MANILA, Philippines?With son Richard Gutierrez close enough to hear, Annabelle Rama heaped praises on KC Concepcion.
Inevitably, she was asked, did she want KC and her son to team up in reel life?
?Kahit sa totoong buhay, Dong (Even in real life),? she quipped. (Actually, GMA Films has a 2009 film project for the two.)
Even sister Ruffa Gutierrez jumped into the act on ?The Buzz,? saying that Richard was smitten with a ?flying girl.? She was alluding to KC?s high-wire act in mom Sharon Cuneta?s birthday concert last week.
KC, movie star
Though Richard is currently being linked with KC look-alike Jewel Mische, his ?Kamandag? partner, he was reportedly seen with KC in Cebu.
Maybe they were there for Sinulog? This is way too early to be a gimmick to drumbeat the tandem.
Before the GMA Films flick, KC is slated to do two movies with Star Cinema?for which names like Sam Milby and John Lloyd Cruz have been dropped as co-stars.
Gabby?s turn
Meanwhile, KC?s dad, Gabby Concepcion, is raring for a comeback.
A GMA 7 insider says the planned project with Gabby Concepcion is not a TV show, as announced by his father Rolly on ?Showbiz Central.?
?Actually it?s a movie with Jolina Magdangal that GMA Films is line-producing for the Magdangal family,? the exec said.
The movie will be set on a cruise ship and will most likely be shot abroad, said the exec.
Seems Gabby?whose current partner, Genevive Yatco, gave birth to his fourth daughter, Samantha Alexis on Jan. 13?can?t work on a regular TV show in the country, another network source surmised. Is it because of the lawsuits waiting for him here?
Inspired madness
The all-white feathered costume of Renaldo Lapuz, the 45-year-old Filipino-American who auditioned on ?American Idol,? was inspired by the movie ?Gladiator.?
To be precise, remember, Joaquin Phoenix?s Roman emperor costume?
The feathered cowboy hat is a tribute to the superhero Flash.
Renaldo also told a Fox TV interviewer that he wore the costume because the ad for the auditions said aspirants should ?dress to impress.?
