Meanwhile, check out the Megastar Sharon Cuneta in the 6th Festival Paris Cinema held from July 1-12, 2008 in Paris, France where her megahit film ‘Caregiver’ was also screened. In the recording front, Sharon Cuneta’s “Isn’t It Romantic Vol. 2” was recently certified five times platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI).

Could this be a sign that Judy Ann Santos star power has been diminished by her “System’s Loss TV Commercials?” Her supposed first major tv appearance and a formal announcement of her engagement to Ryan Agoncillo in Sharon Cuneta’s Sunday show, Sharon, only made it to no.7 in the ratings. The Ryan Agoncillo, Judy Ann Santos appearance in Sharon has been regularly plugged in almost all the tv shows of ABS-CBN from morning till night, in short, it was heavily promoted, but despite it, it only landed a dismal 7th.

The Megastar Sharon Cuneta although visible via her tv show Sharon, has not been seen on the big screen in a long time, her new movie Caregiver is her first in four years and the 15th anniversary presentation of Star Cinema. It is also Chito Roño’s groundbreaking directorial project for 2008.

Caregiver chronicles the journey of Sarah (Sharon Cuneta), a schoolteacher-turned-caregiver. Most of Caregiver was shot in London with British actors Saul Reichlin, Matthew Rutherford and Claire Jeater; and the Filipino cast of John Estrada, Rica Peralejo, Makisig Morales, John Manalo, Jhong Hilario, Mickey Feriols, Lotlot de Leon, Marita Zobel, Anita Linda, Ella V., Ima Castro and Boots Anson Roa.

Caregiver is not only a fitting tribute to the millions of OFW’s but is a way for Sharon to celebrate thirty successful years in Philippine Showbiz, twenty years of that in ABS-CBN.

“I hope itong munting alay ko para sa napakalalaking okasyon na ito and over 30 years in music and 27 years in the movies, I have been yours, you have made me yours, I hope na kasama ko pa rin kayo hanggang dito, Diyos ko ‘di ko alam aabot tayo sa ganito. Maraming maraming salamat po! So this is my tribute to all of you and to all mothers because really Sarah’s first and foremost a mother and she is an empowered woman so panoorin nyo po sana ang Caregiver. Diyos ko di po ako mapapahiya sa inyo!”

Caregiver opens in theaters nationwide on May 28, 2008. International premieres are scheduled in Los Angeles (May 31), Honolulu (June 1), London (June 6), and Rome (June 7).

Watch the full trailer of Caregiver below, actually trailer pa lang, ganda na! a must see film nood kayo nito when it opens.

KC Concepcion in Yes! 100 Most Beautiful Stars cover out on the 2nd week of May 2008. KC Concepcion is bare, no make-up on in the mag’s cover but KC is still pretty without make-up. Check out KC Concepcion on the cover of Yes! 100 Most Beautiful Stars of 2008 below..

Meanwhile, Powerdance, the country’s premier dance company, will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a gala concert entitled Powerdance@21: Licensed to Thrill on May 27 at the Araneta Coliseum. In this highly-anticipated dance concert, expect nothing but the most impressive choreography of world-class dance choreographer Douglas Nierras. Powerdance@21: Licensed to Thrill will be hosted by Boy Abunda and KC Concepcion. Douglas Nierras choreographed KC Concepcion’s spectacular dance number in Sharon Cuneta’s birthday concert last January at the Big Dome.

KC Concepcion is the coverstory in the April 2008 issue of Preview magazine. And in that coverspread, KC Concepcion is sporting a new short hair with bangs. KC is no stranger to the bangs ‘do though, she was photographed last year in Yes! Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People with bnags but not in a short hair. Well, KC is a trend-setter so expect the bangs and the short hair to be the new “it”. (Edit: I was told, that it was only a wig that KC was wearing in the Preview shoot).

Meanwhile, after the nasty rumor that KC Concepcion has been seen cavorting with Luis Manzano, or that KC is trying to look like Celine Lopez with this Preview cover, KC is actually doing the good deed by being a United Nations Ambassador of Goodwill plus she’s also busy enriching herself, she just bagged a contract to be the endorser of French skin care line Garnier. And in the Garnier launch, KC Concepcion, also donned a sexy outfit but with elan of course. KC Concepcion is also going full blast with her showbiz career with an album in the offing and a movie under Star Cinema.

Btw, the Preview mag April 2008 issue features socialites who hails from the provinces like Ciara Marasigan of Laguna, Margarita Hernandez-Lopez of Dipolog City and Mica Buenaflor of Naga City.
