OFFICIAL: Anne Curtis In Hollywood Film Titled “Blood Ransom”

June 6, 2012 | 18 Comments

Finally, it is official as it’s ever going to be! Anne Curtis landed a Hollywood film with the current working title, “Blood Ransom.” Production is in the works! The details, the fact vs fiction, and the hype are all below.

Quick Recap

On May 23, she announced her departure out the country and bid all Show Time viewers goodbye. With all the optimism in the world, she hinted good projects were in store!

Just two weeks ago, Ogie Diaz broke the news early. His tweets read:

Truth: 1 month mawawala sa bansa si Anne Curtis dahil naka-cast sya sa isang Hollywood film. Full length ang role…Truth: naghahanap ng isang Pinay ang isang sikat na Hollywood casting director at si Anne Curtis ang napili. Excited si Anne.

Twitter buzzed and Anne Curtis denied Ogie’s statement, saying, “Mali po kayo.” It turns out Ogie Diaz was correct on both fronts. So is Anne the liar? Anne, being Anne, had this to say.

Word!! ;) More twitter buzz:

Facts VS Fiction

1) The first tweet Anne sent out to announce her film

2) These are the only images Anne has retweeted so far

  

3) The film is not a film adaptation of Sophie McKenzie’s novel of the same title. 

4) She is not the only Filipino(a) in the film. There is more. The official list of the entire cast is right here (Click for Link).

I am the happiest pickle in the world. Go Anne!

Note: This story just broke out less than an hour since Anne’s announcement. Details are still fresh. Come back for live updates! Comments below, peeps! ;)

Anne Curtis Lands First Hollywood Film?

May 25, 2012 | 5 Comments

No doubt about it, Anne Curtis’ is on fire. Just last month, Anne had the privilege of donning Francis Libiran pieces for America’s Next Top Model. America’s Next Top Model, otherwise known as one of the most broadcasted fashion/modeling TV series in existence with a presence in not only the US but in over 170 countries/regions.

In Francis’ own words, “I picked Anne for this photo shoot; because for me, she represents the perfect Filipina.” Amen.

Before we talk more of Anne in Hollywood, let’s pay a little Anne and Francis tribute. After all, they’ve both already made a Hollywood splash. A quick walk down memory lane:

Hollywood Film for Anne?

Now, it looks like Anne is on to more in the international arena, like say a “full-length role” in a Hollywood film. At least, that’s what Ogie Diaz had to say on Twitter. The exact conversation:

Whether Ogies’ source is valid or not, his words became the talk of twitter and caught the eyes of more than one news source.

ABS-CBN News have echoed some speculation themselves, acknowledging it isn’t more than just that. Yet!

Looks like we’ll have to wait and see before we know anything for sure.

Anne Promises to Return

Anne made news of her departure via Show Time. As soon as she told us she was leaving, she made sure we knew she was coming back. As ABS had to say,

“I was so emotional because I made a special announcement that I will be leaving for a month. Kaya ako naiyak kasi super effort sila, may pa-fiesta pa, send-off party, so nakakatuwa,” Curtis said.

“It’s something to do with pursuing my dream. It’s a new chapter in my life, something that’s challenging. I just really, really want to do it,” she added.

Meanwhile, Curtis assured her fans that she will come back soon.

“Babalik ako, may teleserye pa akong tatapusin, may pelikula pa akong tatapusin. I really have to come back, may contrata ako so kailangan kong bumalik,” she said.

One things for sure, she won’t leave her fans hanging.

Literally only a couple hours before I published this blog, Filipino Blogger Bryan Boy was announced the next season judge of America’s Next Top Model. Once again, Filipinos make an international splash for Fashion.

KLOUT: The Most Influential People in the Philippines

March 20, 2012 | 1 Comment

For most of you, the word Klout doesn’t mean anything. In just 6 months, it’s going to mean everything for the marketing world.

