The shoot of I.T.A.L.Y that is. Heehee. And boy do I have some tidbits for you guys.
At the shoot of I.T.A.L.Y Rhian Ramos passed the time between breaks by playing with her Rubix cube, as well as hanging out with Mark Herras! Rufa Mae Quinto and Jolina Magdangal couldn’t have too much of each other—after taking their scenes, the two were seen catching up as well. After all, it’s not every day that the two can spend so much time together. Eugene Domingo was burning copies of pictures she has taken of the cast and crew. Director Mark Reyes was so proud of his new show, Codename: Asero that he allowed us a sneak preview of what’s to come. And let me tell you, everything looks amazing - especially the scenes shot in Dubai! Movie quality? You bet! And when you watch the movie, see if you can spot yourselves some iGMA writers and production folks. Spotted! At SM North EDSA’s The Block, Alessandra de Rossi being interviewed in front of Simply Perfect [a spa]—I wonder why. Behind the Scenes Jan Nieto, Bryan Termulo and Harry Santos are part of SOP’s You Got Male segment—but outside the set, the three have also found they share more than singing in common. So much so that even after their SOP engagement, they still hang out together! After their live performance at Unang Hirit, four very energetic Sugarpop members bounded out of the elevators and into the GMA lobby belting out the song they just sang—MariMar’s love theme, ‘Mahal Kita’. At the Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita set, the tension-filled air of the heavy drama was broken by the arrival of Fanatxt winners! Yasmien Kurdi and JC De Vera’s fans caught up with their idols, talking about a lot of things—which you can read about here on iGMA! One of Yas’ fans sang her a Korean song—remember how much the actress loves Korean soaps? And one of JC’s fans got lucky—getting two hugs from the hunky Derek! Also at the BADK set were Paolo Contis who was kidding around with the crew before suddenly shifting into his Tyrone character—gun-totting and raring to kill a certain character on the show. To find out who, I hope you've been watching the show. *wink* By the way, actors are human too! When Patrick Garcia and JC De Vera got hungry, the lunch scene became all too real. While the camera was just about to roll, both boys snuck some food into their mouths. Chew fast and good, guys! Diana Zubiri laughed as Patrick had to put down the plate of corned beef again, when an airplane noise forced them to retake the scene. Style Stats The next time you see him you might have to ask yourself 'Is that Marky Cielo?' The Dancing Divo recently had a haircut—and it seems, he also changed his hair color! On the Set of Asero’s pictorial Heart Evangelista is one very early bird—though she wasn’t expected to the shoot early, the newest Kapuso star made it a point to already be there to be prepare herself for the long photo shoot ahead. Chynna Ortaleza is back on primetime, and she’s teaming up with Richard Gutierrez again. But this time, an edgier and more different Chynna will surprise the audience! With her shorter hair and more fashionable look, will her fans still be able to say: “That’s Chynna!”? Richard Gutierrez is really keeping a close on eye on his baby—while the creative forces were deliberating on how Asero’s title card would look like, he made it a point to join in the conversation and weigh in with his opinions. In between costume changes, Richard worked out his biceps—to make sure he fills out in all the right places. Another one with a new image, Ehra Madrigal was working her new very Japanese-inspired look. Why very Japanese? You’ll have to wait and watch Asero to find out. Annabelle Rama couldn’t let the day pass without giving her son a supportive visit! She dropped by with her entourage on the pictorial of Asero. The very energetic Janno Gibbs is very supportive of his fellow actors, and during Rainier Castillo’s time in front of the camera, he didn’t hesitate to help the relatively younger actor in striking the right poses. And ‘lo and behold, the end results looked really good.
