Marian Rivera shares how being a first-time mom is via Ai-Ai delas Alas

M

arian Rivera gave birth to baby girl Maria Letizia last November 23 and only on November 29 has she allowed to be interviewed through a phone patch.

After well wishing, Rivera was asked by co-Sunday Pinasaya members Ai-ai delas Alas and Barbie Forteza.

As posted on PEP.ph, Rivera was quoted saying,"Ay, naku, alam mo yung pakiramdam na hindi mo maipaliwanag!

Kapag tinititigan ko yung anak ko na, ‘Wow, thank you, Lord, Binigyan Niyo ako ng napakasayang biyaya na walang kapantay talaga.”

According to Ai-ai delas Alas, “Grabe, nang makita ko siya sa picture, ang cutecute niya!"

“Grabe kambal [Marian], ha, parang nananalamin lang ako, ha!”

Everyone laughed with what the Kapuso Comedy Queen said but she added that Maria Letizia's features were both of Dingdong and Marian.

Marian said, "Okay lang kahit si Dong, cute rin naman ang asawa ko kaya okay lang yun.”

Marian also thanked those who has prayed for her healhy and safe delievery,

www.filipinostarmagazine.com

saying, "Gusto ko rin kunin ang pagkakataon na magpasalamat sa lahat ng nagdasal para sa aming dalawa ng anak ko na maging safe kaming dalawa.

“Thank you kasi naging malaking tulong talaga na nakaya ko ang pagli-labor, dyusko Lord!”

According to the Primetime Queen, she had an 18-hour labor before delivery.

As of writing time, Marian is not yet sure when she will go back and join Sunday Pinasaya but said, “Pero oo naman, babalik din si Judge MD, abangan nila ‘yan… hindi ko nga lang alam kung kailan, ha.”

philippine showbiz news Maine Mendoza apologizes to Julie Anne San Jose for Twitter misunderstanding A P PEP. s osted on

ph

Isang Twitter follower ng direktor ng Sunday Pinasaya na si Rich Ilustre ang nagtanong kung ang girlfriend ba ni Alden sa tunay na buhay ay si Julie Anne.

management and operations Kaplaza Cooperative

Zeala Cortes 778.996.1119 zcortes@cnmcommunications.com Tony Tampus 604-356-8714 tony.fsm@kaplaza.org

Sinagot ito ng direktor ng "yup."

Ito ay dahil sa paghaharap nina Julie Anne San Jose at Maine Mendoza sa dressing room.

Si Julie Anne ay mainstay sa naturang comedy-musical program ng GMA Network, habang si Maine naman ay special guest ngayong araw.

Kabilang din sa Sunday Pinasaya ang kaloveteam ni Maine at kalahati ng AlDub na si Alden Richards.

Ayon sa tweet ng isa pa sa mga mainstay ng programa na si Gladys Guevarra, nilapitan at niyakap daw ni Maine si Julie Anne.

Humingi rin daw ng paumanhin si Maine sa singer-actress.

Nakita rin diumano ni Gladys na umiyak si Julie Anne.

Pero "clueless" daw si Gladys kung ano dahilan ng nasaksihan niyang eksena.

Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam, hindi sinasadyang nagkaroon ng isyu sa pagitan ni Julie Anne at nina Maine at Alden dahil sa hindi pagkakaunawaan na nagsimula sa Twitter noong December 7.

Ang basa raw kasi niya noong una ay "friend" sa halip na "girlfriend" kaya sumagot siya ng "yup."

Nang ma-realize niyang mali ang kanyang pagkakabasa at ang naging sagot ay agad daw niya itong binura.

Pero kumalat na raw ito agad sa social media at umusok na ang galit ng AlDub Nation.

Alden Richards

Dahil sa gulong naidulot ng kanyang pagkakamli ay humingi ng paumanhin si Direk Rich kina Maine, Alden, at pati na sa AlDub Nation.

Nadawit din sa galit ng AlDub fans si Julie Anne, na inulan ng batikos sa social media kahit wala naman siyang direktang kinalaman sa isyu.

Kaya sa pagkikita nina Maine at Julie Anne kanina sa studio ng Sunday Pinasaya, si Maine na mismo ang lumapit kay Julie Anne upang humingi ng dispensa kung anuman ang mga masasakit na salitang nakarating sa kanya.

Hindi naman nabanggit ni Gladys sa kanyang tweet kung naroon din si Alden nang magyakapan sina Maine at Julie Anne.

Wala rin daw kumuha ng litrato ng naganap na eksena bilang respeto na rin sa dalawa. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

N

atawa si Coco Martin nang pabirong tanungin ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kung ang next target niya ba ay tanghaling Box-Office King.

Sigurado na kasing magiging blockbuster hit ang pelikulang Beauty And The Bestie na pinagbibidahan nila ni Vice Ganda kasama sina James Reid at Nadine Lustre.

Coco Martin shy about possibility of being hailed Box-Office King As Posted on PEP.ph

Maganda ang track record sa takilya ng mga pelikula ni Vice at lagi nitong nalalampasan ang record ng kanyang past movies.

At dahil never pang naagaw ang parangal na Phenomenal Box-Office Star kay Vice, posibleng Box-Office King naman ang mapunta kay Coco next year.

Reaksiyon ni Coco, “Hindi naman po. Ako naman po basta masaya ako kahit anong pelikula ko na ginagawa.

“Mapa-comedy man iyan, action, drama, minsan hindi ko tinitignan kung gaano kalaki ang kinita.