What is KLOUT? & What’s the Big Deal

Klout is a new company that studies everyone’s social media analytics based on their social media applications. And, that’s just a complicated way of saying–Klout measures a person’s influence primarily via the biggest of social media, twitter and facebook. By some wildly-complicated algorithm, it calculates every twitter retweet/facebook share/youtube hit/etc and pops out a ”Klout score”, simply on a scale from 1 to 100. That Klout Score is becoming the “de facto” official measure of someone’s influence. An average person rocks an average score of 20. Only Justin Bieber scores a perfect 100. Lady Gaga is currently at 93. Kim Kardashian, 92. Barack Obama, 91. Ellen Degeneres, 89. Katy Perry, 89. Pete Cashmore (behind Mashable), 90. Oprah, 85. David Archuleta, 72.

And, I already know what you’re thinking. Whose got the biggest Klout Score in the Philippines?! Teka-teka-teka-teka!

At the moment, no one in the Philippines have hit the 90′s mark. As far as I can tell, there’s less than 10 people so far in the entire world.

I give you the first official listing of the “Philippine’s Most Influential People” via Klout:

KLOUT: The Most Influential Filipinos

    1. 81 – Anne Curtis

    2. 80 – Vice Ganda

    3. 76 – Paolo Feliciano 

    4. 76 – Xian Lim

    5. 74 – KC Concepion

    6. 73 - Angel Locsin

    7. 73 - Bianca Gonzales

    8. 72 – Luis Manzano

    9. 71 – Kim Atienza

    10. 71 - Julia Montes

    11. 70 – Kean Cipriano

    12. 70 – Angelica Panganiban

    13. 70 – Maxene Magalona

    14. 70 – Jasmine Curtis-Smith

    15. 69 – Tim Yap

    16. 68 – Sarah Geronimo

    17. 68- Karen Davila

    18. 67- Derek Ramsay

    19. 67 - Kris Aquino

    20. 67 – Sam Milby

    21. 67 – Lea Salonga

    22. 67 – Karylle

    23. 67 – Pokwang

    24. 67 - Mo Twister

*President Noynoy Aquino is currently at a 52.

** Figures fluctuate on a day-to-day basis, normally not more than a point at a time

KLOUT’s Relevance

Truthfully, we all know Boy Abunda, Piolo Pascual, and John Lloyd would have made the list had they ever bothered with a Twitter account.

It’s not as if the thought never crossed their mind. Given their influence, of course, “no social media” was a deliberate decision, not one easily made. Respectfully, they are so well into their careers; at the moment, there’s no question who’s the Philippine’s “King of  Talk” or “Box Office King.” But given enough time, might some young starlets enter the picture? The world will know when Anne Curtis’ fanbase hits 3 million on Twitter. But, it would seem the gap between what we know of Annes’ fans and what we don’t know of Piolo’s keeps on growing. No pressure, Papa P.

So, just how influential is the measurement of the influential? With the onset of Twitter, fame already has itself a measurement, but there’s a big difference between Twitter and Klout, and that’s just because there is a fundamental difference between fame and influence.

There are a lot of people on Twitter with fame who don’t actually influence their followers in any way. Case-in-Point: The Charlie Sheen Melt-down. Charlie Sheen, once the highest paid actor in television, publicly challenged his studio to either increase his pay or cut his contract. When studio CBS booted him off the show, he had a very public melt down and made twitter history by becoming the first and only person to garner a million followers in just one day. Clearly, Charlie Sheen accomplished fame. But, influence? And, there’s the difference.

What Do You Think of the Most Influential People in the Philippines? What do you think of Klout in general? Cool? Creepy? Share your thoughts. (Sebastian’s Klout here)

Ravelismo T.V. Review: A Brief Overview of Showtime and Eat Bulaga.

March 18, 2012 | 2 Comments

Reblogged from Ravelismo!:

Noontime shows. Years ago, elite people look at these stuffs as it was a form I.Q. degenerating machine, brainless, stupid and just bakya. But the days of trash talking noontime shows were over, and the gap between Tim Yap and Kris Bernal is slowly trimming. In the noontime shows, at least.

Why should I say so? Look at Eat Bulaga…

Here is one Filipino's take on Vice Ganda & Noontime Shows. Albeit straightforward, you can tell there is some definite thought behind all he had to say. In his own words, he argues, "If not for Vice Ganda, Showtime might end up another failed attempt to destroy hilariously stupid Sis." #foodforthought
