Those fortunate enough to have watched the Gulong ng Palad episode where lead character Luisa's (Kristine Hermosa) father, Tomas (Joel Torre), died of a combination of a heart-attack and a train track accident would remember the preview that ABS-CBN presented right after the show. In the succeeding events after the death of Tomas, Menang (Cherie Gil) loses the mayoralty elections and has now lost

It's been a couple of months since the first chapter of Ang Panday ended. ABS-CBN promised chapter two is coming early this 2006. But it's March and we still haven't had a peek at chapter 2!At any rate, I'm enjoying watching Gulong ng Palad so much, that I would have hardly noticed. But I'm kind of missing the Panday action scenes (and of course the Heart Evangelista outfits, hehe).

Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition housemate Rustom Padilla admitted he's gay.So, what's new?Well, for one thing, Rustom's younger brother, Robin, telling national television that it's all right for his brother to be gay.Robin went to the Pinoy Big Brother house fuming mad earlier to confront Rustom's fellow housemate Christian Vasquez, who had been wearing skimpy outfits seemingly to tease

I mean, it doesn't seem to be as popular as the original Pinoy Big Brother. What gives?Maybe people got bored of the concept. Or maybe it's not as exciting to see celebs on TV than total strangers (well, Cass and Sam weren't exactly strangers to showbiz, actually).I, for one, no longer watch PBB Celebrity edition because it didn't seem to be as exciting as the original PBB was.Here's something

I've been very busy so it's been more than a month since my last article here. Does anyone want to discuss anything Pinoy-showbiz related? Any new scandals lately? What's interesting in the Philippine Entertainment scene? It's all politics on TV these days, especially with the failed coup attempts.

According to the J Spot, the Gulong ng Palad theme song is not original, and was copied from a 1975 French movie theme.Here's something interesting. I read and verified that the theme for GNP has the very same melody as the 1975 soft-core French film Emmanuelle 2.I have yet to acquire a copy of the Gulong ng Palad theme, but I got myself a copy of L'amour D'aimer, the main theme from Emmanuelle 2

I've been getting a peek of ABS-CBN's latest Gulong ng Palad soap opera and I couldn't help but wonder about some oddities.For one, it seems that the country folk, particularly Luisa, Kristine Hermosa's character, always get to wear cool looking, spanking new branded clothes. I also notice how made up the characters are. And they're supposed to be struggling and poor?Also, why in the world would

ABS-CBN, one of the Philippines' larger networks, revives the 70's soap opera Gulong ng Palad (loosely translated to "wheels of fate"). The television comeback, while modernized and revamped with present-day allusions and storylines, still embodies the poor-girl-meets-rich-boy story.In this 21st century incarnation, matinee idols Kristine Hermosa and TJ Trinidad play the lead roles of Luisa and

Pinoy Big Brother housemate Franzen is set to be evicted this Saturday, November 19, 2005. This forced eviction is in accordance with the Pinoy Big Brother House Rules that Franzen has blatantly violated repeatedly in the past few days and weeks of the program.Fellow Housemate Cass earlier volunteered to be evicted instead, and this prompted voting between the two.But since Franzen repeatedly

Heartthrob Sam Milby is the fifth Pinoy Big Brother Housemate to be evicted. Jason, the other nominee for the week, prevailed by a very slim lead. Jason got 53.8%, while Sam 46.2%.Actually, while it may be "Goodbye, Sam" for the Pinoy Big Brother Housemates, fans are looking forward to seeing more of him on Philippine TV. He guested on ASAP '05 to sing "Wherever you will go" (by the Calling).

Serious Jericho Rosales and Heart Evangelista fans will surely love this.

Looks like the "Chx Pix" circulating around the 'net are indeed photos of Pinoy Big Brother's Chx Alcala herself. She admitted in several showbiz talk show interviews that the pictures were indeed hers, and these were taken by her former boyfriend, Love.Love claims she lost her phone in a taxi cab, but there are speculations that he had intentionally released those photos to the public via the
