Pinoy Fear Factor South America hosted by Ryan Agoncillo starts airing Nov. 10 on ABS-CBN and will run for 15 weeks. So far the Pinoy Fear Factor 12 Participantes as they are officially called had not been fully revealed with the exception of celebrities Phoemela Barranda and LJ Moreno. Sources say that Riza Santos is also a part of Pinoy Fear Factor. Others are semi-celeb (if there is such a thing) like Ram Sagad, Century Tuna Superbodies 2007 Winner/Welcoat basketball player; Gail Nicolas, Marian Rivera look-alike and Mossimo Bikini Summit 2007 Winner; and a certain Janna Dominguez, who is said to be a former Wowowee host.

Some ordinary folks with colorful presents and pasts are also Pinoy Fear Factor Participantes like: Savanah – described as a ledge dancer; RJ – a stevedore with two kids from Tarlac; Elmer – a vet; Jose – a culinary student; Manuel – a balikbayan from Australia; Marion Dela Cruz – a challenger from Tarlac ( and resides in Vienna, Austria); and Jommy – a model.

In the auditions held nationwide, PFF hopefuls were asked to perform some small stunts and had to undergo physical and psychological examinations. Knowing how to swim and drive was also a strict requirement. There were also some contestants who failed to meet particular clauses in the contract hence had to back out, which further extended the selection process to almost two months.

The 12 participantes left at the end of August and stayed in Argentina for a month. The first winner of Pinoy Fear Factor: South America takes home P2 million in cash and a house and lot worth P2.5 million from Avida. EcoQuest intl could have been a sponsor of this event too.

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.

Sam Milby had a revealing exposure in last night’s episode of Dyosa. Or was it last night? Basta. Look na lang kayo sa video below. If you are still reading and has not head out to check the video, lol, then shall we expect a more daring Sam Milby in his indie film Cul de Sac? We hope so. And contrary to that item on a local tabloid that Sam Milby is mukhang “tuyot” na daw, Sam Milby is looking hot in this daring episode of Dyosa. And to think that this is shown on Primetime Bida and on national television broadcast at that, so is this allowed on television nowadays? Apparently so since it what you will see below is what was shown on ABS-CBN exactly. Now, enjoy it!

Ai Ai Delas Alas superhero character and of course the TV series, Volta, made it in the Regional Semifinals of the 2008 International Emmy Awards, Best Comedy Show category, making it the ONLY TV Show from the Philippines to make it that far this year in the prestigious Television award-giving body. “Kami lang ang pumasok mula sa Pilipinas. Go na go na kapatid. Ang taray talaga! Salamat sa Diyos,” Ai Ai Delas Alas gushed after hearing of the Volta nomination. Last Year, ABS-CBN’s late night news program, Bandila, also made it to the International Emmy’s.

Volta will compete with NEO-Office Chuckles NHK, Telecom Staff of Japan, The I.T. Crowd A Talkback Thames Prod for Channel 4 of Uni­ted Kingdom, The Thick of It - Spinners & Losers, BBC of United Kingdom, Boese Maedchen Biller & Vass TV Produktion of Germany, Geile Zeit Sony Pictures Film und Fernseh Produktions GmbH of Germany, and some other shows from Latin America.

In the intriguing side of Philippine Showbiz, it has been reported that Ai Ai Delas Alas reportedly said, “impakta si Kris Aquino” and AiAi is reportedly still very angry at her for having been dragged into the James Yap-Kris Aquino separation controversy.
