Imagine the names Robin Padilla, Rommel Padilla and BB Gandanghari in one fun, amusing, action comedy show that will make you laugh so hard this coming January 24. This Saturday, you must see "2 1/2 Daddies" and see what it's all about. Ms. Celia Rodriguez even dubbed this as the show that will end all shows because she's seen how the rapport of these Padilla siblings and their antics both on and off camera. They also showed some clips during the launch, and I must say, it's going to be very promising. How will the brusko Robin, the smooth talking Rommel and fashown Bb Gandanghari be if they become instant Fathers in this series? Well you've got to see it to believe it on Saturday. I'm telling you, you'll love it!

You can also start wiping your mouth, coz you're going to be seeing him and his twin brother. No it's not him!

Derek Ramsay will star on this show with good looking twin Empoy in a one of a kind, twist of fate, hit by lightning kind of comedy that will start on January 25, that's on Sunday. If you have any violent reactions on how Empoy ended up as Derek Ramsay's real twin brother in this series, you are hereby summoned to see it this weekend. They'll also be with the funny John Lapuz and the beautiful Bianca King. You must see how Empoy destroy or make the lives of his long lost brother happier with his antics in this modern sibling rivalry show. Who will end up wooing the girls? How will it make us realize that we're lucky to have the ones we have at home? You better watch Mac & Chiz or else, you'll be as good looking as Empoy this weekend. Oh boy you're going to be lucky if that happens!

Shocking Turn of Events!: 4 Artista Academy Hopefuls Eliminated!

I don't know why but just like you I am getting depressed with news like this. They just concluded the kickout sessions in Artista Academy and boy I wasn't the only one shocked with the results. Today marks a sad day for Alberto Bruno, Marvelous Alejo, Nicole Estrada and Stephanie Rowe as they fall victim to this vicious cycle of eliminations in Artista Academy. Yes, you heard that right all 4 scholars just got booted out from the competition ending their chance to win a whopping 20 Million Pesos worth of prizes by the biggest talent and artist search in the country.

I like the Marvelous and Mark combo and it wouldn't be really nice to see one of them go. She is so nice and very genuine... I like her. Nicole Estrada and Stephanie Rowe are also equally gorgeous gals, did they remove them because the past few eliminations were all boys? If they are doing good in votes I don't think they should go out. How about Alberto Bruno? He's pretty good with the ladies, I'm sure he's getting a lot of attention from them too. He's like the dark horse of the competition, how I wish it was possible to have them all still in the running for the 10 Million each. If you didn't know one male and one female contestant will actually win the top prize. It will really change their lives forever!

The last time I saw these guys was in the Cotton On opening in Mall of Asia. It was fun to see them relax and represent TV5 and have them seen in Bench events. 

In hindsight it looks like all of them will have careers in this channel. They will also have a lot of projects too! I wonder if my bet gets to win, I'm talking about your Mark Neumann!! Hehe!

Remember to watch Artista Academy which airs weeknights at 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. on the Kapatid Network TV5!

Artista Academy: Third Kickout is Brent Manzano

Hi peeps! Well it looks like a sad week for Brent Manzano. He was the last person to be kicked out of the Artista Academy. He was actually the one his peers wanted to be taken out in the early days of this school but the guy's good looking no doubt about that. His minions might be a little sad this week but honestly I don't think it'll end here. There are a lot of opportunities up for grabs on the network and he'll be one of the artists to look out for in the near future. Aside from that, the first batch is always going to be epic. They've been probably interviewed in other programs now and I'm sure they'll get more exposure once the last scholar comes out of the school.

Here are some of the highlights on last week's exams!

Direk Mac Alejandre, Gelli De Belen, Ms. Lorna Tolentino and Ms. Wilma Galvante were dead serious that evening. They wanted the students to really step up their game so they won't get eliminated.

The scholars less Jon Orlando and Julia Quisumbing. Two of my 3 bets are out. Now my success lies on Mark Neumann. He's doing a great job though. Jon Orlando was in the crowd to support his fellow scholars, quite a good chap!

Then the guys and gals performed their dance numbers.

Marvelous had to also perform 1 dance number and an acting stint for her makeup exams. Yes they do have one too!

Everyone got good reviews except Benjo who got the lowest scores. But he stayed most probably because the scores were not really that low. 

Then the Acting exams commenced.

Malak had a very great performance. I loved what she did here. Plus she really carried the story well even if the sound effects were cheesy, definitely believable.

We had a glimpse of Stephanie Rowe's life in yesterday's episode. It was enlightening. You kinda understood her boyish ways now. Her family loves her dearly. Her performance though was okay. Just okay.

Chanel was very good. She learned quite a few things in the session with Direk Soxy Topacio who took over the workshops. She got good scores for this. I felt she was like Lovi Poe at this time.

Brent Manzano had some slight awkward moments. He needed this obviously to stay afloat. During sessions, he was really given advice about hand gestures. He's been doing that a lot in the past and he tried to do so here. It made him appear a little overacting. So on this one it was minimal but the last part and the conversation with the other stage actor was kinda still awkward. He got low scores and he's got the public to probably ask to vote for him. Unfortunately he was taken out last Monday. Sad but quite optimistic he's still gonna be in TV5 for sure.

Marvelous also performed that evening. I just didn't get any photos of that. But she did quite good. Maybe the slight awkwardness just stems from her looking too cute for the role. Ang cute naman talaga kasi hehe.

Then the singing exam started

First up was Mark Neumann

He admits being a little handicapped in the singing department but since he knows his weaknesses he jazzed it up with beatboxing that made the whole number quite entertaining. The judges really took notice of this smart move by Mark. I say GOOD JOB! :) Even I enjoyed it!

Aki was the apple of the eye of the ladies there. Singing was okay, looks was tops, but the way he did it in this bit was again "awkward". He didn't move around that much or connected with people. He didn't really even look at people or traveled around the stage. The judges made sure he knows about it so he doesn't do it again the next time.

Nicole Estrada did good too. I guess the only thing wrong is the song choice or the outfit. I guess the Madonna inspired outfit didn't match the Alicia Keys song. Overall she did a good job though but she has to stand out next time.

Vin Abrenica sang too but I wasn't able to take photos of it. I was busy listening. Again, this was a case of a bad song choice. Even though that's the case, this boy has stardom imprinted on his genes. He's also obviously good looking and among the scholars I think he's got quite a grasp about the industry. He's going places. Score wise, they all did a good job.

Then the announcement for the bottom 3 happened

Then it was announced; Marvelous, Brent and Benjo were in the bottom three.

Host Mr. Cesar Montano then proceeded to announce the top performers in the Dance, Singing and Acting classes.

Sophie is the top student for Dance, Vin Abrenica got the top rank for both Singing and Acting. Congratulations guys! :)

Now who's going to go next? Make sure you watch the next live exams at 9PM this week plus the daily show Mon-Fri @ 11:45AM & 9:00PM. We need to take this a notch higher guys, you wouldn't want to end up in the bottom 3 again do you?