"Basta ako, every time na may ginagawa akong proyekto, proud ako dahil magandang proyekto po yung ginawa ko.

“Yung pagiging blockbuster ng pelikula, ayokong isipin.

"Baka ma-pressure lang ako, at maging iba yung istilo ng pagtatrabaho ko.”

Nakausap si Coco ng PEP sa presscon ng Beauty And The Bestie noong Disyembre 10, sa 9501 restaurant sa loob ng ABSCBN compound.

Sa ilalim ng produksyon ng Star Cinema at Viva Films, ang pelikula sa direksyon ni Wenn Deramas ay isa sa official entries sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2015 at ipalalabas sa mga sinehan sa Pasko, Disyembre 25.

Kung sakali man, makakalaban ni Coco para sa Box-Office King award si John Lloyd Cruz dahil patuloy na humahataw sa takilya ang A Second Chance nila ni Bea Alonzo.

FULL COMEDY. Masaya lang si Coco na ngayon lang siya nakagawa ng full comedy na pelikula.

Ang pelikula raw kasi nila ni Toni Gonzaga na You’re My Boss ay romantic-comedy.

Aniya, “Actually, ibang experience, first time

kong makatrabaho si Direk Wenn, sobrang saya.

“Ganun pala magtrabaho sa comedy, para lang kaming…

"Hindi naman naglaro, hindi dahil sa hindi ko sineseryoso, pero walang pressure.

“Iba rin pala 'pag comedy, iyong pagkatapos ng shooting umuuwi kang masaya.”

DEDICATION. Malaking factor nga na kasama ni Coco sa Beauty And The Bestie si Vice na best friend niya sa totoong buhay.

Bumilib nga raw siya sa kaibigan sa ginawa nilang action scenes sa pelikula.

Kuwento ni Coco, “Honestly, napabilib ako kay Vice kasi may mga stunt kaming www.filipinostarmagazine.com

ginawa dito.

“Yung after ko siyang gawin naisip ko na bakit ko siya ginawa, na kahit ako nagdalawang-isip.

“Kapag sinu-shoot yung mga ganyang bagay, sumasabit kami sa helicopter... sa cable lines, kadalasan may double iyan o dinadaya.

“Pero sa sobrang excitement namin, hindi namin naisip na, ‘Hoy, baka mahirap iyan…

Baka delikado iyan, mamatay kami diyan.’

“Nung pagkauwi ko sa bahay, ‘Bakit namin ginawa iyon?’

“Sa totoo lang, pwede naman kaming magdouble, pwede namang dayain; siguro yun yung dedication.”

A

lden Richards is the other "half" of the social media craze "AlDub".

Who wouldn't bat their lashes when they see Alden Richards? He's the absolute definition of "Prince Charming". Tall, handsome, respectful and a gentleman --- which of course, continues to sweep his "other half's "feet, Maine "Yaya Dub" Mendoza.

It's not rocket science how Maine and Alden's tandem works out. This is basically what every Filipina dreams of when they were younger (Titas and Lolas and even Mothers there, don't deny)-- it is to fall in love with a hunk and matinee idol from the idiot box.

Rough start before it went smooth But things did not actually work out easily for Alden Richards.

Born Richard Faulkerson Jr. on January 3, 1993. Alden previously joined ABSCBN's Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash and GMA's Starstruck but failed to make the cut.

When he was just 16 years old, Alden started joining and taking part on numerous male pageants in Laguna where he was born.

quoted from an advertising expert, Vincent Pozon.

As per Alden Richards in an interview posted online, it was actually his mom's dream for him to be an actor.

Adding, "born and staged in the street, with two live audiences, street and studio, it's very loose and the storyline is led by unscripted events and no bad values."

As quoted saying, "When she was still alive, she loves to watch teleseryes and she's tell me, 'I'd love to see you on TV someday."

Another, Jubert Alberto was quoted saying, "It's like a re-telling of a classic fairy tale in a modern Filipino concept."

And that's when it all started for Alden. He continued and pursued his mom's wish and said, "I hope she's seeing all of this and I hope I am making her proud."

"But what made them go viral is the use of new media and people can't stop talking about them on social media networks."

Career [plot twist] The limelight shown brighter on Alden's side when he was nominated and won 2011 Golden Screen Award's Best New Actor when he played a role in the thrilling movie "The Road".

Alden has also starred in several movies that of: Tween Academy Class of 2012, Ang Panday 2, Shake, Rattle and Roll 13 and this year's Metro Manile Film Festival entry "My Bebe Love".

He's also appeared in several TV shows like: Tween Hearts Presents, Party Pilipinas, Alakdana and My Beloved. #AlDubNation and why is it phenomenal In BBC News' Rico Hizon's article posted online and as based on his interviewees, Aldub nation is a hit "because it has revolutionized TV programming," as www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Jim Paredes hits back at Mocha Uson for her “twisted” allegations: “I did no harm to you.”

As Posted on PEP.ph

J

im Paredes slammed singer-dancer Mocha Uson for calling him a hypocrite, “plastic,” and an “Anti-Duterte na akala mo inosente.”

Mocha added that she felt the unnamed OPM artist’s questions were not related at all to her group and career.

But he volunteered to show the unpublished article he wrote based on the interview in his blog.

“Literally, this very respected OPM artist was hitting on Mae [dela Cerna, a member of the group] and me.

