tolentino, Angelica Panganiban, Chin-Chin Gutierrez and

Gerald on one hand is nominated in 2 categories: Best Drama Actor and Best Single Performance by an Actor.

Star Magic Catalogue 2011 Photos: Kimerald, Melason, Enchong Dee & more

Officially launched at The Rockwell yesterday, the Star Magic Catalogue 2011 is now very much available in magazine stores nationwide for P295.

Yes, it costs P295, which is almost a hundred percent increase from last year's price of only P150. But definitely, it's still worth buying.

Check out sample pictures:

Gerald Anderson "The One who Makes it Look Easy"




Kim Chiu "The One who Won our Hearts"


Enchong Dee "The One who's a Role Model"


Carmen Soo "The One with Quiet Strength"


Roxanne Guinoo "The One with a Gentle Smile"


Gigger Boys (Arron Villaflor, AJ Perez, Sam Concepcion, Robi Domingo & Enrique Gil)

One good reason to have the Star Magic Catalogue 2011 is to see your favorite stars who are gracing the mag for the first time and among them are Melai Cantiveros & Jason Francisco.

Aside from Melason, other first-timers in the catalogue are Matteo Guidicelli; Tom Rodriguez & other ex-housemates of PBB Double
Up; PGT's Markki Stroem; A-Pop's Young JV, Nel Gomez & Jaco Benin;
Gimik 2010's Franco Daza and others; Tyron Perez;
JM De Guzman; iDOL's Emmanuelle Vera & Da Vince Code; and child
stars Xyriel Manabat, Izzi Canillo & Bugoy Cariño.

And of course, you'll no longer see there some stars who transfered to
other networks or have switched management such as Claudine Barretto,
Nikki Gil, Ronnie Liang, Carl Guevarra, Krista Sullivan (now Bela Padilla), Chase Rivera (Melmar Magno of XLR8), Kristina Snell (now Princess Snell), Janna Dominguez, Joshua Dionisio & Charlie Green.

PBB Magazine Cover: Melai Cantiveros and Kim Chiu

Si Melai, ka-level na ni Kim?

PBB Double Up Big Winner Melai Cantiveros and PBB Teen Edition winner Kim Chiu are both on the latest cover of Pinoy Big Brother Magazine (Limited Edition).

It just goes to show that Melai is leveling herself now with Kim.

But that's not the case between Jason Francisco and Gerald Anderson,
who are also pictured on the left portion of PBB Mag.

I don't want to make an issue out of it, but I'm wondering why Gerald looks like a background only to Jason there. Maybe, the mag's
editorial staff didn't mean anything, but it would be better if they're placed side by side.

Also featured in the mag are Paul Jake Castillo and the PBB Teen Clash 2010 housemates. Look! Fretzie, Bret, Ivan and Ryan are on the cover.
But not James. How sad!

The issue is out now. Go and get a copy!

Top 20 Popular Stories for May 2010

Willie vs Jobert and Vice Ganda vs Tado highlighted the month of May, but still, a story about Anne Curtis in Boracay was the most popular last month. It also topped in March and April.

Why why why? Some people could still not forget about what happened and keep reading about it. Maybe they look at Anne's photos before they sleep.

Also in the Top 20 were my latest posts about Markk Stroem, Daniel Matsunaga, Enchong Dee and PBB's past and present housemates such as Melason, Johan Santos, Robert James Reid, Jovic Susim and Bret Jackson.

Male pageants such as Mister Universe Model and Ginoong Filipinas were also hot items.

Melason in their first ever Bench fashion show

As expected, the Melason loveteam was the highly-applauded models (along with Coco Martin) during the showcase of Bench in the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2010, held last night, May 30, 2010, at SM Mall of Asia Atrium.

Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco were so much fun to watch as they walked the runway for the very first time.

Also there were PBB Double Up ex-housemate Sam Pinto and other Big 5 winners such as Paul Jake Castillo, Johan Santos and Steve "Tibo" Jumalon.

The next time you will see them in a show like this will be on July 2 at the Araneta Coliseum for the Bench Denim & Underwear Fashion Show.

Check out some pictures...

Melason, Paul Jake, Johan, Tibo gone bold for Bench Billboard

Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Double Up Big Winner Melisa "Melai" Cantiveros and the rest of the Big 5 are certified Bench endorsers as their billboard is now up for us to feast on.

The "Bench Uncut" billboard features Melai Cantiveros, Jason Francisco, Paul Jake Castillo, Steve "Tibo" Jumalon and Johan Santos in their bold look of the future, as what the tagline says.

And look at Melai! Wow! She's fierce and should I say, sexy? Why not...

But why is Jason the only one non-shirtless there? And Papa Paul Jake is impressively hot there!

It's too early to tell but the Big 5 will be the crowd-drawers and also the crowd-pleasers in the much-awaited Bench Fashion Show on July 2, 2010 in Araneta Coliseum.

Melason movie with Direk Cathy Garcia-Molina

[MYKIRU'S FIRST CATCH]

The lovable wacky tandem of Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco or
Melason will do a Star Cinema movie this year under the direction
of...(wow!) Cathy Garcia-Molina.

Yes, that's what my source told me today.

Melason will be launched in a horror-comedy film and the story
conference is set in a week or two or probably next month already.

With Cathy Molina as the director, it seems like the wish of the
Melason fans has been granted. They've been requesting either Ms.
Cathy or Bb. Joyce Bernal to direct a Melason movie.

Direk Cathy is the director of Star Cinema's highest-grossing film
"You Changed My Life" as well as topgrossing films "One More Chance",
"A Very Special Love" and "Miss You Like Crazy".

So what happened to the supposed movie of Melason with Ai-Ai de las
Alas? Maybe Star Cinema believes that the momentum calls for a solo
launching movie for the two and not just a support to anyone.

From My Inbox 006: Pacquiao, Melason etc.

'Manny Pacquiao' when he was a bit younger

How I wish this movie is going to be real...A very good idea!


Hermes Bautisa, what happened to you?
