Pinoy Fear Factor Update: Meet Three More Pinoy Fear Factor Contestants
Elmer Felix, 25, is a Kapampangan hunk who took the board exam thrice to earn his license as a certified veterinarian. Elmer's greatest fears include drowning, deep water, exotic and unusual edibles.
Next is a 25-year-old ramp and commercial model named Gail Nicolas. The sexy body of this lady from Quezon City made her the grand winner of the 2007 Mossimo Bikini Summit. For those who didn't notice, Gail also played the role of Elsa in Gloc-9's and Francis M's music video "Lando."
Also joining this batch is Jommy Teotico from Manila. This 24-year-old guy grew up to be a playboy and easy-going fellow. An incident changed all this, however, and made him decide to be simply the "alaskador" Jommy.

Richard Gutierrez' Official Statement on the Reported Near-Fight with Aljur Abrenica
Richard does not deny that there was some hostility between him and Aljur. In fact, he admits telling Aljur to "leave the table," although Richard says he did this "politely."
Richard denies, however, that he hit Aljur, even if he says he found Aljur distinctly lacking in "social graces." Richard alleges that Aljur "barged in" on him and his friends, sat down, and drank with them when he was clearly "uninvited."
The following is the complete official statement of Richard Gutierrez sent to PEP through a text message:
"Time management is what stars whose schedules are busy need to master, for it is during these moments of privacy that a star can unwind, relax, and de-stress.
"Unfortunately, however, a star like Mr. Aljur Abrenica, an acquaintance, does not seem to understand that stars need space too, and barging in on our table unexpectedly, sitting down uninvited, and partaking of the drinks freely, does not speak well of a person's social graces.
"I politely asked him, after a decent time, to leave. That was what the incident was all about.
"Ms. Jewel Mische, if I may correct the PEP report, was not at the Fiamma bar at all. And alas, neither was Ms. Mische the cause of the INVENTED rift."

Richard Gutierrez in Near-Fight Incident with Aljur Abrenica Because of Jewel Mische
Anyway, tinanong na si Actor A sa nangyari, pero “no comment” ang sagot nito. Lalong ayaw magsalita ni Actor B sa payo na rin ng mga taong malapit sa kanya. Pasasaan ba’t may makakaalam din sa isyung ito, may magsusulat at makikilala rin kung sino ang dalawang actors na nagkaroon ng conflict sa isang bar.]
[A customer of Fiamma Bar on Jupiter Street in Makati City told PEP that a confrontation occurred between Kapuso stars Richard Gutierrez and Aljur Abrenica last October 17, at the high-end watering hole.
This was supposed to have happened on the same night that the new GMA Network Studios on Jamboree St., Quezon City, was inaugurated. Many of the stars, still dressed to the nines, had gone out to celebrate after the event.
Richard is known as GMA-7's Primetime King, while Aljur is StarStruck Batch 4 Ultimate Hunk winner. In other words, Richard is a certified big star and Aljur is a promising male lead.
The non-showbiz customer, who refuses to be named, reported that he saw Richard Gutierrez having a nice time with friends.
Sometime later, the customer saw Aljur Abrenica enter the bar escorting young actress Jewel Mische, the StarStruck Batch 4 Ultimate Sweetheart and also a GMA-7 talent.
The next thing he saw, according to the stunned customer, was Richard having an altercation with Aljur. He said he distinctly saw Richard giving Aljur's head a short, quick slap. In the words of the customer, "Tinapik ni Richard si Aljur sa ulo!"
Aljur reportedly turned around, faced Richard, and demanded to know, "Ano ang problema mo?" Richard reportedly shot back, "Ikaw, ano ang problema mo?"
The PEP source said that, fortunately, nothing more untoward happened. Cooler heads reportedly intervened at just the right time.
Another source, who was also at Fiamma bar, claimed that Jewel was not with Aljur. The source, however, corroborated the story about the tiff between Richard and Aljur.
PEP asked all three parties, on separate occasions, to comment on the incident. Clearly, everyone wanted the incident buried and forgotten.
When Aljur was asked, he refused to answer. Jewel refused to take calls on her cellphone (its number is known to her reporter-friends). Richard, at his mother Annabelle Rama's birthday party last Saturday evening, said, "No comment," then walked away.
Meantime, a handler at the GMA Artist Center, which manages Aljur and Jewel, gave the side of Aljur but refused to be quoted. Two showbiz reporters who heard about the incident also backed off the story. As a result, PEP became more curious: where did the Richard-Aljur tiff come from?
Our research showed that Jewel Mische is at the center of this tiff. Since the days of Kamandag—a fantaserye which had Richard and Jewel as a love team—rumors had already circulated that the two became more than an onscreen team. According to reports, they had become a quiet, but real, item.
Both Richard and Jewel have totally denied the story. Even at the recent inauguration of GMA Network Studios, Jewel flatly said, "For the record, hindi naging kami ni Chard." Richard, for his part, has remained non-committal and vague, but admitted going out with Jewel. The young actor also said that Jewel was the "closest" girl to him while they were still doing Kamandag.
But making the story plausible were reports that kept linking Richard only to Jewel, when the handsome 24-year-old star also had the beautiful Maxene Magalona as a romantic interest in the same fantaserye. And way after Kamandag was taken off the air, talk persisted that Richard and Jewel were seeing each other romantically.
Richard has never been an easy man to pin down on his romantic intentions. There were two other stars who started being linked to him: Heart Evangelista and KC Concepcion. These two are such big names—Heart starred with him in the big-budget GMA-7 action-adventures series Codename: Asero, and KC was his leading lady in the blockbuster Star Cinema movie For the First Time—that the press eventually paid no more attention to the Richard-Jewel romance rumors.
Showbiz insiders now say that, in fact, the Richard-Jewel romance has been an on-and-off story in Richard's life. They add that, indeed, the two were first attracted to each other when they were doing Kamandag, which brought them together at least three times a week, and that since then, Jewel would be seen in places where Richard was, such as his condo, his tapings, his movie sets.
Unfortunately, the insiders say, nobody seems to want Jewel for Richard. Their network is said to be pushing other leading ladies for their prize talent; his family has not been heard to say they want her for Richard, whereas his mother and manager Annabelle Rama has been quoted as saying she liked KC; and even members of Richard's camp say that the tandem won't go far with the fans.
The rumors persist anyway that Jewel is more infatuated with Richard than he is with her. But showbiz veterans argue that if Richard really wanted Jewel out of his life, then he could have done so a long time ago. After all, he has his family, his manager, bodyguard, driver, and camp followers to create the environment he is comfortable with. Therefore, these showbiz veterans speculate, Richard must also be attracted to Jewel to make this "on-and-off relationship" last up to this time.
As for the Fiamma bar incident between Richard and Aljur, there is strong buzz that it was triggered when Jewel asked Aljur to escort her that night, and had done so with the idea of making Richard jealous. The buzz also says that Aljur, in this scenario, was completely clueless.]

