Rapunzel gets a make-over. She doesn’t just wait for Prince Charming at the tower, she ventures “into the outside world for the first time to find him.” Also, Walt Disney gives the classic tale a new title – Tangled. The movie will be released starting November 24, 2010 and I think The Philippines will get the same play date to avoid piracy. LoL! via imdb.com

Immunity Challenge. Magan loses again. They had Elma Muros against Sar Mayee's Akihiro Sato and Nagar's Jon Hall in a challenge that requires physical strength. For the second time, Magan will go to the Tribal Council on Friday. Will that mean Myka Flores will now get eliminated? Hope so. With Sar Mayee and Nagar's win comes a scroll that says they will be fed. So the two tribes go over Nagar's camp with beef for barbeque. Michelle Madrigal is in charge of cooking and she will always take a slice of each meat brought to her and eat it while everyone stares. And then when it is finally time to eat, Michelle says "dahan-dahan sa pagkuha ng beef." As if she hasn't been eating the beef all along. B*tch. We hope she gets evicted soon. After the "party" the Sar Mayee tribe asks if Nagar can donate some of their "pawid" and Jon tells them they can have some of those at the side. But then Moi Marcampo offers more, to the irritation of J

Reward Challenge. They have to stop the leak in the rice container by putting the gears in place and eventually putting the machine (that will plug something into the hole of the container) to work. The price: Well everyone will get to take home the remaining rice from the container provided they are able to stop it from leaking before it runs out of rice, so it's kinda important that they finish the challenge even if they are the last one to finish. The winning tribe will also be able to take back everything that was stolen from them in the previous episode. The second placer will be able to get 3 items from the stuff that was stolen from them, while the loosing tribe will get back nothing. Winner will also get fishing gears and a scroll they can open when they get back to camp. Myka Flores isn't participating due to medical reasons. That leaves Magan with only four members. Nagar has to sit out 1 member, and Sar Mayee, 2. Nagar is the first to finish, with Jon Hall as

Ferds Recio , the veterinarian host of Born To Be Wild , is Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown first boot. (We can’t really consider Princess Snell a first boot because she quit.) During the Tribal Council, only the tribe’s mayor is asked to vote who he wants to boot out. Good thing for Myka Flores because had it been the whole tribe, she could have been the one going home tonight. Doc Ferds’ bossy attitude didn’t serve him well. When host Richard Gutierrez asked him if he was disappointed when he fell short on votes against Jon Hall for being the third tribe leader, he said he’s not. He even related how he signaled the other CAs not to vote for him because he really didn’t want to lead. For him, being a leader means early eviction. “I wanna join the team and help my leader become stronger,” he said. So that’s why he’s always bossing Buhawi Meneses around! Anyway, Pretty Trizsa goes back to the Sar Mayee camp after talking to the castaways’ psychologist. Despite voicing ou

Charice’ s self-titled album has climbed up to the 160th spot of the Billboard Hot 200 after her Oprah guestings have been re-aired last September 1st. The album is expected to climb higher with the airing of Glee’ s second season where she has a recurring guest role of Sunshine Corazon, a Filipino foreign exchange student at the fictitious William McKinley High School.

The tribes receive a tree mail. Food will be brought to their camps but only the tribe’s mayors will be able to eat. Tribe members can also have some if they will do what the mayor asks them to do. Dares range from doing the “helicopter” (where one would have to bend down, point a finger on a fixed spot on the ground and go on circles), make the tribe members laugh, jump around like a kangaroo, etc. Anyway, a disgusting thing happened at the Sar Mayee camp. Everyone is pretty mad at Pretty Trizsa for doing number 2 near the water source. Karen delos Reyes is cursing, obviously the most irritated of them all. She says Trizsa didn’t even use the shovel to dig on the spot where she did number 2. To top it all, Trizsa used the thing they use to get water to wash whatever it is that needs washing after doing number 2. Gross really. And we were having dinner that time. Boo Pretty Trizsa! So when the four sets of food arrived at the Sar Mayee camp, Aira Bermudez (the tribe leader) di

Charice attended the red carpet season premiere party of the hit tv show Glee in California last Tuesday. She says she’s happy that her character Sunshine Corazon (who is a Filipino exchange student at the William McKinley High School) is something much like her in real life. “Sunshine is very, very Charice, simple one, shy type,” she said. Read more about it here . Let’s just hope, though, that this isn’t just a one-hit tv show for her. But then we know Oprah and David Foster are behind her. How can you go wrong with that?

