Us Girls' August Awards 2011 nominees bared

Studio 23's "Us Girls" has revealed the nominees for its 3rd August Awards (2011) and among the nominees are controversial stars like Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, Heart Evangelista and more.

You've heard the news about Heart Evangelista vs Marian Rivera over Dingdong Dantes, but for Us Girls' August Awards 2011 to be presented next month, they're not competing against each other, as all three of them are nominated in different categories.

Dingdong Dantes is nominated as Most Fashionable Male alongside John Lloyd Cruz, Gerald Anderson, Sam Milby, Jericho Rosales, Jake Cuenca and some other, while girlfriend Marian Rivera is nominated again as Face of the Year along with Bea Alonzo, Angelica Panganiban, Maja Salvador, Jennylyn Mercado and more.

It's already Marian's 2nd consecutive year to get nominated in the said category. During the 2010 August Awards, she got nominated as Face of the Year but lost to Kim Chiu and Kristine Hermosa who tied for the award.

Heart Evangelista meanwhile gets a nod as Most Fashionable Female. Also nominated are Kim Chiu, Rhian Ramos, Georgina Wilson, Isabelle Daza, etc.

Even Heart's boyfriend Daniel Matsunaga is also nominated, but in another category (Bodies of the Year).

Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz in Head and Shoulders TVC

Angel Locsin's new leading man in her newest Head and Shoulders TVC is not Phil Younghusband, but it's her "Imortal" leading man John Lloyd Cruz.

In February, Angel Locsin already announced that someone will join her in a new Head and Shoulders TVC.

"may bagong kapamilya ang Head & Shoulders!☺ abangan!♥" Angel Locsin (@143redangel) posted on Twitter last February 26.

Two names came out as the possible new endorser of Head and Shoulders Anti-Drandruff Shampoo: John Lloyd Cruz, who's paired with Angel in "Imortal", and Phil Younghusband, who was being reported then as Angel's new admirer.

And just last night, it has been officially revealed. It's no other than John Lloyd Cruz, who's making a big shift, from endorsing Clear Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for 2 years, he's now endorsing its rival brand.

If you can still remember, there was an issue before between John Lloyd Cruz and Clear with regard to the Clear TVC in 2009 which supposedly starred John Lloyd with Piolo Pascual and Dingdong Dantes.

John Lloyd reportedly backed out because he was unhappy with the exposure that Clear was supposed to give to him in the new commercial. Jericho Rosales replaced him in the said TVC.

In all fairness to John Lloyd, he accepted Head and Shoulders offer to be its new endorser, more than a year since his contract with Clear expired in Dec. 2009.

Watch Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz in the new Head and Shoulders TVC:

The new Head & Shoulders TVC of Lloydie and Gel came out 2 weeks after their show "Imortal" aired its successful finale last April 29.

Do you think the release of the new TVC is kinda late? It just shows that the two's successful loveteam still continues even if Imortal is over already.

Perhaps, a movie for them could be next.

Erich Gonzales - Enchong Dee, Kim Chiu - Gerald Anderson at Star Magic US Tour 2011

The loveteams of Erich Gonzales - Enchong Dee and Kim Chiu - Gerald Anderson performed together at the recent Star Magic Tour in the US.

And both loveteams did the "nose-to-nose" thing, which made the crowd screamed so loud. Can't blame the audience. It was really "kiligness" to the highest level.

Watch video:

Imortal finale nears, only 4 weeks away!

Imortal, which stars Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz, is now down to its last 16 episodes.

As early as March, it was already being talked about that Imortal is going to end this April.

And now it's indeed happening as it's set to end on April 29, that's 4 weeks from now.

That's kinda sad.

Imortal reportedly is going off air because of declining viewership.

There may be truth to that, but 7 months on air? That's quite an achievement already.

Let's remember that Imortal was the one which paved the way for ABS-CBN to re-claim primetime supremacy in Mega Manila.

Since "Agua Bendita" ended in mid-September 2010, ABS-CBN's primetime line-up became weak and GMA had a much stronger line-up of shows led by Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown.