Jim, referring to Mocha’s claim about his “shocking” questions to her, remarked, “Did I ask those things you said I did?

“The questions continued but it was all about SEX.

“I honestly can’t remember. I can look for the audio.

On December 4, Jim wrote in his blog, jimparedes.com: “I think it’s pretty darn cheap of you to twist things just because you hate my politics.

“I was really shocked because this OPM Artist has an image of being a PATRIOTIC FAMILY MAN. I was disappointed and left in disbelief.

“You were very candid, almost bragging pa nga which from an interviewers point of view is great.

“Labo nun.

“I never told anyone about this.

“From what you told me I don’t think anything can shock you.

“I treated [you] with great respect. I did no harm to you.

“I just kept it to myself thinking maybe he was just carried away by his own lust.”

“I think you are exaggerating your reaction.

“You are certainly not a blushing flower.”

“I will post the article if you wish. Let me find it.”

JIM ON MOCHA’S “TWISTED COMMENTS.” Although Mocha didn’t name names, Jim said he was the unidentified OPM artist the singer-dancer was referring to in her Facebook post.

STAND ON MAYOR DUTERTE. Jim added that it’s unfair of Mocha to make “twisted comments” about his interview with her four years ago, just because he’s not a fan of the presidential candidate she is supporting in the 2016 elections.

The 64-year-old musician/journalist, best remembered as one of the members of the APO Hiking Society, also called out the Mocha Girls leader/frontliner for accusing him of hitting on her back in 2012.

Jim was reacting to Mocha’s blind item where she expressed outrage over an unnamed “well-known OPM artist” who’s “bashing” presidential aspirant and Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

Mocha, a self-confessed Duterte supporter, said in her Facebook post on December 4: “But when I saw his tweet/post on his verified social media account that he was bashing Duterte’s character, I was enraged.

“This really bothered me.

“SIR BOSS HONORABLE, napaka-plastic mo po. Mahiya ka naman po sa sinasabi mo.

“Ako kinikilabutan sa mga sinasabi mo po.

“Before you start pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean.

But contrary to her claims, Jim stressed that Mocha knew that part of his 2012 interview with her was to flesh out her “sexual persona,” among others.

He recounts in his blog, “I interviewed you extensively sometime ago to write an article for my column but editor said it was not for Sunday reading.

“Yes, my interview with you was largely about your sexual persona and you knew it was about that prior to the interview.

“You volunteered a lot of lurid info even without my asking.

“Duterte is not a good role model to the youth but HE is a GOOD LEADER.

“You like sex and you are proud to be an advocate of free sex.

“Hindi puro salita na tulad mo.”

“Nothing wrong with that.”

Mocha further revealed an incident where Jim supposedly conducted a lurid interview with her at the time she got caught in a controversy about her sexuality.

Jim maintained that he couldn’t recall his exact questions to Mocha in the said interview.

10

www.filipinostarmagazine.com

“Lo and behold! From out of the blue, she recently lambasted me on her site because I am not for Duterte.

“She made twisted comments about me which I suppose is for the purpose of discrediting me.”

Jim also pointed out, “Mocha naman. We are all entitled to our own opinion. My beef with Duterte is human rights.”

In his previous Twitter posts, Jim didn’t exactly say that he’s “anti-Duterte.”

But he was among the netizens who called out Duterte for cursing Pope Francis in his speech at a PDP-Laban gathering last November 30.

Jim is one of the staunch supporters of presidential candidate Mar Roxas and his vice presidential bet, Leni Robredo in the 2016 elections.

Cristine Reyes and fiancé Ali Khatibi to wed in Balesin in January As Posted on PEP.ph

“At least, gusto naman talaga niya [Ali], beach wedding.”

The 26-year-old Kapamilya actress also said that they were supposed to get married last December 3.

But they had to delay it for several weeks due to conflict of schedule.

Cristine candidly explained, “Na-stress ako sa planning. “[Busy ako sa] work kasabay yung teleserye, kasabay yung construction ng bahay.

C

ristine Reyes revealed that she and her non-showbiz fiancé Ali Khatibi are getting married in Balesin on January 27, 2016.

Apparently, they chose that date because it’s around the same time they first discovered their feelings for each other back in 2013.

Cristine recounted in her guest appearance with Ali on Kris TV’s episode last December 8, “Parang nalaman namin na we like each other nung time na yun.

“Kaya gusto sana namin yung Balesin wedding namin sa January 27.”

WEDDING DETAILS. When asked why they chose Balesin as their wedding venue, Cristine explained that it was actually their second option.

“Kapag nag-wedding plan, ang dami palang kailangan puntahan, ang daming kailangan mag-decide kami together.

“Ako, kasama kapatid ko and si Harvey [a close friend],” she added.

THE PROPOSAL. The couple got officially engaged last September 9.

According to Ali, they were having dinner with friends when he decided to propose marriage to Cristine.

The mixed martial arts enthusiast recalled, “Actually, I wasn’t even prepared.

“It just happened. We were talking.

“I didn’t even have the ring with me at that time.

“Sobrang spur of the moment talaga.

Sobrang intimate lang.

“Then I asked her [if she’ll marry me].”

Ali added that he bought the engagement ring when Cristine was still pregnant.

“Gusto ko kasama ko siya palagi.

Asked why it took him several months before he popped the question, the 31-yearold replied, “Kasi we were taking this counseling.

“E, may times na ang dami niyang ginagawa. Ang dami niyang ka-meeting.

