Jericho Rosales has apologized to Jennylyn Mercado after he backed out from their supposed reunion movie “Almost Is Not Enough,” which is an official entry to this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.

Rosales and Mercado first teamed up in the acclaimed movie “Walang Forever” in 2015, for which they won acting awards in the MMFF.

It has since been reported that Derek Ramsay will now play his role in the movie.

In an interview, Rosales explained why he decided not to do the movie, which will be directed again by Dan Villegas.

“Hindi lang ako preparado ngayon. Hindi ko gustong gamitin ‘yung tatay ko or something (but) I just realized na hindi ako prepaado for a project this year. Ang daming nangyari sa akin. Parang nahirapan ako. Nag-iba ang direction ng mga gusto kong gawin,” said Rosales whose father passed away last March.

Rosales, who is ready to work again on his upcoming TV series “Love Will Lead You Back,” admitted that he has already apologized to Mercado and Villegas for what happened.

“I love Dan, I love Jen. I saw Jen yesterday (Tuesday) and briefly I said, ‘Pasensiya na’ at naiintindihan naman nila. I want to apologize to everyone who thought na magkakasama kami ni Jen. Hindi pa naman huli ang lahat. Personally gusto ko makatrabaho si Jen. She’s one of the best actresses na nakarabaho ko, na masarap makasama,” Rosales said.

“Hindi ko lang nakita ang sarili ko doon sa sitwasyon na ‘yon. Alam ko ang sarili ko. It’s not that first time na umartas ako sa proyekto. May panahon na na-offer ako ng somehing at bago mag-roll sasabihin ko hindi ako handa. Ibig sabihin may nangyari sa akin. Ayaw kong maging basura sa set, ayaw kong maging iresponsable, pahirap sa set. I’d rather be honest than pretend na okay ako,” the actor added.(MNS)

Fifty years ago, on February 9, 1964, the Beatles were introduced to America on the Ed Sullivan Show and in order to celebrate, the “Grammy’s Salute to the Beatles” was televised marking the reunion of the remaining Beatles – Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr after their prolonged break-up. As a Beatles fan, this writer was glued on TV and was mesmerized watching the show. The nostalgic musical show started with snippets of childhood memories of the late John Lennon and George Harrison, followed by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. It also looked back at how they were influenced by the rock music of both Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley when they formed the “Fab Four.” Their initial performances on stage placed their songs “Ticket to Ride, “All My Loving,” “’Til There was You” and “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” on top of the billboard charts and Beatlemania albums as well as merchandise flourished worldwide. “The Beatles” live at the Britannia British Pub in Santa Monica. Keith Urban and John Mayer paid tribute by showing their guitar prowess playing a rendition of the Beatles’ song “Don’t Let Me Down.” Thereafter, the  guest appearance of Stevie Wonder playing the jazzy rendition of “We Can Work It Out,” was a standing ovation and on his video testimonial, Stevie recalled that it was “the first Beatle song I heard when I was just 15 years old.” Garbed in a kimono-inspired gown in salmon and black,with her hair in an updo, Katy Perry sang her rendition of “Yesterday,” one Read More …

Gabby Concepcion on long-awaited screen reunion with Sharon Cuneta: ‘I’d like to see that happen’

By Edwin P. Sallan Gabby Concepcion Gabby Concepcion and Sharon Cuneta ended their four-year marriage in 1987. After that, they still managed to appear together on the big screen for the last time in Laurice Guillen’s “Una Kang Naging Akin” in 1991. That was 22 years ago. Still, as far as their fans are concerned, Sharon and Gabby have remained one of the greatest screen couples in Philippine cinema. And yes, the clamor for them to do a long-overdue reunion project is getting louder than ever. Time and again, both Gabby and Sharon have personally expressed their interest to see that project come to fruition. “Alam nyo, gusto kong mapanood ang movie nayan,” Gabby quipped when asked about it again during the recent story conference for his latest television project — TV5’s upcoming supernatural series “Cassandra: Warrior Angel”. In explaining why it has been taking so long for such a project to finally get off the ground, Gabby explains that they’re still looking for the right material for it. “I always believe that any project starts with a good story. If you have a good story, you can also branch out with good sub-stories. Right now, I still don’t know kung anong klaseng story ang puwede naming gawin. Is it going to be a drama or a comedy? What is it? I do have an idea but I don’t want to say it yet. But yes, we’re still open to suggestions,” he declared. He said he has discussed such a Read More …
