"Si Ate Kris kasi, we talk," admitted E-Live's Toni Gonzaga, but adds, "Even before she made this decision, kinausap na niya ako, si Mariel [Rodriguez] at si Bianca [Gonzalez]. Tatlo naman kami."

Since nabanggit niyang nakakausap niya si Kris, gaano ba talaga sila ka-close?

"Hindi ko masabing close na Tito Boy [Abunda] closeness na meron sila. Close in a way na thankful ako na, in a way, kinu-consider niyang isa sa mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan niya. Hindi lang siguro sa trabaho, but I guess with her life. The mere fact na kinunsider niya ako na gusto niya akong maging friend...

"Kasi, hindi ko naman akalaing aabot kami sa ganoong level, kasi, ever since I entered ABS-CBN, ang tingin ko talaga kay Ate Kris, reyna talaga siya ng mga talk shows. Isa siya sa mga institusyon sa ABS.

"It all started two years ago nung kinuha niya ang number ko. I can still remember. That's when it all started, kung anuman ang meron man kami ngayon."

BEST SHOWBIZ ADVICE. Kung sakaling siya nga ang papalit kay Kris, nagbigay na ba ito sa kanya ng payo sa pagho-host?

"Marami siyang sinabi sa akin. Hindi ko makakalimutan na sinabi niya sa akin na mahalin ko yung staff ng show... Na hindi lang ang trabaho ko ang mahalin ko, kundi yung mga katrabaho ko. Hindi lang on cam, kundi off cam. Yung staff, yung audience, fans...

"Yun yung isang bagay na nakita ko sa kanyang importanteng-importante sa industriya."

Maraming nagsasabing mas mababagay siya sa The Buzz kaysa sa SNN.

"It's a big responsibility...," umpisa ni Toni. "Walang puwedeng pumalit kay Ate Kris sa The Buzz... Kung sino man ang pupuwesto at lulugar sa The Buzz, siguro, she has to be herself lang... pero hindi niya kayang palitan si Ate Kris!"

Kung lilipat nga siya ng show, paano na ang Entertainment Live?

"E-Live will go on. Maraming changes na mangyayari in the coming days. So, abangan n'yo 'yan!" pagtatapos ni Toni.

....NAGSALITA NA ANG BAYAN....

....it only means that the one and only ULTIMATE MULTIMEDIA STAR is the heir to the throne of the QUEEN OF ALL MEDIA!...

...walang duda... websites, blogs, polls, networking sites, maging chismisan ng mga magkakapitbahay... si TONI GONZAGA lang ang sinasabi nilang may KARAPATAN at may KAKAYAHANG pumalit kay KRIS AQUINO sa kanyang mga babakanteheng trabaho...

Although there are a lot of female talents from ABS who are being groomed to be the new generation of talk show hosts, Toni G is a league of her own. She is refreshing to watch, very enigmatic, sometimes she's serious and then she can shift gear to being mischievous and funny with the blink of an eye. Toni G makes her guests feel at ease so the interviews usually flow smoothly, with the guests answering more than they should reveal. I would love to see her on The Buzz. Whoever says that there is no chemistry between Boy and Toni must have not seen them together on SNN.

Someday, I hope ABS-CBN will be able to give Toni a show of her own which can showcase her being a multi-faceted artist!

it looks like boy abunda might also be leaving the buzz. I'm guessing the whole show will now get a face lift. Fine with me. Time for something new anyway :

haha. That's right. If u want a no-holds bar, taklesa at intrigera, just get annabelle rama!! LOL I'm actually sick of seeing those types of hosts, that type of gossip. Who says every viewer wants to see that? Not me. Look at Boy. He is nothing like Kris, but he is the most effective hosts out there today. Plus, I've always been entertained watching Toni. She is not boring to watch. She is funny, spontaneous, witty, charming, and really listens to her guests.

I would love to see what can become of the buzz, if Boy amp; Toni G. combine forces. Two of the classiest hosts in the Philippines. A new era in talk show entertainment.

She is perfect for the job. Si Toni ang pinaka natural na taong nakita ko when it comes to hosting. Walang pretentions, walang pa cute at try hard factor. Hindi plastic. Alam niyang hinde sya sobrang ganda kaya hinde sya 'nagmamaganda'. I remember when she was featured in baliang K, sabi ng Tatay nya

'Nung nasa audition sya, sabi ko sa kanya pang 800 ka dito kung kagandahan ang titingnan. So, dapat ang ipakita mo sa kanila, the whole package, kung sino ka talaga at kung ano ano bang talent ang maibibigay mo sa kanila.

Boy how right is her father. Npka talino, articulate at smart ni Toni.

