KC Concepcion's Star Circle Quest for the Next Kiddie Superstars

ABS-CBN is once again looking for the the next kiddie star that will shows his/her entertaining charm and talent skills in Star Circle Quest!

In 2004 and 2006, ABS-CBN launched a nationwide talent search that opened the doors for multi-talented kids like Nash Aguas, Sharlene San Pedro, Quintin Alianza and Mika dela Cruz to become the industry's brightest kid superstars; that is, Star Circle Kid Quest. The quest went on in 2009 and consequently found new talented young gems, namely, Bugoy Carino and Xyriel Manabat.

This year, the magic goes on with Star Circle Quest for the Next Kiddie Superstars. Hosted by KC Concepcion, the program aims to discover fresh, young faces with amazing talent and charming personalities and consequently, develop them to become award-winning stars and good role models for kids. Moreover, Bugoy and Xyriel, two notable alumni of SCQ Kids, will join KC as co-hosts; they will be assisting the new SCQ Kid Questors throughout the journey towards superstardom.

But unlike the previous editions, the program is in search not for one but two Kiddie Superstars--a boy and a girl. For 12 weeks, the aspiring kiddie superstars will undergo a rigorous selection process to be facilitated by the quest's credible jurors Direk Rowell Santiago, Vina Morales, and Gladys Reyes. They will be exposed to different talent and personality development workshops that would unleash their potential.

Who will be in and who will be out? Find out on Star Circle Quest for the Next Kiddie Superstars which will premiere on December 4, Saturday, after Wansapanataym on ABS-CBN."

Piolo Pascual admits that he is courting actress KC Concepcion but many doubting

ABS-CBN actor Piolo Pascual admits that he is courting actress KC Concepcion but the timing are being doubted by many due to their upcoming television series “Lovers in Paris (remake).”

Don't get me wrong, I respect Piolo Pascual and KC as an artist but using this old trick in the book of publicity is a big No No!

But if indeed he is courting KC, it will be a good chemistry on and off screen.

Is KC Concepcion victim of Dr. Hayden Kho's hidden camera?

The Mega-mom actress Sharon Cuneta will never like this rumored report!!

Is the infamous Dr. Hayden Kho will now face a new enemy? Reportedly, Sharon's eldest daughter KC Concepcion who is definitely one of the rising star in the Philippines is allegedly one of the victims of Hayden Kho’s hidden camera.

According to Starmometer, Hayden had been able to video-tape her secretly using his mobile phone camera while dressing up in an undisclosed location, at Belo Clinic perhaps?

The video is said to be spreading in mobile phones but it’s not yet confirmed though if the woman dressing up on the video was indeed the mega-daughter herself.

Many are now asking, Is this rumored report against KC Concepcion true or not? Or it just a demolition job because KC's stepfather Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan recently announced that he will run for the Vice President position in the 2010 election.

The Cuneta-Pangilinan are two of the top influential clan in the Philippines. I hope that Hayden doesn't mess up with this family because he will be a dead man walking!

Celebrity Doctor Hayden Kho is currently in big trouble for his sex videos with various women (recording without their consent) which is now becomes a national issue.
