Roxanne Guinoo

I remember Roxanne Guinoo from the first Star Circle Quest where she made it to Top 5 together with Melissa Ricks, Joross Gamboa, Sandara Park and Hero Angeles. Her stint as White Castle commercial model was quite the talk of the town. She starred in a few teleserye where she was the leading lady like "Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos" and "Ligaw na Bulaklak." Roxanne got married early part of the year and now has a baby. We have yet to watch her in a comeback project since her last "Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK)" appearance.

Jodi Sta. Maria

Star Magic Ball 2011

Jodi Sta. Maria is truly one of the finest actresses that I enjoy watching on TV. Gone are the teeny bopper days and emerged is a really great actress who truly deserves an acting award. I remember her striking performances on "Walang Kapalit" with Claudine Barretto and Piolo Pascual and "Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara" as the vengeful ghost of Ruth. Currently, it is good to see Jodi back playing Sophia on "100 Days."

Pokwang

I think comediennes like Pokwang have all the fun! They get to be funny yet dress up to be elegant as the rest of the belles of the ball! I actually like her sense of style and the funny get ups she would have on her daily noontime show. There truly is never a dull moment when Pokwang is around.

Kaye Abad

It's good to see Kaye Abad make a comeback after quite some time. I liked her character Pepper on Precious Hearts Romances. I wonder what happened to the Kaye Abad - Guji Lorenzana loveteam that was cooked up as a result of the romance series? KayJi as the tandem is fondly called should make another comeback. I think the last time I watched Kaye was as antagonist to Shaina Magdayao on Alyna. I think she did a great job there and hope she'll be given more challenging projects.

Nikki Gil

Philippine showbiz fans love reel and real life couples. Nikki Gil and Billy Crawford really look good together as a couple. They're both good performers too. Nikki is pretty good in some of her acting performances on TV. I liked it when she was paired with Coco Martin in one afternoon soap opera. Nikki and Billy are both good TV show hosts as well.

Andi Eigenmann

Andi Eigenmann had to take a leave of absence after finishing "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin". Hopefully, the "Agua Bendita" star can bounce back to revive her fame once she has become a mom. This was taken before Andi was launched into stardom via the "Agua Bendita" remake.

Denise Laurel

 

Denise Laurel is one kapamilya star whom I missed when her character Emerald suddenly left the tv show "Kristine" where she starred with leading man Rafael Rosell. I kinda like their tandem since the two were paired in previous Precious Heart romances episodes. There was speculation that Denise was pregnant so she left. All was quiet till she came back and admitted to having a child. Now she's back. Hopefully, her tandem with Rafael will be revived. ^_^

(Star Magic Ball 2010)

Before the Precious Heart romances were shown, stars like Denise had to wait for their break. There were clearly too many lead stars. In a way, it's good that we see lots of newer and younger stars being given a break these days.Denise was in a Close Up commercial and was paired with Sam Milby. She was even linked to him for a while. She was also involved in a picture scandal where her top sort of fell off when she was in a pool.

Mariel Rodriguez

Mariel Rodriguez here attended the Star Magic Ball then with boyfriend Zanjoe Marudo. They were a lovely couple. But Mariel is now happily married to Robin Padilla, after a whirlwind romance that started with being co-hosts for then noontime show "Pilipinas Win na Win!" Mariel co-hosts "Happy Yipee Yehey."

(Star Magic Ball 2009)

Maricar Reyes

I can't help but think that Maricar Reyes is a kapamilya favorite. Since she was discovered and launched, and later on got caught in a sex video scandal, Maricar is hardly absent from tv or movie projects. She has kept mum about the scandal issue and it seemed to turn to her favor. Anyway, I think she's a talented actress.

(Star Magic 2011)

I may not have liked Maricar's role in "Lovers in Paris" remake as Karen, but I did like her Samantha character on "Immortal." I think she stood out in her performance there. I was sorry they had to kill off her character towards the end.

(Star Magic 2010)

Maricar's first attendance at Star Magic Ball. Her guesting role on "Betty la Fea" remake paved the way for her movie and tv appearances, but I believe it was the video scandal that made people pay more attention to her. A few years down the line, perhaps not many would remember it anymore. It will be good to watch Maricar as one of the lead characters in any project.

(Star Magic 2009)

Jewel Mische and Angel Locsin

Angel Locsin attended the Star Magic Ball in 2009 with then boyfriend Luis Manzano. She was then working on her tv show "Lobo" with Piolo Pascual. She was last seen on tv show "Imortal" which is a sequel to the first. She also recently starred in a movie with Aga Muhlach and Jake Cuenca, entitled "In the Name of Love. "

Angel's switch from the Kapuso GMA Network was quite controversial. She was considered the premier talent then of GMA-7. (Star Magic Ball 2009)

Another Kapuso GMA-7 talent who made the switch to ABS-CBN was Jewel Mische. She was linked to GMA-7 premier leading man, Richard Gutierrez. Jewel first starred as leading lady to Gerald Anderson in tv show "Buhawi Jack." Now she's seen as one of the second leads on "100 Days." I hope she gets more challenging roles as she has quite proven she could act when she also starred in an episode of MMK with Baron Geisler. 

(Star Magic Ball 2011)

Shaina Magdayao

The star of Alyna, Shaina Magdaya, looked alluring in her red gown during the Star Magic Ball this year. It has been some months since her 'telenovela' ended. We have yet to hear about her next project. I suppose she's taking it a bit easy after she and boyfriend John Lloyd Cruz have been involved in some scandalous and malicious gossip. 

