Jay-R to host "Take Me Out" (dating show)

R&B singer Jay-R got a great break from GMA-7 which will sharpen her hosting skills. He landed his first solo hosting gig via GMA's dating show "Take Me Out", franchise show from FremantleMedia which originated in the United Kingdom.

One single man has to try to impress thirty single women. Each woman has a light which she can turn off if she is unimpressed by the single man. The man's aim is to convince as many women as possible to keep their lights on so that he can then pick, from the women remaining, the one that he wishes to take on a date. If no lights are left on, then the man must leave the show without a date.

Take Me Out will will replace Family Feud starting on Monday, April 26.

Pinoy R&B singer Jay-R and girlfriend survive train accident in the US, girlfriend's older sister dead

Filipino R&B singer-actor Jay-R and his girlfriend Lisa Calopez has escaped a near death experienced after they survived a train accident while on vacation in the United States. Lisa Calopez's older sister Myra was not lucky enough, she was hit by the train and died on the spot.

GMA's "Showbiz Central" host Pia Guanio interviewed Jay-R’s mom Ampy Sillona, she described the accident as "Terrifying" and she consider it as her son's second life.

She said, "Yeah, kasi ako as a mother, I was really terrified because he almost died because of that accident, and it could have been the six of them, not only one person. Kaya ko nasabi yun."

Jay-R's mom also described the fatal incident:

"Last Sunday, the 11th [of January], they went hiking in the afternoon after church tapos [then] nag end up sila doon sa [there in the] canyon. Meron [there's] tunnel doon [there]. It looks abandoned. Before they came in, before they talked to other people, may mga bata na nag [there were kids who went] in-and-out sa [of the] tunnel na yon and then they were able to talk to a lady with a child."

The group asked the woman what they could find inside the tunnel. To which the woman replied: "Nothing, except for bats and graffiti."

Out of curiosity, the group went inside the tunnel. But as they were walking, Jay-R and his friends heard a train coming.

"And it so happened na ang distance ng train and nung wall like three feet [And it so happened that the distance between the wall and the train was just three feet]," she said.

This caused the group to panic. Myra, the older sister of Jay-R's girlfriend, was hit and died on the spot.

Jay-R was having a hard time recovering from the trauma he had experienced, according to his mom.
