Philippine News and Entertainment

I just learned that the episode last Friday was not aired in the U.S. due to some non-compliant songs, whatever that means. Ano ba ang kinanta nila?

Thankfully, you guys are looking out for me and e-mailed me some screencaps of Marky to complete my collection. Hahaha. I still want the video though.

Thanks to Arnel, commenter JEFFER and Marky Cielo‘s Yahoo Group.

Poor Sara Larsson. Hindi na siya sinuporta ng school niya. Her sex-scandal grew from the province of Iloilo into a nationwide invasion. And now finally, she ran out of votes to sustain her. The fact of the matter is, kailangan mo talaga ng konting talent. Although a better analysis would be despite her pretty face, she was still dispensible because Gian Carlos is also from Iloilo. So kahit na eliminated na siya, StarStruck did not lose the Iloilo votes/viewer because of Gian. And true to form, StarStuck kept the boys intact for one more week because they are more popular than the girls.

Jolina Magdangal, the most hard-working girl in Philippine showbiz. But what’s up with the curling iron this week at GMA? First Regine Velasquez, and now Jolina. Hold on, pareho kaya ang kanilang hairdresser/mananahi?

Before the elimination, the survivors were asked to choose who they think should be the StarStruck sole survivor, and everybody chose Marky Cielo. First up was Arci Munoz who is so smart, I have to say she may have single-handedly made Marky Cielo win. When Bugz Daigo chose Mark as well (because he is a good boy and follows my advise), the bandwagon was on. I think Jackie really had Vivo in mind because she called out his name when raising Marky’s picture — huli ka! I’m sure a lot of them decided just to go with Marky after the initial two just to play it safe. I don’t know, I could tell by just watching that the fans of both Iwa and Vivo were stunned at what was happening. And Marky of course graciously chose Bugz. Yay. I’m such a happy camper. This show is just so made for me.

After Sara abruptly left the stage, the survivors were divided into three groups to be managed by three prominent managers: Douglas Quijano, Lolit Solis and Malou Choa Pagar (from Eat Bulaga).

Malou: Vivo, Jackie, Bugz
Douglas: Marky, Jana, Chuck — of course sigawan ang mga fans ni Marky because Douglas is the manager of Richard Gomez
Lolit: Iwa, Arci, Gian

Ano kaya ang papagawin sa kanila? Exciting.

GMA Pinoy TV did not show Starstruck tonight! It went from Eat Bulaga straight to 24 Oras. Nooooooo! Noooooo! And there are no repeats. Utang na loob. Why? Whaaay??? Hinde… hinde…

Update: They’re now showing Extra Challenge with this island thing with Marvin Agustin. They really skipped Starstruck. I’m devastated. I know the GMA people are reading this. Why? What’s happening?

StarStruck is just 10 minutes, why did they need to cut it?

Because I love everybody…

Starstruck Boys – Intro

Sara Larsson – Eternal Flame

Jana Roxas – I Know

Jackie Rice – Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigin Ka

Iwa Moto – Love Moves in Mysterious Ways

Arci Munoz – True Colors

Starstruck Girls – Tell Me Where It Hurts

Worst Performance: Sara Larsson – Really? Even with the direction coaching of Quark Henares? I don’t think she was that bad.

Best Performance: Iwa Moto – Nanalo na naman siya. Sige na I’ll join the bandwagon: she doesn’t look sincere. Hahaha. I don’t know, I’m confused with the girls. For some reason I liked Jackie Rice and her dramatic rooftop video.

This episode is making me excited for the videos tomorrow. Mas may appeal talaga ang mga boys ngayon dahil their potential for disaster is greater.
