New TV project for Jennylyn
Jennylyn Mercado will not be a "frozen delight" after all on GMA 7, following the controversy that her talent manager, Becky Aguila, got enmeshed in with the network executives a few months back. It was said Jennylyn’s career might suffer when Becky pulled out her other talent, Angel Locsin, from the Kapuso network and made the latter sign with ABS-CBN.
GMA 7 formally announced last week that Jennylyn will lead the cast of the new suspense-horror series, "La Vendetta." She is now in the thick of taping scenes for her new TV assignment which will reunite her with her erstwhile boyfriend and love team, partner, Mark Herras. They will be joined by Sunshine Dizon, Lotlot de Leon, Rustom Padilla, Paolo Contis and Chynna Ortaleza.
A network insider confirmed to Mister Showbiz that "La Vendetta" will start airing in November and will be pitted against ABS-CBN’s suspense-horror, "Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara," starring Kris Aquino.
Meanwhile, it’s also Richard Gutierrez versus Angel Locsin on primetime TV. While they used to work together in top-rating teleseryes on GMA 7, they will now be virtual rivals. Richard will star in "Kamandag" which, we heard, will be up against Angel’s "La Loba Bianca" on ABS-CBN, with Piolo Pascual as her leading man.

Sinigurado ni Jennylyn Mercado sa boyfriend niyang si Patrick Garcia na kahit madalas silang magsasama ni Mark Herras ngayon, hindi pa rin maapektuhan ang kanilang relasyon. Sa ngayon, happy si Jen sa relasyon nila ni Patrick. Aba, mahigit isang taon na rin sila ni Patrick, ha! Sisikapin din daw ni Jen na kahit sobrang busy siya ngayon, hinding-hindi niya pababayaan si Patrick. Sa ngayon kasi, busy si Jen sa digital film na "Nars", at sa bagong serye ng GMA 7, ang "La Vendetta". Magsyusyuting din sila ni Jacky Woo ng pelikulang "Manila West Side Story". "Alam naman niya ‘yung dedication ko sa trabaho at siya rin naman, seryoso sa trabaho niya. Pero siyempre, kailangang magbigay rin ng panahon para sa lovelife. Hindi ko puwedeng pabayaan `yon," sabi ni Jen. Abante Online by: Rey Pumaloy

ABOUT SHOWBIZ Ni Nitz Miralles Sunday, October 14, 2007 Sunud-sunod ang project ni Jennylyn Mercado sa GMA-7 dahil bukod sa La Vendetta, kasama rin siya sa Joaquin Bordado at parehong si Mark Herras ang kapareha niya rito. One month din siyang magi-guest sa Bubble Gang, pero hindi pa rin siya mapapanood sa SOP dahil hindi pa rin daw tapos ang shooting niya ng Resiklo. Balik-Regal din siya’t matutuloy na ang Ang Nanay Kong Aswang at si Eugene Domingo na at hindi si Aiai delas Alas ang gaganap na nanay niya. Tinatapos din nito ang Manila-West Side Story ng Forward Group Inc., directed and produced by Jacky Woo. Excited si Jennylyn dahil ipapalabas sa Japan ang nasabing pelikula. Samantala, hindi pala kilala ni Jennylyn si Lian Paz, ang girlfriend ni Mark. Maaaring nakikita niya ito ‘pag naggi-guest o nanonood siya ng Eat Bulaga, pero hindi niya matandaan ang mukha. Kahit magka-salubong sila, hindi niya ito mababati dahil hindi nga kilala. Dapat siguro, ipakilala ni Mark ang present gf sa dating nobya.

