Joining the already announced Demi Lovato as Smurfette, Rainn Wilson as Gargamel and Mandy Patinkin as Papa Smurf will be: triple Emmy nominee Jack McBrayer (“30 Rock,” “Wreck-It Ralph”) as the sweet, awkward and honest-to-a-fault Clumsy, who’s forever trying his best and missing the mark; Danny Pudi (“Community”) as book smart and geek proud Brainy, who’s long on knowledge, but short on inter-Smurf-onal skills; and Joe Manganiello (“True Blood,” “Magic Mike”) as the strong and super-positive Hefty, a loyal dynamo struggling with his hero complex.

Liza And Enrique Make Sweet Comeback To Primetime Via “DOLCE AMORE”

From the phenomenal success of their top-rating series “Forevermore,” Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil – one of the country’s hottest love teams – return to primetime to give viewers a taste of love’s sweetness in ABS-CBN’s newest romantic drama “Dolce Amore.”

After making the whole country fall in love and believe in forever, Liza and Enrique take on “Dolce Amore,” a story of two young wandering souls, both in search of who they really are, who will be brought together by destiny and feel an infallible connection with each other.

“It’s a project I think almost everyone will be able to relate to. It’s about finding your identity and finding love, and the story is just so fun and uplifting,” said Liza.

She plays Serena, a young girl raised in Italy by her adoptive parents. Though she lives a good life, she cannot shake off the feeling that an important part of her identity seems to be missing – the truth about where she came from.

Penélope Cruz has proven herself to be one of the most versatile actresses by playing a variety of compelling characters, and becoming the first actress from Spain to be nominated and win for an Oscar.

Her versatility comes to the fore anew as she tries slapstick comedy with Paramount Pictures' hilarious sequel, “Zoolander 2” in which she stars with Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig.

All the murders have one glaring characteristic in common that could crack the case— a selfie at the time of their death with that look... Zoolander's signature look BLUE STEEL. Believing there is only one person capable of interpreting that look, Valentina and her partner look to Derek to help infiltrate the world of high fashion and crack the case.

Maintain the Glister of Your Pearly Whites

Aside from being the month of love, February is also the Dental Health Month.

Dental health is a very important health issue especially because not everyone realizes that poor dental health is linked to more than just aesthetics. Research has linked poor dental health to several other diseases from migraines, respiratory infection and even some cardiovascular vascular conditions.

The message is obvious—bad dental hygiene results in bad overall health.

Glister, Amway’s brand of oral health care, gives us a few tips to maintain the “glister” of our pearly whites:

Tip 1: Follow a strict oral hygiene regimen. Brushing your teeth two to three times a day, is recommended. Floss at least once a day to remove plaque and rinse with mouthwash right after, to kill leftover bacteria that may cause plaque. Finally, use a mouth spray in between as a refresher.
