Us Girls' August Awards 2011 nominees bared

Studio 23's "Us Girls" has revealed the nominees for its 3rd August Awards (2011) and among the nominees are controversial stars like Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, Heart Evangelista and more.

You've heard the news about Heart Evangelista vs Marian Rivera over Dingdong Dantes, but for Us Girls' August Awards 2011 to be presented next month, they're not competing against each other, as all three of them are nominated in different categories.

Dingdong Dantes is nominated as Most Fashionable Male alongside John Lloyd Cruz, Gerald Anderson, Sam Milby, Jericho Rosales, Jake Cuenca and some other, while girlfriend Marian Rivera is nominated again as Face of the Year along with Bea Alonzo, Angelica Panganiban, Maja Salvador, Jennylyn Mercado and more.

It's already Marian's 2nd consecutive year to get nominated in the said category. During the 2010 August Awards, she got nominated as Face of the Year but lost to Kim Chiu and Kristine Hermosa who tied for the award.

Heart Evangelista meanwhile gets a nod as Most Fashionable Female. Also nominated are Kim Chiu, Rhian Ramos, Georgina Wilson, Isabelle Daza, etc.

Even Heart's boyfriend Daniel Matsunaga is also nominated, but in another category (Bodies of the Year).

'In The Name Of Love' box-office gross: P15 million on its opening day

"In The Name of Love", which stars Aga Muhlach and Angel Locsin, has earned a high P15-million during its opening day last Wednesday, May 11, 2011, according to SNN's news report last night.

That definitely calls for an early victory party for the whole cast, staff and crew of "In The Name of Love", which is directed by Olivia Lamasan.

The P15 million opening gross of "In The Name of Love" is the same as the opening gross of "Catch Me, I'm In Love" and "Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak" which were shown early this year.

Aga's previous movie "A Love Story" shown in 2007 and Direk Olive's 2009 film "In My Life" also both earned P15 million during their 1st day in the Philippine box-office.

Congrats Star Cinema for another box-office hit!

'In The Name of Love' movie trailer released! Love it!

Before everyone takes a Holy Week holiday leave, Star Cinema released the official trailer of 'In The Name of Love' which stars Aga Muhlach, Angel Locsin and Jake Cuenca.

The trailer was first released via its official website (inthenameoflove.starcinema.com.ph or simply inthenameoflove.ph) and was later uploaded on Youtube (StarCinemaABSCBN).

The movie, which is directed by Olivia Lamasan, definitely has many amazing scenes squeezed in the 4-minute trailer. And I super love these ones:

Excited much to see it?

Here's the trailer of "In The Name of Love":

Gary V. is singing the theme song of this new movie of Aga Muhlach. In the past, he already sang the theme song of 4 Aga Muhlach movies: "Kailangan Kita", "Dubai", "All My Life" and "When Love Begins", 2 of which gave Aga the Box Office King title.

And for "In the Name of Love", Gary V. sings his own version of Matt Monro hit "Portrait of My Love".

"In The Name of Love" is showing on May 11, 2011.

'In The Name of Love' official movie poster

Star Cinema has released the official poster of the highly-anticipated movie "In The Name Of My Love" which pairs up King of Romantic-Drama Movies Aga Muhlach and the Philippines' Sexiest Angel Locsin for the first time.

I love the poster. My reaction when I first saw it was "Wow! So hot!" It's one eye-catching poster, and I think it's one of Star Cinema's best-looking posters.

"In The Name Of Love" will hit theaters this May 11, 2011, as Star Cinema's 18th Anniversary Offering, and whenever it's their anniversary offering or a Star Cinema movie is shown in May, it's always a hit. Speaking about "Here Comes The Bride", "BFF: Best Friend's Forever", "Caregiver", "All My Life" and "Ang Tanging Ina" which were all shown in May and were Star Cinema's anniversary offerings.

Joining Aga Muhlach and Angel Locsin in "In The Name of Love" is hunkified actor Jake Cuenca.

Directed by Olivia Lamasan, the movie also stars Dante Rivero, Carmi Martin, Leo Rialp, Smokey Manaloto, Ryan Eigenmann, Emilio Garcia, Kat Alano, Dimples Romana, Bobby Andrews, Michael Flores, Joshua Zamora, Nanding Josef, Maliksi Morales and Paul Salas.

Don't forget - May 11 - Mark your calendars now!!!

Jake Cuenca and Dennis Trillo reunited in 'My Neighbor's Wife'

Jake Cuenca and Dennis Trillo are the male leads in a new Regal-produced movie entitled 'My Neighbor's Wife'.

At the story conference for the movie held last Tuesday at the Imperial Palace Suites, Jake and Dennis said that they were so thrilled to be working together again.

The two starred together in GMA 7's 2006 telefantasya "Majika", which was Jake's last soap in GMA 7 before he moved to the Kapamilya Network.

Joining the two in the film are two of the hottest Kapuso leading ladies, Carla Abellana and Lovi Poe.

It's also nice to see Lovi and Jake in one movie. I super loved their Bench Summer 2011 photos, where the two really had great chemistry.

Maybe that's what inspired Regal to cast them in "My Neighbor's Wife".
