Transformers 3 Fails to Beat Transformers 2's First Day Box Office Gross

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The giant "Transformers" robots have shrunk a bit in the early going at the box office.

Distributor Paramount Pictures says "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" launched with $13.5 million domestically in screenings Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

That's less than the $16.6 million that the second of the three "Transformers" flicks, "Revenge of the Fallen," took in from midnight screenings alone two years ago. "Revenge of the Fallen" went on to top $400 million domestically and $800 million worldwide.

"Dark of the Moon" pulled in $5.5 million from screenings that started at 9 p.m. or later Tuesday at about 2,700 theaters. The movie added $8 million at about 3,000 cinemas in post-midnight showings overnight.

The comparison to "Revenge of the Fallen" is worse considering that 70 percent of revenues for "Dark of the Moon" came from 3-D screenings, which cost a few dollars more than 2-D showings. That means even fewer tickets sold than for early screenings of "Revenge of the Fallen," which played only in 2-D.

Still, "Dark of the Moon" is expected to do huge business the rest of the week and over the Fourth of July weekend, one of the year's busiest times at theaters.

Paramount has expanded the movie domestically to about 4,000 theaters.

Who's the Father of Andi Eigenmann's Baby?

Who's the father of Andi Eigenmann's baby?

This is the question that everyone is asking after Eigenmann's mom, Jaclyn Jose, confirmed her daughter's pregnancy.

On Thursday, the camp of young actor Albie Casiño finally spoke up about the issue after Jose's revelation. Casiño is Eigenmann's former sweetheart.

In her official Twitter account, Albie's mother, Rina Casiño, said she is not denying nor confirming that Albie is the father of Andi's baby.

"No one's denying nor confirming. Just saying he is not her 1st bf & I didnt hear ms jaclyn say Albie did u?" Casiño said.

Meanwhile, Jake Ejercito, son of former president Joseph Estrada, has also broken his silence regarding Eigenmann's pregnancy.

In his Twitter account, Ejercito asked people not to jump to conclusions. 
"I'd just like to ask everyone not to jump into conclusions and misinterpret what has been said. I am not Andi's first boyfriend. Let us just respect and pray for her, her baby, and family," he said.

Eigenmann rose to fame by playing the lead star in the ABS-CBN teleserye “Agua Bendita." She is currently a cast member of the hit series "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin."

Her mom earlier said the father of Eigenmann’s child is a former boyfriend who allegedly abandoned her daughter when he found about the baby.

She said the guy is the young actress’ first sweetheart.

“Wala na sila noon. Iniwanan sila noong nabuntis siya. I’m okay with that. I don’t want to talk about him anymore. I don’t have business with him. I feel angry every time I think of him but that's over na,” she said.

Andi Eigenmann Stays With Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin

Actress Andi Eigenmann's character in ABS-CBN's hit TV series "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin (MLKI)" will stay.

Report has it that Eigenmann, who is playing the role of the female soldier Gabriel, will be relieved from the show because she is now 4 months pregnant.

In a statement, Biboy Arboleda, advertising and promotions manager of "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin", stressed that Eigenmann is still with the show.

"Andi Eigenmann is with MLKI. That's the official statement. Nothing more. Salamat," Arboleda said.

On Wednesday, Jaclyn Jose, mother of Eigenmann, admitted that her 21-year-old daughter is pregnant.

Jose who was very emotional about what happened to her child, appealed to the public not to judge her daughter.

She also said that Eigenmann will finish her commitment to MLKI.

Eigenmann rose to fame by playing the lead star in the now defunct hit ABS-CBN teleserye “Agua Bendita.”

Top Pinoy Chefs Will Judge Junior Master Chef: Pinoy Edition

ABS-CBN will soon unveil its newest reality show Junior MasterChef: Pinoy Edition wherein kids compete in various culinary activities. The show will be hosted by Judy Ann Santos and will also feature three top Filipino chefs who will serve as judges.

