Krista finally breaks silence

SEXY Star Krista Ranillo once and for all dismissed rumors that she's two months pregnant.

In a television interview, Krista cleared all the intrigues surfacing the entertainment industry for a few weeks now, which was thrown at her.

The first issue that Krista talked about was the news about her family owning a restaurant in the US that was said to be given by boxing champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Krista said this issue is definitely not true.

“Wala kaming business. My brother is a chef and they do like catering business pero matagal na nilang ginagawa yun (We don't have a business (restaurant). My brother is a chef and they do catering business but they were doing it for a long time already),” she said. “I heard (they say) we have a restaurant, its not true, definitely not true.”

Krista also reacted on the news linking her to the low turnout of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry "Wapakman."

“It's unfair kasi pag napanood mo naman hindi naman ganun kalaki yung role ko kasi ako yung villian (It's unfair because if you will be able to watch it my role wasn't that big. I played the villain in the movie),” she said.

Krista said she doesn't know why it did not work well in the box office and that before the festival started she was really hoping and praying the movie will be a success.

The young actress also said she doesn't want to blame anyone on the result of the MMFF movie and that she's very proud and no regrets in doing it.

“No regrets because it is a very good project. I was excited to do it, I was proud to be on the set, like I gave my best talaga,” Krista said.

She was also confronted on the news about her recent trip abroad which made a lot of buzz saying that she, and her dog, flew to the US via business class.

“When I work I give it my best, I give it my all and when I earn money nasa saakin naman yun eh how I want to spend it eh, if I want to fly, kasi trinabaho ko naman yun eh,” Krista said.

The sexy actress admitted that her world turned upside-down from all the things coming up and she's hurt not with the news thrown at her but when her family was dragged in the situation.

“I think any other person masasaktan talaga, kasi I said na dibale na ako ang tirahin nyo, pero pag sinasama na yung pamilya ko yun na ang masakit (I think any other person will really be hurt. I said that I don't care if people will say things about me, but when my family was drag in the sitation, that's the time I'm hurting),” she said.

The daughter of actor Matt Ranillo III describes her self as a very patient, very understanding woman, not a war freak, and is happy with simple things.

Krista finally set the record straight and said that she's not pregnant and doesn't know where all these things are coming.

She also denied being in Cebu or to any hospital in Metro Manila.

Prior to her statement, in a separate interview, her manager Arnold Vigafria said that with Krista's schedule right now, she doesn't have the luxury to travel to Cebu.

Krista is also asking everyone to move on and leave everything to 2009 especially that it is a new year, a new decade.

When asked for her message to her detractors, Krista said: “When people say you can't, just say watch me.”

Megan Young first big showbiz break was with the talent reality search Star Struck.

Her talent and personality landed her in the show top six. But despite her good finish, Megan acting career never took off. Projects came to her in trickles. Often she would be typecast as the antagonist, the bitch, the bad girl --- something she found unpleasant. She soon moved to ABS-CBN following her sister, Lauren, who was part of Star Magic Star Circle 13.

Aubrey Miles

2009-03-24T06:35:00.000-07:00

Aubrey Miles (born Aubrey Sandel, March 16, 1982 in Caloocan, Philippines) is a TV host, singer and actress in the Philippines.
Miles is the third among the four kids of Victorino Sandel and Maria Perla Santos. She finished her secondary education at La Consolacion Academy in Caloocan City. She was a college sophomore student at the University of Santo Thomas Conservatory of Music, major in voice and minor in piano when talent scout Dondon Monteverde discovered and signed her up to an eight-film, two-year contract with Regal Films.

At 16, Miles was already appearing in GMA sitcoms like Beh Bote Nga and German Moreno's Best Friends. In between showbiz assignments, she joined beauty contests such as Miss Ever Gotesco, Miss Caloocan, Miss Lions Club, and Miss Global Philippines in which her sister ended up being the first runner-up and she won fourth runner-up. She never won a title but copped runner-up positions that earned her enough money to support her family and herself.

As Miles was nearing the age of 20, she decided to do something new. Dondon Monteverde offered her to play a prostitute from the provinces in the softcore movie Prosti (abbreviation for "prostitute"). After Prosti became successful in the box office, making P29 million. To date, Prosti is still the highest grossing movie of her career. This successful debut led to other movie offers, all of which did not enjoy the same level of success as Prosti. She was offered endorsement contracts from different companies, such as Bench (a clothing company in the Philippines).

After Prosti, Miles starred in the movie Xerex (based on a sex confessional column in a Philippine tabloid), where she played three different roles. Xerex was a commercial disaster as a result of two movies: Viva Films' Sex Drive and 20th Century Fox's X2: X-Men United.

Originally scheduled for an April 2, 2003 opening date, Regal Films did not want to risk playing Xerex with Sex Drive knowing that Aubrey's rival Maui Taylor and fellow Viva hot babe Katya Santos are a formidable box-office attraction together. Realizing that there's no chance of winning against Viva's sexy movie, Regal delayed Xerex's opening by 28 days.

Unfortunately again for Regal and Aubrey Miles, Xerex opened on the same April 30, 2003 date as Hollywood's X2 made its much-awaited debut. Adding insult to injury, Star Cinema released its much-awaited romantic comedy Til There Was You (Judy Ann Santos and Piolo Pascual) that same day as well. Because Regal spent so much money and could not afford another delay, they went ahead in releasing Xerex. As a wide majority of filmgoers watched X2 and Til There Was You, Xerex flopped in the box-office making only P13.3 million on a budget of P24 million. Even with home videos accounted for, Regal lost a total of P18.1 million with Xerex. Since Xerex, Miles' movie career and ability to attract moviegoers got damaged and never recovered.
Miles' next movie, Sanib, further damaged her acting career as it grossed only 8.2 million PhP in the box office despite its P25 million budget and massive marketing by Regal Films. It was universally panned by film critics as a poor man's copycat of The Exorcist. Not surprisingly, Miles was perceived as a candidate for "2003's Worst Actress" due to her badly-criticized performance in this movie. She played a young lady who gets possessed by demons, very much like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

Targeting multi-media exposure, Miles' manager secured for her a contract with television network ABS-CBN. She appeared in Masayang Tanghali Bayan (a daily noontime show) and in several sitcoms of ABS-CBN. As part of her marketing strategy to appeal to a wider audience, she began appearing in non-sexy roles in movies like Sanib, A Beautiful Life and Gagamboy, Regal Film's entry to the 2003 Metro Manila Film Festival, where she appeared as actor Vhong Navarro's love interest.

Aubrey Miles has appeared on the cover of FHM Philippines twice. She was a cover-girl of FHM in September 2002 at the start of her career, and was completely covered in gold-paint for the magazines' 75th issue in August 2004. Aubrey was also one of three FHM Calendar Girls along with Maui Taylor and Diana Zubiri for the FHM 2003 calendar.

Miles joined as a contestant in The Amazing Race Asia 1 where she teamed-up with her real-life best friend, Jacqueline Yu. They were eliminated in the 3rd leg of the race.

Though she grew up in Tarlac, Alano was actually born Geramie Daud in Zamboanga City on 11 August 1987, to a Filipina mother and an Australian father (who later abandoned her and her mother).
She has been a contract artist under the GMA Network eversince she entered show business, and continues to do so.
Alyssa was entangled in an internet meme in the Summer of June 2006.

Alano performed the song Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer on an episode of GMA Network's late night show Master Showman Presents. Alano sang the English song in a heartfelt, cheerful way, but with a heavy Tagalog accent, which was then mocked in a mondegreened video posted on YouTube posted by "calimanok". The video contains subtitles, containing such mondegreens as "Keys Me". Toward the end of the month, the clip had been viewed over 500,000 times.

Apparently, Alano had no idea that her YouTube video became an Internet meme until it was shown to her during an interview on the show Chika Minute.

Interestingly, Alano has been a good sport in her reactions to the sudden popularity of her singing video, even publicly thanking the anonymous prankster who created the clip, saying it got her a lot of attention/publicity, and that it has truly helped her showbiz career take off.[1] She has since appeared in a few TV talk shows to jokingly re-sing "Keys Me" along with the clip's audio track.

Alano's pranksters have also broadcast another karaoke-style video of her singing "Whenever, Wherever" by Shakira and "Crush" by Jennifer Paige.

In 2007, Alano got a break on television, portraying the role of Mary in an adaptation of the action series Lupin.

Within the same year, she accepted the role of a monkey-woman in the hit fantasy series titled Kamandag alongside Benjie Parras who was the King of the Monkey-People.

In 2008, Alano is played the role of Maan in the afternoon drama Una Kang Naging Akin top-billed by Angelika dela Cruz and Maxene Magalona. She includes this project as her biggest break in television even though she was not the main character in the series.

Irish Fullerton

2009-03-14T00:17:00.000-07:00

Irish Fullerton is a singer and actress, she is a scholar of Pinoy Dream Academy
Fatima Irish Fullerton was born on July 26, 1983, she's a nursing student from Tracy, California, United States by an American father and a Filipina mother. But she was raised by her mom and her American stepfather. She never met his biological father and not even interested to meet him.

She did a cameo before in an episode of Maalala Mo Kaya shot in the US starring Heart Evangelista and Geoff Eigenmann. Had it been Irish was already popular before, it could not be described as a cameo since she appeared there on two scenes, with matching significant dialogues.

She's a working student. She works part-time as a waitress while studying Nursing.
On the first 6 Gala Nights, she was not nominated for six straight weeks but during the last six gala nights, she was nominated four times (7th, 9th, 10th & 12th Gala Nights). She was never a Star Scholar but usually stayed on the Top 3 spots (Top 3 during the 2nd Gala, Top 2 - 3rd Gala, Top 2 - 5th Gala, Top 3 - 6th Gala, Top 2 - 8th Gala).

On her first nomination, she was saved by the texters beating Yvan, Iya and Michelle. On the second, Michelle saved her when Michelle was automatically expelled. For her third probation, Jay-R has beaten her in the texters game but was eventually saved by the teachers beating Joan and Davey. Irish was saved by the viewers again along with Ronnie and Panky on her last nomination.

The highest score she received was 9.30 (5th Gala Night) when she had a duet with Chad Peralta for the song I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE and her lowest was 6.13 (10th Gala Night). Irish's average score for the 12 Gala Nights is 8.07, considerably high, 4th highest among the remaining scholars after Yvan, Panky and Yeng.

Among the songs she sang in the Academy, which gave her a good standing are SOMEWHERE, KAILAN KAYA, ISANG LINGGONG PAG-IBIG, MAGDALENA, LARGER THAN LIFE, OH HOLY NIGHT and HIRAM.

Before she enterred the academy, she was romantically linked to Gene Jay Rufino, an NCR dreamer who didn't make to Top 20. While inside the academy, Irish was romantically paired to Geoff Taylor, but she confessed that Geoff's just a brother to him.

Irish was able to make bond with Michelle and Joan inside the academy. Eman, Chad and Kristoff are also Irish's friends.

In an interview made by the Philippine Daily Inquirer last November 09, Teacher Moy Ortiz named Irish as one of his three front-runners. The others are Yeng and Yvan. Ortiz described Irish as "driven and talented." He even advised Irish to dedicate her songs to the audience and try to reach out to them.

Performance Teacher Jose Javier Reyes was also interviewed and Irish appeared on his top 3 (again). Reyes named Irish, Yeng and Ronnie as the frontrunners while he mentioned Jay-R and Chad as wildcards.

Musical influences are Megastar Sharon Cuneta, Barbra Streisand and Mariah Carey.

Irish faves Rhythn 'N Blues, Ballad and Pop songs.

She can play the piano and the guitar.

"I gave-up nursing because it’s my dream to be a singer and this is a once in a lifetime chance!"
This is most important reason why she took a hiatus from her academic life. For years she and her mother have been planning to come to Manila not just for vacation but for her to try her luck in show business. It never pushed through before because her mother got sick. Being the only daughter, she didn’t want to leave her mother alone in the States.

"My mom, my parents are my world. I don’t want to come here by myself not knowing what’s it like here. A lot of people told me to be careful when I come here by myself. So I was a little skeptical to come here so I waited for my mom to get well. But then I decided I was coming here anyway. My parents ended up staying in the US. I told my mom it was okay since I was with ABS-CBN and they’ll take care of me. So now I’m more comfortable," she explained.

Back home, Irish stayed with a roommate. She would study in the morning and work at night. She would regularly get invited to sing in State and Country Fairs. Though her mom has been trying to convince her to move back in for her to save money, she’d rather have limited resources because that would motivate her more to work hard and finish school.

She started loving singing when she was in fourth grade. And she has made a mark in various talent contests of her schools. She also auditioned for "American Idol 3," the season where Fantasia Barino won.

"My dream is to perform on stage. I love singing and being on stage. And all my problems, well, everyone has problems, I just feel like that I could just walk away from all of them. It is just an amazing feeling being on stage, seeing people appreciate my God given talent," she expressed.
Looking back, she sang a couple of lines from "Stand By Your Man" when she was stopped by the auditioner and one of the persons behind "Pinoy Dream Academy" Lauren Dyogi (the other is Linggit Tan). She thought she didn’t make it but was asked to return for another audition. She then sang with a group belting out "Lean On Me." "When we were just 11 people, he ask us to sing whatever songs in his mind. He made me sing ‘Bahay Kubo’ and I was so lucky because that was the only folk song I knew," she said.

It was her rendition of Regine Velasquez’ "Ikaw" that sealed her a spot as one of PDA’s scholars.
So what does she want the contest to do for her?

"There’s always room for improvement. I never had professional vocal singing, professional dance lessons. Just the fact that I can do this, I consider these opportunities to learn new things and use these tools to pursue what I want. Just to be here is an honor. If I don’t win, everything that I’ve learn will be a stepping stone to move forward in my singing career!"

Born July 26, her showbiz crush when she was still a kid was Aga Muhlach.

She is currently rumored boyfriend and singer Jay-R Siaboc.

Nina's mom was adopted but she was Nina's granddad's favorite daughter, so she also became his favorite granddaughter. Her lolo's real family resented it and deprived Nina's mother of her share of the inheritance. "It's really unfair because my mom really worked hard for them."

She witnessed how poorly her dad treated her mom while she was growing up. "She's a battered wife. Para kaming nasa action movie, where in e-escape kami then hahabulin niya kami. Tatakbo nanaman kami then magtatago." Her parents are now separated. Her dad is living with another woman and she has a half sister on her mother's side. "My relationship with my family is kinda err…complicated." Nina admits to the dysfunctionality of her family life. "I would always fight with my mom. Sometimes I even scream at her. But she always forgives me. I hate my dad because he always counts what he gives us. He's manunumbat, he's really annoying and feeling niya ang taas taas niya." Nina relates sadly. "I really want to help my mom out, one of the reasons I joined Pinoy Big Brother."

Nina has also worked before as a model for clothes and became anorexic. But after noticing her looks becoming miserable instead of glamorous, she started eating again. She sees herself now as a bit fat though and says she needs to lose weight. She has had her heart broken thrice but believes her true love is just out there. There's a lot more of Nina that even she can't count everything on her two hands. She's a self confessed bratinella. But is best friends with God and Mama Mary. She can cook. She can clean. Though she rarely puts those skills to use. She doesn't know things like isaw and betamax. She only knows that fishballs tastes 'masarap'.
