Christmas is a special day when friends and family reunite with one another. During this once-in-a-year event, loved ones bond over their sumptuous "noche buena" and catch up on each other's life by swapping stories. Of course, our celebrities also do not want to miss out on this fun.

Among them is the dance group Streetboys, who took advantage of this holiday season to have a grand reunion. This dance group was popular way back in the 90's with members like Jhong Hilario, Vhong Navarro, Danilo Barrios, and Nicko Manalo. They were reunited this year by their manager, Chito Rono.


Back in the days, the Streetboys are one of the most popular dance groups in the Philippines. But eventually, after years of relishing on their fame, each of the member went on to pursue different paths in life. Today, most of them already have their own family and kids.

During their grand reunion, the Streetboys members also brought along their kids to join the fun. Of course, a Christmas party slash mini reunion will not be complete without cash and gifts! One of the Streetboys member, Jhong Hilario, acted as Christmas Santa to the children of his friends.


In a video shot by Danilo Barrios, the 42-year-old "It's Showtime" host can be seen giving aguinaldo to the children during their reunion. To add more fun, Jhong made the children choose between the "ampao" or red money envelopes. Inside the envelopes, the children were surprised with cash.



Danilo shared the video on Instagram and many people were touched by Jhong's generosity. People praised the "It's Showtime" host for showing kindness to the children of Streetboys. Indeed, it's not everyday that we get to see celebrities sharing their blessings to others.

As the old adage goes, your education is the only thing that can never be stolen from you. Wherever you go, you will take your knowledge with you and your education can be your stepping stone in life. Because of its significance, no wonder why many students are really motivated to finish their studies with flying colors.

Among those hardworking students is Shamcey Supsup. Shamcey is more popularly known for her contributions in the pageantry industry. Way back in 2011, Shamcey Supsup became Philippines' representative in the Miss Universe pageant. She placed 3rd runner on the competition.



But aside from her charismatic looks and witty banter in Miss Universe, did you know that Shamcey Supsup is also recognized for her intelligence? Yes, you read that right! Shamcey is not only a beautiful woman, but she's also incredibly smart and talented.

As a matter of fact, Shamcey has a degree in architecture at the University of the Philippines. But Shamcey didn't achieve this easily. In a recent post on Instagram, the former beauty queen revealed that her academic journey was not easy.


On Instagram, Shamcey posted her transcript of records in college. While her grades were truly impressive, Shamcey revealed that she was also very grade-conscious. According to the beauty queen, back in those days, she cared more about her grades than her actual learning in class.

Shamcey also has insightful advice for those students who are also grade-conscious like her. According to Shamcey, above all, you must strive for balance not only in your academic life but in your personal life as well.



"But now, I am more than certain that grades are not everything. Grades should be a byproduct of learning. And what you do with that knowledge is MUCH more important than what is on your report card."

Naglabas ng warrant of arrest ngayong Lunes ng umaga ang isang korte sa Taguig laban sa TV host-comedian na si Vhong Navarro kaugnay sa kasong acts of lasciviousness na isinampa ni Deniece Cornejo.

NAGSALITA si Cristy Fermin patungkol sa kumakalat na isyu na may kinalaman sa sexy comedienne turned beauty queen na si Herlene Budol.

 

Dennis Padilla, in one of his most recent Instagram post, asserted that he has been a provider ever since his daughter, Julia Barretto, was born.

The comedian made this assertion after Karen Davila interviewed Julia where the latter made statements about her estranged father about “needing more love from him.”

In the subsequent post of the comedian, he posted a question for Julia on what was she talking about, adding that his daughter is making him look useless. 

“Julia.... Since you were born... Ako ang provider... What are you talking about?????” Dennis wrote. 

 He then told his daughter that when she started acting in Kokey, the comedian and Julia’s mom, Marjorie Barretto, were already separated. 

“Nung mag artista ka sa kokey... Hiwalay na kmi....” the comedian wrote. 

Dennis then deplored the fact that Julia seems to make him appear useless in the eyes of many. “You make me look useless... Sobra ka naman...” he said. 

The comedian then asked Karen to interview him too so that the story wouldn’t be one-sided. 

