Since celebrities have everything money can buy, I thought of coming up with a Christmas list of symbolic gifts for some stars. Allow me to call it “Christ-Must (haves)”—all in the spirit of Yuletide fun:
Vilmas Santos
VILMA SANTOS: “Staying Power” generator to keep her on top of her game.
Cesar Montano
CESAR MONTANO: He deserves a made-to-order Ms. Right.
Alice Dixson
ALICE DIXSON: A dispensing machine of her “fountain of youth” for women who want to age gracefully like her.
Ogie Alcasid
OGIE ALCASID: A clone. The biz would be a better place if there were more kind-hearted people like him.
Dingdong Dantes
DINGDONG DANTES: Slow-motion effects, so his baby Z won’t grow up too fast.
PIOLO PASCUAL: A “Papa P” mold for guys who want to have killer abs like him.
EDU MANZANO: “Wife material” detector.
Maine Mendoza and Alden Richards
ALDUB: The power to be invisible, so they can enjoy their hard-earned money without being mobbed wherever they go.
ANNE CURTIS: A “happy pill” derived from her joie de vivre, for people who need a dose of good vibes.
JADINE: A Love Insurance Plan for an assurance of a “happy ever after.”
Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla
KATHNIEL: An anti-intrigue vaccine.
Sarah Geronimo
SARAH GERONIMO: One-way ticket to “Forever,” with Matteo Guidicelli.
Vic vs Vice vs Eugene
The Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) gave “Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers” a grade of B. Its hip effects give the movie its millennial vibe. Indeed, there’s more to love about “Enteng” in its upgraded edition.
For its part, “The Super Parental Guardians” has the right ingredients, but the wrong recipe. We’ve seen better Vice Ganda movies. It’s about time Vice and his team refill their reservoir of creative juices.
Meanwhile, “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 2” merited a grade of A. As always, Eugene Domingo does not disappoint. Uge and the rest of the cast, especially Joel Torre, endear themselves to the audience without much effort. This charming sequel to the multi-awarded film franchise ought to have a third installment.
Karel now Mrs. Sean Fariñas
My son IC is raving about the fab wedding reception (at Marriott Hotel) of Karel Marquez, who’s now Mrs. Sean Fari ñas. Everyone got misty-eyed while listening to the touching messages of the couple’s loved ones.
The bride’s duet with her mom, Pinky Marquez, astounded the guests. Karel’s gift to her hubby is the latest model of BMW, which could very well stand for Be My World.
