DINGDONG Dantes laughed out loud when I teased him that he?s bound to be the next Concert King, now that he has signed up with Universal Records.
?I?m not a singer,? Dong said. ?I only sing in the shower. The album will be a documentation of me in four different music videos by four directors?Louie Ignacio, Treb Montejas, Adrian Calumpang and Rico Gutierrez. There will be dance music and a love song.?
Will Marian Rivera be part of the video? ?My leading ladies are all models but in principle, Marian will be there.? Wherever Dong is, expect Marian to be there, too.
MJ love offering
Rowell Santiago told me that he requested his brother Raymart and wife Claudine Barretto to pay respects to Michael Jackson on his behalf by visiting MJ?s rented mansion where he passed away. The couple took their kids Sabina and Santino with them and left flowers by the gate lined with MJ love offerings. The Gloved One will forever be the most loved one of his fans.
OMD!
What a delight to have a new daily show with Ogie Diaz and Maui Taylor (replacing ?Chikalectric,? my show with IC). It?s called ?Stop, Talk and Listen? (6:30 p.m. with replays at 12 midnight and 12 noon the following day) on Cignal TV?s Viva Cinema Channel.
Since Maui, Ogie, and I have strikingly opposite personalities, it?s the difference that makes the show interesting. Watch us and go OMD! (Ogie, Maui, Dolly)
In the show, Ogie and I were teasing Maui with our guest Mark Bautista. ?Na-link kami pero naudlot [We were rumored to be an item, but it didn?t happen],? said Maui. ?Type ko si Mark lalo na ngayon na buffed siya. But nagkabalikan kami ng on-and-off BF ko [Mark is my type, especially now that he?s buffed. But I?m back with my on-and-off boyfriend],? I asked Mark: ?Don?t you plan to snatch Maui away?? He blushed and said: ?Dyahe naman. I?ll wait na lang till she?s free.? Sad when someone you?re eyeing is ready, willing but unavailable.
Sarah marathon
In celebration of Sarah Geronimo?s 21st birthday, Pinoy Box Office (Viva?s movie channel) airs a special marathon every Saturday of July from 1:30-5:30 p.m. ?Sarah In Motion? and ?Lastikman: Unang Banat? air on July 18; and ?Annie B.? and ?A Very Special Love,? on July 25. It?s Sarah mania!
