"Galema, Anak ni Zuma" Soon on ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN's upcoming new show "Galema, Anak ni Zuma" will depict the story of mythical creatures known for having a two-headed snake wrapped around the shoulders. The Kapamilya Network and the creators of the original Zuma series—director Ben Yalung and writer Jim Fernandez—have already agreed to bring it to life again via television.

Galema, Anak ni Zuma is sure to heat up your nights with the beautiful and sultry Galema, which will be played by one of the most talented and stunning faces in showbiz.

The man behind the hit series Marina, Kampanerang Kuba, Dyosa and other popular fantaseryes, director Wenn Deramas will create the television version of Galema with Raymund Dizon as business unit head.

Anak ni Zuma was serialized by Aliwan Komiks from 1976 to 1984, making it one of the longest running series in Philippine komiks. In 1985, the film Zuma was shown to the public with Max Laurel cast as the evil Zuma and Snooky Serna as his kind-hearted daughter named Galema. Max reprised his role in the follow-up film titled Anak ni Zuma.

In the 1985 movie, Zuma (Max Laurel) was entombed in a buried Aztec pyramid but he was unearthed by an archaeological expedition team. The demigod wrecks havoc in the world but he is buried again in an avalanche. Years later, he resurfaces and faces his offspring (played by then child star Snooky Serna).

Usong uso naman ngayon ‘yung libro na ginagawang TV series o pelikula tulad ng Harry Potter at Twilight… ang lakas ng kilig, ng romance element, kaya maraming makaka-relate." said Direk Lauren Dyogi - the head of this project.

Precious Hearts Romances Publisher Jun Matias, on the other hand said that he is honored with the trust that ABS-CBN gave to their books. "Masaya kami. Noong una pa lang, sa 18 years ng Precious Heart, nakikita ko nang may potential ang mga books namin na magawa into TV or movie."

Madonna y Shakira harán dueto

La cantante colombiana Shakira grabará un tema junto a la reina del pop, Madonna. El título de la canción es ‘Forgive’, y se espera que aparezca en su próximo disco. En un principio se pensó que Rihana también podría grabar otro tema junto a Shakira, pero parece ser que los productores no están muy satisfechos con las turbulencias que ahora mismo rodean a la joven canante, sobre todo tras perdonar a su agresor, Chris Brown, tras una sonada paliza previa a los Grammy.

Me alegro, me gusta mucho más Shakira que Rihana .
Y Madonna ya necesita acompañarse de gente joven.

Aniston la más sensual

Si Eva Longoria es la más sexy de la tele.
Jennifer Aniston ha resultado la más sensual del mundo, según la revista
masculina "Details", todo un detalle para la lozana cuarentona. En segundo lugar ha quedado Megan Fox.
A falta de un papel Chica Bond, esto es mejor que nada.
Y quiere ser madre, me refiero a Jennifer, podría pedirle a Angelina que le dejara a Brad unos días.
Más guapo no creo que encuentre, y parece que ella también lo sabe.