Isla Misteryo explained further. So we see it’s not like the Exile Island. The castaways chosen to go there have the chance to find gold coins which they can use to buy stuff from the Mystery Store found in the same island. What can be found in that store? Many things including food, toiletries, precious items (like pics of their loved ones), and the much desired Immunity Bracelet among others. Anyway, Akihiro Sato , Michelle Madrigal , and Solenn Heussaff are able to find some gold coins, but don’t give in to the temptation of spending those at the store because they might need the coins in a much more important situation than that. I also don’t think, though, that the coins they accumulated are enough to buy them an Immunity Bracelet. The meaning of the tribe names are explained in this episode. Magan is a mystical sea monster. It looks like a giant crocodile and has a mouth of an elephant. Sar Mayee, another mythical creature, looks like an ox with long hair. Nagar

So Willie Revillame is rumored to have a new game show for another network under his very own production company, Wil Productions. To which network, it’s still undisclosed. But the showbiz news article says the game show host has already taped some episodes of the said show. None of his original Wowowee co-hosts will be on the show but there are some who’s going with him. Bentong will that be you? Oh well, read more about it here .

Lady Gaga on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan wearing fresh meat? Oh no! PETA alert!

It’s the CA’s first ever Reward Challenge . But before that, they are divided into three tribes with Buhawi Meneses , Aira Bermudez , and Jon Hall as tribe leaders. It is done in a schoolyard pick where the leader picks one member then that member picks another, and so on. Since Buhawi was the first one declared as tribe leader when he won the very first challenge, he has the privilege to choose a member first. Aira follows, then Jon. But it is done in an alternate way so it’s not so bad. Surprisingly, though, Buhawi pics Solenn Heussaff first. What he sees in Solenn? He says she’s a quiet worker. Oh well, but anyone in his right mind would pick Elma Muros (the fastest woman in Asia), or Ferds Recio (a vet and also an able leader as what he has shown in the previous episodes). Even Jon is surprised that Buhawi didn’t pick Doc Ferds first. But then both the vet and the fastest woman eventually go to Buhawi’s tribe so there are really no regrets. Anyway, Buhawi’s tribe is named

Tonight’s episode is exciting, indeed. After Jon Hall was declared the third tribe leader, Richard Gutierrez brings out a hundred thousand pesos and a challenge for all of them. The challenge: shaving of hair for the girls, and shaving of hair, eyebrows, and body hairs for the guys. Moi Marcampo is the only one among the girls to take the challenge. But there are quite a number of guys willing to get the prize, because aside from the hundred thousand pesos, there’s also those two Immunity Bracelets that are at stake – one for each gender. Since more than one boy are willing to take the challenge, Richard gives them a pre-qualifying round that involves making of fire with a flint to eventually burn a string. Jon, Buhawi Meneses, and Pretty Trizsa are the first three to try the pre-qualifying round. Jon is able to burn his string even before Buhawi and Trizsa are able to make fire. Perhaps seeing from the first batch how hard it is to make fire, other contenders have changed thei

New teaser of the second season of Glee shows Charice singing with Lea Michelle ! Watch: Killer competition! Don’t you just love Charice’s geeky look?

Oh here’s another one! Andi Eigenmann is also on the cover of Metro   magazine ’s September 2010 issue together with Empress Schuck and Erich Gonzales . The cover story tells about the transformation of these young actresses. Seems like September is Andi’s “magazine cover” month.

Andi Eigenmann seems to be frequenting magazine covers as of late. Aside from Chalk September 2010, she’s also on the cover of Cosmopolitan’s issue of the same month. The cover story entitled “Real Beauty” seems to fit the young actress to a T. She appears so fresh these days. The Eigenmann genes make her really stand out from the rest of the young actresses around. You can buy Chalk for only Php 95.00 at any bookstores and newsstands nationwide.

Sarah Geronimo will be on primetime television once again as the lead star of Idol , the newest series of ABS-CBN . She stars alongside Sam Milby and Coco Martin along with Pilipinas Got Talent winner Jovit Baldivino . Also in the cast are Agot Isidro as Laura, Zsa Zsa Padilla as Eleanor, Malou de Guzman as Sharona, Jessa Zaragosa as Marimar, K Brosas as Rosalinda, Marissa Sanchez as Maria Mercedes, Robert Sena , Neil Sese as Samson, Jovit Baldivino, Van Roxas, Emmanuelle Vera and Tippy delos Santos . Aside from the lead cast, we are excited to see Robert Seña, a veteran of Miss Saigon from the original London cast, and Van Roxas, the PDA finalist whom we haven’t seen for a while. It’s also fun to note that Jessa, K, and Marissa are named after the popular telenovela characters of Thalia . With K and Marissa in the cast, this show will surely be a blast. Directed by Ruel Bayani and Jojo Saguin, Idol hits the tube this Monday, September 6, 2010.

