Direk Bobet Vidanes Resigns as “It's Showtime” Director?

According to PEP Alerts, It's Showtime director Bobet Vidanes has resigned, a reliable source reported. The resignation of Showtime genius Direk Bobet as the director of the said ABS-CBN noontime show was due to an alleged misunderstanding of the former with Vice Ganda and other hosts.

Here is the original scoop from PEP Alerts:

Mula sa isang reliable source, nag-resign na raw si Direk Bobet Vidanes bilang direktor ng It‘s Showtime. Ito ay dahil sa hindi raw nila pagkakasundo ni Vice Ganda at ilan pang hosts ng nasabing noontime show ng ABS-CBN. Hindi na raw sinusunod ni Vice si Direk Bobet at ilang araw na rin hindi napapanood ang comedian sa show.

If the said scoop is indeed true, it will be a saddening decision since from the very first day Showtime was conceptualized, Direk Bobet and the rest of the hosts treat each other as a family. That is the secret of Showtime's success.With Direk Bobet's rumored resignation, who could possibly be It's Showtime new director? Could this be the end of a family (or even the show which did not rate well compared to its rival Eat Bulaga) three years in the making?Photo courtesy of Coolbuster.net

Vice Ganda denies relationship rumor with FEU cager

Vice Ganda denied the rumors that he is having an affair with FEU star cager Terrence Romeo.

The comedian told The Buzz Magasin that he’s just close with the varsity players of the school because he’s an active supporter of the UAAP. He also said that he’s almost always present in the events of the university where he attended college.

But how about his being linked to another FEU varsity player RR Garcia?

The above picture, with RR and Vice in the middle, was allegedly taken in RR’s residence in Zamboanga City and the peeps with them were RR’s family.

Meanwhile, the It’s Showtime host admitted that he’s in a relationship with a non-showbiz guy who’s working abroad as of the moment.

Vice told the magazine that they have been together for years now.

“Sa tagal namin para na din kaming magbarkada,” he said. “Pero may communication kasi tinatawagan ko siya. Ang laki-laki na nga ng bill ko sa cellphone kasi pag nami-miss ko siya tinatawagan ko na lang siya. Nag-emote nga ako noong Valentine kasi wala akong natanggap na teddy bear," he said.

VIDEO: Vice Ganda falls on stage, injured while performing in 'Gandang Gabi Vice'

Vice Ganda fell on stage after doing his opening number at the episode of Gandang Gabi Vice (GGV) tonight.

The comedian was singing Rolling in the Deep by Adele on the sofa, doing the sexy moves when he accidentally fell from the sofa and hit badly on the floor.

It was really a bad fall and much and is worse than Angeline Quinto’s stage fall on ASAP last month.

It was obvious that Vice Ganda was really hurt and he stood up, forgot the song’s lyrics.

But thanks, he was able to finish the said number.

“Ang sakit ng balakang ko,” said Vice after the performance.

The guests tonight were It’s Showtime hosts Anne Curtis, Karylle, Vhong Navarro, Billy Joe Crawford, Kuya Kim Atienza, Coleen Garcia, Jhong Hilario, Jugs and Teddy.

Watch the clip here.

Showtime airs its last episode

What began as a search for the country’s most entertaining acts two years ago turned out to be a hit variety program that launched a thousand trends for Filipinos here and abroad.

The show has, in its own way, established itself as its own brand of entertainment thriving on spontaneity and animated conversations. It is more fun in “Showtime” as it keeps churning out popular catchphrases and gimmicks, draws people and barangays together to showcase their talents, and finds thrill and joy in the most mundane situations.

Since it went on air in October 2009, it became a source of the phrases ‘may nagtext,’ ‘party-party,’ ‘Baliwag University,’ and even propelled terms like ‘havey’ and ‘waley’ from obscurity into mainstream use.

