The teen villainess

- SHOWBUZZ

Showbuzz caught up with her. “We discuss what will happen before the take and I tell her, totohaninn­atin.Ayoko kasi‘yung memorized na movement sa catfight because it will not look natural. But I assure everyone that no matter how she appears to be hurting me in our very physical scenes, we remain friends. Walangpers­onalan. I like her attitude because I can always come to her especially when it in workrelate­d things.”

Viewers may hate her. Netizens may bash her. Biguel fans may abhor her but one fact remains, Kyline is very good at what she does. It’s no wonder that people are talking about this young villainess because she isn’t La Nueva Kontrabida for nothing.

When BG Production­s Internatio­nal showed some scenes from the movie “Almost a Love Story,” which Derrick Monasterio and Barbie Forteza shot in Salento, Italy, the press viewers certainly got excited about the project. The chemistry between Derrick and Barbie was so strong that even BG Films producer Baby Go commented she can feel the electricit­y between her two stars. “Malakasang chemistry nila and very natural. Bagaynabag­aysila . Two beautiful people namasarapt­ingnan,” Baby exclaimed.

Derrick remarked he started to miss Salento after watching their scenes. Shooting there was a very pleasant experience for the Kapuso actor. “I fell in love with Salento. If ever I visit Europe again, I’ll go back to Salento. I love the place and the people. It’s so peaceful, it’s so beautiful and you feel so good just staying there,” he explained.

Their one week stay in Salento for their shoot was enough for Derrick to really appreciate the beauty of the place. “We were able to explore Salento even for a bit. What Barbie and I would was to go around, visit different places and try the food whose names we couldn’t even pronounce! We would also go meet our friends namga Italian nanakilala­namindoon and they would tour us to different places. Sobrang memorable parasaakin­ang Salento.” There is one other thing that Almost Matt Evans a Love Story did for Derrick and that is to stir his passion for another art form in painting. He portrays the role of a young painter, and explained, “Yungmgapin­e- paint kokunwari,si Direk Louie (Ignacio) ang nag-i- sketch. Inuumpisah­anniya and as I watched him, naisipko that I should also try painting. So, when I got back to the Philippine­s and had no schedules yet, nag- paint ako. I did my own version of Van Goh’s ‘ The Starry Night’— mukhang OK namanlumab­as. I was Derrick showed his work to Direk Louie who is also known as a hood painter and who has exhibited his works several times before. “Tiningnank­o‘yung ginawaniya,aba,may texture! Vuma- Van Goh! Seriously, Derrick is good in painting. For maganda angginawan­iya. He should paint more,” said Direk Louie in approval.

With what he heard from Direk Louie, Derrick became more inspired in his new endeavor. He even plans to enroll in an art school.

And by the way, the young actor already sold his first art work. “Five minutes after I posted my work in my Instagram, I already got a buyer. The following day, the buyer picked up my art work and paid me. I can’t believe I was able to make money from something na sinubukank­olang,” he ended.

SHORTS... Matt Evans is happy that even before 2017 ended, he already started with his regular show with GMA, “Sherlock, Jr.” When he joined the network, he did not expect to be given a regular immediatel­y. He is thankful he gets to work again with AiAi delas Alas with whom he has worked before in the other channel.

... Besides her new series “Contessa,” which will soon air on GMA, Glaiza de Castro will be starring in a new project. She is headlining a gigantic new series which has a movie version. The project set in the Spanish colonial era and will require her to do action scenes in which Glaiza is known to be very good. It’s actress because she is also planning for her major concert this 2018.
