Christina Aguilera’s about to put out her first greatest-hits album, Keeps Gettin’ Better—A Decade of Hits, which goes on presale at Target.com tomorrow. (It doesn’t hit stores till Sept. 30.)

That’s great and all, but the only thing we can think of when we stare at this album cover is: Ten years in the Biz and the best she could do is Tammy Faye Bakker’s lashes and some frosted lipstick?!

Should Christina go back to the drawing board, or do you like her campy face full of makeup?

“Hindi ko pa alam, hindi ko pa talaga alam. Hindi pa naman natatapos ang kontrata ko [sa ABS-CBN]. At the same time, I’ve talked to them din naman na. I’m keeping my doors open. Kung ano’t anuman, trabaho na lang ako ngayon,” says Judy Ann Santos about the possibility of switching channels.”

The above are the statements of Judy Ann Santos clearly stating that she is still very open in channel transfer from ABS-CBN to GMA-7. Well, as I also noticed,  Judy Ann Santos appearance on Kapamilya network is undeniably very limited. You will just see her once in a while. I most often see her in TV through her endorsements which has nothing to do with the network. Anyway, whether she’ll transfer to GMA-7, for sure her talent fee is still astonishingly high. It could also be the reason why it isn’t that easy to deal a project with her because she’s darn too expensive. What do you think?

The reigning hottest ‘girl on earth‘ is once again featured on the cover of Maxim magazine for their October 2008 issue. Posted on the international men’s magazine are never before seen photos of Megan Fox wearing sexy lingerie outfits and bare it all photos from her previous photo shoot with the UK-based magazine.

More of Megan Fox after the jump.

John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo team up is back. I’ve heard from a television news of the upcoming movie of John Lloyd and Sarah for the sequel of A Very Special Love.

This must have been brought back by Viva or Star Cinema (I forgot which movie producer) because of the box office hit of A Very Special Love. The A Very Special Love sequel  will be aired next year  2009 as a pre-Valentine offering. John Lloyd and Sarah must really be overwhelmed with such a warm welcome to their love team.

Anyway, I hope  the A Very Special Love sequel will have a far better storyline because just not so long ago, I was able to watch this movie, courtesy of a friend, but I find it a “so-so” normal boss and secretary story. I just hope the sequel of A Very Special Love will bring out more the best on Sarah Geronimo’s acting. Good luck for them, though!

Surfing the net will just land you to pages you don’t even think you will. Well, thanks tonight because I landed at Yoshke.Com and got some juicy entertainment news. I found his Primetime Remake post about popular Asian or Mexican telenovelas that either ABS-CBN or GMA-7 will grab for a remake. What rangs the bell is the remake of the Mexican Telenovela, Rubi which will hopefully be given to Kristine Hermosa.

If you could remember, I posted about Bea Alonzo as Betty La Fea a few months ago and still wondering who will be Armando in the series. Now, it’s final that John Lloyd and Bea love team is in the air again. Glad to share to you that Betty La Fea Primetime Showing is on Monday, September 8, 2008. Below are the complete details of the news released by ABS- CBN.

If you appreciate beauty, then ABS-CBN’s upcoming television series “I Love Betty La Fea,” which will air on Monday, September 8 is definitely the show you have been waiting for.

The series will be led by one of the most beautiful faces in local showbiz — Bea Alonzo. The actress agreed to transform into ‘ugly’ Betty Pengson to give justice to the original character of Betty in the Columbian hit series “Yo Soy Betty.”

Alonzo will once again charm the viewers with her long-time leading man John Lloyd Cruz. He will play the role of Armando, the playboy president of advertising firm Ecomoda and the boss of Betty.

August 30, 2008 in PDA Concert Hall marked  very significant events of the Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 Scholars.  What are these events? Well, it is the night where the Top 6 Scholars will be determined. It is also the launching of the first album of the Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 scholars.  Lastly, it is  the night that will mark an end to either to our two probationary scholars, Van Pojas or Hansen Nicholas.

As you remember, I posted a few days  ago about who will be the next PDA Expelled Scholar: Hansen Nicholas or Van Pojas? Well guys, as I mentioned they both have the looks and so we must objectively judge them according to their musicality.

But oh, I think mass appeal drown my objective intention for judgment of the two good friends  who are also probationary scholars for last week. Why? It is because Van Pojas made it to the Top 6 Scholars of this season of Pinoy Dream Academy. It was a close fight where their votes are quite near to each other. Van Pojas got 54.48% of votes while Hansen got 45.42%. Quite near isn’t it? I’m happy for Van and congratulations for him but I’m sad for Hansen because I honestly see him to be more musically skilled person than Van, IMO. Well, I just wanted them both to be part of the Top 6 Scholars.

Anyway our Top 6 Scholars of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 are: Liezel, Laarni, Bugoy, Van, Cris and Miguel.

Wheew! Two more weeks to go before the Grand Dream Night. Who will be our Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 Grand Star Dreamer? Who’s your bet? Well, whoever he/she is, I just wish the Grand Star Dreamer will be justifiable enough for the title.

PS: Did you like the way I paired the pictures of the Top 6 Scholars?  IMO, I equally paired them of what they got. Who will be the Grand Star Dreamer? Will it be:

a. The unique voice of Liezel?
b. The powerful and flexible voice of Laarni?
c. The very good singer but oh, oh looks of Bugoy?
d. The very good looking but oh,oh in talent- Van?
e. The sensual, Cris?
f. The balladeer, Miguel?

Well, you are very welcome to share your opinions in the comments section. Thanks in advance!

Anyway, let’s get to the point. The stage mothers: Sharon Cuneta and Annabelle Rama were very vocal of their disappointment toward GMA-7 Network for setting the same date and schedule of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera’s free birthday concert to KC Concepcion and Richard Guttierez Premiere Night for their movie, For The First Time-which is last night - August 26, 2008.

In fairness to these two stage mothers, I believe they are disappointed because why in heaven GMA decided to share on Richard and KC’s movie viewers with a free concert ticket given for Marian and Dingdong’s post birthday concert, considering the fact that Richard Guttierez is one of GMA’s  hottest talents.  So, what’s GMA-7’s motive of doing this? I think you can even figure it out on your seats why.

On the other hand, do you think these  two stage mothers: Sharon Cuneta and Annabelle Rama are just over reacting on the whole story? Given they are disappointed. Fine! But have they ever thought that why should in heaven that show business will halt just to pave their way for KC and Richard’s movie- For The First Time when the fact is - they are not the only “STARS” who’ve got the looks and talents to show off.

What do you think guys? You are very welcome to share it in the comments section. Thanks!

Before the showing of A Very Special Love, John Lloyd said his new leading lady Sarah Geronimo is very lovable. Now, John Lloyd will surely love Sarah more because of the success of their team up on this love story. A Very Special Love hits box office for its few weeks aired in theaters.

Because of this success, hitting the box office again with his team up to Sarah proves John Lloyd versatility in acting-that he could succeed without the long term love team with Bea Alonzo.  John Lloyd even stressed out before that there was indeed a big pressure for him taking in this movie because of a new team up and not to mention the typical filipino love story of A Very Special Love.

When I surf around the Internet these days, I read a lot of good comments about the movie. I wasn’t able to watch it myself so I could not rate and comment on the movie itself. I believe, box office hits of A Very Special Love is brought by the original fans of Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz.  Sarah is a recognized pop diva and John Lloyd as a young actor and even the best of his generation today. So no wonder, their movie would really drive viewers to spend a couple of bucks to watch it in theaters.
