Bianca Manalo and John Prats kissing video

John Prats and Bianca Manalo made a "virtual kiss" on "Happy Yipee Yehey's" episode yesterday, July 22, 2011, while the two were doing their hosting chores for the show.

The kiss happened while Bianca Manalo was at Studio 4 of ABS-CBN and John Prats, also known in the show as Pratty, was in Brgy. Salapan, San Juan, Metro Manila for "Ikaw Ang Bida" segment.

Could this be a confirmation of John Prats and Bianca Manalo as boyfriend-girlfriend?

But when John was asked by his Happy Yipee Yehey! co-hosts about the real score between them, here's what he said: "Magkaibigan kami ni Bianca, pero...Crush na Crush ko siya!"

The feeling is mutual as Bianca already admitted long before that Pratty is her crush.

On E-Live's fresh episode this afternoon, July 23, Bianca was asked about John and she said, "Isa siya sa mga nagpapasaya sa 'kin."

Watch a video of how John Prats and Bianca Manalo kissed each other on Happy Yipee Yehey! So sweet!

Just recently, John and Bianca were also spotted going out together many times already. They were spotted having a movie date in Eastwood and were also reportedly seen stepping out together from Crowne Plaza Hotel. Huwaatt???

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband for Century Tuna

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband reveal their sexier and healthier bods on their first TVC together as Century Tuna endorsers.


In her previous ad for Century Tuna, Angel Locsin was with hunk actor Derek Ramsay, and this time, she's with rumored boyfriend Phil Younghusband of the Azkals.

Did Phil replace Derek as Century Tuna endorser? Or Derek also has a new one coming up?

Even before this new ad of Angel and Phil, Derek has already appeared solo in a Century Tuna Paella TVC.

The new Century Tuna TVC featuring Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband has already started airing on TV today and it's really hot.

And I super love this particular scene of Phil and Angel:

Kilig-much!

Watch the said TVC:


Behind-the-scene video:

Other endorsers of Century Tuna are real-life lovers Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion for "Corned Tuna" and Aljur Abrenica for Century Tuna Healthylicious Hotdog.

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Winner is Marcelito Pomoy

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2
Grand Finals (Results Night)
June 26, 2011

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 has concluded Sunday night with the announcement of winner in Araneta Coliseum, the same venue where the 14 grand finalists showcased their talents on Saturday to win the public votes.

The votes have been counted and the Season 2 grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent has been revealed.

Singer Marcelito Pomoy took center stage tonight as he was announced as the finalist with the highest vote percentage (19.56%) becoming Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Winner.

The 25-year-old Male Diva and former construction worker from Cavite took home a cash prize of P2 million.

It wasn't a landslide victory for Marcelito unlike in PGT Season 1 when Jovit Baldivino, also a singer, won bigtime with 48.41% of the votes, over Baguio Metamorphosis with a very far 15.39%.

This season's 2nd placer, the tap dancing duo Happy Feet composed of brothers Ramonito and Lolito Mata, came so close to Marcelito. Happy Feet got 18.32% of the votes and as the runner-up, they received P100,000 cash prize.

But with 19.56% and 18.32% respectively, Marcelito and Happy Feet were the clear top choices by most viewers as the rest of the finalists only got below 10% of the votes.

Dance group Freestylers from Calamba, Laguna was named 3rd Placer with 9.46% and also won P100,000 cash.

The rest of the 14 grand finalists were awarded P50,000 cash prize.

Here's the official results of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 or the ranking of the 14 grand finalists based on the combined SMS and online votes:

1. Marcelito Pomoy, 25, Imus, Cavite (singer with dual voice) 19.56%
2. Happy Feet, Bukidnon (Tap Dancing Brothers/Duo) 18.32%
3. Freestylers, Calamba, Laguna (dance group) 9.46%
4. B4, Baguio City (dance group) 9.12%
5. Buildex Pagales, 15, Digos City, Davao del Sur (singer / musician) 8.25%
6. NielBeth (Leoniel Enopia and Elizabeth Dazo), Bacolod City (ballroom dancing duo) 7.81%
7. Rico The Magician (Romarico Sanorjo) 60, Caloocan City 7.59%
8. John Michael Narag, 16, Mabini,Pangasinan (singer) 5.30%

11. Jose Emmanuel "Jem" Cubil, 17, Talisay City, Cebu (singer / musician) 2.86%
12. DJP Trio, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental (singers) 2.60%
13. Angel Calalas, 22, Cainta, Rizal (Hula Hoop Tricker) 1.99%

PILIPINAS GOT TALENT SEASON 2
Grand Finals - Performance Night
June 25, 2011, Araneta Coliseum

Fourteen (14) grand finalists showcased their talents in Araneta Coliseum last night, June 25, 2011, all hoping to be the grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 and win 2-million pesos.

