cd — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:54:17 +0000

Vic Sotto delivered “safe answers” when the entertainment press asked him questions about his rumored relationship with Eat Bulaga‘s youngest female co-host, Pauleen Luna.

The rumor about Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna being an item has errupted via the column of entertainment writer Ricky Lo last Wednesday.

Lo said in his column that a “reliable source” has witnessed a “very subtle sweetness” between the veteran host/comedian and his Eat Bulaga! co-host.

During the press conference for the Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Enteng ng Ina Mo” by MZet, Octoarts, APT Entertainment and Star Cinema last December 8 at the Dolphy Theater, Vic Sotto, 57, was asked the inevitable question about his rumored relationship with Pauleen Luna, 23.

Here’s a transcript of the interview by the entertainment press to Vic Sotto:

Q: Ano ang plano mo ngayong pasko?

Vic: “Ganoon pa rin. Kung ano ang plano ko last year, hindi naman nagbabago yun, e.”

Q: May nagpapainit ba ng Pasko mo ngayon?

Vic: “Palaging mainit din ang Pasko ko. Tuwing Pasko, natatanong din ako niyan!”

Q: Mas masaya ba ang Pasko mo ngayon?

Vic: “Palaging masaya ang Pasko.”

Q: May inspirasyon ka ba ngayon?

Vic: “Palagi akong may inspirasyon. Marami akong inspirasyon.”

Q: May lovelife ka ba ngayon?

Vic: “Palagi akong may lovelife.”

Q: Totoo bang nag-de-date raw kayo ng co-host mo sa Eat Bulaga! na si Pauleen Luna?

Vic: “Si Pauleen Luna has a very important cameo role in this movie [Enteng Ng Ina Mo]. That’s it. That’s all there is to it. In other words, sa Tagalog, hanggang doon na lang ang masasabi ko dahil mas marami kayong nasasabi kesa sa akin.”

Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna, an Item?

cd — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 10:47:42 +0000

Is Vic Sotto really dating Pauleen Luna?

Veteran comedian Vic Sotto is reportedly dating another Eat Bulaga! co-host. I’m not talking about Ruby Rodriguez or Julia Clarete. She’s none other than the youngest female co-host of the show, Pauleen Luna!

This is according to the column of entertainment writer Ricky Lo who said that Vic, 57, and Pauleen, 23, are now officially an item.

“Yes, they are ‘officially’ an item as confirmed to Funfare by somebody close to them, that’s why you must have noticed some very subtle sweetness in the way they treat each other on Eat Bulaga!,” Lo said in his column.

If the rumor is true, Pauleen will join the “elite” group of Eat Bulaga’s “first ladies” which include Connie Reyes, Christine Jacob and Pia Guanio for having the distinction of becoming Vic Sotto‘s girlfriend at one point of their career as co-hosts of the longest-running noontime show.

‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’ Returns on TV5

TV5 — Sat, 14 May 2011 04:18:44 +0000

Get ready to answer the 2 million-peso question in the new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” on TV5!

The millionaire fever is back. Beginning on May 15, Sunday, the world’s most popular game show is taking the Philippines by storm once more. Hosted by Bossing of Game Shows, Mr. Vic Sotto, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” kicks off its sixth season loaded with exciting additional lifelines, updated set technology and the chance for a lucky player to become 2 million pesos richer.

“As we enter our new season, we promise the viewers that we double the fun, excitement and tension in the sixth season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” That’s our final answer,” said Vic Sotto. To date, the game show has already given away more than P13 million in total prizes in its five-season run.

For the initial episodes of the all-new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” smart kids could be a few questions away to become young millionaires as the tension-filled game show features honor students recommended by their schools to get this once-in-a-lifetime chance to win P2 million. On top of the jackpot that will be split to the kid player and his/her respective school, win or lose, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” will award all the kid players college scholarships.
The overnight-millionaire dream is alive once again as Filipinos take their chance to defy the pressure from the hot seat for P2 million jackpot. To help the player along the way, the hot seat contestant can use lifelines available. Aside from pre-existing 50-50 and Phone-A-Friend lifelines, the new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” introduces added lifelines that will make the game even more exciting: People Speak and Switch. Through People Speak, the studio audience who answers correctly will have the chance to win up to P20,000. The Switch lifeline, meanwhile, entitles the contestant to switch out the original question for another question of the same value.

The game show that pioneered the craze over game shows on Philippine TV returned in May 2009 via its new home TV5. For the last decade since its debut in the UK in 1998, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” has dominated the ratings game around the globe with international versions spawning in over a hundred countries, including its top-rating Philippine version.

