Megan Young

Megan Young believes she made the right choice when she moved from Kapuso to Kapamilya

2008-09-24T16:51:00.000-07:00

Masaya sa nangyayari ngayon sa buhay niya ang 5'8", 18-year-old young actress na si Megan Young. Bukod daw kasi sa may regular show siya-ang I Love Betty La-Fea, where she plays one of the office girls named Marcella-she gets to attend her regular schooling at Trinity College as a freshman student.

BINIBINI AND BETTY. Kinumusta ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Megan yung dati niyang pangarap na maka-join ng mga beauty contest like Binibining Pilipinas, patuloy pa rin ba siyang nag-a-aspire na makasali rito?

"Well, hindi ko pa alam kasi may Betty pa, may school pa ‘ko...saka sabi ng friend ko, mas maganda raw na mag-join ng Binibini kung graduate ka na ng college. But then, we'll see..." wala pang katiyakang sagot ni Megan.

"Hindi ko pa rin alam kasi, hindi ko alam kung bagay ba talaga ‘ko ro'n," tila nahihiya pang pagpapatuloy ng dalaga.

Aminado naman si Megan na medyo hirap daw siya portraying her character as Marcella sa Betty.

"First of all, mas matanda siya. Sobrang tanda, e. Yung mga classmates ko nga, sinasabi nila na kapag nakikita nila ‘ko sa TV, iba raw at sa school. At saka, obsessive siya. Doon ako nahihirapan kapag nagpapakita siya ng affection na niya. Sobrang O.A. sa pagka-affectionate. Hindi kasi ako ganoon. Pero iniisip ko na lang, hindi naman talaga ako yun, si, Marcella naman talaga. So, iniisip ko na lang din, get into the character."

Pag-amin pa niya, "Noong una talaga, parang naiilang ako. Si John Lloyd [Cruz] pa ang kaeksena ko."

MEGAN'S TYPE OF MAN. Two years ago pa raw mula nang magkaroon siya ng boyfriend, pero hanggang ngayon ay still single pa rin siya. Nagbiro pa ito na baka raw puwedeng maglagay ng ads sa article searching for a boyfriend.

Type raw niya yung moreno at mabait.

"Gusto ko kasi, puro non-showbiz. Pero siyempre, kailangang matangkad siya kasi, kung hindi siya matangkad, ang pangit tingnan, ‘di ba? Dapat kahit naka-heels ako, mas matangkad pa rin siya sa akin."

Dugtong pa niya, "Ayun, naalala ko, si Jon Avila pala! Kahit hindi siya moreno, pero, bagay sa kanya yung pagka-puti niya."

AS A KAPAMILYA. As everyone knows, galing Kapuso network si Megan at kasama sa second batch ng StarStruck. At that time, marami ang may bet na siya ang mananalong ultimate survivor. But Megan didn't win. It was Ryza Cenon who was declared the ultimate female survivor of StarStruck batch 2.

Kumusta naman ang pagiging Kapamilya niya?

"Mas happy ako," nakangiti niyang pag-amin. "Dito kasi, mas nae-enhance yung skills ko. Mas pinipiga, para I won't settle lang sa ganito lang, sa ganyan lang. Minsan nga, parang naiiyak ako sa work ko. Siyempre, minsan, napapagalitan din ako when they say, it's not good enough.

"Siyempre, hindi ko rin maiwasang hindi maiyak. Nasasaktan din ako. Pero, after noon, iniisip ko rin, sinasabi rin sa akin nina mama na, ‘Okey lang ‘yan, galingan mo lang. Ipakita mo sa kanila na kaya mo kasi, sayang naman itong ibinigay nila kung hindi mo naman gagawin at idadaan mo lang sa iyak.'

"So, after no'n, bongga na! Ipinush ko na talaga ang sarili ko kasi, I have to, talaga or else, papagalitan na naman ako. At least ngayon, hindi na ‘ko pinapagalitan," natatawa pa niyang sabi.

THE RIGHT NETWORK. Naniniwala si Megan na tama lang ang naging decision niyang talaga na lumipat ng network.

Sey nga niya, "Feeling ko, mas okey talaga na lumipat ako. Feeling ko, if ever I stayed [in GMA-7], baka nag-quit na lang ako. Feeling ko kasi, wala na ‘kong mapupuntahan doon. Imbes na puro ako hintay, mag-aaral na lang ako.

