JM nahawahan ni Angelica sa pag-arte!

JM de Guzman is most excited about the coming release ng kanyang comeback movie after his release form a rehab center, where he was cured of drug addiction, titled That Thing Called Tadhana.

May malaking hawig daw sa karanasan niya sa pag-ibig ang kanyang role sa That Thing… Pareho silang sawi.

‘‘Ang pagkakaiba lang,’’ ani JM. ‘‘Si Anthony, character na gina­gampanan ko sa That Thing… , chose to travel, instead na nag-drugs. To shake off his masaklap na karanasan sa pag-ibig.

That Thing…, which opens in theaters nationwide starting on Wednesday, marks JM’s first team-up with Angelica Panganiban. Na labis daw niyang hinangaan, since wala raw itong ka-effort effort, habang ginagampanan niya ang role ni Mace sa pelikula.

‘‘I’m glad lang that her kahusayan seems to have rubbed on me,’’ himig nagmamalaking saad ni JM. ‘‘Aba, sabi ng aming director na si Direk (Antoinette) Jadaone, I did not only deliver, kundi beyond her expectations pa raw niya ang characterization ko bilang Anthony.

JM will next be seen in another indie film, Papa’s Boy, where Benjie Paras will play his dad.

Sensitibo sa mga nangyayari sa kapaligiran Direk Elwood ipinakansela ang magarbong pa-party ni Mother Lily

Kusang ipina-cancel ni Direk Elwood Perez ang sana’y magarbong party na ino-organize sa kanya ni Mother Lily for his 70th birthday on February 4.

As he explained to friends whom he had already invited to the gathering and we quote him: ‘‘I have been feeling out of spirits because of recent currents events.

‘‘It would be uplifting to pray for one another and for all our country men on February 4 (his birthday), which actually coincides with an event of National importance, the Liberation of Manila.

‘‘But, as we all know, the carnage in Mindanao happened.’’

In his time, Direk Elwood was one of the top directors of Regal Films, which Mother Lily owns.

Then, for a reason which he had not divulged, he detached himself from showbiz.

Two years ago, Viva Films assigned him a movie, which would have served as his comeback sa pagdidirek ng mga pelikula.

He chose not to finish the mo­vie and then was given to another director na tumapos nito.

The title of the movie escaped us at the moment.

Baka masapawan ng BF Angelica hindi kukuning escort si John Lloyd sa premiere ng pelikula

Of Angelica, she doesn’t think na appropriate na yayain niya ang kanyang boyfriend, John Lloyd Cruz, na maging escort niya sa premiere of That Thing Called Tadhana sa Megamall, Cinema 7.

Kung sabagay, considering John Lloyd’s popularity as an actor, baka ‘di maiwasang sa kanya na ma-focus ang atensyon ng mga manonood ng premiere. Kaya duda rin si Angelica na papayag itong maging escort niya sa event.

Pero kung yayayain niya si John Lloyd to watch the movie, definitely daw na ‘‘oo’’ ang sagot niya sa tanong. After all, tunay daw na maipagmamalaki niya ang performance niya sa pelikula. Since, dahil sa kasimplehan ng kanyang role, feeling daw niya, she was just herself sa movie.

‘‘At ang ganda ng movie,’’ susog pa niya. ‘‘’Di sa pagyayabang.’’

Second time na niyang maging director sa movie si Direk Antoinette who also directed her in Beauty in a Bottle.

Yes, she would not mind doing a third movie with her,’’ susog ni Angelica.