“Karen... You need to interview me para klaro.... @iamkarendavila... You better interview ME... para di one sided.... Wag ganun!!! @iamkarendavila,” Dennis wrote.

The award-winning journo has since replied to the post of Dennis, saying that she already sent him a private message. 

Celebrities are always in the public's eye. Wherever they go, they are followed with cameras everywhere which create immense pressure to always look, but not necessarily feel, their best. Because of this, you rarely see other stars reveal their natural, no-makeup face in public. But Jennylyn Mercado is not just another celebrity.

No doubt, Jennylyn Mercado is one of the prettiest faces in the showbiz industry. Her fans have witnessed Jen bloom from a girl-next-door to a mature woman. Now, at 32 years old and a mother of one, Jennylyn is still as beautiful as ever!



Just recently, the Kapuso actress decided to show her bare face in a collaboration with Preview magazine. In an episode of 'Barefaced Beauty,' the 32-year-old actress proudly flaunted her bare face in front of the camera. As Jen warned, her face is truly different without makeup.

"Magugulat kayo iba yung itsura ko pag walang make-up."



As you may well know, Jennylyn is currently working on the remake of the hit Korean series "Descendants of the Sun." Because of their endless shooting, Jen is always wearing makeup almost 24/7, so taking them off is really a huge relief.

According to Jen, in order to maintain her youthful glow, she only uses organic skincare products on her face. She doesn't like using harsh chemicals, as they react strongly against her sensitive skin. In the video, she used coconut oil to remove her heavy makeup.


As expected, Jen looked as if she's years younger without heavy makeup on. Indeed, one can only wish to achieve her glass-like skin, which is also the product of years of carefully-prepped skincare regime.

Watch her bare-faced beauty challenge below:

Dr. Vicki Belo Explains Why Scarlet Is A Belo, And Not A Kho: 'Daddy Promised' 

After weeks of keeping mum on rumors surrounding her relationship with actor Gerald Anderson, actress Julia Barretto has broken her silence to address their supposed breakup.

Barretto was asked about her current status with Anderson in an interview with Karen Davila, published on the news anchor’s YouTube vlog on Thursday. 

“Sa news, every month, that’s the situation,” she said, referring to their alleged separation. “No, we haven’t broken up. I think that’s a sign na we’re really able to protect our relationship and keep it private.”

Barretto and Anderson’s relationship became the subject of speculation in August, when rumors romantically linking the actor with his movie co-star, Kylie Padilla, circulated on social media.

Padilla was quick to deny any romantic ties with her leading man. Anderson, meanwhile, made light of the rumors when asked for his reaction by TV host Ogie Diaz, saying that they will have to wait nine months, referring to the allegation that Padilla is pregnant.

Barretto, in her interview with Davila, said Anderson has her complete trust.

“I don’t think I’ll get into a relationship with somebody na I don’t trust. I do trust him and he shows me that every single day, there’s just no reason for me to doubt,” she said.

The “Expensive Candy” star also described their relationship as “serious,” explaining that the “sense of security” Anderson provides sets him apart from her past partners.

“His kindness has really grounded me and has really motivated me to become a better person. He’s created such a safe and healthy environment in my life. I feel good,” she said.

Asked whether they intend to get married soon, Barretto answered: “I don’t think that’s up to me. I think that’ll come at the right time. But I do feel very secure in the relationship that we have, and I’m really happy. I don’t have anything to worry about.”

Hindi maikakailang isa si Yen Santos sa mga pinakamagagandang artista ng kanyang henerasyon. Bukod sa napakaamong mukha ay taglay rin nito ang katawan na kinaiinggitan ng lahat ng babae at pinapantasya naman ng mga lalaki. Kung susuyurin ang kanyang Instagram ay makikita na talagang halos perpekto si Yen, dahilan upang sabihin ng ilang netizen na tila may favoritism daw ang Lumikha dahil mayroon itong mga anak na kagaya ni Yen samantalang ang iba ang mukha lang patatas.

Ngunit kamakailan lang ay nag-upload ang dalaga ng mga litrato na nagpatunay na wala naman palang paboritong anak ang Maykapal dahil lahat tayo ay may kanya-kanyang kapintasan, sa parehong paraan na lahat tayo ay may kanya-kanyang kalakasan.



