Vice Ganda Spoofed Dyesebel On Gandang Gabi Vice (GGV)

Vice Ganda spoofed Anne Curtis' “Dyesebel” as one of the highlights in his talk show “Gandang Gabi Vice”.



As shown on the spoof, Vice Ganda was sitting along with Dyesebel by the beach.

They were both mermaids and Dyesebel rubbed the magical shell on her tail and it turned into human legs. Vice Ganda was amazed by what he saw and asked Dyesebel if he can also try it on his tail.

Dyesebel then handed the magical shell to him and he started to rub in on his tail. What happened next shocked Vice Ganda because instead of just having two legs, he also had hair all over his body just like the character of Meg Imperial in the TV series “Moon of Desire.”

Krista Miller Caught Visiting Ricardo Camata in Hospital

Actress Krista Miller is back in the news this morning, June 5, 2014 due to her visit with convicted drug lord and Sigue-Sigue Sputnik leader Ricardo Camata at a hospital. Last year, she was tagged as the third party in the separation of actress Sunshine Cruz and action star-turned movie director Cesar Montano.



Based on Sunshine’s allegation, her daughters’ read some of the text messages sent by Krista Miller to her husband Cesar Montano. After reading the report, Krista came out and denied the allegation of Sunshine, she said she was just doing a movie with Cesar and there was no issue between her and the actor-director.

Again that was a year ago, today, she is in the middle of another controversy involving Ricardo Camata, the convicted drug lord who was permitted by NBP Chief Supt. Lansangan to seek medical attention outside the NBP. Reports said Supt. Lansangan by passed Sec. Leila De Lima when he decided to allow Ricardo Camata to go out of the NBP even without the permission of the Department of Justice.

Several hours ago, through TV Patrol, the popular news program in the Philippines which airs on ABS-CBN, Krista Miller’s showbiz manager revealed that the starlet will issue a statement regarding her controversial visit to the convicted drug lord at a hospital. In case you missed the report of Korina Sanchez on TV Patrol, you can visit abs-cbnnews.com to watch the CCTV footage gathered and presented by the Department of Justice to the viewing public.

Incidentally, DOJ Undersecretary Baraan revealed that aside from Ricardo Camata, several high profile inmates are also doing the same thing. Based on his allegation, Boratong and Colangco also went out of the NBP and treated in two different hospitals in the metro even without the permission of the Department of Justice. Reports said Camata’s two security groups were immediately fired because of the incident.

The Legal Wife Finale Trailer Released

A trailer for the highly anticipated finale of "The Legal Wife" shows highlights from the top-rating series since its debut in January.



The two-minute video, which was first telecast after the May 30 episode of "The Legal Wife," traces the love story of Adrian which is played by Jericho Rosales and Monica which is played by Angel Locsin as well as her close friendship with Nicole which is played by Maja Salvador.

The montage transitions to memorable moments from the show, including Monica's discovery of the affair, her confrontations with Adrian and Nicole, the revelation of Nicole's pregnancy, and the much-talked-about brawl between the wife and the mistress.

The trailer also shows recent scenes from "The Legal Wife" -- Monica's legal steps to end her marriage, and her encounter with Nicole two years after they both gave birth to their respective kids with Adrian.

Since it premiered early this year, "The Legal Wife" has steadily increased its viewership nationwide, according to Kantar Media.

Its pilot episode on January 27 got 21% in national TV ratings. In April, the series averaged 23.5%. For the month of May, its average audience share soared to 26%.

Directed by Rory Quintos and Dado Lumibao, "The Legal Wife" also stars JC de Vera, Matet de Leon, Rio Locsin, Mark Gil, and Christopher de Leon. It airs weeknights after "Ikaw Lamang" during ABS-CBN's primetime block.

Sarah Geronimo Named “Best-Selling Filipino Artist” at the 2014 World Music Awards

Filipina singer Sarah Geronimo was honored during the 22nd edition of the World Music Awards held in Monaco last May 27.

Sarah won in the Best-selling Filipino Artist category during the star-studded ceremony that took place at the Monte Carlo Sporting Club.

The Popstar Princess is one of 20 artists from several countries in the world—including the United States, Great Britain, China, and Korea—who received the award.

The World Music Awards, which returns after a three-year hiatus, recognizes the top music acts from around the globe.

The awarding ceremony featured performances of world-renowned artists including Grammy-winning singer Mariah Carey who received the Pop Icon Award for having sold over 200 million records. She also received a special award for being the Best-selling Singles Artist in America.

Miley Cyrus, who was nominated for 14 categories in total for the ceremony, won Best Pop Video for "Wrecking Ball" and Best Female Act.

One Direction, the boy band that is slated to perform in the Philippines by 2015, won awards for being the World’s Best-selling Group, World’s Best-selling Pop Act and Best-selling British Act.

Han Geng, who used to be a member of South Korean boy band Super Junior, won the World's Best Male Artist award as voted by fans. 

Meanwhile, the K-pop boy band EXO earned an award for being the Best-selling Korean Act.

The World Music Awards were founded by Prince Albert II of Monaco in 1989. According to its official website, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) provides the organization with the names of the best-selling artists from the major record buying territories.