JENNYLYN AVOIDS TALKING ABOUT MANAGER
JENNYLYN Mercado says her vital stats now is 36-25-36. No wonder a popular men’s mag is imploring her to pose sexy for them on their cover, just like what her StarStruck Batch 1 colleagues, Katrina Halili and Cristine Reyes, have done. “Ay sorry, pero hindi ko po talaga kaya,” she says.
Jen avoids talking about her manager, Becky Aguila, and just says her loyalty remains to be with GMA-7 who launched her to stardom as Starstruck winner. “In fairness, hindi naman talaga ako pinababayaan ng GMA,” she adds.
Is the rumor that she still owes her manager some P1 million true? “As far as I know, I don’t owe her anything at gayundin naman siya sa akin. Wala kaming utang sa isa’t isa.”
Is she sore at Angel Locsin as her own career was put on hold after Angel’s messy transfer to ABS? “Wala kaming gap like what some people are saying. But it’s true wala na kaming communication since she moved to the other station.”

Jen, masama ang loob kay Becky!Rey Pumaloy NAGSALITA na nga si Jennylyn Mercado tungkol sa intriga sa kanila ng manager niyang si Becky Aguila. Inamin ni Jen na sumama ang loob niya kay Becky. Sa story conference ng "Manila West Side Story", na bida sila ni Jacky Woo, sinabi ni Jen na doon lang niya muling nakita si Becky. Sabi ni Jen, bagama’t nakakapag-usap sila ni Becky noon, parang hindi raw sapat `yon, lalo na noong mga oras na naghahanap siya ng karamay. Kuwento pa ni Jen, akala niya noon ay hindi na siya makakabalik sa showbiz dahil sa away ni Becky sa GMA 7. Kaya nagpapasalamat siya ngayon na binigyan siya ng bagong serye ng Siyete, ang "La Vendetta". Siyanga pala, ayaw na lang isa-isahin ni Jen ang mga tampo niya kay Becky noon. Pero, itinanggi niya na may utang sa kanya si Becky. Siyanga pala, tatlong buwan na lang ang itatagal ng kontrata ni Jen sa GMA Artist Center. At hindi pa siya sigurado kung may pirmahan ng kontrata na magaganap sa pagitan nila. *** Anyway, itinanggi naman ni Becky na napabayaan niya si Jen dahil kay Angel Locsin. Sabi niya, kahit kailan ay hindi niya puwedeng pabayaan si Jen, dahil anak na ang turing niya rito. Inamin ni Becky na hindi siya nakikipag-usap ng personal sa GMA Artist Center mula noong magkagulo sa pagitan niya at ng GMA 7. Kapag may project daw si Jen, ang kanyang assistant daw ang nakikipag-usap sa Artist Center. Anyway, may bagong album na lalabas si Jen mula sa GMA Records. Wala pa raw itong title, pero nai-record na niya ang kantang "How Do I Live", na kung saan ay ka-duet niya si Janno Gibbs.