"Eh ngayon, since I'm working, you know, work and then school. Kung wala, there's school. Sayang naman kasi kung wala akong gagawin, I'm just gonna waste my time."

Diretsuhan na naming tinanong si Megan kung pakiramdam niyang talaga, hindi talaga siya nabigyan ng opportunity sa Kapuso network where she started?

"Siguro it wasn't the right time lang. Not the right place and not the right time. Siguro, this is my right time and my right place right now [in ABS-CBN] at saka, mas ready na ‘ko ngayon. Parang noon, parang wala lang din... Parang before, laro lang dahil mas bata pa ‘ko. Ngayon kasi, mas serious na ‘ko."

A "MATURE" MEGAN. Kung si Megan daw ang masusunod, gusto raw niyang mas malinya sa mga kontrabida roles talaga.

"Sa ngayon kasi, hindi pa ako sure kung ano talaga ang plano nila. Pero si Mr. M [Johnny Manahan, Star Magic boss], mas gusto po nilang mas mature ang packaging sa akin. Pero hindi naman aabot sa talagang, ‘Whew! Mature!" na ang ibig sabihin ni Megan ay ang mag-all the way or do sexy roles.

"Mas mature po siguro na mas classy, mas sophisticated. More older para hindi na teeny-bopper. At saka, sa ngayon kasi, mas gusto ko yung mga character roles, mas feel ko siya, mas exciting at saka, mas nae-enjoy ko."

Megan Young takes on a more mature role

2008-08-13T16:54:00.000-07:00

Playing the role of Marcella, Armando’s scheming fiancée in I Love Betty La Fea, is definitely a 180-degree turnaround for Megan Young. The young actress is mostly known for her kikay roles in the now-defunct youth-oriented program Star Magic Presents Astigs and for her stint as a housemate in Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition Season 2.

“Hindi lang medyo mature, very mature ang role ko dito kasi Marcella is about 25 or 26-years old so that's eight years beyond my real age. So it’s really a big transformation for me,” says the 18-year-old actress. She reveals that she even had to watch “tasteful adult films” to help her understand the ways of a woman of the world like Marcella. “I admit it’s really hard especially from all my [previous] parts na pa-tweetums kasi dun na ako nasanay. Pero siyempre I have to move forward,” Megan admits.

This huge leap in her showbiz career is quite unexpected because she never thought she would get such a challenging role in the first place. “Actually nagulat nga ako kasi nung audition, naisip ko na, ‘Naku, nagkamali ata ako ng gawa. Baka hindi na ako makuha.’ After some time, tinawagan nila ako for the look test. Then naging sure lang talaga ako kung ano’ng gagawin ko nung nag-start na akong mag-workshop,” she excitedly gushes.

Describing Marcella to ABS-CBN.com, Megan says, “She is a really snotty person, rebellious, sobrang masungit, and in love na in love siya kay Armando.” Considering her previous teenybopper roles, fans can expect to see a very different Megan Young as Marcella when I Love Betty La Fea premieres soon.

"StarStruck" and "Star Circle Quest" graduates shift network allegiance

2008-03-31T16:45:00.000-07:00

The stars who came from GMA-7's StarStruck and ABS-CBN's Star Circle Quest (SCQ) are switching networks.

Masasabing ang mga artistang nagawa sa dalawang reality shows ng magkalabang TV stations ang pinaka-homegrown talents na nagawa ng respective stations. Sa mga reality shows sila nagsimula, so they owe their allegiance to the network that created them.

Years later, situations are changing as StarStruck talents are now Star Magic exclusive and SCQ questors can now be seen on GMA-7, and one is even a GMA Artist Center (GMAAC) exclusive.

Sa GMA-7 na mapapanood ang tatlo sa original SCQ questors—ang grand winner na si Hero Angeles and two of his runners-up na sina Michelle Madrigal and Joseph Bitangcol—at ang kambal naman noon sa SCQ II na sina Bebs and KC Hollmann.

Hero is now being co-managed by GMAAC and German Moreno. He was included in the GMAAC plug na kinunan noong Sabado, March 29, sa Bulacan airport. Kasama niya pa sa segment ang original Final Four ng StarStruck na sina Jennylyn Mercado, Mark Herras, Yasmien Kurdi, and Rainier Castillo.

Hero's first regular show for GMA-7 will be Marian Rivera's Dyesebel, kung saan magkakasama silang muli ni Michelle who will play a mermaid.

