Have you seen the teaser of the upcoming fantaserye NOAH from ABS-CBN starring Piolo Pascual and Zaijan Jaranilla aka Santino? It is obviously copied from James Cameron’s Avatar! What a shame!

I don’t know why teleserye writers keep on copying stories from popular movies. Avatar to NOAH. When you see the teaser, the first thing you’d think of is Avatar! Except the Zaijan’s people is color pink while in Avatar it’s blue. There are also soldiers where Piolo belongs. Sigh.

I just wish these writers will come up with a teleserye not copied from a Hollywood movie or an adaptation of a popular komiks or Tagalog romance novel!

Lovers in Paris is a Korean drama about a girl who met the man of her dreams in Paris. The Koreanovela, as the K-dramas are called locally, was a big hit when it was shown here in ABS-CBN. It is now Tagalized, adapted to Tagalog in the same tv network. The show itself is a far cry from the original version. The K-drama had a more cohesive storyline while the Tagalized version is a bit more haphazard. Pilit ba.

KC Concepcion should undergo acting workshops. She’s way too slapstick in her comedy and her acting is bad. She’s too mahangin (literally) when she speaks and ang OA sobra! Someone should tell her that she’s not funny and can never be funny. She’s not bagay to play a mahaderang working student. And pwede ba, yung mga scenes where she’s wearing only a towel… hay naku! Yun lang!

Funny ba siya? More like trying to funny but failing!

Piolo Pascual is gorgeous as ever and is the only one holding the cast together. Magaling na actor talaga! Although in some scenes where he’s supposed to be mad at KC over something, ang OA ng dating because he’s trying to be mad and poker faced at the same time. And ang OA ng lines ha. Para siyang bading na pumapatol sa babae. But since he’s papa P, okay na rin lang. You can forgive him for overacting a bit kasi he’s so gorgeous to look at.

And Zanjoe Marudo… can someone tell ABS-CBN bigwigs to stop giving this guy lead roles and instead enroll him in extensive acting workshops with KC! At someone tell him to take a bath and shave! Ang baho niya tignan! Promise! I can’t see what other girls see in this guy. Halos magpakaloka pa si Bianca Gonzales sa kanya before di ba? But he looks like he hasn’t showered in ages! Ang dungis ha!

All in all, with the three lead actors, the only salvation for this Koreanovela remake is the setting which is Paris. Other than that, good luck with getting annoyed whenever you watch it.

I don’t know if it’s just me but have you noticed how Angel Locsin is being pushed to different big named actors of ABS-CBN? First, it’s Piolo Pascual. Have you seen an episode of Lobo? Corny grabe! Now, it’s Diether Ocampo and Sam Milby via the Koreanovela remake, Only You. The network giant is forcing the viewing public to buy the supposed chemistry between Angel and her leading man/men but it’s just not there. I suggest they find the perfect partner for her first or let her do a teleserye where she need not have a love interest. Masyadong pilit kasi!

But there’s no denying the fact that Angel has come a long way since her Kapuso days. Acting-wise, she’s better now than in her Mulawin days. Even critics are praising her improved acting skills.

And she can’t complain about not being known abroad anymore. Remember her London stint? Nobody knew her then! Now, I just hope she’s ready to get mobbed when she go to places abroad where there’s TFC.

Vicki Belo, renowned cosmetic surgeon here in the Philippines, was interviewed at Showbiz Central yesterday and she apparently said something insulting about Boy Abunda, talk show host, talent manager and the image model of the Belo Medical Group‘s main competitor, Calayan Surgicenter, to this effect…

If you want to look like Boy Abunda, go to Calayan. If you want to look like Dingdong Dantes and Piolo Pascual, go to Belo.

Ouch!

Vicki Belo said that it was just a joke! But in tonight’s Showbiz News Ngayon episode, Boy Abunda was asked by Kris Aquino about that statement and he emotionally reacted to it. He was hurt, according to him and his mom even called him up asking if he did something wrong to Vicki Belo that’s why she’s making him a laughingstock. He tearfully stated that he never did anything wrong to Vicki Belo so he doesn’t know where this is coming from.

Tsk tsk tsk

Another word war coming up!
