Matteo Guidicelli Apologizes on National TV

Matteo Guidicelli made a public apology yesterday on national television about what happened between him and Coco Martin at the after-party of the Star Magic Ball held Saturday night at The Peninsula Manila. [RELATED STORY]

Maja Salvador guested on The Buzz on Sunday to promote her movie Thelma and to talk about what happened at the Manila Pen. During the interview, the pretty actress admitted that she and Matteo were in a relationship and she was the cause of the fight between the two actors. She also told Boy Abunda that she doesn't know where her relationship with Matteo is heading after what happened. She, though, refused to give full details of what transpired.

A day after Maja's interview on The Buzz, Matteo gave his statement via the ABS-CBN noontime show, Happy Yipee Yehey, where he was a regular of. The Cebuano actor said, "I'm very, very sorry for what happened. It was a very unnecessary matter. Sorry talaga sa nangyari. Sa lahat ng fans, mga bosses namin, sorry po talaga. Tita Cory (Vidanes, ABS-CBN Channel Head), Sir Deo (Endrinal, ABS-CBN Business Unit Head), nandun sila. Sa lahat ng tao na naapektuhan, the biggest sorry. I'm very sad.”

Although he didn't apologize directly to Coco, Matteo promised one thing. “Aayusin namin ang lahat, Kuya John," he told John Estrada who was one of his co-hosts in the noontime show, "kaya wala nang problema.”

Andi Eigenmann Blogs About Her Baby's Father

Months after she admitted she was pregnant, Andi Eigenmann revealed the father of her child through her blog. Albie Casiño was named in one of her posts, although it was later edited and replaced with the words "the baby daddy (-_- really?)."

On the third paragraph of her September 4 post titled #welliwasneverreallytheconventionaltype, Andi originally wrote:

Maybe instead of feeling bad that Albie left me to take on this responsibility by myself, I should thank him for giving me the opportunity go out and find genuine happiness once again. I'd obviously love for him to be around eventually. You know, to save myself the struggle to find a good way to explain his absence to his child. At the same time, I'd understand. Cus after all, I have no idea who or what kind of a person all the fame and fortune has turned him into now. All I hope is that he's well.

Even before she made the post, though, people have always speculated that Albie was the father of the unborn since he was Andi's boyfriend when she got pregnant. It actually stained the wholesome image of the actor, and perhaps it was the reason why he was pulled out on some (if not all) of his acting projects that had been given to him before the news about Andi's pregnancy broke out.

Eventually, Albie was seen on Maalaala Mo Kaya and 100 Days to Heaven episodes. There were also reports that he would star in the TV adaptation of Problem Child where he would act opposite Cherie Gil, the original star of the movie who is also Andi's aunt. Recent talks, though, says that Albie will no longer be in the show. His role, according to the grapevine, had already been given to Paulo Avelino.

In the recent Star Magic Ball, Albie and Paulo seemed to be in good terms as evident in the photo below.

Denise Laurel Admits Giving Birth to a Son

Denise Laurel admitted to yesterday's episode of The Buzz that she indeed got pregnant and had given birth to a baby boy.

image

Rumors about her pregnancy surfaced last year after her character in ABS-CBN's Kristine got axed. She denied the rumors but eventually faded from the limelight.

She surprised everyone when she topbilled last Saturday's episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya opposite Matt Evans. A day later, she admitted the pregnancy issue on The Buzz.

But why did she come out with the confession now after denying it all in the past?

Para masagot ko iyong mga tanong. I wanted to do it in a time na hindi magulo, hindi stressful, 'yung I can face everybody happy and show them what I really feel," she said.

She refused to name the father of her son, though. She said he is not a celebrity and she's keeping his identity in respect for his family. "We are still together. I can say that he provides for his family. He is a great father. We are just working on things as they come along," Denise further said.

