Maja Salvador and the Men of Summer on METRO, March 2011 issue (HOT photos)

Maja Salvador appears on the cover of METRO Magazine's March 2011 issue, flaunting her sassy Oriental chich outfit by Louis Vitton.

METRO's March 2011 issue is dedicating 8 pages for the dazzling Maja Salvador and I'm telling you she has lots of sex appeal on her shots.

And guess who's with Maja in 2 pages there? It's not Coco Martin who plays her leading man in "Minsang Lang Kita Iibigin" which had a successful pilot last night, but it's the sporty hunk Matteo Guidicelli. And they look so good together there.

Aside from Maja and Matteo, also featured on the latest issue of METRO are the Men of Summer for 2011.

Making the annual list are all hunky imports such as Brazilian-Japanese models Daniel Matsunaga, Fabio Ide and Hideo Muraoka (Why is Akihiro Sato not included?), Japanese-American Jayc Barnes and German-Vietnamese Benjamin Tang.

Take a look at their pics: (Great sight for Fabio)

Sam Milby denies dating Kim Chiu

Sam Milby and Kim Chiu were spotted together at Taylor Swift's concert last Saturday in Araneta Coliseum.

And many people have noticed Sam and Kim's "extra" sweetness and closeness at the said event.

On this photo taken at the concert, you can see Kim and Sam really close to each other, just like other lovers watching at the concert.

Fans are now asking, "Is Sam dating Kim?"

On SNN last night, Sam has denied that he's dating Kim or he dated her at Taylor Swift's concert.

According to Sam, they just met there and they're with their friends at the concert.

Sam is referring to Maja Salvador and Cacai Bautista who were with them that evening.

Kim and Sam started to get close as friends when they teamed up for an episode of "Your Song Presents: Kim" shown just recently.

So maybe, they're still in the stage of "getting to know each other".

Kim's admirer Simon Atkins still has a chance if he wants to pursue Kim.

'Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin' full trailer is out!

The excitement is so high for 'Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin', an upcoming teleserye on ABS-CBN.

Initially planned to premiere last February 14, 'Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin' is finally airing this March 7 on the network's Primetime Bida block.

The full official trailer of the new soap has been revealed earlier and it looks so exciting.

I was so surprised to see Kapamilya leading ladies Kim Chiu and Erich Gonzales having special roles in 'Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin'.

Kim plays for the first time a contravida role, as young Lorna Tolentino, while Erich is the young Amy Austria.

Aside from Kim and Erich, also doing a special participation are Albert Martinez, Agot Isidro and Xian Lim (as young John Estrada).

The trailer has also revealed that Coco Martin is portraying dual roles or should I say, award-winning roles, as Alexander and Javier.

Having two "Coco Martin" in 'Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin' is just one of the many things for the Kapamilya viewers to get excited with.

Playing leading ladies to Coco are Maja Salvador and Andi Eigenmann.

Watch the full trailer of "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin":

ABS-CBN releases full official trailer of "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin"

The full official trailer of the upcoming action-drama series "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" made its debut earlier tonight, as shown on ABS-CBN right after Mara Clara.

"Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" boasts of a powerhouse cast which include Coco Martin, Maja Salvador, Andi Eigenmann, Martin Del Rosario, Ronaldo Valdez, Dante Rivero, Boots Anson-Roa, Ronnie Lazaro, John Estrada, Tonton Gutierrez, Amy Austria and Lorna Tolentino.

It marks Coco's first primetime teleserye where he finally plays the main male lead and not just the second lead.

And I hope Coco is not gonna die in the said new show (unlike in Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo, Agimat: Tonyong Bayawak and iDOL).

Watch its trailer:

"Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" will premiere this February on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida.

A stunning Angel Locsin went on the ramp at Folded and Hung's
Streetcast Fashion Show held last Friday night, October 29, at the SMX Convention Center in SM Mall of Asia.

Angel made a "busty" appearance and she definitely set the stage on fire. So hot!

The star-filled event was part of the Philippine Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 show. Aside from Angel, also gracing the runway as
F&H main models were Anne Curtis and Maja Salvador.

Unzipped: Rocco Nacino | Inspired: Matteo Guidicelli

On last night's Cosmo Bachelor Bash, Rocco Nacino went sensual: He got wet, kneeled down and then unzip his pants.

Matteo Guidicelli looked so hot and very inspired to strut his stuff on stage. Why why why? Is it because Maja Salvador was there cheering for him?

"Cinco" Movie Posters | 5 Episodes in 1

"Cinco" is the first ever Philippine movie with five different 20-minute stories or episodes in it.

It's produced by Star Cinema and it stars some of today's hottest Kapamilya.

Episode 1 is entitled "Braso" and features Gigger Boys members Robi Domingo, AJ Perez and Sam Concepcion (as fraternity recruits) with a strong support from Baron Geisler and Kristel Moreno. It's directed by Frasco Mortiz. It seems like the three are shirtless most of the time in the film as seen in the trailer and on the poster.

Jodi Sta. Maria-Lacson topbills Episode 2: Paa, directed by Enrico Santos. Also in cast are Barbie Sabino (young Bea Alonzo in "Magkaribal") and Joy Viado.

Box-office director Cathy Garcia-Molina directs the episode entitled "Puso" which is about "gayuma". Pokwang and Zanjoe Marudo lead the cast. And since Pokwang is part of it, expect some lil funny scenes in it. Also stars Bangs Garcia and Maloue De Guzman.

Rayver Cruz and Maja Salvador pair up anew in the 4th Episode called "Mata" directed by Ato Bautista. Can we call them the "Horror Prince and Princess"? The two starred together in horror/fantasy/thriller programs like "Spirits" and "Nginiiig". Last year, they both starred in the MMFF entry "Shake, Rattle & Roll XI" but in separate episodes.

Mariel Rodriguez is goin' solo (no leading man) in "Mukha", Cinco's 4th episode helmed by Nick Olanka. Supporting cast includes Jayson Gainza, Ketchup Eusebio, Arnold Reyes and Nanding Josef.

"Cinco" will be shown nationwide on July 14, 2010 with a grand premiere night on the 13th at SM Megamall Cinema 10.

Watch the full official trailer:
