Now that Angel Locsin won’t be playing the Filipino superhero Darna in the much-awaited movie from director Erik Matti, the hunt is on for the next actress to don the iconic red-and-gold costume.

Fans of Sarah Geronimo, for one, are eager to see their idol in the role.

But the singer-actress just gave out a hearty laugh when asked about playing Darna.

“Eh ‘di wow! Gusto ninyo bang makakita ng Darna na naka-jumpsuit?” she quipped.

Geronimo believes something else is meant for her and the much-talked about role is not one of them. “Hindi po totoo ‘yan. Popsters lang ang may gusto niyan,” she said, referring to her fans.

Meanwhile, Geronimo admitted feeling anxious as she and her fellow coaches gear up for the blind auditions of “The Voice Teens.”

“Mag-start na po kami mag-taping. Kinakabahan ako. Challenge po kasi talaga sa akin umupo sa red chair na ‘yun. Pero I promised to myself na mag-e-enjoy ako this time. Ayaw ko to put so much pressure on myself,” she said.

“Iba pa rin talaga [ang pressure sa coach]. Kasi kami ang nagde-decide who stays sa competition. Mahirap [hind imaging emotionally involved] pero I will do my best,” she added.

As a returning coach, Geronimo’s only goal is to be instrumental in the journey of an aspiring talented artist.(MNS)

Yam Concepcion slams uploads of sex scene in porn sites

Yam Concepcion (MNS photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) — “I am not a bold star. I am a sexy actress.” These were the words of Yam Concepcion in reacting to the uploading of her sex scene in the Erik Matti film “Rigodon” on pornographic websites, which she said was “more than surprising.” The Kapamilya actress is set to star in ABS-CBN’s adaptation of the Korean TV series “Pure Love”. According to Concepcion, a sex scene between her and “Rigodon” co-star John James Uy is now making the rounds in adult websites similar to video-streaming platform YouTube. “Medyo nakakabastos kasi ‘yung ibang comments na naririnig ko. Parang nakakabastos sa art na ginawa ng direktor namin na si Erik Matti. This wasn’t a joke when we did the movie,” Concepcion said. “Pinaghirapan po namin ito and it was well thought of. I believe it was tastefully done naman. I think they should respect that also.” Produced by Viva Films, “Rigodon” was the launching movie of Concepcion as the film outfit’s new “sex goddess.” Released in November 2012, it starred her as 25-year-old Sarah Dilag, whose one-night stand with a married man portrayed by Uy leads to a murderous encounter with his wife. “Hindi naman siya porn, e,” Concepcion said. “It’s a movie. It’s an adult drama movie. Medyo may ibang interpretation lang ‘yung ibang tao na baka sabihin nila gano’n.” “I am not a bold star. I am a sexy actress. I get paid to act, right? I don’t sell my body.” (MNS)
