TV-movie soundtrack is first in a year to pull threepeat at #1.
By Gil Kaufman

Ah, to be young, cute and totally crushing it on TV and the charts. In a year when holding on for two weeks is rare, the kids of “High School Musical 2” will pull off a rare threepeat (the first of the year) next week. The soundtrack to “HSM 2″ tops the Billboard album chart again with sales of almost 210,000, according to SoundScan. Though Zac Efron and the crew will likely take a tumble the next go-’round — when Kanye West, 50 Cent and Kenny Chesney duke it out for the top spot — they can still take pride in zooming to 1.1 million sold since the soundtrack debuted August 14. » Read the rest of the entry..

Kinakitaan ng excitement ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Dingdong Dantes sa first time niyang pagrampa sa Cosmo Bachelor Bash na gagawin sa NBC Tent sa Huwebes, September 6.

Ang young actor ang cover ng supplement ng September 2007 issue ng Cosmopolitan at siguradong siya ang aabangan ng majority ng pupunta sa nasabing okasyon.

Sa panayam ng PEP kay Dingdong sa set ng Marimar sa Punta de Uian, San Antonio, Zambales, kahapon, September 3, hindi nito maitago ang kanyang tuwa.

Isa sa mga inalam nito ay kung anong crowd ang usually nanonood sa mga ganitong tipo ng palabas. Ang ganda ng ngiti ni Dingdong sa birong lalake, babae, bading, yuppies, matrona, bata, at matanda ang asahan niyang makakakita ng kanyang four-pack abs.

Ayon sa ilang eyewitness, hubo’t hubad daw talaga si Dingdong sa kanyang pictorial at plaster lang daw ang nakatakip sa maselang bahagi ng katawan ng young actor.

Paano nga ba siya nakumbinsing mag-pictorial ng ganun ka-sexy at daring? Ano ang ginawa niyang paghahanda?

“Naimbitahan ako at umokey ang schedule ko, so why not? Ang alam ko, si Richard [Gutierrez] ay nag-cover na rin sa supplement. Hindi lang naman ako ang Kapuso stars na rarampa, makakasama ko sina Alfred Vargas at Paolo Paraiso. Thankful ako sa Marimar at sa role kong si Sergio dahil naimbitahan ako dahil doon,” sabi ni Dingdong.

“Paano ko pinaghandaan? Workout at ingat sa pagkain. Ang hirap lang i-maintain para huwag akong tumaba uli. Nilagang itlog at kamote ang lagi kong kinakain. Lagi akong may baong kamote,” dagdag na kuwento ni Dingdong. Saksi ang PEP na nilagang itlog ang merienda niya habang ang mga kasama niya sa Marimar ay turon, banana cue, at camote cue ang kinain.

Mula nang pumayat, iniwasan na raw ni Dingdong na kumain ng beef at pork. Fish na ang favorite viand niya ngayon at tumigil na rin siya sa pag-inom ng alak na hilig daw niya noon. Sa halip, Gatorade ang nakita ng PEP na nilaklak nito na pang-flush out daw kung anuman ang dapat maalis sa kanyang sistema. - Philippine Entertainment Portal

Kinumpirma sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ng isang involved sa production ng horror film na Dagaw ang balitang si Marvin Agustin na ang papalit kay Ryan Agoncillo sa naturang pelikula ng GMA Films.

Late this month naka-schedule mag-shooting si Marvin, na pang-sixth replacement na sa nasabing role na makakalaban ni Richard Gutierrez.

Bago napunta ang role kay Marvin ay dumaan muna ito kina Dennis Trillo, Jericho Rosales, Dingdong Dantes, Diether Ocampo, at Ryan. Sari-saring rason kung bakit hindi natuloy ang mga nabanggit, pero karamihan sa kanila ay dahil sa conflict of schedule.

Bago pa man i-offer kay Ryan ang role na Thomas, nagpakita na ng interes si Marvin na mapasama sa project ni Direk Chito Roño para sa GMA Films. Ngayong sa kanya na ito natuloy, siguradong tuwang-tuwa ang aktor.

Horror movie ang Dagaw na salitang Waray para sa anino. Hindi na bago sa ganitong genre si Marvin dahil ilang horror movies na ang ginawa niya sa OctoArts Films. Isa na rito ang suspense-horror film Kutob (2005) kung saan nanalo siya bilang Best Actor noong 2005 Metro Manila Film Fest.

First movie ito ni Marvin sa GMA Films at hindi siya mahihirapan sa kanyang schedule dahil nag-sign na siya ng exclusive contract sa GMA Artist Center. Nabanggit ng aktor sa isang TV interview na gagawa siya ng movie sa Unitel at Regal Entertainment, pero ang Dagaw ang kanyang uunahin dahil paalis si Direk Chito para sa shooting ng movie niya na London Caregiver ng Star Cinema na pagbibidahan ni Sharon Cuneta. - Philippine Entertainment Portal

Veteran comedian and “Eat Bulaga!” host Joey de Leon reacted to the apology offered by “Wowowee” host Willie Revillame.

“Nag-explain na ba? Hindi naman ako importante d’on eh. Ang importante ‘yong explain. Explain before we action,” he said in an interview with GMA News on Tuesday.

He added: “Sa akin wala, wala akong problema d’yan.”

De Leon gestured a V-sign with both hands, followed by an OK sign. However, he did not give a categorical explanation on his gestures.

“O, baka sabihin n’yo na naman dapat ganon di ba hindi ganyan dapat ganon. Wala asar talaga ako eh, wala kang magagawa eh,” he said.

Meanwhile, Revillame on Tuesday devoted part of his show to explain the supposed glitch that happened in Wowowee’s Wilyonaryo game segment. He also asked apology from De Leon .

“Joey de Leon, Joey de Leon, kaibigan, pare, from my heart I’m so sorry kung nasaktan kita pero tandaan mo idol pa rin kita,” he said on “Wowowee”.

“Eat Bulaga!” airs over GMA Network. GMANews.TV is the official website of GMA News and Public Affairs, a unit of GMA Network Inc. - A. LEGASPI, GMANews.TV

Apparently, there’s one person Heath Ledger can quit.

Ledger and his fellow Brokeback Mountain Oscar nominee—and parent—Michelle Williams have ended their three-year relationship together, both People and Us Weekly report.

According to both reports, the split took place several weeks ago and was completely amicable. Reps for the couple have so far not commented on the possible separation.

The press-shy duo has spent the past few years domesticating in Brooklyn along with their nearly two-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose, who was born in October 2005.

The two first met back in 2004, while filming Ang Lee’s trophy magnet of a film and, per costars, merged their two trailers into one almost instantaneously.

“I remember being at rehearsal and seeing the two of them sort of like googly-eyed looking at each other,” costar Jake Gyllenhaal told Oprah Winfrey in the wake of the film’s release.

“There were sparks immediately,” fellow star Anne Hathaway said at the time.

The couple was rumored to have tied the knot in a below-the-radar civil union earlier this year, though legal documents for the alleged vow swap never surfaced, and reps for the couple, per usual, failed to comment on the speculation.

Both Ledger, 28, and Williams, who turns 27 next week, have been keeping plenty busy professionally over the past few months.

Williams, who rose to fame as Jen Lindley in Dawson’s Creek, has spent the past few months in London filming the drama thriller Incendiary with Ewan McGregor. Ledger, meanwhile, has traded one Gyllenhaal cohort for another, working opposite sister Maggie and Christian Bale in the next Batman installment, The Dark Knight. That production wrapped up in the Windy City last Monday.
