Robin Padilla wants to be Vhong Navarro’s sidekick in a movie

Noong November 6, Martes, ay nagkaroon ng isang press conference para sa first anniversary ng Toda Max na pinagbibidahan nina Robin Padilla, Angel Locsin, Pokwang at Vhong Navarro. Season four na ng nasabing sitcom na mapapanood tuwing Sabado sa ABS-CBN.

Sa nasabing press conference, naitanong kay Binoe kung ano ang pwedeng gawin ni BB Gandanghari (formerly known as Rustom Padilla) para buong-buo niyang matanggap ang kanyang kapatid. Although nabalita na wala nang tampuhan ang magkapatid ay common knowledge ang pagkakaroon nila ng magkasalungat na paniniwala pagdating sa sekswalidad ni BB.

“Ako naman eh si utol (BB) naman eh masaya naman siya, masaya na rin kami. Marami ring masaya para sa kanya pero siguro kung ige-guest namin siya [sa Toda Max], siya si Rustom (siya) hindi siya si BB,” makahulugang sagot ni Robin. “Meron nang Vice Ganda ang ABS-CBN, huwag na natin pang dagdagan ng isa pa. Okay na siya don sa Channel 5. Pag andito siya, siya si Rustom para wala rin kaming problema…”

Nang isagot kay Robin ang statement ni BB na patay na si Rustom, mabilis na sagot ng action star, “He’s alive in my heart.”

Ibinahagi rin ni Robin na sinabi niya sa kanyang co-star na si Vhong na gumawa sila ng pelikula at si Robin ang magiging sidekick at si Vhong ang pangunahing bida. “Ang sinabi ko kay Vhong, ‘Pare ko, alam mo ba si Johnny Depp, gagawa ng [movie], sidekick lang siya. Pare gusto ko magside-kick sa ‘yo.’ ‘Yun ang sabi ko sa kanya.

“Siguro akala niya binobola ko lang siya. Siguro nung mga last taping lang sabi ko, ‘Pare, ito na ang konsepto. Gawin natin, gawa tayong pelikula. Ako na ‘yung sidekick mo.”

Ipinaliwanag ni Robin na willing siyang gawin ito dahil naniniwala siya sa kakayahan ni Vhong bilang aktor at komedyante. Papuri ni Robin kay Vhong, “Napakagaling ho ng taong ito eh. Hindi ko naman gagawin ‘yon kung sino lang na… baka batukan ko pa. Pero dahil siya si Vhong Navarro at nakikita ko na napakagaling niya ho, talaga eh ibababa ko ang sarili ko.” Pagkatapos nito ay muling hinarap ni Robin si Vhong at sinabing handa siyang mag-sidekick sa kanya.

“Para sa ‘yo tol gagawin ko. Dahil naniniwala ako sa ‘yo na isang magandang proyekto ang gagamitin,” aniya pa.

Megan Young on sister Lauren’s career move: ‘I want her to learn on her own.’

Megan Young said that she feels privileged to be part of the teleserye A Beautiful Affair and work with a love team that she admires, the John Lloyd Cruz-Bea Alonzo team up. The actress-host revealed that she fell in love with the tandem in their 2007 movie One More Chance.

Megan added that she admires the team-up because they remain successful after many years even if they are not a real-life couple. “I appreciate that hindi sila, parang they pretend to be together when in real life they’re not. I appreciate that and I appreciate what their fans say that they respect that.” She continued that theirs is a love team that does not commonly exist.

Meanwhile Megan was also asked about her younger sister Lauren Young, who is no longer with ABS-CBN. “Sa pagkakaaalam ko,” confirmed Megan of her sister’s career move. She revealed that her younger sister’s camp is negotiating with another network, however, she refused to spill other details. “Aware ako [sa mga nangyayari] kasi kapatid ko siya. Alam ko ang nangyayari, but I don’t want to [say] any final words habang wala pang final words talaga na nanggagaling sa [kampo nila]. Ayokong mag-assume baka mamaya magsalita ako tapos hindi naman pala tama ‘yung nasabi ko, so ayokong pangunahan ang ibang tao,” she explained.

