Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. PRETTY LITTLE LIARS TO HAVE A LOCAL COUNTERPART IN 2014
Believe it or not, there will be a local version of the hit Hollywood show Pretty Little Liars. The adaptation will premiere on the second quarter of 2014 in TV5 and will star TV5 homegrown talents Sophie Albert, Chanel Morales, Stephanie Rowe, and Daniel Lee. Remember when the station did Lipgloss aka their version of Gossip Girl? Anyway, we have to admit we’re excited to see this one.

Now that Willie Revillame’s show onTV5 Wowowillie has ended, people are wondering when he’s returning to TV. More specifically, people are wondering whether or not he’ll return to ABS-CBN, where he used to host the show Wowowee. Willie told Mario Dumaual of TV Patrol that if ever he’ll make it back to ABS-CBN, he wants to revive and be part of Wowowee, because it’s what made him buy the lots where Wil Tower now stands on. In case he gets an offer from GMA 7, he wants the same thing. Guess we’ll have to wait and see whether any station is open to the idea of reviving his old show.

Paulo Avelino is sure exerting a lot of effort wooing KC Concepcion. Just look at what he gave KC for Christmas: a Christmas tree – a real one, okay? As in “American Pine freshly shipped straight from the States,” as KC described it on Instagram. Ikaw na, Paulo! (Photo: xtina_ontherocks Instagram account)

Raymond Gutierrez got to interview Justin Bieber when he was in the country to help the victims of super typhoon Yolanda. What can he say about the popular singer? He shared with Pep.ph that Justin is “one busy person” and that he salutes him because he was able to take the time out of his busy schedule and help. “It really made me see him in a different light and how the media perceives him.” He added, “I think the most realization I had was that he’s a normal person. I could tell that he was tired; he came from a flight, but at the same time, I knew he wanted to help out. I could tell he wanted to help out because he wouldn’t be there if he didn’t want to. He wanted to help out and he’s tired, but then, so yun, tao lang siya.” (Photo: mondgutierrez)

5. CHARICE GOES GIRLY AGAIN
It seems like it’s been years since Charice, who is now proud and out as a lesbian, was last seen in girl clothes and sporting long hair. So it was a riot when last Dec. 15 she appeared in ASAP 18 wearing a skirt and a wig while singing “End of Time” and “Indpendent Women” together with Iza Calzado, Meg Imperial, and Juris Fernandez. Sure reminded us of her Glee days. Do you miss the old Charice?
