Angel Locsin is Jake Cuenca's Mistress

Angel Locsin will play a challenging role as an accidental mistress in Maalaala Mo Kaya's Valentine episode.

Angel will be paired for the first time, at least on the Kapamilya network, with young actor Jake Cuenca. They first work together in GMA-7's fantaserye "Majika" before they both transferred to ABS-CBN


The MMK episode with Jake is Angel's third appearance in the longest-running drama anthology. Her previous MMK role for the "Pilat" episode had won her the Best Single Performance by an Actress award in the PMPC Star Awards for Television – her very first acting award.

Angel explained her role via ABS-CBN, "It’s different talaga. Medyo strong kasi yung character niya and eto yung character na kadalasan hindi naiintindihan. Kumbaga bago tayo manghusga ng tao, tignan muna natin kung ano ba talaga yung sitwasyon. Kasi ang role ko dito isa akong mistress, tapos naniniwala kasi ako sa pamilya, sa kasal, kaya isa-sacrifice ko yung sarili kong kaligayahan para ‘di ako makasira ng pamilya."

"Avatar" Beats Out "Titanic" in The Worldwide Box Office

With awards rolling in, James Cameron’s Avatar has officially topped the director’s other box office smash Titanic. Current numbers have the sci-fi thriller raking in over a billion dollars internationally.

According to E! Online, Avatar took home $1.29 billion worldwide, surpassing Titanic’s record $1.24 billion. If things keep up, it has the potential to beat out Titantic’s worldwide record of $1.848 million.

And to keep the ball rolling, the flick starring Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver could even beat Titantic’s domestic gross of $600.8 million sooner than expected — with an already whopping $552.8 million under its belt, E! Online reports.

If James Cameron’s record was going to be taken over, at least the competition is friendly.

StarStruck V Update:Council Members Suspend the Elimination + Final 8 Billboard Pictorial

Rocco Nacino and Sarah Lahbati get another chance to continue their StarStruck journey after dodging the risk of possible elimination in StarStruck V.

The Factor 2 twist came into play in last Sunday's elimination night after the council members composed of TV director Floy Quintos, versatile actress Iza Calzado and talent manager Lolit Solis used their one time power to stop the elimination.

Nina Kodaka joined Rocco and Sarah in the bottom 3. Diva Montelaba, Rox Montealegre, Ian Batherson, Steven Silva and Enzo Pineda were all safe.

The Top 8 survivors brace themselves to lose two contenders in the next elimination night if Factor 1 takes effect. Factor 1 states that if a survivor lands in the bottom group thrice, it would mean an automatic nomination for them. And right now, both Ian Batherson and Nina Kodaka have been part of the bottom group twice.

With only five weeks to go before the final judgment night, the eight remaining contenders are keeping their fingers crossed as only four will be given the chance to become the next ultimate survivors of the fifth season.

Who will shine in this week's artista tests and challenges? Can the Top 8 contenders survive Factor 1? When will Factor 4 and Factor 5 take effect?

Viewers can vote through the website www.starstruck.tv.

Meanwhile, catch the billboard pictorial of Starstruck V Final 8 as taken by ace photographer Jun de Leon:
