Kris Aquino reacts to sis love advice
MANILA, Philippines- It seems like actress-host Kris Aquino is not heeding the love advice of her eldest sister, Ballsy Aquino-Cruz.
Ballsy recently gave Kris an advice to focus her attention on her 2 sons, Joshua and baby James, instead of her love life.
"You can't have everything in this world. Kung suwerte ka sa career, or suwerte ka sa mga anak mo, tanggapin mo na lang. Huwag mo nang ipinagpipilitan 'yong mahirap, di ba?" Ballsy suggested.
When asked to comment, Kris told "Showbiz News Ngayon" that she is not closing her doors to the possibility of falling in love again.
"Sinabi niya please huwag na lang akong ikasal, mag-boyfriend na lang ako... Susundin ko ang korte ng Makati, pag sinabi ng korte and ng judge na libre na ko, why not (fall in love)?" Kris said.
The Queen of All Media has filed a petition seeking to nullify her marriage to cager James Yap. A Makati court is still hearing the case.
The actress-host's love life has always been a hot topic in and out of show business, especially after she separated from Yap.
Recently, the actress-host was linked to various men, including Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin "Junjun" Binay Jr. and Sen. Francis "Chiz" Escudero.
Kris, youngest sister of President Benigno Aquino III, has repeatedly denied romantic involvement with any man.
Prior to her marriage, Kris also got involved in 2 controversial romantic relationships with Phillip Salvador and Joey Marquez.
The father of Kris's eldest son, Joshua, is Salvador.
Dalaw
Despite being long-time friends, Kris, meantime, revealed that she and Diether Ocampo are working uncomfortably on the movie set of their upcoming horror film, "Dalaw."
"Dalaw" is Ocampo and Kris's first project together and they are playing husband and wife. The horror flick is one of the entries to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival that will be held in December.
In the same interview, Kris divulged that there have been awkward moments between her and Ocampo while shooting some scenes of the film.
"Naiilang pa siya siyempre kasi mag-asawa kami. And although we've known each other forever, we never worked together. Ito 'yong first time and I'm sure naiilang siyang kausapin ako kasi feeling niya machi-chismis lang siya sa akin," said Kris.
When sought for reaction, Ocampo said: "Mahirap na kasi. Lumalagay lang ako sa tamang posisyon. Eventually, baka mag-iba na 'yong timpla.

Kris-Diet kissing scene, goes take 5!
NAALIW kami sa tweet ni Kris Aquino kung saan ay sinabi niyang 15 hours daw kinunan ang wedding scene nila ni Diether Ocampo sa pelikulang Dalaw, pero three minutes lang pala ito mapapanood sa movie.
"Here now in Brent for Bimby's PTC. We shot the Dalaw wedding scene for 15 hours! Please appreciate the 3 minutes u'll see it on screen!" parte ng tweet ni Kris sa kanyang Twitter account kahapon.
Ang Dalaw ay horror film na entry ng Star Cinema at Cine Media sa Metro Manila Film Festival sa Disyembre na idinidirehe ni Dondon Santos. Tinanggap daw ng aktres ang naturang pelikula dahil sa ganda ng kuwento nito.
Sa TV naman, baka by next year na ipalabas ang Deal or No Deal ng aktres-TV host at tamang-tama naman dahil makakapag-concentrate siya sa Dalaw.
Sa nasabing wedding scene, kasama nang nakunan ang kissing scene nila ni Diet na balitang naka-take five at ayon kay Kris, kung noon ay hesitant siya sa paggawa ng kissing scene (obviously because of James Yap), ngayon ay puwede na.
"Sinabi ko rin kay Diet na it's much easier to fulfill your duties as an actress and be true to the character if you're not in a relationship. Kasi, wala kang iniilagan. Wala kang kinakatakutan na 'naku, baka mag-away kami pag-uwi ko, baka ganyan. ' So, nagagawa mo talaga kung ano ang required sa role," sabi ni Kris in a TV interview.

Kris Aquino now ready to do kissing scenes
MANILA, Philippines - Queen of All Media Kris Aquino is now comfortable doing kissing scenes.
The television host-actress noted that it is easier for an actress to fulfill her job if she is not in a relationship.
She explained that there's no more reason to worry about someone else's feelings if she is unattached.
"Napag-usapan namin iyon ni Diet na sabi ko it's much easier to fulfill your duties as an actress and be true to the character if you're not in a relationship. Kasi wala kang iniilagan. Wala kang kinatatakutan na, 'Naku baka mag-away kami pag-uwi ko, baka ganyan.' So nagagawa mo talaga kung ano iyong required sa role," Aquino said, referring to her "Dalaw" leading man Diether Ocampo.
In their first horror flick together, Aquino revealed on Twitter that she and Ocampo had a kissing scene.
It would be recalled that Aquino refused to do kissing scenes in her previous films for the sake of her marriage. She already filed a petition to nullify her 5-year marriage to James Yap.
"If you really want to act, kailangan 'yong ka-relationship mo is either in the business whether an actor or a director. Hindi ba? 'Yong ganoon. Para maintindihan na trabaho nga ito," she stated.
Yap is a professional basketball player.
Meanwhile, Aquino divulged that she is doing all her best to make "Dalaw" a high quality movie. She also confessed there is an added pressure because her 2 previous horror movies, "Feng Shui" and "Sukob," did well at the box office.
"Nakakanerbyos kasi kung tutuusin, in 2 months MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival) na. It's a big privileged to be a part of that. Excited po kaming lahat, may lalim talaga 'yong kwento. At the heart of it all, kwento pa rin tungkol sa pamilya at kung ano ang handa mong ibigay para sa taong minamahal mo at kung paano mo kailangan pagbayaran ang mga naging kasalanan mo," the actress shared. -Showbiz News Ngayon

Kris Aquino, Dingdong Dantes to do movie for GMA Films
Kapamilya star Kris Aquino excitedly revealed on Wednesday, October 20, that she has been given the go-signal to star in a movie to be produced by GMA Films, where she would be paired with Kapuso actor Dingdong Dantes.
Kris made the announcement at the press launch of Goldilocks at Edsa Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City on Wednesday, October 20.
"That's a movie I'm really looking forward to doing," said the TV host and actress. "It's something that's been talked about on the campaign trail. That's why I was able to get permission, I said na this is the only opportunity I'll have to work with Dong."
Kris said the details of the movie, which will be shot in the first and second quarter of 2011, have not been finalized yet. She said Ms. Annette Gozon-Abrogar, president of GMA Films, does not want to proceed until Kris hands over the release form from ABS-CBN, where she has an exclusive contract.
"Deo [Endrinal, Kris's manager] said magmi-meeting tayo pag maaabot ko kay Annette para hindi tayo mapahiya. I was promised that next week I will have that. So after that kami magmi-meet, because I think for the movie to work, it has to really suit his personality and mine," she said.
But Kris divulged that Gozon-Abrogar had already sent her a story idea, which she promptly rejected.
Kris narrated, "Natatawa ako 'cause Annette sent me an email of a story concept, and I said no. Kasi doon ako yung masama sa napakabait kong asawa at pinakulam ko yung asawa ko. I really said, 'Annette? Are you really serious about this project?'
"I was working in an S&R, ako yung manager nun. You were desperate to have a child, so pinakulam ko siya, pinakasalan niya 'ko. Nakakaloka! Siyempre nagseselos ako, so pinakulam ko rin the other women. At the end, bumalik sa akin lahat ng kulam, times five!
"Sabi ko, 'Annette, are you serious about this? No! Annette, you know naman the audience. Gagawin ko lang 'yan kung mabait ako."
A newer and more positive story idea is in the works, however, and Kris said she likes it.
"But I guess they have to like it, too," Kris said, referring to Dingdong.
DINGDONG SPEAKS. At the same event, Dingdong expressed excitement over the upcoming film project.
"I think that would be very exciting," he said. "Siguro, aside from the fact na isa ako talaga sa mga masugid na nanonood ng mga horror films niya dati, like siyempre yung the very famous Feng Shui, e, I know that siyempre, something better will emerge."
Dingdong, however, does not want to get his hopes up this early.
"Sabi naman niya, hangga't walang kasiguraduhan, sabi pa lang niya na magkakaroon pa lang sila ng parang pirmahan next. So, hangga't wala pa, siyempre ayoko namang umasa pa sa ganun," he said.
Dingdong confirmed that the idea blossomed when he helped Kris campaign for her brother Pres. Noynoy Aquino.
"There were talks before na yung possibility of us having a movie together," he said. "And then siguro, magmula noon, nagbunga siya dahil nagkaroon ng talks between yung GMA Films and her camp, so kaya nangyari siguro yun."
Is Dingdong open to a story idea where he will play the villain to Kris Aquino?
"Alam mo, that would be very challenging for me. Di lang siguro, baka yun ang first time kong gumanap ng isang dark character after a very long time," he replied.

Bimby: I don't like Dingdong
May bago na naman palang kontrobersiyang hinaharap ang anak ni Kris Aquino na si Baby James.
Sa presscon daw kasi ng TV host-actress for Goldilocks last Wednesday, naringgan ang bagets ng mga salitang "I don't like Dingdong (Dantes). "
Si Dingdong ay family friend ng mga Aquino at hindi biro ang tulong na nagawa ng aktor para kay President Noynoy during the elections.
Bukod dito, siya ang makakasama ni Kris sa pelikulang gagawin ng aktres sa GMA Films.
Kaya, for Bimby to say that, nakakaloka and at the same time, matatawa ka na lang dahil nga bata, eh.
To the rescue naman siyempre si Kris sa anak na kaagad na nagpaliwanag sa Twitter account kung bakit nasabi 'yun ng bunso.
"I would just like to explain y (why) bimby said I don't like dingdong yesterday at our goldilocks event regardless of my saying but he's Tito Noy's friend. Bimby said because u're my mom.
"Sa presscon I had made kwento that in original GMA films concept I was married to Dong & pregnant. "I was desperate to have a baby so resorted to black magic & kulam. I became possessive and the other women na pinagselosan ko started dropping dead.
"Bimby heard the pregnant & other baby part, hence the 'I don't lilke dingdong' comment because he felt magkaka-new baby," pagkaklaro ni Kris sa kanyang Twitter account.
Talaga itong si Baby James, nakaw-eksena sa kanyang ina! Komento tuloy ng lahat, manang-mana raw ang bagets sa ina, very frank and vocal sa kanyang nararamdaman.

Kris Aquino is back to work after her hospital confinement for foot and mouth disease with sons Josh and Baby James for more than a week. The boys have gone back to school and Kris, while waiting for her new game show to start on ABS, is now shooting her horror entry for the Metro filmfest with Diether Ocampo, "Dalaw. "Her first two horror flicks, "Feng Shui" and "Sukob," both directed by Chito Roño, are big hits, so she's confident that "Dalaw" will also be a blockbuster, even if she has a different director, Dondon Santos. What can she say about ex-hubby James Yap being linked to Isabel Oli? "I've seen her commercials and she's very pretty. I praise God kasi the quicker he moves on at may magustuhan siya, hindi na niya pahihirapan ang annulment case so we'll both be free and happy," she says.
To which James quipped: "Hindi ko naman pinahihirapan 'yung case. Nasa court na 'yun. Sila na magdi-decide. "
ANNABELLE: MALALAOS ULI SI HEART
ANNABELLE Rama is celebrating her birthday on October 31 with a fashion-variety show, "Spotlight," featuring all her talents under Royale Artists Management at Crowne Plaza Hotel, October 28, 8 p. m. , directed by Robbie Carmona.
At its presscon, we noticed that the invitation had Heart Evangelista's name on it but this was erased with a pentel pen. The reason for this was revealed when Annabelle was asked who among her wards is her favorite.
"Si JC De Vera kasi very professional siya. Never ako binigyan ng sakit ng ulo. Kahit ano ipagawa mo, wala siyang reklamo. Nakikinig talaga sa manager at di umiistambay kunsaan-saan na kasama ng mga pokpok kaya umaasenso ang buhay niya. May bago siyang bahay, tatlo ang kotse niya. Pero 'yung alaga kong ingrata, kakarmahin 'yan. Walang utang na loob. Nang mapunta siya sa 'kin three years na siyang laos. Wala siyang project. Ang nakuha kong contract for her sa GMA, never niyang natikman sa kabilang istasyon, wala ni ¼ noon. Ipinareha ko siya sa anak ko (Richard Gutierrez) at bumongga uli ang career niya. Akala ko, maa-appreciate niya 'yun. Nu'ng makita ng nanay niya how much she's earning, nanghinayang sa komisyong binibigay sa 'kin. Siya na lang daw ang magma-manage sa anak at sayang ang pera. 'Yang talent na 'yan na nagwalanghiya sa 'kin, sinusumpa ko, malalaos siya uli. "
Annabelle says she'll just concentrate on talent management from now on. "Ayoko nang magbenta ng alahas. Lagi akong nasu-swindle. Now, I have 29 talents, ang pinakabago sina Jon Hall, Danita Paner, Paolo Paraiso, Jinkee Pacquiao, and Pops Fernandez. Mukha akong pera, kaya as a manager, talagang inihahanap ko ng trabaho ang talents ko para kumita rin ako. Sa 'Spotlight,' maglalabas din ako ng glossy magazine showing all my talents, edited by my son Raymond, na ipapamigay ko sa lahat ng ad agencies para kunin nila mga alaga ko for endorsements. Special guest singers sa 'Spotlight' sina Ogie Alcasid, Lovi Poe, Anthony Castelo and Malu Barry. "
KRISTA, SUNSHINE BOTH PREGGY
KRISTA Ranillo is due to deliver her first baby in April 2011. She and husband Jefferson Lim a. k. a. Niño also have their birthdays in April, Krista on April 27 and Niño on April 25. The ultrasound test showed that they will have a boy. They were married twice, first in a civil ceremony on July 14, then in an ecumenical wedding on August 8 at a hotel in Long Beach, California. They plan to have a bigger wedding in Manila next year. This is Niño's second marriage. The first one ended in divorce and he has three kids aged 11, 8 and 5 with his first wife. His family owns the Island Pacific chain of supermarkets with nine branches all over California.
Also confirmed to be officially infanticipating is GMA's Bakekang herself, Sunshine Dizon, who married Timothy Yap on March 20. In May, she thought she's pregnant but it turned out to be false alarm. This time, it's for real and she was confirmed to be preggy in July. She stays in Angeles, Pampanga with her hubby whose family is based there. Like Krista's husband, this is not Timothy's first child as he also has a love child with a non-showbiz girl. Those who've seen Sunshine says she has gained so much weight. She has always had a battle with the bulge but this time, she doesn't care if she got fat as long as her baby is safe. They don't know yet what the gender of their baby is. "Maybe sa next ultrasound test ko, makita na," she says.
DIREK JOEY DEFENDS GERALD
IS Gerald Anderson's breakdown at the presscon of "Till My Heartaches End" planned to help promote his film with Kim Chiu? "I don't think so," says their director, Joey Reyes. "First time it happened that an actor of mine broke down at a presscon and it was an unnerving experience for me. Gerald was honest and sincere in his feelings at ako na ang unang magsasabing it's no gimmick. "
Despite his busy sked, Gerald is busy promoting Dermablend soaps with Sam Milby and Daiana Menezes that will have a mall tour, The Grand SkINvasion at SM Fairview Annex Atrium, tomorrow, Sunday, from 5 to 8 p. m. This campaign of Swisse-Phil Holdings Corporation (formerly Stalder Group of Companies) is aimed to help improve Filipino skincare habits and lifestyle. One of the biggest local manufacturers of various whitening products since 1986, it's Filipino owned, with world class products tailor made for Filipinos who want to use soaps that can lighten their skin in a natural and healthier way.
'PLEASE BE HAPPY FOR US'
DID Jennylyn Mercado forbid Patrick Garcia to be part of her new soap, "Little Star," that starts this Monday? "No, hindi ko siya pinagbawalan at all," she says. "But we talked about it and we agreed na mas mabuting hindi kami sabay magtrabaho para kung busy ako, I can leave our son Jazz with him kasi siya ngayon ang hatid-sundo sa bata sa school. "
How about her refusal to use Patrick's surname for Jazz? "Alam nyo, it's not an issue at all with us. Ni hindi namin napag-uusapan 'yan, kaya wag nyo nang gawaan ng issue. Basta as of now, masaya kaming maayos na ang lahat with his family, my family. Maging masaya na rin sana kayo for us. "
She's happy to be directed by Maryo de los Reyes in "Little Star" where she plays a simple lass who takes care of a baby boy that she finds during a shipwreck at sea. It turns out the boy is the love son of a big movie star, Lovi Poe, who later tries to take the boy away from Jen. The show introduces a talented new child singer-actor, Nikki Castro, 6, whose real name is Arthur Nixon Castro. Hopefully, he will be as popular as Jillian Ward who really gained fame as Trudis Liit and will make "Little Star" a toprater in GMA's Haponalo (former Dramarama sa Hapon. )

KRISTA, SUNSHINE BOTH PREGGY
KRISTA Ranillo is due to deliver her first baby in April 2011. She and husband Jefferson Lim a. k. a. Niño also have their birthdays in April, Krista on April 27 and Niño on April 25. The ultrasound test showed that they will have a boy. They were married twice, first in a civil ceremony on July 14, then in an ecumenical wedding on August 8 at a hotel in Long Beach, California. They plan to have a bigger wedding in Manila next year. This is Niño's second marriage. The first one ended in divorce and he has three kids aged 11, 8 and 5 with his first wife. His family owns the Island Pacific chain of supermarkets with nine branches all over California.
Also confirmed to be officially infanticipating is GMA's Bakekang herself, Sunshine Dizon, who married Timothy Yap on March 20. In May, she thought she's pregnant but it turned out to be false alarm. This time, it's for real and she was confirmed to be preggy in July. She stays in Angeles, Pampanga with her hubby whose family is based there. Like Krista's husband, this is not Timothy's first child as he also has a love child with a non-showbiz girl. Those who've seen Sunshine says she has gained so much weight. She has always had a battle with the bulge but this time, she doesn't care if she got fat as long as her baby is safe. They don't know yet what the gender of their baby is. "Maybe sa next ultrasound test ko, makita na," she says.
DIREK JOEY DEFENDS GERALD
IS Gerald Anderson's breakdown at the presscon of "Till My Heartaches End" planned to help promote his film with Kim Chiu? "I don't think so," says their director, Joey Reyes. "First time it happened that an actor of mine broke down at a presscon and it was an unnerving experience for me. Gerald was honest and sincere in his feelings at ako na ang unang magsasabing it's no gimmick. "
Despite his busy sked, Gerald is busy promoting Dermablend soaps with Sam Milby and Daiana Menezes that will have a mall tour, The Grand SkINvasion at SM Fairview Annex Atrium, tomorrow, Sunday, from 5 to 8 p. m. This campaign of Swisse-Phil Holdings Corporation (formerly Stalder Group of Companies) is aimed to help improve Filipino skincare habits and lifestyle. One of the biggest local manufacturers of various whitening products since 1986, it's Filipino owned, with world class products tailor made for Filipinos who want to use soaps that can lighten their skin in a natural and healthier way.
'PLEASE BE HAPPY FOR US'
DID Jennylyn Mercado forbid Patrick Garcia to be part of her new soap, "Little Star," that starts this Monday? "No, hindi ko siya pinagbawalan at all," she says. "But we talked about it and we agreed na mas mabuting hindi kami sabay magtrabaho para kung busy ako, I can leave our son Jazz with him kasi siya ngayon ang hatid-sundo sa bata sa school. "
How about her refusal to use Patrick's surname for Jazz? "Alam nyo, it's not an issue at all with us. Ni hindi namin napag-uusapan 'yan, kaya wag nyo nang gawaan ng issue. Basta as of now, masaya kaming maayos na ang lahat with his family, my family. Maging masaya na rin sana kayo for us. "
She's happy to be directed by Maryo de los Reyes in "Little Star" where she plays a simple lass who takes care of a baby boy that she finds during a shipwreck at sea. It turns out the boy is the love son of a big movie star, Lovi Poe, who later tries to take the boy away from Jen. The show introduces a talented new child singer-actor, Nikki Castro, 6, whose real name is Arthur Nixon Castro. Hopefully, he will be as popular as Jillian Ward who really gained fame as Trudis Liit and will make "Little Star" a toprater in GMA's Haponalo (former Dramarama sa Hapon. )

Kris Aquino, 2 sons leave home
MANILA, Philippines—Showbiz celebrity Kris Aquino has left the home she shares with husband, basketball star James Yap, shortly after the news of her quarrel with another girl over Yap was reported in the papers last week.
Aquino has brought her two sons, Joshua and James Jr., with her to live in the home of her sister Pinky, she said in an interview on the showbiz talk show "The Buzz" on Sunday.
"I need space for myself. Bugbog na bugbog na ako (I’m beat up already). James and I need to fix ourselves in order for us to be OK together," said the movie actress and TV host.
Aquino denied confronting and shouting insults at Mayen Austria, an alleged female fan of Yap's. This reportedly happened on January 20 at the gate of the Austria residence at Valle Verde 2 subdivision in Pasig City.
Aquino added that she left their Valle Verde home also out of fear for her children's safety. "[The Austrias and I] live in the same village. I'm always away working, baka ang mga anak ko naman ang balikan (my children might be the next targets)," she pointed out.
Aquino, however, admitted that she and Yap have already been having marital problems since December and that Yap left their home shortly after Christmas. "'Di ko s'ya ginulo (I did not bother him). He needed time to think," she said.
Aquino earlier said she and Yap had a misunderstanding because of her busy work schedule and lack of time for the family. "[When he came back], I thought everything was OK. We tried to live under one roof, pero sumbatan ng sumbatan. Nakakapagod na," she said. She is also a host of the showbiz magazine show "SNN" and a cast member of the newest drama series "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo" on ABS-CBN Channel 2.
Aquino said she almost gave up on her marriage in 2007, when Yap was reported to have had romantic liaisons with Hope Centeno, then a receptionist at the Belo Medical Clinic, which Aquino used to endorse.
"It can't always be my family that's telling me to save the marriage. It has to come from him, too," she said. "I've tried. God knows, I've tried. In all fairness to James he has also tried, but in my opinion, maybe not hard enough."
Aquino said she is still hoping to salvage the marriage. "I'm not saying that the marriage is over. In my heart I still want it to work because Baby James deserves a mother and a father, but doesn't deserve this mess," Aquino stressed. "I don't question the fact that he is really good to Josh and has loved Josh as his own. He is very loving toward Baby James." Joshua is Aquino's son with actor Phillip Salvador.
Aquino added: "He knows I still love him. In all this time, I never gave him any reason to doubt my fidelity. I just want the same thing in return."
