ABS-CBN has just released another new full trailer of the upcoming Maria la del Barrio which stars one of the hottest love teams today - Erich Gonzales on the title role and Enchong Dee as Luis Fernando.
The new trailer shows the viewers more of the story line. And I'm excited about K Brosas' role as one of the maids. Paw Diaz I think makes a good kontrabida.
Watch Maria la del Barrio's new trailer below.

The last album to produce four number ones on Hot 100 was Usher's 2004 album Confessions. And the only other solo female artist to have that record is Mariah Carey with her self-titled debut album in 1990-91.

So even monsters have a prequel!
We loved Sully and Mike in Monsters, Inc. but do we know when and where they met? That's what we will find out in the prequel as the story goes back to their college days at the Monsters University.
At the annual CinemaCon convention, Dave Hollis, Disney's executive vice president for worldwide distribution, tells theater owners that the film will be about how Sully and Mike could not stand each other and how they overcame each other's differences.
John Goodman and Billy Crystal will also return as the voices of Sully and Mike respectively.
Titled Monsters University, the movie is set for a late 2012 release.

But Cristine remained silent through it all. And now that she's talking, she still wouldn't want to talk more about the issue.
“Ayoko na, masyadong showbiz. Huwag na nating haluan ng pagka-showbiz yung pagbabati namin kaya mas minabuti kong huwag munang magpa-interview. Masaya ako, iwan na lang natin ‘yun doon. Maging masaya na lang kayo para sa amin,” the sexy actress said.
Meanwhile, she has an upcoming drama series on ABS-CBN, and says she's excited about his leading man whose identity she won't yet reveal. Cristine says they have already done a workshop together and she's now quite comfortable with him.
Who is this leading man? We will find it out for sure soon.

Still on the March 12 episode of TV5's Willing Willie where a six-year-old boy named Jan-Jan was seen doing a "macho dancing routine," the Commission on Human Rights Chairperson Loretta Rosales has already expressed its concerns through a press statement dated March 29, 2011. It reads:
"The Commission on Human Rights strongly condemns the Willing Willie episode aired on March 12, 2011 wherein a 6-year old boy named Jan-Jan Suan performed a 'macho-dancing routine.' This is an exploitation of the child's innocence and demeans his inherent dignity for entertainment's sake.
"The multiple pressures exerted on Jan-Jan by the TV program's host, audience, and his parents to perform a humiliating act in exchange for ten thousand pesos constitute child abuse as defined in Section 10 of R.A. No. 7610 or 'Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act. It provides that:
"Other Acts of Neglect, Abuse, Cruelty or Exploitation and Other Conditions Prejudicial to the Child's Development. -
"(a) Any person who shall commit any other acts of child abuse, cruelty or exploitation or to be responsible for other conditions prejudicial to the child's development including those covered by Article 59 of Presidential Decree No. 603, as amended, but not covered by the Revised Penal Code, as amended, shall suffer the penalty of prison mayor in its minimum period.
"The willingness of Jan-Jan's parents to expose him, both in private and public, to a humiliating and degrading situation is child abuse. The Commission is also deeply alarmed that the abuse suffered by Jan-Jan was seen on national television and that its videos are being repeatedly watched by the public, including children.
"The Commission will investigate this incident in order to identify the person/s liable and to recommend proper legal actions against them. The Commission will also issue recommendations to relevant private, especially TV5, and public agencies in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again. The Commission also calls upon the relevant government offices such as the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, and the Department of Justice to undertake the appropriate actions to address this incidence of child abuse and to provide the necessary relief to Jan-Jan."
Aiza Seguerra recently reacted over Twitter concerning Willing Willie's child abuse issue on the March 12 episode of the show where a child named Jan-Jan did a snake dancing routine for his talent.
Aiza has an answer on Willie Revillame's statement saying, “Sa mga nagti-tweet na mga artista, tumigil na kayo. Tumulong na lang kayo sa kapuwa.”
The former child star tweeted: “Hindi lahat ng tao kaya mong takutin, patalsikin, paikutin, bilugin at patahimikin.”
But before that, Aiza had said (also on Twitter): “Willie R, kelan ka pa kaya matututo?” and “Ilang beses ka nang nag-apologize, pero nagbago ka ba?”
ABS-CBN's Showtime offered a prayer for the three Filipino drug couriers executed in China Monday morning of March 30, 2011. Kim Atienza led the prayer with the hosts of the show standing at the center of the stage.
After the prayer, Kuya Kim asked everyone to observe a minute of silence and pray for the souls of Sally Ordinario-Villanueva, Ramon Credo, and Elizabeth Batain who were all convicted of drug trafficking and executed earlier via lethal injection.
Malacañang Palace confirmed the execution via Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda.
"The nation sympathized with the families of the condemned, sharing their sense of looming loss. We sympathize with these families now. Their deaths are a vivid lesson in the tragic toll the drug trade takes on entire families," Lacierda said.
The 3 were arrested carrying packages of at least 4 kilograms of heroin in 2008. They were convicted and sentenced death penalty in 2009.
Despite numerous pleas by the Philippine government to China, the People's Republic seemed unmoved and determined to carry out its law.
To the families of the condemned, the blogger extends his condolences. It's not easy to lose a loved one, especially on the terms that they went through. But may what happened inspire us more to value life, and may we learn from it as well.

