Precious Adona on Katrina Halili: "E, noong nag-taping kasi ako, wala namang ibang ginagawa si Katrina kung hindi matulog lang kung walang take. Understandable yun, kasi, marami rin siya raket. Kailangan niyang bumawi ng pahinga at magdamagan ang taping namin."

Dennis Trillo: "Natapos ko na ang Zaido, nakapag-shooting na rin ako ng I.T.A.L.Y. tapos na rin itong Magdusa Ka at nagkaanak na ako at magbi-birthday na nga siya, hindi pa rin naipalalabas [ang Kulam]. Naging problema po namin ay ang scheduling, dahil pareho kaming naging busy ni Judy Ann. At least po ngayon, magda-dubbing na lang kami, at maipalalabas na rin."

JC de Vera was pulled out from the movie "Sundo" as the love interest of Rhian Ramos. He will be replaced by Hero Angeles, who immediately accepted the offer.

Text Message from Marian Rivera sent Wednesday, April 23, 2008 at 2:16pm: Sa April 28 na po ang simula ng Dyesebel. Smiley Sa monday na po yun! Smiley Sana magustuhan niyo ang Dyesebel. Iba na naman po ang gagampanan ko dito. Grin txt mo agad kung ano ang masasabi mo ako bilang isang Dyesebel.

Paolo Ballesteros, Michelle Madrigal, Bianca King, Aljur Abrenica, Hero Angeles, Jean Garcia, Luis Alandy, and Alfred Vargas make up the all-star cast. Full gallery of the entire cast after the jump.

Marian Rivera plays Dyesebel, the prettiest and most adventurous mermaid who will conquer everything in the name of love. Marian will reprise the well-loved mermaid played in the past by Edna Luna, Vilma Santos, Alma Moreno, Alice Dixson, and Charlene Gonzalez.

Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera reunite in Dyesebel after the phenomenal success of Marimar.

As Dyesebel, Marian has to endure staying underwater for long hours. "Medyo nahirapan ako noong una. Yung pagngiti-ngiti, yung pagdilat ng mata, medyo nahirapan ako. Pero habang tumatagal yung taping namin, nasasanay ako. At mas masarap talaga na yung trabaho mo, habang ginagawa mo ay ine-enjoy mo," says Marian.

Dingdong Dantes plays Fredo, a multi-media mogul so full of himself that he doesn't know the meaning of love. But when he got the chance to get a glimpse of Dyesebel's beauty, he hopelessly falls in love with her.

Mylene Dizon is Dyangga, the cruel queen of the sea who will make Dyesebel's life under the sea miserable.

Michelle Madrigal is Berbola, Dyangga's daughter who acts as Dyesebel's friend but actually despises her.

Lotlot de Leon is Banak, Dyesebel's surrogate mother.

Alfred Vargas portrays Erebus, a young merman with royal blood descent who will be secretly in love with Dyesebel.

Marco Alcaraz plays Usaro, Dyangga's assistant and lover who will also be secretly in love with Dyesebel.

Paolo Ballesteros is Bukanding, Dysebel's merman friend whom she will treat as her brother.

Young actor Aljur Abrenica plays Paolo, a fisherman who will fall in love with Sheila Mae (Kris Bernal).

New Kapuso star Hero Angeles is Mark, Paolo's fisherman brother who has a grudge against Fredo's family.

Bianca King plays Betty, a model who has feelings for Fredo. She will make Dyesebel's life miserable when she becomes human.

Luis Alandy is Gildo, a model who will be Fredo's rival.

Comedian Teri Onor is Akirang, the evil sea horse.

Child actress Charlotte Hermoso plays Jelay, Dyesebel's sea-creature friend.

Child actor Filiberto Nepomuceno is Butete, another sea creature who will become Dyesebel's sidekick.

Dingdong and Marian stayed in Coron, Palawan for two weeks to shoot the pilot week. PEP

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Plus Edition! Fiesta!

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus
ABS-CBN's Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus premiered on Easter Sunday, March 23, 2008. Fourteen Filipino youngsters passed the stringent requirements and will spend their summer break inside Big Brother's house. Hotness Gallery:The primetime edition airs Mondays to Fridays, after Lobo. Uber will air weekdays at 5:30 p.m., while Update will be shown at regular intervals throughout the day. PEP, ABS-CBN:

VALERIE, 18 years old, the Dazzling Girl of Germany
Half-German, Half-Filipina Valerie is a self-confessed Daddy's girl. When her German father died, she was crushed, but now she wants to become closer to her mother. When asked to name her preferred leading man, she chose Sam Milby.

ALEX, 18, Italian Valentino of Milan
Alex has an Italian father while his mother is a Filipino domestic helper. He is an avid soccer player.

BEAUTY, 16, the Rebellious Beauty of Dumaguete
Her real name is Christine Marie but she is best known by her nickname Beauty. She is perceived to be a señorita who craves for instant gratification but deep inside, she wants to show that she can be a good girl as well.

EJAY, 18, the Promdi Hottie of Mindoro
This young man is self-sufficient—he raises animals and plants vegetables for food.

JERIEL, 16 years old, the Bubbly Girl of Davao
People might find it hard to believe but Jeriel was quite chubby when she was younger. She found the discipline to trim down and now, she has the chance to become the Big Winner of PBB and enter showbiz.

JOLAS, 18 years old, the Gentle Giant of Bulacan
Standing 6 feet 4 inches tall, Jolas used to be a basketball player for the FEU Tamaraws until he encountered some problems with his teammates. He is still optimistic that he will become a professional basketball player someday.

KEVIN, 18 years old, the Spanish Stallion of Madrid
This young equestrian can speak English and Spanish fluently. Before he entered the Big Brother's house, his mother told him, "You are going to be the King of the horses."

I just want to say that Kevin's last name is Garcia, not Flood, so his name should be written as Kevin Garcia, not Kevin Flood as other Pinoys and even ABS-CBN have written on the web. His last name, if you put it in American naming standards is Garcia, because that is his father's surname. His full name is Kevin Brendan Garcia Flood, Garcia is his Filipino father's surname, Flood is his Irish mother's surname, because Spanish naming customs are that the father's surname is before the mother's. But uneducated people in the media wrote his last name as Flood, even on official websites, publications, and newspapers. The same name confusion happened with Marian Rivera, until I fixed it of course on Wikipedia and via this blog. Her father's surname is Gracia, so her real full name written in her birth certificate would be Marian Gracia Rivera, not Marian Rivera Gracia as was written by most of the uneducated Philippine media.

Philippine Naming System
The Philippines used this traditional Spanish naming system until the country was colonized by the American government, after which the Anglo naming system was used which continues to this day, and many are so uneducated about the names of their own ancestors due to the education system in the Philippines that doesn't even teach something as important as this. Education in the Philippines...

LINDA, 16 years old, the Bikini Babe of Iriga
This pretty Bicolana admits that she has an adventurous streak—she likes to ride a motorcycle. Linda also has an impulsive streak. She candidly narrates that she would suddenly leave their home when she has a fight with her mother.

NAN, 17 years old, Junior Kengkoy of Davao
Just like Ruben Gonzaga of PBB Celebrity Edition 2, Nan is a comedian from Davao. He wants to join PBB Teen Edition Plus to show people that he was brought up well by his mother.

NICOLE, 17 years old, the In-chick of Cebu
Just like Kim Chiu of PBB Teen Edition Season 1, Nicole is a Fil-Chinese girl from Cebu. She comes from a well-off family and has always lived a sheltered life. Can she handle living among strangers inside Big Brother's house?

PRISCILLA, 17 years old, the Deaf Dreamer of Davao
On top of competing against her fellow housemates, Priscilla has to find a way to cope with Big Brother's challenges despite her hearing disability. She is able to understand others through lip reading.

ROBI, 18 years old, the True Blue Atenista of QC
He is hailed as one of the pluses of PBB Teen Edition Plus. Robi is an honor student and is also a commercial model.

RONA, 16 years old, the Prisoner's Daughter of Dumaguete
She is a good example of brains and beauty. Rona is often chosen to represent her school, whether in academic contests or in beauty pageants. However, she must deal with the stigma of having a father who is serving jail time.
