Ate Vi tumangging gumanap na Mother Lily

Juday at Dingdong mina-match

Nag-beg off pala si Vilma Santos kay Mother Lily Monteverde mismo, from playing Mother Lily’s role as herself now, sa pelikulang gagawin about the ultra successful film matriarch.

Ate Vi reportedly reasoned her busy schedule as Lipa Representative, na siya namang naunawaan ni Mother Lily.

Samantala, si Judy Ann Santos na ang tiyak na gaganap na younger Mother Lily. Hindi pa sigurado naman kung sino ang gaganap na Father Remy (Monteverde), Mother Lily’s better half.

In his younger years, according mismo kay Mother Lily, Father Remy was handsome, pang-movie star ang tipo.

He was a basketball player during his San Beda College days.

In any case, someone suggested why not Dingdong Dantes?

Oo nga why not?

In the case naman of the role of the older Mother Lily, dahil hindi nga puwede si Ate Vi, bakit hindi si Sharon Cuneta?

Richard Gomez, now Mayor of Ormoc City, will make an ideal “older” Father Remy.

We had the chance na makausap si Mother Lily sa presscon ng soon-to-be released production ng kanyang film firm na Regal Entertainment, ang D’ Ninang, starring AiAi delas Alas with Kisses Delavin, McCoy de Leon, Lou Veloso, Kiray Celis and introducing Angel Guardian, plus Joey Marquez. It is directed by GB Sampedro.

Sa aming pag-uusap, we asked Mother Lily, kung seryoso siya sa ini-announce niya that she will produce, atleast, 52 films this year.

Mother Lily promptly said yes. In fact, she now has, aside from daughter, Roselle Monteverde, Meme Monteverde will also help her with her production.

Meme, before her marriage and decision to turn full-time housewife, produced her own movie. She put up her own production, na kasosyo niya ang nasirang si Douglas Quijano.

“With Meme around,” tukoy ni Mother Lily, “lalong lalawak at lalago ang Regal Entertainment.”

Kiray looking forward sa kasal sa non-showbiz BF

Hindi na kailangang ibandera pa ni Kiray Celis na inlove siya, dahil halata naman ito sa kanyang aura.

The love of her life, according to her, is not from showbiz. Pero, good looking daw ang binata. Matalino at hardworking pa.

It was the guy who encouraged her to put up a restaurant kung saan magkasos­yo sila.

Happily daw, the restaurant is doing well. Magkasama sila sa pagpapatakbo ng kanilang negosyo. Although daw, wala siyang balak na talikuran ang showbiz.

Kiray started as a child star. Produkto siya ng Goin’ Bulilit.

Asked kung kailan siya magpapakasal, Kiray seriously replied “In time. Bagama’t he has proposed na. kaya sure na, na siya na ang makakasama ko sa buhay.”

Well, Kiray, Good luck.

Kyline todo ipon para sa debut

Kapuso talent Kyline Alcantara has no particular escort yet sa debut party niya when she plans to organize.

Kung sabagay daw, this will happen in September yet.

“But I’m preparing for it, as I want it to be really a party na maipagmamalaki ko,” aniya.

It’s one of the reason why, Kyline, added, she is working so hard. Kailangan daw may ipon for the event.

Right now, Kyline is cast with Nora Aunor in the latter’s new soap for GMA-7, ang Bilangin Ang Mga Bituin Sa Langit.

She has met Nora raw, but has not had the chance to work with her yet.

“That’s why, I’m both excited and stressed,” ani Kyline. “Gusto ko kasi magbigay ng magandang impression kay Tita Guy.”