Despite lacking in variety, the performances of the grand finalists were generally superb and (I think) more entertaining to watch than the last season.

Receiving standing ovation from all 3 judges last night was Marcelito Pomoy, who did an impressive rendition of "The Prayer" using both his male and female voices. Yeah, you've heard it right and he did it with perfection, as what judge Kris Aquino said.
Aside from Marcelito's performance, the following acts were also outstanding and highly-applauded on last night's grand finals of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2:

NielBeth, ballroom dancing duo

Rico, the Magician


Happy Feet, tap dancing brother / duo


Freestylers



Here are the performances from the other grand finalists:

B4, dance group


Madrigal Siblings


Buildex Pagales, Bruno Mars of the Philippines


Angel Calalas, hula hoop tricker


Jem Cubil, singer


Skeights, band

Aira Bermudez and the SexBomb Girls on "Happy Yipee Yehey!"

Aira Bermudez danced with the SexBomb Girls on Happy Yipee Yehey's live episode aired earlier, June 21, 2011.

The SexBomb Girls, who for the long time were seen in regular shows on GMA 7 particularly on "Eat Bulaga", made their first appearance on ABS-CBN when they guested on Happy, Yipee, Yehey! last March 5.

But SexBomb Aira didn't join the girls then because she still has an existing contract with GMA.

And her guesting today on Happy, Yipee, Yehey! could mean the contract has already expired, she's now free and she can already make guestings in other networks.

Prior to Aira's guesting, some of the SexBomb Girls are very much visible already on ABS-CBN. They've seen many times already on Happy, Yipee, Yehey and made guesting during the pilot episode of "Gandang Gabi Vice".

SexBomb Girls member Sunshine Garcia is already a regular on the comedy show "Banana Split" while three of its members (Louise, Sandy and Che-Che) have just started yesterday as Showtime Hurado.

Just two days ago, Aira was seen performing on GMA 7's Party Pilipinas and she also shared on Twitter last Sunday that she was about to tape a production number for an episode of "Eat Bulaga" which is yet to be aired.

Will Aira Bermudez officially transfer to ABS-CBN?

Miley Cyrus' guesting on "Eat Bulaga" (video)

Miley Cyrus guested on GMA 7's noontime show "Eat Bulaga" yesterday, June 16, 2011, to promote her "Live in Manila" concert which is happening tonight, June 17, 8PM at the SM MOA Concert Grounds.

The Philippines is the only Asian stop in Miley Cyrus' world tour and when asked by Eat Bulaga host Pia Guanio why she chose the country, Miley said, "Just because of the fans you know, they've been asking me to come here", which sounded so great to the live studio audience.

Watch video of Miley Cyrus' "Eat Bulaga" guesting:

The Miley Cyrus Live in Manila concert will feature Pinoy performers Sam Concepcion and Elmo Magalona as the Opening Act.

Local celebs who have said on Twitter that they will be watching the concert tonight include Ruffa Gutierrez with daughters Venice and Lorin, brother Raymond and mom Annabelle Rama, the Magalona siblings with mom Pia, the cast of the film "Tween Academy: Class of 2012", Star Magic talent Arie Reyes, "Trip Na Trip" host Catherine 'Kat' De Castro and many more.

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Finals: Who should win? (Poll)

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Finalists are now complete with Rico The Magician and the Skeights being named as the 13th and 14th grand finalists of the season after they won the wildcard round held on Independence Day, June 12 (Sunday), at the AFP Theater.

Meng Qian, a Chinese TV host, molested on live TV (video)

Meng Qian (孟茜), a 26-year-old sexy TV host from Mainland China, was molested by a fan on live TV.

As reported on Yahoo! Malaysia, the harrassment happened while Meng Qian was co-hosting "Lady Guagua" (Lady 呱呱), a talk show being aired on Star TV.

The male fan initially asked for an autograph and a handshake from Meng Qian when he suddenly seized the opportunity to grab Meng Qian's breast.

The fan was immediately stopped, but the report didn't state what happened to him after he did that to the TV host.

Watch a video of how Meng Qian was molested on live TV:

Phil Younghusband only met KC del Rosario once, says Phil's brother James

Phil Younghusband is reportedly dating not only actress Angel Locsin, but also a non-showbiz girl identified as KC del Rosario.

According to an SNN report last Tuesday, June 7, there's a rumor that Phil Younghusband already has a girlfriend (KC) who was once linked to Kapamilya actor Matteo Guidicelli.

