Will Angel Locsin Be Sued by Mother Lily?

Mother Lily to sue Angel Locsin?

Angel Locsin does not cease to become controversial. After leaving GMA 7 and moving to ABS-CBN, the actress is now being hounded by Regal Entertainment matriarch Lily Monteverde because of her (Angel’s) existing contract with the film company.

Mother Lily insists Angel shouldn’t have signed an exclusive contract with Star Cinema for movies, since Angel still has a contract to fulfill with Regal Entertainment. Angel’s two-year contract with ABS-CBN covers exclusivity also for her movies.

The Regal matriarch is so affected by this issue that during the press conference last Thursday for her latest movie "My Kuya’s Wedding," she shed tears when she obliged to comment on Angel Locsin after colleague Mario Bautista asked her about "this talent, who in the beginning was profusedly thanking her for trusting her (the talent)."

Yesterday, Mother Lily was set to meet with Malou Santos, the big boss of Star Cinema, so they can resolve Angel’s problem of signing up with the latter outfit. Mister Showbiz learned Mother Lily is not amenable to a joint venture with ABS-CBN’s film arm for Angel’s next movie.

Mother Lily admits earlier on that she felt bad when she learned about Angel’s film contract with Star Cinema. The Regal producer is threatening to file a damage suit against Angel once the actress starts to work on her Star Cinema project, without Mother Lily’s knowledge. But let’s trust that after Mother Lily’s meeting last night with Star Cinema, they should have arrived at an amicable decision favorable for both outfits.

Since ABS-CBN signed up Angel, the network lost no time in giving her projects. She was given a grand welcome in "ASAP ‘07." She was also fielded in several ABS-CBN shows for guesting stints, like "The Buzz," "Boy and Kris" and "Deal or No Deal."

Angel is also set to start taping soon for her first primetime series on ABS-CBN, "Taong Lobo," where she will be paired with Piolo Pascual. The story is penned by Ricky Lee and Cathy Molina will work at the helm of the series.

Angel and Piolo previously worked together in a TV commercial for a coffee drink and a billboard for a watch company. Piolo will also be Angel’s leading man in the latter’s first film project for Star Cinema.

Angel is endlessly thankful for the warm welcome she received from ABS-CBN, especially the grand party hosted for her in "ASAP ‘07," where she arrived in style – aboard a limousine and in a Rajo Laurel gown.

Angel Locsin: A Crowd Drawer

New Kapamilya star Angel Locsin's presence in ASAP '07 and Kapamilya Deal Or No Deal help propel these ABS-CBN shows to the top in their timeslots.

Angel's grand welcome in ASAP '07 last Sunday, August 19, posted a rating of 20.6 percent while its rival, GMA-7's SOP, got 17.0 percent rating. This is according to the overnight ratings conducted by AGB Nielsen Philippines among Metro Manila households.

On the following day, August 20, Angel was the celebrity contestant in Kris Aquino's game show, Deal Or No Deal, and it got a high 32.8 percent rating. That figure was the highest for any Kapamilya show that day. Angel's guesting in Deal Or No Deal went up against Kapuso telenovela Impostora, which posted 30.0 percent.

Many were expecting that Angel's appearance in Kris's game show would pit her directly against Marian Rivera's Marimar on GMA-7. But since Lupin ended last Friday, its original timeslot was taken over by Marimar, which is now pitted against Judy Ann Santos's Ysabella. The role of Marimar was first offered to Angel, but the former Kapuso star declined.

Angel Locsin vs Anne Curtis

Anne Curtis not insecure with Angel Locsin
With a report from Laila Chikadora

Actress Angel Locsin may have ruffled feathers in her former home after announcing her transfer to ABS-CBN but she is being met with open arms by a former colleague now working for the Kapamilya Network.

Anne Curtis, a former talent of GMA-7, denied reports that she is insecure with Locsin's transfer to ABS-CBN .

