Star Magic prime artists make a big bang in 2009

ABS-CBN Star Magic has established the industry's biggest and brightest stars in 2008. As Star Magic ushers this year, the premiere star maker gives more revelations in its roster of stars. 2009 will definitely be another great year for Star Magic's prime artists Piolo Pascual, Kristine Hermosa, Diether Ocampo, Angelica Panganiban, Sam Milby, Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz as they make a big bang.

Piolo Pascual ended 2008 grandly with the premiere of his Star Cinema movie Love Me Again (Land Down Under) in the US plus his award in last year's Star Awards for Television's Best Actor for Lobo. Piolo is obviously raring to start the year right with his movie with Angel Locsin in Star Cinema's New Year offering, showing on January 15. He is also getting ready to shoot a Korean drama remake of Lovers in Paris with his newest leading lady, KC Concepcion. Come this first quarter of the year, Piolo is not only busy with commitments on TV and film, he too is preparing a special Valentine concert at the Araneta Coliseum on February 21 with fellow ASAP crooners Mark Bautista, Sam Milby, Christian Bautista and Erik Santos. The concert will also have special provincial shows in Cebu (February 14), Bacolod (February 28) and Feburary 30 in Davao. He is also preparing for his own clothing line this year. He's still the face for San Mig Coffee, Max's Fried Chicken, Timex, Skytravel, Smart Telecommunications, Bench and Bench Pure Passion.

Kristine Hermosa is back with a vengeance in 2009 returning to the small screen via Susan Roces' Cinema Collection entitled Maruja. With the success of her recent Maalaala Mo Kaya episode which reunited her with former on screen loveteam mate, Jericho Rosales, she will start shooting a Star Cinema movie with the latter and Malaysian actress Carmen Soo very soon. Another big comeback is a soap opera lined up for the much-loved Echo-Tin tandem. She will also grace the cover of Metro Magazine in February. Kristine continues her campaign for Cinderella and Aeskultura.

Diether Ocampo remains a Kapamilya and has a new project with his home network to prove it. After the successful run of Iisa Pa Lamang in 2008, where he starred opposite Claudine Barretto, Diether is set to shoot a new drama, this time with Angel Locsin. The actor is also very much into his charity work and will be pushing more projects for the benefit of KIDS Foundation. He is actively doing rounds of visit in several provinces for the past year and will definitely be more serious with more charity works ahead. Diether too remains with his Bench and Pizza Hut family and will be seen in new campaigns around the metro soon.

Angelica Panganiban has made a villainess quite fabulous with her role as Scarlet in 2008's hit drama Iisa Pa Lamang. Now, Angelica is raring to sink her acting chops with the remake of Mexican telenovela entitled Ruby (Ang bidang kontrabida) where she will be playing another interesting character. The actress is also set to star in her first indie movie with Bea Alonzo, which is produced by award winning actor Albert Martinez. Angelica will reunite with Iisa Pa Lamang co-star Gabby Concepcion in a Star Cinema movie and off screen sweetheart Derek Ramsay. She will also be doing another TV show, Mariposa, in Kapamilya network soon. Angelica remains the endorser of Mario D' Boro shoes, Bench and Fern Slim. She will be active in endorsing a watch brand soon. She will however continue to ooze sexiness and show her funny side on ABS-CBN's comedy show, Banana Split.

Sam Milby is excited for the year ahead. After he has proven himself as an actor with substance in his first indie film in Cul De Sac which earned rave reviews from audiences and critics alike, he is Bea Alonzo's leading man in And I Love You So under Star Cinema. The Fil-American is also very happy with the good ratings of his teleserye, Dyosa and hopes that it continues to soar in 2009. Another TV project in the works for Sam is the drama, Buhay ng Buhay Ko where he will be starring opposite Angel Locsin and Diether Ocampo. Sam also joins his ASAP buddies Piolo Pascual, Mark Bautista, Erik Santos and Christian Bautista in a special Valentine show slated on February 21 at the Araneta Coliseum. The singer actor is also set to release a new album in collaboration with his former leading lady Toni Gonzaga. Although busy with shooting for his new movie, he does not forget his endorsing duties for Smart Telecommunications, i2i, Unisilver watches and Dermablend.

Bea Alonzo has become a household name because of her lauded portrayal of lovable Betty on ABS-CBN's take of the hit Columbian soap, I Love Betty La Fea. Bea was also hailed by Guillermo Memorial Mendoza Award as Box Office Queen in 2008. And hopefully she will also reign supreme in the box-office this year with her movie And I Love You So with former leading man Sam Milby. Bea continues with her endorsing duties for Smart, Kashieca, 4G food supplements, Clear shampoo and as the newest face of Belo Essentials.

John Lloyd Cruz has definitely made a mark in 2008 by landing the much coveted role of Armando in I Love Betty La Fea and having a box-office movie, Star Cinema's A Very Special Love opposite Sarah Geronimo. But in 2009, audiences will definitely see a bigger and bolder John Lloyd as he delves a gay role in a Star Cinema special presentation where he will act with the Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos. But before he gets into all that serious stuff, John Lloyd will be seen again with Sarah Geronimo in You've Changed My Life. Last year's Box Office King has recently renewed his contract as endorser for Biogesic and Greenwich. Apart from his endorsement for Smart and Urban Bags, he will also be lending his services for a food brand and chocolate drink this 2009.

The magic continues as the year of the ox looks more promising for Star Magic and its homegrown talents.

SENSE&STYLE FEB EDITION FEATURES LOVE BIRDS ANGELICA & DEREK

file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Admin/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg

On a three-day break from their grueling schedules, celebrity couple Angelica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay travels to the dazzling,confounding city of Hong Kong with Sense&Style to indulge in the little anonymity there is two hours and worlds away from showbusiness.

He was taping on the set of his fantasy soap Super Inggo when he finally decided to call her. He knew as little about her as she did about him. Except for one mutual friend, they had absolutely nothing in common. Nevertheless, Angelica Panganiban answered the phone, even as she was in the bathroom. “She picked up while doing ‘number two,’” says Derek Ramsay in jest, hooting. “Of course not, your call just triggered it!” she shoots back. “You weren’t telling me who you were kasi.”

SWEET ESCAPE
It took a few more calls and lot of persuading on his part before Derek and Angelica finally met up. So, she thought, this was the guy I was supposed to work with on that Maalaala Mo Kaya episode I just turned down. “But I remember thinking he was too old!” she admits. But from their first date, things took off smoothly. “Age doesn’t matter pala,”she retracts. True enough, their relationship, not withstanding all the controversies that seem inevitable when two high-profile people come together, has remained unfazed and has, on the contrary, become closer and stronger.

In the conventional way Philippine showbusiness pairs its stars, theirs began as a love team too risky to push onscreen. After all, Angelica is only twenty-two, the charming child star turned awkward teen princess then daring bombshell whom we’ve seen in and out of the limelight over the past sixteen years and Derek, the sportsman and engineer raised in England who quickly found himself as a model, host, and, recently, actor in his mother’s home country, is thirty, eight years her senior in terms of chronological age but so much more in terms of their onscreen images. She seems too young for him. He seems too much of a man of the world for her. Has anyone called them Derangelica yet? The movies and television have yet to acknowledge the real-life coupling of Angelica and Derek as a potential teamup, but so what? At least theirs is for real, nothing like the romance some of their colleagues have to fake even outside the realm of work to please the studios and their fans.