Michelle is now under contract with Annabelle Rama kung kaya't freelancer na siya. But since mostly Kapuso stars ang mga artista ng ina nina Richard, Raymond, and Ruffa Gutierrez, it is understandable that Michelle gets her next job sa Kapuso network.

Huling nagkasama sina Hero and Michelle sa SCQ Reload ng ABS-CBN.

Another freelancer now is Joseph Bitangcol, who is being managed solely by Manny Valera. Joseph's first primetime appearance sa GMA-7 was on Babangon Ako't Dudurugin Kita where he played the young Paolo Contis in the pilot week.

The Hollmann twins, meanwhile, are set to compete with another reality show over at QTV-11, sister station of GMA-7, ang piloting The Debutante hosted by Marc Nelson. The Debutante will start airing on April 14. KC and Bebs are now under Artist Center also.

Over at ABS-CBN, dalawang StarStruck 2 Avengers at isang StarStruck Kid ang regular nang napapanood sa Kapamilya station.

The first to transfer was Megan Young, now a Star Magic talent. Nakakatandang kapatid ni Lauren Young who really started with ABS-CBN, Megan's first two regular shows for ABS-CBN were Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv and Kokey. She also became one of the housemates in Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition Season 2. Megan is now a regular of the new youth-oriented show of ABS-CBN na Astigs.

During her StarStruck days, Megan Young and Kirby de Jesus were the last cut before the Final Four na sina Mike Tan, Ryza Cenon, LJ Reyes, and CJ Muere. Now, Kirby joins his original partner sa ABS-CBN as he is now managed by Becky Aguila—whose stars are now mostly Kapamilya headed by Angel Locsin and Valerie Concepcion.

Isang StarStruck Kid naman ang Kapamilya na rin, si Paul Salas who is now part of Kung Fu Kids. His last regular show for GMA-7 was Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang.

Meanwhile, isang StarStruck 1 Avenger ang in limbo pa rin dahil sa contract dispute, si Cristine Reyes na kapatid ng kalilipat lang din sa ABS-CBN na si Ara Mina.

Reportedly now being considered to play the lead role of an upcoming afternoon soap ng ABS-CBN na Eva Fonda, 16, pinag-uusapan pa rin ng mga lawyers ni Cristine at lawyers ng GMA-7 ang kontrata niya sa GMA-7. Ito ang dahilan kung kaya't hanggang guest appearances pa lang ang kayang gawin ni Cristine sa ABS-CBN na sinusuklian naman ng memo ng GMA Artist Center kada appearance.

Megan Young is ready for grown-up roles

2008-03-24T17:00:00.000-07:00

Megan Young is through with teenybopper roles. But while she’s open to kissing scenes, Megan insists she’s not ready for steamy love scenes. This much she can say now that she turned 18 — sans the usual fanfare expected of celebrities like her.

“I never wanted a big debut,” Megan relates. Even if her family can afford it (her American dad works in Virginia), the 5’8”-tall Megan prefers a quiet dinner with family and close friends way back in high school over a lavish coming-out party.

A big party calls for a lot of preparation, and she’d rather focus on something else, like her career. Even in her choice of clothes, Megan would rather dress down than dress up. She’s happiest in her favorite jeans and T-shirt.

If Megan speaks her mind more these days, it’s because at 18, she has become her own woman.

“I’ve grown more mature, more independent, more self-assured,” the Star Magic talent smiles.

This means that while she can appear sweet and innocent on Abt ur Luv, Megan is open to heavier roles like the one she auditioned for on Palos (it went to Bangs Garcia).

“If the role is not for me, so be it,” she muses. “I’m happy for Bangs.”

ABS-CBN, after all, is giving her everything she needs to become a future lead star. She’s taking up singing and dancing workshops. The Star network chose her to be Piolo Pascual’s leading lady in his MTV.

“I felt nervous, especially in the scene where we were waltzing because Piolo is my crush,” Megan blushes.

She felt more at ease when the network paired her off with Enchong Dee on Astigs.

“That’s why I have no reason to regret my decision to move from GMA 7 to ABS,” relates Megan. Back then, her contract with GMA has expired, and she didn’t have shows. So Megan decided to hop over the other side of the fence.

And while she leaves it up to ABS to pick shows for her, it won’t hurt for Megan should the network cast her in roles that made the likes of Natalie Portman famous in Closer.

