Masayang-masayang ibinahagi ni Raymond Gutierrez ang kanyang emosyon sa pagtatambal na gagawin nina KC Concepcion at Richard, ang kakambal ni Raymond.

"Who is not excited?" ganting tanong nito sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) matapos niyang kapanayamin mismo ang dalawa para sa Showbiz Central ngayong Linggo.

Ayon sa kuwento ni Raymond, matagal na niyang alam na supercrush ng kakambal ang anak ni Megastar Sharon Cuneta.

"We were still in high school...ay, grabe na kung kiligin iyang si ‘Chard kay KC," kuwento ng Showbiz Central host sa PEP.

Nag-umpisa nga raw ang lahat sa isang soirée (evening party) kung saan isang common friend nila ang nag-introduce kina KC at Richard.

"Since then, hindi na nakalimutan ni ‘Chard si Kayce [isa pang tawag kay KC ng mga kaibigan niya]," hirit pa ni Raymond.

Natatandaan pa nga ng TV host kung paanong halos kabaliwan daw ng kapatid ang mga commercials ni KC at kung paano itong kiligin every time na nakikita niya ang mga ito sa TV man o sa mga billboards.

At dahil laglagan na rin lang ang naging paksa ng usapan para sa naturang Showbiz Central interview, ibinuking na ni Raymond kung paanong at one time ay halos magkandarapa ang kapatid para madaliin ang paliligo para lang maabutan ang pagkanta ni KC.

"It happened in a beach party where we were all invited. KC was invited to sing. E, that time nasa CR si ‘Chard at naliligo, pero nang marinig niyang kumanta si Kayce, talagang halos tapusin na niya ang pagligo. Kahit may sabon pa ang katawan, tumakbo talaga siya para live niyang mapanood at marinig si Kayce. Pero yun nga, sad to say, hindi niya ito naabutan," kuwento ni Raymond.

Kaya nga raw looking forward siya sa mga pelikulang pagsasamahan ng dalawa under Star Cinema at GMA Films, dahil tiyak niyang sa promo ay matutupad din ang dating wish ng kakambal na mapanood umawit nang live si KC.

At bilang karagdagang trivia, may isang stipulation pala sa pinirmahang kontrata ni Richard sa GMA Films na sisikapin nitong "kumanta" along with KC if the time comes na kailangan na nilang mag-promote ng When I Met You, ang 2009 Valentine movie nila sa nasabing film outift, na isusulat at ididirek ni Jose Javier Reyes. - Philippine Entertainment Portal

Nadagdagan ang interes ng mga Pinoy sa katatapos lang na seventh season ng American idol dahil sa pagkakasali sa Top 12 ng Fillipino-American na si Ramiele Malubay.

Bagama't marami-rami na ring mga Fil-Am ang nakasali sa Top 24 ng nangungunang singing talent search sa Amerika, si Ramiele pa lang ang ikatlong nakaabot sa Top 12. Ang unang dalawa ay sina Jasmine Trias at Camile Velasco, na naging finalists sa Season 3 kung saan si Fantasia Barrino ang itinanghal na American Idol.

Ramiele finished ninth gaya ni Camille, habang si Jasmine ay nakaabot hanggang third place.

Sa ginanap na finale ng 7th season ng American Idol ay nasilayan muli si Ramiele nang mag-perform siya kasama ang iba pang Top 12 finalists. Una sa opening number kasama ang lahat ng Top 12 finalists; pangalawa kasama ang lima pang finalists with Donna Summer; at pangatlo ay sa huling number ng Top 12 finalists before George Michael's finale number.

Bukod kay Ramiele ay nagkaroon din ng spot number ang Filipino nurse na si Renaldo Lapuz, na naging memorable sa American Idol viewers nang mag-audition siya singing his own composition titled "We're Brothers Forever."

Bagama't unqualified si Renaldo dahil overage na siya — he's already 45 years old — ay pinagbigyan pa rin siyang mag-audition. Natuwa sa kanya ang mga Idol judges na sina Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, at pati na ang kinatatakutang si Simon Cowell dahil sa kanyang awitin at kasuotan. Hinulaan pa nga ni Simon na magiging sikat ang original composition ni Renaldo.