Push.com.ph interviewed chefs Fern Aracama, Rolando Laudico, and JP Anglo about their feelings in being part of the Pinoy version of JMC. “I stayed in Australia for many years and dun ko napanood ‘yung Junior MasterChef,” shared Chef JP who studied at the Center of Culinary Arts in Manila and Sydney, Australia and later opened Mushu Asian Restaurant in Bacolod. “Every time na napapanood ko ‘yun, I am moved. Ngayon part na ako ng Pinoy version ng JMC, it’s unbelievable. I’m honored to be part of helping improve the culinary industry here in the Philippines na hindi pa masyadong nagbo-blossom.” The three further thanked ABS-CBN for choosing them and giving them the opportunity to show to viewers that at a young age anyone can start pursuing a career in the culinary world, contrary to popular perception that studying to become a chef is only for the rich.

Chef Lau, who studied at Culinary Institute of America and opened Bistro in 2006, described how they have a crucial responsibility as part of JMC. “Magbibigay rin kami ng lakas ng loob sa mga bata. Hindi kasi maiiwasan na sa competition dadating ‘yung point na gusto mo nang sumuko. Kapag ganun we will encourage them na ipagpatuloy lang ‘yung pag-work nila sa dream nila. Baka may mga galing sila na hindi pa nila nare-realize.”

He added that he didn’t agree to be part of JMC so he can become famous and promote himself and his business. Instead he only wanted to inspire many Filipino children who want to be chefs someday to work hard in achieving their dream. “Ginagawa ko ito hindi dahil gusto kong sumikat. Ginagawa ko ito dahil malapit talaga sa puso ko ‘yung pagluluto, at bilang father mahilig din ako sa mga bata. Magandang opportunity ito para maenganyo natin ang maraming bata na matutong magluto at mangarap na someday ay maging top chef. Itong mga bata ng Junior MasterChef I believe sila ang magiging future ng culinary industry sa bansa natin. The more na maraming bata ang magkakagusto sa pagluluto because of this show, ‘yun ang mas important kaysa sa pagsikat namin.”

Among the three, Chef Fern is the more familiar to many viewers since he has appeared in numerous cooking shows on TV before. He obtained his degree at the New England Culinary School in Vermont and later opened Uva restaurant in Greenbelt 2. His busy schedule almost prevented him from becoming a part of JMC. Now that he is finally a judge and a mentor of aspiring chefs, how will Chef Fern manage to convey his verdict of the work of these of the JMC kids? “Dapat positibo lang,” he explained. “Tutukan mo kung ano ‘yung mga ginagawang tama. Syempre dapat honest pa rin. I-point out mo ‘yung mali pero ako kasi mas gusto kong i-uplift ‘yung mga bata kaysa i-let down. I was once a kid who dream of becoming a chef. Honestly ngayon kapag may nagsasabing hindi maganda ‘yung luto ko nasasaktan pa rin ako, e ano pa sila?”

Jaclyn Jose Confirms Pregnancy of Daughter Andi Eigenmann

Andi Eigenmann, who rose to fame by playing the lead star in the now defunct hit ABS-CBN teleserye “Agua Bendita,” is 4 months pregnant, the young actress’ mother confirmed on Wednesday.

An emotional veteran actress Jaclyn Jose faced ABS-CBN News in an exclusive interview to confirm reports that her 21-year-old daughter is expecting her first child.

ABS-CBN News caught up with Jose while taping for a “Maalaala Mo Kaya” episode in Antipolo.

“I just want to tell everyone that, yes, it's true, my daughter is pregnant,” Jose said. “Hindi madali pero kailangan kong tanggapin kasi anak ko siya at mahal ko siya. Wala namang ibang tutulong sa kanya kundi ako at ang kanyang pamilya.”

She said Eigenmann is exactly 18 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and she is doing okay. “I’m taking care of her, akong bahala sa kanya.”

Jose said the father of Eigenmann’s child is a former boyfriend who allegedly abandoned her daughter when he found out about the baby. He said the guy is the young actress’ first sweetheart.

“Wala na sila noon. Iniwanan sila noong nabuntis siya. I’m okay with that. I don’t want to talk about him anymore. I don’t have business with him. I feel angry every time I think of him but that's over na,” she said.

Eigenmann used to go out with Albie Casiño of “Mara Clara.” The 2 did not part ways amicably, with Casiño accusing her of cheating on him.

She is now being romantically linked to Jake Ejercito, son of former President Joseph Estrada and Laarni Enriquez.

