StarTalk celebrates 17th anniversary, prides in truthful reportage through the years

The longest-running showbiz talk show and the recognized showbiz authority, "StarTalk," is celebrating its 17th anniversary on Saturday, October 20 and once again, it will be giving tribute to the battle cry that has sealed its place ahead of every show of its kind -- "only the truth and nothing but." 

For the past 17 years, the truth has always been at the core of the show's every episode, the main reason why it has remained the most trusted and reliable source of showbiz news up to this day.  StarTalk has kept its vows to ferret out the truth hidden amongst the lies and half-truths for it believes that no matter how PAINFUL, IRONIC, HARD TO ACCEPT and CONFUSING the truth is, it is OFTEN LIBERATING.

Ogie, Rufa Mae, Antonio, Betong get high with "tupig"

For those who have travelled to the North, "tupig" is one unique delicacy one just can't get enough of.  But for comedians Ogie Alcasid, Betong Sumaya, Rufa Mae Quinto and Antonio Aquitania the concoction made from sticky rice is much more than just that.  To them, it is like "drugs" that makes them high.  Why? That's what viewers of the longest-running comedy/gag show "Bubble Gang" are about to find out this Friday in the special episode "Dis Is Siete: The Bubble Gang Anniversary Special."

Ogie, Betong, Rufa Mae and Antonio will star in a short (comedy) film "Tres Y Locos" written by Roel Raval and directed by Bubble Gang director Uro dela Cruz.  The film will be shown alongside four other short films in "Bubble Gang's" anniversary episode.

Tres Y Locos is a semi-musical featuring a famous singing trio from the North.  They get inspiration for their every performance from the famous Ilocano delicacy called "tupig." They have become so dependent on tupig that they could not deliver a wonderful performance without it. Will they be able to break free from their "bondage" to the sticky delicacy?

"Tres Y Locos" is one of five short films that will highlight the celebration of "Bubble Gang's" 17th year via the episode "Dis Is Siete: The Bubble Gang Anniversary Special" airing this Friday, October 19, after Inside Protege on GMA-7.

Michael V. gets torn between Maureen Larrazabal and Jackie Rice in "Bubble Gang" short film

This Friday on "Bubble Gang" viewers will witness a marathon of five specially produced short films that will surely leave them laughing out loud as the longest-running comedy/gag show celebrates its 17th anniversary with a special episode entitled, "Dis Is Siete: The Bubble Gang Anniversary Special."

One of the five short films is "Kabiyak" starring Michael V., Maureen Larrazabal and Jackie Rice. It is a story of two women (a legal wife and a mistress) fighting for custody over the remains of a deceased man they both loved.  Eventually the management of the funeral parlor decided to give each woman a piece of their man with the upper half given to the legal wife and the lower (more "sinful") half to the mistress.  Will the erring women be satisfied with their lot and finally put their lover to rest?

Find that out this Friday, October 19, in "Dis Is Siete: The Bubble Gang Anniversary Special" after Inside Protege on GMA-7.

And even back then, I was a big fan with his singing and acting talent and now even with his dancing skills!

Now with this anniversary, he staged X CLASS held at the Meralco Theater (which he said was a big part in his career especially with Trumpets). The concert goes back to the hits he made in the past decade that made a mark to his fans and also featuring the songs in his latest album and projects like the Kitchen Musical.

MUSIC LYF: Titanic Soundtrack

New Titanic Soundtrack To Coincide With Theatrical Release of Titanic in 3D

Ivory Music & Video, the exclusive licensee of Sony Music in the Philippines announces the soundtrack release of TITANIC: Anniversary Edition. The release will coincide with the newly re-mastered re-release of TITANIC, the world’s most beloved and acclaimed film, in theaters on April 4, 2012.The theatrical re-release marks the 100th anniversary of the Titanic setting sail (April 10th).

In commemoration of these events, Ivory Music & Video will release remastered versions of the original TITANIC soundtrack with extensive bonus material. Both feature an unreleased disc of period music recorded for the movie by I Salonisti, plus 4 bonus vintage Titanic luggage stickers. I Salonisti is the 5-piece quintet that appears in the film. Director James Cameron painstakingly researched the music that was played on the ship and hired them to record authentic music from the period – specifically, the music that all bands from the White Star Line would have been required to perform when hired to play as employees of the prestigious cruise fleet.  Arranger and music historian/advisor John Altman oversaw the process and was tasked with taking the White Star Line official playlist, arranging and recording those songs for the film. Two of the marquee songs on the disc I Salonisti: Gentlemen, It Has Been a Privilege Playing with You Tonight are “Nearer My God To Thee” which was the last song played by the band as the ship went down, and “Song of Autumn” which does not appear in the movie, but is rumored to be the actual song that the band played as the ship went down.