But the supremacy went back to ABS-CBN when Imortal premiered in October 4 and debuted on top spot.

AGB Mega Manila ratings, October 4, 2010:
1. Imortal (ABS-CBN) - 15.1%
2. Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown (GMA-7) - 13.5%
3. 24 Oras (GMA-7) - 13.3%
4. Noah (ABS-CBN) - 13.1%
5. Ilumina (GMA-7) - 12.7%

Even if a new show (Mara Clara) became part of ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida (starting in October 25), Imortal still continued to be on top.

AGB Mega Manila ratings, November 30, 2010:
1. Imortal (ABS-CBN) - 13.2%
2. 24 Oras (GMA-7) - 11.9%
3. Willing Willie (TV5) - 11.8%
4. Mara Clara (ABS-CBN) - 11.6%
5. Bantatay (GMA-7) - 11.3%

Mara Clara only dominated primetime race starting in February.

AGB Mega Manila ratings, February 1, 2010:
1. Mara Clara (ABS-CBN) - 14.8%
2. 24 Oras (GMA-7) - 12.1%
3. Imortal (ABS-CBN) - 11.7%
4. Bantatay (GMA-7) / Dwarfina (GMA-7) - 11.5%
5. The Baker King (GMA-7) - 11.1%

John Lloyd Cruz dethroned as Box Office King

John Lloyd Cruz's 3-year streak as Box Office King has ended.

John Lloyd held the title beginning in 2007 for the movie "One More Chance", then the next year for "A Very Special Love" and again in 2009 for "You Changed My Life".

And for 2010, he almost retained the title with two box-office hits under Star Cinema: "Miss You Like Crazy" with Bea Alonzo and "My Amnesia Girl" with Toni Gonzaga.

But neither of the two films surpassed the earnings of the MMFF 2010 entries "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote", which starred Sen. Bong Revilla Jr and Vic Sotto, under GMA-Regal Films and "Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To", starred Ai-Ai delas Alas, produced by Star Cinema.

Guillermo Mendoza Scholarship Foundation has officially announced that the Box Office King title for 2010 will be awarded to Sen. Bong and Vic, while the Box Office Queen is Ai-Ai delas Alas.

It goes to show that they already changed the ruling now. Instead of the December 31 cut-off, they used January 7 as the cut-off in determining who will be crowned with the titles.

(I smell politics here.)

December 31 Cut-Off:
1. My Amnesia Girl P144.8M
2. Miss You Like Crazy P143M
3. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote P123M (estimated amount only)
4. Here Comes the Bride P116M
5. Petrang Kabayo P115.5M
6. Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To P109M (estimated amount only)

January 7 Cut-Off:
1. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote P159M
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To P157M
3. My Amnesia Girl P144.8M
4. Miss You Like Crazy P143M
5. Here Comes the Bride P116M
6. Petrang Kabayo P115.4M P115.5M

This news saddens the fans of both John Lloyd and Toni 'coz the movie "My Amnesia Girl" was shown for a month only, from November 24 to December 24, and had to give way to the MMFF 2010 entries which opened on December 25.

"My Amnesia Girl" could have earned more than its final gross if it was extended for 1-2 weeks, just like John Lloyd's previous films which made him a Box Office King.

So maybe next time, if MMFF is coming in a month, don't release a new movie.

With the new ruling, it's most likely that the Box Office King and Queen titles for 2011 and the coming years will go to the stars whose movies were shown for the MMFF.

Shall we expect Ai-Ai, Bong and Vic getting the titles year after year?

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson are still Chowking ambassadors

Kim Chiu has been retained as a Chowking endorser.

Last Tuesday, Chowking held its 2011 Chinese New Year Celebration and the endorsers present at the event were Kim Chiu and Jericho Rosales.

And how about Gerald Anderson?

Gerald is still a Chowking endorser. In fact, he just shot a new TVC for Chowking Halo-Halo, which will air this March.

