Alden Richards
The Pambansang Bae can stage a sold out concert without the help of his onscreen partner. And that’s a fact. On Sunday (Monday morning in Manila), Alden shook thousands of fans and put them into frenzy when he opened At Last in London, a one-night concert specially produced for his supporters in the UK. Aldenatics flocked to Troxy in Stepney East London to see the Kapuso star live in the flesh. In return, the 24-year-old star did not disappoint his fans by giving them the kind of entertainment they expected to see from their idol.
Barcelona: A Love Untold
Unless Star Cinema is giving us wrong box office data, then it is safe to say that the Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla starrer romantic film is a certified blockbuster. According to ABS-CBN’s production arm, the movie earned P200 million on its second week. Now on its third week, Barcelona is expected to shatter box office records this year after it was released in 320 screens or 70 more screens compared to the initial plan.
Catriona Gray

Mark Anthony Fernandez
It was like a movie scene. At a checkpoint in Pampanga, police officers stopped Mark’s car and found a wrapped brick of dried marijuana leaves on the passenger seat. Startled while being questioned by the men in uniform, Mark sped off thinking that his Mustang would take him far and fast. Apparently, there’s traffic build up. Hence, policemen were able to catch him quick. Now, the detained former Gwapings member denied possessing or owning the illegal drugs. Ending, Mark is detained and charged with non-bailable offenses. Poor Mark.
Natalie Hart
From Princess Snell, she changed her name and agreed to appear in a provocative movie (Siphayo) that gives frontal nudity and intimate scenes a generous amount of exposure. But since the movie’s commercial run is postponed indefinitely, Natalie will need to find another way to get people’s attention. Of course, she needs to take advantage of her daring reinvention, otherwise, all her efforts would be put to waste including her attempt to break into the business again.
Charice
She’s celebrating her 10th year in the business as an “independent artist” and asserts that she doesn’t regret all the controversies that have happened to her career. Looking back, Charice could have been the biggest Filipino music star on the international music scene had she calculated her decision and didn’t change her appearance drastically. There’s nothing wrong with her sexual preference; in fact, people admired her for coming out. But there are things that really don’t work in the business. It isn’t her being gay, it’s her condescension that induced the natural death of her career.
