Quotable quote from James Reid in a social media post: “I don’t like wearing clothes at all.” The absentee singer-actor said that he prefers to be naked all day, especially in the scorching heat of this one hottest summer.    

Enzo Pineda and Edgar Allan Guzman are two of the remaining gentlemen in this post-modern era called Gen Z.

Enzo said in an interview that he preferred having a child with girlfriend, Michelle Vito, only after they have been married. EA, on the other hand, said that he and his girl,  Shaira Diaz, practice celibacy, not engaging in pre-marital sex.

“It could be hard, however,” he also stated. He didn’t indicate what.

Vice Ganda goes under the direction of Jun Robles Lana in what is perceived as a drama- comedy film, ‘And the Breadwinner Is…’

The collaborative project is seen as a step-up for Vice, whose filmography has been limited to comedies that are a mix between slapstick and witty one-upmanship. In the late 70s, Comedy King Dolphy broke his string of comedy flicks by going serious by way of Lino Brocka’s ‘Ang Tatay Kong Nanay,’ for which he won awards. The same may yet happen to Vice, who’s a genuine talent to begin with.

"Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho" stood as Top 1 Philippine TV Program in the first quarter of  2024, based on Nielsen TV Audience Measurement data.

KMJS boasts more than 41 million followers across various social media platforms.
