JC Santos no longer part of Kim Chiu's upcoming movie

MANILA – Kapamilya actor JC Santos confirmed that he is no longer part of “Ghost Bride,” the upcoming movie of Kim Chiu and Matteo Guidicelli.

Speaking to entertainment site PEP, Santos said he doesn’t know why he was removed from the project, which is under the direction of filmmaker Chito Roño.

 “'Di ko alam kung anong nangyari. Hindi ko rin alam ano nangyari doon. Hindi rin naman nasabi sa 'kin na hindi na ako kasali," he said.

Asked if he feels bad abou it, he said: "Hindi naman masama 'yung loob ko kasi 'yun nga, sanay na ako sa kung hindi ka talaga puwede sa role, hindi talaga."

Back in February, Santos even attended the film’s story conference along with Chiu, Guidicelli and the other members of the cast.

At that time, Santos shared how excited he was to be given a big project such as “Ghost Bride.”

“Sobrang saya kasi wala naman akong ine-expect. Akala ko pagkatapos ng ‘Till I Met You,’ babalik na ako sa theater. And then may offer ang Star Cinema sa akin na sobrang wow. It’s very heartwarming naman na mabigyan pa rin ako ng pagkakataon para makapag-share ng talent,” he said at the time.

While he is no longer part of the Star Cinema movie, Santos is the lead actor in the upcoming film “100 Tula Para Kay Stella” opposite Bela Padilla.

The movie is one of the films, which will be shown during the inaugural Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino later this month.

LOOK: Matteo shares underwater photo with Sarah

MANILA – “The best.”

That’s how Matteo Guidicelli described his experience of swimming with whale sharks with his girlfriend, singer-actress Sarah Geronimo, in Oslob, Cebu last week.

On Saturday, the actor took to Instagram to share their underwater photo, which immediately garnered thousands of “likes” and hundreds of comments from their supporters.

The picture shows Guidicelli guiding Geronimo with two whale sharks on their side.


Prior to Guidicelli’s post, several photos of him and Geronimo holding hands as they visited the popular tourist attraction already circulated in various social media sites.

Gudicelli and Geronimo first made public their relationship more than two years ago.

In his StarStudio interview, Guidicelli said he and Geronimo want to keep their relationship low-key as much as possible and very close to normal.

“Siyempre, she’s my princess. I take care of her, but I want to show her what reality is, what life is. That everywhere you go, you won’t walk around with an entourage, or be treated like a VIP,” he said.

Despite the absence of actual marriage talks between them, Guidicelli has described his girlfriend as "the one" for him.

"She brings a lot to the table and I have my own things to bring to the table. I guess we complement each other. We are not the same in many things and marami kaming mga opposites but I think when two opposite people come together, they make the table fuller and make it better," he said.

How Sarah reacted to Matteo's sexy music video

MANILA – Matteo Guidicelli did not ask for Sarah Geronimo’s permission when he shot the music video of his single “Ipapadama na Lang,” where he showed off his abs and lean upper body.

Guidicelli, however, told DZMM’s Ahwel Paz that his girlfriend was a bit shocked when she saw the video.

“Sabi niya, ‘Ano ba 'yan? Sobra naman 'yan,’” he said while letting out a laugh.

Guidicelli said the concept was to actually show the beauty of Cebu.

“We just brainstormed. But basically, ang buong concept ng music video is to feature ang kagandahan ng Cebu dahil taga doon po ako. Pinakita namin ang bridge, ang dagat,” he said.


The release of Guidicelli’s music video coincides with the actor’s upcoming solo concert this weekend. Titled “MG1,” the sold-out concert will be held at the Music Museum on November 28, with Martin Nievera and Morisette Amon as Guidicelli’s guests.

Why Matteo Guidicelli won't settle down yet

MANILA – Amid the engagements and weddings of several celebrity couples in recent months, Matteo Guidicelli does not feel pressured to propose marriage to his girlfriend, singer-actress Sarah Geronimo.