(Star Magic Ball 2011)

This is the second Star Magic ball that Shaina is escorted by her boyfriend. Amidst a lot of speculation of their relationship being on the rocks, it is good to see they're still together. Last year, the couple indeed looked fabulous.

(Star Magic Ball 2010)

Back in 2009, Shaina was escorted by then boyfriend John Pratts. The two have since moved on to new relationships. Shaina is now with John Lloyd, and John  P. is rumored to be courting "Happy Yipee Yehey" co-host Bianca Manalo, former representative to the Ms. Universe Pageant in 2009.


(Star Magic Ball 2009)

Yeng Constantino

I find Yeng Constantino's fashion sense to be different. I actually admire her punk and sense of style. She dares to be different and stands out. Besides, this pop rock princess is truly talented. She totally rocks! ^_^

(Star Magic Ball 2011)

Yeng looked a bit more traditional in last year's ball. I don't know why but I seem to prefer seeing her look unique and her fashion style stand out. I certainly won't mind seeing her in fashion forward outfit! After all, she is a rocker chick!

(Star Magic Ball 2010)

'Tis the first time I saw Yeng sport a fashion forward outfit. I don't think it was received so well back in 2009. Perhaps that was why she opted for a more traditional look the year after. I'm glad though that she's back in her signature style in this year's ball. 

I wonder what's her next tv project aside from ASAP Rocks. I used to watch Music Uplate Live because of Yeng. She totally rocks and I like her music!

(Star Magic Ball 2009)

Claudine Barretto

Claudine Barretto, the former Star Magic Queen, attended the Star Magic ball for the last time in 2009 before she made the shift to become a Kapuso under the GMA Network. I'm sure she is missed by many of her Kapamilya, ABS-CBN fans. She currently stars in TV show "Iglot" over at GMA-7.

 With Claudine is sister Gretchen Barretto.

(Star Magic Ball 2009)

Kim Chiu

Kim Chiu has come a long way since winning Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition back in 2006. Back then, she's just another new teen star playing mostly teeny bopper roles. She has indeed blossomed into a lady.

Kim is known for her Barbie-like gowns. I find her cute in this one. She's indeed one of the princesses of ABS-CBN. 

(Star Magic Ball 2009)

Kim looks sexier and more matured in last year's Star Magic Ball. I personally think she needs to put on a little more weight as she looks so thin. That's Gerald Anderson in the background -- Kim's long-time love team partner. However, the two apparently split up. Now they're working on separate projects. Both are being teamed up with other artists.

(Star Magic Ball 2010)

Here's Kim now in this year's Star Magic Ball. She's still skinny, albeit more matured-looking. I believe she has grown into a fine actress. I haven't been able to watch her current show "Binondo Girl" but I was able to watch the first week marathon re-runs and think she's doing a great job in it.  I hope she gets more exciting roles in the near future. 

(Star Magic Ball 2011)

Bea Alonso

It seems that there was some reversal of roles here. If Cristine's image went from sexy and daring to sweet, Bea Alonso is the opposite. I must say this look for this year's Star Magic Ball came as a surprise to me. Is it because she's now with rumored bf Zanjoe Marudo? 

I believe that Bea Alonso is one of the few actresses who looks better now that she has matured a bit. She's pretty, true, but now I think she looks more beautiful then ever. 

(Star Magic Ball 2011)

Black is bold. I like Bea's gown at last year's Star Magic Ball. Here you'll see how gracefully she's maturing. She's indeed one of the finest dramatic actresses around. 

(Star Magic Ball 2010)

Bea Alonso's bold and beautiful look this year is a shock if you compare it to her Star Magic Ball 2009 look. It's certainly not as alluring, but it's just as pretty. I wonder what her next project would be after "Guns and Roses" which is due to end by next week.

(Star Magic Ball 2009)

Anne Curtis

Anne Curtis looks fabulous in this black gown. I truly admire how she was able to pull this off when she attended the Star Magic Ball in 2009.

I admire Anne Curtis for her fashion sense. To me, she truly is one of the best dressed female celebrities in Philippine showbiz.

(Star Magic Ball 2009)

Wow! Truly bold and brave in this evening look at  the Star Magic Ball 2010. Anne Curtis is one female celebrity who manages to make me stop and take a second look. She has this lovely classic look I like.This look would not look as hot in a lesser star.

(Star Magic Ball 2010)

KC Concepcion

KC Concepcion looks so lovely in this gown. So far, this is my fave look since she first attended the Star Magic Ball in 2009.

KC is my the first one I featured here because she's also one of my favorite local female celebrities in Philippine showbiz.

(Star Magic Ball 2011)

KC looks just as stunning during the Star Magic Ball in 2010, her second year of attending the ball.

KC is one of my favorites because she's so versatile. She can sing, dance, host, and act. But what I love most about her is she's also a UN World Food Program Ambassador. For me, that's like a real life princess.

(Star Magic Ball 2010)

KC wore this Joey Samson gown back in 2009, her first attendance at the Star Magic Ball.  It's the first time heartthrob Piolo Pascual brought a date and it was KC. I must say I'm a Piolo Pascual - KC Concepcion fan.

I must admit KC's gown wasn't too flattering. Nonetheless, it stood out as it's unique and different from most of the gowns of the other lovely ladies in attendance.