Sa finale ng American Idol ay si Renaldo lamang ang nagkaroon ng solo number sa mga na-reject na nag-audition. Ang ibang rejects or "worst auditions" ay ipinakita lang sa video, samantalang si Renaldo ay nag-perform sa loob ng Nokia Theater sa Los Angeles, California gaya ng Top 12 finalists at ang mga naging guest performers gaya nina Donna Summers, Brian Adams, Seal, Jonas Brothers, Graham Nash, ZZ Top, OneRepublic, Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwod, George Michael, at iba pa.

Acapella ang intro ni Renaldo sa signature song niyang "We're Brothers Forever" pero sinabayan siya ng isang buong school band sa kalagitnaan. Umakyat din sa stage sina Randy at Paula pati na ang host na si Ryan Seacrest para samahan ang Idol reject, na nakasuot ng kanyang trademark costume.

But the night truly belonged to the two Davids—David Cook and David Archuleta—na siyang naglaban para sa titulong American Idol. In the end, nanaig si David Cook na mahigit 12 million votes ang lamang sa 17-year-old na si David Archuleta. - Philippine Entertainment Portal

Pumirma na si KC Concepcion ng kontrata sa GMA Films para sa Valentine movie nila ni Richard Gutierrez. At dahil ito ang unang pagkakataon na nakatapak si KC sa bakuran ng Kapuso network, hindi napigilan ng ilang press people na itanong – posible kaya na si KC ang susunod na “Darna?"

Kasama kasi sa plano ng GMA 7 na sabay paliparin sa primetime sina “Darna" na ginampanan noon ni Angel Locsin at si “Captain Barbell" na dating ginampanan ni Richard.

Minsan na rin nagpahayag si Mega Star Sharon Cuneta na gusto niyang mag-Darna ang kanyang magandang dalaga na si KC.

“Kung Ok lang kay Chard?," tugon ni KC sa tanong ng media sa posibilidad na siya ang maging “Darna."

“That will be a dream come true," sagot naman ng aktor.

Aminado si KC na kabado siya sa unang pagtapak sa bakuran ng GMA network. Ngunit ang kaba ay napalitan ng excitement dahil sa mainit na pagtanggap sa kanya ng mga top executives ng Kapuso network.

Magkasama sina Richard at KC na pumasok sa Executive Board Room sa 16th floor ng GMA Network kung saan ginawa ang contract signing. Dito ay mainit na welcome ang ibinigay sa kanya ng top executives ng GMA Films na sina Atty. Annette Gozon-Abrogar, Joey Abacan, at Noel Ferrer.

Kasama rin sa contract signing si Direk Joey Javier Reyes na madidirek ng Valentine movie nina KC at Richard na may working title “When I Met You."

Dahil mismong si Direk Joey ang nagbigay ng katiyakan na magiging “very sweet" ang gagawin nila movie, hindi maiwasan na biruin kung magkahulugan ng loob sina Richard at KC.

“I’m not closing my door or anything…lets see what will happen… we'll take it step by step," ayon kay Richard.

“We gonna have fun. We gonna rock and roll," tugon naman ni KC.

Pero ano kaya ang pinakagusto ni Richard na parte ng katawan ni KC? At si KC kay Chard?

“Eyes and lips," sagot ni gwapong aktor. “Eyes and lips," tugon naman ni KC. - Fidel Jimenez, GMANews.TV

Equally excited ang direktor na si Jose Javier Reyes sa pagsasama sa pelikula nina Richard Gutierrez at KC Concepcion para sa Valentine 2009 offering ng GMA Films at Regal Entertainment.

Kaninang tanghali, May 22, ay nasaksihan ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang pagkakataong makatuntong sa unang pagkakataon sa bakuran ng GMA-7 si KC, habang si Direk Joey naman ay magdidirek ng kanyang ikalawang pelikula para sa GMA Films, after My Monster Mom.