Nagsimula ang lahat nang mag-upload si Yen Santos sa Twitter ng ilang litratong nakataas ang kanyang braso, dahilan para makita ng lahat nang buong-buo ang kanyang kilikili. Bago pa man niya i-upload ito ay marami nang nagsasabing mistulang maitim at hindi kagandahan ang kilikili ng dalaga. Ngunit dahil lagi lang itong nakikita nang madilim o di kaya'y may anino, parating dumedepensa ang mga fans ni Yen na baka naman daw sa ilaw lang o sa anggulo.

Ngunit kung titignan ang mga litratong ito ay hindi na maitatago ang katotohanan: hindi kasing ganda ng sa ibang artista ang kilikili ni Yen Santos. Sa katunyan ay marami itong linya at hindi nga talaga ganoon kaputi.



Para naman sa mga loyal fans ng dalaga ay okay lang ito, at hindi naman nakabawas sa kanyang kagandahan. Ngunit hindi mapipigilan ang mga tayong mapangutya at mapangmata ng kapwa. Sana lang ay perpekto at walang bahid ng anumang hindi kagandahan ang kilikili ng mga nanglalait kay Yen Santos, o di naman kaya'y sana man lang mas maganda ito na naturang artista.


Kayo, sa tingin ba ninyo ay kabawasan sa kagandahan ng isang babae ang pagkakaroon ng kilikili na hindi perpekto? Ipaalam ang inyong saloobin sa pamamagitan ng pag-iiwan ng comment dito:

Do you still remember Janella Denise Yuson Guevara? If not, well, it's because you probably know her by her more famous screen name, Ella Guevara. Now, that rings the bell a little more loudly, right?

Ella was a 5-time Best Child Actress in her hey day in show business, which all started with her joining "Starstruck," one of the most hit talent searches on GMA TV!


First, Ella dedicated her time as a Red Cross volunteer, before becoming an official donor for the international non-profit group!


She also got accepted to the country's premiere state university, UP, where she takes up a course in Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Studies!


It certainly does seem that Ella is no longer interested in dabbling with showbiz as an on-cam talent. Still, with the course she's taking up, we simply have to wait and see what she can bring on the table as a multimedia artist!

After all, her calling might just be behind the camera, working her magic to make art even more beautiful!


Congratulations and best of luck in your endeavors, Ella! May you finish school with flying colors! The world is your oyster, and your fans will always just be behind you.

Andrea Brillantes is a Filipina child actress best known for playing the title character in the 2013 primetime series Annaliza. She also appeared in the television series including E-boy and Alyna and played various other roles.




Her first television appearance was in the children's comedy show Goin' Bulilit. She later appeared in the 2010 ABS-CBN drama series Alyna, where she played Sofia Alvaro, a young girl who is the lost daughter of Alyna (Shaina Magdayao).

In 2012, Brillantes appeared on E-Boy as Princess, a boyish girl who believed in fairy tales. She also made guest appearances in Wansapanataym and other shows from TV5.

In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN, the young actress herself spilled the five things about her which everyone, especially her fans, should take note of.

1. Andrea is a vegetarian. Yes, you read that right! At the young age of 14, she is already conscious about her health. We bet this actress passed on the delicious lechon during New Year’s Eve and devoured a vegetable salad instead, don’t you think?



2. Andrea would love to visit Hawaii. In fact, she desires to enjoy a peaceful life and settle down there with the man that she loves.


3. Her favorite pet is her dog named Oreo. She loves her pet so much that she takes him with her wherever she goes.



4. This might be the biggest revelation among the list. Who would have thought that Andrea owns a pet pig? What a bizarre choice for a pet, Andrea!



Andrea named her pet pig “Lily.” She revealed that her dearest Lily is not living in the house with them. She relayed in a sad tone:

“Wala siya sa bahay naming ngayon kasi ayaw siya ni mommy.”




Also, she stated that Lily was one of the reasons as to why the young actress shifted to a vegetarian lifestyle.

5. And last but not the least, Andrea’s mannerism is peeling the skin on her hands whenever she feels agitated. She said:






“Madalas dumudugo siya lalo na ‘pag naglalaro ako tapos malapit na akong mamatay, ginaganun-ganun ko siya.”