TV5 and Willie Revillame himself apologized to the public for their March 12 episode featuring the snake dancing kid, Jan-Jan. The kid and his parents were Willie's guests on his show Willing Willie last night.
Jojo, the father, says that Jan-Jan has been through and won different contests in school and even in SM performing the snake dance to the tune of Careless Whisper, the song popularized by the Hayden Kho-Katrina Halili video scandal. It's also interesting to note that Hayden danced the same snake dance on parts of those video.
The father goes on to say that it's his son's choice to perform such, and that his son doesn't see anything wrong with that kind of dance. We wonder what their roles as parents are. The kid is so young he needs to be taught what is proper and what is not.
But whatever explanation they say about the issue, it still goes back to the fact that "the show tends to cash in on the plight of the poor." And as the DSWD Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman stated further in her letter to TV5, "There are other ways of helping the poor without having to degrade their dignity and earn money out of it."
The first poster of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 has just been released by Warner Bros Pictures. In the poster, Harry Potter and Voldemort comes face-to-face, like every fan of the movie anticipates.
Sadly, this is the last of the Harry Potter series. As the poster says, "It All Ends 7.15" as July 15th is the showing date.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will be released 2D and 3D formats.
Helen Mirren (The Queen) joined a long list of celebrity hand and foot prints by sinking her hands and feet in wet cement in the courtyard of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood last Monday.
Helen was introduced to the event by Russell Brand, her co-star in the movie, Arthur, which opens April 8th. The movie also stars Jennifer Garner and Greta Gerwig.
In the movie, Russell Brand plays an irresponsible billionaire named Arthur Bach. He has always relied on two things to get by: (1) his limitless fortune; and (2) the good sense of his lifelong nanny named Hobson (Helen Mirren) to keep him out of trouble.
Arthur takes the most expensive risk in his life and finally learns what it means to become a man when he faces the biggest challenge in his life – choosing between an arranged marriage that would ensure his lavish lifestyle or an uncertain future with the only woman he has ever loved (Greta Gerwig).
Despite Jodi Sta. Maria's silence regarding the rumors that she and husband Panfilo 'Pampi' Lacson, Jr. are now separated, her father-in-law Panfilo Lacson (who recently went out of hiding to avoid arrest in the Dacer-Corbito double murder case) confirmed the rumors during an interview on DZMM, a radio station owned by ABS-CBN.
"Oo hiwalay na nga sila," the older Lacson answered when asked about the state of his son's marriage. He, though, refused to give further details.
Jodi is still silent about the matter. They have been surrounded by the separation rumors as early as two years after they got married in 2005. Jodi, though, denied that Pampi was physically abusing her.
Willie Revillame does it again. Even on the defunct Wowowee, we really didn't agree on how, most of the times, the poor were ridiculed and used "just for laughs." And now on his current show on TV5, Willing Willie, he faces controversy by ridiculing a child named Jan-Jan.
Fist, Willie scared the poor kid by calling onstage the has-been PBA player, Bonel Balingit, who's so big and tall that the mere sight of him induced tears from Jan-Jan. Jan-Jan was still crying when he performed his talent which was snake dancing. The audience laughed and cheered because if you don't know what snake dancing is, it's the kind of dance performed in gay bars.
To top it off, Willie was so happy he made Jan-Jan repeat the dance! He could have escaped the issue by saying he didn't know the kid would perform that kind of dance. But he didn't even stop the performance, and worse, he made the kid do it again.

