Joyce Jimenez Philippines Scariest Challenge

Joyce Jimenez, Gwen Garci, and Prescious Lara Quigaman were the guests on Philippines Scariest Challenge today October 31 Halloween on TV5. The episode was filmed on September 30th, and was controversial because of the ghosts they encountered on the set, and also because both Joyce Jimenez and Gwen Garci suffered accidents immediately after shooting the episode. Philippines Scariest Challenge airs Friday nights on TV5 at 6pm with Jomari Yllana as host. Joyce has since gone home to L.A., but not only did she sense something during the filming, but her crew was possessed by spirits that day.

Toni Gonzaga on Anne Curtis-Sam Breakup

Toni Gonzaga is close friends with both Anne Curtis and Sam Milby. Toni was rumored to be dating Sam. When asked about the breakup, Toni refused to comment about her friends.

"Bago pa man natin narinig ang issue na ‘yan, marami na rin tayong naririnig na nag-on, nag-break...nag-on, nag-break. Sa ngayon kasi, I don't wanna comment regarding other people's personal lives. Hayaan na lang natin na sila ang magsalita para sa mga personal nilang buhay."

What did Toni have to say about her sister Alex Gonzaga and her hit TV show on TV5 Juicy?

"Masayang-masaya ako for my sister and I'm very proud of her. Di maiiwasan yung nagkakapreho kami ng kilos, ng pananalita, kasi magkapatid kami. Ganun talaga yun because sabay kaming lumaki, sa iisang bahay kami nakatira. Siguro yung mga nuances namin na mayroon kami sa isa't isa ay halos pareho dahil iisang dugo lang naman ang dumadaloy sa veins namin."

And does Toni still have feelings for Sam Milby?

"Nakausap ko nga si Sam, nagkausap kami one time. I guess during that time di kasi kami nagkausap about it. Kung anuman ang feelings namin for each other before, di napag-usapan kasi nga bising-busy kami pareho, pressured dahil bagong love team kami noon, so di namin napag-usapan yun."

"Definitely, mayroon naman kaming naramdaman sa isa't isa, kaya nga lang di natuloy yun."Download FREE Toni Gonzaga Wallpapers

Oyo Boy Sotto in Midnight DJ

Oyo Boy Sotto will replace Paolo Contis in the second season of TV5's hit TV show Midnight DJ which airs Mondays at 7pm. Paolo has an exclusive contract with GMA and was only allowed to finish one season of Midnight DJ on TV5. Oyo Boy is signed to ABS-CBN, and he will star in the second season, but as a new character. Oyo Boy will not play Paolo's character Patrick, which is good because whenever an actor comes in to play the same character another actor already played, it's never believable. Just look at Bewitched. Oyo Boy is Vic Sotto's son and was dating Kristine Hermosa. Paolo is dating Isabel Oli.

Phil Younghusband TV5 Juicy

Phil Younghusband, the popular Filipino-Brit football player contestant of Celebrity Duets, was the celebrity guest of TV5's Juicy today.

Phil will go back to England for Christmas, but he will return to the Philippines afterwards. But before he leaves, Phil already has a few modeling projects lined up, in addition to the ones he has already done where Phil posed shirtless in his underwear only.

Phil played football in Britain before coming home to his mother's country, the Philippines. While visiting, he landed modeling offers and of course, the offer for GMA's hit show Celebrity Duets. Phil understands Tagalog fluently, but is still perfecting his speaking skills.

When asked what makes him juicy, Phil said his bottom. Then Alex asked him to show everyone his tushy, and then Phil stood up, turned around, and did.

JC de Vera Rhian Ramos at Makati Party

JC de Vera, Rhian Ramos, and Iza Calzado were among the many celebrities at the press conference party for You magazine, which had it's launching yesterday at Warehouse 125 in Makati.

Alex Gonzaga TV5 Juicy

Alex Gonzaga rules. That's all I have to say about the petite host of TV5's Juicy. Alex is so funny, and she's a great host. She has a lot of charisma, and she's like a natural comedienne. She just pops 'em out at the most unexpected times. I also like that Juicy is taking a fun approach to showbiz gossip and intriga, it's such a fresh perspective to the usual gossip show that likes to overdramatize things. And I like that TV5 is the neutral TV network where talents from both of the other networks are featured. And Alex is the perfect host, hopefully TV5 keeps this show on, because it's one of their prize jewels, and it's so fun to watch.

Joross Gamboa Philippines' Scariest Challenge

Joross Gamboa was on Philippines' Scariest Challenge today on TV5. Of course, those two other guys from Pinoy Big Brother were there, what were their names?

Rosanna Roces was on TV5's Juicy this noon to talk about her upcoming movie 'Manila' with Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby, as well as 'Jaguar' and 'Aurora', 2 more feature films starring the still babelicious sexy actress who by the way was always one of my favorites for kikay personality and kick-a attitude about flaunting what you've got. She also talked about her daughter Grace who's about to give birth.

Gretchen Barretto: U And Me Against The World

Gretchen Barretto is reportedly all set to host TV5's newest game show titled U And Me Against The World, scheduled to be shown in November.

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) received information from a reliable source that controversial actress Gretchen Barretto is slated to host a game show at TV5 to be launched this November.

The show will reportedly carry the title U And Me Against The World. Our source described the show as a "fab game show with fab prizes."

Gretchen's credentials when in comes to hosting is limited. Although she used to be part of the long-defunct noontime variety show GMA Supershow during her younger years and for a time graced ABS-CBN's showbiz talk show The Buzz as temporary co-host.

This bit of news confirmed the assumption raised by some people when Tonyboy Cojuangco—Gretchen's longtime partner and father of her daughter Dominique—acquired the network way back in 2003. Some casual observers took note that it would only be a matter of time before Gretchen finds herself with a show of her own. The upcoming game show is also a strong indication that all's well between Gretchen and Tonyboy.

Despite opting to appear sporadically on screen over the past couple of years, 2008 can be considered as a relatively busy year for Gretchen. Last July 19, Gretchen made her television comeback via ABS-CBN's longest running drama anthology, Maalaala Mo Kaya.

February of this year also marked the release of Gretchen's debut album titled Unexpected under Star Records. La Greta recently announced that her second album is currently in the works with January 2009 as its possible release date.

Irish Fullerton PDA Scandal

Ako Si Kim Samsoon had its final episode last night with the much-awaited wedding of Samsoon (Regine Velasquez) and Cyrus (Mark Anthony Fernandez).

Toni Gonzaga says that her friendship with Vhong Navarro has been "proven and tested" through the years. The two are paired together in the Star Cinema movie My Only U, which will open on October 29.

Irish Fullerton: "Hindi ko alam how they did it, pero, alam ko sa sarili ko, hindi ako yun. Kung photoshopped man yun, I don't remember any instance na nag-pose ako ng ganoon. Kasi, kung ako naman yun, bakit hindi ko aaminin? Kung nakunan ako ng ganoon, I won't really mind if it's really me. But, it's not me," says Irish Fullerton of the photos that came out in a tabloid. Right: one of the alleged pre-PDA Irish Fullerton photos.

Jomari Yllana happily announced that his relationship with girlfriend, Pops Fernandez, is back on the right track following a recent row. "Siguro kasi miscommunication, misunderstanding, hindi nagkaintindihan, so, naplantsa naman namin. Nabigyan naman namin ng linaw," said Jomari.

Dennis and Heart: "Mas lalo ko siyang nakilala, so, mas lalo ko siyang hinangaan dahil masaya siyang katrabaho," raves Dennis Trillo about Heart Evangelista.

TV5's Hush Hush

Bruno Folster, from Brazil, cites the Philippines' "character" which makes him feel at home and connected with the country and its people. "I feel very much at home here. And there is so much to see in this country. Would you believe that I don't get bothered by the traffic here? It's one of the reasons why I stay because there's so much character in this country." Bruno is one of the cast members of TV5's Hush Hush.