***

Meanwhile, Jollibee has already launched its new endorser, Enchong Dee, specifically for its new Jollibee Float (obviously inspired from McDonald's McFloat). Have you seen his TVC already? Enchong's such a cutie there!

Here's Enchong's poster for Jollibee float:

But have you noticed? Star Magic talents are now the dominant endorsers of major fast-food chains/restaurants in the country: Kim and Gerald for Chowking, Enchong and Sam Concepcion for Jollibee, Piolo Pascual for Max's, Diether Ocampo for Pizza Hut and John Lloyd Cruz for Greenwhich.

Phil Younghusband is hotter than Piolo Pascual

Azkals' Phil Younghusband has topped Mykiru's January 2011 Hottest Hunks Poll.

The said poll, which is a qualifying stage for the Philippines' Hottest Hunks Poll for 2011, had 20 names of men as choices and asked the voters for 10 hunks who they think were the hottest in January.

It was Phil Younghusband who got the highest number of votes, 12.33% of the total votes while Piolo Pascual, boyfriend of Phil's crush KC Concepcion, came in 2nd with 10.57%.

Here's the Top 10 Hottest Hunks for January 2011, as voted by you:

1. Phil Younghusband 12.33%
2. Piolo Pascual 10.57%
3. Daniel Matsunaga 8.81%
4. Rafael Rosell 7.27%
5. Enrique Gil 5.95%
6. Edward Mendez 5.29%
7. Ejay Falcon 5.29%
8. Richard Gutierrez 5.07%
9. John Lloyd Cruz 4.85%
10. Jhake Vargas 4.41%

Phil, Piolo and the rest of the Top 10 will now join 90 other men in the Philippines' Hottest Hunks 2011 Poll which will start in October.

Next month, a new poll will be opened for the Hottest Hunks in February 2011 and again the Top 10 hunks who topped the poll will move to the next round.

Check HERE to see who have already qualified for the annual poll.

For now, here are some mouth-watering, shirtless pics of Phil Younghusband for you to fantasize on:

Ruffa Gutierrez receives call from a crying Shaina Magdayao at 2 in the morning

The Ruffa Gutierrez-John Lloyd Cruz-Shaina Magdayao love triangle continues this 2011 with the news that Ruffa allegedly received a recent call from Shaina.

Ruffa Gutierrez had a special relationship with John Lloyd Cruz who's now a boyfriend to Shaina Magdayao.

And therefore, Shaina calling Ruffa could be about John Lloyd.

According to tabloid reports, Shaina called Ruffa at 2AM, but it's unknown why she called, when it happened and who told them about it.

Pep.ph reported yesterday that Tweetbiz host Tim Yap asked Ruffa thru text about the tabloid reports and she confirmed that she indeed got a call from Shaina at 2 in the morning while she was already sleeping.

"Realllyyy? Who said?? Yes she called but I were half asleep next to my girls (hellow it was 2 am!) so I couldn't talk. Simply told her that if she had a problem...to go ask JL not me. That's all I'm gonna say Timmie. Pasensya na. Kaloka!" Ruffa told Tim thru text.

Though Ruffa did not reveal the exact reason why Shaina called or if the latter was confrontational to her, there's a rumor going on that Shaina was allegedly crying when she called Ruffa.

Shaina allegedly was suspecting Ruffa still communicating with her boyfriend JL.

It's unknown where Shaina got Ruffa's number or if she was using JL's phone when she called.

I think Ruffa needs to change her number, what do you think?

Because if Shaina indeed called Ruffa, it's very possible that JL also knows Ruffa's number and as long as the communication between Ruffa and JL is open, Shaina won't have peace of mind and will be worrying again and again.

Shaina hasn't reacted yet but just today, Star Magic, who manages Shaina, has released a short statement confirming that the two indeed talked on the phone. "Yes, it's true. The ladies had a private and cordial talk."