She's also thankful for the support she got from her family, who were the the first ones that came to her mind when she found out she's pregnant. But although her family was disappointed, "not once did they raise their voice... they talked to me, they asked me if I love the father, if I’m ready for this... My family has always been there for me. Not even thank you is enough. I’m just so thankful that I have people in my life like them,” she said.

Coco Martin and Matteo Guidicelli Figure in a Fight at the Star Magic Ball 2011

Coco Martin and Matteo Guidicelli figured in a fight at The Peninsula Manila during the Star Magic Ball 2011 held Saturday night.

Matteo reportedly left the hotel with a bleeding mouth courtesy of Coco's fist. Witnesses said, though, that it was Matteo who started the fight. The My Binondo Girl star allegedly choked Coco, which caused the latter to defend himself by punching Matteo.

Further reports said that the fight started when Matteo grabbed Coco by the back of his coat/shirt.

image

The name of Maja Salvador was immediately dragged into the issue. The pretty Thelma star and Matteo Guidicelli have been constantly linked to each other for sometime. Coco Martin, on the other hand, was Maja's leading man in the recently-concluded ABS-CBN drama, Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. Talks about Matteo being jealous of Coco had circulated numerous times especially that Coco was vocal in expressing his admiration for Maja.

Meanwhile, on The Buzz, Maja talked to Boy Abunda about the incident and admitted she was the cause of it all. She also admitted for the first time that she and Matteo are in a relationship but confessed she doesn't know where their relationship would go after the incident at the Manila Pen.

On the question regarding what triggered the fight between the two actors, Maja refused to go into details, but said it's not true that Coco Martin kissed her on the lips during the after party at the hotel's Salon de Ning bar.

The Star Magic management already released a statement saying that Matteo Guidicelli and Coco Martin have already patched things up. “What happened was just a simple misunderstanding," the statement says. "Both Coco and Matteo are sorry it happened. Everything has been resolved.”

PRC Turns Down Hayden Kho's Appeal

Dishonorable and unethical conduct had been the basis of Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to revoke Hayden Kho's authority to practice the medical profession. That decision was given on November 20, 2009, following Hayden's much publicized sex video scandal with female celebrities, the most controversial of which was the Kapuso actress Katrina Halili.

image

Hayden, a cosmetic surgeon before his license was revoked, filed an appeal after PRC made that decision, but it was turned down earlier this week. The commission, though, was quick to say that their decision wasn't final yet. Hayden's camp can still file another appeal.

In a text message to GMA News, Hayden had this to say regarding his medical license: "It is difficult to accept and it's painful, because I'm losing my medical license not because of lack of knowledge or skills or even lack of dedication to my profession, but because of what I did in my personal life. I am not saying what I did was not wrong, but I appeal for fairness."

In a statement sent to entertainment columnist Ricky Lo, Hayden's girlfriend, Dra. Vici Belo said: "I am filled with sadness that Hayden's appeal has been turned down. Being a doctor myself, I know how difficult the journey was the years of studying and endless sleepless nights on duty, not to mention the huge cost of a medical education that his parents sacrificed for."

Katrina Halili was thankful that her fight for justice was having positive results. She's not literally rejoicing for what happened with Hayden Kho's medical license, but said that she's just doing what legal actions she could do to give justice to the scandal she got involved in two years ago.

Carla Abellana's E-mail to Mario Bautista

After columnist Mario Bautista confronted Carla Abellana during My Neighbor's Wife's press conference last night, one would wonder what the actress wrote in her e-mail to Mario that made him confront her in that manner at the said presscon.

My Neighbor's Wife presscon

Good thing Jojo Gabinete has an unedited copy of the e-mail that he published in his PEP.ph blog, Cabinet Files.

You can read the content of Carla's e-mail to the columnist below.

“HI Mario! This is Carla Abellana. I just read your Journal August 21 article entitled ‘Geoff Won’t Watch Carla’s Daring Movie’ and was shocked.

