Maja walang pakialam sa pakikipaglampungan sa starlet ni Gerald

Wow, Salve A., ito ang dapat abangan.

Finally, ma-sight na kaya ng madlang people na magkasamang manood ang controversial couple na sina Gerald Anderson at Maja Salvador ng On the Job, first international film ng aktor, which will have a special screening tomorrow, Aug. 26, sa Robin­sons Magnolia?

Attendance, by the way, is strictly invitational.

In any case, ’pag nagkataon, this is the first time na makikita ang dalawa in public.

Kung sabagay, tunay na maipagmamalaki ni Gerald ang pelikula. OTJ (On the Job) is a realization of a dream come true for him. Dream niya ang mapasabak sa isang action film and eventually become an action star, if that is possible, aniya.

Excitement still envelops Gerald every time sa mga interview ay dini-detalye niya ang intensity ng bawat eksenang action ng pelikula. Actually, ’di lang kanya kung hindi pati na ng kanyang mga co-star na sina Piolo Pascual, Joey Marquez, Michael de Mesa, Rayver Cruz, at Leo Martinez.

Featured are leading ladies Angel Aquino, Vi­vian Velez, Empress, at Shaina Magdayao. Introducing naman si Dawn Jimenez.

Equally exciting daw is his love scenes with Dawn, na talaga raw napaka-sensuous. Kaya dapat abangan daw talaga ang pelikula.

Biro namin kay Gerald, hindi kaya magselos si Maja?

‘‘I doubt it,’’ sagot ni Gerald. ‘‘Artista rin siya. And we both know that whatever we do on the big screen is but part of our job bilang artista.’’

Guess why Gerald would consider the name Dawn a most significant one of him these days?

Well, simple lang naman.

He is with another Dawn, this time si Dawn Zulueta, who plays his mother in his soon to be released TV series Bukas na Lang Kita Mamahalin.

‘‘Until I worked with her in Bukas…, ’di ko akalain na napakagaling niyang artista. Bukod, of course, sa napakaganda niya, lalo’t up close,’’ sabi ni Gerald.

Most believe, Dawn looks too young para maging anak si Gerald, kahit lang ba on TV. But Dawn obviously, like Gerald, believes that as an actress, she has no excuse not to portray any role offered to her. And Gerald attests, na sa mga eksena nila bilang mag-ina, it’s not the age difference between them ang magiging kapansin-pansin kung hindi ang individual performances nila.

Also in the cast of Bukas… are Gabby Concepcion and Cristine Reyes.

Matteo tinawanan na lang ang pagiging playboy

Now, we learned it from the horse’s mouth, wika nga, that there’s nothing special between Matteo Guidicelli and Andi Eigenmann except that they are first teamed up in Galema.

Well, mismong si Matteo ang nagbalita nito sa amin, when we bumped into him at the well attended Swatch event na ginanap last Wednesday, Aug. 21, sa Glorietta 4 Activity Center sa Makati City.

Of the reports na nililigawan din daw niya si Sarah Geronimo, natawa, aniya: ‘‘Parang playboy na ang image ko ha?’’

One of the nicest guys in showbiz, bulong sa amin ni June Rufino, Viva Films executive and PAMI (an exclusive organization of local showbiz talent managers) president, Matteo raw “is one person whom any mom would love to have her daughter bring home to.’’

Sayang at lahat ng ‘‘dalaga’’ ni June ay may asawa na.

Matteo was last linked to Jessy Mendiola. Before Jessy, there was, of course, Maja Salvador.