“That’s my favorite movie,” she explains.

Does that mean Megan is willing to shed her goody-goody image to play a stripper and have love scenes the way Natalie did in the movie?

“Not until I reach my 20s,” the Fil-Am teenager replies.

Meantime, she’d rather wait quietly in the wings for that one big role that will be the turning point of her career.

Patience, after all, is a virtue.

Megan Young admits being net addict

2008-03-05T15:59:00.000-08:00

Young actress and former Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 housemate Megan Young admitted to abs-cbnNEWS.com that she's an internet "addict".

“Ever since I was a kid super internet addict ako, as in bata pa ako internet talaga ang hilig ko,” Young told abs-cbnNews.com before her television guesting at ABS-CBN.

The teen star made the confession after reports began circulating that many TV and film stars are getting hooked at internet surfing--one of them, in fact, besides herself, is her friend and fellow ex-PBB housemate actor Victor Basa.

“Actually I blog, I do blog but it depends on the mood because I don’t want to blog on something uninterested naman. But yeah I also go to forums like, you know, ang hilig ko magbasa ng creative writing like iyon mga fan fiction,” Young explained.
Young affirmed that her blog is exclusively for her online friends but she’s open to entertaining guests who luckily chance upon her blog.

“Usually it’s for my online friends but if ever somebody finds it I'm open to it, but it’s not like I advertise it or anything," she said.
Young who is the youngest of all PBB Celebrity Edition 2 housemates is now busy taping for ABS-CBN’s weekly show “ASTIG.”

She is also attending workshops, including acting and voice lessons.

Megan Young was the first-ever Starstruck Avenger of GMA-7 and moved to ABS-CBN after her contract with the former expired. She was relaunched on ABS-CBN as member of Star Magic Batch 15.

Megan Young well-adjusted at ABS-CBN

2007-11-20T15:48:00.000-08:00

Very vibrant talaga ang personality ng young actress na si Megan Young at marami ang nagsasabing hiyang siya sa ABS-CBN. Hindi katulad ng iba na parang nade-depress at nine-nega pa kapag lumilipat ng istasyon, si Megan ay lumitaw talaga ang positive points ng kanyang personality.

Medyo nagkalaman pa si Megan na bumagay sa role niya bilang go-getter na trying to please others, pero lumilitaw pa ring palpak sa maraming bagay, sa youth-oriented series ng ABS-CBN na Abt Ur Luv. Kaya nga naitanong ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kung mayroon pa ba siyang nami-miss sa GMA-7.

Ayon kay Megan, "Marami rin akong nami-miss doon [GMA-7] dahil marami akong naging kaibigan sa kanila. Naiisip ko rin sila paminsan-minsan, pero I easily gained friends sa ABS.

"Sa Abt Ur Luv na nga lang, I have become so close with Carla Humphries. I always look forward each taping day na magkakasama kami. And then, kung madaling natatapos ang taping, gumigimik pa kaming magkakabarkada," kuwento pa ng dating StarStruck Avenger.

Over din nga yata sa closeness sina Megan at Carla samantalang ang roles nila sa series na pinagsasamahan nila ay magkaagaw sa isang lalaki na ginagampanan ni Victor Basa. Swear-to-death si Megan na sa tunay na buhay, hindi sila puwedeng maapektuhan ng ganoong conflict ni Carla.

"Walang inggitan sa amin ni Carla," sabi ni Megan. "Feeling ko talaga, sumaya siya nang husto when I joined the cast. Because before, siya lang ang parang ate ng mga kasama namin dito. We're almost of the same age ni Carla. We also share the same interests."

Welcome daw agad si Megan sa Dos na para bang hindi na siya halos nag-adjust.

Marami rin ang nagsasabi na sa ganda ni Megan, talagang nababagay siya sa ABS-CBN dahil karamihan ng contract stars sa Star Magic ay may halong foreign blood at parang sumusunod talaga sa standard of looks and beauty na nai-set ng nabanggit na management arm. Marami rin sa boys ng Star Magic ang may crush kay Megan, na half-American at half-Pinoy.

Samantala, nagkita na raw sina Megan at Angel Locsin, na gaya niya ay nagmula rin sa GMA-7. Wala siyang hangad para kay Angel kundi gaya niya ay maging masaya rin ito talaga sa ABS-CBN. Wish ni Megan na magkasama rin sila ni Angel sa isang proyekto. Huli silang nagkasama sa Asian Treasures, na huli ring nilabasang teleserye ni Angel sa GMA-7 bago siya lumipat sa Dos.

Bukod sa Abt Ur Luv ay napapanood din regularly si Megan sa fantaserye na Kokey.

Megan Young evicted from "Pinoy Big Brother" Celebrity Edition 2

2007-11-18T15:42:00.000-08:00

Megan Young was evicted last night, November 17, from Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2. The Star Magic talent had been nominated three times already but her luck ran out this time when she only got 21.52 percent of the votes cast by viewers of the reality show.

Megan was on the chopping block against Ethel Booba and Ruben Gonzaga. The Ultimate Pasaway garnered 23.72 percent of the votes while the comedian from Davao got a majority vote of 54.76 percent.

When Megan was nominated last weekend, she calmly accepted the black medallion, signifying that she is one the nominees for eviction. But when she talked to Big Brother regarding her third nomination, Megan confided, "Every time na nominated ako, ina-absorb ko ang lahat dito kasi may possibility na ako ang mawala. Baka hindi na ako makapasok uli sa bahay ninyo."

For her part, Ethel coped with the threat of eviction by cracking jokes to lighten up the situation. "Dinidistansiya ko na ang sarili ko sa kanila. Sabi ko sa kanila, 'Wala nang drama-drama kung sakaling aalis.'"

Ruben has been very vocal about missing his family back in Davao. "Minsan nalulungkot po ako. Naisip ko sana makapag-stay pa ako sa bahay ninyo pero hindi ko po hawak yun. Pag lumabas ako, makikita ko na uli ang pamilya ko."

When asked to give her last message to the public, Megan pleaded, "Gusto ko po talagang i-complete ang journey ko dito. Marami pa po akong mako-contribute as a person."

Unfortunately, because she got the lowest number of votes during the third eviciton night, Megan was asked to leave the PBB house immediately. She then placed her footprints as part of the Celebrity Walk of Fame.

It's the end of the line for Megan

2007-11-17T00:39:00.000-08:00

It's been a punishment week for the housemates for all of them committed a violation one way or the other. Kuya showered them with personal tasks left and right. And aside from the hardships they also lost their weekly task this afternoon. Will the housemates' luck pick-up in the coming weeks?

The moment Ethel, Ruben and Megan dread arrives with Toni asking each of the nominees why they should remain and extend their stay. Ethel gave a loud laugh for she is actually longing to see the outside world. "Parang baliktad ata!" she exclaimed and just thanked her supporters. Megan goes next and she shares that being a housemate is one big journey for her and she feels she has still a lot to accomplish inside. Ruben on the other hand tells everyone that everyone will miss the Probinsyanong Promdi if ever he gets the boot.

Toni then lets Ruben of the hook and frees him of his black medallion. Relief flooded the comedian's face while the two ladies remain in the hot seat. Ethel's looks of anticipation to see her 'baby' was erased when Toni announced Megan as this season's third evictee. Megan tearfully hugged everyone good-bye and made her way to the eviction hall to meet Toni. After getting a warm welcome hug from her mom, Megan proceeded to leave her footprints in the Celebrity Walk of Fame.

Ruben accumulated a total of 54.76% of tonights votes while Ethel received 23.72%. Megan was actually hot on her heels with 21.52% of the votes.

Megan and Mariel Do The Sudoku

2007-11-13T21:28:00.000-08:00

Is this a night of reliving some of the memorable happenings in PBB Season 2? Not really. It just happens that Megan's background and traits are somehow similar to the much-loved Cheering Chick. Both are mainstays in the nomination block, they are not used to doing chores and they both have a penchant for sudoku puzzles. Perhaps that's why Kuya also made her wash a giant PBB shirt few days ago to expand her experience in life just like Gee-Ann.

This time, Big Brother had something different in store for the Princess of Charm. He gave her a mentally-stimulating task to accomplish this afternoon. Instead of the usual Sudoku booklet, she was given an illustration board where a 9x9 partially completed grid was drawn. But instead of numbers, pictures of her loved ones, friends and crushes were used in this game. The objective is to fill the rows and columns using the given photos just once.

With the help of Mariel who got a crash course on Sudoku, Megan was trying to finish it since this late afternoon. But they were distracted by witty conversations and of course the various challenges for the day. Many times she had to start from scratch, which happens to be her technique before she can actually complete everything, she confided to Victor. But it simply wasn't working this time, she added.

After eight hours or so, she and Mariel finally made it! They pointed out that all they had to do was take a break from the strenuous activity. Guessing a bit also helped, Megan cheerfully uttered.

In the meantime, 2-in-1 housemate Barron and Donnie are currently making up for the former's violation yesterday. The Wild Child continued to sleep on the bedroom long after the wake up call was sounded.As their punishment, Baron has to sleep on a hard bench with Donni fanning him like a slave the whole night! In addition to that, the Good Brother has to carry him on his back whenever they have to move around. Let's hope the two won't get eaten up by the mosquitoes outside.

Megan nominated for eviction for the second time

2007-10-29T00:13:00.000-07:00

HOH Ethel Booba had first dibs on picking her nominee for tonight. The Ultimate Pasaway chose Megan, basing her vote on the events of previous week. She also noted that she'd rather have Jen back than the Princess of Charm. But even without Ethel's automatic nomination, Megan gathered the third highest point for tonight. The others felt that she's no acting genuinely and is still clueless on what her goal is inside Kuya's house. Can Megan stand another week inside the house? When will she be good enough for the other housemates?

Where is Sugar???

2007-10-28T13:55:00.000-07:00

The Princess of Charm became alarmed when she couldn't find Sugar inside the girls bedroom where she left it. Worse, she claimed that it smells like poo which worried her more for her Persian cat may have been the culprit! After checking every nook and cranny and she still didn't find anything, Yayo advised her to ask the housemates if they've seen it come after her on the sala earlier. Before she stressed herself out though, Big Brother finally intervened by telling Megan to check the cabinets again. True enough, Sugar was hiding on Gab's stuff of all places!

Megan quickly admonished her pet since the owner of her hideout is asthmatic, all the while transferring Sugar to her own dresser. Not long after that, she asked Kuya's residents to bid her cat goodbye. Because even though she's really happy to have it with her, she knew that it would only be a nuisance to them particularly those who are allergic to furs. With that, Victor told Sugar that her adorable presence made them happy even for a short while (as if he's really talking to a person). What's more, he asked it to say hello to Megan's sister for him!

26K girls evicted; Megan Young remains inside Big Brother's house

2007-10-27T16:58:00.000-07:00

Natanggal kagabi, October 27, ang dalawang 26K girls na sina Jen Da Silva at Marylaine Viernes sa Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2. Nailigtas naman ng viewing public si Megan Young na nominated last week.

Umani si Megan ng 87.89 porsiyento ng mga boto samatalang ang 2-in-1 housemates na mga 26K girls ay nakakuha lamang ng 12.11 percent. Sina Jen at Marylaine ang unang natanggal sa PBBCE 2 makalipas ang dalawang linggo sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya. Dahil 2-in-1 housemates sina Jen at Marylaine, ibig sabihin kung manominate ang isa sa kanila, automatically nominated rin ang kanyang kapareha. Bukod sa Brainy Babe Marylaine at Despised Babe Jen, ang isa pang pares ng 2-in-1 housemates ay sina Baron Geisler at ang kanyang nakatatandang kapatid na si Donnie.

Inakala naman ni Megan na kaya siya na-nominate ay dahil naaartehan sa kanya ang mga iba pang celebrity housemates dahil hindi siya kumakain ng isaw. Pero ang totoong dahilan ay dahil kulang raw siya sa energy.

Nang lumabas sa Bahay ni Kuya ang dalawang evictees, iniwan nila ang kanilang footprints sa unang Celebrity Walk of Fame.

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD. Isa pang bagong feature ng Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 ay ang pagkakaroon ng Head of Household (HOH). Ang HOH ay may mga special privileges tulad ng special shower room, at siya rin ay may immunity sa susunod na nomination night. Ang HOH ay may kapangyarihan rin na mag-nominate automatically sa isang housemate for eviction.

Upang pagpasyahan ang unang Head of Household, pinaglaro ni Big Brother ang mga celebrity housemates ng " Touch the Color" ngunit kailangan nilang magsuot ng higanteng mga kamay upang abutin ang mga kulay. Si Yayo Aguila at Ethel Booba ang naiwan sa huling round ngunit nanalo ang Ultimate Pasaway upang maging unang Head of Household. Sino kaya ang ino-nominate ni Ethel ngayong gabi?