Siyete ang pinili, manager nilaglag na ni Jennylyn! By: Vinia Vivar Hot 'n Spicy
Marami ang nagulat sa mga naging pahayag ni Jennylyn Mercado sa Startalk last Saturday at isa na kami roon. Ikinagulat at ikinalungkot namin ang mga sinabi niyang hindi maganda sa manager na si Becky Aguila. Sa tono ng pananalita ni Jen, igini-give-up na niya ang taong malaki rin ang naging hirap sa kanya at naging malaking bahagi sa kanyang kinalalagyan ngayon. Tinanong si Jen kung ano ang magiging reaksyon niya sakaling bitawan siya ng manager at ang sagot niya, “That’s okay.” Nasundan pa iyon ng tanong na mas tatanggapin niya ba ’yun kesa bitawan siya ng GMA-7 at ang sagot niya, “Siyempre, kahit sino ang tanungin ninyo, oo siguro ang sagot. Ayoko nang pumasok ulit sa problemang hindi ko naman kasalanan. “So ngayon, sana, huwag na ulit akong madamay. Trabaho na ulit ako sa GMA. Loyal naman ako sa GMA, and thankful ako sa kanila na binigyan nila ako ng opportunity after all.” Nakaloloka rin ang dialogue niyang siguro ay mag-aartista na ang kanyang manager, obviously dahil lagi itong nakikitang nagpapa-interview sa TV. Halata rin sa tono ni Jen na may sama siya ng loob, pero kapag tinatanong naman siya ni Tita Becky, lagi niyang sinasabing wala silang problema. Tinanong siya tungkol sa utang niya sa manager at diretsa niyang sagot, “wala po.” Inaakusahan din niya ang manager na sinisiraan siya at huwag naman daw sanang ganu’n. Hindi namin inaasahang marinig mula kay Jen ang lahat ng mga sinabi niya patungkol sa kanyang manager. Maliwanag at walang kaduda-dudang inilaglag na niya ito. Ang akusasyon niyang sinisiraan siya ay walang basehan. Granting na lumabas ang tungkol sa utang, kasiraan ba ’yon? Makasisira ba sa pagkatao mo kung ikaw ay may utang? Okay lang kung hindi niya aminin. Pero hindi niya kailangang ilaglag ang sariling manager para lang maisalba ang sarili. Sa sama ng loob ni Tita Becky, ayaw na muna niyang magbigay ng kahit na anumang komento kay Jennylyn. Siguro raw, kailangan na nilang pag-usapan ang lahat at pagkatapos ay pareho silang magdesisyon. Tutal naman, base sa tono ni Jennylyn ay namili na siya between her manager and GMA-7, and obviously, ang network ang pinili niya.

Jennylyn takes her sweet revenge By Jerry Donato Friday, October 19, 2007 Jennylyn Mercado is not getting married anytime soon as shown in the main picture. She is just playing a beautiful bride and a vengeful sister in the upcoming GMA 7 soap titled La Vendetta. As the title of the soap suggests, the GMA 7 Artist talent is making a TV comeback, as she puts it, after a brief hiatus. Her last TV show was the hit fantaserye Super Twins. She is also taking “revenge†to claim the title as the most visible StarStruck female alumna, a title currently held by StarStruck runner-up Yasmien Kurdi of Pasan Ko Ang Daigdig. La Vendetta is manna from heaven to Jennylyn after her career was reportedly “frozen†because of her manager (Becky Aguila) and fellow talent’s (Angel Locsin) exodus from the Kapuso network. Jennylyn was beaming like a bride when The STAR met her and the rest of the cast of La Vendetta in a recent pictorial at Rene Mejia’s Studio in Quezon City. “It is my comeback project and the biggest so far after Super Twins,†says Jennylyn of her latest TV outing. “I will do a mature role this time. La Vendetta is heavy drama. At ako’y pipigain dito (it will test my acting mettle).†But doing drama is not uncharted territory for Jennylyn. She has done Now & Forever’s Dangal, Eternity and Blue Moon. Jennylyn delivered with flying colors in those dramatic outings with Best Supporting Actress nominations in almost all award-giving bodies for Blue Moon. Besides, her life is a well of inspiration  and motivation  to play any role her director asks her to. What challenges her, however, is the fact that she will be pitted against drama veterans Sunshine Dizon and Jean Garcia, the two other female lead stars of La Vendetta. Also in the cast are Dante Rivero, Caridad Sanchez, Paolo Contis and Mark Herras. “I worked with them before,†relates Jennylyn. “I did Encantadia with Sunshine; Say That You Love Me with Jean. I’m very excited to work with them again. Sharing the spotlight with these actresses is a challenge. “I am also pressured because the previous soap, Impostora, La Vendetta is replacing did a good showing in the ratings game. I hope our show will at least equal if not surpass what Impostora has achieved.†La Vendetta is a story of three sisters (Sunshine, Jean and Jennylyn) with different personalities and secrets. Their individual differences will put sibling rivalry to another level and push one of them to the extreme. Is Jennylyn’s character the one taking revenge on the soap? “If ever my character is vengeful, it’s because her sisters did something bad to her,†says Jennylyn. “Am I vengeful? No, it’s not my nature to run after those who have wronged me. Besides, I believe in karma. Si God na ang bahala sa kanila.†How does she feel now that she is finally under the care of GMA 7? “I’m relieved. I’m thankful to my family, friends and GMA 7,†says Jennylyn. “(With what happened in my career recently), I can say it paid off that I stayed. It was a test. They (GMA 7) don’t want to invest on someone to whom their efforts will go to waste. They looked for loyalty, something I could and I can give them.†All’s well that ends well. Jennylyn is also busy working on her third album of ballads, revivals and covers. She will have another duet track with Janno Gibbs after their hit Moments of Love. The album will be released in December. On Nov. 24, Jennylyn will have a show at Zirkoh. Her fans will also see her in Resiklo and Nars. Aside from doing TV soaps and movies, Jennylyn finds time for charitable work. She heads the Bata Foundation for battered people aged five to 25. The foundation is supporting the financial and emotional needs of 150 kids. “I have helped a lot of people (through my work). I have also fulfilled many things for myself,†says Jennylyn. “I’m the breadwinner. My parents are old. It’s payback time. It’s important to share one’s blessings.â€Â

