Who Will Be the 1st Pinoy Biggest Loser Contestant

Bar owner Art Mendoza lost the most weight to become the Biggest Loser of the Week in “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition” and he is just nine pounds away from being the first Pinoy Biggest Loser con­­­­­­testant to lose 100 pounds.

He is facing a stiff competition from 31-year old Ryan, who has lost 92 pounds since the start of the show and now weighs 204 lbs. And once he loses eight more pounds, he will be the fastest Pinoy BL contestant to lose 100 pounds.
Art, who weighed 341 pounds at the start of the competition and joined the reality show because he didn’t want to die obese, lost an impressive ten pounds this week to weigh 250 pounds. To date, he has lost a total of 91 pounds.
This week, none of the remaining contestants went home after the group lost a total of 36 pounds, which was higher than the minimum required group weight loss of 30 pounds.
“This is the best and the happiest birthday I’ve ever had,” quipped Winwin.
This week, the seven remaining contestants undergo a cook-off, an Energizer challenge, and face another temptation.
The contestant who will eat the most pieces of macaroons or kwek-kwek will have immunity for the week. Will any of the contestants succumb to it?
The second placer will have the power to choose pairings for the week, which will be crucial because the next weigh-in will be done by pairs.
Who will be the next contestant to be eliminated? Watch “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition,” after “Guns and Roses” on ABS-CBN.

Talking Animals ‘Zookeeper’

In Columbia Pictures’ wild comedy “Zookeeper,” the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo love their kindhearted caretaker, Griffin Keyes (Kevin James).

Finding himself more comfortable with a lion than a lady, Griffin decides the only way to get a girl in his life is to leave the zoo and find a more glamorous job. The animals, in a panic, decide to break their time-honored code of silence and reveal their biggest secret: they can talk! To keep Griffin from leaving, they decide to teach him the rules of courtship – animal style.
“I have two kids and we go to the zoo all the time – their expectation is they’re going to be able to communicate with the animals,” says producer Todd Garner, explaining the project’s genesis. “So the idea was to make a movie about animals teaching a zookeeper how to find love. Our goal was to create an idea where all the fantasies of the children in all of us could come true.”
Kevin James, who co-wrote, produced, and stars in the film, plays a zookeeper at a crossroads in his life. “Griffin takes a lot of pride in his job, but after flaming out in his latest relationship, he thinks he’s got to make a clean break and move on. But the animals think he’s the best zookeeper they’ve ever had – they can’t risk losing him. So that’s when they reveal they can talk – it’s risky for them, because things tend not to go well for them when people know they can talk, but they’re in dire straits. They have no other choice.”
Once the script was written, the filmmakers were able to attract a truly all-star cast of comedy voices to play the animals. “We were incredibly fortunate to get the voice cast that we have. Adam Sandler got on board first to play the monkey – and now, I can’t imagine anybody else playing that part,” says director Frank Coraci.
“Adam is so talented, he could have voiced any animal in this movie, but I can’t think of a better match than the monkey,” says co-screenwriter Nick Bakay. “The monkey is one of our best animal actors – it did incredible faces and exhibits tons of personality, just like Adam.”
Cher joins the film as the zoo’s lovely and loving lioness, with Sylvester Stallone as the king of the jungle himself. Nick Nolte plays Bernie, the gruff gorilla, who becomes an unlikely friend to Griffin. The voice cast also includes Judd Apatow as Barry the elephant; Jim Breuer as a neighborhood crow; Jon Favreau and Faizon Love as Jerome and Bruce, a pair of quarreling grizzly bears; Richie Minervini as an ostrich; Maya Rudolph as a Mollie the giraffe; and UFC fighter Bas Rutten as Sebastian the wolf.

On camera, the filmmakers have also assembled a cast of equally strong actors. Rosario Dawson plays a veterinarian and eagle expert, the object of Griffin’s affections. Leslie Bibb plays Griffin’s ex-girlfriend, the one who broke his heart and sets in motion his plan to leave the zoo. Ken Jeong delivers another memorable performance as Venom, the reptile expert.
Opening soon across the Philippines, “Zookeeper” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