Abangan ang next batch of nominees for eviction at ang bagong Head of Household ngayong gabi, October 28, sa Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 Primetime Edition.

Megan Young, Marylaine Viernes & Jen Da silva the first nominees for eviction

2007-10-21T01:16:00.000-07:00

Megan Young, Marylaine Viernes & Jen Da silva are the nominees for eviction last saturday night in Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity 2 on the nomination night.

Megan got 7 pts. while Jen & Marylaine got a combined total of 15 points since Jen & Marylaine played as "Twin" so its a battle between Megan and 26K girls.

Megan was nominated by her housemates because of her attitudes called "Maarte" she always refused in things that she do not want. While the 26K girls Marylaine got the highest vote compare with Jen because many of marylaine's housemates observed that lahat ng gamit ng mga girls housemates ay ginagamit nya ng walang paalam.

Tinawag ni Big Brother ang dalawang 26K girls at inexplain kay Jen kung bakit siya'y nominated. Ito ay dahil kay Marylaine because they play as "Twin" so kung nominated si Marylaine ganun din si Jen. At dahil dito galit na galit si Jen kay Marylaine kasi gustong gusto ni Jen mag stay pa ng matagal sa Big Brother House.

Trivia

Megan Young is an actress and former GMA Network talent. She is the first StarStruck star ever to transfer to GMA's rival station, ABS-CBN, in a bid to change her image from a villain to a "nice girl." She currently plays one of the supporting characters in the sci-fi series Kokey along with first Celebrity Edition Housemate Zanjoe Marudo.
Megan Young first big showbiz break was with the talent reality search Star Struck. With her statuesque height and Fil-Am features, Megan perfectly fits the mestiza master mold that the show contestants seem to have jumped out from. Her talent and personality landed her in the show top six. But despite her good finish, Megan acting career never took off. Projects came to her in trickles. Often she would be typecast as the antagonist, the bitch, the bad girl --- something she found unpleasant.
She soon moved to ABS-CBN following her sister, Lauren, who was part of Star Magic Star Circle 13. Megan first appeared on the show Abt Ur Luv together with Victor Basa. Just recently, she acquired the role of Shane in ABS-CBN hit teleserye Kokey. And Megan happy she plays the nice girl this time.
Megan still has room to grow and she knows that. She is like princess to her family and she's not used to doing chores. During her Star Struck days she was even called a crybaby for being too sensitive.

Just recently, she acquired the role of Shane in ABS-CBN’s hit teleserye Kokey. And Megan’s happy she plays the nice girl this time.

Megan still has room to grow and she knows that. She is like princess to her family and she’s not used to doing chores. During her Star Struck days she was even called a crybaby for being too sensitive.

After PBB Celebrity ends, will we remember Megan as the weeping little girl or as the brave princess who did everything to win?

StarStruck graduate Megan Young now officially with Kapamilya network

2007-06-20T16:49:00.000-07:00

Promising naman ang naging pasok ni Megan sa showbiz nang binigyan siya ng malaking papel sa Say That You Love Me, ang Regal Films/GMA Films launching nina Jennylyn Mercado and Mark Herras. Siya ang ka-love triangle nina Jennylyn and Mark.

Pero sa TV, never nagkaroon ng regular show si Megan sa Kapuso Network. Either pa-guest-guest lang or semi-regular, her last being sa Asian Treasures.

February of this year, nag-lapse ang contract ni Megan sa Artist Center ng GMA-7. She decided to transfer to Star Magic of ABS-CBN.

"They [Artist Center] have the first option to renew but we chose not to sign again. Mutual naman ang naging decision," sabi ni Megan sa press con na ibinigay sa kanila ng mga bagong mukha sa Star Magic—which also include Gian Sotto, Alfonso Martinez, Michael Manotoc, and Michael Manahan.

"Let me make it clear, everything happened [in ABS-CBN] after my release," diin niya.

Nang ma-release si Megan ng GMA-7, saka pa lang daw siya nag-audition sa Star Magic. Nandoon na rin kasi ang kanyang younger sister, si Lauren Young, na part ng Star Magic Batch 13.

"Now, actually, it's easier for our parents dahil one TV network na lang kami," sabi pa ni Megan.

Nakahanda si Megan sa tinanong ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kung bakit sa tingin niya hindi siya nabigyan ng break sa GMA-7.

