They fan the >>flames of talk and speculation with a little gesture, >>a slight twitch of their eyebrows. >> >>Kris Aquino is in the eye of the storm right now >>because of her relationship with Joey Marquez. Pops >>Fernandez, with her love life still a big guessing >>game, and Zsa Zsa Padilla, of the quiet, steady >>homelife with Dolphy, have their own brand of talk to >>share. >> >>The three are great friends offcam, sharing secrets, >>agonizing and crying over problems. So, it was not >>only a casting coup, but a no-fuss, no-sweat deal, >>when the three agreed to come together to host Morning >>Girls, their new magazine-type show on ABS-CBN, >>starting Monday, July 22, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. >> >>The chemistry is palpable the minute the three sat >>together for a chat with the press at the ABS-CBN >>building. Ever irrepressible Kris ribbed Pops about a >>new guy in her life and Pops retorted, "He’s only a >>secret crush! (secret until a few minutes back, that >>is)." >> >>Zsa Zsa admits she is partial to travel while >>conceding Kris can tackle anything under the sun. And >>Kris vows not to steal the show from her two co-hosts. >>("Promise, I’ll keep quiet!"). >> >>It’s easy to believe not one of them ever brought up >>the all-important question of talent fee when Star >>Network management offered them the show. They >>chorused "yes, yes, yes!" right away the very same >>day. >> >>It all started one fine day when Zsa Zsa guested on >>Talk TV (the show the trio’s new program will replace) >>to promote a concert. Kris and Pops also happened to >>be around. >> >>Immediately, a light bulb flashed in network >>executives’ minds: why not a casting coup of a show >>that will bring all three friends together? Why not >>work on their built-in chemistry? >> >>"These women are icons of empowerment. Through them, >>women can express themselves and men can understand >>women better," notes Deo Fajardo, creative director of >>the show. >> >>Besides, it’s refreshing to see Kris, Pops and Zsa >>Zsa, they with their individual way of carrying >>clothes, deal with topics that will make viewers learn >>more about them as persons rather than stars. >> >>All three will talk about what they learned from the >>day’s episode at the close of each show. >> >>Kris, the most visible of the three these days, speaks >>for all of them, "The show is also our way of proving >>our loyalty and gratitude to the network. It feels >>good that you are needed, and you can contribute >>something." >> >>"Contribute something" is an understatement. Deo >>Fajardo is gushing at the rich possibilities these >>three women with panache, as he describes them, can >>offer. >> >>"They have such clout they can easily invite guests >>themselves. In fact, they can even act as talent >>coordinators," beams Deo. >> >>Zsa Zsa, for instance, can easily ask home partner >>Dolphy to celebrate his birthday (July 25) on the new >>show. Neither was it hard to invite Robin Padilla (Zsa >>Zsa says all three of them are somehow related to >>Robin – she by blood, Pops because they have worked >>together and Kris, uh, because of the past), Bong >>Revilla, Joey Marquez and even Phillip Salvador as >>guests. In fact, Deo reveals they have agreed to be >>"grilled" in the show. >> >>And because Kris, Pops and Zsa Zsa lead such colorful >>lives, airing an episode on "exes" is as natural as >>appearing before the cameras is to the three hosts. >> >>"Understanding Your Man," a topic the three have a lot >>to say about, is also next in line. >> >>This, and other topics, are not the usual stuff >>variety shows are made of. As Zsa Zsa says, laughing, >>"I’m so glad I have a show that will make me think." >> >>Thus, Zsa Zsa is grabbing this opportunity to stretch >>her mental muscles to the max. >> >>The challenge for Pops is different. This time, she >>does not just sing nor merely interview celebrities >>the way she did in her Penthouse Live! days with >>Martin. Her new lifestyle show will broaden Pops’ >>range of discussion to encompass more sober stuff like >>relationships – her favorite topic, among others. >> >>"But I – we – don’t claim to be experts in this area," >>she admits. So Pops, the self-described listener, >>expects to learn a lot from their guests. >> >>Authorities on topics women care most about will be >>invited. These SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) range >>from Vicki Belo for skin care to Margie Holmes for >>sex-related topics. >> >>Women of privilege – Lucy Torres, Ayen Munji, Gretchen >>Barretto and Kitkat Silverio, will share slices of >>their charmed lives in the episode The Princess >>Diaries. >> >>With Kris, Pops and Zsa Zsa baring themselves, not as >>distant, unreachable stars, but as human beings with a >>wealth of experience to share, women can have >>something more to reflect on, and impart to their >>loved ones at the end of the day.
