ABS-CBN's new shows...

ABS-CBN's offerings for the Year of the Ox are far from over.

Deo Endrinal, ABS-CBN's business unit head, formally unveiled its latest entertainment programs and the new timeslot of a Kapamilya morning show beginning February.

"We have a new morning show starting February 16 and it's called ‘Ruffa & Ai’ hosted by [Miss World 1993 Second Princess] Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez and, of course, the Comedy Concert Queen and Box Office Queen Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas,” Endrinal said.

The Kapamilya executive said Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino's morning show, "Boy & Kris," will have a new timeslot and format also beginning February 16.

"The king and queen of talk shows will now be part of primetime bida,” he said.

The morning show “Boy & Kris” will be followed by "SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon," a daily entertainment magazine show, according to Endrinal.

He said the two back-to-back programs will be aired from Mondays to Fridays.

Taking the timeslot of “Boy & Kris,” “Ruffa & Ai” will air before “Pilipinas: Game KNB?”

ABS-CBN is also set to air a new television horror series. Diamond Star Maricel Soriano is making a television comeback in "Florinda," the third installment from the "Susan Roces Cinema Collections."

"Florinda will run daily for three weeks starting February 23 as our very special tribute to Ms. Maricel Soriano for her birthday," Endrinal said.

Soriano will celebrate her 43rd birthday on February 25.

ABS-CBN will also premiere a latest TV drama series, "May Bukas Pa," which aims to give hope and inspiration amid the current crisis.

May Bukas Pa will start airing on February 2 right after “TV Patrol World.” May Bukas Pa is not replacing any of the four existing shows on primetime, Endrinal said.

ARCHIE is GOLD!!! CRUSH to reach 2million?!?



David Archuleta's debut album album is now certified GOLD.. With more than half a million units shipped, RIAA has certified it GOLD on January 29. The album sold 183,000 on its' first week and debuted at #2. Other American Idol Alum albums that debuted at #2 are Kelly Clarkson's My December, Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts, Taylor Hicks, and Katharine McPhee.

I wonder why Crush has not been certified yet... As of now, it has approximately sold 1.4million, and has a big possibility of selling over two million. iCarly appearances in February would definitely help Crush and A Little Too Not Over You.

Kelly's new music video leaked!!!

Taylor Swift Fever!!!




I totally LOOOOOVE her album Fearless, that's why I am not surprised that this is really doing very well in the US. It has been ruling the album charts for five consecutive weeks now, and will become six weeks. Hits Daily Double's figures show 40k units sold at 54.02%. 100% chance of keeping its' position at the top spot.

Fearless International Edition will be available in the Philippines on March 9....



Love Story, the lead single of Fearless has peaked on Billboard Hot 100 at #4. The last country song that reached that far was Dixie Chicks' Not Ready To Make Nice for the issue dated Feb 24, 2007. Carrie Underwood's biggest hit Before He Cheats has sold 2.6mil digital downloads, making it the biggest selling country single... BUT.... Love Story is making its' way to beat that record, currently at 2.3mil. It sure will outdo BHC in terms of sales.

David Archuleta on iCarly on Feb 7



The long wait is over.

February 7. That's the date...


A contestant on "America Sings" named David Archuleta (who plays himself) appears on Carly's show before defeating his rude competitor, Wade King. But Wade then gains sympathy thanks to a sob story, so Carly helps expose Wade's true arrogance.


American Idol's first four audition cities...

AMERICAN IDOL, premiered on January 13 in the US, Jan 14 in the Philippines. Two-hour special premiere featured the auditions in Phoenix, AZ (13), and Kansas City, MO (14). The next audition cities were San Francisco,CA and Louisville, KY. These are the people that I liked.



Adam Lambert sang Bohemian Rhapsody. Audition City is SF.



Arianna Afsar. She is singing I Surrender on this video. I can't find her audition on YT, since Fox took it down due to copyright issues. Rumor has it that she was cut during the Hollywood. We have yet to confirm it.



Felicia Barton sang Put Your Records On on her audition, but this is not her audition video. Sorry. She was given 10 seconds of exposure haha.. But I really like her...

Other contestants that I liked, videos are not avaiable on YT... are

DANNY GOKEY sang I Heard It Thru The Grapevine
BRENT KEITH sang Can't Get Enough..

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE OTHER AUDITION CITIES especially Salt Lake City. Hoping that American Idol will feature Archie on that episode. =)

David Cook is now PLATINUM!



Congratulations to David Cook. His self-titled album, David Cook is now certified platinum. As of writing, it has sold more than 900,000. It was certified on January 22nd. His album was released on November 18 in the US.

Light On, DC's current single is currently sittin' on the 28th spot of iTunes Top 100 Songs, and its' digital download sales has gone over 500k, which makes it eligible to be certified gold.

MMK featuring Derek Ramsay, Coco Martin




ABS-CBN's award-winning drama anthology, Maalaala Mo Kaya featured Derek Ramsay and Coco Martin.


