Mo Twister and Rhian Ramos Twitwar

Rhian Ramos and Mo Twister's mysterious "relationship" has gone from sweet to sour.

Just as we thought everything seems to be working fine between the two, the usually private "couple" suddenly chose to go public, but this time with their not-so-sweet tirades against each other.

In their recent Twitter war on Tuesday, May 3 which netizens now dub as a "lover's quarrel," Rhian became obviously irritated when someone allegedly broke into her Twitter account to publicize her personal life.

"well thank you for breaking into my twitter. nice job. i hope you get all the sympathy you hoped for," Rhian tweeted.

"and to the rest of you, mind your business, i've been harassed enough for today, thank you. as if would really publicize my personal life? as if i'm the one that is known to want to be a part of every scandal? thanks," Rhian further tweeted.

"and anong "break-up tweet- break-up tweet" ang sinasabi niyo. didn't he say i wasn't his girlfriend?," she added.

In response, Mo tweeted back, "You told me it's your job to be single and desired, but what about the hearts you break along the way?"

Mo continued with "wow! are you implying now it's me who did it? what else do you want to throw at me today? i'm just reacting to your tweet and now job is whats the link? i wasn't the one who did everything for the job."

"there are a few people i wont fight here on twitter & one of them is you. i think ive been thrashed and lied enough to today. im done here & i wont argue w/ you. i hope your thailand trip last holy week went well," Mo added.

Mo posted a few more meaningful tweets.

"i would never wish upon any of you the sacrifice ive had to make. and even after it, its mocked by those who benefited from it."

"and it will come. the ghosts of those lost will find a way. all the lies and deceit isn't enough of a shield"

Meanwhile Rhian's last tweet includes a link to a YouTube video showing what seems to be a small piglet.

"here. magpaka good vibes tayong lahat," she said.

Based from their tweets the couple who just recently admitted that they are exclusively dating are now officially fighting.

AJ’s final curtain call trends on Twitter

The family and supporters of late actor AJ Perez tuned in to ABS-CBN's "Maalaala Mo Kaya" (MMK) on Saturday, April 30, for the actor's final performance before the fatal accident last April 17.

AJ Perez portrayed the role of a homeless boy who travelled from Manila to Samar with his younger brother (Bugoy Carino,) in search of their relatives. This episode entitled "Tsinelas," shows the story of love and bond between brothers and their determination to carry on with their life's journey together.

As this is AJ's final performance as an actor, many people watched the show and made this particular MMK episode trend worldwide on Twitter on Saturday night with the hashtag #ajperezmmk. On Twitter trends, it said that AJ has a show airing in MMK and Filipinos show their love by making #ajperezmmk a trending topic.

AJ's family, who now manages AJ's Twitter account, tweeted and encouraged everyone to watch the MMK episode and thanked those who watched afterwards. Before AJ's death, he had been tweeting and promoting his MMK performance on Twitter. On April 12, AJ tweeted "My MMK episode will air on April 30. Don't miss it!" AJ was proud of his MMK performance that he tweeted many times about MMK, whether about what he was doing on taping or a promotion of the show.

Many people were touched watching the episode, not only because of AJ's heart-wrenching and effective portrayal as a homeless teenager, but also due to AJ's sudden death, which stopped him from soaring as a versatile actor.

In April 17, MMK's writer Benson Logronio tweeted, "AJ Perez breathed life to 1 of the 2 main characters of the latest ep I wrote for MMK. It's his curtain call on April 30. He'll make us cry." Fans and people from the TV industry tweeted about AJ's MMK episode. Comedian actress Pokwang also tweeted about AJ's MMK, "Doble ang luha ko kagabi sa MMK,una sa ganda ng kwento at pagkakaganap, pangalawa hinayang sa pausbong palang na husay at talento ni AJ :( ." Steph Ayson, AJ's girlfriend, also tweeted and promoted AJ's final performance. "You're still very much alive to me. I hope you can feel how proud I am of you up there in heaven. @ajperez17 #ajperezmmk."

The "Tsinelas" episode written by Benson Logronio and directed by Dado Lumibao marks AJ's final show as an actor.

Procter & Gamble suspends ad placement on Wilinng Willie show

Procter & Gamble Philippines has suspended its advertising placements in the TV5 variety show "Willing Willie" after a storm of public opinion chastised the network and its host Willie Revillame for committing what has been called child abuse in its March 12 episode.

In that episode, Revillame taunted and goaded a six-year-old boy into performing a sexually suggestive dance. While the audience laughed, the boy was tearful through the performance.

