Richard: Kapuso no more

Richard Gutierrez was once one of the prized possessions of the Kapuso Network. Now he is already a Kapamilya. He’ll be seen with former co-Kapuso star Angel Locsin and multi-awarded Kapamilya actor John Lloyd Cruz in a fantasy teleseries, La

Luna Sangre. He will also star in a movie with Angel and another angel, Angelica Panganiban.

Will Richard regain his crowd-drawing power after about two years of hibernation?

*** Pokwang, Joem Bascon and Paulo Avelino made the crowd at the Oslob covered court run wild by their mere presence last Saturday at the Argentina-sponsored Barangayan.

The crowd was amused at Pokwang’s funny skits. Joem and Paulo received shouts of adulation from their mostly female adoring fans.

*** Has Liza Soberano’s time finally arrived? She recently grabbed the coveted role of Darna.

She will undergo training and dieting. She will also don an updated version of the iconic costume which will still contain the wing on the headdress and the hanging cloth in front of the bottom part of the two-piece attire.

Another break in Liza’s career is her depiction of Ms. Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach’s life story in Maalaala Mo Kaya tomorrow. Let’s watch if Liza can give justice to the challenging role.

*** Despite having her hands full as aesthetic and business partner of Lalen Calayan and the husband-and-wife team of Michel and Amparito Lhuillier for the MLCalayan Clinic, singer Selina Sevilla does not relegate her being a singerperformer to the background.

She is said to be preparing some breath-taking stunts to accompany her musical numbers when her Selina’s Castle of Beauty opens at Parkmall ( June 8 for the soft opening and June 18 for the grand opening).