Pagsubok - Pinoy Fear Factor Official Theme Song
See video and lyrics below:
Ang buhay ay parang laro
May natatalo at may nananalo
Maging anuman ang kaparalan
Hindi bibitiw sa laban ko
Itutuloy ko lang dahil...
Di ako susuko sa gitna ng pagsubok
Buong tapang na haharap sa hamon ng buhay
'Di umuurong sa hamon, 'di sumusuko
'Di aatras, 'di kakalas ipapakita ang lakas
Ang tapang ko'y ilalabas kakayanin ang lahat
Nasa aking mga kamay ang pag-abot sa tagumpay
Sa ating tagumpay...
Kahit 'san man mapunta galing ipapakita
Ang bayaning nasa akin ipagsisigawan ko.

Naughty Side of the Stars
GABBY CONCEPCION: “When I was 10, my brother and I hid under the bed. Since it was dark, we lighted a candle. The bed was so low so it caught fire. We almost burned our ancestral home!”
SAM MILBY: “During summer break in high school, my best friend and I would always sneak out of the house. Curfew was 12 midnight for those under 18. I was 16 then. We would climb the top of the school building, jump trains, ride my dirt bike and go-carts till 3 a.m. We got caught!”
OGIE ALCASID: “As a kid, I used to climb our water tank tower and look inside our neighbor’s house. As an adult, I went to a beach in Barcelona, Spain, and had a great view of topless women.”
MARIEL RODRIGUEZ: “I put Dulcolax on the drink of a guy classmate in high school. I could have died laughing as I saw it take effect on him.”
DIETHER OCAMPO: “In grade school, I switched the male/female signs of the comfort room. All I remember was an enduring scream that made me run as fast as I can escaping the scene.”
RICKY DAVAO: “I went home from a shoot—bloody, bruised and with prosthetic makeup on. I stayed in my car until my kids came to greet me. They laughed nervously while the maids watched in horror.”
LOTLOT DE LEON: “When I was 6, I filled up a gigantic pail with shampoo till bumula. Then I added powder. I told my mom I was cooking. Nagmukhang flour ’yung powder and the shampoo, parang kumukulo! Naloka ang mommy ko!”
CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA: “I placed so much Tabasco sauce in a sandwich which I gave to my brother. I told him it was catsup.”
MIRIAM QUIAMBAO: “When I was 16 and just received my student driver’s permit, I was excited to drive my dad’s car. So when he was in the shower, I took the car for a spin without his knowledge. I came back with a fender bender!”
YASMIEN KURDI: “I threw huge stones on the Ferrari and Jaguar of my classmates because they were rude to my mom. Nakipagsuntukan ako sa Egyptian schoolmates ko in Kuwait because they were discriminating Pinoys.”
NYOY VOLANTE: “Mahilig ako manggulat ng tao. One time I didn’t know the one I tried to scare had a heart ailment. Good thing nothing serious happened to him. Ang ending, ako ang natakot!”
TINTIN BERSOLA: “When I had tantrums as a kid, I would lock myself up in the bathroom and turn the shower on till it flooded. My mom got shocked because hanggang sa sala namin baha!”
JEREMY FAVIA (“Katoque” chef): “When I was 4, I pushed my kuya off the double-deck bed. He hit the floor head first. He was rushed to the hospital and had 11 stitches on his head.”
BARON GEISLER: “In Grade 5, I threw a magic bomb inside the ladies room to catch the attention of my crush who was inside. I didn’t know my teacher was also there. She had me suspended.”
CRISTINE REYES: “When I was 6, my brother asked me to light his cigarette on the gas stove. Grabe! Nasunog buong kitchen namin. Walang natirang gamit!”