She said that she does not want to meddle with her younger sister’s career decisions, not because she does not care about her, but because she wants her to be independent. “Independent na kaming dalawa ni Lauren, I want her to learn on her own as an adult. She’s a young adult.”

She added that the two of them had to grow up faster because they had to be on their own at an early age and she said that letting Lauren decide on her own will do her good. “Ngayon pa lang I want her to make her own decisions I want her to learn kung ano ba talaga ang mga dapat at di dapat gawon. Ako bilang ate I can only do so much. I can only tell her, ‘O, ito [ang] dapat.’ Pero kung desisyon niya hindi niya gagawin ‘yon, it’s up to her. It’s up to her to become the adult she will be when she becomes older with the decisions to make, so I want her to learn that. I want her to make mistakes also not to say na puro mga pagkakamali ka, I want her to make mistakes so that she’ll learn from there.”

Melissa Ricks feels at home with Paul Jake Castillo’s family

Melissa Ricks and Paul Jake Castillo obviously enjoy each other’s company as seen from their regular exchange of tweets and photos of their out of town trips. As Melissa would say, it’s the first time that she really felt so loved by her special someone. “Ngayon ko lang naramdaman yung pagmamahal kuno. Wow, cheesy! Yung pagaalaga niya sa akin, anong gusto kong gawin, anong gusto kong puntahan at kainin [yun ang iniisip niya]. I am spoiled a little bit. Baby na baby,” Melissa said.

The 22-year-old actress also enjoyed getting to know Paul Jake’s family especially when she attended his sister’s wedding in Cebu a few weeks ago. If things push through, she’ll be able to introduce Paul Jake and his mom to her family in the US this November. Asked if it’s going to be a “pamanhikan” of sorts, Melissa was quick to say that getting married is still far from their minds at the moment. “Ay grabe, advance naman! Hindi naman. Visit lang. Hi-hello. Kung hindi mauudlot yung bakasyon ha. Magkasama kami ni Paul Jake at ng mom niya na pupunta ng States. My mom is there so we’re going to visit her.”

Melissa further shared that what’s important is that she and Paul Jake are happy in their relationship. “[Kung sakaling magpropose siya?] Hindi ko alam. Ayoko naman mag-anticipate kung anong mangyayari. Basta one day at a time. Hindi nagmamadali. We’re just enjoying the moment, doing fun things together. I am happy lang.”

Daniel Padilla says he understands why Kathryn Bernardo’s mom can be overprotective

After doing the Kapamilya Royals Teleserye Tour 2012 in California, Daniel Padilla returned to the country this week to resume taping for the top-rated Primetime Bida series Princess and I along with Kathryn Bernardo.

The 17-year-old rising star admitted that he has gotten even closer to Kathryn after traveling with her to different countries like Bhutan and the United States. Daniel said he has also spent enough time with his pretty co-star that he notices even the minor things that she usually worries about. “Actually parang nalaman ko na lahat tungkol sa kanya pero teka, siguro yung lagi siyang na-pa-praning sa mukha niya. Sinasabi niya sa akin, ‘Malaki na ba mukha ko?’ Tapos sasabihin ko lagi, ‘Hindi nga ang kulit mo!’ (laughs) Mga ganun lang,” he shared with Push.com.ph.

Although Kathryn’s Mommy Min is always on the set with them, Daniel said he understands why her parents can become overprotective of her. “Ganun talaga. Ang pangit naman kung hindi binabantayan yung nanay yung anak niyang babae. Ano kalalabasan nung anak niya? Kaya mabuti na lang din ganun sila,” he said.

Daniel said he always makes an effort to show Kathryn and her parents that he is sincere in his intentions for her. The actor-singer admitted it is not hard for him to find new ideas on how he can court her. “Wala, sa akin lang. Hindi ko naman kailangan makuha sa iba yung mga ganun eh. At saka nasa common sense na natin yung mga ganun. Ang importante gumagawa ka ng effort talaga,” he said.

When it comes to his own family, Daniel said they are all happy and supportive of his career. “Mabuti naman kaming lahat. Masaya kami. Oo na-mi-miss ko rin naman mga kapatid ko kaya minsan pag nasa bahay, mag-pi-PS3 na lang kami, kahit yung mga babae naglalaro na lang din. Bonding na namin yun,” he explained. Daniel revealed his Mommy Karla has allowed him more freedom now that he has more showbiz commitments all over the country. “Hindi na, hindi na siya sumasama. Hindi naman talaga siya sumasama, nang-aasar lang siya minsan, ganun (laughs),” he said.

Another change is that Daniel gained weight during tapings for Princess and I, something that was just temporary though. “Pumayat nga ulit ako eh. Pero nung una talagang ramdam na ramdam ko na yung pagka-taba ko (laughs),” he said.

This coming December, Daniel looks forward to working on his first movie with Kathryn in Star Cinema’s Metro Manila Film Festival entry Sisteraka. “Wala pa akong shooting para dun eh. Hindi ako sure sa roles pero ang alam ko si Kathryn daw ang anak ni Vice Ganda na ampon lamang. Ako naman anak ni Kris Aquino. Yun lang ang alam ko ngayon,” he said.

After starring in the suspense-horror film Amorosa: The Revenge earlier this year, Empress is again busy on new movie projects like the upcoming Metro Manila Film Fest entry Shake, Rattle, and Roll 14 and another Star Magic film with the working title Tuhog which is set for release early next year. The new project also stars Eugene Domingo and Enchong Dee.

“Sobrang iba ito. Ngayon ko lang ito gagawin sa buong buhay ko so excited ako at siyempre yun din yung dapat niyong abangan. Nakasama ko na si Ate Uge sa Shake, Rattle, and Roll dati. Siguro mga halos yung ibang cast nakasama ko na pero yung si Enchong ngayon ko lang ulit siya makakasama after ng mahabang panahon nagkasama ulit kami. Dati madami sa About Ur Luv, Lastikman, at BFF, madami so medyo naghiwalay kami ng konti tapos ngayon magkasama ulit kami,” she told Push.com.ph.

On the personal front, Empress said she did not make plans to go out-of-town for the just-concluded long weekend. “Walang mga planong lalabas o ganun kasi si Mama hindi niya ako pinapayagan lumabas pag ganun so siguro kasama ko lang yung pamilya ko, relatives, sa bahay,” she said.

When it comes to her personal life, the 19-year-old actress said she is happy to be single for now. “Wala, wala eh. Walang matino, chos (laughs). Hindi wala pa lang talagang makita. Siyempre gusto ko naman yung serious, ayoko namang mag-ri-risk ako na ma-try for the first time pero ano naman pala, ako lang yung seryoso, parang ganun. Walang nagpaparamdam pero siyempre merong nanligaw naman sa akin (laughs). Pero wala, hindi tumatagal eh,” she admitted.

Empress said that her relationship with perennial love team partner Ejay Falcon has always been nothing more but a close friendship and he has never courted her. She also revealed that they are going to start doing separate projects by next year. “Ayun, hindi na kami magkasama. Pero hindi, friends lang talaga kami,” she said.

The pretty actress said she has specific qualities she looks for in her first boyfriend. “Siyempre ang hinahanap ng lahat ng babae yung mabait, gentleman, caring, lahat eh, loving, mabait sa pamilya, mahal ang pamilya, may respeto, understanding, yung mga ganun, the usual. Ngayon naman mas okay naman ako na wala namang love life kasi okay naman yung trabaho ko, sunod-sunod naman yung takbo ng career ko so sa ngayon masasabi ko na eto muna, pero kung may dumating, tingan din natin,” she shared.
