NAGING emotional ang Kapuso singer na si Vilmark Viray noong malaman niya na gagamitin ang kanta niyang “Lisan” para sa GMA na Love. Die. Repeat. at kakantahin pa mismo ito ni Jennylyn Mercado.

Ang “Lisan” ang second self-composed single ni Vilmark under GMA Music, na inilabas noong April 2023. Espesyal para sa singer-songwriter ang kanta dahil isinulat niya ito noong pumanaw ang kanyang ama noong December 2022.

“Naiyak po ako that time kasi the song was really special to me kasi nga I dedicate that song for my father. And to be able to see that song na magagamit s’ya in a kind of big teleserye, it’s really fulfilling.

“Hearing the version of Ms. Jennylyn, talagang ‘yung luha ko bumagsak. And then sobrang kinilig ako kasi nag-reply siya na ‘Thank you Vilmark sa pagpapahiram ng napakaganda mong kanta.'”

SASAMPAHAN ng demanda ang ‘Modern Family’ star na si Sofia Vergara ng pamilya ng drug lord na si Griselda Blanco dahil sa upcoming Netflix mini-series na Griselda.

Gagampanan ni Vergara ang buhay ng Colombian drug dealer na nakilala noong 1970s hanggang early 2000s.

Mga anak ni Blanco ang maghahain ng lawsuit sa 51-year old Colombian actress pati na sa Netflix, claiming “unauthorized use of their family’s image and likeness in the upcoming series”.

Mag-premiere sa Netflix on Jan. 25 ang Griselda, pero mukhang ma-delay ito dahil sa isasampang injunction.

Ayon sa TMZ: “Blanco is a public figure, the lawsuit doesn’t specify that Netflix can’t depict her, however the children are claiming that the use of their own images and likeness without their permission is violating their rights.”
