Showbiz in a snap: Aga-Lea movie happening soon, and other news

Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.

1. THE AGA-LEA REUNION MOVIE IS HAPPENING!

A lot of people are clamouring for an Aga Muhlach – Lea Salonga reunion movie because their ‘90s movies – Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal and Sana Maulit Muli – were blockbusters. And that reunion movie is happening pretty soon since they are making lots of progress in the lose-more-weight-so-we’ll-look-great onscreen department. More importantly, they already have the material! Aga watched Lea’s Playlist concert at the PICC Plenary Hall last Sunday and he shared that Malou Santos of Star Cinema and director Rory B. Quintos have already found the perfect story for their reunion movie. There’s no denying the chemistry of these two. Interaksyon reported that everyone in the audience went wild when Lea performed an acoustic version of “Sana Maulit Muli,” with Aga joining her onstage, of course.

Angel Locsin shared with Buzz ng Bayan that she still exchanges text messages with ex-boyfriend Phil Younghusband. However, they avoid seeing each other. “Paano mag-mo-move on kung kita ng kita?” she reasons. The actress explained in the interview that we have no choice but to move on because life goes on. On the other hand, Phil is glad that they are still talking because he wants to know what’s going on in her life. “We are friends and I still support her,” he said.

3. GWEN AND DAVID ARE ENGAGED

Congrats to Gwendoline Ruais and David Semerad, who told 24 Oras Weekend that they just got engaged! The model/athlete posted “Got engaged” as his status update in Facebook last Dec. 5., and clarified that technically, they are already engaged. “It’s just that I haven’t done a formal proposal yet and got the big rock,” he candidly revealed. There will be a formal engagement happening pretty soon, though. The two want three weddings: the first in Manila, and then the rest in Europe and Australia since Gwen is half-French, while Anthony is part Australian and part Czech.

Kris Bernal has come a long way ever since being a finalist in the GMA 7 show StarStruck in 2006, and it’s great to know that she still has the drive to excel and even improve, especially because more and more talented people are joining the entertainment industry. So what’s her strategy? She told Pep.ph that she wants to discover a new talent apart from acting and concentrate on that. Her choice? Jazz. Kris, after all, has been doing a lot of dancing, as well, apart from acting. Remember her soap Time of My Life, where she got to showcase both her acting and dancing skills? Of course, posing sexy for a men’s magazine also does wonders for one’s career. Asked whether she is considering such a move, Kris told Pep that she’s open to doing it if it can help her career, and if GMA 7 and her parents are good with it.
