ABOUT SHOWBIZ Ni Nitz Miralles

Kundi kahapon, this Thursday lang nakabalik ng Manila si Marian Rivera galing sa shooting ng Temptation Island sa Paoay, Ilocos Norte. Hindi na natuloy ang balak ni Dingdong Dantes na dalawin ang nobya sa set ng pelikula, pero makakapagsimba pa rin silang magkasama dahil nakabalik na ang aktres.

Nabanggit kasi ni Dingdong sa set ng I Heart You Pare na kundi niya mabibisita si *Marian sa shooting nito, either Subic o sa Batangas siya this Holy Week, pero dahil nakabalik na ang GF, magkasama pa rin silang pupunta sa Subic.

Sabi pala ni Dingdong, kung may chance, gusto niyang magbakasyon sa Maldives at siyempre pa, si Marian ang gusto niyang kasama.

Top 15 Finalists of 'Kitchen Superstar' Revealed

By Night Owl on 9:30 PM

Filed Under: ,


A whopping P1 million-peso cash prize, rewards from challenges and the chance to shine as a culinary A-lister – these are all at stake in the biggest cooking-reality game show on television, Kitchen Superstar.

Hosted by restaurant owner and chef Marvin Agustin, "Kitchen Superstar" premiered last Monday, April 4, on GMA-7. The cooking-reality game show will test the culinary skills of cook-contestants from all over the country. The contestants are from the auditions that were held in seven key areas in the Philippines – NCR, Pangasinan, Pampanga, Davao , Naga, Cebu and Iloilo .

“The positive response from the auditions shows just how rich our culinary culture and traditions are. This is the show not just for foodies but for every Pinoy,” Program Manager Karen Lumbo said.

The Top 3 from each area will converge in Manila on Day 1 of the "Kitchen Superstar" Showdown. The cook-contestants have to survive various kitchen showdowns to ensure that they emerge as the grand prize winner.

The Kitchen Showdowns - Mega-Showdown, Prize Showdown and Elimination Showdown – will not only test the contestants’ cooking skills but may also stretch them to their physical and/emotional limits. Every week, with the various showdowns, contestants stand to win more prizes and perks.

“One of the things I love about this cooking-reality game show is that it specifically gives a chance to those who have not been professionally trained to cook. These could be people who could not afford culinary training or those who own a simple and humble carinderia; as long as they qualify and have a passion for cooking, they have the chance to compete and pursue their dreams,” Marvin said.

"Kitchen Superstar" will have an interesting mix of judges – from the common carinderia cook to turo-turo regular customers to professional chefs and celebrities. The judges will determine who gets eliminated every week.

Three finalists each from NCR, Pangasinan and Iloilo, while two finalists each from Naga and Davao and one finalist each from Cebu and Pampanga completes the Top 15 of Kitchen Superstar.

TOP 15:

1. Maria Marlene Carlos - NCR
2. Arabella Padilla - NCR
3. Fe Dorina De Paz - NCR
4. Riza Cruz - Pampanga
5. Joer Rosal - Naga
6. Sonny Azarcon - Naga
7. Teresa Lledo - Pangasinan
8. Janice Andaya - Pangasinan
9. Dolph Gonzales - Pangasinan
10. Michael John Nicasio - Cebu
11. Judiel Trogani - Iloilo
12. Red Zamora - Iloilo
13. TJ Temelo - Iloilo
14. Jetro - Davao
15. Ms.Aileen - Davao

By Night Owl on 9:37 PM

Filed Under: ,

Multitalented actress Iza Calzado begins her masquerade in drag as she portrays the character of Tonya/Tonette in GMA Network's addictive romantic-comedy series, I Heart You Pare.

Iza feels very excited on her latest project on primetime and feels honoured that Regine Velasquez personally chose her for the role. She is definitely looking forward to be working again with Dingdong Dantes and the rest of the cast members and production team and most especially the various production numbers and showdowns with the drag queens.

"I have no second thoughts accepting the role when it was offered to me. This is actually my first time to dabble in comedy and I welcome the opportunity to be working with Direk Andoy Ranay for the first time," shares Iza.

This week, viewers get to see Iza in her drag make-up, big wigs and multicoloured stilettos as Tonette who gets involved in a complicated love triangle between Kenneth (Dingdong) and Chito (Mark Anthony Fernandez).

Her predicament piles up even more when Mandy (Ehra Madrigal) discovers her secret affair with Kenneth. This startles everyone, most especially Nikki (Luanne Dy) who still has special feelings for Kenneth.

How will Kenneth handle the controversy on his reported romance with Tonette? Will this revelation completely strain his relationship with Nikki?

I ♥ You Pare airs weeknights after Dwarfina on GMA Telebabad.
