Why Pia Wurtzbach turned down 'Big Brother' offer

-


Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach has revealed that she got an offer to be one of the housemates for the popular American reality show "Celebrity Big Brother."

But Wurtzbach had to turn it down because of showbiz commitments here.

“I was offered to do ‘Big Brother’ also but it was around the time that we were doing ‘My Perfect You’ so this was my priority,” said Wurtzbach in an interview on ABS-CBN.


Should Wurtzbach accept the offer, she would appear opposite Miss Colombia 2015 Ariadna Gutierrez who won 1st runner-up in the Miss Universe contest.

It would be recalled that Gutierrez was initially declared as winner of the 2015 Miss Universe pageant. But host Steve Harvey admitted that there was a mix-up and Wurtzbach was the real winner.

Wurtzbach, 28, stars in the movie "My Perfect You" opposite Gerald Anderson. It's her first lead role since she started acting at the age four.


The Filipino-German beauty queen said that her boyfriend Marlon Stockinger is supportive of her showbiz career.

“He’s very supportive. He’s not gonna be there during the premiere night but he’s going to watch in another time because he’s busy. But he’s very supportive and I am happy with that;

“I am very lucky because he lets me have my moment. Even nung Miss Universe ako, he knows to let me shine so I am very happy,” she added.


Wurtzbach said that she still dreams of becoming the next Bond Girl which she first revealed when she became Miss Universe.

"Nakabantay ako doon kasi alam kong may lalabas na bago. They are really trying to experiment already with the cast so it means that it's gonna be really different this time. Even sina Esther (Swan), Miss Universe, IMG, they all know that I want something like that. If not that, something like that," Wurtzbach said.


"Busy kasi ako dito. Dapat nandoon ako so I get stuff there. For example, we'll start first as leading lady sa music videos and then we'll slowly work our way up. But it's still there. It's still at the back of my mind," she added.

Wurtzbach also said that she will soon use her scholarship at the New York Film Academy which she won in the prestigious beauty contest three years ago.

"Gagamitin ko pero hindi muna ngayon. Kailangan kong bumalik doon. Pero hindi muna kasi pumirma ako ng kontrata dito," she said. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