“For me, that was something I wanted to finish for the both of us.

“E, one time, nag-ayos ako ng schedule, fixed na, [pero] may isinisingit siya na kliyente. So, nag-aaway kami.”

“It was more of for her and also for me.

Cristine also revealed that she wants her wedding to be simple and “laidback.”

Cristine also revealed that she and Ali officially became a couple on March 8, 2014.

In fact, very few are invited to their Christian wedding ceremony in Balesin.

“Mommy niya [at] kapatid niya.

“I felt that time I was sure and ready.”

Then she got pregnant and gave birth to their first-born Amarah February 8 of this year.

They originally wanted a “backyard wedding,” but their house in Parañaque is still under construction.

“Kasi dapat dun [Balesin] yung prenup shoot namin.

“E, bayad na yun.

“So, sabi ko, dalhin na lang natin dun sina Pastor, tapos dun na tayo ikasal.’

“Kaysa naman somewhere Parañaque, very normal.

THE BENEFITS FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH COLLAGEN PEPTIDES 100% NATURAL, HYDROLIZED Pure collagen peptides from wild caught red snapper or Alaskan salmon, processed in a facility which complies with the highest standards of quality. Medical grade.

COLLAGEN IN OUR BODIES

What is Functional Food?

A functional food is a food given an addition function, often one that is related to the promotion of health or the prevention of disease, by adding new ingredients or more of existing ingredients. Some examples of functional food includes yogurt with probiotic, and Elan’s Fountain of Youth line of foods containing collagen.

Collagen is one of the most important structural elements of our bodies, accounting for 25%-30% of its total protein. 75% of the skin is collagen.

Proteins are the “building blocks of life”. They bond together molecularly to form your bones, hair, skin, eyes, blood vessel wall and even your digestive enzymes, protective enzymes, neuro-transmitters and your hormones. The most important thing that a protein does, however, is hold information. Proteins can signal or direct certain processes in the human body which give us the ability to regeneration cell to cell, system to system and organ to organ.

Fatloss

WHEN THERE’S NOT ENOUGH COLLAGEN At age 19, the body loses its ability to produce collagen. Depletion of the collagen supply leads to inefcient protein synthesis and cellular regeneration.

The loss of collagen is most evident on the collapse of the dermal layer and contributes to the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. Another effect of insufcient collagen in the body is the loss of cartilage. Such condition leaves the bones exposed and painfully rubbing together. Thus, causing excruciating pain, inammation and stiffness. Hydrolyzed collagen is a bio-active ingredient that promotes cell regeneration in this case in terms of joint health; through the repair of the degenerated joint matrix by stimulating chondrocytes cells for the biosynthesis of collagen peptides.

14

How many grams of pure collagen protein should I eat?

The average man needs to ingest 56 grams of protein daily and the average woman, around 46 grams. The body, however, can only fully absorb about 10 grams of protein per hours. It is recommended that 5g-15g of collagen protein be taken daily.

What are the effects of ingesting collagen?

Hair Regrowth

Our collagen peptides are manufactured following ISO (9001 – 2000) standards.

Collagen is a hypo-allergenic food that is tasteless and odorless. The effects through ingestion include hair regrowth, youthful skin, relief from joint pain, lifting of the breasts and improved eyesight.

Is it safe to take collagen?

Hydrolyzed Collagen and Cellular Regeneration Effects of cellular regeneration can be seen in a variety ways such as muscle building, joint repair, bone mineral restoration, hair growth, youthful skin, breast lift and even clearer eye sight. Food application of collagen can benet individuals who wants to loss fat and shape their bodies. Specially when ample amounts of collagen is ingested/eaten. Collagen being a protein does not spike the blood sugar level, promoting catabolism, by naturally prompting the body to draw the required energy from stored fat.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CLEAR & YOUTHFULL Skin www.filipinostarmagazine.com www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Yes. It is a natural supplement derived from carefully selected natural ingredients.

Collagen has long been used all over the world in food and medicine. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified gelatin, from which collagen peptide is prepared, as a substance that is “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). Furthermore, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) have reported that there is no need to specify a limit for the daily intake of collagen.

KC Concepcion on rumored reconciliation with Paulo Avelino: “There’s no truth to that.”

As Posted on PEP.ph

nandun tayo for each other. Puprotektahan ko siya and I think it's the same for him, that he will always protect me.”

SETTLES RIFT WITH MOM. Pinagusapan naman nang husto sa showbiz ang naging tampuhan din sa pagitan ng mag-inang KC at Sharon Cuneta.

Ngayong naayos na kung anuman ang 'di nila napagkaunawaan, mas bukas na ang komunikasyon sa pagitan nila kung sakaling magkaroon muli ng problema o 'di pagkakaintindihan.

Sabi niya, “Good. My mom and I are really good.

“Our communication lines are open.

N

asa U.S. noon si KC Concepcion nang pumutok ang balita na nagkabalikan na raw sila ng exboyfriend na si Paulo Avelino.

Sa interview kasi sa aktor sa pocket presscon ng On The Wings of Love ay inamin nito na bukas na uli ang komunikasyon nila ni KC. Dahil dito, marami ang may espekulasyon na maaaring nagkabalikan na ang dalawa.

Sa interview ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at Cinema News kay KC sa nakaraang Kapamilya ThankYou for the Love: The 2015 ABS CBN Christmas Special nung December 8, sa SmartAraneta Coliseum, agad namang nilinaw ng aktres na walang balikan na naganap sa kanila ni Paulo, pero aminado siya na may espesyal na kuneksyon sa kanilang dalawa na hindi na mawawala.

“No, there’s no truth to that.

“Paulo and I probably have a special connection that won’t ever disappear.

“Sabi nga namin, parang kahit na ano ang mangyari sa buhay naming dalawa, 16

“Parang after ng lahat, parang sabi ko, 'Mom, we have a time in our lives na 'di na puwede na 'pag may tampuhan, 'di na mag-uusap. Mag-uusap tayo, 'di ba?'

“And I love her so much. She knows that.

We all love her and we want her to be happy.

“We want the best for her and we want to do our best kung ano ang puwede naming gawin para maging mas masaya pa siya at kami bilang pamilya.”

MAKING PEACE WITH PIOLO. Isa rin sa magandang pangyayari na labis na ikinatuwa ng ina niya ay ang pakikipagbati nito sa ex ni KC na si Piolo Pascual sa nakaraang kaarawan ng presidente ng ABS-CBN na si Charo Santos-Concio.

Ayon naman kay KC, isa ito sa mga bagay na ipinagdasal niya.

“I was there, very personal but I’m at peace, I’m very happy that it finally happened.

“Time truly heals wounds. Pinagpe-pray ko rin yun, pinagpi-pray din ni Piolo yun, I’m sure, and there was just some glue that brought us together. I was very happy for that moment,” pagpapasalamat niya. www.filipinostarmagazine.com

Samantala, pinag-usapan din sa nakaraang ABS-CBN Christmas Special ang pagsasama muli nina KC at Piolo sa iisang stage. Naging tampulan pa ng tukso ang paghalik ni Piolo sa pisngi ng ex.

Sinubukan naming kunan ng reaksyon tungkol dito si KC pero umiwas itong sumagot.

CHRISTMAS WITH FAMILY. Dahil nalalapit na ang Kapaskuhan, isang simpleng selebrasyon ang nasa isip ni KC kasama ang pamilya.

Pahayag niya, “I’ll spend it with my family, mayroon kaming farm dito sa may Tagaytay.

“So yung family namin—me, my mom, my stepdad, my sisters, and of course, mga kapamilya ko sa papa’s side. Mayroon din akong time for them na maghahanda lang ako sa bahay.”

GRATEFUL FOR BLESSINGS IN 2015. Nang tanungin kung paano ilalarawan ang itinakbo ng 2015 para sa kanya, sagot ni KC ay taon ito ng maraming pagbabago sa buhay niya.

Ayon pa kay KC, “Ang 2015 sa akin ay parang transitional year.

“Parang dun nangyari lahat ng changes, parang nag-level up ako in different ways, like na-promote ako sa UN World Youth program kaya pabiyahe-biyahe din ako ng New York, L.A. at dito sa Mindanao.

“Medyo naging maganda ang experience ko internationally. Pero I’m always thankful na ABS is here na parang sinasabihan ko kung ano ang nangyayari sa buhay ko.

“Of course, I will always be a Kapamilya. “[The ABS-CBN] Christmas special has been part of our lives for so long at 'di ko ma-imagine yung buhay ko na 'di na makasama sa Christmas special ng ABS kasi dito na ako lumaki.”

LJ Reyes on official status with rumored suitor Paolo Contis: “Happy.”

As Posted on PEP.ph

S

a New York magdiriwang ng Christmas ang Kapuso actress na si LJ Reyes kasama ang anak niyang si Ethan Aoki.

Si Ethan ang unico hijo nila ng aktor na si Paulo Avelino.

Naglambing daw kasi ang ina ni LJ na sa New York naman daw mag-Pasko ang apo nito ngayong taon at pumayag naman ang aktres sa hiling nito.

“Gustuhin ko man na dito kami mag-Christmas, nakapangako na ako kay Mommy na dadalhin ko sa kanya ang apo niya ngayong Pasko.

“Paminsan-minsan lang naman maglambing ang mommy ko kaya pumayag ako na doon kami magPasko.

“Pero uuwi rin kami agad bago magsimula ulit ang classes ni Ethan in January 2016.

“Okey lang naman na magtagal kami, kasi wala pa naman akong masyadong pinagkakaabalahan pa.

“Ang iniisip ko lang ay ang school ni Ethan.

“Kaya siguro less than two weeks lang kami sa New York,” pahayag pa ni LJ nang makapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) noong nakaraang December 1 sa Christmas party ng PPL Entertainment.

Sinundan namin agad ng tanong kung susunod ba sa New York ang nababalitang boyfriend niyang si Paolo Contis para makasama siya?

pagiging magkaibigan namin.

“Kaya walang anything official pa talaga sa amin ni Paolo.”

TV APPEARANCES. Bago nga magbakasyon si LJ, sunud-sunod ang kanyang mga ginawang paglabas sa Magpakailanman at Love Hotline.

Nagbalik na rin ang kanyang character na si Inocencia sa GMA primetime teleserye na Marimar.

“But still, it’s Paolo’s decision kung dito siya or susunod siya,” ngiti pa ni LJ. NOTHING “OFFICIAL” YET WITH PAOLO. Idiniin ni LJ na wala pang official sa kanila ni Paolo kahit na marami ang naniniwala na may “something” na sa kanilang dalawa.

Unang nabalita na mayroong nabubuong magandang pagtitinginan sa dalawa ay noong patapos na ang teleseryeng pinagsamahan nila na Yagit.