It even showed one photo of KC with Matteo which was posted here on Mykiru Isyusero last year. (View: Matteo Guidicelli pictures with rumored girlfriend)

When asked about KC during a media launch for his new endorsement (VitWater Power drink), the SNN report showed Phil making no comment and walked out of the venue which led the viewers to think that there may be some truth to the rumor.

SNN host Boy Abunda reacted on the report and seemed unhappy about Phil making no comment and his "walkout" scene.

However, a report on abs-cbnNEWS.com the next day stated that Phil did make a comment about KC during the presscon. "I don't know. I don't know who KC is," Phil told the press, "I don't know anything. I don't know anything about it."

On Twitter (@PhilYHusband), Phil responded to a question from a fan and said that he's not close to anyone named KC.

He also made it clear that he didn't walk out, "To all those who came in the vitpower launch last tue,tnx for coming.sorry wasn't able to stay longr had to leave for training.tnx so much."

So maybe there was just a misunderstanding. Phil had to leave and maybe some people (mis)interpreted it as a walkout.

KC del Rosario meanwhile also posted on Twitter (@kcskyy) last June 8 possibly a reaction to the SNN report about her:

On tonight's newscast of TV Patrol, Phil's brother James was interviewed about Phil and KC during the Azkals Send-Off party organized by ABS-CBN and there James admitted that he knows KC because she's a schoolmate of his girlfriend (Fiona Faulkner) and Phil already met her once.

But he stressed that Angel Locsin is the only girl in his brother's eyes.

“KC goes to the same school as my girlfriend. Just to clarify, Phil met KC once. Angel is only in Phil's eyes,” James said, as reported on TV Patrol.

It's not the first time that Phil got involved in an issue like this one.

Last March, there was also the same kind of rumor that he already has a girlfriend named Denisse Oca and a month after, Phil was also rumored having a child to a woman from Iloilo.

Can't wait for the next rumor.

Guns and Roses pilot episode beats Amaya in nationwide ratings

"Guns and Roses" starring Robin Padilla and Bea Alonzo had a successful pilot last night, June 6, by posting a rating of 29.9% beating its rival show, the Marian Rivera-epicserye "Amaya", based on the data provided by Kantar Meda / TNS.

It ranked 2nd over-all, placing behind "100 Days To Heaven" with 32.9% rating.

ABS-CBN's rating figures last Monday were so much lower than last week, especially when compared with last Friday's ratings when "Mara Clara" aired its finale and scored its highest rating ever, with 43.4%.

With its new timeslot, there was a big drop on the ratings of "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin".

It usually had a 30%-plus ratings and ranked in the Top 3 when it was airing right after "100 Days To Heaven". Take for example during last week:

May 30 - 33.6% (2nd)
May 31 - 32.7% (3rd)
June 1 - 32.6% (3rd)
June 2 - 33.5% (2nd)
June 3 - 37.1% (3rd)

But last Monday, when it was moved to a later timeslot to accomodate the entry on primetime of "Guns and Roses", it only rated 25.8% (ranked 4th) and TV Patrol even had a higher rating.

June 3, Friday (Daytime)
1. 2011 NBA Finals: Game 2 (ABS-CBN) - 19.4%

"Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin", "100 Days To Heaven", "Mara Clara" consistent ratings winners!

"Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin", "100 Days To Heaven" and "Mara Clara" are still the strongest primetime programs, based on Kantar Media - TNS National Household Ratings Survey for Monday (May 30) and Tuesday (May 31), despite the entry on primetime of GMA 7's new epicserye "Amaya" which is currently on its debut week.

"Amaya" which is topbilled by Marian Rivera posted a pilot rating of 19.1% then a higher 2nd-day rating of 19.7%, but those ratings weren't enough to beat "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" shown on the same timeslot.

"100 Days to Heaven" and "Mara Clara" were also winners in their respective timeslot.

As for the daytime programs, "Eat Bulaga" has maintained its supremacy as the #1 program while ABS-CBN is slowly recovering thru the Koreanovela "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" which is rating higher than another Koreanovela, "Playful Kiss" on GMA 7, which premiered Monday but failed to rate as high as the phenomenal "Temptation of Wife".

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.

Sam Concepcion and Coleen Garcia: Pool Hotties!

Sam Concepcion and Coleen Garcia were caught so sweet together, sharing an intimate moment by the pool.

The two sizzled in the sun as they shot a scene as Marc Pedroza and Monique Castillejo for ABS-CBN's teen-oriented program "Good Vibes".

Sam was shirtless while Coleen was wearing a 2-piece swimwear, and as seen on these pictures, the two apparently enjoyed shooting their moment together.

They're looking so good together, aren't they?

Coleen Garcia is also most familiar to viewers as Matina in the Nestea TVC Series with Neil Coleta as Nicos.