Wala rin palang mangyayari kahit mag-rally pa ang mga fans nina Mark Herras at Jennylyn Mercado sa labas ng GMA 7, dahil imposible ring magsama ng mahaba ang mga idolo nila. Well, maiksi lang pala ang role ni Mark sa La Vendetta. Kailangan din kasi niyang mawala agad sa serye na `yon dahil lalabas din siya sa serye ni Richard Gutierrez, ang Kamandag. Sa kaso naman ni Jen, hindi rin niya kailangan ang ka-partner dahil agad din siyang mamamatay, at babalik na lang sa La Vendetta bilang multo. Hindi muna namin ikukuwento ang buong istorya ng La Vendetta, dahil baka hindi na ninyo subaybayan. Pero, sinisiguro ng Siyete na ang La Vendetta ang kauna-unahang palabas sa TV na magdudulot ng matinding suspense sa lahat. Kumbaga, magsisimula raw ito ng bagong trend sa TV sa Pilipinas. Siyanga pala, kasama rin sa La Vendetta sina Jean Garcia, Sunshine Dizon, Paolo Contis, Polo Ravales, Wendell Ramos, Chynna Ortaleza, Luis Alandy, Lotlot de Leon at Rustom Padilla.

Magiging multo ang karakter ni Jennylyn Mercado sa suspenserye ng GMA na La Vendetta.
Bunso sa tatlong bidang magkakapatid na si Almira Cardinale ang role ni Jen sa La Vendetta na maiipit sa tunggalian sa pagitan ng kanyang dalawang nakatatandang kapatid -- ang mapaghiganti at mukhang perang si Amanda (Jean Garcia) at ang misteryosang kapatid sa labas na si Eloisa Cardinale (Sunshine Dizon).
"Challenging ‘to para sa akin, kasi ngayon lang ako gumawa ng medyo mature role na talagang heavy drama," sey ni Jen.
Happy raw siya sa bago niyang primetime show sa Siyete dahil maganda ang kanyang papel. Nang matsika namin si Jen ay hindi pa nakukunan ang mga eksenang isa na siyang ‘ghost’ dahil buhay pa siya sa istorya.
Nilinaw niya sa amin na magtatagal ang karakter niya sa La Vendetta kahit pa kasama rin sila ni Mark Herras sa Joaquin Burdado ni Robin Padilla. M-W-F daw ang taping nila sa Vendetta at T-Th-S sa Burdado.
Ani Jen, walang problema sa kanila ng nobyo niyang si Patrick Garcia ngayong pinagtatambal ulit sila ng ex-BF niyang si Mark. Personal daw ang sa kanila ni Patrick at tanggap niya na mas gusto ng publiko ang Mark-Jen tandem.