Ruffa meanwhile posted on Twitter yesterday that she's not gonna dwell more on the issue. "For those waiting for my pasabog or tell-all...I'm soooo sorry to disappoint you but it's not gonna happen. You can wonder & guess all you want, give your blatant opinions, sweet or violent reactions but at the end of the day tweeties it's our lives, our happiness & frankly none of anyone business."

She also tweeted a meaningful message, borrowing a quote from Julia Roberts. "I believe that if two people are connected at the heart...it doesn't matter what you do or who you are or where you live. THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES OR BARRIERS IF THE PEOPLE ARE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER."

Is it just a plain message? Or is Ruffa referring to JL and Shaina? Or could it be about her and JL?

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson will be together again in New York this April for the Star Magic 18: Live in NYC concert.

Toni Gonzaga, Bea Alonzo or Ai-Ai delas Alas: Who will be crowned Box Office Queen for 2010?

Toni Gonzaga might get the Box Office Queen 2010 title for the film "My Amnesia Girl" opposite John Lloyd Cruz, who's also a possible Box Office King for 2010.

And that is if Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation (GMMSF), who gives out those titles, won't change its rules that only the movies' earnings until December 31 will be counted in determining the top-grossing film of the year.

According to the figures available at Box Office Mojo, "My Amnesia Girl" (MAG) was the top-grossing Pinoy film for 2010 with $3,288,330 or P144.81 million gross revenues.

In close 2nd is the John Lloyd-Bea Alonzo starrer "Miss You Like Crazy" (MYLC) with $3,183,529 or P142.97 million gross.

With that, it's no doubt that John Lloyd is 2010's Box Office King while Toni could be the Box Office Queen.

And since the earnings of the two above-mentioned films are very close, other tabulators might have different figures, and "Miss You Like Crazy" could possibly be the topgrosser. Its star Bea Alonzo might also be the Box Office Queen.

It will now all depend on what figures will be used by GMMSF.

How about the MMFF 2010 films?

Two of the MMFF 2010 entries, "Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last Na 'To)" and "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote", have collected earnings that are much higher than MAG and MYLC from December 25, 2010 to January 7, 2011.

But unfortunately, when only the earnings until December 31 are considered, the two MMFF entries failed to surpass that of MAG and MYLC.

"Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To" had P171 million gross receipts from Dec. 25 to Jan. 9 but counting until Dec. 31 only, it had an estimated gross of P109 million.

Same goes for "Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote", which starred Bong Revilla and Vic Sotto. It had a high P159M gross revenues from Dec. 25 to Jan. 7, but only had P123M (estimated) from Dec. 25th to the 31st.

"Tanging Ina" lead star Ai-Ai delas Alas will for sure react again if ever she's not the 2010 Box Office Queen during the 2011 Box Office Entertainment Awards happening middle of this year.

In 2008, Ai-Ai was a bit disappointed that she was not crowned with the title. Sarah Geronimo was that year's Box Office Queen while Ai-Ai had to settle with Comedy Box Office Queen title (as a consolation).

And it seems like it's gonna happen again this year. Ai-Ai might just end up as Comedy Box Office Queen for 2010 as another consolation to her.

Here's how Pinoy films performed in the box-office for the year ended December 31, 2010:

1. My Amnesia Girl P144,818,053
2. Miss You Like Crazy P142,972,287
3. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote P123M (estimated amount only)
4. Here Comes the Bride P116,028,484
5. Petrang Kabayo P115,494,375
6. Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To P109M (estimated amount only)
7. You to Me Are Everything P98,560,645
8. Babe, I Love You P96,185,439
9. Paano Na Kaya P82,023,631
10. Hating Kapatid P81,978,652
11. Dalaw P66M (estimated amount only)
12. In Your Eyes P62,775,365
13. Cinco P60,755,512
14. Till My Heartaches End P60,476,687
15. Sa 'Yo Lamang P50,230,216
16. I Do P42,441,264
17. I'll Be There P42,205,231
18. Shake, Rattle & Roll XII P40M (estimated amount only)
19. Working Girls P32,326,254
20. White House P23,027,565
21. Mamarazzi P21,559,704
22. RPG Metanoia P21M (estimated amount only)
23. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe P14M (estimated amount only)
24. Rosario P13M (estimated amount only)
25. Noy P9,947,742
26. Father Jejemon P6M (estimated amount only)
27. Emir P3,089,773

John Lloyd-Shaina "Lock-up", top story of 2010

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Angel Locsin & John Lloyd Cruz excite viewers with their wedding & honeymoon in "Imortal"

Angel Locsin has a new leading man in "Imortal"?