P&G Philippines released a statement through Anama Dimapilis of P&G's Corporate Communications, Brand Public Relations department. It read: "Procter & Gamble strives to advertise on programs that align with our values as a company and our purpose to touch and improve lives. We routinely monitor the media in which our brands' messages appear and make advertising decisions that meet our policies and achieve our goals. We are aware of the recent incident in the program of 'Willing Willie' and we have suspended advertising on the show beginning April 7, 2011, while the incident is being reviewed and investigated by authorities."

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) is expected to decide today on the fate of "Willing Willie." MTRCB Chairperson Grace Poe-Llamanzares said that suspension is one option they are considering.

Earlier, Jollibee Food Corporation withdrew its ad placement of one of its food chains,Mang Inasal.

Willing Willie on suspension?

(UPDATE) The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) is expected to rule on Thursday, April 7, on the controversy over the March 12 episode of  TV5's early evening variety show "Willing Willie" where host Willie Revillame goaded a tearful six-year old boy, Jan-Jan Suan, into doing a sexually suggestive dance while the audience laughed at him.

But if for some reasons they would have to delay the ruling, MTRCB Chair Grace Poe-Llamanzares said, "There are talks of a preventive suspension. That's one option."

Another MTRCB official, who asked not to be named because he was not the authorized spokesperson, said, "There's no question about the suspension. What is being discussed is for how long."

The source said they are discussing a suspension that could range from a minimum of one week to a maximum of one month.

Llamanzares said some may question the need for a preventive suspension when TV5 has already introduced regulatory measures in the show.  But she said some members of the Board believe that TV5  has to be penalized for the March 12 episode which Social Services Secretary Dinky Soliman and Human Rights Commission Chair Loretta Rosales said was a violation of  the law against child abuse (Republic Act No. 7610).

The unnamed MTRCB official said, "The suspension would be a message that the Board won't tolerate shows that denigrate human dignity especially when it involves children."

"Willing Willie" is a co-production venture between host Revillame and TV5.

The MTRCB source noted that TV5's statement of apology referred to the March 12 show "which viewers may have found offensive or in bad taste."

"They (network officials), themselves, didn't find it offensive," he said.

MTRCB's Hearing and Adjudication Committee started the preliminary conference Monday. The process entailed getting the side of TV5, the statements from the Department of Social Welfare and Development and Commission on Human Rights, and inputs from psychologist Honey Carandang.

TV5's  Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Robert V. Barreiro reported to the Committee the regulatory measures the network has undertaken, including imposing stricter guidelines on the appearance and performance of minors, particularly, children on all TV5 programs; requiring that all auditions of TV5 programs be supervised by representatives designated by the TV5 Ombudsman; appointing an internal Ombudsman to entertain complaints regarding offensive programs; imposing a moratorium on contests and game shows involving minors; creating a Standards Advisory Board to be composed, among others, of a psychologist, a creative director, and a children's communications expert; and engaging the services of a team of psychologists to attend to Jan-Jan's needs.

In a statement to Yahoo! OMG! Philippines, TV5 said:

"We are taking positive action, not only to prevent the occurrence of any similar incident, but to uplift our standards especially with respect to children and minors.  With the steps we are taking, we hope to be the least frequent visitor to the MTRCB among the major networks."

There is an active campaign in Facebook to boycott advertisers of "Willing Willie." Jollibee's Mang Inasal has suspended its ad placement in the show.

Meanwhile, Llamzares previously told GMA News TV's "News To Go" that the Board was studying all its options with regard to the case.

"Kaya nga pinag-aaralan naming mabuti kasi ayaw naming abusuhin ang aming kapangyarihan...Merong fine, merong suspension ng show, merong suspension ng network kung saka-sakali. Ayaw nating humantong [sa ganito]. Alam nating maraming taong dumedepende sa trabaho nila dito sa ating industriya pero dapat naman nating itama kung saka-sakaling may nagkamali," Llamanzares noted.

Llamanzares also emphasized in the same interview the role of parents in upholding the rights of the child.

"Alam mo damang-dama ko rin ang nararamdaman ng mga magulang. Magulang din tayo. Ang mga magulang ko ay artista rin at nung sila'y nag-umpisang bata pa. Ang kanilang mga magulang ay binigyan sila ng suporta. Pero ang pinakamahalaga ay isipin natin ang kapakanan ng ating mga anak kasi kung hindi natin dedepensahan ang kanilang kapakanan, sino pang gagawa eh di yung estado na. Kaya kung ang mga magulang mismo ang umaabuso sa kanilang mga anak under the parents patriae, the state can step in to intervene and to actually defend and uphold the rights of the child," she said.