“Siyempre, bilang ina, nararamdaman mo na until she finally told me everything,” she said.

Jose admitted that she got hurt when she learned about Eigenmann’s condition. She said she went straight to church after the young star’s confession.

“Una siyempre, ang una mong pupuntahan simbahan. Mananalangin ka. Ibigay mo na lang sa Kanya lahat. Sabihin mo, ‘Ama ikaw na ang bahala. Hindi ko kaya ito. Kung ano man ang desisyon mo, tatanggapin ko ito.’ Ang binigay niyang desisyon siyempre kailangan kong tanggapin,” she said.

She added: ‘Yong galit, ayoko nang i-entertain kasi nandiyan na. Acceptance na lang ‘yong sa akin… Andi is my priority, si Andi lang at ang baby. Silang dalawa lang ang concern ko. Wala na akong concern sa ibang may kinalaman.”



She said she is proud of her daughter for deciding to keep the baby. She said their family fully supports Eigenmann’s decision.

“Noong una, nabigla din siya. After a while, she decided to keep the baby at naging proud naman ako sa anak ko because, at her age, for her to decide on things like that… okay na sa akin ‘yon. I’m proud of her, of what she did, of her decision of keeping the baby,” she said.

“Tanggap lahat ng pamilya ko. Wala namang problema. Mahal namin ‘yan, mahal ng lahat ng pamilya ko si Andi. Alam niya yan, nandito kami behind her all the way,” she added.

When asked to give a message to the guy and his family, the veteran actress said: “Wala na akong hinihiling sa kanila, ni ayoko silang makita. Ayos na kami. Leave us alone. We’re okay.”

She also appealed to the public not to judge the young actress, one of the lead stars of “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin.”

“Alam ko may pagkakamaling nagawa ‘yong anak ko. Hindi ko sinasabing tama, ang puwede ko na lang sabihin huwag na lang husgahan. Bigyan na lang siya ng pagkakataon tutal buhay naman yan… humihingi ako ng pang-unawa sa audience, sa fans ni Andi,” she said.

“Pagkakamali in the sense hindi pa sapat ang panahon. Definitely, the baby is a blessing," she added.

She also said she hopes Eigenmann will be given another chance in terms of her career in show business.

Eigenmann, assured Jose, will finish taping “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin.”

Derek Ramsay Already Married

Amid all the blessings coming his way, actor Derek Ramsay now faces another controversy involving his relationship with actress Angelica Panganiban.

ABS-CBN News was able to get hold of a marriage contract from the National Statistics Office (NSO) showing that "Derek Arthur Ramsay" got married to a 21-year-old "Mary Christine Jolly" last April 3, 2002.

Mayor Reinaldo Castro allegedly wed the two at his office in Balagtas, Bulacan around 3 p.m.

The marriage contract states that Jolly is an Indian-Filipino born in Las Piñas.

Two witnesses signed the marriage contract.

ABS-CBN News sought the help of a family lawyer assess the contract.

According to Atty. Jean Ferry, the marriage is still considered legal because the contract does not contain any annotation of nullification.

An annotation of nullification would mean that a marriage is null and void.

“If the certificate of marriage has no annotation that is required, then on its face, the marriage is still subsisting and still valid...To other persons, he is still married,” Ferry said.

Legal options mulled 

In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, both Ramsay and Panganiban bravely addressed the controversy.

“My lawyers are taking care of the various legal options that we have and handle the issue. It’s being taken care of as we speak,” said Ramsay.

Ramsay revealed he considers this issue personal and sensitive. He, however, clarified that this one is no different from the previous intrigues he and Panganiban have had to face.

“This is a very personal matter which I'll share with everyone... For me, just like all the other intrigues that happen every month, I'll focus on work, and for those who have given support, I want to say thank you and to let you know that she (Angelica) stands by me and our relationship is very strong,” Ramsay said..

“Siyempre, gusto naming harapin na masaya, ‘di ba? So tina-try namin ang best namin na labanan ito, na okay kami,” Panganiban said.

Both Ramsay and Panganiban have decided to maintain a positive outlook in life despite the negative issues they have had to confront.

Meanwhile, the alleged wife of Ramsay is keeping mum and is reported to be living outside the Philippines.