Look!!! And they got so close to each other!

Don't panic guys! The guy above is Michael Elhag and he's just one of the "Mandirigmang Lobo" in the hit ABS-CBN soap "Imortal" where Angel plays Lia ("Ang Nakatakdang Lobo").

Mandirigmang Lobo also includes Carlos Agassi, Nikki Bacolod, Van Roxas, Fred Payawan, Gem Ramos, David Chua, Joyce So, Heidi Riego and many more.

Here they are:

LIA AND MATTEO WEDDING

"Imortal" director Jerry Lopez Sineneng gave a hint to Nel Alejandrino of People's Journal that Lia (Angel Locsin) and Matteo (John Lloyd Cruz) will marry each other very soon and will have a very exciting honeymoon. "Lalong kaabang-kabang ang mga episodes ng Imortal. Magpapakasal na sina Lia at Matteo, na hindi pa natutuklasan ni Lia ang tunay na pagkatao ni Matteo. The honeymoon scenes nina Lia at Matteo ay “must” na panoorin. It will be a first on Philippine TV," Direk Jerry said.

Just the thought of it already excites avid viewers of "Imortal", which is currently the #1 Primetime TV Series in the country.

On "Angel Locsin" Facebook Page, fan Zaldy Brazil Villados says, "wow ! again SUPER LIKE AND LOVIN IT ! uhm super EXCITED na aco can't wait rrrr ! sana mapalabas na yan b4 mag start ang clasze nxt year para mka panuod aco !

Another fan also shares the same feeling. Vienna Marie Santos: "waaaaaaahhh.. paniguradong madami manonood eto.. magiinit ung tv sa eksenang eto.. i cant wait na.. hindi ko namalayan almost 3 months na pala ung imortal.. parang kailan lang.. bawat eksena kasi hindi boring.. love ko talaga ung imortal.."

Remy R. Langit meanwhile isn't too excited, but she is always excited. "im always looking forward on a scene between angel and john lloyd , aside from being good actors , they really looked very very good on screen !"

I agree with you guys!

"Imortal" airs weeknights on ABS-CBN right after "Mara Clara".

John Lloyd Cruz's group wins on ASAP XV's That's Christmas 2010 | Bea Alonzo now in good terms with Kim Chiu?

Three (3) groups of ASAP XV hosts and artists competed yesterday in "That's Christmas 2010" special of ABS-CBN's ASAP XV.

"That's Christmas" is an annual special by ASAP where the hosts and regular performers got to showcase their talents via a Christmas-themed presentation.

The televiewers were the ones who voted for the winners and they were the Group 2 composed of John Lloyd Cruz, Vina Morales, Gerald Anderson, Jericho Rosales, John Prats, Rayver Cruz, AJ Perez, Mickey Perz, Sitti Navarro, Gab Valenciano, Nel Gomez and Jed Madela, who did an amazing job.

And I totally agree with their choice. Group 2 was the most entertaining group. JL was so funny and I was surprised with Jed Madela, who was not himself that moment.

Watch a video of their presentation:


Also in that same episode where I got to catch Bea Alonzo hosting a prod and then she later introduced Kim Chiu and some other hosts to do the spiels for the next prod.

And then Kim responded to her by saying, "Thank you Bea!"

It's a good sign that the two are okay now after all the issues they had in the past.

On Twitter, fans are happy to know that they're now in good terms, at least as professional hosts of ASAP XV. @cristelmarie said, "great to see and hear that Bea and Kim are ok...Christmas is all about love and peace."