“First off, I don’t remember being interviewed by you recently.

“Second, not a single word you supposedly ‘quoted’ from me is true. Those words never came out of my mouth.

“Third, I was never challenged by Ms. Lovi Poe in our movie because it was never a goal for me to equal her in this movie. My character’s goal is different from hers and she’s a completely different actress with a completely different role from mine.
“It was never an intention for me to equal her in this movie because whatever I do, I never will!

“For you to use such words as ‘… biggest challenge here for me is Lovi Poe…’ and ‘… I feel obligated na pantayan yung ginagawa niya…’ are words that never even crossed my mind, all the more come out of my mouth.

“Fourth, the supposed quotation in the last line of your first paragraph says, ‘Ganu’n din si Jake Cuenca, mahusay in doing bed scenes.’

“How can I possibly say that when Jake and I haven’t even done a love scene?

“Lastly, I never said that Mr. Geoff Eigenmann decided not to watch the movie. I never said that because presently he is not even sure if he’s going to be in the country when the movie comes out.

“It makes me wonder where you got all your information. Obviously this article is based on second-hand information, therefore unreliable.

“This is an opportunity for you to receive straight feedback from me, as I hope that it is important since I am the subject of this article.

“Please double check on your information and ‘facts’ first before publishing anything. A basic rule that I’m sure a respected writer such as you already know and consider common sense.

“Thank you very much and I can only hope that you publish an erratum article following this.

“If not, I can always clarify this to other press members during our succeeding press cons for ‘My Neighbor’s Wife.’”

Aside from Carla Abellana, My Neighbor's Wife is topbilled by Dennis Trillo, Jake Cuenca, and Lovi Poe. Written and directed by Palanca awardee Jun Lana, the movie will hit theaters nationwide on September 14, 2011.

Carla Abellana Gets Castigated During "My Neighbor's Wife" Presscon

One of My Neighbor's Wife's leads, Carla Abellana, was castigated during the movie's press conference Monday night, August 22, 2011.

Veteran showbiz columnist Mario Bautista confronted Carla about the e-mail she sent him regarding an article that was published in his column. The actress was allegedly misquoted in one part of the article and e-mail was to demand an erratum for that.

Mario Bautista reasoned that he only based his article on the publicity slant provided by Regal Entertainment, the producer of My Neighbor's Wife.

Oasis Brothers Takes Rivalry to Court

It's really sad when sibling go against each other, just like what's currently happening to Liam and Noel Gallagher, former vocalist and guitarist of the already disbanded Oasis.

Oasis - Liam and Noel Gallagher

Liam, 38, issued a statement on Friday that he was suing his brother Noel, 44, over the comments made by the latter about the cancellation of a certain show and why the band split two years ago.

In his statement, Liam was quoted as saying, "I have taken legal action against Noel Gallagher for statements he made during the Electric Cinema press conference on July 6 during which he claimed Oasis pulled out of the 2009 V Festival Chelmsford gig because I had a hangover.

"That is a lie and I want Oasis fans, and others who were at V, to know the truth."

Liam said it was a case of laryngitis as diagnosed by a doctor, and not hangover. The singer, who is now the front man of Beady Eye, went on to say, "Noel also falsely stated that the demise of Oasis followed a massive row in which he claimed I demanded to advertise my clothing range Pretty Green in the Oasis tour program," he added.

"The truth is there was no such discussion or row between us. There are many reasons why Oasis split. But it had nothing to do with my clothing range."

Noel Gallagher, on the other hand, hasn't commented on the lawsuit filed against him by his brother as of the moment.

Oasis became famous in the 90s, with hits like Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, and Don't Look Back in Anger.

Janna Dominguez Admits She's On With Mickey Ablan

Raymond Gutierrez interviewed Janna Dominguez in the segment Correct or Reject of GMA-7's Showbiz Central. The ex-Pinoy Fear Factor contestant became controversial for being in the receiving end of Iwa Moto's rants on Twitter.