Simula noon ay madalas nang nakikitang magkasama ang dalawa.

Pero tulad nga ni Paolo, hindi rin masyadong nagkukuwento si LJ tungkol sa diumano’y relasyon nila.

Caitlyn Jenner Sued for Negligence by GrammyNominated Composer for Fatal Malibu Crash

P

anish Shea & Boyle LLP filed a suit on behalf of the musician and his family for injuries suffered in the fourvehicle collision in February.

Caitlyn Jenner is being sued for negligence by a Malibu family who say they suffered injuries following the fatal February Malibu four-car crash that left 69-year-old Kim Howe dead.

Panish Shea & Boyle LLP, a prominent firm for auto accident and other negligence lawsuits, announced Friday that the firm has filed a civil lawsuit for negligence against the former Olympian on behalf of Peter Wolf-Millesi, a multi-Grammynominated composer, pianist, producer, songwriter and arranger, his wife Lea, the couple’s two minor children, and Lea’s mother Elga Maurer for injuries suffered in the four-vehicle collision on Feb. 7, 2015.

The Wolf-Millesis were hit head-on by a Lexus that was struck by Jenner’s Cadillac Escalade, which forced the vehicle into

their lane of traffic on Pacific Coast Highway, they claim.

also states that Elga suffered a C-spine “hangman’s fracture” in her neck.

The suit states Peter Wolf-Millesi was driving his Hummer H2 southbound on PCH with his wife in the passenger seat, en route to his son’s tennis tournament.

Both his sons and Peter’s mother-in-law were in the backseat. According to the suit, Jenner’s SUV rear-ended Howe’s Lexus LS 430, which launched into soutbound oncoming traffic and collided head-on with Wolf-Millesi’s vehicle.

The couple’s infant son Gaetano, who was four weeks old at the time of the accident, did not respond to stimuli on the scene of the crash and was transported by ambulance to UCLA’s ER for treatment, the suit states.

“All of a sudden a car comes into our lane from oncoming traffic and rushes onto our hood. We were shocked and terrified we were all going to die,” Peter said in a statement on the firm’s website.

In the suit, Peter claims he suffered nerve damage to both hands and wrists and has been unable to work. Lea allegedly suffered orthopedic trauma to her legs, neck, back and knees; she continues to have ongoing pain and physical limitations. The suit

C

alvin Harris wants girlfriend Taylor Swift to know that she’s got to shake it off when it comes to her exes and their lives postrelationship! He’s fed up with her obsessing over other dudes, and needs her to stop ASAP.

Taylor Swift has some beef with exboyfriend Harry Styles, and none of it is amusing to current beau Calvin Harris, according to a source who spoke to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Calvin wants her to move forward and focus on what she’s got: devotion and love from him!

Calvin Harris To Taylor Swift — Stop Obsessing Over Your Ex Boyfriends

“Calvin has separated himself from his playboy ways, and is all in with his relationship with Taylor,” a source toldHollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He doesn’t like when she mentions her exes; he wants her to not talk about them even if it is throwing shade at them. He wants her to be totally devoted to him. He gets jealous thinking that she still may have feelings for people like Harry or others she has dated. It’s upsetting to him.”

The trouble (trouble, trouble) started when Taylor liked a Tumblr post that called Harry “immature,” enraging his fans, and calling major attention to the fact that she’s still upset about their breakup. The outrage was so intense that Calvin had to make his Instagram account private to stop the hate being thrown at him by Harry’s fans. That’s insane!

Calvin just wants Taylor to stop focusing on what’s happened in her past, and the dudes who’ve done her wrong — especially when they have such a good thing going right now!

And yes, he may be a little worried that her lack of attention means she’s daydreaming about other guys. Earth to Taylor!

december HOROSCOPE ASTROTWINS, ASTROLOGY FORECAST Source: pilipino-express.com Puwede ka munang magrelax ngayong Disyembre.

Hindi mo kailangang magpakahirap sa trabaho o negosyo dahil hindi ka naman magigipit. May sapat kang naitabi para magsaya ka ngayong holiday season. Huwag mo lang uubusin ang ipon sa sobrang shopping.

Iwasan mong bumiyahe sa labas ng bansa sa pagitan ng Disyembre 5 at 12. Kung nakahanda na ang lahat, maging maingat ka kung kasama ang pamilya lalo na kung may mga bata. Bantayan mo sila dahil baka mapalapit sila sa panganib. Mabuti na ang nag-iingat.

Kalimutan mo muna ang trabaho o negosyo, mag-focus ka sa pagsagip sa iyong kalusugan.

May babala na manganganib ka dahil sa iyong balakang, kidney o colon. Oras na para magpa-physical check-up. Huwag mong balewalain ang babalang ito.

Kung nagmamaneho ka, mag-ingat ka at huwag kang magmamaneho lalo na kung kulang ka sa tulog.

May babalang malalapit ka sa aksidente. Puwede mong maiwasan ito basta maingat ka. Iwasan mo ang magalit at masangkot sa away ng ibang tao.

Magpapalit na naman ang taon. Alam mo bang hindi mo pa nililinis ang mga agiw at sapot na nakakagulo sa buhay mo? May mga gamit kang hindi mo na kailangan, mag-donate ka o itapon mo na.

Kung may utang ka, pagsikapan mong mabayaran ito.

