Sid Lucero, Lovi Poe win Best Drama Actor, Actress in the 8th Enpress Awards

Sid Lucero won his 2nd award from the Entertainment Press Inc. or ENPRESS, the Best Performance by a Actor in a Leading Role (Drama) award for Adolf Alix's gay-themed indie film "Muli" during last night's 8th Golden Screen Awards.

He won over Coco Martin (Noy), Fanny Serrano (Tarima) and John Lloyd Cruz (Miss You Like Crazy).

It was already Sid's 2nd from ENPRESS. He previously won Breakthrough Performance by an Actor for "Donsol" during the 4th Enpress Awards held in 2007.

He is now one of the 10 actors/actresses who have won at least 2 trophies in Enpress Awards' 8-year history.

Cherry Pie Picache, 3 (2004, 2007, 2008)
Judy Ann Santos, 3 (2004, 2005, 2007)
Ara Mina, 2 (2004, 2005)
Coco Martin, 2 (2009, 2010)
Dennis Trillo, 2 (2005, 2010)
Eugene Domingo, 2 (2008, 2010)
Iza Calzado, 2 (2005, 2010)
Sid Lucero, 2 (2007, 2011)
Tirso Cruz III, 2 (2004, 2011)
Zsa Zsa Padilla, 2 (2006, 2011)

It's quite interesting that Sid Lucero won for his role in "Muli" which he declared on Twitter as his LAST gay role.

But it seems like a gay role is the one which usually gives him an acting award. In 2008, Sid also won many awards for a gay portrayal in "Selda".

Meanwhile, Lovi Poe was the winner of the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for Drama on this year's Enpress Awards.

This Kapuso star won for the Cinemalaya 2010 entry "Mayohan", beating the likes of Bea Alonzo (Sa’Yo Lamang), Dawn Zulueta (Sigwa) and Lorna Tolentino.

It's her first from Enpress but already her 2nd for the movie "Mayohan".

Amazingly, Lovi has won 3 Best Actress awards in just 8 months. She won Best Actress for "Mayohan" in the 6th Cinemalaya last July, then Best Actress for "Sagrada Familia" in the 58th FAMAS Awards in December and another one for "Mayohan" just last night.

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.

Sid Lucero loses to British actor Bob Hoskins at International Emmy Awards 2010

Filipino actor Sid Lucero failed to win as Best Actor at the 38th International Emmy Awards held last night, November 22, 2010, at the Hilton New York Hotel.

He lost the award to 68-year-old British actor Bob Hoskins, who was already a Golden Globe winner and an Oscar nominee.

Sid, who travelled to New York for the event, was nominated for his role in ABS-CBN's "Dahil May Isang Ikaw", which was also competing for the Best Telenovela award but it also lost to Portugal's "My Love".

The 29-year-old actor was the 3rd Filipino and the first Filipino actor to score an acting nod at Int'l Emmy nomination and that alone makes him a winner.

He shared on Twitter that he got the chance to shake hands with American Idol ex-judge Simon Cowell, who was there to receive the International Emmy Founders Award.

There were 10 awards at stake in the said event and half of them were won by the United Kingdom while the rest was won by Romania, Israel, South Korea, Argentina and Portugal.

Brazil had 5 nods but won nothing.

Check out the winners:

Arts & Programming - "The Word According to Ion B" (Romania)

Best Performance by an Actor - Bob Hoskins "The Street" (UK)

Best Performance by an Actress - Helena Bonham Carter "Enid" (UK)

Children & Young People - "Shaun the Sheep" (UK)

Comedy - "Traffic Light" (Israel)

Documentary - "Mom and the Red Bean Cake" (South Korea)

Drama - "The Street" (UK)

Non-Scripted Entertainment - "CQC" (Argentina)

Telenovela - "My Love" (Portugal)

TV Movie / Mini-Series - "Small Island" (UK)

Max Eigenmann pregnant with second baby

Actress Maxine "Max" Eigenmann is confirmed pregnant with her second child.

Max is the daughter of Mark Gil and Bing Pimentel, sister of Sid Lucero and half-sister of Andi Eigenmann. This 2010, she appeared in two Kapamilya shows: Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo and Agimat: Tiagong
Akyat.

For 2 weeks now, Max has been rumored as pregnant. And now, it has just been confirmed to be true by Max's father, Mark, when interviewed by SNN tonight.

It will already be Max's 2nd baby after giving birth to Alessandro four years ago, her son with a foreign-looking ex-partner. (Check her
FB to see how cute Alessandro is!)

But it's still a mystery as to who's the father of her 2nd baby.

In June 2010, Max posed for FHM Philippines becoming the 2nd 3rd cover girl (after Jennylyn Mercado and LJ Reyes) to become pregnant just 1 to 2 months after posing for the said magazine.

Sid Lucero, Marian Rivera cover Men's Health, October 2010

Award-winning actor Sid Lucero lands on the cover of Men's Health Philippines this October 2010.

I'm a bit disappointed coz Sid is fully clothed on the cover. For quite a long time now, Men's Health Philippines actually no longer
capitalizes on shirtless cover guys unlike before and also not like Men's Health in other countries (for example in Indonesia).

Aside from Sid's main cover, Men's Health October 2010 issue also has a special flip "guide to style" cover with a hot Marian Rivera on it. She looks so much ready for a workout in bed!

