Kiray Celis Claims "Love is stressful!"
Kiray Celis Claims "Love is stressful!"
Many fans ask about teen star, Kiray Celis’ love life but she shares that her main priority right now is her studies and career, not having a boyfriend. But she cleared out that she is not a bitter boy-hater unlike Whitney, her character in the hit teen series “LUV U”.
“I just don’t want to be stressed”, said the 17-year old “LUV U” star. When asked about her relationship with her on-screen partner Igi Boy Flores, the teen comedienne said, “Actually, we always joke around about how cute we are together but the truth is, we are just like siblings.”
“LUV U” fans, on the other hand believe otherwise as Rocky (Igi Boy) and Whitney are gradually becoming closer even if they are fighting everyday and even if Whitney often spits out her “I hate boys!” line.
Meanwhile, a half-Filipino guy will visit Lamberto Uy Villarama University and he will instantly fall in love with Whitney. With this, she will feel very beautiful and superior over the rest of the girls in her school.
Will Rocky feel jealous of the new guy in Whitney’s life? Will this guy change Whitney’s beliefs about boys? Join the “LUV U” gang with guest Ivan Dorschner this Sunday, July 22, after ASAP 2012, on ABS-CBN.

Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona Record Duet Track for 'Just One Summer'
Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona Record Duet Track for 'Just One Summer'
Together Forever lead stars Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona recorded earlier today their duet version of "Girl Be Mine," a Francis Magalona composition which will be used as one of the soundtracks of their movie "Just One Summer," out in theaters nationwide beginning August 15.
During the recording session, Elmo and Julie Anne collaborated on how they could give a new "flavor" to the song. Julie Anne helped Elmo out on some tricky second voices, while Elmo guided Julie Anne on some of the melodies since he's more familiar with his dad's song.
After months of waiting, the hugely followed love team of Julie Anne and Elmo - endearingly called by their fans as JuliElmo - will finally hit the big screen next month. The two are excited to see the final outcome of their film which took almost six months to complete. They still have several scenes to shoot in the following days, though, including a very "costly" helicopter scene which will be shot in Subic.
"Just One Summer" is directed by Amaya director Mac Alejandre and is produced and distributed by GMA Films.
