Shalani Soledad thankful for Yahoo! OMG! award

Shalani Soledad emerged as the top winner in the Yahoo! OMG! Philippines Awards 2011 which was held Tuesday night at the Republiq.

The beautiful Shalani Soledad won the award Yahoo! OMG! Celebrity of the Year for 2011 and according to the award description, it's given to most-searched celebrity on Yahoo! Philippines from January to May 2011.

Shalani, who's currently Willie Revillame's co-host on "Wil Time Bigtime", deserves the award as I've seen her many times as one of the Top Celebrity Searches on Yahoo! Philippines (ph.yahoo.com) this year.

On Twitter, Shalani is so much thankful for the award she received from Yahoo! Philippines.

You can check her Twitter profile now and you can see there that Shalani is flooding it with tweets of thanks to everyone who congratulated her for the award.

She was inactive on Twitter for 2 weeks, and it's only yesterday that she logged in there again just to say thanks for the award.

Shalani was also nominated in Yahoo! OMG! Awards 2011 Favorite Female TV Host alongside Toni Gonzaga, Alodia Gosiengfiao and Pia Guanio. Winner in the said category was selected based on popular votes and unfortunately, Shalani got the least number of votes. Toni won the award.

Favorite Female TV Host Poll Results:
1. Toni Gonzaga (21,528) 56%
2. Alodia Gosiengfiao (12,398) 32%
3. Pia Guanio (3,298) 9%
4. Shalani Soledad (1,152) 3%

Even Willie Revillame also lost in the Favorite Male TV Host category and also got the lowest votes:
1. Luis Manzano (35,074) 47%
2. Mo Twister (33,930) 45%
3. Vice Ganda (2,631) 4%
4. Vic Sotto (2,150) 3%
5. Willie Revillame (382) 1%

Just last March 2011, Shalani was also recognized by another search engine, Google Philippines, when she ranked #1 on its list of 20 Most Influential Women of 2010 (also based on search queries) placing higher than Kris Aquino who ranked 2nd.

Andrew Wolff is Showtime's new "hurado"

Andrew Wolff is one of the two new judges or "hurado" on ABS-CBN's Showtime this week, starting today, Monday, May 23.

Last Saturday, two judges were eliminated or were made "burado" and they were Green Rose actor Janus del Prado and Mara Clara star Kiray Celis, after getting more than 25% EVICT votes.

The two judges left were Ryan Bang, who's now on his 30th week as Showtime judge, and Regine Angeles on her 3rd week.

It was Andrew Wolff himself who made the spoiler on Twitter when he posted yesterday:

@iamandrewwolff: "Guys, confirm na po. Hurado po ako bukas sa #Showtime First time po akong kakanta sa harap ng mga tao! Pasensya na kung hindi maganda! :p"

Andrew, who's considered among the "yummiest models" in the country, also shared on Twitter how excited he is to sing live and dance like Justin Timberlake for the Madlang Pipol, which he will be doing for the very first time.

But Andrew immediately deleted that post last night. (Probably he was told to delete it so as not to spoil the show's episode today.)

Unfortunately, I was able to read it last night haha.

Andrew Wolff as Showtime judge could be an early promotion for the movie "Private Benjamin" topbilled by Showtime resident judge Vice Ganda and also stars Andrew Wolff.

LATEST UPDATE
The other new "hurado" is the newly-crowned Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2011 Shamcey Supsup.

Vica Ganda and Andrew Wolff, Supsupan na!!! Bang Bang Regine!!! That's the set of judges on Showtime for this week.

Cristine Reyes' "TUMBOK" movie

The title of Cristine Reyes' new movie is really funny. We at home would laugh whenever we hear Cristine's movie title.

Entitled "Tumbok", it sounds like a title of a "titillating" film. My cousin also joked that the title should have been "Tambok" and not "Tumbok".

But seriously, it's good thing that the director of "Tumbok" is Topel Lee, and definitely that stops us from thinking it's a sexy film.

Topel Lee, who usually directs horror films, was the director of the 2007 box-office hit "Ouija" which starred Judy Ann Santos. He also directed "White House", "Sundo" and four "Shake, Rattle & Roll" episodes.

Joining Cristine in "Tumbok" are Carlo Aquino, Ryan Eigenmann, Jao Mapa, DJ Durano, LJ Moreno, Anna Capri, Wendy Valdez, Malou de Guzman, Dino Imperial, Abby Bautista, Cheska Salcedo and with the special participation of Ara Mina.

Viva Entertainment, who produced "Tumbok", uploaded on Youtube behind-the-scene videos of the movie:
