Barbie, nangungupahan pa rin ng bahay

Will Barbie Imperial emerge as popular an actress as the late Amalia Fuentes?

Both are Bicolanas. And Barbie’s dream, naturally, is to become as popular and good actress as Amalia.

Wala pa kasing Bicolana na naging katulad ni Ma’am Amalia sa showbiz.

Amalia, likewise, was known as one of local showbiz’ beautiful faces.

Well, bida si Barbie sa kanyang bagong movie with boyfriend in real life, Diego Loyzaga.

Titled Dulo (dating Patungong Tayo), Dulo is a production of Viva Films and will have Fifth Solomon as director.

Of Barbie, she, her mom at kapatid, no longer live along the riles (ng tren), as they used to.

Noong baguhan pa kasi si Barbie (she has been in showbiz for nearly three years na), dinadala ang kanyang call slip sa bahay nila na malapit sa riles ng tren.

“Kahit kailan,” ani Barbie, “hindi ko ikinahiyang ipinanganak akong mahirap. Ito pa nga ang nagsilbing motivation ko para magsikap ako at mag-improve ang buhay naming mag-anak.”

And dream daw ngayon ni Barbie ay makapagpatayo ng sariling bahay.

Nangungupahan pa kasi sila.

Ate Vi, magdidirek ng pelikula

Foremost pala, Salve A., sa plano ni Star for All Seasons, yes, Vilma Santos-Recto, bukod, of course, sa pagbigyan ang kanyang followers, dahil ‘pahinga’ nga muna siya sa pulitika, sa hiling ng mga ito na gumawa siya ng movie, ay ang makapagdirek.

Well, ng movie, of course.

To which, ang sagot namin, why not?

After all, if there is one showbiz personality, who knows, kumbaga, the showbiz business too well, it is Ate Vi.

Now 68 years old exactly (birthday, Nov. 3), she was nine years old when she did the title role in Trudis Liit.

Henceforth, she has been acting in films. Of all genre. Until ‘inagaw’ siya ng pulitika.

Well, for her first directorial job, we suggest na ang kanyang panganay, si Luis (Manzano), ang gawin niyang bida.

Kaya, dapat light comedy romance lang.

And for Luis’ leading lady, why not Janine Gutierrez?

Parang reunion na rin nila ito ni Nora Aunor, her greatest rival in her time as an actress.

May intriga agad ‘pag nagkataon, ‘di ba, as Janine is Guy’s apo, (Nora Aunor pet name), being the daughter of Guy’s adopted daughter, Lotlot de Leon.

Promise, Salve A., mauuna kaming pipila sa sinehan, as yes, by then, bukas na ang theaters, para mapanood ang pelikula.

Luis is 40 years old e­xactly and a graduate of the De La Salle University.

Graduate naman ng Ateneo de Manila University si Janine, who is 32.

Dennis at Jennylyn, gustong makababae

Dennis Trillo at Jennylyn Mercado are making sure kasal na silang dalawa bago ipanganak ni Jennylyn ang kanilang panganay, na wish nila both ay babae.

Three months pregnant pa lamang si Jennylyn.

Both boys are in their pre-teen.

Ang aktor na si Patrick Garcia ang father ng anak ni Jennylyn.

Si Carlene Aguilar, dating aktres at beauty queen, ang mother naman ng anak ni Dennis.
