SUPER SCOOP: QTV 11 PLANS TO REFORMAT AS A NEWS CHANNEL?

For the third time, QTV 11 is changing its programming format from being a lifestyle network primarily targeting women to a news and public affairs channel, a highly reliable source told MR BLIND ITEM.

The alternative network, owned by GMA 7 on a 100% leased airtime from ZOE Broadcasting Network, started airing on November 11, 2005 as a women's lifestyle station. It was expected to compete with the then No. 3 station, Studio 23 owned by ABS-CBN.

However, recent turns of events pushed QTV 11's standing to No. 5 with TV5 challenging the standing of ABS-CBN and GMA 7 in the No 1 and No 2 spots.

According to sources, QTV 11 will bank on the highly respected news and public affairs team of GMA 7 to attract viewership. It will be a 24-hour news channel similar to ANC, but only on free TV.

Good luck to QTV 11 on it's new move!

IS SPENCER REYES OF STREETBOYS NOW A HOSTO IN A JAPANESE BAR?

Spencer was once more popular than his fellow Streetboys
member Vhong Navarro

Spencer Reyes, the first to become an actor in the 90s all-male dance group Streetboys, has been missing in action in Philippine showbiz in the past few years.

The former teen heartthrob who was once paired up with Judy Ann Santos in Esperanza (ABS-CBN) and the winner of the 1999 PMPC Star Awards for TV's Best Actor for his performance in a "Maalaala Mo Kaya" episode titled "Gulong," was last seen in TV5's dance show "Shall We Dance" in August, 2007.

According to source, Spencer who is now 32 years old, is making ends meet at a famed "hosto" or entertainer in a bar in Japan. Much of Spencer's personal life today is not known, especially his marital status.

In the late 90s to early 2000, Spencer overshadows his fellow Streetboys members Vhong Navarro (who is now one of the most bankable comedians in the Philippines), Danilo Barrios, and Jhong Hilario who remains highly visible because of the noontime show "Showtime." For whatever reason, Spencer left showbiz in 2001 and made a comeback in showbiz with the movie "Spirit Warriors." 

With Spencer's dancing and acting skills-- and I am sure he is now even seasoned by experience-- and charisma to the masses, a big comeback is inevitable.

BLIND ITEM #43: MALE SINGER IS POSITIVE OF GONORRHEA

Embarrassment engulfed Male Singer (MS) last week when his doctor advised him go on a prolonged sex holiday after he was confirmed to be suffering from a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) called gonorrhea or "tulo."

The soft-looking soloist reportedly rushed himself to a private doctor to complain about his painful leak. It turned out that MS has acquired gonorrhea from his numerous sexual encounters lately with other men.

Yes, MS is gay as well all suspected.  

MISS PHILIPPINES KRISTA KLEINER IS THE FAVORITE AMONG INFERIOR BATCH OF MISS INTERNATIONAL DELEGATES

Good News. Our very own Binibing Pilipinas International Krista Kleiner is the top contender of this year's Miss International pageant in China. She can be our fifth Miss International following the footsteps of Gemma Cruz Araneta, Aurora Pijuan, Melanie Marquez, and Precious Lara Quigaman.

Pageant authority Globalbeauties.com ranked Krista No. 1 in it's leaders board followed by Miss Check Republic, Miss Greece, Miss Venezuela, and Miss Ecuador respectively. Please check leader board  screen grab below.

Bad News. This year's batch of Miss International contestants is the most inferior I've ever seen in my life time. It reminds me of the bad years of Miss Asia Pacific Quest in the late 90s when the public interest on the pageant was dying down. There are a few competent ladies who would shine even in cut-throat pageants like Miss World and Miss Universe, and Krista is definitely one of them.

BLIND ITEM #42: IN-DEMAND CHARACTER ACTOR IS SABA KING!

In-demand Character Actor (ICA) should be casted in ABC-CBN's afternoon soap opera "Juanita Banana" and be given the role of human saba, a local banana variant known for being not-so-long but insanely thick appearance.

Why so? According to a very reliable source of Mr Blind Item, the reputable actor who is known for his mostly bad boy roles in soap operas and mainstream and independent movies, possesses a manly pride that women-- and allegedly gays too-- would choke for. And the most appropriate comparison to ICA's pecker is the innocent "saba."

Gosh, now I know why beautiful women go gaga with ICA even if he's not exactly that goodlooking. Napapa-turon naman pala sila sa sarap!

BLIND ITEM #41: LEGENDARY MOVIE DIRECTOR FLASHES HIS PECKER IN THEATER RESTROOMS

Legendary movie director  is in the movie houses for a different reason

Legendary Movie Director (LMD) loves hanging out in the movie houses, particularly in Robinson's Galleria where independent gay movies are screened. But he is not there to watch the works of up and coming filmmakers and actors. He has another agenda in mind, to cruise that is.

Yes, LMD stays longer in the restroom than in front of the big screen. An informant of Mr Blind Item caught the good director flashing his private parts and trying to take a peek at moviegoers who are using the urinals. And it wasn't a sight that one can easily stomach. LMD is just too old and isn't exactly goodlooking (even in his younger years when he was still directing those semi-perverted and sex-oriented "art" films).

Or maybe he is just making a research for his up and coming movie about a septuagenarian film director who cruises in rotten theaters while his old movies are showing. What do you think of "Sinehan ni Lolo" for a title? Hmmm. Sounds like a good storyline.

BLIND ITEM #40: TV HOST IS A BATHHOUSE REGULAR IN PARIS

Did he find love in a gay bath house?

They say that the self will find its way out, not matter how much it is suppressed.

For wholesome, goodie-two-shoes TV Host (TVH), the honor and integrity of his family is loftier than himself. That is why in spite of his realization on his true sexuality, he never dared come out in the open-- at least here in the Philippines. He chooses where he messes up and the venue is far away from the eyes of his gossiping countrymen.

One evening in Paris, TVH decided to cruise in his favorite an exclusive bathhouse called Sun City at 62 Avenue on Sevastopol near Pompidou District. He went on his usual bathhouse activities, and being the only Asian on sight, he garnered so much attention from the dominantly European regulars.

Or so he thought. Another Asian, a Filipino to be precise, was just lurking inside one of the dark rooms of the bathhouse. When the eyewitness finished his first round and continued cruising in the maze-like establishments, he had the shock of his life. His saw the respected TV host surrounded but by a group of naked men. He was the center of all the actions, outperforming many porn stars that night.