It's that time of the year again. For the past two years, the Philippines topped thousands of cities from around the world in turning off the lights for one hour as an act to save the environment.
This year, the World Wildlife Fund encourages us again to turn off our lights for one full hour starting 8:30 PM up to 9:30 PM tonight, March 26, 2011.
But our concern for the environment shouldn't end when we turn the lights back on at 9:30 PM. WWF is encouraging us to do more for the environment than just that. We should be responsible citizens and be more involved in saving Mother Nature.

ABS-CBN will launch its summer station ID called Bida Best sa Tag-araw this Sunday, March 27, on ASAP Rocks, which will be broadcast live from the city of Cebu.
Here's a sneak peek of the station's summer campaign:
Anne Curtis is in a summer mood in a purple tank top and denim short shorts, blowing a sweet kiss our way!
The theme is sung by Star Power winner Angeline Quinto and the Filipino-German Vincent Bueno featuring the rapper J.O.L.O.
Love Rose de Leon and Niño Anglo wrote the song which was arranged and produced by Marcus Davis.
Bida Best sa Tag-araw is directed by Richard Ang and Paolo Ramos.
The Philippine Azkals won against Bangladesh with a 3-0 score, placing them in the top 2 of the Group A. The team is now qualified for the 2012 Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup.
The first goal was scored by Ian Araneta and the remaining two goals were by Angel Guirado Aldeguer.
Many Pinoys were actually quite confident that the Azkals would win the match because Bangladesh proved weakest when it was defeated by Palestine and Myanmar in their first two games.
The Azkals, though undefeated, was able to sum up 5 points from the three games they played in the group qualifying tournament. They got 1 point each for draw games against both Myanmar and Palestine. Luckily, they won against Bangladesh giving them 3 points.
Palestine, also undefeated, only had 1 draw game, and that's the game against the Azkals. They won against Bangladesh and Myanmar giving them a total of 7 points.
As of the moment, the countries that qualify for the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup are:
Group A – Palestine and Philippines
Group B – India and Turkmenistan
Group C – Maldives and Tajikistan
There will be 8 teams that will qualify but the top 2 from Group D are still not determined.
Only the 8 qualified teams for the tournament proper can bid to host the finals. [Wiki]
It would have been great if the Philippines had at least one state-of-the-art football field in Manila. I'm kinda sure we can't host the finals.
Members of the Philippine football team will be back in Manila on Sunday. I'm sure there'd be much media hype and a lot of sponsored victory parties for them. They have a year left before the finals. Let's just hope Neil Etheridge would be available to play by then.
It was quite a surprise that Casey Abrams became part of the Bottom 3, but what's more surprising was that he almost got eliminated if not for the Judges Save. The three judges – Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler – had a unanimous decision to let Casey's journey on American Idol continue.
Filipino-American Thia Megia and Italian-American Stefano Langone were the other two in the Bottom 3. It's Thia's first time to be in danger of elimination while Stefano almost didn't make it after the Top 24. Thanks to the wildcard.
Thia was the first to be sent back to the couch, and the contestants and judges, as well as the audience, were so shocked when the 20-year-old Casey was announced to be the one in danger of facing elimination.
Casey was asked to sing but Randy Jackson stopped him by waving his hand. The judge said, "Listen, we know who you are, Casey. We don't need to hear you sing anymore."
And by that, the audience and the remaining contestants cheered for the judges' decision to save Casey Abrams.

