Star Magic Ball 2013 : Bea Alonzo

Va-va-voom voluptuous figure of Bea Alonzo in an Ezra Santos gown during the Star Magic Ball 2013. Don't you love that gown on her? I know I do. Well, Bea Alonzo is still one of the best dramatic actresses around. Fresh from her successful romantic comedy movie with DingDong Dantes, Enrique Gil, and Liza Soberano, I'm sure Bea is ready for her next project. But I wonder what it would be..... Her last teleserye (A Beautiful Affair) didn't last that long... and to think it was with John Lloyd Cruz! I wonder if Bea and real life beau Zanjoe Marudo would ever star together in a teleserye? They did come out in a short episode of 24/7 In Love (movie). I guess we'll need to wait for 2014 to find out what's next for Bea Alonzo!

Star Magic Ball 2013 : Kim Chiu

Awarded Moet and Chandon Fabulous Pair award during the Star Magic Ball 2013, Kim Chiu and love tandem leading man Xian Lim continue to gather other recognition. If I'm not mistaken, they also got the ASAP Pop Love Team award. It's good to see Kim Chiu bounce back and also good to see Xian Lim finally make a breakthrough. 

Coming from a successful movie, KimXi tandem may be working on yet another teleserye. Isn't that awesome? But I would love to see Kim Chiu also paired with other leading men. I love Kim's Pepsi Herrera gown during the Star Magic Ball 2013. Now that's what I'd call a ball gown!

Star Magic Ball 2013 : Kathryn Bernardo

I loved Kathryn Bernardo's gown during Star Magic Ball 2013, made by none other than the iconic Francis Libiran who also made Miss World 2013 Megan Young's coronation night gown. Kathryn stars in prime time TV show "Got to Believe" opposite Daniel Padilla. The two were awarded Couple of the Night during the ball. 

I'd say among the teens, these two are leading the pack so to speak. Their box office appeal will be tested once again as they have an upcoming horror movie "Pagpag" this coming Metro Manila Film Festival. I'd say this year's filmfest is one of the best with lots of movies that I would want to watch!!!

Sizzling Diva : Marian Rivera

Congratulations to PMPC Star Awards for TV Best Actress Marian Rivera! I don't get to watch her often but I do know that she's a pretty good actress. My daughter and I last watched her on "Kung Fu Divas," her movie with Ai-Ai de las Alas. Plus, she also guested in a number of shows on ABS-CBN Kapamilya channel during the movie's promotion. It was a surprisingly good and entertaining movie. Love the fight scenes which were well directed in my opinion. Anyway, Marian Rivera was the featured cover girl on Star Studio Magazine October 2013 issue. These two pages were scanned from that issue. No copyright infringement intended. Just for my digital file record. 

Perhaps in the future Marian can also star in a movie opposite any kapamilya actor, since DingDong Dantes has already made a couple of movies with kapamilya leading ladies. A new combination is really good given the right project. 

Glam Nation : Jewel Mische

Throwback photo. Scanned from Star Studio Magazine July 2012. Jewel Mische is one actress I haven't watched in a while on TV. I wonder what she is up to lately. And here I think that she's a pretty good actress. I love her gown featured here. I think it's classy and feminine. Anyway, I hope that Jewel Mische will soon be more visible again on TV or on the big screen. 

Glam Nation : Cristine Reyes

Throwback photo. Scanned from Star Studio Magazine July 2012 issue. Cristine Reyes dons a lovely emerald green gown by Pepsi Herrera when she received her Box Office Queen award. Cristine has a movie that's showing this week, "When the Love Is Gone," a remake from an 80's movie. I've seen the trailer and would want to watch it as soon as my schedule allows. She also starred opposite Gerald Anderson in a recently concluded teleserye on prime time TV. But I do believe she's already included in a new one, "Honesto." Now that's one busy artist!