Unlike Pia Guaniona nkakasuka ang kapal ng makeup at ikli ng shorts, ang hilig mgpa tweetums e 35 na kaya siya kya ang sagwa...anybody want to add to these kaartehan ni Pia g?

kahit ano pang sabihin natin yung may mga ugaling no-holds -barred pa rin ang mga effective na hosts sa mga showbiz oriented talk shows.nakailang reformat na ba at ilang palit ng shows bago naging Elive, yet hindi pa rin matibag tibag ang startalk? kc mga intrigerat intrigero mga hosts doon. sa the buzz,dahil anjan ang taklesang si kris,hindi ba from s files nagpalit na naman to showbiz central pero the buzz pa rin nangingibabaw.ilagay na lang c toni sa wowowee palitan ang mga lousy hosts doon..doon mag eexel ang hosting skill nya.

kelan ba naging standard ng good host ang pagiging taklesa at intrigera? edi si annabelle rama na lng.

ma-challenge naman sana ang staff, writers and host to come up with a high rating and decent showbiz talk show. at tama na yung pagresort nila sa mga cheap hype ng host gaya ni kris. buti nga kris had the good sense to step down para di gawing katawatawa ang administration ng brother nya.

boy abunda is a good host. di nya hinahug ang limelight, he listens and draws out his guests. may laman ang opinions nya. i see the same qualities in toni. toni is ready for the challenge of hosting any of the shows that kris will vacate. she doesn't need to mimic kris' antics but would be most effective just by being herself.

I love her! She is the best replacement for Kris Aquino. She's smart and no doubt she could be able to perform this job well.

Agree. All those other people mentioned are nice, but none of them are on Toni's level. Toni is the only host to beat Ms. Kris Aquino in the Best Showbiz Female Host. It's only natural that she take over Kris' place. Anyway, like the article said, Kris already spoke to Toni. Yay!!!!

One comment here suggested ROSSANA ROCES.

That's not a bad idea.

I mean its a late night show by that time MRTCB is already asleep.

Actually, putting TONI is like nakakasawa..its like putting the same old formula. Its tried and tested na.

Look what happened to ROBIN, who ever thought ROBIN hosting of WOWOWEE would be a success.

I'd say bring ROSSANA on board!!!

There's no question about it. Toni is the perfect host. Walang kapantay. Iba sila ni Kris. Parehong magaling pero parehong iba ang style. I'm routing for Toni all the way. . .

it is a simple LOGIC, Kris is THE QUEEN OF ALL MEDIA and Toni is THE PRINCESS OF ALL MEDIA aside from being THE ULTIMATE MULTIMEDIA STAR. Kris should be replaced by someone deserving on that status not just by some stars who hasn't proven anything yet in hosting it would be a great insult to Ms. Kris. If KC,replaced Ruffa then it would be truly right that Toni will replaced Kris. Toni is the only one who got the throne from Kris from being THE BEST SHOWBIZ-ORIENTED TALK SHOW HOST.Kris had been consistently winning that title for years and it was only Toni who was able to win it over.Besides, abs had made a poll on this and the majority of the viewers had spoken and it is TONI that they chose. i think abs should honor that. oh well,no matter what,it is like a promotion and i hope toni will get it because surely she deserves it.

Marami lang talaga na iinsecure kay Toni. Dahil bukod sa napakaganda niya, ang dami pa niyang trabaho. Mabait kasi at professional. Sabi nila pati raw si sir Gabby may crush din daw kay Toni. ABS-CBN is very lucky to have a talent like Toni. Ang dami niyang kayang gawin.

I hope they will give Toni her own show soon. Sana morning to night natin siya mapanood araw-araw.

Ang ganda talaga ng mga mata ni Toni. I think that's why marami siyang shows kasi she has expressive eyes. Pero kahit bulag pa siya, napakaganda pa rin niya ! Kaya ang daming may crush sa kaniya.

Kahit naman saan ilagay si Toni, she does great ! If sa The Buzz siya ilagay, ok din. They won't put just any new person to replace Kris. That's too risky. Dapat tried and tested and multi-awarded host like Toni.

Well Toni is very suitable to replace Kris Aquino.
Even though she is not maarte like Kris.
Toni got an awesome charisma, intelligence and talent.
Compare to Mariel na laging sumisigaw. and sometimes wala siyang sense. trying hard kris ang dating niya.

Bianca is also good as Toni, but she lacks the charisma na meron si Toni..

Sana siya nga pumalit dahil she deserves it naman.

I'm rooting for Toni.

I'm also a fan of Toni Gonzaga, pero kung may ipapalit man kay Kris Aquino sa The Buzz, dapat yung 'no-holds-barred' yung ugali.. Mas maganda kung si Alessandra De Rossi ang ipapalit kay Kris sa The Buzz.. Kasi si Toni, marami na siyang ginagawa and FYI po, kahit na over exposed na si Toni atleast MAGALING siya, di gaya ng sa kabila na PA-ULIT-ULIT nalang mga artista mas OVER EXPOSED yung ibang artists sa kabila like Pia Guanio, Joey De Leon, etc, mga nakaka-UMAY!

Very hot and sexy talaga ang katawan ni Toni ! Kaya marami ang naiinggit. Sabi nga ni Kris, if I had that body I will flaunt it at lagi ako mag mi miniskirt. Mukhang nauubusan na ng ma ibato kay Toni ang iba dito. I often hear people say she really has the sexiest butt and legs in showbiz. And she is really the best in whatever she does. Sobrang galing kaya kinaiinggitan !