A magnitude 6.8 earthquake hit Myanmar (Burma) on Thursday night, March 24, 2011. It was felt as far as 479 miles away in Bangkok, Thailand
The epicenter was reported to be in a relatively rural part of the country that borders on China, Laos, and Thailand.
Unlike the recent earthquake in Japan, the Myanmar earthquake poses very little risk of creating a tsunami because the epicenter is so far inland.
A screenshot from earthquake.usgs.gov:
The Philippine Azkals, who are currently in Yangon, Myanmar for the AFC Challenge Cup group qualifying tournament, were reported to be in the 9th floor of a hotel building when the earth shook. Anton Del Rosario tweeted he even thought it was vertigo. Luckily they are all safe as per report by sportscaster Dyan Castillejo who is currently with the Azkals in Myanmar.
The Azkals were also in Japan during the March 11 earthquake. They spent a number of days there to practice in cold weather before they headed to Mongolia for the second leg of their pre-qualifying match.
As Anton Del Rosario joked in the same tweet, could the earthquake really be following them?
Britney Spears' new album, Femme Fatale, is coming out in 6 days. And new promo pics taken from the singer's said album have been released on the internet.
For Femme Fatale, Britney Spears worked with Max Martin (...Baby One More Time) and Dr. Luke (Circus). The two are responsible for seven out of the twelve songs included in the album.
Femme Fatale will be released March 29th, and judging by the rave reviews the album is getting, it's definitely going to be a hit.
Rolling Stone says it "may be Britney's best album" but also says it's her "strangest" and that her voice in almost all of the songs are "twisted, shredded, processed, and roboticized" but considers it a plus because Britney "doesn't have much of a voice." (Read the review here.)

Although still on probation for the Rihanna beating, Chris Brown seemed to break the law again when he smashed the window of his dressing room after his performance and interview with Robin Roberts for Good Morning America.
TMZ reports that Chris Brown's outrage was triggered by Robin's questions regarding the infamous Rihanna incident. The singer tried to redirect the questions to focus on his album F.A.M.E. but that didn't stop Robin from asking Rihanna-related matters.
After the interview, Chris Brown allegedly "exploded in rage" before storming out of the dressing room shirtless. On his way out, the singer reportedly "confronted a segment producer, got in his face and stared him down" that he had to be stopped by people from the show.
Chris Brown was supposed to do another performance that morning for the ABC website.
Below is a picture of the ABC studio's shattered glass window that was allegedly shattered by Chris Brown.

Although new in the acting scene, Mikael Daez says showbiz is not really new to him for he had been doing print and commercial modeling for quite some time now.
Mikael had been cast as one of Marian Rivera's leading men in the upcoming GMA-7 epicserye Amaya. But before the epicserye airs, the model-turned-actor will be first seen in the weekly comedy show Spooky Nights Presents: Bampirella which also stars the GMA primetime queen. It will air its pilot episode on Saturday, March 26, at 7:30 PM.
Mikael says he's very honored to be working with Marian. In an interview with igma.tv, the 22-year-old hunk says, "Siyempre [of course], I’m nervous. Anlaki ng role [It's a big role], I’m with Marian Rivera, sobrang sikat na niya [she's already a big star], she’s amazing. She’s an amazing actress. So there’s a lot of pressure, but at the same time, exciting.”
Mikael Daez is a true-blooded Atenean, having studied in Ateneo de Manila University from grade school until he graduated with a degree in BS Business Administration. He has appeared in various TVCs like Dole, SM, and Jollibee Champ.
Pia Toscano has been on the top of the competition since the Top 13, belting out diva songs week after week. For the Motown Week, the Italian-American chose Stevie Wonder's 1973 hit, All in Love is Fair.
If there's a judge's comment about Pia that kinda stuck to my mind, it's Randy Jackson's "You can't live by ballads alone." Pia has a good vocal technique that makes reaching those big notes seem effortless. But just like what Randy said, she needs to do something else.
Aren't you getting tired of Pia's ballads this early in the game?
Watch Pia sing Stevie Wonder's All in Love is Fair after the jump.
Stefano Langone did his own rendition of Lionel Richie's 1984 hit, Hello, on American Idol 10's Top 11 Performance Night. It can be recalled that David Cook's version of the same song was one of the most popular during season seven, but Stefano was brave enough to sing it and not seem to be worried a bit that there might be a comparison between him and the season seven winner.
The Italian-American still couldn't seem to keep his eyes from closing when singing despite numerous reminders from judge Jennifer Lopez about it. Randy Jackson, on the other hand, noticed that despite the good voice, there's no real connection between Stefano and the audience.
Watch the video after the jump and judge if Stefano's is better than David Cook's version of Lionel Richie's Hello.
Maria la del Barrio lead star Erich Gonzales is Chalk magazine's covergirl for the summer month of April 2011. And although she doesn't look summer-y with the outfit, she's so elegant with upswept hair showing us her pretty face done with in a somewhat clean look.