Eugene fell into a septic tank

Ang pagiging host katuwang ni Roderick Paulate ng 8th Golden Screen Awards ang una raw na showbiz commitment na pinuntahan ni Eugene Domingo pagkagaling nito ng St. Luke's Medical Center kunsaan ay na-confine siya ng ilang araw.

Naaksidente kasi si Uge sa shooting ng bago niyang indie film for Cinemalaya, Ang Babae sa Septic Tank, dahilan para maapektuhan ang bahagi ng lumbar niya at sumakit.

Kuwento nga ni Uge, "Kailangan talaga nating alagaan ang ating katawan. Exercise. Alam niyo na hindi na tayo bumabata. Pero, natutuwa pa rin ako, tuloy ang ligaya, tuloy ang trabaho. Palagi naman, e. Lumalakas naman talaga ang katawan at kalooban pagdating sa trabaho. So, nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng nag-alaga sa akin.

"Sa St. Luke's at sa lahat ng kasama ko sa trabaho, magkita-kita tayo ulit, go na go!"

Ipinakuwento nga namin kay Uge kung ano nga ba ang nangyari sa shooting ng movie niya.

Aniya, "Meron kaming shooting for Cinemalaya. Ang eksena, kailangan kong mahulog sa septic tank, nahulog ako talaga. Hindi ko masyadong nakalkula. Pagtalon ko nang paatras, nalusot ako sa septic tank, tumama ang likod ko. Gustong-gusto ko pang ituloy ang shooting kaya lang hindi ko talaga kayang tumayo.

"Minabuti nilang dalhin na ako sa emergency [room] at agad-agad nakuha naman ang resulta ng X-ray at MRI. Wala namang na-damaged, sa awa ng Diyos. Kinailangan ko lang talagang mag-complete bed rest. So, itong Enpress ang una-una kong trabaho."

Bilang host ng 8th GSA, silang dalawa nga ni Roderick ang nagbigay-buhay sa buong awards night. Marami ring biro si Uge lalo na sa dalawang nanalo sa kategoryang nominado rin siya tulad kay Zsa Zsa Padilla for Best Supporting Actress Drama, Musical or Comedy at kay Angelica Panganiban na co-star din niya sa Here Comes The Bride.

Pero tila pawang lahat naman ng co-nominees niya ay na-threaten din na isa siya sa katunggali?

"Hindi, wala namang mga threat-threat dito. Sa atin naman, suportahan tayo rito. Nominado ka man, manalo ka or hindi ka magwagi, lahat tayo, suportado ng kapwa natin artista. So, congratulations sa lahat ng nominado at nanalo sa Enpress Golden Screen Awards ngayong taon."

When asked kung magho-host pa rin ba siya ng Golden Screen Awards sa mga susunod na taon, mabilis ang naging sagot niya: "Oo."

Aniya, "Para sa akin, ang Enpress ang pinaka-balansiyado. Tinitingnan lahat from mainstream to indie, binibigyan nila ng rekognisyon. Comedy, drama, musical. So, anytime. At ako naman, natutuwa na nabigyan na rin ako ng recognition last year. Puwedeng next year, 'di ba?," biro pa niya.

Paalis naman si Uge para sa Udine Film Festival sa Italy para pa rin sa pelikulang Here Comes The Bride.

Kuwento nga niya, "Pupunta kami ni Direk Chris Martinez. First week of May 'yan. May screening. Sana makapag-uwi ng award."

Bukod dito, tinatapos din ni Uge ang movie niya sa Star Cinema na Kakasal, Kakalas.

Ayon kay Uge, "Masaya ang shooting. Napakahusay ni Toni Gonzaga. Nominado rin siya, 'di ba? May sarili siyang istilo sa henerasyon niya. Yung kanyang comedy ay bagong-bago. At isa siya sa mga artista na kaya lahat gawin. Very modern.

"And of course, sa magandang script pa ni Direk Joey Reyes. Tungkol sa ikakasal at magpapa-annul. For the first time, ayoko ha! For the first time, ayoko nang mag-asawa."

Mariel asks Bianca, Toni to be her bridesmaids

MANILA, Philippines - Though celebrity couple Mariel Rodriguez and Robin Padilla are yet to finalize the details of their Catholic wedding set for June this year, the bride-to-be already revealed a few details.

Rodriguez divulged to ABS-CBN News that her two closest showbiz friends, model-TV host Bianca Gonzalez and TV host-actress Toni Gonzaga, will be her bridesmaids.

"I asked Bianca already before. Si Toni rin natanong ko na 'yan before eh," said Rodriguez.