While the elimination of players in the past was through Fastest Finger First round done in the studio, hot seat hopefuls this time will be selected through mall auditions. To register in the mall editions, text MILLION (space) Name/Age/Gender/Address to 2256 (Example: MILLION Mark Sy/21/M/12 Leo St., Quezon City). Each text costs P2.50 for Smart and Globe subscribers, and P2.00 for Sun Cellular subscribers.

TV5’s version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” has recorded a first in local franchise history after Ms. Sharon Cuneta won the P2 million-peso jackpot for the benefit of the children at Hospicio de San Jose last January 9, 2010. Some celebrities including Ms. Coney Reyes, Arnel Ignacio, Efren Peñaflorida, Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez, Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez have also played and won for their chosen charities.

Don’t miss the new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” starting on May 15, Sunday, 7:30pm after Magic Bagsik on TV5.

42nd Box-Office Entertainment Awards Official Winners: Bong Revilla, Vic Sotto & Ai Ai delas Alas

cd — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 11:15:48 +0000

Last March 16, it was reported here in Starmometer that the new box-office kings are Bong Revilla and Vic Sotto (tie) and the new box office queen is Ai Ai delas Alas. Now it’s official!

John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo were dethroned. Vic Sotto, Bong Revilla and Ai-Ai delas Alas are 2010 Box-Office Kings & Queen of Philippine Movies.

Vic Sotto and Sen. Bong Revilla are tied as 2010 Box-Office Kings according to Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Awards committee. Sotto and Revilla’s MMFF collaboration “Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote” was considered the top-grossing Pinoy movie of 2010 although its screening was extended until January 2011. The fantasy-comedy movie raked in a total of P159 million in its 2-week MMFF duration.

Ai Ai delas Alas, on the other hand, is the new Box-Office Queen because her film “Ang Tanging Ina Mo, Last Na ‘To!”, also an MMFF entry, has grossed P157 million in its 2-week MMFF duration. The said film was the second highest-grossing Pinoy movie of 2010.

Previous Box-Office King John Lloyd Cruz, who reigned for 3 consecutive years, had 2 box-office hits for 2010. His movie “My Amnesia Girl”, opposite Toni Gonzaga, raked in P144.8 million. His movie “Miss You Like Crazy”, opposite Bea Alonzo, had a total gross of P143.25 million. If you are to sum it up, John Lloyd Cruz delivered P288.05 million at the box-office for 2010.

Unfortunately, the titles Box-office King and Queen are being based from the highest-grossing single movie of a male and female lead that’s why John Lloyd Cruz was dethroned. However, John Lloyd is still awarded the Film Actor of the Year title while his “Miss You Like Crazy” leading lady, Bea Alonzo, is the Film Actress of the Year.

Meanwhile, Kapamilya stars Coco Martin and Toni Gonzaga are the Prince and Princess of Philippine Movies for the Star Cinema movies “Sa ‘Yo Lamang” and “My Amnesia Girl”.

Two of the biggest names in the movie industry collaborate in one ambitious movie that could top this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.

The humor of Vic Sotto and the action stunts of Bong Revilla make this film a must-see movie that every Pinoy is anticipating during the MMFF season. This is also the first time that Sotto and Revilla will star in a movie together.

In “Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote”, Vic Sotto will once again play his popular role as Enteng Kabisote while Bong Revilla will play his trademark role as Agimat. Also starring in the film are Gwen Zamora as Faye, Sam Pinto as Samara, Aiza Seguerra as Aiza Kabisote, Oyo Sotto as Benok Kabisote, Mikylla Ramirez as Ada Kabisote, Amy Perez as Ina Magenta and Bing Loyzaga as Satana.

The Premise:

There is trouble brewing in the world of Agimat and monsters are scaring and kidnapping children. The monsters seem capable of travelling in other worlds and Agimat is able to crossover with them to Encantasia, the world of Faye, Ina Magenta and our hero, Enteng Kabisote. The fairies wonder why monsters are able to cross worlds.

Agimat is amazed of the other world and hopes that things in his world would turn out better. His dream one day is to have a happy family like Enteng’s.

The story unfolds. Satana is the one ordering the monsters to snatch children so that she can use their blood to revive Ragat, the powerful lord of darkness. Satana will also need a blood of a fairy, and Faye is the perfect choice.

Enteng now has to rescue his wife. And he will get Agimat to help him battle the monsters and the dark lord.

Directed by Mac Alejandre and Tony Reyes, “Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote” hits theaters nationwide on December 25, 2010.
