Singer actor Lance Raymundo has done some better use for those muscles by appearing in indie films which showcases his other muscle. And put to good use it is! Lance Raymundo is working on 5 films like: Motorcycle produced by Cinema One Originals by John Red, with Jason Abalos and Jao Mapa; Desisyon produced by Star Cinema; Saya, a period film intended for Cinemanila and the Toronto and Vancouver Film Festival; Xenoa 2; and Fidel where Lance Raymundo topbills the film. Fidel is intended to be shown at next year’s Cannes Film Festival. Fidel, is an indie film based on the true story of a male OFW sensually abused by his Arab employer played by hot and hunky model John Hall! And the highlight of the film is a daring abuse scene with John Hall. Also starring in Fidel are Andrea del Rosario, Snooky Serna, Maria Isabel Lopez, John Hall, among others.

Lance Raymundo on his role in Fidel:

“There’s one scene na kailangang gawin para mas maipakita yung story. Sa movie kasi, he got * by this Arab, e, pero it’s done in a way na wala namang naagrabyado sa artista. Iyong Arabo was played by John Hall and pareho kami, both have modeling contracts na may mga clauses. Kasi I represent MET Tathione and he represent another brand, so may limitations din. Pero we’re able to compromise para maipakita pa rin ng realistic yung kuwento.

“May partial sa akin, wala lang contact ko. Bale implied yung eksena, pero after that, nang iwan ako ng rapist na halos mamamatay na ang katawan ko, siyempre ipinakita kung ano yung aftermath nun. Kaya siyempre, hindi naman puwedeng nakabihis doon, kaya pumayag ako sa eksenang ‘yon dahil kailangan talaga, e.

“So, yeah, masisilip yung ano ko rito, nakadapa ako after the scene, e. Part of the job ito and wala naman akong qualms sa mga ganitong eksena dahil napakaimportante nun, e. Kasi if you put yourself in a role ‘tapos yun yung nangyari sa ginagampanan mo, lalo’t base ito sa true-to-life story, you won’t feel shy.

“‘Tsaka yun yung mindset na nakuha ko sa pamilya ko, dahil mga artista rin ang pamilya ko, na talagang you forget who you are. Na hindi ako si Lance, ako si Fidel and ito ang nangyari sa kanya kaya kailangan naming ipakita iyon.”

Does he expect an award for Fidel?

“I’m hoping, kasi talagang piniga ako ni Direk, e. It’s by Direk Sandy Bacolod, siya yung assistant director ng 100 na nanalo si Mylene Dizon, Konsiyerto, at Boses. And ngayon ay full-fledged direktor na siya. Pinanood ko ang mga movie na ‘yan at nakita ko kung paano nila idinirek dito si Mylene and ‘yon din yung ginawa nila sa akin.

“Although I don’t wanna assume, pero I wanna hope dahil siyempre, gusto ko na ‘yong pinaghirapan ko, kasi talagang in-immerse ko ang sarili ko na noong nasa set ako, feeling ko nga ay hindi na ako si Lance. Pati ‘yong mga pulis na gumanap doon, mga Arabo talaga, e. So kapag nakakaramdam ako ng pagod at hirap, nandoon naman yung satisfaction na worth it ito, dahil ginastusan at pinaghirapan talaga e.”

Body Heat 2008 Pageant was held July 11 in SM North The Block. It featured a bikini for girls and swimming trunks portion for the guys. Basically a model search, the winners were chosen through a casual wear and swimwear portion and a Q&A. Body Heat though failed to elicit much body heat. The contestants and eventual winners were just so so..take a look at the contestants and winners.

Kaloka, etoh! look what i stumbled upon, i saw this Celine Lopez Livejournal blog, ( yes, i’m convinced it’s hers) where Celine Lopez described herself as these:

Bio: Hello! Choose your own adventure! Today, I am Celine R. Lopez, It girl-extraordinaire, a Lopez scion, a Philippine Star columnist and now a published author of a collection of my column “Coffee To Cocktails”. Don’t you wanna be me? I bet you do.

No, thanks Celine. lol..Actually the blog was written in 2003 pa, but it seemed like just yesterday with her entries there. Some of it are actually “well written” entries, although Brian Gorell in his expose’ blog, revealed that Celine employs ghost writers. She even had an ominous “Scandale blogs and other spam” entry..isn’t it ironic..

She also has one entry where she categorically, definitively, and surely mentioned someone named Tim as his “Will, the ghey friend” ala Will and Grace. She wrote in the context of “V” his boyfriend being “jealous” of her BFF Tim, “He says I stay in Tim’s condo too much, that I don’t have parties in OUR studio anymore, that even if I’m with V, all I talk about is Tim, that Tim and I talk too much over the fone or texting too much! It makes me so sad because the relationship between a gay man and a woman is not to be meddled with; it’s sacred and honest. We feed off each other’s vibes, we’re peas in a pod, we’re like 2 bath balls in the bathtub of life! I believe my growth as a woman involves the intervention of a ghey man.”

Where is Celine Lopez now? How about Wendy Puyat-Hotung?

Alfie Lorenzo, manager of Judy Ann Santos is fearful that the Meralco ad may backfire on his talent, Judy Ann Santos. Alfie also thinks that the ad is a demolition job on Juday, so that the wrath of the Filipino people on Meralco will now unnecessarily pass on to Juday. “Hindi ko alam iyan. Hindi ako kinausap. Kasi paalis na sila Juday noon nung nag-text na lang yung secretary niyang si Jane. Sabi niya, may humabol pong komersyal. Pabaon daw sa Europe (I don’t know about that. I was not informed. Judy Anne’s secretary sent me a text message saying that she was asked to do one last commercial before she leaves for Europe),” Alfie Lorenzo speaking on dzBB with Mike Enriquez.

Alfie also said that Judy Ann’s acceptance of the deal would actually work against her, saying the commercial was really meant to bring down her image. “I think its part of the demolition job. I think bahagi iyan ng demolition job against Judy Ann Santos.”

Lorenzo explained that the creators of the commercial, which is being aired over television and radio, signed Judy Ann for the advisory because they believe that she could “soften the anger of the people.”

“Iyong galit ng mga tao sa Meralco, baka naman sa kaniya mapunta at magtagumpay na sila na mapabagsak si Judy Ann, so may pag-asa na silang mapasikat ang ibang artista nila,” he explained.

“Of course. Ibigay naman natin ang side niya (Let’s give her a chance to air her side).” Alfie also planned to go to Europe but has been getting a hard time following her to Europe because “people have been trying to block my VISA.”

But despite the Meralco by Judy Ann Santos infomercial explaining the process of system loss, Alfie admits he could not grasp the concept of Meralco’s side of charging good standing and paying customers system loss.

“Si Juday na nga ang nagpapaliwanag, eh hindi ko pa rin maintindihan.”