In an exclusive interview with the entertainment site Push, Guidicelli said both of them are still relatively young and there are a lot of things which they still want to achieve.

"Not yet. I’m still 24, so I have a lot of dreams of my own that I want to accomplish and prove. I want to accomplish things on my own first,” he said.

Guidicelli, however, clarified that this does not mean he does not want to eventually settle down.

“I’m not saying that I don’t want to tie the knot. It's just I have something that I want to prove,” he said.

The actor said he is happy with his relationship with Geronimo and they are making the most out of what they have.

“I’m just happy I started the year nice. I’m really thankful of everybody’s inspiring comments, you know, so everything is positive. So it's nice and it makes you wake up in the morning with a bigger smile kumbaga,” he said.

Now that Valentine’s Day is coming up, has he prepared anything special for Geronimo?

“We’ll see. I don’t have anything specific yet, pero siyempre naman meron on that special day. So we’ll see,” he said.

Geronimo admitted her relationship with Guidicelli last June.

No sex life? Matteo speaks up

MANILA – Matteo Guidicelli bravely answered questions of allegedly not having a sex life after his co-stars in “Moron 5” teased him about it during the movie’s press conference last week.

In an interview with “The Buzz” which aired on Sunday, Guidicelli said he does not mind when his fellow actors tease him about his personal life, especially he is the youngest among them.

“Wala 'yan. It’s just a brother thing. Magkakapatid kami lahat and we just laugh at each other all the time. Whoever takes it too seriously will get pikon talaga, but I don’t. I don’t really care. That’s our thing,” he said.

Guidicelli is currently in a relationship with Sarah Geronimo. The singer-actress publicly admitted their relationship during the victory party of her latest movie “Maybe This Time” last June.

Although their relationship is being plagued by intrigues, including nagging reports that Geronimo’s mother has become stricter, the two Kapamilya stars seem unfazed as they have been spotted on several dates recently.

Saying he remains hopeful that their relationship will only get stronger through time, Guidicelli said: “With Sarah and I, whatever her values or whatever decisions she and I make, we have to adjust to it and that’s our personal decision.”

When asked directly if it is okay for him to live without sex, Guidicelli said: “That’s part of life. In the Bible, it says you can only do that after marriage. But all of us make mistakes. All of us have experiences so we’ll try to be better in our future relationships and all that stuff so it’s possible. If you really have the mindset, I guess.”

Despite this, Guidicelli said he still wants to end up with Geronimo in the future.

“The reason why I am still here with her and always fighting for her is because I want her to be my last already. Hopefully. We’ll see. We can never tell. Only the Lord knows,” he said.

Jessy, Matteo end 'special' relationship

MANILA, Philippines -- Actress Jessy Mendiola and actor Matteo Guidicelli have agreed to end their special relationship.

Mendiola also clarified that she and her "Paraiso" leading man were never officially a couple.

"Muntik na. Sayang naudlot. Ako din parang 'anong nangyari?'" Mendiola admitted on Wednesday during the press conference for her upcoming series "Maria Mercedes."

Mendiola became close to Guidicelli while doing the afternoon series "Paraiso," which ended its run last April.

"Palagi kaming lumalabas after ng 'Paraiso' at ang daming nagsasabi na 'hala baka pagkatapos ng 'Paraiso' tapos na ang paraiso.' So sa akin siguro on hold muna ang paraiso, Maria Mercedes muna tayo. Para sa akin, napag-desisyunan naming dalawa, mutual na trabaho lang muna," she said, referring to her upcoming series, a remake of the Mexican telenovela that starred Thalia in the title role.

Mendiola but was quick to say that she's not closing her doors to the actor-athlete.

"Kasi we are friends naman ni Matteo and we still talk. ...Happy din ako para sa kanya kasi ang dami niyang trabaho ngayon. Kung pagsasabayin naming lahat baka mabaliw na siya at mag-swim and bike siya away from me," she said, referring to Guidicelli's current sport, triathlon, which combines swimming, biking and running.

