Jennylyn Mercado makes appearance in Miguel "Migz" Villafuerte's TV ad in CamSur

Miguel Luis "Migz" Villafuerte, who made showbiz headlines back in March as the rumored suitor of PopStar Princess Sarah Geronimo, appears in a TV commercial which has been airing already in his province Camarines Sur (CamSur) since last week.

The TVC uses a "jingle" sung to the tune of Justin Bieber hit "Baby" and also features Kapuso actress-singer Jennylyn Mercado in one short scene, probably shot during Jen's concert there last May 26 for CamSur's Kaogma Festival 2011.

Watch the said TV ad featuring Miguel "Migz" Villafuerte (Jennylyn is at 0:34 part of the video):

Analyzing the song lyrics or the message being imparted on the video, it's like an early election campaign for Migz Villafuerte who reportedly will be running for Governor in CamSur in the 2013 Elections, hoping to succeed his dad L-Ray Villafuerte who's now on his 3rd and last term as CamSur Governor.

If ever elected, Migz Villafuerte, who's 24 years old by 2013, will possibly be the youngest governor ever elected in CamSur beating his own dad's record and even in the whole Philippines (record to beat: 27 years old).

Goodluck to you Migz!

Just last May, Migz was Cosmo.ph's Online Hunk and he gamely posed shirtless there. Check out some of his Cosmo shots taken in CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC):

This September, expect him to be one of Cosmo's 69 Bachelors for 2011.

Angel Locsin, Marian Rivera give way to Sam Pinto on FHM 100 Sexiest Women 2011 Poll, May 20 tally

Sam Pinto grabs the lead on FHM Philippines 100 Sexiest Women 2011 Poll based on its latest voting tally as of Friday, May 20.

Marian Rivera, who occupied the top spot during the last 3 weeks, dropped to 3rd this week and taking over is not Angel Locsin, who stays on the 2nd spot, but it's last week's 3rd placer Sam Pinto.

If Sam Pinto ends up with FHM Sexiest Woman 2011 title, it's definitely a major major achievement to beat Angel, Marian and even Cristine Reyes. Last year, Sam made her FHM Poll debut at #32.

That's actually the only major change in the poll since last week, as the remaining ladies in the Top 10 are still the same, with Valerie Concepcion climbing 2 slots, overtaking Jennylyn Mercado and Ellen Adarna.

Still on top is Marian Rivera with Angel Locsin, which dropped to 3rd in the previous tally, is back on the 2nd slot.

Lovi Poe has been showing improvement in the FHM Sexiest 2011 voting since it started in April. From #54 to #26 previously, she's now in the Top 10 ranking at #9, replacing Rhian Ramos. (Probably Rhian's controversy with DJ Mo Twister makes her less sexy.)

Marian Rivera now leading in FHM "100 Sexiest Women 2011" Poll

Marian Rivera is now the one leading on FHM Philippines' 100 Sexiest Women 2011 Poll.

Based on the partial results as of April 29, 2011, Marian is now on top spot, from #3 in the previous update (April 19).

Angel Locsin who's previously on top and last year's FHM Sexiest winner drops to 2nd.

There was a mistake in the update above from FHM Philippines. Marian Rivera was listed twice, #1 and #3. But I think, the 3rd spot belongs to Cristine Reyes.

Kapuso hunks model shirtless on Party Pilipinas

Party Pilipinas celebrated a "Summer Holiday" last Sunday, April 10, 2011, and I super loved that song number of Jennylyn Mercado, Glaiza De Castro, Aicelle Santos and Maricris Garcia wherein some Kapuso hunks were modeling shirtless under the Summer heat while the 4 girls were singing.

I've been looking for some photos of it and I even asked that prod's "cutie" choreographer Juan Paulo Infante on Twitter if he has pictures of the shirtless hunks haha. Sadly, he doesn't have.

But anyway, thanks to the fans of Jennylyn Mercado who posted a video of that production number on Youtube so you can watch if in case you missed it.

The shirtless hunks in the said production number were twins MM & MJ Magno, Enzo Pineda, Rocco Nacino, Ian Batherson, Geoff Eigenmann, JC Tiuseco, Will Devaughn, Kris Lawrence and Brapanese trio Hideo Muraoka, Fabio Ide and Daniel Matsunaga.

JayR and Mark Bautista were also part of it but they weren't shirtless. (Ang KJ nyo naman!)

Jennylyn Mercado faces perjury charges from former P.A. Mel Pulmano

Jennylyn Mercado is facing perjury charges from former personal assistant Rowena Pulmano.

Last Monday, Pulmano filed the perjury charges against Jennylyn before the Quezon City Prosecutors Office, Manila Standard Today reported yesterday.

The move by Pulmano is due to Jennylyn's accusation that she forged Jen's signatures in 19 checks amounting to over P460,000.

Jennylyn filed a case of qualified theft against Pulmano last October 28, 2008, but just last January 25, the case was junked by the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 77.

I'm sad for Jen.

But on a positive note, Jennylyn and Carlo Aquino are headlining a show this coming March 12, exactly 10 days from now.

It's entitled "Experienced Young Love" and will be held at the Thunderbird Resorts Fiesta Casino in Rizal, 9PM on Mar. 12.

Admission is free.

Jennylyn Mercado looks fit and great on Women's Health Magazine cover

Kapuso star Jennylyn Mercado is the cover girl of Women's Health Philippines this March 2011.