Sa contract signing na naganap sa Executive Board Room sa 16th floor ng GMA Network, very warm ang welcome na ibinigay ng top executives ng GMA Films na sina Atty. Annette Gozon-Abrogar, Joey Abacan, at Noel Ferrer kay KC at sa managers niyang sina Shirley Kuan at Sandra Chavez, at pati na rin kay Direk Joey.

MOMENTOUS MOVIE. Bukod sa pagiging direktor ng pelikula nina Rochard at KC na may working title na When I Met You, si Direk Joey rin ang sumulat ng script nito. Ang title ng pelikula ay hango mula sa awitin ng APO Hiking Society.

Ipinangako ni Direk Joey na gagawin niyang "momentous Valentine movie" ang When I Met You para sa lahat.

"It has always been my dream to work with GMA Films, its artists and the people," pahayag ng direktor. "Kaya nga nang una nila akong alukin last year pa for a possible movie project, agad akong nagbigay ng oo sa kanila. And now that is happening, sino ba ang hindi nae-excite lalo pa't makakatrabaho mo ang dalawa sa pinaka-sikat, magaganda, guwapo, mababait, at matatalinong mga batang artista ngayon?"

Mga anak-anakan kung ituring ni Direk Joey sina Richard at KC, lalo na ang huli na talaga raw nasundan niya ang paglaki dahil sa pagiging kaibigan nito sa kanyang ina na si Sharon Cuneta.

"I have known them since they were small," sambit ni Direk Joey patungkol kina Richard at KC. "Even when she was in Paris, we chat via the net and talked about possible movie team-up at iba pang mga bagay. Ganyan ako ka-close sa batang ‘yan.

"Si Richard naman, super bagets pa ‘yan with his twin brother [Raymond Gutierrez] ay nakikita ko na. Kaya nga I really feel old yet feel so young dahil dito. I feel old dahil, heto nga, dati mga babies pa sila na nakikita ko lang. Then, now, gagawan ko na ng movie na may romansa, kilig at hay..." ang masayang lahad ng direktor.

Sa September 2008 pa raw nila nakatakdang umpisahan ang proyekto, immediately after na maipalabas ang unang pagtatambal nina KC at Richard under Star Cinema, ang film arm ng ABS-CBN.

"Hindi muna ako magbibigay ng detalye tungkol sa synopsis o konsepto ng kuwento," pambibitin ni Direk Joey. "Basta ang masasabi ko lang, excited akong bumalik sa genre [romantic movies] kung saan talaga ako nakilala. At dahil Valentine movie ito, this is going to be very dangerous lalo na sa may mga diabetes!" tawa niya.

Sinabi rin ni Direk Joey na inalok din siya ng Star Cinema para sa pagsasama nina KC at Richard. "Pero ayaw ko naman maging suwapang," aniya. "GMA Films first offered me and believed my idea, kaya I have given them my word. Siyempre kung sino naman yung nauna, dun ako."

FUTURE PROJECTS. Kasalukuyang tinatapos ni Direk Joey ang My Monster Mom, na joint venture ng GMA Films at Regal, starring Ruffa Gutierrez and Annabelle Rama. Kaya nga nasabi ng direktor na nakatrabaho na niya ang karamihan sa mga miyembro ng Gutierrez family.

Soon ay uumpisahan na rin ni Direk Joey ang Civil Status: Single with Rufa Mae Quinto. May balita ring muli silang magsasama-sama para sa isang importanteng pelikula nina Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo.

Hanggang ngayon din ay naghihintay si Direk Joey sa opisyal na pagsisimula ng Pinoy Dream Academy ng ABS-CBN, kung saan muli siyang uupo as one of the resident judges.

Umaasa rin ang direktor na magkakaroon pa siya ng ibang movie projects with GMA Films dahil he wishes to work with the likes of Iza Calzado and Dennis Trillo, at makatrabahong muli ang mga gaya nina Rhian Ramos at JC de Vera.