Janna Dominguez

Their rift stemmed from one person, a non-showbiz guy named Mickey Ablan, who was Iwa's ex-boyfriend and Janna's current. And yes, Janna already admitted that she and Mickey are officially on.

After the admittance, though, was the explanation that the guy became her boyfriend after his relationship with Iwa.

And is Janna ready to face Iwa when the ex-StarStruck contestant comes home from Japan? Janna answered that with an immediate yes. She said that it's better they talk about their matters face-to-face, without microphones or cameras around, instead of taking it all out to Twitter.

And when asked who is prettier between her and Iwa, Janna said she should be humble so she chose Iwa as the one prettier.

Watch the video clip of Janna Dominguez's interview on Showbiz Central after the jump.

Vice Ganda is Not Dead

Vice Ganda is not dead, as opposed to the rumor that started on Twitter last Monday.

A certain @TADO_jimenez (a Twitter account which is not owned by the comedian Tado) started the rumor with his tweet: “OMG! VICE GANDA meet a car accdnt in HK& ddn’t survive the crash just today cnfirmd by pep.ph RIP VICE!”

Vice Ganda indeed went to Hong Kong with friends Kris Aquino and Liz Uy. The ace comedian was also not in Showtime last Monday that's why many believed car crash hoax.

The "unkabogable" Showtime judge, though, appeared on the show Tuesday, belying the rumors.

He also faced the media and said, “Safe na safe ako at magandang-maganda pa rin po ako. Unkabogable po ako at hindi pa po ako mamamatay. Marami pa akong pasisiyahin na mga tao kaya dire-direcho pa rin ang happiness natin."

Vice also said he doesn't believe that Tado is behind the Twitter account where the hoax started. He believed that it is just a poser.

Andi Eigenmann Anwers Questions Regarding Pregnancy

For the first time since the pregnancy news broke out, Andi Eigenmann answered questions about her pregnancy.

ABS-CBN News got the chance to talk to the controversial young actress on her way out of the UP Theatre in Diliman, Quezon City after watching Cuchera yesterday.

When asked about her pregnancy, Andi said, "Okay naman po. Thank you."

But how is she coping with working long hours on the set of Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin? "Okay naman po. Hindi po ako nahihirapan. The staff and crew and the production are giving me the right amount of protection and care that I need at sinusuportahan nila ako dito," the pregnant actress said.

The show is said to be coming to its finale soon and the production team as well as the stars are all busy taping the final episodes.

Andi Eigenmann, who will give birth before the year ends, also expressed her thanks to her supporters for continuing to love her despite what happened.

Despite being vocal about the state of her pregnancy, Andi and her family are still mum about the identity of the baby's father.

Marian Rivera Releases Official Statement Regarding Heart Evangelista Incident

Marian Rivera has released an official statement regarding the incident with Heart Evangelista through her manager, Popoy Caritativo.

Popoy sent this to Philippine Entertainment Portal:

“I have spoken with Marian earlier and we have decided that for the sake of peace and out of respect to GMA, she will no longer speak about this incident so that the issue can be put to rest.

"She has already said her piece on this matter before and has already moved on from it.

"Although it’s hard for her to remain silent, she knows that there are times that peace is the better option. So she chooses peace.

"And she hopes that her supporters and fans would respect her decision. Marian sends them her love and gratitude. Thank you."

Marian is opting to keep mum about the issue believing that it would eventually fade if she did so. She chooses not to belie Heart's accusation that she (Marian) shouted at and threatened her.

Let's just hope that Lovi Poe, who was said to be the one who saw what happened, speaks out about it.

Marian, Heart, and Lovi are all in the cast of Temptation Island. It was in the filming of the said movie where the shouting incident happened.