Jennylyn, who's a mother to 2-year-old Alex Jazz and girlfriend to actor Dennis Trillo, is lookin' fit, great and gorgeous in the magazine as she shows off her super sexy body. Here's the cover:

Also found on Women's Health Philippines' March 2011 issue are sexy swimsuits for Summer, Stress Solvers, tips to have slim and toned body in just 3 weeks, secrets to looking and feeling young, and (wow!) 14 tips to ignite Summer sex.

It's out on stands now for P140.

MMFF 2010: "Rosario", "RPG Metanoia" both graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board

Only 2 of the 8 entries in the 36th Metro Manila Film Festival or MMFF 2010 have been graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB).

And these are the period drama film "Rosario" and the 3D animated film "RPG Metanoia".

"Rosario" is the first directorial movie of critically-acclaimed actor Albert Martinez, co-produced by Cinemabuhay International and Studio 5. It stars Jennylyn Mercado, Dennis Trillo, Sid Lucero and Yul Servo in their award-worthy performances.

"RPG Metanoia" meanwhile takes pride as the 1st 3D animated movie ever produced in the Philippines. Directed by Louie Suarez, it features voices of Zaijian Jaranilla, Vhong Navarro, Eugene Domingo and Aga Muhlach.

And since the MMFF 2010 criteria for Best Picture no longer includes box-office receipts, is it now safe to say that either Rosario or RPG Metanoia will win as Best Picture? We will see come Awards Night on December 26.

As for the other MMFF 2010 entries, 2 were given a grade of B ("Dalaw", "Super Inday & the Golden Bibe") while no reported grade for the 4 other films ("Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote", "Shake, Rattle & Roll 12", "Father Jejemon", "Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To").

The MMFF 2010 Parade of Stars happens tomorrow, December 24, and the showing officially starts Christmas Day, December 25.

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.

Vice Ganda, amusing muse at the PBA Season 36 Opening Ceremony

"Pambansang Kabayo" Vice Ganda paraded as a muse during the PBA Season 36 Opening Ceremony held today, October 3, 2010, at the Araneta Coliseum.

It was so amusing to see Vice Ganda as the muse of Powerade Tigers, who in the past 2 years had comedienne Pokwang as their beautiful muse.

The long-legged Showtime judge even gave a "sample" to the spectators by showing off his basketball moves, reminiscent of Vice's highschool days when he was a varsity player in basketball and not yet openly gay.

The other PBA teams had the most beautiful muses, even one of the teams had an international model as their muse, but just like the times of Pokwang, Vice Ganda was the scene-stealer during this season's opening and undoubtedly the most applauded muses of them all.

Vice Ganda is I think the first ever "gay" muse in PBA history. Am I right or wrong?

The PBA Season 36 Opening Muses:
Air21 Express - Daiana Menezes
Alaska Aces - Nancy Jane aka Nancy Castiglione
Barako Bull Energy Coffee Masters - Bianca Bauer (an international model)
Barangay Ginebra Kings - Anne Curtis
B-meg Derby Ace Llamados - Carla Abellana
Meralco Bolts - 14 Meralco employees
Powerade Tigers - Vice Ganda
Rain or Shine Elasto Painters - Coleen Garcia Ortega
San Miguel Beermen - Georgina Wilson, Isabelle Daza and Sam Pinto
Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters - Jennylyn Mercado

Wonder where the boys are? Probably, the male cast (like Rafael Rosell, Antonio Aquitania, Carlo Aquino, Jao Mapa, Biboy Ramirez and Ricky Davao) only have minor roles in this female-oriented film that they have even totally excluded in the poster.

But other female cast members (Mylene Dizon and Cherrie Gil) are also not included there.

"Working Girls" will be shown in theaters on April 21, 2010.

Jennylyn Mercado heats up FHM for the second time

Jennylyn 'Jen' Mercado was 1 month preggy when she posed on FHM cover for the first time in January of 2008, and now that her cutie baby boy Alex Jazz has turned a year older (last August), Jen gone a lot bolder and turns up the heat once more on FHM's November 2009 issue...

On television, Jennylyn Mercado is currently seen on GMA 7's primetime soap "Ikaw Sana".

She is also set to play as Robin Padilla's leading lady in the 2010 movie "Tatak ng Bilangguan: Anak ni Baby Ama 3".

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day to my mom and to all the Mothers in the whole wide world!!!

At siyempre kay Jennylyn Mercado, who finally let Patrick Garcia see her son Alex Jazz, pero hanggang pictures lang na unang nakita nga sa May 8 article ni Ricky Lo sa Philippine Star.

Here's one sample picture:

No doubt, baby Jazz looks like his father Patrick. So cute!!! At may potential nang humarap sa camera.

It would be Jen's first ever Mother's Day celebration as a mother bukas (May 10), kaya naman siguro in good mood siya para ipakita na finally ang mga photos ni baby Jazz.

Maybe, in preparation ito for the upcoming launch of her coffeetable book about motherhood and for sure, we'd see a lot of baby Jazz there.

O di kaya'y promotion ito for Jennylyn's birthday concert this May 14 and 16 at the Music Musem?

Entitled I Am Woman, the concert will have Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, Christian Bautista, Richard Poon, Jasmine Fitzgerald, Coolchx member Gemma Fitzgerald and Nico Antonio as special guests.