"I knew you would ask me that," sabi niya. "I really can't answer that. Sila naman ang pumipili kung sino ang gusto nilang ilagay sa isang show. I'm just a contract star."

Ipapasok si Megan sa show ng kanyang sister na si Lauren, ang Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv (Ur Lyf 2).

"Papasok ako as love triangle nina Victor [Basa] and Carla [Humphries]," sabi ni Megan tungkol sa kanyang role.

Ito lang daw muna ang show niya sa ABS-CBN but at least it's a regular show. Asked what Kampamilya show she wants to join in, Wowowee ang isinagot ni Megan.

"Sana may chance ako para makapag-audition," sabi niya. "Gusto ko kasing maging host. I never had that chance kasi. Saka sobrang enjoy kami ng family namin kapag pinapanood namin ang Wowowee. Tawa kami nang tawa."

Ang dating pangarap ni Megan na lumaban sa Binibining Pilipinas, hold na muna. Dati raw gusto niya ito, pero saka na niya ito iisipin ulit kapag of age na siya. Seventeen pa lang ngayon si Megan.

Nagpapasalamat si Megan sa chance na binigay sa kanya ng StarStruck. Pinaalala namin na kapag nagkaroon muli ng StarStruck, hindi na makukumpleto ang all-batch number na ginagawa palagi sa Final Judgment Night.

"Let's see. Malay natin payagan nila akong mag-guest," huli niyang sabi.

One of the most promising and arguably the most beautiful in the second batch of GMA-7's StarStruck, si Megan Young ang isa sa nakatanggap ng cruelest cut of their batch nang nalaglag siya sa Final Four na kinabilangan ng ultimate winning pairs na sina Mike Tan and Ryza Cenon and their consorts LJ Reyes and CJ Muere.

Starstruck female avenger Megan Young lilipat sa Dos

2007-06-04T17:06:00.000-07:00

Malapit nang mangyari ang first crossover ng isang Starstruck to ABS-CBN and a Star Circle Quest to GMA.

Balitang palipat na si Megan Young sa ABS, a Starstruck II avenger who was never given the chance to shine kahit isa siya sa pinaka-outstanding sa batch nila.

Tapos na ang contract ni Megan in that sorry department of GMA pati na rin ang clause ng option to renew, so she can join her sister Lauren Young sa Kapamilya network.             Yesterday, nag-ASAP na sina Megan and Lauren.

If ever matuloy ito, she will be the first GMA home grown star to move to ABS and the next Starstruck reunion will not be complete anymore.

Di bale, may naririnig din kaming isang SCQ na lilipat na rin sa GMA pero hindi pa puwedeng sabihin or mabigyan man lang ng clue. Under negotiation pa kasi ang pirmahan sa bagong manager nito so nothing permanent pa.

StarStruck Avenger Megan Young transfers to ABS-CBN?

One of the most outstanding StarStruck Batch 2 Female Avengers na nasilat sa Final Four during her time, Megan Young is also one of the most underused of their batch. After an introductory role sa GMA Films' Lovestruck, hindi nagkaroon ng regular show si Megan kundi puro recurring roles lang.

Kasabay niya namang nai-launch sa ABS-CBN ang kanyang younger sister na si Lauren Young sa Batch 13 ng Star Magic at napasok din sa Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv.

Ngayon, hamak na mas visible ang younger Young kaysa sa older Young dahil nakadalawa pang StarStruck editions, ang 3 and 4, at parang nawala nang tuluyan si Megan.

Recently, nag-lapse na ang contract ni Megan sa GMA Artist Center.

An insider told us na lilipat na si Megan sa ABS-CBN at malamang, makakasama ang kanyang kapatid sa show nitong Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv (Ur Lyf 2) na nag-third season na.

Wala na raw legal impediment si Megan sa GMA Artist Center dahil lapse na nga ang contract nito at hindi nahabol para ma-renew. Although now that it has leaked out, pinapapirma raw ulit ngayon si Megan dahil balitang may first option to renew ang old contract ni Megan.

Another insider told us na wala nang ganitong option ang contract ni Megan. It was her first contract na may option-to-renew clause na na-renew nga.

If ever, Megan will be the first StarStruck star na lilipat sa ABS-CBN.

No StarStruck star has moved to ABS-CBN, the same way no Star Circle Quest star—ang counterpart ng ABS-CBN sa GMA-7 artista search—na lumipat. Although once, Hero Angeles threatened to do so, hindi nga lang natuloy.
