Mike Defensor shares the vision of German Moreno.
A big fan of the late Fernando Poe Jr., nais ni Mike na magkaroon ng wax figure ito at a museum exclusively built for the stars. Ito’y bilang pagpapalawig ng sinimulang Walk of Fame ni Kuya Germs sa Eastwood in recognition of the outstanding contributions ng ating mga artista.
But Mike is eyeing an even bigger shrine, preferably nestled on the sprawling 26-hectare Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife. At kung hindi pa raw sapat ang loteng ‘yon, target din niya ang La Mesa Dam Eco Park.
At bakit si FPJ ang unang imahe na nais niyang maging dambana ng itatayong museo? Simple lang ang sagot ng binansagan “Papa Mike” ni Lolit Solis: “Simply because FPJ connects to both old and new stars.”
BLIND ITEM: BINANSAGANG mukhang pera ng kanang-kamay ng isang sikat na TV personality ang isang personalidad (gender withheld) na kamakaila’y lumipat sa ibang network.
As the entire TV industry knows, this network is luring in not necessarily new faces in showbiz in its reinvigorated thrust na pabonggahin nang bonggang-bongga ang kanilang istasyon. And one of those who bit the bait ay ‘yun ngang bida sa kuwentong ito.
Dismayado tuloy ang mga katrabaho niya, pera lang daw kasi – and lots of it, of course! – ang katapat ng kanyang serbisyo. Sige, naroon na tayo, it’s the law of economics that dictates any talent to seek greener pastures.
Pero huwag din nating kalimutan that there’s more to both price and prize on one’s forehead. And what? Nariyan ang career growth na maaaring ipinagkait sa kanila ng dating istasyong pinaglilingkuran, lalo pa’t they are neither kings nor queens there but rather court jesters!
At ano’ng bago ru’n? The Kapamilya-to-Kapuso, Kapuso-to-Kapamilya rigodon (even Kapuso-to-Kapamilya-to-Kapuso in the case of Bayani Agbayani and Arnel Ignacio) is just like the El Niño phenomenon.
NOVASHAPE ANG TAWAG sa non-invasive contouring procedure chorva ng Belo Medical Group via its “celebrity specimen” na si Jennylyn Mercado, one of the today’s hot mommas. Nagsilang na’t lahat kasi si Jen to her child Alex Jazz by Patrick Garcia yet her slim figure hardly suggests she already gave birth.
Kung tutuusin, noon pa sanang later part ng January ipakikilala ang Belo’s hot mommas, the other one being Valerie Concepcion na may apat na taong gulang nang daughter named Fiona. But then lagare noon si Jen, nagkataong US-bound naman si Dra. Vicki Belo who wouldn’t be home until mid-February.
Like Jen, Vicki is a hot momma herself. Kung hindi ba naman, dalawang anak na ang meron siya (Quark and Cristalle) yet at fifty something, ang tinaguriang doctor to the stars ay nakatisod ng fountain of youth from nowhere, also having found a young dyowa in Hayden Kho out of the blue.
