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.

Princes of OPM on PINOY song magazine

Three male singers dubbed as the "Princes of OPM" on the cover of PINOY song magazine for its October-November 2010 issue.

They are Prince of RNB Jay R Sillona, Asia's Pop Idol Christian Bautista and Pop Heartthrob Mark Bautista.

Prince of Pop Erik Santos I think should have taken the place of Mark or at least, be part of the cover as he is also deserving to be called "Prince of OPM".

But anyway, the latest issue is PINOY's 7th anniversary special.

It's available now at all 7/11 and Mini-Stop outlets, Odyssey Record Bars, magazine stores and newsstands nationwide.

Sarah Geronimo NOT moving to GMA 7

Just because her Viva co-artists Rachelle Ann Go and Mark Bautista
have transferred to GMA 7 or the Kapuso network, Sarah Geronimo has also been rumored moving back to GMA.

Mark transferred in March, then Rachelle followed in April. After that, Sarah has been rumored to join them especially during the times
she's absent on ASAP XV just lately.

When in fact, Sarah was in the US and Canada for her Record Breaker concert series. The good news is, she's back on ASAP XV on July 04 and definitely, still a Kapamilya as the show will give her a monthlong birthday celebration.

Sarah already denied to ABS-CBN News last April that she was offered a 30million contract by GMA 7. She was actually clueless about it. Reportedly, Viva refused the offer
because they owe ABS-CBN a lot for making Sarah among the biggest stars today.

In July 2009, Sarah renewed her contract with ABS-CBN and I think it's valid until 2011.

Included in the contract are two teleseryes for her. It's impossible for her to transfer now because she hasn't started any teleserye yet, which ABS-CBN is obligated to give her and Sarah is also supposed to
do it.

One teleserye that Sarah is about to do is a "Glee-inspired" musical TV series with Sam Milby and Matteo Guidicelli. She's also set to do 2
movies with Star Cinema, one is a follow-up to her successful teamup
with John Lloyd Cruz which possibly could give her a 3rd Box Office Queen title.

If Viva is indeed planning to bring Sarah to the Kapuso network, I hope they will think of it a hundred times. As one fan said, "Tanga
ang Viva kung ilipat nila si Sarah."
