Manila Magic - April 26, 2007

Fantasy come true
Oyo Boy Sotto will soon star in his own fantasy series titled Engkantao courtesy ABS CBN. The actor's co-stars in the series include Maja Salvador, Melissa Ricks, Denise Laurel, Arron Viullaflor and Matt Evans. Sotto says it has always been his dream to have his own fantasy series. The actor reveals that he is especially interested in starting the shoot as Salvador is part of the cast.

Change of role
Cherry Pie Picache enjoyed playing the villain in the film Hiram Na Mukha. "It was a great role and quite different from the usual comic roles that come my way," says the actress. Picache is supposed to have put in a sterling performance that may also threaten Heart Evangelista's performance in the film. Evangelista plays the lead heroine.

Law no bar
Janice De Belen's unknown boyfriend has passed his bar exams. The television series host's friend passed out of the Ateneo De Manila University. The two have been dating for quite some time and their relatives have approved the relationship.

A confirmed pair
"They fell in love, while they were working together," according to sources close to sweethearts Victor Neri (left) and Sunshine Dizon. The two - who were paired in the television series Bakekang - only admitted that they were seeing each other after several rumours about their off-screen romance did the rounds.

Dare to bare
Christine Reyes admits that she is willing to do a revealing pictorial for a reputed magazine if the pictures are aesthetically shot. The actress also adds that it's her wish to do the shoot in Miami Beach, Florida no less.
