Paz Vega, embarazada

Se casaron en Caracas en 2002 en una ceremonia íntima, y poco después anunciaron que «dos prontito y luego, unos años después, uno más». Y parece que Paz Vega y Orson Salazar son gente de palabra, y de buena puntería, por qué no decirlo. Aunque un poco retardada, eso sí. Puesto que hubo que esperar hasta el 2 de mayo de 2007 para que tuvieran a su primer vástago, también Orson en la pila bautismal. Sin embargo, ahora el «dos prontito» sí que es totalmente cierto, y ya se acerca la parejita, pues tal y como informaba ayer la revista «Hola», Paz Vega está de nuevo embarazada.

Parece que la actriz, diferencia muy bien, la vida privada del espectáculo. Sin tener que ladrar a los periodistas, como otros. Ahora a por su segundo hijo, le deseo lo mejor. Es un magnifico regalo de Año Nuevo, quizá el mejor para este matrimonio de personajes simpáticos.

2009 Pinoy Showbiz Predictions: Angel Locsin Will Regain Stardom, Marian Rivera's Falldown, and Other Showbiz Hula

Psychic and Feng Shui Consultant Madame Suzette Arandela predicts that Angel Locsin will have a brighter 2009 ahead of her.

"Babalik ang dating ningning ng kanyang bituin. Makakabawi ang kanyang career ngayong 2009." Madam Suzette shares to Abante-Tonite.

When it comes to her lovelife, Angel will also have a stable relationship with current boyfriend Luis Manzano.

How about this year's hottest star - Marian Rivera?

According to Madam Suzette, if Marian (who was involved with so many intrigues this year) will not change her attitude, her career in 2009 will just be average.

"Kapag hindi nagbago ang attitude niya, magiging average lang ang kanyang career sa 2009. Malamang na mag-slow down ang kanyang career dahil sa kanyang ugali. May isang babaing sisikat ngayong 2009 na masasapawan siya.” she said.

On People's Taliba, it has also been reported that Marian Rivera's career in 2009 will not be as lucky as in 2008.

Quoting from the said article, "Marami ang nagsasabing kahit na nagpakawala ng 'sandosenang appliances si Marian Rivera sa mga entertainment press bago mag-Pasko, hindi pa rin daw ito susuwertihin sa taong 2009. Sabi ng ibang showbiz manghuhula, sasabit daw ang kamalasan kay Marian sa taong 2009 dahil sa mga taong natapakan niya at nasaktan nitong 2008. Dahil nasa personality na raw ni Marian ang pagiging mataray at mapang-api, marami raw ang magwi-wish sa kanyang downfall sa dara-ting na taon."

Other predictions, according to Madame Suzette, includes reconciliation between Sam Milby and Anne Curtis, blockbuster movie for KC Concepcion and Richard Gutierrez, another woman in between James Yap and Kris Aquino, health problems for Joey De Leon and Willie Revillame, more awards for Anne Curtis and Bea Alonzo might get pregnant if becomes careless.

Here are Madame Suzette's predictions for 2009 on some other showbiz personalities:

WILLIE REVILLAME: "Mananatili ang pamamayagpag ng kanyang Wowowee show, pero dapat niyang ingatan ang kanyang kalusugan dahil nakikita kong maoospital siya. Malamang na magkaroon siya ng surgery. Prone pa rin siya sa scandals at mai-involve siya sa ilang mga artistang babae. Magkakaroon siya ng bagong pag-ibig."

RICHARD GUTIERREZ: "Mananatiling pataas ang career niya kahit sino pa ang itambal sa kanya. Dadami pa ang kanyang endorsement. Mag-iingat lang siya sa pagmomotor. Ingatan niya ang kanyang left leg. Pagdating sa kanyang lovelife, wala siyang seryosong makakarelasyon, pero mas magki-click ang tambalan nila ni KC Concepcion. Mas madadalas ang kanyang pagta-travel. Mas magiging ok ang kalusugan ng nanay niyang si Annabelle Rama, pero mas dapat pang mag-ingat ang tatay niyang si Eddie Gutierrez sa kalusugan nito."

KC CONCEPCION: ­"Mas magniningning pa ang bituin. Magkakaroon ng regular TV show. Maghi-hit ang pelikula nila ni Richard (When I Met You). Malamang na mag-aral uli siya. May kinalaman sa art ang pag-aaralan niya. Mas gaganda ang relasyon nila ng amang si Gabby Concepcion, pero prone to sickness ang ama."