Nang itanong ng PEP kay Direk Joey kung healthy ba ang paggawa niya ng pelikula sa GMA Films bagama't mas una siyang na-identify sa Kapamilya Network, ito ang tugon niya: "Of course. It will help me grow as a director. Kumbaga sa pagkain, hindi naman puro kare-kare na lang ang dapat na kainin. Paminsan naman, mag-adobo ka." - Philippine Entertainment Portal

Proud na proud si Karylle sa nangyayari sa career ng kanyang boyfriend na si Dingdong Dantes. Bukod nga sa may number one telefantasya ito sa primetime na Dyesebel, sunud-sunod pa ang mga nakukuha nitong mga commercial endorsements.

"Ang masasabi ko lang, Dong is the new King of Primetime TV," sabay ngiti ni Karylle.

"I am proud of his achievements and he has been working for this all his life. Nakita ko kung paano niya pinaghirapan ang lahat and now he's reaping all the success. I always tell him na dumating na ang matagal na niyang hinihintay na break and he should enjoy everything na dumarating sa kanya ngayon."

Nag-resign na si Dingdong sa SOP para nga mas mag-concentrate sa Dyesebel at sa movies na gagawin niya. Nami-miss ba ni Karylle si Dong tuwing Sunday?

"May 3G naman ang cellphone, ‘di ba?" tawa ni Karylle.

"Hanggang doon muna kami habang busy siya sa mga trabaho niya. Kami naman ni Dong, open ang communication namin kahit saan man siya naroon. He always calls me up or sends me a video message. Ganyan kami kakulit when it comes to communicating. Hindi napuputol ang ganyan sa amin.

"And since Sunday is Dong's rest day, nagkikita naman kami after ng SOP. We have time naman to go out for dinner and watch a movie. Or pupunta kami somewhere kunsaan we can relax and have time together. There is always quality time sa aming dalawa."

ABOUT MARIAN. Regarding naman sa leading man ni Karylle na si Marian Rivera, sinabi ni Karylle na hindi naman sila close pa nito. Pero hindi naman daw sila nag-iiwasan tulad ng mga naunang balita.

"Kapag guest naman si Marian sa SOP, nagbabatian naman kami. Marian is a sweet girl naman. Kahit saan naman kami magkita niyan, nagbabatian kami.

"Kaya nga nagtataka ako saan nanggagaling ang balita na na-snub ko raw siya or na-snub niya ako. It's not true because I find Marian a nice person. Wala naman siyang pinakitang hindi maganda sa akin kapag nagkikita kami."

Dahil nga sa success ng team-up nila Marian at Dingdong sa Marimar at Dyesebel, hindi ba nagseselos si Karylle kahit minsan kay Marian?

"To be honest, hindi talaga," smile pa ni Karylle.

"Siguro nagseselos ako when it comes to time. Kasi nasanay kami ni Dong na we have so much time in our hands dati. Pero noong nag-hit ang Marimar, doon na nag-start yung pag-iba ng mga schedules ni Dong. Yung dating panahon na meron kami, naiba because of his work.

"Kung may pinagselosan man ako, yung trabaho niya iyon and not Marian. Happy nga ako sa team-up nila, e. I was very supportive sa kanilang team-up and up to now, masasabi ko nga na number one fan nila ako."

WANTS TO BOND WITH MARIAN. Kung mabibigyan ng pagkakataon si Karylle, gusto ba niyang maging close kay Marian o makipag-bonding dito balang araw?

"Why not?" ngiti pa ni Karylle. "For the reason na gusto ko siyang mas makilala pa, I would like to bond with her. Wala namang masama roon, ‘di ba?

"Ako naman, I like to get to know other people naman, lalo na si Marian who is working closely with Dong, gusto ko rin naman siyang makilala nang husto.

"Maybe someday mangyayari iyon. Nakikita n'yo naman na both Dong and Marian are busy at naging busy na rin ako with Pinoy Idol Extra. Who knows na baka one day biglang makita nila na magkasama na kami ni Marian, ‘di ba?

"Anything can happen kasi maliit lang naman ang mundo na ginagalawan natin. It's better na we all get along with one another," pagtatapos pa ni Karylle. PEP
