WOW I hope this news aint true. a what the heck. hehehe
Gian Magdangal fully supports Sheree in her daring roles and sexy image
Kung naiba-ibang lalaki lang siguro na taga-showbiz itong si Gian Magdangal, makikita rito ang disgusto kahit paano sa pagkakaroon ng girlfriend na sexy star. Masyadong bloated ang male ego na pinaiiral ng maraming artistang lalaki, but Gian is not at all bothered.
"Bakit hindi? Kasi hindi ko naman iniisip na negative ang pagka-sexy ng image ni Sheree. She's doing it as part of being an actress. I'm proud of that. Hindi naman siya gumagawa ng mga kababuyan," paliwanag ng Philippine Idol finalist sa premiere night ng pelikulang RoXXXanne, na pinagbibidahan ng girlfriend niya na si Sheree, kagabi, October 10, sa UP Film Center, Quezon City.
Hindi makitid ang utak ni Gian para hindi matanggap na trabaho lang ang ginagawa ng kanyang girlfriend, despite the fact that he himself is starting on the right foot as a wholesome idol.
"Wala kaming planong basta i-deny ang relationship na ito," sabi ni Gian. "Hindi namin iniisip na itago, but just be discreet about it. Okay, alam ng mga tao na mag-on kami, pero hindi ito ang dapat naka-focus sa amin dahil may kanya-kanya kaming image at career, di ba?
"Pero sa showbiz, pag-uusapan at pag-uusapan ang tungkol sa bagay na 'yan, kaya ano ba ang magiging problema namin? We just want to be ourselves, and enjoy our relationship. Huwag na lang basta intindihin ang sasabihin ng iba, basta ba wala kaming natatapakang ibang tao," paliwanag ng singer.
SUPPORTIVE BOYFRIEND. Gusto raw ni Gian na suportahan si Sheree in whatever way he can. Kung kaibigan nga lang niya, nasusuportahan daw niya, ito pa kayang girlfriend niya?
"Parang ang pangit naman na dahil lang sa sexy ang pelikula, ayoko nang panoorin," sambit ni Gian. "Doon kasi sa nagsasalita ng kung anu-ano against RoXXXanne, panoorin na muna kasi nila ang pelikula at saka nila ako balikan. I am confident na wala na silang masasabi pa, kasi noong ginagawa pa ni Sheree ang movie, napapag-usapan na namin 'yan.
"At pinagkatiwalaan ko siyang mabuti, and I should be very supportive. Hindi ko naman dapat yatang sabihin sa kanya na tigilan na niya ang pagpapa-sexy, kasi that's part of her being an actress. She wants to be taken seriously also, at depende pa rin 'yan sa gagawin niyang projects. Jun Lana ang writer at direktor nila, so dun pa lang, I should be confident na matino at maganda ang kalalabasan ng pelikula.
"I don't have the right to tell Sheree what and what not to do. Alam niya ang ginagawa niya sa pag-aartista niya. The same way na hindi niya basta sasabihin sa akin, dapat na ang kinakanta ko rock o kaya R&B, and hindi naman 'yon ang forte ko. Respetuhan lang naman 'yan sa choices, and these things have nothing to do with our personal relationship," paglilinaw ng singer.
Nilinaw rin ni Gian ang balitang nagbabantay siya sa set ng RoXXXanne.
"Masyado naman akong abala para magbantay pa sa set," natatawang sabi ni Gian. "Mga isa o dalawang beses lang akong dumaan sa set dahil wala naman akong ginagawa, at hindi para magbantay. Umalis din ako agad dahil ang gusto ko lang makita si Sheree at magkausap kami."
PHILIPPINE IDOL ON GMA-7. Samantala, natutuwa si Gian dahil ang Philippine Idol ay nasa GMA-7 na, kung saan masasabing Kapuso itong si Gian dahil regularly ay napapanood siya sa SOP.
Naitanong namin sa kanya kung may panghihinayang ba na sana, ang naunang Philippine Idol ay hindi sa ABC-5 umere kung hindi sa isang malaking network gaya ng GMA-7?
"Walang panghihinayang, basta mas natuwa lang ako na ang susunod na Philippine Idol, nasa GMA-7. Kasi nasa GMA-7 na rin ako kaya hindi ako dapat manghinayang, di ba? Actually, may halong lungkot din dahil nawala na sa ABC-5, e. Kami noon, masaya kami sa pagsisimula ng Philippine Idol dahil nagtiwala rin kami sa ABC-5 noon.
"Magkakaroon lang ng pagbabago sa pamamalakad. Dahil noong nasa Singko pa ang Philippine Idol, I'm very sure may mga mababago ngayong nasa Siete na—and it should be for the better," banggit ni Gian bilang pangwakas.

GMA vs ABS-CBN
There’s a new battle to be fought come early next year between the two giant networks. With GMA 7 clinching the rights from Fremantle Media to air "Philippine Idol," the network is undoubtedly pitting it against ABS-CBN’s Endemol franchise for "Pinoy Dream Academy."
While "Philippine Idol," the local franchise of the highly popular "American Idol," is a virtual singing competition, "Pinoy Dream Academy" is a reality talent search, where the participants are billeted in one house for the entire duration of the contest.
"Philippine Idol" and "Pinoy Dream Academy" are reportedly airing against each other on primetime TV early next year. This is expected to change the competition in evening programming, presently dominated by teleseryes and big-budget action-fantasy dramas. When the singing contests battle it out against each other for primetime ratings, then it’s a different and exciting battle for the two giant networks.
Meanwhile, ABC 5 has issued its official statement after losing the "Philippine Idol" franchise to GMA 7. ABC 5 said Fremantle wanted to give them other franchises for programs, but they simply wanted "Philippine Idol" and do the contesting their own terms.
When GMA 7 came into the picture and was willing to absorb other Fremantle formats, the latter granted the "Idol" rights to GMA 7. In no time, GMA 7 presented its local version of "Celebrity Duets," a Fremantle original production which is now one of the top-ratings shows on the network, hosted by Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid.
ABC 5 is aware GMA 7 gave a better offer to Fremantle, that’s why the latter got the "Philippine Idol" rights. But lest everyone forgets, ABC 5 wishes to remind viewers that they are the first network to buy foreign program formats and break new ground in primetime TV. They produced local versions of "Family Feud" (hosted by Ogie Alcasid) "The Price is Right" (hosted by Dawn Zulueta) and "Wheel of Fortune" (hosted by Rustom Padilla).
ABS-CBN simply followed suit with its Endemol franchises for "Pinoy Big Brother," "Deal or No Deal," "Pinoy Dream Academy" and more recently, "One Versus One Hundred." GMA 7 is the last one to join the fray by virtue of its tieup with Fremantle Media.
Poor Mau Marcelo, the champion of "Philippine Idol" on ABC 5, has to suffer. Mister Showbiz heard she will not be recognized by GMA 7 as the winner of the first season. Runners-up Gian Magdangal and Jan Nieto have signed up with GMA 7.
