Alex mas pinili ang Araneta kesa Music Museum!

Si Pops Fernandez, still tagged as the country’s Concert Queen (ex-husband, Martin Nievera is still Concert King pa rin) and who is now into producing concerts, ang unang nagbalak na mag-produce ng concert for Alex Gonzaga.

It would have been a two-night concert sa Music Museum sana. But for what reason, ‘di ito natuloy.

But now, finally, magkaka-concert na rin si Alex. And guess kung saan at kailan ito magaganap?

‘‘Sa Araneta Coliseum lang po,’’ sagot ni Alex. ‘‘At ang date po: April 25.”

As publicized by now, the concert, which international and local concert producer, Joed Serrano, will produce ay may pamagat na The Unexpected Concert.

Does Alex think she’ll be able to fill up the Big Dome?

Muli, ang kanyang sagot, sa himig na ‘di mo alam kung nagbibiro o nagmamalaki, ‘‘Why not? Everyone, for sure, maski ‘di ko maituturing na followers would be eager to know kung ano ang mga unexpected na puwede kong gawin during the concert.

‘‘Already, I have a long list ng mga performer, whom I’d like to request na mag-guest sa concert.

‘‘Sana, unexpectedly, pumayag silang lahat,’’ pahayag niya.

Maja inuulan ng trabaho

Isa nga pala sa pangalang binanggit ni Alex na malamang kausapin niya to grace her concert is Maja Salvador. And it’s likely daw that Maja will agree.

Close kayo? Alex was asked by members of the entertainment press during the presscon for the concert.

‘‘Well, iyan ang feeling ko,’’ nakangiting sagot ni Alex.

Well, when we asked Maja, during the presscon naman niya for the renewal of her contract as endorser of the sanitary napkin, Sisters, ang quick reply niya: ‘‘Malamang.’’

Like Alex, Maja is herself enjoying a lucky streak in her showbiz career. According to her, the Sisters sanitary napkin, hindi lang ito ang endorsement na meron siya.

What excites her, Maja said, is her soon-to-start series, Bridges of Love, where she is reunited with Jericho Rosales, who played her lover in her last teleserye, The Legal Wife, where Angel Locsin was assigned the title role.

Also in the cast of Bridges… are Paulo Avelino, Carmina Villaroel, at Edu Manzano.

Meron na rin siyang second single mula sa kanyang album.

Maja won praises for her natural dancing skills, when she danced the Chandelier, with real-life boyfriend, Gerald Anderson, during the ASAP 20th anniversary presentation at the MOA (Mall of Asia Area) na napanood noong Linggo.

Of why Megasoft Company, which produces and distributes Sisters in the market, took back Maja bilang endorser, since they had, for a time,   Erich Gonzales, Mrs. Aileen Go, who co-owns the company with husband, Emilio Go, said: ‘‘Perfect siya sa product namin. At hanga rin kami sa kanyang capability as actress.

‘‘Bukod sa magaan siyang katrabaho,’’ susog pa ni Mrs. Go.

Personal: Our sincere condolences to the bereaved family of our late friend, fellow entertainment writer and, later magazine editor, Linda Celestrial na namatay while confined sa Labor Hospital.

As of this writing, ‘di pa tiyak ng anak niyang si Azel kung saan ibuburol ang ina.

Let’s all pray for the repose of her soul.