SHARON CUNETA: "May darating na family problem, pero pagdating sa career, mananatiling nasa top pa rin, pero may slow month siya sa kanyang career sa buwan ng July at August. Mas magta-travel pa. Malamang na mag-soul searching."

RUFFA GUTIERREZ: ­ "Hindi pa tuluyang natatapos ang istorya nila ni Yilmaz (Bektas). Madalas pa rin silang magko-communicate dahil sa mga anak nilang sina Lorin at Venice. Tungkol sa lovelife, may isang politician na maghahabol sa kanya. Career-wise, mas magiging ok siya at magkakaroon ng bagong pelikula at bagong TV show sa ABS-CBN."

KRIS AQUINO: "Hindi tuluyang matatahimik ang relasyon nila ng mister na si James Yap. Mai-involve si James sa ibang babae, pero hindi sila maghihiwalay. Nakikita kong mahal siya ni James, pero madali itong matukso sa ibang babae. Ingatan niya ang anak na si Joshua dahil prone ito sa sickness.”

DENNIS TRILLO:­ "Magiging ok ang kanyang career. Babalik ang dating sigla ng kanyang career. Magkakaproblema lang siya sa babae. Isang showbiz girl at isang non-showbiz girl ang mai-involve sa kanya. Dapat na mag-ingat siya dahil malamang na makabuntis uli siya."

HEART EVANGELISTA:­ "Mas gaganda ang lovelife. Hindi na talaga sila magkakabalikan ni Jericho (Rosales). “Mas magki-click pa kung ibabalik ang tambalan nila ni Richard (Gutierrez)."

JC DE VERA: "Mas aangat pa ang career this 2009. Mas gaganda ang relasyon nila ni RhianMagkakaroon pa ng maraming investments. Magta-travel din siya. May isang babaing galit pa rin sa kanya hanggang ngayon."

VILMA SANTOS: "Malamang na magkaroon ng surgery na may kinalaman sa uterus, kaya dapat mag-ingat."

NORA AUNOR: "Hindi pa rin makakabawi sa kanyang career. Marami akong nakikitang negative sa kanya. Tungkol sa pera, hindi pa rin maganda ang dating sa kanya at magpapatuloy siya sa paglipat-lipat ng tirahan."

VIC SOTTO:­ "Mananatiling maganda ang relasyon nila ni Pia (Guanio). Patuloy na mamamayagpag ang kanyang career. Malamang na magpakasal ang isang anak niya at magkaroon uli siya ng anak."

JOEY DE LEON: "Dapat careful siya sa kanyang health, lalo na sa kanyang heart. Kikita siya ng malaki sa pagpe-painting. May isang anak na naman siya na papasukin ang showbiz.”

RUFA MAE QUINTO: "Mababawasan ng intriga ang kanyang buhay at tatlong pelikula ang gagawin niya. Hindi pa rin niya mahahanap ang kanyang Mr. Right sa 2009."

OGIE ALCASID: "Magpapatuloy ang kanyang tagumpay at mas gaganda ang relasyon
nila ni Regine."

REGINE VELASQUEZ: "Malamang na magkaroon siya ng accident sa isang malayong lugar. Malamang na ma-hospital sa August o September."

GRETCHEN BARRETTO: "Puro problema sa pag-ibig, pero hindi pa rin sila maghihiwalay ni Tonyboy (Cojuangco)."

PIOLO PASCUAL:­ "Hindi pa rin siya magkakaroon ng serious love relationship. Mas magta-travel."

SAM MILBY: ­"Ingatan niya ang kanyang left leg. Malamang na magkabalikan sila ni Anne (Curtis)."

ANNE CURTIS: ­ "Tatanggap pa ng award. Magiging maganda ang lovelife."

JOHN LLOYD CRUZ: ­"Magkakaroon ng bagong girlfriend."

BEA ALONZO: ­ "May poor health problem. Mai-inlove sa isang non-showbiz guy,
pero mag-ingat at baka mabuntis."

ABS-CBN Denies 'Twilight' Local TV Adaptation

ABS-CBN said there is no truth to the rumor that they are doing a local television version of the hit novel and movie 'Twilight'.

Last week, abs-cbnnews.com reported the local television adaptation but according to ABS-CBN Corporate Communications’ Bong Osorio "There is no truth to the Web reports, particularly in the Perez Hilton blogsite, that ABS-CBN is doing a local adaptation of Twilight. ABS-CBN will be the first to announce if it is, in fact doing so."

