This is the complete transcript of the controversial Judy Ann Santos talent manager and entertainment columnist Alfie Lorenzo Startalk Interview. This interview was shown yesterday, October 18 on Startalk. Judy Ann Santos got the ire of her manager when she decided to consult her lawyer first before signing an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN. The Exclusive ABS-CBN contract is to last until 2011. Alfie Lorenzo feels that Judy Ann Santos has lost trust of him as a manager by consulting a lawyer first, eventhough Judy Ann Santos reportedly got a very good deal out of the supposed ABS-CBN exclusive contract. Here’s what Alfie Lorenzo had to say in Startalk:

“Naiinis lang kasi after 20 years, ngayon lang siya nagkonsulta sa abogado, E, naaalala ko nga, that time na mag-asawa siya at mabuntis siya, wala na siyang offer, wala na siyang trabaho. Inaalagaan ko lang ang future nila. The same way na bata pa lang ‘yan, inaalagaan ko na, hanggang sa pag-aasawa. Siyempre, wala naman akong tutol sa kanila ni Ryan and, in fact, I appreciate Ryan’s gesture na hindi naman siya nakikialam sa career ni Juday.”

“May guarantee siya na kung mag-aaaral nga siya (Judy Ann) sa States ng Culinary Arts, may allowance siya. Kung halimbawa magtanan siya, magpakasal, mabuntis siya, may allowance siya. So I signed it at sabi ko, papirmahan n’yo na kay Juday.

The whole day of Wednesday (October 8), wala siyang gagawin noon, victory party ng Kulam. After that, siguro mga two o’ clock or three ‘o clock, puwede na siyang tumawid sa ABS, di ba? E, tumawag sa akin ang executive ng Dos na humihingi nga raw ng kopya si Juday. So, ni-meet nila si Juday. Sabi, ‘Bigyan n’yo ako ng kopya at ipakikita ko sa abogado ko.

Wala pa naman si Judy Ann, nagsusugal na ako. Hindi naman ako pulubi nang madampot ni Juday. Siya ang pulubi nang madampot ko. Ngayon, she’s a billionaire! Alalahanin na lang ni Juday yung 20 years na nakapila pa sila sa Cubao, na nagdyi-jeep lang. Hanggang sa naihanap ko sila ng apartment na ako pa rin minsan ang nag-aabono. Yung first van niya, ako pa rin ang nag-down no’n.

Hindi naman kabawasan sa akin bilang talent manager kung mamuhay na nang tahimik si Juday sa piling ni Ryan. Well, I hope they become the first couple that will not separate in showbiz. Good luck!

Okay lang naman sa akin. Hindi naman ako na-devastate noong lahat sila… Nag-asawa si Sheryl Cruz, nag-asawa si Jackie Forster, nag-asawa si Ruffa Gutierrez, nag-asawa si Sunshine Cruz, okey lang yun, di ba? Marami pa namang matutuklasang talents. Stars come and go.

Talagang ang mga artistang babae kapag…(Startalk censored this part) . Wala na…nawawala sila sa katinuan nila. Bahala na siya kung gusto pa niya ako or ang attorney niya.

After all this outburst, Alfie Lorenzo is still optimistic that the matter will be settled amicably by saying, “Maaayos din naman yun… Dyusko!” as his final hurrah.

Judy Ann Santos meanwhile was also interviewed by Startalk and was aired right after Alfie’s. Juday was very diplomatic about the situation and said that she only wanted to make things straight, given the fact that she has a tax evasion case, and does not see anything wrong with consulting a lawyer first. She said that she wanted to settle the matter privately with her manager Alfie Lorenzo.

Alfie Lorenzo, manager extraordinaire of Juday, and Juday herself, reportedly had a shouting match (and burning of candles?) over Judy Ann Santos’ supposed renewal of contract with ABS-CBN. According to very reliable sources, manager Alfie Lorenzo got mad at Juday when, when Alfie presented the contract to Juday for signing, Judy Ann reportedly said, she would first consult her lawyer to go over the details of the new contract before she finally signs it. This got the ire of Alfie who reportedly said that after 20 years of managing her, why suddenly now will Juday remark that she will first consult a lawyer first, before signing anything. Reliable sources over at Startalk also said they have interviewed on cam Alfie Lorenzo and will be aired on Saturday, and in that interview, Alfie said some nasty things about Juday and even called her a “pulubi” when he started managing her 20 years ago.

Meanwhile, some reliable sources again, also hinted that Alfie is keeping a very big secret, a bombshell actually, that’s why Juday can never leave the ward of manager Alfie Lorenzo even if she wants to.

Angelika Dela Cruz has finally stopped telling us lies. And she admitted it by saying, “Grabe I’m so happy too nagulat lang…Do you think I should tell the truth na I was engaged na for two years and kept it a secret lang? What do you think? I don’t want to lie anymore.” Angelika Dela Cruz said this in the context of her 3 months pregnancy and her civil wedding to long time boyfriend Orion Caesario. What is appaling is that I was able to catch the Startalk interview with Angelika Dela Cruz and she said it straight to the camera that she is pregnant and is planning to wed but probably in a civil wedding ceremony daw muna, but lo and behold, she had been maried all along na pala in civil rites last Aug. 19.

Angelika Dela Cruz is still busy working though despite her pregnancy. She is on the new Primetime series, La Lola and in the afternoon soap, Una Kang Naging Akin.

On GMA’s showbiz talk show Startalk where Joey De Leon is also a co-host, Joey De Leon refused to answer directly the Pokwang aswang brouhaha but took a swipe yet again on Pokwang. Joey De Leon said:

“Ayoko na sanang patulan ‘to pero papatulan ko na. Yung kay Pokwang, may isa lang akong sasabihin. Wala akong sinabing ganun Pokwang. Naiiyak na ako e. Bukas magbasa ka ng Philippine Star. Sinasabi nyo na tinutukso daw ang anak mo na aswang daw ang nanay niya, isa lang ang masasabi ko…ilipat mo ng bubong.”

And just before Startalk was about to end, Joey De Leon collaterally said:

“Meron pa akong idadagdag pa uli kay Pokwang. Nagpasalamat siya sa akin dahil sumisikat na siya, sa news nila no. Natutuwa ako at sumisikat ka na kaya lang Pokwang, yung mga sumisikat sa show niyo tinatanggal yun. Kaya ingat ka dahil yung host dun ayaw na nalalagpasan. Bawal dun ang lumalagpas sa host, isa lang ang host dun e. Kaya ingat ka rin, kaya sana, wag kang masyadong sumikat para hindia ka matanggal.”

There. Quote unquote..

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.
