Cristine Reyes stars in Eva Fonda. Eva Fonda will premiere tomorrow, December 1, right after I Love Betty La Fea. Eva Fonda is suppose to be shown not until January 2010! but “the powers that be” in ABS-CBN were so impressed with Cristine Reyes in Kahit Isang Saglit (in its last two weeks, December 12 final episode) that the supposedly canned Eva Fonda were suddenly to be shown and on the primetime block at that. ABS-CBN promises a beautiful series. In fact, the series will just air for 9 weeks and has already been completed. But of course, this is still subject to extensions and story revisions if and when the series becomes an instant hit. ABS-CBN also disclosed that Eva Fonda, the tv series is not entirely adapted from Pablo S. Gomez komiks nobela nor is an adaptation of the hit movie that launched Alma Moreno to stardom in the 70’s, also called Eva Fonda. But Alma Moreno will have a cameo role in the Eva Fonda TV Series.

Eva Fonda, the TV Series, is all about Eva Fonda. The story revolves around how Eva Fonda’s beauty became a liability instead of an asset. Though her family is poor, Eva Fonda dreamed of finishing her studies to thereafter help her family, and to marry her one true love (Jason Abalos) only to make her dreams be shattered by an obsessed lover played by Baron Geisler who abused her.

Also starring in Eva Fonda are Joross Gamboa, Rustom Padilla, Hazel Ann Mendoza, Janna Dominguez and Princess Ryan.

Banana Split Girls Roxanne Guinoo, Cristine Reyes, Angelica Panganiban, Valerie Concepcion and RR Herrera. Banana Split is the female version of Goin’ Bananas, the popular ’80s gag show that starred Christopher de Leon, Johnny Delgado, Edgar Mortiz and the late Jay Ilagan. The scriptwriters of Banana Split consist of the same writers, who worked in Goin’ Bananas, Tropang Trumpo and Goin’ Bulilit. Banana Split Girls Cast are not just sexy girls but are touted to be good actresses as well. At first Banana Split got a negative reaction mainly because of its allegedly suggestive concept, and that it mainly targets the male audience. Director Edgar “Bobot” Mortiz denies it was conceptualized as such, “Hindi sila komedyante dito, kundi actors sila doing comedy. So maipapakita nila ‘yung talent nila hindi bilang komedyante kundi ang magpapatawa dito ‘yung script namin.

“Yung (Goin’) Bananas namin nung araw, ‘yung pinakita namin, we are not comedians noon. We were actors doing comedy. ‘Yun din ang gusto kong gawin dito sa Banana Split. Di sila komedyante, artista sila.”

Banana Split airs every Saturday right after MMK (Maalaala Mo Kaya) on ABS-CBN.

Diana Zubiri is on the cover of FHM Philippines July 2008 issue. FHM is the market leader and the number one men’s magazine in the Philippines (note: in the US, it’s Maxim). When Diana Zubiri first posed for the sexy men’s mag, it sparked the “flyover” incident, wherein she posed wearing only a red hot bikini in a flyover in Mandaluyong City for her first FHM shoot in 2002. For this, she was slapped with a criminal case of Alarm and Scandal.

Diana Zubiri is also a favorite in the other Asian editions of FHM. To date she has done 4 covers. This year’s Sexiest Woman of the World poll placed her at 5th. To this Diana Zubiri said, “I’m happy kasi [I'm still a top contender] kahit marami nang bagong nagsulputan.” She regularly appears in the GMA Kapuso shows Bubble Gang and Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan.
