Rumor or not, Vice Ganda might just surprise us because Kris would like to have him join her and Boy Abunda sa The Buzz. Abangan next week sa pag-reveal ng kapalit ni Ruffa Gutierrez and if this is going to be Vice, expect the show to be a riot.
Now, reports said Vice Ganda is also being considered to host the show alongside Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino.
When sought for reaction, 34-year-old Vice Ganda told “The Buzz” on Sunday: "Ay naku! Hindi pa natin alam pero abangan natin. Abangan ninyo kung saka-sakaling mapasama ako sa ‘The Buzz.’ Sabay-sabay ninyo akong salubungin.”
“Kung hindi man, sabay sabay natin silang kuyugin dahil pinaasa nila tayo. Joke lang. Pero abangan natin yan," Vice Ganda added. There is no confirmation yet if Vice Ganda will join “The Buzz,” but the stand-up comedian and “Showtime” judge already won the hearts of Aquino and Abunda.
Aquino said: "I-join na natin ito, sige na. Boy, let's share na lang for the TF (talent fee) of Vice Ganda. Kunin konti sa iyo, kunin konti from me para masali na siya dito."
Kris is not leaving The Buzz after realizing her real standing in her brother Noynoy's campaign which proves her critics to be wrong:
MANILA, Philippines - Kris Aquino on Thursday she would not leave "The Buzz," which came after her tearful statements Sunday.
However, she said she would be seen less frequently on the show, as she would be on the campaign trail more often. (Watch: Kris Aquino answers ‘Buzz’-ing question in Ilocos sortie)
Kris made the statement during a campaign sortie for her brother, Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, who is running for president, in the Ilocos Region. Regarding her presence in the daily showbiz talk show Showbiz News Ngayon, she praised her temporary replacements Mariel Rodriguez, Bianca Gonzales, and Toni Gonzaga.
"Si Toni, Bianca and Mariel, kina-career talaga nila yung pagdadamit, talagang super bonggacious ang mga outfit nila, [and] the rapport, most especially halatang-halata kasi si Boy dahil si Mariel alaga niya so favorite niya talaga," she told ABS-CBN News's Mario Dumaual.
"They're doing such a great job, Mario... it's really excellent na nabigyan sila ng chance na ito, and by all means, ako, happy ako to share it with them," she said when asked if she would be willing to return to SNN.
"Nasa sa inyo po iyan. They're doing OK right now, it's something we have to discuss also. Kasi Mario, nami-miss ko na rin, I've been remiss as a parent... so I think pagkatapos [ng kampanya] kailangan bumawi sa mga anak," she said.
'Overwhelmed' by Ilocanos' reception
Meanwhile, said she was overwhelmed by the reception the campaign of her brother received in their visit to the Ilocos region.
"History has really moved on," the TV host said during their historic first visit to the region where their family's traditional rival, the Marcoses, hail from. (Read: Aquino campaigns in Marcos country)
Kris said that while on the plane to Laoag City, she had been praying for fear that no one would be greeting them on their arrival at the airport.
She said she remembered that back in the 1980s, visits by her late mother, former president Corazon Aquino, was met by residents closing their doors and windows.
"Our politics has really matured through time," she said.
She was also accompanied by her husband, basketball player James Yap. With reports from Mario Dumaual, ABS-CBN News
MANILA, Philippines - International singer Charice has been dubbed a "newly crowned pop princess" by the New York Post.
Charice's song "Pyramid" was cited in New York Post's PopWrap's fave five article for March 17. (http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/popwrap/popwrap_fave_five_dHI00FY5PWSGTY83...) It identified Charice as a "new little chick...who's mountain-and-valley vocals (that means range, kids) are the only reason you will need to fall in love with her sound."
The article also featured four other songs including Psapp's "Mister Ant," Lady GaGa's "Telephone: an Electrolightz remix," Gin Wigmore's "Don't Stop" and Matisse's "Better Than Her." It added that this week's fave five "will have your bottom uncontrollably shimmying out of your kilt."
In an e-mail sent to abs-cbnNEWS.com, Charice said that she's happy that her talent is being recognized not only by her fellow Filipinos but by a lot of Americans as well.
"I really can't believe po na kasama ko sa iisang topic si Lady Gaga. Super Fan po niya ako. To be crowned as the New Pop Princess it's really a honor for me. Nanginig ako nung nabasa ko. Feeling ko, ang laking responsibilidad kasi po dating Pop Princess si Britney Spears po. Nagpapasalamat po ako hindi lang po sa mga Pinoy na sumusuporta sa akin kundi lahat po ng supporters sa iba't ibang bansa. Mapa-Amerikano man po o kahit ano po, salamat po sa lahat," Charice said. Charice said she is happy that her single "Pyramid" has been downloaded over a million times despite tough competition from other pop artists.
