On August 25, GMA Network presents My Husband's Woman (Korean Title: Nae Namja-eui Yeoja) from SBS starring Kim Hee Ae, Kim Sang Jung, Bae Jung Ok and Lee Jong Won.

It will be a tale of a passionate relationship with lots of twist and consequences.

Hwa-young (actress Kim Hee-ae) has a realistic, rational personality. After her college graduation, she worked in a hotel and met a Korean-American man who she later married. When they moved and lived in the US, Hwa-young discovers her husband’s physical problems and the inability to have children, even after trying artificial method. Due to the failure of his business, her husband falls deep into depression and commits suicide. After becoming a widow, Hwa-young returns to Korea…

With the help of her good friend, Ji-soo (actress Bae Jong-oak), Hwa-young starts her life in Korea again after ten years. She then meets Joon-pyo (actor Kim Sang-joong) who is married to Ji-soo and lives a stable life but has a loveless marriage. Hwa-young falls madly in love with Joon-pyo and even moves into the same neighborhood as the couple to be closer to him.

Ji-soo met Joon-pyo during their freshmen year in college. After seven years of dating, she was finally able to gain the approval of his family but was never welcomed in his household as a daughter-in-law. For these reasons, Ji-soo suffers from her own personal pressures to be a perfect wife and help her husband become successful in his life and career. But her emotions turn to anger and hatred when she learns of the betrayal of her husband and good friend. The drama unfolds at this point in their lives...

My Husband's Woman will be Mondays through Fridays, only on GMA-7's Telebabad.

Boots Anson Roa's advice to new arstist: new artist must have "EQ" attitude

Filipina veteran actress Boots Anson Roa is known for her loving, compassionate, modest attitude towards her fellow artist and her contribution to public service.

As one of the Philippines' Icon, she gave an unsolicited advice to new artist who is trying their luck in the Philippine entertainment industry.

She also said, "Mahalaga din ang timing, ang swerte, pero mahalaga lalo ang pagsisikap kailangang pag-trabahuan mo ito. Pero higit sa lahat ang pakikisama. I think that's what will keep people in the industry.(Artist must be in the right timing, some luck and the most important is the friendly relationship or interaction to others)."

After the jump are the Gary V's list......

On Ricky Lo's columnm Gary has listed 25 personalities that influenced his life and career.

1. MICHAEL W. SMITH — He introduced me to the art of modern worship to Jesus. I met him in Puerto Rico during the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Global Mission concert in 1995.

2. STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN — I just love the purity and creativity of every inspirational song; the man who wrote I Will Be Here.

3. STEVIE WONDER — Though blind, he still manages to see with eyes of his heart.

4. JAMES TAYLOR — The simplicity of his music always manages to leave its mark on the listener’s heart.

5. AL JARREAU — He doesn’t dance but his vocal gymnastics always gets me movin’.

6. PHIL COLLINS –- No one else sounds like him.

7. STING — There’s just something about his music that digs deep into the soul.

8. DAVID FOSTER — An exceptional songwriter/producer who simply always brings out the very best in every artist he works with. From Earth, Wind & Fire to Josh Groban, David Foster is truly one of music industry’s major contributors.

9. EARTH, WIND & FIRE — There’s never been any other group quite like them and never will there ever be any other group that has created sounds and rhythms that have transcended generations.

10. BARRY MANILOW -– Maybe it’s because I’m Pinoy, or maybe because I was once a hopeless romantic but whatever the reason may be I think it all boils down to the fact that the man has simply sung songs that stirred my heart.

11. MICHAEL JACKSON — Usher and Justine are just two of many who have included a touch of Michael in their performances. It’s like the two best learning from the very best.

12. CHICAGO — I grew up with their music, I will grow old and grey with their music as well.

13. QUINCY JONES — James Ingram was the voice behind the hit Just Once but it was producer Quincy Jones that put it all together. One artist I truly respect. He was also highly responsible for producing one of the biggest selling albums of all time, Michael Jackson’s Thriller album.

14. BRIAN TRENCEAU (BT) — For me, he is to music what Albert Einstein is to science. He is an absolute genius with his whole arsenal of ideas that fits any genre. From film scores to dance music, he for me is the most innovative and probably the best on my list.

15. MON FAUSTINO — My musical arranger, vocal arranger, musical director for over 15 years now. His passion and dedication to his craft and his God is quite infectious. Also a great and thoughtful friend. (He is considered one of, if not, the best vocal arrangers in the pop music scene.)

16. JAY DURIAS — There’s a certain feel to his work that always makes me listen to it again and again. Great, great songwriter and producer.

17. BRIAN McKNIGHT — He is probably one of the most versatile male vocalists today. He is a master at using his vocals. I really admire his talent and am privileged to have guested him in my concert in LA a couple of years ago at the Shrine Auditorium.

18. SAMMY DAVIS JR. — If anyone can watch this man’s past performances, you will see why he’s on my list.

19. JAMES HORNER, TREVOR RABIN, JOHN WILLIAMS, HANS ZIMMER, JAMES NEWTON HOWARD, CHRISTOPHER BECK, STEVE JABLONSKY — These are only some of a group of artists who have perfected the art of completing what we watch in movies by creating musical scores that take the experience of watching to new levels of action, love, realization, understanding, joy, tears and laughter.

20. BURT BACHARACH — His music, if and when played, 20 years from now, will still create the same impact it continues to have on everyone.

21. SERGIO MENDES — It’s like this man never really went with the flow but went his own way and took many of us for the ride. I absolutely love his music.

22. FRANK SINATRA— When one hears a voice that seems to fit in to the category of being one that is classic, genuine, unique, soothing, moving, relaxing, entertaining, captivating, there is one standard the world goes by — Frank Sinatra.

23. TONY BENNETT — If you haven’t yet heard his Duets album, go get yourself a copy now. This is one man whose voice has never deteriorated with time, but rather, has only gotten better. How he does it I do not know but he is on my list for sure.

24. THE CARPENTERS — It’s more than just the music. It’s the memory of my family: All seven children, mom and dad, putting up the Christmas tree, celebrating New Year’s Day, or simply hanging around in our house in Greenhills on the first day of summer break. Somehow, I remember their music playing when these images come in to my mind.

25. THE BEATLES — Need I say anything more?

Hero Angeles in GMA network, a good jinx or a bad jinx?

Hero Angeles is now a GMA artist. Is that a good news or a bad news?

The former ABS-CBN’s Star Circle Quest artist signed a contract with GMA Network and now he will be cast in a upcoming TV series for his first project.

Before Hero jump away from the Kapamilya network, he and his brother/manager Henry Angeles left some bad dispute towards some ABS-CBN artist and officials that cause some media frenzy.

Some people close to them described both brothers having an attitude problem that hard to handle.

Now, German "Kuya Germs" Moreno is helping the guy to back on track. GMA Artist Center (GMAAC) gave him a role in the upcoming fantasy primetime series Dyesebel and he will play Aljur Abrenica’s brother.

According to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), in a text message to them Gabby will make a interview with Boy Abunda and will appear in ABS-CBN's The Buzz.

There is previous report that theirs a talk of his comeback in movies with GMA Films with Jolina Magdangal but suddenly Gabby has decided to back out from the film a few weeks before the shooting starts.

Gabby will make his first appearance in ABS-CBN, is this mean theirs an under the table negotiations that happened to them? I'm sure GMA officials are now scratching their head right now.