“It’s not true. I welcome Angel with open arms,” Curtis told radio DZMM. She also told Locsin's detractors that they should give Angel a break after she was placed on the receiving end of criticisms for abandoning the station that made her a star.

Check out the complete artilce at Angel Locsin vs Anne Curtis.



As you can see on the trend, when they started in the 2nd quarter of 2004, Angel Locsin was as popular as Anne Curtis. And by the 3rd quarter of 2002, Angel soared while Anne hit rock bottom except for 1 month worth of spike in 2005's 1st quarter which didn't hold very long. It is only by the start of 2006's 2nd quarter that Anne was able to pull herself up. Unlike Angel Locsin, Anne Curtis has not been consistent. Angel Locsin's popularity outweighs Anne's by more than 100%.

Angel Locsin vs Piolo Pascual



I thought of comparing Angel Locsin's popularity against Piolo's. As it turned out, Angel Locsin is really on top of her game. No wonder, actors (both popular and rising) want to be paired with her. They just want to take advantage of her fame.

Angel Locsin's career at end?

Article from http://news.balita.ph

Will GMA-7's former teleserye queen, Angel Locsin's untimely decamp to ABS-CBN be the end of her career?

Angel has been the talk of the town for the past two months, especially when she left for London for a two-week fashion designing study.

Her career has been held in abeyance for a while but ABS-CBN says she will soon have her own teleserye with Piolo Pascual.

Varied reactions have been heard from her fans and the warring studios, movie producers and kibitzers; bordering on violence/outrage or different degrees/shades of understanding.

Some have called Angel and "ingrate" or "traitor" for leaving the studio that gambled time, money, effort and immeasurable amount of love so she could become a superstar.

Others insist she is just doesn't possess loyalty and is more interested in money or royalty after earning at least P40 million with GMA-7.

You see Angel around in numerous endorsements, commercials on print and electronic media because she happens to be one of the most effective product endorsers.

She has had some hit movies with Richard Gutierrez but her popularity isn't yet that secure like Claudine Barreto or Judy Ann Santos who has replaced Claudine as the queen of Channel 2.

So what do showbiz's most vocal and feared talent managers say about Angel's decamping to the other side? <>In one one of his live radio shows, Alfie Lorenzo, who manages the late-blooming Judy Ann Santos said: "That would be the end of Angel's career. She reigned supreme at GMA-7 and was treated as a queen, with plenty of perks and expansion. Why should she want to go to Channel 2 and compete with several wanna-bes' for Claudine's crown?"

Alfie added, "Does she think she will get royal treatment from the rival network? Will it be fair if she gets more projects than those who have slaved their lives at ABS-CBN? Do you think she is better in terms of talent, beauty, box-office appeal? She can't dance nor sing, that's a big minus on her."

But the controversial Lolit Solis has other things to say. "What Angel has done is a common phenomenon to the movie world. When a talent wants to earn more money and thinks he/she wants bigger opportunities for his/her talent improvement, why not go to a source who can provide what he/she wants?"

Lolit one time called Angel "traydor" which made her manager, Becky Aguila react with high blood and a promise to answer Lolit's allegation.

Anyway, she said, GMA-7 can always find other better, much younger and potential stars who can outlive the restless and wandering Angel Locsin.

GMA-7 no longer talks about their former studio star but Channel 2 seems to discuss with relish its advantages gained with Angel's transfer to its stable.

As the cliche says," Watch out for the next chapter." (PNA)

Angel Locsin vs Bea Alonzo

Is the fuss going around Angel Locsin's transfer to ABS-CBN (Kapamilya network) worth it? Is she really a gem to be fought over by the 2 networks or is this just a publicity stint to keep her popularity at its height while she's away?

There's this star in ABS-CBN who is not very sexy but is very good in acting. She's been with ABS-CBN for a long time and is always given good projects by the station. Her name is Bea Alonzo.

According to Pinoy Trends, she also is in demand in the cyberworld but not as much as Angel Locsin. What does Angel Locsin have that Bea Alonzo doesn't?