He met with Kaye there and something happened between them while he was staying there. So now, he’ll soon be a father. He’ll be flying there in November to make sure he’s with Kaye when she delivers their baby. But no, they haven’t talked about getting married.
"Mahirap ang arrangement kasi nandito ang trabaho ko at hindi rin naman ganun kadali for me to be petitioned para mabigyan ako ng permit to live there," he says. "Basta I promised Kaye that I will support our baby sa abot ng aking makakaya."

Eugene Domingo In Rift With Mother Lily Monterverde of Regal Films
Sa paunang balita, hindi raw nagkasundo sina Mother Lily Monteverde at Ricky Gallardo, manager ni Eugene, dahil mahirap daw ka-deal si Ricky kaya inalis ang comedienne sa cast. Pero iba naman ang pahayag ni Ricky, itinuwid nitong hindi inalis si Eugene sa cast; sila raw ang nag-backout.
Sabi ni Ricky, "Iba ang tinanggal sa hindi tinanggap. Hindi namin tinanggap ang movie dahil hindi sila [Regal] tumupad sa pinagkasunduan. Ang linaw-linaw ng usapan, maayos na ang lahat, ‘tapos binago pa. Ayaw naming ma-stress kaya hindi na lang namin tinanggap.
"Ang pinag-usapan, pinapahalagahan, tinutupad. Walang magiging problema kung tinupad lang nila ang pinagkasunduan. Ganun lang kasimple."
Sa side naman ng Regal, sa terms of payment hindi nagkasundo sina Mother Lily at Ricky. Pumayag na raw ang lady producer sa budget na hiningi nina Ricky at Eugene, pero wala pa ring nangyari sa usapan ng dalawang kampo. Ang ending, pinalitan na lang ang komedyana sa role ng isang encanto slayer sa Shake, Rattle & Roll X (SRRX).
Si Marian Rivera na ang ipinalit kay Eugene sa "Nieves" at si Mother Lily pa mismo ang nagbalita nito sa entertainment press.
Bukod sa SRRX ay tinanggal na rin si Eugene sa cast ng isa pang MMFF entry na Desperadas 2. Tiyak na ikadi-disappoint ni Direk Joel Lamangan ang pagkakaalis ni Eugene sa pelikula niya. Personal choice niya sana si Eugene sa role ng long-lost sister nina Ruffa Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto, Iza Calzado, at Marian.
Role ng isang prinsesa sa isang bansang malapit sa Africa ang gagampanan sana ni Eugene. Ikinukuwento pa ni Direk Joel na excited at natatawa na siya sa magiging partisipasyon sana sa pelikula ni Eugene.
Akala namin ay magagawan pa ng paraan na maibalik sa Desperadas 2 si Eugene, pero hindi na pumayag ang mga producer. Excited din sana si Eugene nang malaman ang kanyang role at may love interest pa siya sa pelikula. Isa pang ikinatuwa nito'y puro magaganda ang kanyang mga kasamang artista at "feeling beautiful" na rin daw siya.
Pero dahil sa nangyari, hindi na raw kukunin ng Regal si Eugene sa anumang pelikulang kanilang gagawin. In other words, banned siya sa film company at hindi na rin siya tuloy sa pelikulang Ang Nanay Kong Aswang. At kung co-producer ng GMA Films ang Regal sa second movie nina Richard Gutierrez at KC Concepcion ay hindi na rin siya makakasama. Willing pa naman daw sana siyang mapasama sa pelikula.
Four movies ang nawala kay Eugene.
Ano naman ang naging reaction ni Eugene sa nawalang dalawang pelikula sa kanya.
"Okey sa kanya, naintindihan niya. Dapat daw ‘pag may kasunduan, pahalagahan, at tuparin," sagot ng talent manager.
Ang press ang nanghinayang sa dalawang pelikulang nawala kay Eugene dahil hindi pa naman siya tumanggap ng TV show at balak mag-concentrate sa pelikula. Sa pagkakaalam namin ay kasama rin siya dapat sa Luna Mystica, pero nag-beg off nga siya dahil sa gagawin niyang pelikula.
For this year, sa Ang Tanging Ina Ninyong Lahat ng Star Cinema, na entry rin sa MMFF, mapapanood si Eugene. Next year ay nakatakda naman niyang gawin ang launching movie niya sa Viva Films na Demetria M.D.
