Actress Jennylyn Mercado on portraying an offbeat role in “The Bride and the Lover”: “Adjusting to it was very difficult. I usually portray poor girls. In this film I am rich, classy and vain. It was tedious to dress up, wear red lipstick and curl my hair. In real life, I’m not pa-sosyal.” Marinel R. [...]
“They don’t always see each other, but when they do, Jazz is more than happy to be with Luis,” said actress Jennylyn Mercado when asked to describe the relationship between her 4-year-old son Alex Jazz and her boyfriend, actor-TV host Luis Manzano.
The Filipino romantic fool in every one of us still has a Valentine weekend hangover. While love is still in the air, I’ll let you in on how some celebrity couples spent V-Day.
Jennylyn Mercado glowed as she gamely answered every question we had for her when we finally met her recently. She admits, “I’ve changed a lot, and my working relationship with people is much better now. Suplada ako dati—and it was hard for me to keep a lid on it, because I was young and immature. But, we learn from our mistakes.”
I spent my happiest and craziest days in Iloilo many love stories ago, so it was a delight to join GMA 7 for Dinagyang 2013 in the so-called “City of Love.” It was a solid laugh trip/food trip with Kapuso network’s Butch Raquel and Rica Torres, and cool colleagues Rito Asilo, Dindo Balares and Bibsy Carballo.
“I’ve learned how important loyalty is,” Jennylyn Mercado said of her nine-year stint as a Kapuso artist. The actress-TV host signed another three-year guaranteed contract with GMA 7 on Jan. 30. “My GMA 7 bosses took care of me and supported me during my lowest moments,” Jennylyn explained as to why she has [...]
As they say: Lucky with money; unlucky in love. Although Sexy Starlet scored big in business ventures, she struck out in the romance department.
Pretty Starlet, product of a reality search, caused a bit of a commotion in a watering hole recently. The reason? A bartender had refused to serve her a heady cocktail. That’s because PS is a minor; the server was only playing it safe. PS had earlier raised a ruckus at another party and was already [...]
Jennylyn Mercado may have been convincing as the femme fatale of the convoluted biopic, “Rosario,” but we’ve always found her too phlegmatic in the TV dramas she appears in. “Starstruck’s” first big winner (along with Mark Herras) is no pushover as a singer, however—as she demonstrates in her latest album, “Forever By Your Side.”
Cute Heartthrob was tireless in wooing Pretty Starlet. CH even escorted PS abroad, mistakenly thinking he could win the girl’s heart. But Handsome Hunk entered frame. HH was paired with PS in a project and CH was left out in the cold. CH admitted that this had spooked him. After all, HH has a [...]
Sexy Starlet is no longer active in local show biz. However, she bagged a major project recently.
Joey Paras doesn’t feel typecast as the gay best buddy on TV and film. “I get to play different kinds of gays on TV,” he said. Indeed, in a string of GMA 7 shows, he played all sorts of colorful characters—from a drag queen (“I Heart You Pare”) to a magic mirror (“The Last Prince”). [...]