The so-called local television adaptation was supposed to be called 'Takipsilim' with Shaina Magdayao and Rayver Cruz as the lead stars. According to the report by abscbnnews.com, the rights for the tv remake of Twilight was bought by ABS-CBN for the price of 1 million US Dollars with Ignite Media as co-producer.

It was also mentioned in the article that the taping of Takipsilim will begin in February 2009 with Cathy Garcia-Molina as the director.

After the rumor was published in the popular Perez Hilton blog, Twilight fans all over the world reacted negatively with 7,600 entries in the petition against the Filipino version of the vampire film.

Fil-Am Michael Copon to Play Jacob Black in Twilight’s Sequel 'New Moon'

Fil-Am actor Michael Copon is reportedly replacing Taylor Lautner for the role of werewolf Jacob Black in the highly anticipated sequel of the box-office hit Twilight entitled “New Moon.”

The Twilight sequel has a new director following news that 53-year-old Catherine Hardwicke had been axed and replaced by Golden Compass helmsman Chris Weitz for New Moon.

Now, another replacement is about to happen. 15-year-old actor Taylor Lautner won’t be reprising his role as the werewolf Jacob Black in favor of the Filipino-American actor and model Michael Copon.

Michael is probably best known for his role in the tv series One Tree Hill and the movies Scorpion King 2 and Elevator. The Fil-Am actor was also the grand winner of VH1’s reality competition “But Can They Sing?”

Also lobbying for a New Moon role is Spanish actor Ben Barnes, best known for his title role in this year’s Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. The 27-year-old is said to be eyeing the role of the mind-reading vampire Aro.

Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in February 2009.

Carlene Aguilar Covers FHM Philippines January 2009 Issue

ASAP That's Christmas

ASAP '08 stars prepared and performed a very special Christmas presentation called 'That's Christmas' which was the show's Christmas gift offering to its loyal televiewers.

The concept of the presentation was based on ABS-CBN's core values like teamwork, camaraderie, teaching, learning, and a true quality bonding experience amongst the stars of ABS-CBN.

ASAP ‘08 stars were divided into three groups to perform ala “That’s Entertainment” style.

Group 1 decided to perform a 60’s inspired “Hair Spray” presentation with a twist - the guys played a female role and the girls played the male role. They danced to the tune of Low and Disturbia. The group composed of John Prats, Shaina Magdayao, Sheryn Regis, Rafael Rosell, Zanjoe Marudo, Gabs Valenciano, Toni Gonzaga, and Gary Valenciano among others.

Group 2 was led by Vhong Navarro. They performed the Michael Jackson hits. This group was composed of Sam Milby, Christian Bautista, Sarah Geronimo, Gerald Anderson, Anne Curtis, Erik Santos, Rayver Cruz, Jericho Rosales, and Vina Morales.

Group 3 was headed by Billy Crawford. They performed a school-movie musicals inspired number. To complete the group were Piolo Pascual, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Karylle, Mark Bautista, Maja Salvador, Kim Chiu, Nikki Gil, Ronnie Liang, Arnel Pineda, Melissa Ricks, Jed Madela and John Lloyd Cruz.

Group 3 was declared the winner, at the end of the show.

"I Wanna Die!" - Anne Curtis, on Her Very First Acting Award

Another Kapamilya actress has received her first Best Actress award after Angel Locsin had it last month.

If Angel proudly uttered "Aktres na ako!" on her acceptance speech, Anne said "It's my first acting award! I wanna die!"

Anne Curtis, female lead of Viva Films' Baler, was adjudged Best Festival Actress in the 34th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Awards Night held last Saturday night, December 27, 2008 at the Harbor Tent, Sofitel Hotel in Pasay City.

In Baler, Anne essayed the role of Feliza Reyes, a young, sweet and wholesome Filipina who fell in love with a Fil-Spanish soldier played by Jericho Rosales.

Anne competed against other worthy contenders such as Ai-Ai delas Alas for Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat, Dawn Zulueta for Magkaibigan, and Marian Rivera for Shake, Rattle & Roll X.

Baler took home a total of 10 awards including Best Picture, Best Director and the much coveted Gatpuno Antonio J. Villegas Cultural Award.

