If ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ were a series, it would be "Stylista". Expect drama, intrigue, controversy, unscripted comedy and a whole lotta style when this hit reality show premieres on April 29, 2009 at 7:30pm on Velvet.
Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with one of the most exclusive and elite fashion magazines in the industry today, Elle Magazine. These hopefuls work as assistants to Elle’s Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon.
Executive produced by Tyra Banks and Ken Mok - the geniuses behind America's Next Top Model - each episode of Stylista features a different and challenging assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment that the competitors must carry out – from styling a model to producing a fashion spread and even presenting their artistic ideas to a client. In consultation with Elle’s Creative Director Joe Zee, Anne fires one person each week until the last assistant standing gets “promoted” to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000.
Who will be able to face all of the challenges head-on and still stay poised and fashionable? Only the right fit will emerge as the ultimate “Stylista”.
Don't miss a single exciting episode of this fashionista staple! Stylista premieres April 29, Wednesday at 7:30pm, only on the home of prestige and glamour, Velvet channel 53, available on SkyCable Platinum, SkyCable Gold, SkyCable Silver and other quality cable operators nationwide.

Unlike other music awards, only 100% Pinoy works were included as official nominees while revivals, music sampling (for rap songs), Tagalized versions and the likes were disqualified.
Making the cut for the Album of the Year category is Yeng Constantino’s “Journey,” Sandwich’s “S Marks the Spot,” Itchyworms’ self-titled album, and Moonstar 88’s “Todo-Combo.”
Martin Nievera, Bugoy Drilon, Piolo Pascual, and Rico Blanco were among the nominees for the Male Vocalist of 2008 category while Sarah Geronimo, Yeng Constantino, Aiza Seguerra, Laarni Lozada, and KC Concepcion were nominated for Female Vocalist of 2008.
For the Band of the Year category, it’s a showdown among top bands Itchyworms, Hale, Spongecola, Sandwich, Moonstar 88, Cueshe, and Imago.
Breakout Star of 2008, on the other hand, includes nominees Bugoy Drilon; Laarni Lozada; Bea Alonzo; and KC Concepcion.

The Philippines’ premier vocal ensemble recently made a leap from the FM to the AM band via DZMM Radyo Patrol 630.
Moy, Ces Jay, Sweet, and Anne of The CompanY are the featured voices in the sizzling new summer jingle from ABS-CBN’s flagship AM radio station.
DZMM debuted the jingle last 5 April via the program “Music and Memories,” anchored by Boots Anson-Roa and Willy Nepomuceno.
With a summer and fiesta feel, the tune is able to maximize the unique vocal prowess of “The CompanY,” showing why the group remains a hit even after almost 20 years in the music industry.
According to ABS-CBN Manila Radio Division head Peter Musngi, the jingle is a rearranged version of DZMM’s popular station ID.
“It has been a DZMM tradition to invite notable OPM artists to give their own rendition of our jingle. Sharon Cuneta, Gary Valenciano, and Charice Pempengco all lent their voices before. This year, we’re proud to have “The CompanY” give their own twist to the station ID,” he said.
The new DZMM summer jingle, arranged by Marc Lopez and Moy Ortiz, can now be heard over DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 and DZMM TeleRadyo on Skycable channel 26 on an hourly basis.

With pristine beaches and virgin rainforests, the remote town of Palanan can very well be a first-on-the-list destination for vacationers and nature-lovers. However, with the lack of roads attaching it to the province of Isabela, the “Last Stand of the First Philippine Republic” remains unknown to many Filipinos.
This Tuesday (Apr 21), guest correspondent Dominic Almelor rediscovers the forgotten paradise of Palanan, which has been trapped in obscurity since being known as the hideout of then Philippine President Emilio Aguinaldo during the time of the Americans.
Surrounded by the mountains of Sierra Madre and the waters of the Pacific Ocean, Palanan can only be reached by boat or via a small plane. It’s this isolation which has made it hard for people to get there, as well as technology.
Up to this day, residents move around the town only on motorcycles, tricycles, or horses. Romeo Donato, a Palanan native, even had to fly out to Isabela to get proper medical attention for his rare illness.
Dominic will find out what future lies ahead for the people of Palanan and if there’s still hope that roads can be constructed to connect it to the rest of Isabela.
Join Dominic Almelor on his adventure to Palanan’s forgotten paradise this Tuesday (Apr 21) on “The Correspondents,” right after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN.