Available now in newsstands for only P140.

Sid Lucero Twitter Announcement: I'm done with gay roles!

Award-winning actor Sid Lucero has made a big announcement last night with regards to his showbiz career.

Sid announced that he's not gonna do gay films anymore...as in he'll never ever do gay roles again.

"Official Announcement: As of today onwards I will no longer take on anymore gay films. I've done enough no more na please," he posted on Twitter.

It's indeed one big decision for the hottest "Eigenmann" today who has portrayed gay roles at least 5 times, mostly in indie films.

He played "gay" in the indie film "Siquijor: The Mystic Island" and in his first mainstream film "Manay Po 2: Overload".

Sid also gone gay and did steamy kissing scenes with Emilio Garcia in "Selda" which earned him awards and nominations. The film gave him an Urian Best Actor trophy, another one from the Gawad Tanglaw and even an international recognition, a Best Actor honor from the Thessaloniki International Film Festival in Greece.

His announcement is also a surprise especially that he recently appeared in his gayest role ever for "Muli" opposite Cogie Domingo and it was screened at the Cinemalaya 2010 as part of the NETPAC entries.

Also a day before, Sid starred as a call boy / masahista in a touching episode of MMK on ABS-CBN. Though he's not actually gay there, it's labeled under "gay role" just like his gigolo role in the indie film "Tambolista" with Coco Martin.

Sid got good reviews for both "Muli" and that MMK's "Pinwheel" episode, and most people were in the midst of congratulating him for his performances when he made the Twitter announcement.

He later apologized to some of his followers on Twitter but analyzing his tweet, obviously he abhors the idea of going gay again. "Apologies to my followers who enjoy my gay roles, but I feel I've done so many na nakakasawa na. I don't get challenged by them anymore. I want another challenge. Tapos na ang chapter sa gay roles. Iba naman!"

Sid revealed he wants variety. He likes to try intelligent roles, fantasy roles and even action. "I love roles when I'm the bad guy," he said, probably, just like his role in "Dahil May Isang Ikaw". (Effectively, he had me hate him there)

Gay comedian Chokoleit, Sid's co-star in "Ligaw na Bulaklak", jokingly responded to his tweet. He said, "I feel for you @SidLucero. Ako din sawa na sa "Gay" roles! Syado nako na type cast! Kelan kaya ulit straight role ko like in Ligaw na Bulaklak?"

"Muli" to be screened at Cinemalaya 2010

Good news for those who are anticipating for Adolf Alix Jr's film entitled "Muli"..

Direk Adolf has shared the news that his gay fim "Muli" which stars Cogie Domingo and Sid Lucero will be screened at the Cinemalaya Philippine Independed Film Festival 2010.

The special screening will be on July 17, that's a Saturday, 6:15 PM, at the CCP Little Theater.

Are you watching?

Sid Lucero and Cogie Domingo start shooting "Muli"

Sid Lucero and Cogie Domingo have already started shooting in Baguio City for the gay film "Muli".

And look at their first pictures for the movie...Sid as Jun and Cogie as Errol are not lookin' good!

So we really have to watch for that movie and see why they look like that...

Cogie Domingo and Sid Lucero are gay lovers in "Muli"

Cogie Domingo and Sid Lucero play gay lovers Jun and Errol in the next Adolf Alix Jr film "Muli".


"Muli" marks Cogie's grand comeback in the movies after being gone in showbiz for years.


His last project on GMA 7 was 'Bakekang' and he was seen guesting once on ABS-CBN's 'The Singing Bee' last year.


And now Cogie is back in a role he never played before. I've heard he and Sid have love scenes in "Muli" where they have to get naked and kiss. Grand comeback indeed!


I'm actually glad that Cogie is returning on camera 'coz he's cute and talented actor. Remember he was GMA 7's acting pride before Dennis Trillo came along.


Cogie's best performance ever in a movie was in the MMFF 2000 entry 'Deathrow' with Eddie Garcia. He was only 15 then.


Cogie's comeback movie is directed by Adolf Alix Jr (Donsol, D'Survivors) under MJM Productions.

'Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal' stars Bangs Garcia and not Roxanne Guinoo

Roxanne Guinoo had been replaced by Bangs Garcia in the TV version of the 1989 movie 'Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal?'.

According to isyuseros, Roxanne was replaced because of her working attitude while taping for 'Your Song Presents: Sa Kanya Pa Rin' last month. Roxanne allegedly showed up in the taping 12 hours late.

This is actually not the first time that Roxanne had been axed from a Kapamilya program. She was also replaced last year by Kaye Abad in 'Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Bud Brothers' because Roxanne allegedly refused to do the sexy scenes with newbie Gujji Lorenzana.

Thanks to Roxanne because Bangs is paired in the new soap with Sid Lucero and Rayver Cruz, and is directed by the multi-awarded film-maker Chito S. Roño.

It also marks Bangs' very first lead role after her breakthrough role in the 2008 action-serye 'Palos' and doing mostly support roles in soaps like 'Kambal Sa Uma', 'My Cheating Heart' and 'Katorse'.

'Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal?' takes the timeslot of 'Nagsimula Sa Puso' starting January 25, 2010, on ABS-CBN.