"Super happy po ako. New York Post is really BIG. And really happy na ako yung napili nila na i-crown as New Pop Princess, although there's a lot of teen artists po talaga dito sa Amerika na magaling po talagang pop singers. I wanna thank them po sa pagpili nila sa akin. And thanks po sa lahat ng nagview ng Pyramid ko, it's finally over 1M views! I can't wait po na makita nila yung official music video. Though wala pa pong exact date. But I'm sure ilalabas na po ito soon. Nakita ko na po kanina and it's really inspirational. I hope magustuhan po nila."
Currently, Charice is in the United States to work on her first international album "Charice: A Star Is Born." The album will be launched on May 11, or a day after her 18th birthday.
Reports said she might launch her album on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” [Via: ABS-CBN News]
MANILA, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) - Young Superstar Judy Ann Santos and her husband, host-actor Ryan Agoncillo, on Friday confirmed that she is two months pregnant with their first child.
Agoncillo held up an ultrasound image of their baby during Friday's episode of "Eat Bulaga," where Agoncillo is a co-host.
In an interview on TV Patrol World, Judy Ann said she had an ultrasound done early Friday to confirm that she was indeed pregnant.
"My pregnancy test was already positive but we didn't want to announce it because the obstetrician said we should hold off until there was a heartbeat," she said.
"We waited until we were really sure since we didn't want to give false hope to people." She said she and her husband had been praying for a baby after getting married last April 28, 2009 in San Juan, Batangas. "We've been waiting for this for so long after the wedding. It was really good timing," she said.
Santos said that she had no preference on the baby's gender as long as the baby is healthy.
She added that because of the pregnancy, she would have to take it slow when it comes to work.
Aside from tapings for her hit Kapamilya teleserye "Habang May Buhay," Santos is also starring in 2 movies, one under Viva Films with Sarah Geronimo and another under Unitel, with Marilou Diaz-Abaya at the helm.
"Extra careful lang sa work, medyo magbabawas lang ng konti sa trabaho, pero tatapusin ko lahat ng nasimulan bago mag-bakasyon ng dire-diretso para maging safe ang baby at maging safe din ako," Santos said in a separate interview.
Asked what her message was to her husband, Santos joked: "Basta pondohan niya lang yong mga bata."
The TV Patrol World report said Santos has started developing a craving for "white food" including panna cotta, macaroni soup and turnips.
Gladys Reyes, Santos' co-star in the long running series "Mara Clara", also congratulated the couple upon learning the news.
"I'm very, very happy for both of them. It's a big blessing. Ano pa ba ang mahihiling natin sa kanila? Kumpleto na!" she said.
Agoncillo and Santos were first paired in the teleserye "Krystala" where their romance blossomed. They have starred in two movies together, "Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo" and "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo" -- both of which have been box office hits.
Agoncillo proposed marriage to Santos on her 30th birthday in May 2008.
For their reactions, Annabelle Rama and Raymond Gutierrez have said hurtful words to Kris Aquino as well, and Annabelle was totally out of line for involving Noynoy Aquino on the issue. Now that Kris Aquino has humbled down and apologized to both Ruffa and Annabelle Rama, only an apology coming from the Gutierrez family to Noynoy Aquino especially, will close this issue.
Here is what I think of this: Kris Aquino is tactless and that’s a given. She’s born with the gift of gab and is perfect to host any talk show. She is fearless, bold, articulate, and intelligent. But she is also sensitive and quick to ask for forgiveness once she realizes that she has crossed the line and has hurt someone. Kris tells us as it is – because she’s honest and straight forward. Hence, the title Queen of All Media. On the other hand, Ruffa, who is gentle, sensitive, and emotional, is also as smart and makes a lot of sense in her comments but a no match to gabbers like Kris and Boy. What she needs is not a talk show like The Buzz but a beauty show where she can show her own expertise. But then when is Ruffa going to be independent? When can she learn to fly on her own? Has she ever tried thinking on her own without Annabelle dictating everything to her? But then I also understand that it must be hard to have a mother like Annabelle who wouldn’t let her children go and grow up.
I’ve seen so many talk shows and some of them are really brutal. In case you have not seen one, a talk show in the US called “The View” is a very good example. The four women hosting the show chats, discuss, and argue with each other and sometimes I wonder if this or that host will still show up the next day. But off air, they all claim that they have camaraderie and hangs out together as friends. To them, the talk show is just a job that they have to do well.
All is well that ends well. Kris apologized, Ruffa accepted. Erwin Santiago/PEP reports:
Matatandaang pagkatapos ng napaulat na pagwu-walkout ni Ruffa sa The Buzz noong Linggo, March 7, ay agad na humingi ng paumanhin si Kris sa kanya at sa pamilya nito. Ito ay kaugnay ng pagpaparinig diumano ni Kris sa kanya sa "P.O.V." segment ng The Buzz noong araw na yun. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)
Unang humingi ng paumanhin si Kris kay Ruffa through online, sa pamamagitan ng text message na ipinadala niya sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na nailathala ng madaling-araw ng March 8. (CLICK HERE to read related story.) Pangalawa, sa pamamagitan ng pagpapa-interview sa TV kahapon. At pangatlo, sa pamamagitan ng print na lumabas ngayong araw, March 9.
