KC Concepcion will be doing a light romance flick with matinee idol and GMA-7 contract star Richard Gutierrrez because KC Concepcion has signed a movie contract with GMA-7’s movie outfit GMA Films too.

“It’s actually become an ex-deal. Richard was lent to Star Cinema, was lent to ABS-CBN by GMA, and in return Star or ABS-CBN is lending me to GMA. So ‘yun ang nakuha ng GMA because sila naman yung lumapit for the tandem,” KC said.

KC Concepcion already signed for a movie project with Star Cinema for her first film and of course it is with Richard Gutierrez. Star Cinema got Richard Gutierrez for a one-movie deal.

KC said she prayed hard for her first movie deal that it should be with Richard Gutierrez, and after it was sealed she lit candles at Madeleine Church in Paris. KC went to Paris for a short vacation on May 1st, and flew back to the Philippines on May 8th. “Nagsindi ako ng dalawang kandila and nag-thank you ako sa lahat ng nangyari. And talagang ‘yun nga yung imposible ay nangyari napagbigyan.”

Richard Gutierrez went to ABS-CBN yesterday for the story conference of their movie which will start shooting next week. KC Concepcion went to GMA today for the contract signing accompanied by manager, Sandra Chavez. “I’m so excited. I’m so nervous. I think this is time naman para i-welcome ako sa GMA-7,” KC said.

GMA Artist Center headed by Ms. Yda Henares formally introduced the new GMA Artist Center talents. “Mas malakas ang dating ng mga lalaki,” one reporter loudly observed. It’s so unlike in StarStruck where the girls usually are more promising than the boys, this time, it’s the guys who look like they have more chances of making it than the girls.

Presenting some of the new GMA Artist Center Male Talents:

Rye Fariñas is the second of six kids of the late Maria Theresa
Carlson and Gov. Rudy Fariñas. His eldest sister, Cristina, 23, is
also being introduced with him. Rye, 20, stands 5′10″ and is a
culinary arts sophomore at St. Benilde. He plans to put up his own
restaurant someday. His real name is Ryan. “But since GMA already has Ryan Yllana, they told me to use my nickname instead,” says Rye who sings and dances and wants to be part of “SOP”. He’s been doing ramp modeling since he was 17 and it’s his modeling agency that referred him to GMA-7.

Victor Aliwalas, 23, was born in Ohio then his family moved to New
York where he finished marketing and finance at the University of
Syracuse. He was already a mortgage broker when their family had a
vacation in Manila. His cousin showed his picture to a talent manager and he was hired to do modeling and later was referred to GMA 7. “I never imagined I’d be in showbiz as it was never my intention to sing or act,” he says. “But things just fell into place and now I’m happy to be with GMA.” His drawback is that he speaks Tagalog with an American accent. “Mabilis naman akong matuto and I want to try hosting,” he says. Victor’s dad is from Pampanga and his mom is from Bicol. He’s the youngest of two kids and his elder sister is a doctor. He stands 5′10″ and has a very hunky physique as he works out regularly in the gym.

Gino de la Peña, 20, is 5′9″ and does print modeling. Recently, a
talent scout from Chicago saw him in a mall and got him to be the
first Filipino model for Benneton. He has appeared in music videos and was once the leading man of Nina in one of her videos. He finished entrepreneurial management at Thames College and has hosted some shows of Christian Bautista since they belong to the same church. He is a fan of Katrina Halili and once spent P50,000 worth of Tricks Gel just to win a date with her.

Lawrence Gutierrez, 18, is 6′1″ and the cousin of Ruffa and Richard
Gutierrez, and also of Rye Farinas. He is a professional model who’s
trying showbiz for the first time. Einar Ingerbrigsten (we hope
they’ll give him a shorter screen name) is 22 and has done a number
of TV commercials. Joseph Marco, 18, has the potential of a teen
hearthrob. He has also done several commercials and is part of
Cosmo’s 2007 centerfolds. He was also in the top 30 of the Be Bench / The Model Search.

Bryann Jay Foronda, a commercial model, theater actor, choir member and athlete.

Josh, 19, a professional model who won a prestigious male competition in the US.

Joseph Marco, model, has done commercials for Jollibee, Head & Shoulders, Downy, and Red Ribbon, was one of the Cosmo 69 Bachelors for 2007.

Einar Ingebrigsten, 22, 5′11, Penshoppe model, a talent of Victorio Modeling Agency, Mossimo Bikini Summit 2005 winner, has appeared in a McDonald’s commercial with another GMA talent Rhian Ramos.

Some are already veterans in the entertainment industry or are not exactly new to showbiz, they are now managed by the GMA Artist Center, talents like Marvin Agustin, Paolo Paraiso, Jon
Joven, and child stars Renz Velario and Iking Mangundayao.

A lot of people are wondering if the RRRAMPA (A Fund Raising
Event), na magaganap sa September 16 will feature aside from expensive clothes worn by celebs, Richard Gutierrez and Raymond Gutierrez’ underwear will also be up for sale. This will surely be a bestseller. I think they should, hahaha, anyway its for a good cause.