Pera ang magiging dahilan ng iyong stress sa unang bahagi ng Disyembre – kulang man o sobra ito, may problema pa rin. Huwag kang mag-alala, malalampasan mo naman nang mabuti ang pagsubok na ito. Bago mag-Pasko ay magiging maayos na ang lahat.

Mas mabuting humingi ka ng second opinion para matiyak mong tama ang sinabi ng iyong doctor.

Magpahinga ka at mag-relax dahil masyadong mataas ang iyong stress ngayon.

Huwag mong pabayaan ang kalusugan dahil ikaw din ang mahihirapan.

Buwenas ang pasok ng pera sa buwan ng Disyembre. Magdamit at dalhin mo ang sarili nang maayos dahil may mga nakatingin sa iyo na handang pintasan ka dahil sa panlabas na kaanyuan mo. Kaya mong gawin ito kaya huwag kang magpabaya. Inggit lang sila.

Sa pagdaan ng maraming taon, nakita mo na kung saan at kung ano ang nagpapaligaya sa iyo. Magtiwala ka sa mga kaalaman mo pero makinig ka pa rin sa payo ng iba na naranasan na ang pinagdadaanan mo ngayon.

Mas madali kung matututo ka sa karanasan nila.

Sa buhay na ito, hindi tayo puwedeng pumili kung sino ang magiging magulang natin. Kaya anuman ang hinanakit mo sa magulang ay pilitin mong alisin sa iyong puso. Mahusay na ang katayuan mo ngayon. Mas gagaan ang loob mo kapag pinagbuksan mo sila ng puso mo.

Pulang-pula ang kulay ng iyong pag-ibig sa buwang ito. Matindi ang inyong pagmamahalan at matibay ang inyong relasyon. Kung buwenas ang romansa, may unos naman sa relasyon mo sa isang kaibigan. Wala kang inagaw sa kaniya. Huwag mo siyang patulan.

Huwag kang malungkot kung sa palagay mo’y hindi mo naabot ang lahat ng nais mo sa taon na ito. Tingnan mo na lang ang nakaraan bilang isang balangkas ng mas matibay na kinabukasan. Sa darating na taon, may mga aanihin ka nang bunga ng pinaghirapan.

Vhong Navarro on possibility of forgiving Deniece Cornejo, Cedric Lee, et al: “Kaya ko naman sila patawarin kung hindi nila pinalalabas na ako pa ang masama.’’

As Posted on PEP.ph

Nilinaw ni Vhong Navarro na bilang magkaibigan at magkasama sa It's Showtime, nagsusuportahan silang dalawa ni Vice Ganda sa kani-kanilang pelikula na parehong entry sa darating na Metro Manila Film Festival na magsisimula ngayong Disyembre 25.

Si Vhong ay tampok sa pelikula ng Quantum Films na Buy Now, Die Later, samantalang si Vice Ganda naman ay bida sa Beauty and the Bestie, kunsaan kasama ang kaibigan nitong si Coco Martin.

Pahayag ni Vhong sa PEP. ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at ibang miyembro ng entertainment media sa presscon ng Buy Now, Die Later, "Idolo ko [si Vice], pero hindi ko kaya yung box-office record niya.

"Pero yung achievement ko, achievement na rin niya, kasi magkapatid kami, e.

"So, parang tulungan. Yun nga, sabi niya, 'Sige, suportahan tayo dito.'

"Kung nagpa-plug ako, pinaplug niya rin, ganun din ako sa kanya."

Ginanap ang nasabing presscon sa Max's Restaurant, sa Roces Avenue, Quezon City, noong December 3.

NOT CONCERNED WITH BOX-OFFICE SUCCESS. Ano ang tingin niya sa magiging box-office standing ng kanilang entry considering na malalaking 26

pelikula ang makakalaban nila?

Pabirong itinuro ni Vhong si Alex Gonzaga na kanyang leading lady, at siya ring katabi niya habang nangyayari ang panayam na ito.

Pagbibiro niya, "Ang ano niyan, gusto kong ibigay ang sisi kay Alex, kasi siya ang pinakasuwerte.

"Kasi, yung filmfest last year, kasama mo si Vice, at natatandaan ko, sinabi mong ikaw ang lucky charm ni Vice.

"Kaya, naging box-office hit ang Private Benjamin Part 2.

"Kaya, na kay Alex po ang alas kung ano ang...

"Ang maganda sa movie namin, may comedy siya at suspense.

'Tapos magkakadikit-dikit ang characters. Siguro, yun ang pinaka-edge namin.

"At ayokong sabihin na may laban, pero siguro sa tulong ng mga manonood, at sa tulong niya, sa word-of-mouth, yun na lang ang nilalaban namin na parang may laban."

Dugtong pa ng comedian-TV host, "Hindi na kailangang ano, kung pang-ilan.

"Hindi na namin iniisip yung maging number one o number two. ''Basta ang iniisip namin ay ma-entertain namin yung manonood, yung perang ibinayad nila ay hindi masayang.

Okey na kami dun.

"Malalaki ang mga pelikula, malalaki ang mga artista, kaya di ko na talaga ini-expect na mag-number one.

"Basta ako, gusto ko yung project, at bilang artista, isa ito sa mga gusto kong gawin, kasi ang pagkakaalam ko, nagawa ko na ang lahat, puwera lang ang character ko dito.

"Nung tinanggap ko yung project, wala akong takot, mas na-excite ako, kasi gusto ko ngang gawin ito dahil hindi ko pa nagagawa."