Paul McDonald sang The Miracles' 1965 hit Tracks of My Tears during the Performance Night of American Idol 10 wherein the contestants have to do a Motown song.
Randy Jackson especially liked the tenderness in Paul's voice during end of the song. While Jennifer Lopez said he's kinda the complete package and that all he needs is a good producer and "there you go."
Watch Paul McDonald's performance of The Miracles' song Tracks of My Tears after the jump.
Thia Megia sang Martha and the Vandellas' 1963 song Heatwave during the Motown Week of American Idol 10's Top 11 Performance Night.
The past couple of weeks had been hard for the Filipino-American contestant. The judges wanted the see more from her other than just doing ballads.
Heatwave is a little uptempo and the judges actually liked that the 16-year-old singer took the risk, although they all agreed that Thia needs to dig a little bit more deeper.

Clash of the Titans 2 has already started its principal photography. Being directed by Jonathan Liebesman, shooting is being done on location in studios outside London and eventually in Surrey, South Wales and in the island of Tenerife (Spanish Canary Islands).
Cast includes Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, Danny Huston as Poseidon, Edgar Ramirez as Ares, Bill Nighy as Hephaestus, Toby Kebbell as Agenor, and Rosamund Pike as Andromeda.
Synopsis:
“A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius.
Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.
Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth.
Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.”
Clash of the Titans 2 is a Thunder Road Film presented by Warner Bros. Pictures, in association with Legendary Pictures. The movie is being co-produced by Furia de Titanes II, A.I.E. and COTT Productions and will be distributed in 3D and 2D worldwide by Warner Bros. Entertainment Companies.
Just like the game between the Azkals and Myanmar, it seems that the Philippine football team fans will just have to do with updates coming from those who are watching the Azkals vs Palestine's game live in Myanmar.
Myanmar is so strict when it comes to the international media that despite various attempts by ABS-CBN, they still won't stream the game to our country.
ABS-CBN Sports posted in its Facebook wall:
Philippines vs. Palestine will not be aired live. Myanmar Ministry of Information denied the request for the live satellite feed for ALL Azkal matches.
And later they posted this:
ABS-CBN Sports rep, who was in Myanmar last Mon., said that MRTV did not even air the match live in Myanmar as per regulations imposed by Myanmar Ministry of Info. DO NOT believe live-streaming sites.
Imagine that! They're so strict they didn't even air the games live it Myanmar!
I'm kinda sure every netizen would be on Twitter later to cheer for the Azkals and get live updates from sports journalists especially from Dyan Castillejo's Twitter page.
But even if we cannot watch the game live from our country, we can still watch the delayed telecast of the games on Studio 23.
But it's so delayed that the Azkals vs Myanmar's game last March 21 will still have to be shown tonight (March 23) at 10:15 PM on Studio 23.
I guess we just have to respect whatever rules they have in Myanmar and just have to do with the live telecasts.
Dyan Castillejo tweeted a while back that the Azkals were having a meeting and gave us a clue as to the first 11 lineup. Dyan tweeted:
"team meeting now...i believe first 11 will be johnsson,gier,alibor,antondelro,lucena,simgreatwich,jamesyoung,chiefy,anghel,ianaraneta niel"
Well, that would be Ray Jonsson, Rob Gier, Alexander Borromeo, Anton del Rosario, Jerry Lucena, Simon Greatwich, James Younghusband, Chieffy Caligdong, Angel Guirado Aldeguer, Ian Araneta, and Neil Etheridge.
That said, let's head over to Twitter and cheer for the Azkals. I hope they trend today, but more importantly, I hope they win!