Marian Rivera on MOD Magazine's July 2011 Cover

Kapuso star Marian Rivera is on the cover of MOD magazine's July 2011 issue with the cover story "Marian Reigns: The Prime Time Queen Reclaims Her Throne."

marian mod

Marian Rivera, who stars in the movie Temptation Island, also plays the lead character in GMA-7's top ranking primetime epicserye Amaya. The primetime queen is also quite controversial as of late due to alleged incidents with Heart Evangelista and Sam Pinto.

Heart Evangelista, on the evening news last night, claimed that Marian went to her dressing room and angrily shouted insults at her while they were shooting Temptation Island. The confrontation, according to Heart, stemmed from her announcement that she was excited to work in a TV project with Dingdong Dantes, who is Marian's current boyfriend.

Sam Pinto, on the other hand, said in her interview with tabloid columnist Pete Ampoloquio Jr that her "misery" started when she was linked with Dingdong Dantes. According to the interview, Marian went as far as to bump her on purpose one time. Good thing Sam was able to dodge.

Sam was actually the first one to talk about her issues with Marian. Heart kept her silence for a while and only spilled the beans after her Brazil trip with boyfriend Daniel Matsunaga.

Is there a hate campaign going on against the Kapuso Primetime Queen? I hope not.

Amanda Coling Defers Legal Action Against Azkals

Amanda Coling, the woman allegedly raped by some of the Philippine Azkals team members (read related post), has come out with a statement regarding the said incident. She's willing to accept apologies from those who "raped" her, and is deferring legal action against Anton del Rosario, Simon Greatwich, Jason Sabio and Neil Etheridge.

Amanda Coling

Surprised?

The commercial mode/events host has already made quite a buzz with the rape scandal. I guess that's just what she wanted, after all. And now that she already had her 15 minutes of fame, she's "moving on" with her life and cancels legal action.

You can view Amanda Coling's statement (through her lawyer) after the jump.

Foo Fighter's Dave Grohl Kicked a Brawler Out of the Concert Venue

Foo Fighter front Dave Grohl recently shouted to a member of the audience who started brawling during his performance at the iTunes Festival in London last Monday, July 11, 2011.

The singer was in the middle of the song when he noticed a fight in the audience. He stopped the band, silenced everyone and began to shout expletives to the "f*cking guy in the striped shirt." He ordered the brawler to leave his show because according to Dave Grohl, "You don't come to my show and fight. You come to my show and f*cking dance."

The audience chanted his name but he dismissed it and resumed singing.

Watch the scene below.

I guess it's the security's job to kick someone out. But anyway, the event was for free. I wonder if David Grohl would do that if the audience paid for tickets.

Enrique Gil Replaces Albie Casiño in the Kathryn Bernardo-Julia Montes Launching Movie

Albie Casiño's showbiz career seems to gloom with the controversy involving him with Andi Eigenmann's pregnancy. Even if Andi's camp doesn't name the young actor, saying alone that the father of her child is her first boyfriend drops the bomb. Of course, the public knows about their relationship and the bad breakup they went through recently.

What's more, clearing the name of the other person (read: Jake Ejercito) suspected of being the father of Andi's unborn only confirmed that the 17-year-old Albie, indeed, was the father.

The controversy has resulted into Albie's being pulled out from the projects that he was supposed to do. He is not anymore part of the upcoming Growing Up, and he was pulled out from the Julia Montes-Kathryn Bernardo launching movie.

Was it some sort of a punishment given to him by ABS-CBN? Or were they just afraid people wouldn't support the young actor anymore because of his involvement in the controversy?

enrique, albie

Enrique Gil was reported to replace Albie in the Julia-Kathryn launching movie. His Good Vibes co-star Sam Concepcion is also in the movie as a replacement for AJ Perez who passed away in a tragic vehicular accident last April.

The original leading men are out. Of course, we don't wanna say that the movie is doomed and would like to think that it's just really not meant to be. But what do you think of the Julia Montes-Sam Concepcion love team? How about the Kathryn Bernardo-Enrique Gil team-up?

