MANILA, Philippines - Q-11 welcomes December with a big bang as it launches Drop Dead Diva, Pinoy Silver Screen, Takeshi’s Castle, and Tweetbiz.
First off on Dec. 4 is the Asian TV premiere of Drop Dead Diva. From the reputable Sony Pictures Television, the Hollywood TV series stars Brooke Elliott.
In the back-from-the-dead story, Brooke plays Deb Dobson, a model wannabe who, after meeting a fatal car accident, returns to life in the recently deceased, plus-size body of Jane Bingum, a brilliant attorney. Its dramedy and fantasy elements mixed with commentaries on body image and women in the workplace are sure to glue women to their seats every Friday night.
Pinoy Silver Screen, meanwhile, brings box-office Pinoy movies in the comfort of one’s home starting Dec. 5 and every Saturday night from then on. First on its roster is I.T.A.L.Y., which stars Dennis Trillo, Rufa Mae Quinto, Jolina Magdangal, Rhian Ramos, Mark Herras, and Eugene Domingo. Next on the list is the Marian Rivera-Richard Gutierrez tandem in My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend followed by Bongga Ka Boy, Ikaw Pa Rin (Robin Padilla and Ai-Ai delas Alas) and Lab en Kisses (Vic Sotto and Vina Morales).
Making a comeback on Q-11 on Dec. 7 is Takeshi’s Castle, led by the witty, wacky tandem of Joey de Leon as Master GT and Ryan Yllana as Capt. B. Premiering on the same day is the showbiz talk show Tweetbiz. Led by showbiz insiders Tim Yap, Mr. Fu, and Sam Y.G. as Shivaker, together with their teams of paparazzi, Tweetbiz not only brings viewers the hottest and the latest in and around showbiz but rates each tidbit from the most shocking news to the plainest gossip. The show also has an online section on WMN.ph for those who are not only into watching but also reading showbiz headlines.
