Recently, they were launched as the newest “Regal Babies,” referring to the film company Regal Films and its fresh set of talents. Models and Survivor alumni Ervic Vijandre, [leftmost], Ian Batherson [second to the left], and JC Tiuseco [rightmost], are joined by nippo-brasileiro Daniel Matsunaga in the movie outfit’s new roster of talents. Who do you think will make it to leading-manhood?

Sexy young stud Jake Cuenca is out to prove to everyone that he can carry a serious movie as a lead actor. Forever waiting in the sidelines with just his Bench Body briefs on, Jakey’s now making the giant leap by starring together with Dennis Trillo in the dramatic wife-swapping flick My Neighbor’s Wife. The movie will start its commercial run on 14 September 2011 in major theaters nationwide.

These are the GMA boys. They’re waiting in the wings for the next big thing over at the network. Who’s the best bet for stardom? Is it Starstruck alum, sexy singer and Mossimo 2009 contestant Dex Quindoza [leftmost]? How about controversial actor Prince Stefan [middle]? Theater actor Jay Gonzaga [rightmost] looks promising, right?

And then again underwear model, Survivor and Starstruck alum Ian Batherson [leftmost] is also poised for leading-man roles in GMA. Is he the one? Will newbie Pancho Magno [second to the left] use his mother [a top GMA exec] and her connections to further his career to the top? Ex-model and Survivor hottie Marvin Kiefer [second to the right] might just make it. And lastly, Next Big Star winner Geoffrey Taylor is hoping for his star to shine brighter over at the network. Who will make it?

That would have to be actor-director Albert Martinez these days, as he appears in print ads announcing that “looking 30 at 50 is easy with Belo,” referring to the beauty medical group. While his younger brother William has apparently gotten more advanced in years, Albert’s still looking pretty hawt for his age. Happy Monday!

Hunk-of-the-moment Neil Etheridge gets on the cover of the September issue of Men’s Health Philippines, fresh from the recent high that Folded and Hung underwear has made for him. The 21-year-old goalie shares cover space with fellow Philippine Azkals member Phil Younghusband, and inside story with his other team mates.

In recent news, actor Piolo Pascual comments that his relationship with a female, KC Concepcion is “ok,” in response to reports that the girlfriend is having problems with him. Rumors spread again as to the true nature of the relationship when KC’s mother, Sharon Cuneta warned – “I just want whoever it is that will be in my daughter’s life to love her and take care of her the way we would. Kasi hindi ko pinalaki yan para i-take for granted o balewalain [Because I didn’t raise her to be merely taken for granted or ignored].” KC is set to give a statement tomorrow in her showbiz talk show. Those out for blood will, of course, not get anything as the network is all set to protect its prime leading man.

Tv host and model Borgy Manotoc poses provocatively, in all his nekkid Bench Body splendor in the backyard grass. This one’s a nice pose, with his gooch nearly showing and scrotum outlined to its full form. Happy Friday everyone!

Now this one looks nice. There seems to be a halo around Neil Etheridge‘s head, making him some sort of an icon. Probably an icon for horse-hung underwear endorsers. Or whatever hung affiliations there might be. This one’s from the Folded and Hung shoot. I’m hoping he’ll drop the towel soon.

With these images, I’m imagining Brent Javier just woke up with a teenie boner, smiling from a good night’s [and day’s] sleep. This veteran model and former Mossimo Bikini Summit winner is making a comeback on tv pretty soon via a travel show with c0-mod Borgy Manotoc.

Is he next on the Bench Body block of underwear models? Will Rocco Nacino – known for being a go-getter, finally pose for the underwear company in his bikinis, legs spread apart, butt cheeks showing with a hint of lush hair down there?