It's really sad that Albie Casiño is now out of the movie because the tandem had already developed a fan base from their Mara Clara days. Let's just hope, and I'm sure Albie's fans would agree with this, that the young actor would be given another chance, whether as Kathryn's love team or not.

The Azkals in a Gang Rape Scandal

Four members of the Philippine Azkals are allegedly involved in a rape scandal, at least that's what the rumors currently spreading on the internet says.

neil etheridge

The "scandal" started as a blind item in which four athletes were the subject. According to the blind item, these four athletes got drunk one night and took home a random girl from a bar. One of them took a video of "what they did" which the girl somehow found out when they woke up the following morning. The four athletes denied the video and threw the girl outside the house.

It was recently "reported" that the girl have already filed charges against the four athletes.

The four athletes allegedly involved were eventually named as Neil Etheridge, Anton Del Rosario, Jason Sabio, and Simon Greatwich. This became harder to disregard when actress Michelle Madrigal, who is friends with some members of the Azkals, tweeted something that many believed was with regards to the alleged rape scandal.

mitch_madrigal

Michelle Madrigal tweeted: "People should stop assuming..I'm friends with neil,simon n anton.wala naman kayong alam kaya sana wag kayo gumawa ng kwento.don't hate coz I'm cool w them!to all the fans I'm NOT dating neil etheridge.I don't normally care about what people say but your words are hurting me deeply.thank u n godbless!

The gang rape scandal has also reached the pages of Bandera, a local tabloid. The tabloid said that the former Philippine Football Federation consultant Paul Weiler e-mailed them with the details of the gang rape as related to him by the Azkals' head coach himself, Michael Weiss. He also had screenshots of his Facebook conversation with Neil Etheridge regarding the gang rape.

24 Oras recently had a chance to talk to the Azkals and Team Manager Dan Palami had this to say: "Before we judge or before we post anything siguraduhin natin 'yong facts because maraming taong naaapektuhan. And, of course, on our side we wanna make sure na kung may katotohanan man we will not tolerate it... But on the other hand kung ang basis ko lang naman is statement ng isang nagpapanggap na consultant at saka isang blog, medyo mahihirapan ako mag-take ng actions just based on those things."

In a live interview with Mel Tiangco, the Team Manager said that he already talked to the players regarding the matter the first time he heard about it. Those who were allegedly involved in the controversy denied it.

Paul Weiler was a consultant for the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) some ten years ago under the administration of that time. Palami said he had already met Weiler who wanted to apply to again become PFF's consultant, but the Team Manager told him they didn't have that kind of position. Palami thought being rejected to become part of the team motivated Paul Weiler to put the Azkals down through "scandals" like this.

Meanwhile, Team Captain Aly Borromeo, said "I think there's a few people out there who just wanna take away the limelight off the Azkals and it's a shame for people like that in the Philippines."

Let's just hope that this controversy doesn't affect their match against Kuwait in teh second round of the 2014 World Cup Asia qualifiers. They will fly to Bahrain this weekend to begin their acclimatization for their away game in Hawalli, Kuwait on July 23. The second leg of the game will be held here in Manila on July 28.

Spotted: Pregnant Andi Eigenmann at the Preview Best Dressed Ball 2011

Andi Eigenmann was seen in public for the first time after her mother, Jaclyn Jose, confirmed the rumors about her pregnancy. She attended the Preview Best Dressed Ball last night, July 8, 2011, at the Seventh High in Fort.

Above photo shows Andi with comedian Vice Ganda.

Almost five months pregnant, Andi still looked gorgeous in her champagne-colored long dress by Sassa Jimenez.

She seemed so different from the carefree Andi we're used to see in pictures. But just 21 years old, I'm sure she'd be back with her youthful glow after giving birth.

As to who the father of her baby is still remains a question. But, of course, it's Andi's choice whether to let the public know about it or not.