‘Madlang people’ and ‘unkabogable,’ probably the past year’s biggest and most enduring words, are now infused into Filipinos’ everyday discussions and get-togethers.

Its immensely well-known ‘sample’ segment also drives celebrities like its hosts Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Vice Ganda, ‘Kuya’ Kim Atienza, Billy Crawford, Karylle, Jugs Jugueta, and Teddy Corpuz and the numerous actors, entrepreneurs, models, and athletes who served as judges in the show and the ‘madlang people’ out of their comfort zones.

When the crowd starts yelling, “Sample! Sample! Sample!” they should pull out all the stops for a talent exhibition that should be as compelling as possible.

A prominent trendsetter, the program also promoted gimmicks such as the ‘face dance,’ ‘nose-to-nose,’ and the ‘take your shirt off’ portion that became instant hits and endeared by audiences.

The much-anticipated ‘word of the day’ segment also challenges not only the hosts and judges but the ‘madlang people’ to formulate puns of strange-sounding English words.

Amidst its successful run, the show’s hosts remain its true assets. There is never a dull moment what with Vice’s offhand observational humor, Vhong and Billy’s refreshing wit, Anne and Karylle’s undeniable charm, Kuya Kim’s characteristic cleverness, and Jugs and Teddy’s comic quips that all make up for the show’s remarkable appeal. Moreover, it was also in the talent-variety show where the public watched the unfolding of Anne’s wacky side through her often amusing opening chant.

True to the slogan ‘magpasikat,’ “Showtime” has become the public arena in which gifted Filipinos showcase their wide-ranging talents and fulfill their simple wish to be seen on television.

Bringing only the best of Filipino talents, the hit show was the launching pad for dance groups XB Gensan, its Season 1 champion, Laoag Gymnastics Group of Season 2, True Colors of Season 3, and Astig Pinoy of Season 4 that brought collective triumph to the barangays they represent.

Through the show’s ‘barangayan’ aspect, the contestants’ struggles and victory become a shared effort that binds their local communities. As long as the “Showtime” stage is set and ready, there is proof that success is always within reach to those who work hard enough to make their dreams come true.

But through it all, like what they always say "Some good things never last" and so with "Showtime". Just this morning, January 28, the "Showtime" family - from host, dancers, past and present hurados, staff and crew and all the guests that made the show number 1 for the past two years bid madlang people a teary yet wacky goodbye. Because it’s your show and your time, it's “Showtime”.

Sarah Geronimo's solo show 'Sarah G Live!' replacing 'Gandang Gabi Vice'!

Sarah Geronimo will finally have her own solo show, a weekly musical program, soon on ABS-CBN.

Entitled 'Sarah G Live', Sarah Geronimo's show will premiere February 19, that's a Sunday, reportedly replacing 'Gandang Gabi Vice' (GGV), which is a consistent top-rating program. That's what PEP's @scoopbox posted on Twitter last night, but there's no official confirmation yet from ABS-CBN and from Vice Ganda himself if GGV is
indeed going off-air and will be replaced by 'Sarah G Live!'.

Will this just ignite the rumored feud between Sarah Geronimo and Vice Ganda?
If you notice, Sarah never guested on Gandang Gabi Vice since it premiered last May, even if Sarah had a movie to promote, 'Won't Last A Day Without You' with Gerald Anderson.

Sarah also never promoted the movie on Vice's other show, "Showtime". But Gerald did, just him and no Sarah.

The 'silent war' between Vice Ganda and Sarah reportedly stemmed from Sarah not granting Vice's request to guest her on Gandang Gabi Vice during its first few episodes.
That probably explains why it was so easy for Vice to make fun of Sarah when couple Cristine Reyes and Rayver Cruz guested on Gandang Gabi Vice last December.

Remember that episode? The one with a Sarah G impersonator singing 'Won't Last A Day Without You'?

I just don’t understand why ABS-CBN decided not to save one of their highest rated and most-watched program, Gandang Gabi Vice?