"Tapos 'yun ang threat ko kay Bianca: 'Bianca, if you don't do this, hindi na kita gagawing bridesmaid sa kasal ko' or 'Bianca, thank you so much for doing this. Promise, bridesmaid ka sa kasal ko' or 'Thank you so much, Bianca. I'm gonna name my firstborn Bianca'," she quipped.

The actress-TV host also revealed that salon owner-stylist Pin Antonio will be one of their primary wedding sponsors.

"There's only one person that I asked na maging ninang, si Ms. Pin Antonio. I asked her talaga," she said.

"Tapos sabi ni Robin, nagulat siya. [He told her,] 'Alam niyo po, kayo pa lang po ang tinatanong niya'", she added.

Rodriguez also shared that some of the country's best designers pledged to design her wedding gown and the gowns of her entourage.

"May mga gusto nang gumawa ng gown at saka ng outfit ng entourage... We have Pepsi Herrera, Francis Libiran and Avel Bacudio," she said.

The "Happy Yipee Yehey" host also divulged that their upcoming Catholic wedding is open to the public.

"Lahat, para 'to sa lahat, sabi ni Robin. We want to share it with the people talaga," she ended.

Angelica and Derek split-up?

(UPDATE) Feisty young actress Angelica Panganiban just laughed off rumors that she and boyfriend Derek Ramsay had ended their relationship.

"Siyempre hindi [kami naghiwalay]. Actually last week pa kami sinasabing hiwalay na. So tumawag din sa akin si Derek sabi niya may nanggugulo ba sa 'yo? Sabi ko wala naman, may mga nagtetext lang," Angelica said in an interview with ABS-CBN's "SNN" on Thursday, March 31.

Derek and Angelica had already denied reports about their alleged split on ABS-CBN's "The Buzz" last Sunday, March 24, but days after, the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) through its Scoopbox posted that the couple had really separated.

"Tungkol sa magkasintahang derek ramsay at angelica panganiban: ang alam ng pep ay hiwalay na ang dalawa. bagamat walang kumpirmasyon mula sa sinuman sa kanila. sinasabing si derek ang mas handa sa hiwalayang ito," the statement said.

Angelica, surprised with the entertainment website's post, again denied the rumor. She even said she had just gone out with Derek last Tuesday.

"Actually nakakaloka nga kasi may blog ako and nilagay ko pa dun yung mga pictures na nag date kami nung Tuesday.Sabi ko pa nga naku ang saya-saya namin kasama ko pa yung family ko ganun, nagdinner din kami, nagluto kami sa house, kasama namin yung Mama ko. So nakakagulat na biglang ganun."

Meanwhile, Derek sent a text message to "SNN," strongly denying the rumor.

"No No No!!! We are going strong! I don't even remember the last time na nag-away kami ni Angel."

Angelica's message to detractors

To those who continuously "throw stones" at her over her relationship with Derek, Angelica gave a meaningful message, also through "SNN."

"Ang ganda ko kasi talaga at masyadong hunk yung jowa ko. Sorry kami ang pinakabagay sa buong mundo. Mamatay talaga sila sa inggit. I'm sure yung mga gumawa niyan eh naglalaway na naman ngayon, [nag-iisip kung] ano kayang next na gagawin natin? Sorry payaman kami ng payaman at painit kami ng painit dahil sa ginagawa nila di ba? Kami ang pinaka-in na couple."

Despite this statement, PEP's source insists Angelica and Derek have separated.

"Parehong idinenay ng kampo nina Derek Ramsay at Angelica Panganiban ang lumabas na report dito sa PEP Alerts na "hiwalay" na ang magkasintahan. Ayon sa text message ni Derek at PEP contributor na si Melba Llanera, hindi raw totoo ang balita. Ayon naman sa handler ni Angelica na si Cris Navarro, hindi rin daw totoong break na sina Angelica at Derek. Napahalakhak daw ang aktres nang tanungin siya tungkol dito. Ayon pa sa isang source, magkasama raw nag-dinner ang dalawa the other night. Sa kabila nito, naninindigan ang source ng PEP na totoo ang balitang ito," PEP's Scoopbox said on Thursday.

But in a post on Friday, April 1, PEP said it was happy that Angelica and Derek had not separated and admitted that the website and its source had made a mistake in its alert on Thursday.

"Kinatutuwa namin ang pagtangging ito nina Derek at Angelica dahil mahusay at maganda para sa lahat kung totoong sila pa rin. Kahit pa sabihing nagkamali ang PEP source—at, tuloy, nagkamali ang PEP sa paglabas ng balita—mas maganda pa rin kung walang hiwalayang naganap."
