Angel Locsin feeling down a few days before Love Me Again opens

Magkasalungat ang nararamdaman ng dalawang bida ng pelikulang Love Me Again na sina Piolo Pascual at Angel Locsin nang humarap sila sa The Buzz kahapon, January 11. Unang lumabas ang hunk na si Piolo Pascual sa interview ng host na si Boy Abunda. Sinabi ni Piolo na understatement na sabihing happy siya sa kasalukuyan. "More than happiness, I have joy in my heart," paliwanag ng aktor. "I'm so happy with all the achievements I've been getting and how the Lord has blessed me through the years. Magiging selfish na lang po ako 'pag sinabi kong hindi po ako masaya."
Naging very vocal din si Piolo na nagsabing sa ngayon ay wala siyang special girl na matatawag sa kasalukuyan. "To tell you honestly, I wish there is somebody but wala pa talaga." Kung meron man daw isang tao kung kanino siya hihingi ng tawad, ito ay walang iba kundi ang kanyang anak na si Iñigo."Because I don't get to spend much time with him," bungad ng binatang ama. "Twice ko lang siya nakita last year sa (United) States pagpunta ko. Gusto ko talaga, I want to make up for the lost time because hindi na rin siya bumabata." Kasalukuyan ngayong nakatira ang bata sa US kasama ang kanyang ina.
Sa kalagitnaan ng interview ay pinapasok ang leading lady ni Piolo na si Angel Locsin na may dalang birthday cake para sa aktor na nagdiriwang ng kanyang kaarawan sa January 12. Dito ay tinanong na si Angel kung bakit siya biglang naiyak noong kumanta sila sa ASAP ’09 ilang oras lamang ang nakakaraan. "Pasensiya na, malungkot lang ako personal 'yun 'yung sa akin," matamlay na sagot ng dalaga. Noong isang linggo lamang ay perfect 10 ang rating ni Angel sa kanyang career, family at love life. Ano kaya ang biglang nagbago dito? "Pero lately hindi na siguro natin makukuha nang sabay-sabay. 'Yun lang, malungkot lang ako personal." Naging matipid sa sagot si Angel at halatang ayaw sabihin ang tunay na dahilan ng kanyang pag-iyak.
Since mataas ang expectations sa una nilang tambalan ni Piolo sa pelikula, inamin ni Angel na sobrang taas rin ng pressure na nararamdaman niya. "Nararamdaman mo lalo 'yung pressure. Halo-halo talaga 'yung nararamdaman ko. Nagwi-wish lang po talaga ako na kung anuman ang expections ng tao, mapantayan po sana namin," wika ni Angel. Sinabi rin niya na mami-miss niya si Piolo dahil maaaring matagalan pa bago sila magtambal muli. "Mami-miss at mami-miss ko si PJ (Piolo) kasi antagal din naming nagsama at first leading man ko siya dito sa ABS-CBN.”

Is there a rivalry brewing between Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca?

Two of the hottest heartthrobs in showbiz Jake Cuenca and Gerald Anderson are vying for Kim Chiu’s attention in Tayong Dalawa. Both of them are playing characters named David Garcia Jr., one born to a life of privilege and the other, of hardship. Fate will bring them together and the two become sworn brothers until the secrets of their past come out.While they play rivals in the teleserye, some people are thinking that it might be spilling over into real life as well. During the grand press conference of Tayong Dalawa at Teatrino in Greenhills, the members of the cast all contributed prizes to be raffled off. Gerald’s cash gift of P10,000 impressed the press while Jake’s refusal to announce the model of the Nokia phone that he shelled out for the raffle prompted the attendees to speculate who was the more generous one between the two.When he was later teased about why he kept mum about his raffle contribution, Jake replied, “Uy yung cellphone naman na pina-raffle ko maganda ah. Siyempre ang sa akin hindi na importanteng i-announce yun. Pagkadating niya (the cellphone winner) sa reception, [sinabi niya] ‘Wow eto pala nakuha ko!’ O ‘di ba maganda na magugulat na lang siya? Pagdating niya dun (claiming area) magugulat din naman siya sa regalo. Hindi ko na kailangang iyabang kung magkano ‘di ba?” he explained in between laughs. Whether their supposed rivalry will eventually extend to matters of the heart still remains to be seen.Watch Tayong Dalawa when it premieres on ABS-CBN on January 19.

Jake Cuenca isn’t ready to make a commitment

Actor Jake Cuenca said that he is open to reconciling with former girlfriend Roxanne Guinoo and to becoming friends with her again. But when pressed to answer if a romantic reunion was possible, he replied, “Ako ngayon, wala talaga sa isip ko ang committing eh. Gusto ko naman talaga na maging magkaibigan kami ulit.”During the press conference of Tayong Dalawa, his upcoming teleserye with Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson, Jake was told that Roxanne had previously mentioned that she had not yet fully moved on from their breakup. In reaction to this, Jake said, “Hangga’t hindi pa maging masaya si Rox, hangga’t hindi pa siya maging okay hindi ko pa siya matutuldukan [ang relationship]. Ultimately naman ang gusto ko sa kanya ay maging masaya.” In a recent guest appearance on The Buzz, Jake said that he and Roxanne have already talked and that they were able to finally have closure on their relationship.The actor explained that he cherished every moment that he spent with Roxanne and although their relationship did not end well, they both learned a lot from it. “I was really blessed to have spent that much time with Roxanne. Out of everything [that happened], I still cherish everything we all went through. Marami rin kaming natutunan from all the experiences.”Jake and Roxanne recently reunited onscreen for the 2009 opener episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya. Jake said that working with Roxanne was a breeze because she was very professional. “Matagal na kaming hindi nagkakatrabaho ni Roxanne. Hands down. The best person I’ve ever worked with is Roxanne. Siyempre sabay kaming natuto, eh. I’m excited to work with her. Mula nang Palos at Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos?, the best time I’ve spent was with her. The best moment naman on the set was with her. She knows me so well eh, and I know her well. To act with someone like Roxanne is a pleasure.”

Jericho to court Karylle?

The Buzz Host Kris Aquino blurted out to her co-hosts on the show, Ruffa Gutierrez and Boy Abunda, yesterday (December 28) that actor Jericho Rosales has asked an ABS-CBN executive if he could court new Kapamilya star, Karylle. Rumor has it that the actor got the female singer's number and that he was ecstatic about this. "Deo (Endrinal) was with me (last) December 23," Kris related. "Kinuwento ni Deo nag-ask ng permission daw sa kanya si Echo (saying), 'Tito Deo liligawan ko ah, si Karylle.'" Endrinal is the person-in-charge of the shows that Karylle will be doing with the Kapamilya network, such as the upcoming series Maruja.

Boy and Kris then explained to the viewers that Echo was being courteous to the business head for asking permission from him. Ruffa, on the other hand, added that she talked to Genesis Entertainment’s Angeli Pangilinan, who is currently managing Jericho’s career. Karylle was also a former talent of theirs. Angeli somehow confirmed that Echo indeed has his eye on ZsaZsa Padilla’s daughter.“Although type na type ni Echo si Karylle, hindi pa sila nagfo-formal date sa labas and they just see each other during working hours. But si Echo is still single and likes so many girls daw," Ruffa shared.

Meanwhile, Karylle denied that the actor is already courting her. "Dati ko pa siyang kakilala, hindi naman (siya nanliligaw). Hindi totoo 'yon. Right now, I'm just really focusing on my work. Parang iniisip ko ang boyfriend ko ngayon ang trabaho ko," the singer-actress explained.

Jericho, on the other hand, confirmed Karylle's claim that they have known each other a long time ago. "I got her number a long time ago, because we have the same manager before. We're all close, magkakasama kami," he said. Echo added that he admits to texting Karylle once in a while.