Derek Ramsay plays the role of a victim of sexual abuse in this week’s gut-wrenching episode of “Maalaala Mo Kaya.” He plays the role of Richard, a victim of sexual abuse by his own father who is a closet gay. Traumatized, he grows up with a burning desire to take revenge on his father and all gays in general. This is his distorted mission in life when he meets Billy (played by Coco Martin), a homosexual who is about to change every bad thing he believes in since his father raped him then left him behind.

This is a must-see episode of MMK. I actually just finished watching it on YT.

'My Life Would Suck Without Song', Kelly Clarkson song

"My Life Would Suck Without You" had its' world premiere on the Elvis Duran Show on New York Radio Station z100. Listen to the song... lyrics posted below




Guess this means you’re sorry
You’re standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
What you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you’d never come back
But here you are again
Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you
Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin’ to pick a fight
I know that I’ve got issues
But you’re pretty messed up too
Anyway, I found out I’m nothing without you
Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you
Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn’t miss you, but I can’t let go
Oh yeah
Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

'Huling El Bimbo', McDonald's Philippines TV Ad

I really like this commercial. Two people met each other during childhood, but ended up not being together... How sad? This is not the typical ending of love stories we see on TV, but I loved it... "Huling El Bimbo", a song from Eraserheads is used as background music. Video is posted below...

All singles that she released topped the Billboard's Hot Country Songs, except for Don't Forget To Remember Me which peaked at #2. Would this be her eighth #1?

2009 People's Choice Awards



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Batman movie "The Dark Knight" soared away with five People's Choice Awards on Wednesday including favorite movie and on-screen pairing for stars Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger to kick off Hollywood's annual awards season.

Country singer Carrie Underwood, who rose to fame on television talent show "American Idol," was another big winner, hauling in three People's Choice Awards for favorite female singer, country song "Last Name," and star under 35 years-old.

"Fans and people voting for me are what gave me a career in the first place," Underwood said, acknowledging the voting by music lovers. "This is an amazing night."

The People's Choice Awards, in its 35th edition this year, are a widely watched measure of popular appeal for Hollywood stars and they mark a starting point for the industry's annual awards season which runs through the Oscars, the world's top film awards, that take place in February.

Adam Sandler was named funniest male star, Reese Witherspoon favorite female movie star, and Kate Hudson top leading lady among winners in more than 40 categories covering film, television, music and even online entertainment.

Sandler, Witherspoon and Hudson all echoed a familiar theme of the night by saying People's Choice honors were special because they were voted on by fans, as opposed to critics or members of industry groups.

The ceremony also has a more casual atmosphere compared to TV's Emmy's or the film industry's Oscars, where black ties and ball gowns are mandatory.

STOMACH PROBLEMS

Noting that difference, Katherine Heigl, who accepted the trophy for best comedy movie for her "27 Dresses," told reporters backstage that she wore a pants suit because "it was after the holidays, so I didn't want to wear anything strapless or anything I had to suck in my stomach for."

Among film honors, "Dark Knight," which was 2008's top film at box offices with global ticket sales of nearly $1 billion, also proved to be the No. 1 movie of the night. Along with best film and on-screen match-up, it hauled in awards for favorite action movie, superhero for Bale as Batman, and for its cast.

"The Secret Life of Bees" was the winner of best film drama and favorite independent film, and animated "Wall-E" was the No. 1 family film for People's Choice voters.

In the TV arena, medical show "House" was named favorite TV drama, and "Two and a Half Men" was best TV comedy.

"The Mentalist" was top new TV drama while "Gary Unmarried" was the No. 1 new TV comedy.

"House" star Hugh Laurie took home the trophy for favorite male TV star, and Christina Applegate took the honor of top female TV star for "Samantha Who?"

Applegate, who revealed earlier this year that she underwent surgery for breast cancer, said the award meant a lot to her after a difficult year."

"I feel great. I really do," she told reporters backstage. "Each week gets easier and each week gets better."

Ellen DeGeneres was named best TV talk show host and "Dancing With the Stars" was the people's pick for No. 1 competition or reality TV show.

Along with Underwood, top winners in music included Kid Rock for favorite rock song "All Summer Long," Rascal Flatts for favorite group, Chris Brown best male singer and Katy Perry with best pop tune "I Kissed a Girl." A complete list of winners can be found at www.pcavote.com.

Billboard Hot 100 (Jan 17 Issue)



Just like what I thought. Just Dance rules this week's Billboard Hot 100. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) descends just one spot to #2. David Archuleta drops 8 spots, 27 - 35; while Cook advances 3 notches, 40 - 37. Human by the band that I heart, The Killers, is at 44, gaining 4 spots (currently, Human is at #26 on iTunes Top 100 downloads, it may help improve its' standing next week if it retains its' spot for couple of days). Love Story has a new peak at #4, White Horse moves from 41 to 38.