Sa panayam ng GMA News kay Kris kahapon, March 8, sinabi niyang pinanood niyang muli ang video ng episode ng The Buzz noong Linggo kung saan nagsimula ang isyu sa kanila ni Ruffa.
"I wanted to make sure na nung pinanood ko sarili ko, ako mismo, as a viewer, mapi-feel ko na affectionate naman yung teasing. Nung sinabi ko na, 'Aminin mo, iba talaga ang level ng saya dito,' parang ang ibig kong sabihin do'n is mami-miss mo rin kami talaga,'" paglilinaw niya.
Ayon kay Kris, pinanood din daw ng mga kapatid niya ang tape ng naturang episode The Buzz at isang importanteng bagay raw ang ipinunto ng mga ito sa kanya.
"Ang sinabi ni Ate [Ballsy], 'Siguro Krissy dapat i-consider mo rin what it's like to be saying goodbye. And siguro on our family's end, kung tayo naka-cause ng pain para sa kanila, or nabigyan sila ng stress dahil sa hindi mo naman sinasadyang nagawa, take it upon yourself and do this for Mom,' sabi ng ate pa," kuwento ng bunsong anak nina former President Cory Aquino at former Senator Ninoy Aquino.
Ipinarating din ni Kris ang kanyang kagustuhan na magkaayos na sila ni Ruffa at ng pamilya nito.
"Kung ako po, bilang miyembro ng pamilya Aquino, nakasakit sa damdamin nila, ng mga Gutierrez, pinapaabot ko po, on behalf of my family, wala po talaga kaming masamang intensiyon and bukas na bukas po sa kalooban ko na sana maging magkaibigan pa kami ni Ruffa, most especially," pahayag niya.
Naiintindihan din daw ni Kris kung bakit nakapagbitiw ng masasakit na salita ang ina ni Ruffa na si Annabelle Rama laban sa kanya at maging sa kapatid niyang si Noynoy Aquino. Sa panayam kasi ni Annabelle sa Showbiz Central noong Linggo rin ay nanawagan ito na huwag iboto si Noynoy bilang presidente dahil hindi pa man daw ito nananalo ay "mayabang" na si Kris.
Pero ayon kay Kris, "Kung anuman po ang nasabi ni Tita Annabelle laban kay Noy, that's why we live in a democracy." Sa text message na ipinadala niya sa PEP ay sinabi rin niyang hindi siya mayabang kaya nagpapakumbaba siya.
Sa huli ay nagbigay ng mensahe si Kris para kay Ruffa.
Aniya, "Ruffa, sasabihin ko lang sa 'yo, gusto kong humingi ng pasensiya sa 'yo kung sa panahon na kailangan mo sanang mas maging maunawain ako at maging mas tahimik, hindi ko nagawa 'yon para sa 'yo. Pero buong-buo, galing sa puso ko, na hinahangad ko all your success in this world."
RUFFA SPEAKS UP. Kaninang hapon, March 9, ay nagpaunlak naman na ng interview si Ruffa sa TV crew ng ABS-CBN at GMA-7. Dito ay malugod na tinanggap ni Ruffa ang apology ni Kris.
"I do appreciate and accept Kris's apology," nakangiting sabi ni Ruffa sa panayam sa kanya ng TV Patrol World.
Aniya pa, "Ako naman, you know, I'm a very fun-loving individual at kaibigan ko rin naman si Kris, and I have the highest respect for her. I know that we love each other, and I know that we've been friends for a long, long time."
Nakausap ng media si Ruffa kaninang hapon, March 9, sa first taping day niya bilang judge ng Talentadong Pinoy sa Skydome sa SM North Edsa. Ang Talentadong Pinoy ay isa sa mga programang gagawin ni Ruffa sa exclusive contract na pinirmahan niya sa TV5.
Inamin din ni Ruffa na nasaktan siya sa mga "parinig" sa kanya ni Kris sa "P.O.V." segment ng The Buzz noong Linggo na naging dahilan ng kanyang pag-iyak.
"Medyo nasaktan lang ako no'n kasi dun sa mga parinig niya na, 'O, you know, mahal na mahal ako ng mga taga-Laoag, 70 percent ng mga tao nakikita ako dito...' Parang pinapalabas niya na walang manonood sa akin sa TV5," saad ni Ruffa, na nakatakdang lumipat sa TV5 bago matapos ang buwang ito.
Pero nilinaw ng TV-host actress na hindi siya nag-walkout gaya ng mga lumabas na report.
Rumor or not, Vice Ganda might just surprise us because Kris would like to have him join her and Boy Abunda sa The Buzz. Abangan next week sa pag-reveal ng kapalit ni Ruffa Gutierrez and if this is going to be Vice, expect the show to be a riot.
