For the first time in her career, Bianca King will be top billing a primetime teleserye. The 27-year old actress will reportedly have her skin blackened for her role in Luna Blanca, where she plays the titular role of Luna opposite Heart Evangelista. “It’s a small price to pay for a role that’s so big,” says Bianca, who also reveals that her dream role would include doing a female heroin ala-Alias or Charlie’s Angels. Keep the dream alive, girl! Congrats!
1. Katrina Halili stands up against online bullying!
Bullies beware; some celebrities are willing to go the distance just to prove a point. Take for example Katrina Halili, who contacted the National Bureau of Investigation as a means to get in touch with her Twitter basher. “May mga tweet siya sa akin na pupuntahan daw niya ako sa taping. Nagti-threat siya kaya lumapit ako sa NBI,” she quips. Authorities have since found said suspect, and Katrina plans to file charges against her as soon as possible. Feisty!