Mendiola also denied that Guidicelli broke up with her over the phone. She also clarified her decision to delete all her photos with the actor on her social media accounts and unfollow him on Twitter.

"'Yung sa isyu ng deleting of pictures and unfollowing sa Twitter ...gusto ko lang. Wala lang, dinilete lang, in-unfollow ko lang. Ngayon okay na kami, tingnan natin," she said.

"'Yung sa text at tawag, paano kami magbi-break up eh naudlot nga? Okay sana kung naging kami. 'Yung breakup, I think he is not the person who will do that. Marami lang tao siguro na nagki-create ng story," she added.

Mendiola also stressed that singer-actress Sarah Geronimo had nothing to do with their alleged "break-up."

"Nahihiya nga ako kay Sarah kasi palagi na lang siya ang nadadawit sa pangyayaring ito. May nagti-tweet sa akin nagagalit. Hindi po siya kasali. Siguro nagkataon nagkaroon sila ng show in the States and wala, ayaw ko siyang isama sa nangyayari kasi hindi naman po talaga," Mendiola said.

Asked if she regrets ending her special relationship with Guidicelli, Mendiola replied: "Baka naman matuloy pa. So bakit naman ako manghihinayang? At least ang pangarap ko ngayon (na maging Maria Mercedes) ay natuloy na talaga. Dito ko binabaling lahat, I think it's a sign from God 'hey you have to focus on your career, your work.' Kasi sunod-sunod lahat, TVCs, the show."

Mendiola also believes that right now, she does not need love life to feel complete.

"I think that could wait. I can put my love life on hold but 'yung career kapag nawala ay mahirap bumalik. 'Yung love, iyak mo lang 'yan," she advised.

Maja supports BF Matteo going ‘daring’

MANILA, Philippines – Actress Maja Salvador is all keyed up that her boyfriend Matteo Guidicelli is bound to expand his acting skills by taking on “mature” roles.

Salvador, who got a little sensual in her role in the Kapamilya TV series “Precious Hearts Romances [PHR] Presents Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin” herself, said she’s giving her Fil-Italian beau full support in his latest undertaking.

"I’m very excited na gagawa na siya ng mga gano’ng role,” Salvador was quoted as saying in a report by PEP posted on May 3.

Guidicelli is set to star in an upcoming “PHR” series titled “Isla” opposite budding actress Jessy Mendiola.

As to her going “sensual,” Salvador clarified she would only bare some skin if the role requires it; and if it does, then she would be ready to deliver.

“Kung sa next project kailangang maging mas sexy, hindi po ako tumatanggi,” she mused aloud.

She reasoned, “Hindi naman mabubuo ang isang love story kung walang ganung parte ng love story.”

Asked if she seeks her sweetheart’s approval whenever she considers projects, specifically the sexy ones, she joked, “Wala siyang magagawa, ako ang batas!”

On a serious note though, she said that she informs Guidicelli about such roles but her telling him isn’t really for his permission. “Hindi ko siya manager,” she stated.

However she emphasized that Guidicelli backed her when she took on the slightly daring role in “PHR,” adding, “Hindi lang siya nanonood.”

Urian nod

Meanwhile the 23-year-old actress was brimming with pride about her recent Best Actress nomination from the prestigious Gawad Urian for her film “Thelma.”

The dancer-TV Host shared that she was shocked upon learning that she was nominated alongside seasoned stars like Lilia Cuntapay (“Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay”), Eugene Domingo (“Ang Babae sa Septic Tank”), Isabel Lopez (“Cuchera”), Alessandra de Rossi (“Ka Oryang”), Cherie Pie Picache (“Isda”) and Diana Zubiri (“Bahay Bata”), among others.

“Kasi, kahit ma-nominate ka lang doon, para ka nang nanalo ng Best Actress talaga, eh,” she mused aloud.

She continued, "Iba ang feeling na ma-nominate ka, [ibig sabihin] may tiwala sila sa talent mo, may tiwala sila sa proyekto.”
