Angel Locsin (and Piolo Pascual) will have an early Christmas treat to their GELO loveteam fans with the showing on November 12 of Land Down Under. Land Down Under is the very first movie of Angel Locsin under Star Cinema. Land Down Under is a love story between cowboys and was shot in Bukidnon in Mindanao and in Australia. Land Down Under also stars Erich Gonzales, Dimples Romana, Nash Aguas, and many more..

And on the topic of an Angel Locsin Christmas, it seems to still be a promise of a Merry Christmas because contrary to a rumored breakup with boyfriend Luis Manzano, their relationship is still going strong, Luis Manzano assured it himself. Angel Locsin is also busy doing commercials (see Angel Locsin Armpits) and preparing for her Teleserye to be shown early next year.

Toni Gonzaga and Vhong Navarro stars in My Only U, a light romantic comedy movie that is sure to capture the imagination of the Filipino movie going public once again.

Toni Gonzaga and Vhong Navarro starred together three years ago in the comedy D’Anothers and now Vhong and Toni are back in each other’s arms as partners in My Only U. Vhong and Toni worked together also in the television show Wazzup Wazzup in Studio 23. They were both “newscasters” of the comedic-news program.

My Only U, will open in cinemas starting October 29. Watch the trailer of My Only U below, courtesy of Star Cinema.

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.

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 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.
