Faith Cuneta, the Asianovela Diva would have front acted for Tom Jones’ concert at the Araneta Coliseum last Sunday. It would have been a dream come true for Faith who started her singing career at the young age of 11 as a Bagong Kampeon winner.

At 27, Faith is the voice behind the theme songs of popular Asian soap operas aired on GMA 7. She has crossed from TV dramas to being major concert promoters’ top choice as special guest to foreign acts. Faith has shared the stage with David Pomeranz, Swing Out Sisters, BoyzIIMen, John Ford Coley, Paul Williams, Dennis Lambert, Rex Smith and Matt Monro Jr.

“I know most of them by their music on the radio but now I get to talk to them in person and even be friends with them on Facebook,” Faith said. “I would really like to extend my gratitude to all the promoters who gave me the opportunity to meet and work with these international performers.”

“When my Dad was still alive, Tom Jones was his favorite singer. He used to say that Tom is like Elvis. I am honored to have been invited by Ovation Productions to perform with him.”

MANILA, Philippines - Actor Robin Padilla is also a fan of Pinoy Big Brother Double Up 3rd Big Placer Jason Francisco.

"Asahan mo na sa ating pagkikita… maibabahagi ko sa iyo ang aking pagiging kaibigan mo," he added.

When asked if he's open to doing a project with Francisco, Padilla replied: "Maaring sa darating na panahon ay makasama mo din ako sa pelikula. Tanggapin mo ang aking pasasalamat sa iyong paghanga at tanggapin mo din ang aking paghanga sa iyo."

MANILA, Philippines – Angel Locsin has admitted that her father got affected by allegation that she is an alcoholic.

During her live interview on “The Buzz” Sunday, the actress cried as she confessed that she and her father had a misunderstanding after he initially believed the rumor that she has a drinking problem.

“Actually kami ngayon ni daddy medyo meron kaming hindi pagkakaunawaan kasi naniniwala siya sa isyu na alcoholic [ako],” she said.

The 25-year-old star did not deny that she and her friends went to a bar and had a couple of drinks, but these were part of her preparations for her upcoming movie with Aga Muhlach. In the film, she is taking on a role of a prostitute.

“Kailangan ko ring ma-experience talaga. Sa group ko, sa friends ko, sa career ko rin kasi may mga bagay na hindi mo naman basta pwedeng iimbento ang emosyon, ‘di ba?” she said.

Locsin also brushed off reports that she packed her bags and left their home. “Bahay ko ‘yon. Paano ka maglalayas sa sarili mong bahay? May mga detalyeng lumalabas na tama naman kaya lang mali lang ‘yong mga rason na nakalagay.”

She also felt offended that some people were even alleging that she is becoming unprofessional. “May mga trabaho daw ako na hindi nasisipot. Wala pa naman akong ginagawa. Ano ang hindi ko masisipot na trabaho?”
