WHITNEY HOUSTON DIED AT 48!

American singer and actress Whitney Houston has died in Los Angeles at the age of 48.

A spokesman for Houston's family confirmed the news, telling Reuters: "Unfortunately, it is true."

Houston was regarded as one of the most celebrated female singers of all time, with hits including I Will Always Love You and Saving All My Love For You.

But her later career was overshadowed by substance abuse and her turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown.

"At 3:55 pm Whitney Houston was pronounced dead at the Beverly Hilton hotel," police spokesman Mark Rosen told reporters.

CARLA ALL SET TO LEAVE GMA FOR ABS-CBN?

A source confirmed to Manila Bulletin Online Entertainment that Carla is definitely leaving her home studio. Her camp has negotiated for her move to be a Kapamilya star as her contract with GMA is about to expire this month.

The same source said that Carla and her manager Arnold Vegafria considered many things before arriving at the decision to leave the GMA fold. But what really compelled her to make the big switch is the network’s priorities when it comes to giving projects to its roster of talents.“Ang priorities daw kasi sa Siyete ay sina Marian Rivera, Barbie Forteza at Bea Binene in that order,” said the source.

IT'S SHOWTIME BEATS EAT BULAGA & KUSINA MASTER IN TOTAL AD MINUTES

Despite weak viewership, ABS-CBN's new noontime program, It's Showtime, managed to outperform rivals from GMA in terms of total ad minutes and product placements!

EAT BULAGA TO GUEST WILLIE IN PINOY HENYO?

TIME heals all wounds. It’s true to form between Willie Revillame and Joey de Leon.

Remember when Joey and Willie exchanged insulting words on air.

Lately, since Willie and Joey are working in one network, it appears they have become good friends again.

Do we hear that Willie is going to spring a surprise on Eat Bulaga show tomorrow, Monday? Oh well, of all the dates he timed it when ABS-CBN’s “It’s Showtime” is entering the time slot against “Eat Bulaga.”

BONG REVILLA AND STAR CINEMA MAGSASANIB PWERSA?

MOST everyone, if not all, always come back to his/her roots.

Mother Lily said she cannot forget that Star Cinema’s first movie na ini-release ay gawa ng kanyang Regal Entertainment, which she, of course, sold to them.

It was titled Adan Ronquillo and had Senator Bong Revilla playing the title role.

Small wonder, that current reports have it that Senator Bong and his sister Andeng Bautista-Ynares, wife of Rizal Governor Jun Jun Ynares, recently had a talk with Malou Santos, managing director of Star Cinema, with the possibility of him doing a movie or, perhaps, co-produce a movie with the film outfit of ABS-CBN.

WILLIE WANTS TO GUEST ON EB TO COUNTER ABS-CBN'S BRAND NEW NOONTIME SHOW!

Mukhang abot langit talaga ang galit ni Willie Revillame sa Dos! Sa napipintong pagsisimula kasi ng bagong noontime program ng ABS-CBN ay ipinahayag ni Willie ang pagnanais niyang mag guest sa Eat Bulaga ng GMA upang tapatan ang higanteng premiere ng It's Showtime! Lumalabas tuloy na "bitter" pa ang dating hari ng Kapamilya Network sa ginawang pagtanggal ng pamunuan ng ABS-CBN sa kanayang naghaharing programa. 

Ngunit malabong patulan ito ng mga taga Eat Bulaga dahil tiwala naman ito na mapapanatili nila ang kanilang napatunayang tibay pagdating sa labanan ng ratings. Kung sakaling patulan ito ng Eat Bulaga ay para narin nilang pinatulan ang kababawan Mr. R na ang tanging nais ay patunayan sa DOS na isang malaking pagkakamali ang ginawa nilang pag tanggal sa Wowowee!