@Solid_Kimerald echoed that and said, "dapat everybody happy na! Spread love this Xmas!"

Also at the ABS-CBN Christmas 2010 Special, Kim and Bea performed together in one production number. They were both included in the prod for the "teleserye leading ladies" with Rico Blanco.

ABS-CBN Christmas 2010 Special: John Lloyd Cruz & Bea Alonzo back in each other's arms

John Lloyd Cruz is paired up once again with his perennial loveteam Bea Alonzo during the ABS-CBN 2010 Christmas Special held in Araneta on Tuesday evening, December 14th.

Angel Locsin, John Lloyd's current leading lady in "Imortal", was sick so she failed to attend the said event, but good thing Bea is always there for John Lloyd.

Bea and John Lloyd were among the 4 pairs in a number featuring the "teleserye loveteams". The other 3 pairs were Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga (Kokey), Cristine Reyes and Zanjoe Marudo (Martha Cecilia's Kristine) and Anne Curtis and Jericho Rosales (Green Rose).

Watch John Lloyd and Bea's number at the ABS-CBN Christmas 2010 Special:

Box Office: "My Amnesia Girl" earns a 5-day opening gross of P43.9 million

Star Cinema's "My Amnesia Girl" faced a strong competition during its opening week, thus failing to land on top of the box office charts.

The movie, which pairs up John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga for the first time, earned P43,863,700 for its first 5 days (November 24 to 28, 2010), and placed only 2nd to the mega hit "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1", which had P46.9 million on its 2nd weekend, according to figures released by BoxOfficeMojo.com.

But the said 5-day opening gross of "My Amnesia Girl" is still considered strong, because it's the 4th biggest opening amongst Filipino movies this 2010.

As of Wednesday night (December 1), according to SNN, the movie already reached the P100-m mark.

Though it appears to be an exaggerated amount as of this moment, it's actually not a doubt that the movie will reach P100-M and become the 4th Pinoy film to achieve it this year.

PHILIPPINE BOX OFFICE FOR 2010 (1ST 5 DAYS GROSS)
1. Miss You Like Crazy P67.6M
2. Petrang Kabayo P53.2M
3. You to Me
Are Everything P48.8M
4. My Amnesia Girl P43.9M
5. Hating Kapatid P42.3M
6. Here Comes
the Bride P42.1M
7. Paano Na Kaya P41.4M
8. In Your Eyes P33.5M
9. Till My Heartaches End P33.0M

John Lloyd Cruz goes shirtless, Joross Gamboa & JM De Guzman get naughty on the set of "My Amnesia Girl"

Box Office King John Lloyd Cruz has finally revealed his "buffed up"
body that he has been hiding for years. Take a look!

Lol!

In the pictures with John Lloyd are Carlos Agassi, Joross Gamboa, JM De Guzman, Ketchup Eusebio and Atoy Co, his co-stars in his latest film "My Amnesia Girl" with Toni Gonzaga as his leading lady.

Last Saturday, they already wrapped up shooting for the Cathy
Garcia-Molina movie, which opens in cinemas on November 24.

And during their last taping day, a real "shooting" happened between Joross and JM.

"My Amnesia Girl" movie theme song: "Mahal Kita Kasi"

Toni Gonzaga sings the theme song of her very own movie with John Lloyd Cruz.

"Mahal Kita Kasi" is originally sung by Nicolehyala and now Toni is giving it a new version for the upcoming Star Cinema movie "My Amnesia Girl".

Though some people are saying that they like the old version of the song, but for me, I like Toni's version more.

Watch and listen to it:

Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, "My Amnesia Girl" opens November 24, 2010. Also starring are Carlos Agassi, Joross Gamboa, Ketchup Eusebio, JM De Guzman, Beatriz Saw, Gee-Ann Abrahan and Ronnie Lazaro.

The movie reminds me of "50 First Dates" which starred Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.

I'm gonna watch the movie just to check how Star Cinema made it different from the said Hollywood movie.