Harrison Ford,presentador en "Morning Glory"

La cuarta aventura del arqueólogo Indiana Jones ha puesto de nuevo en el mapa a Harrison Ford, tras unos años de malas elecciones y pobres recaudaciones. Entre sus próximos proyectos se cuentan Crossing Over, drama coral sobre la inmigración que ha escrito y dirigido Wayne Kramer (La prueba del crimen), y Crowley, historia basada en hechos reales muy similar a El aceite de la vida.
Pero la película que le permitirá mantener el contacto con las taquillas será sin duda Morning Glory, comedia que dirigirá Roger Michell (Venus, El intruso, Notting Hill). El guión de Morning Glory gira en torno a un veterano presentador televisivo que rechaza continuar en su puesto por el tono rosa que está adoptando el noticiario en el que participa, y que por azares del destino acabará presentando un magacine matutino para mujeres.

Tom Brady Gisele Bundchen boda

Tom Brady, quarterback de New England Patriots, y la supermodelo brasileña Gisele Bundchen se casarán próximamente. El deportista tuvo el sí de Gisele durante un vuelo privado entre New Jersey y Boston. Su relación comenzó en 2006.
Según el sitio de Internet Tmz, Brady, dos veces MVP de la Superbowl y convaleciente ahora de una lesión de rodilla, pidió la mano de Giselle la víspera de Navidad. Y la modelo habría aceptado con entusiasmo, aunque la pareja no ha confirmado oficialmente el compromiso. De hecho, el jugador se entrenó ayer con sus compañeros, pero evitó hábilmente a los fotógrafos apostados en los alrededores del Gillette Stadium.

Ha fallecido Eartha Kitt

La cantante y actriz estadounidense Eartha Kitt murió en Nueva York a los 81 años a causa de un cáncer de colon, informó la cadena de noticias CNN en base a la portavoz Patty Freedman.

Kitt, conocida por su voz versátil y particular, se convirtió en la "musa negra" de la bohemia blanca de los años cincuenta. Su fama se debió también a la interpretación de 'Gatúbela' en la serie televisiva 'Batman' en los años sesenta y a la canción 'Santa Baby'.

Lindísimo coche de Paris Hilton

Se ha comprado un coche divino divino , todo de rosa como si fuera de la Señorita Pepis o Barbie. Me refiero a la muy aireada y nunca bien ponderada París Hilton. ¿Con quien la casaremos?, le buscaría a Kent, para una Barbie es lo mejor. Falta que París esté de acuerdo, es muy suya la chica.

2008 Hollywood Teen Queens

A decade ago, the Spice Girls championed "girl power," and in 2008 a slew of talented young ladies seemed to take that message to heart. From Miley and Demi to Dakota and Kristen, teen girls ruled the charts as well as the big and small screens. Here, we look back at the young women who made this the year of the teen queens.

Miley Cyrus
In 2008, Miley survived the controversies of a couple of photo shoots; turned 16 and threw herself a huge bash; found love with an underwear model; and managed to do it all while acting in a few hit movies, getting nominated for a VMA and a Golden Globe, starring in a successful TV show and putting out a hit album.

Taylor Swift
She came on the scene singing about a boy named Drew in her VMA-nominated song "Teardrops on My Guitar," and she finished the year releasing a million-plus-selling record, Fearless, and singing about a more famous ex-love interest, Joe Jonas. The 19-year-old doesn't like being called a crossover artist, but she has definitely crossed over from being an up-and-coming country singer to a full-fledged pop star who isn't afraid to share her feelings about the guys she's dated. Maybe in 2009 she can finally make that hip-hop collaboration happen.

Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale
They may play frenemies in a trio of wildly popular Disney movies, but thanks to the success of the third installment of "High School Musical," both Hudgens and Tisdale are willing to let bygones be bygones as they graduate from their onscreen personas, Gabriella and Sharpay. These two have also managed to find time to have careers in music and shoot non-"HSM" movies set for release in 2009.

Demi Lovato
"Camp Rock" introduced everyone to Demi Lovato, who somehow managed to go from being "the next Miley Cyrus" to being the one and only Demi in just a few months. Her album, Don't Forget, made a splash on the charts, debuting at #2, and she got to work on her upcoming Disney Channel sitcom, "Sonny With a Chance," set to air in 2009. She also hooked up with fellow teen queen Selena Gomez for the movie "Princess Protection Program," but she swears she's never kissed a Jonas Brother. Miley who?

Selena Gomez
She plays a wizard on the Disney Channel, and for this 16-year-old, 2008 was magic. Selena talked about starting a band, and then she stirred the pot when she accidentally revealed to MTV News plans for a "Wizards of Waverly Place" movie. She made a cameo in the Jonas Brothers video for "Burnin' Up" and then reportedly found time to date the youngest JoBro, Nick. On top of all that, Selena and BFF Demi fended off rumors of a feud with Miley.

Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning has grown up right before our eyes. Now the Jodie Foster-approved actress is seamlessly making the transition from kid star to grown-up thespian. Despite some controversy for her role in "Hounddog," Fanning made her way back on the scene in "The Secret Life of Bees" and "Winged Creatures." The latter co-stars Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, who can't stop singing the actress' praises. Miranda Cosgrove
She may not have had the chops to join the band in 2003's "School of Rock," but she somehow managed to find her voice on Nickelodeon, singing the theme to her hit show "iCarly." On the program, Cosgrove's character has her own successful Web show, and like so many performers of her generation, Cosgrove spent part of 2008 working on an album, poising herself to jump on the singing-actress bandwagon.

Emma Roberts
You may know her dad, Eric, or her Aunt Julia, but Emma is out to make it on her own. She's had her own "Unfabulous" TV show, and she played Nancy Drew on the big screen. In 2008, she was busy shooting movies, so her hard work should pay off next year, when we'll see her in "The Winning Season" and "Hotel for Dogs."

Kristen Stewart
Playing "Twilight" heroine Bella has put this indie-film star on the map. She's become a hero to young girls everywhere with her quiet onscreen persona. And her real-life relaxed attitude is landing Stewart in some big roles for 2009: She's been tapped to play rocker Joan Jett in the Runaways biopic, and of course, she and Robert Pattinson will be heating up theaters again in the "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon," on November 20.

Jordin Sparks
The singer was nominated for a VMA for her track "No Air" (with Chris Brown), and she placed herself right in the middle of the Russell-Brand-versus-Jonas-Brothers purity-rings scandal of 2008 by declaring her abstinence in the middle of the live broadcast. "No Air" earned a Grammy nod too, so we may get a chance to see the "American Idol" winner's feisty side onstage come February.

Paz Vega a gusto en Hollywood

Mientras continúa perfeccionando su inglés, Paz Vega dice sentirse muy cómoda trabajando en Los Ángeles, donde vive desde hace un año y medio con su familia.

"El inglés lo voy aprendiendo día a día. Cada día me siento más a gusto. Todavía no consigo eliminar el acento, pero hasta el momento con acento tengo mucho trabajo", dijo la actriz española en una entrevista reciente. "La perfección llegará o no llegará pero es muy difícil cuando eres de afuera conseguir un acento neutro. Yo lo veo imposible".

Paz es de las actrices que pueden hacer algo que valga la pena en Hollywood, aunque, de momento, no tiene nada muy relevante. Ahora está en las carteleras españolas con " The Spirit" de Frank Miller.

2008 Person of the Year

TIME Magazine introduces 2008's Person of the Year. See below who made it to the prestige list:

1. Barack Obama

In one of the craziest elections in American history, he overcame a lack of experience, a funny name, two candidates who are political institutions and the racial divide to become the 44th President of the United States. (Click here to know why TIME chose Obama)

2. Henry Paulson

When he arrived in Washington as Secretary of the Treasury in the summer of 2006, Henry M. (Hank) Paulson Jr.'s top priority was to make certain that his department would have independence and clout. If he was giving up the top job at Goldman Sachs, he wasn't doing it for a sinecure. (Read full article here)

3. Nicolas Sarkozy

There are times when Nicolas Sarkozy resembles a force of nature rather than a conventional political leader. He has energy, ideas and vitality in abundance, as he showed in such matters as his handling of the Georgia crisis and the global economic downturn. Of course, as with any new leader, 18 months — Nicolas was elected President of France in May 2007 — is insufficient time to make a final judgment. But certain elements are already clear. (Read full article here)

4. Sarah Palin
In the beginning, she winked. "I was just your average hockey mom," she told us by way of introduction, which was a charming diversion from the reality of the most astonishing political debut in modern times. Sarah Palin did indeed show she could play politics as a contact sport; her motherhood did become central to her message. But average? Not in your wildest dreams. (Read full article here)

5. Zhang Yimou

On the eighth day of the eighth month of 2008, 2 billion TV viewers and thousands in attendance in the now famous Bird's Nest were treated to an unforgettable spectacle at the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games. (Read full article here)

8. The California Supreme Court ruled that the ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional in May, legalizing gay and lesbian marriages. After going back and forth on having a large, star-studded wedding, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi decided on an intimate ceremony at their Beverly Hills home. The two were wed in front of 19 guests on August 16, 2008.

9. Deborah Lin wed "Sopranos" star James Gandolfini in her native Hawaii on August 30, 2008. Talk about being married to the mob!
