On the same day the former beauty queen’s mother gave an statement on showbiz central, the show in Channel 7 with the same time that the Buzz was airing.

GROWING OLD WITH ‘BOTTOMLINE’

“The Bottonline”has changes the face of one-on-one interviews as it fearlessly touches the most sensitive issues. Host Boy Abunda’s passion for the show cannot be denied. “Ito yung show na gusto kong gawin until I am 70 because this is not attached to age or beauty.” He said. From Hayden Kho’s defender Atty. Lorna Kapunan to Jason Ivler’ mother Marlene Aguilar, “The Bottomline” has grilled the hottest personalities in front of the viewing public with questions from the “Bottomliners.” “The Bottomline” Airs every Saturday on ABS-CBN after the primetime telecast of award winning comedy show “Banana Split.”

Personally, I’ve watched one episode and I liked this and what a coincidence that one of the bottomliners is a school mate of mine during highschool, he’s a freshmen while a senior during those time I met him. And now he’s running for a local government position in our town…

Star Cinema reveals box-office gross of its films in 2009

The films of Star Cinema for 2009 earned a total of P1.135 billion, according to figures provided by ABS-CBN’s film production outfit. PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) met with the Star Cinema executives of Star Cinema—Star AdProm director Roxy Liquigan and Star Cinema & TV Synergy Specialist Mico del Rosario—earlier today, January 15, at the ABS-CBN compound to discuss how their films did last year.

You Changed My Life, the Sarah Geronimo-John Lloyd Cruz-starrer, was once again a Valentine hit with its gross of P208.8 million. Star Cinema has promised that the love story of Laida Magtalas and Miggy Montenegro will continue, with Cathy Garcia-Molina still at the helm, but they have no definite date yet for its release.

Given the fact that Ai-Ai delas Alas starred in three blockbuster hits last year—Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat, BFF (Best Friends Forever), and Ang Tanging Pamilya—there is a big possibility that she will be hailed as the Box-Office Queen. However, that will depend on the criteria set by the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Inc. and whether they will count the gross of Ang Tanging Ina as part of the 2009 movies, or if it should be classified as part of 2008. The three films of Ai-Ai earned a total of P374.5 million.

Del Rosario pointed out that even though Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat was part of the 2008 Metro Manila Film Fest, they still consider this Ai-Ai delas Alas starrer as part of their 2009 lineup. This is because even though the film opened on Christmas day, it had a much longer screening period during the month of January 2009.

Last year, Sarah was hailed as the Box-Office Queen by the GMMSFI for her blockbuster hit A Very Special Love, while her leading man John Lloyd Cruz was named Box-Office King.