Christian Bautista & Karylle are just friends...


Singer Christian Bautista downplayed reports that he is wooing ABS-CBN's newest contract star Karylle.

The singer said that he just considers Karylle as one of his good friends.

"Hindi ako nanliligaw. We are friends," Bautista said in an interview during the premiere of Hollywood film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".

Bautista's statement stemmed from reports that he is now dating Karylle amid reports that actor Jericho Rosales is also courting the singer.

Bautista watched the Hollywood movie with Karylle and other showbiz friends. He admitted that he and Karylle are really going out together but clarified that they are only hanging out as friends.

Bautista worked with Karylle for the musical play "West Side Story". He had a wish for his onstage partner.

"I hope you will find your true love in due time," Bautista told Karylle.

HE MENTIONED CHARICE!!!

I hope everyone’s having a great new year so far! I have an official resolution I have set which I’m going to try and keep up with this year, but I’m going to keep it to myself to see how well I do until the end haha… But if you guys don’t mind sharing your resolutions feel free to! I think it’s fun to know about those kinds of things. I performed at a thing in Orem, Utah called Newphoria which was great. My parents, little sisters, and a bunch of my friends were able to come and celebrate! I sang ALTNOY and Crush, and there were some other really neat acts there. My friends, The Osmonds 2nd Generation who were also performing earlier, got a hold of me and invited me to do it. I thought it was a really fun way to celebrate while at home, and I was sooo happy to have my friends and family there with me. We had a blast! Ashley Tisdale was also there hosting. We danced like idiots, and I got some good exercise out of it.

This weekend I went to San Diego to visit a girl for Make-A-Wish who was having a very difficult time battling cancer. It was probably one of the most special things I have ever experienced, and incredibly touching. It helped me even more to be motivated and act. We need to keep ..ing those who battle against such sicknesses. I want to thank those of you who are so strong in facing those kinds of obstacles, and are such an example of hope and strength. Something like that reminds me of what matters most in this life, and I hope to never forget that. I want to thank her and her family, and I want them to know I’m strongly keeping them in my prayers. I’m also so appreciative of Make-A-Wish for allowing incredible things to happen for kids and let their dreams come true. And THANK YOU!! to all of you guys for your donations that you’ve been sending for such great causes! A lot of you have made donations in my name, so thanks for doing that. I always think about how those donations will help out, even if it’s not a huge contribution. That small amount can help change someone’s life one way or another, and just thinking about it gives me the chills. But anyway, sorry for going off on that, I just felt like it was something important to let out.
While we were in San Diego, I got to meet up with one of my friends who was there on vacation. Their family was going to the Chargers vs. Colts game, so we decided to go too! It was such an exciting game, and I’m really glad I was able to see my friend haha. I think it’s cool to meet up with buddies somewhere different from where you live. It was my first NFL game, and the crowd was nuts. The really cool thing about it is the game was at Qualcomm Stadium, which is where I first auditioned for American Idol! It brought back a lot of memories of a lot of waiting lol. But it was cool, and neat to think about how it all started.
Today I’ll be singing at Utah’s Governor Huntsman’s inauguration, and even though it’s FREEZING… it should be a good time. I actually sang at the Governor Huntsman’s inauguration the first time lol. But yeah. It’s actually so hard to sing when it’s cold! I tend to lose my voice in cold weather, and I must be cold-blooded because I just don’t do well with low temperatures. I’ll let you know how it went in my next blog, but I better get going here. Unlike my last blog, this is pretty long haha. So I’ll talk to you guys later!

P.S. Before I go I wanted to mention one thing real quick. I was hanging out at my house when my parents called me in to watch a story on Oprah about this girl named Charice. I had seen her on youtube before and she was at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, but it was amazing to hear her story and her voice! She seriously has one of the best voices I’ve heard in a long time, and I had chills the entire time I was watching about her life. So instead of a song for the day I think you should check her out! It’s more like a person for the day haha. She was really inspiring and for those of you who haven’t heard her yet I think you’re in for a real treat! She sang My Heart Will Go On during her appearance on Oprah, and it’s amazing to see how much passion she has for what she does! I also loved how she talked about how important her mom was to her. I hope you guys enjoy!

'My Life Would Suck Without You' Lyrics, Kelly Clarkson Song



This is Kelly Clarkson's new song, from her upcoming 4th album "Masquerade", My Life Would Suck Without You. Her album will be out on March 17 in the US. Reports are saying that the album will be more of a pop album. The song hasn't leaked yet, so just stay tuned.

‘My Life Would Suck Without You’

Guess this means you’re sorry
You’re standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
What you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you’d never come back
But here you are again

Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin’ to pick a fight
I know that I’ve got issues
But you’re pretty messed up too
Anyway, I found out I’m nothing without you

Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn’t miss you, but I can’t let go
Oh yeah

Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you