The celebrity castaways are able to gather enough shells, crabs, and clams that they put it in an improvised pot made out of a bamboo culm, courtesy of Ferds Recio . After cooking their loot a little under the fire, they gather around it, pray, and eat together as if eating shells are what they normally do. They have no choice, though, and little shells are better than nothing at all. Karen delos Reyes finds a tree mail and read it: Sa kabilang isla may regalo para sa inyo, Dalhin ang buong tribo at pagsaluhan ang mga ito. As excited as they are with food and the word “pagsaluhan” seems like food, some of them guess that it could be another challenge involving eating of live insects. They are wrong, though, because when they reached the island, they find out that there are five live chickens scattered around the mangrove for them to catch. Elma Muros caught the first one, followed by Doc Ferds. Jon Hall easily snatched the third one sitting on a tree branch. They can’t

The Amazing Race Asia , on its fourth season, will have 2 teams from the Philippines: 1. Australian-born and bred bestfriends dubbed as the Party Girls, tattooist Jacinta James (Jess) , 27, and model Lani Pillinger , 27, both “love their adrenaline sports, from jet skiing to sky jumping. The latter was particularly tough for Lani, who took three hours to get over her fear of heights before she finally jumped.” 2. Pro Basketballer Richard Hardin , 34, and actor Richard Herrera , 31, are dubbed as Friends even if they always try to outdo each other be it in sports or dance offs. Speaking of TARA, Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown castaway Aubrey Miles was also a TARA contestant in its first season, paired with her best friend Jacqueline Yu . Unluckily, they were the second to be eliminated. First, though, was also the other Philippine team of Ernie and Jeena. In Season 2, however, the Philippine team of Mark Nelson and Rowilson Fernandez placed third. And in t

Princess Snell talks to the castaways’ psychologist Dr. Ali Gui , and she tells the doctor that she really can’t bear the fact that there’s no food to eat and the harder part of doing challenges with an empty stomach. She wants to quit, reasoning that there’s no point in suffering another night of no food when she can quit now. The celebrity castaways find no Princess at the camp the following morning. They all know the princess has quit, although they all have their own guesses of the reason behind the back-out. Anyway, it seems that three of the castaways want to lead the tribe. Buhawi Meneses is the rightful leader because the scroll he won says so, but Ferds Recio seem to be at it since Day 1, being one of the hosts of Born To Be Wild , a show about the outdoors, and all that, he seems to know it all. But then again, there’s also Jon Hall who has the skills of a tribe leader but he can’t seem to understand that Buhawi is tasked to be the leader. In Jon’s words: “They step

Richard Gutierrez explains the two kinds of challenges in Survivor Philippines - the Reward Challenge , which will make their life in the game easier, and the Immunity Challenge , which can make them stay longer in the game. But for now, the celebrity castaways face their first ever challenge called Apat na Elemento which calls for two winners. The game involves the four elements of nature (apat na elemento) – earth, wind, water, and fire. On Richard’s signal, the castaways will climb a wall where upon reaching the top, will have to jump (air leg) towards the cargo net, roll to the far end and jump down to the ground. They will then run towards the mud pit (water leg) where they will have to get three rings of the same color buried in the mud. After collecting the rings, they will run across a fire pit (fire leg) where flaming coals await their feet. After the fire pit, they will shoot the rings into a pole and they have to shoot all three. If one misses, he will have to go back

KC Concepcion ’s Takipsilim has now a music video that goes with it. Watch:

The celebrity castaways, with the fire and temporary shelter, starts hunting for food. They find just a few oysters which they are already thankful for because there is really nothing to eat. As Mico Aytona says, he won’t really eat those oysters if he had a choice, but for someone who has nothing to eat, those oysters taste so delicious. Unfortunately, Solenn Heussaff has allergies with oysters so she doesn’t eat. Night falls and it starts to rain. The celebs find it hard to sleep under the make-shift roof even with their raincoats on. They also have to protect their fire from getting wet and burning out. The realization of the true nature of the game somehow sinks in with most of them. It is just their first night and they have to sleep under a leaking roof, with raincoats on, fire to protect, and mosquitoes that won’t go away. Ian Batherson , confessing he has been a city slicker all his life and has never camped when he was little, says he’s so prone to mosquito bites bec