BODYGUARDS. Samantala, napansin ng press na may kasama siyang dalawang bodyguards sa nasabing presscon.

Marami tuloy ang na-curious.

Hindi pa ba siya naka-move on mula sa trauma at takot niya mula noong nangyari ang beating incident noong nakaraang taon?

Aniya, "Meron pa ako ngayon, meron po akong kasama na bodyguards.

"Kasi alam na natin ang panahon ngayon, di na natin alam.

"Ang mga tao ngayon, kapag binabaril, parang ipis na lang.

"Oo, meron pa naman na takot, hindi nawawala yun.

"Basta ang pananampalataya ko ay nasa Kanya.

"Oo, nanggagaling pa rin sa Itaas, kasi kahit ano'ng dami ng bodyguards mo, kung kukunin ka na, wala tayong magagawa."

Kinumusta ng PEP ang tungkol sa kaso niya noon.

Saad ng actor-dancer, "Alam niyo, ang sarap sanang magsalita ng nararamdaman ko, ang hirap nga lang dahil may gag order tayo.

"Kumbaga, yun ang mga hindi ko puwedeng masabi, kasi baka maapektuhan naman kami.

"Tuloy pa naman ang kaso.

"Yung makikipag-ayos, hindi po talaga ako makikipag-ayos.

"May mga nakarating sa amin, pero..."

IS HE READY TO FORGIVE? Kaya pa ba niyang patawarin ang mga nasangkot at mga kinasuhan niya?

Giit ni Vhong,"Sa ngayon kasi, ang hirap magpatawad na ikaw pa ang binabaliktad.

"Paano mo patatawarin ang isang tao kung ikaw pa ang binabaliktad, ikaw pa ang masama?

"Pero ako ngayon, ibinibigay ko na sa Panginoon ang lahat.

"Kaya ko naman sila patawarin kung hindi nila pinalalabas na ako pa ang masama.

"Kung kailangan na ba akong kunin, wala tayong magagawa.

"Humingi nga ng tawad e paano mo naman patatawarin?"

Lutong Nanay: Homemade Pininyahang Ham

N

agiisip na ba kayo ng ihahanda sa Noche Buena at sa Medya Noche? If yes, this could be something you would want to put in your list and prepare for your family.

What you’ll need: All natural Ham (ball type) 2 liters of natural pineapple juice 4 tablespoons coconut palm sugar 6 cloves of garlic (crushed) 6 cloves of star anise

What you need to do: Place all of your ingredients in a pot, cover and simmer for 30 minutes in low heat. After 30 minutes, remove the lid and turn the heat up to medium heat until the sauce reduces half of its original volume and the sauce should be thick. Take out the meat from the sauce and let cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve with the sauce on top. You may serve it with freshly sliced pineapples and cherries to garnish.

Nanay Notes: A lot of this types of hams are heavily induced with preservatives to prolong shelf life. But this Lutong Nanay version uses all natural ingredients. No preservatives, whatsoever which means, it is good for the body.

Preservatives like Nitrates on cured meats cause cancer and cell mutation which is very harmful to the body.

ive the gift of health this Christmas… I think the best display of love is the intention to give the best health to your love ones… I typically don’t give food products loaded with sugar, saturated artery clogging fats and chemical preservatives.

The Kitchen Alchemist designed this convenient mix with wellness in mind.

Only the best ingredients are used, such as a household instant coffee brand, easily soluble collagen, coconut palm sugar (glycemic value of 35, safe for diabetics) and Canadian skim milk (from clean cows and high in protein, perfect for fat loss). This is available at www. elanfood.ca.

• Kitchen Alchemist’s The Rocket, Toraja (Indonesia’s most elegant coffee beans) infused with Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO).

Only $19.95 + taxes and shipping.

Known to be Indonesia’s most elegant coffee, Toraja coffee beans are grown in the highlands of Sulawesi island, one of the pristine isles in the Celebes sea of Indonesia.

These highly coveted Toraja beans are only produced in small quantities using traditional farming and roasting methods. This coffee bean is a medley of subtle hints of herbs, cocoa with distinguished full bodied richness as well as rustic sweetness.

The combination of nutrient rich coffee beans and CVO, a medium chain triglyceride (MCT), is designed to provide the body a blast of energy, sustained vigor and utmost clarity. This coffee is perfect to clear brain fog and increase one’s metabolism! CVO is an immunoregulator and a function regulator. These medium chain fatty acids are processed directly in the liver and easily converted into usable energy. They enhance the body's capacity to work better, metabolize better, defend better and heal better. This is available at www.elanfood.ca and selected Filipino stores

• Pentaxly. Only $130 + taxes and shipping.

Pentaxyl is a highly absorbable peptide cream to repair damaged skin. Experience the effectiveness of Pentaxly in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and furrows, help skin look thicker and firmer, and gives the skin a youthful glow. I love using Pentaxyl on my stretch marks and cracked heels… Pentaxyl has harnessed the age-fighting power of "bio-peptide" technology, with three age-fighting bio-peptides (1) Pamitoyl-Pentapeptide-3 (Matrixyl) (2) Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (3) Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline). Peptides are a low molecular weight amino acid groups that are building blocks of proteins that make up plants and animals. Palmitoyl-Pentapeptide-3 was discovered at the National Institute of Health.

Hold off on Botox and Juvederm injection... Try Pentaxyl first …While nothing can re-wind time, Pentaxyl has been shown to support a beautiful, resilient, flawless look
