Barbie Forteza, Kyline Alcantara face off in 'Beauty Empire' teaser
The upcoming GMA Network, Viu Philippines, and CreaZion Studios series just dropped a new teaser and it is already intense.
Barbie Forteza, who plays Noreen Alfonso, is shown at a photoshoot. Seconds later, Kyline Alcantara, who plays Shari De Jesus, comes up and tells her, 'Hello, CEO ng mga hindi gaganda.'
Noreen claps back, 'Andito pala ang self-proclaimed CEO.'
Shari then throws water at Noreen, and Noreen pulls her hair. They then throw flowers and eyeshadow at each other.
The ladies are stopped by Velma Imperial, played by Ruffa Gutierrez.
Before the teaser ends, Barbie says, 'Simula na ng pinaka magandang laban.'
"Beauty Empire" is produced by GMA Public Affairs, based on the original concept by CreaZion Studios. It dives deep into the intense rivalries and high-stakes drama among powerful women as they navigate the beauty industry driven by ambition, revenge, and power.
It is set to premiere soon on Viu before debuting on GMA Network.
Aside from Barbie, Kyline, and Ruffa, 'Beauty Empire' also stars Choi Bo Min, Aaron Maniego, Gloria Diaz, Chai Fonacier, Sam Concepcion, and Sid Lucero.
Some parts of the show were shot in South Korea.

Ybrahim's cause of death revealed in 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre'
"Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" finally revealed the cause of death of Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid). The King of Sapiro passed away earlier in the series, but there no explanation for it. Now, Encantadiks finally got the answer: he died of a broken heart. Monday's episode showed Ybrahim mourning Amihan (Kylie Padilla), who died in the 2016 "Encantandia." Overwhelmed by grief, the King of Sapiro fell into a slump—neglecting his people and retreating into the shadows. His people, along with Imaw, urged him to breathe new life into Sapiro by siring an heir who will take the throne after him. But Ybrahim could only cry out in despair. The king said he already has a child—Lira (Mikee Quintos), his daughter by Amihan. However, the princess was part of the succession of Lireo, a duty she already declined. "Kailangan ng Sapiro anak na kikilalanin nito. Rehav, iyan ang pamanang iiwan mo sa lahat ng iyong nasasakupan," Imaw said. "Binawi sa akin ng Bathala ang aking kaligayan, kung kaya't hayaan natin siya ang pumili kung sino ang babaeng magdadala ng pag-asa sa Sapiro," Ybrahim answered. Alarmed by Ybrahim's desperation, Imaw asked Bathalumang Emre to send Ybrahim the rightful woman who will stand as the Queen of Sapiro. With the help of a retre, Sapiro found a new queen in Ybrahim's former flame Alena (Gabbi Garcia) who gave birth to their daughter Armea (Ysabel Ortega). As Armea became the heir of Sapiro, Alena abandoned her post as the queen of Lireo to be a mother, Ybrahim's wife, and the Queen of Sapiro. Despite it all, Sapiro remained in despair, as Ybrahim continued to grieve the loss of his great love. Clutching a miniature figure of Amihan, a tearful Ybrahim retreated into the darkness, confessing that he was tired of pretending to be happy. As he voiced his regrets for himself, his daughters, and Alena, Ybrahim pleaded with Emre to let him let go of everything and be reunited with Amihan. "Amihan, handa na ako," he said and hugged the figure tightly. With these final words, a blinding light enveloped Ybrahim, who quietly and peacefully passed away on the throne. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News

In Devas, Gaiea vows to create her own fate
As Danaya (Sanya Lopez) mourned the loss of Gaeia (Cassy Lavarias) and Aquil (Rocco Nacino), Amihan (Kylie Padilla) welcomed the father and daughter to Devas (heaven). Monday's episode showed a flashback of the death of Gaeia and Aquil in the mortal world to give way to Bathalumang Emre's prophecy. After arriving in Devas, Gaeia met Emre and questioned him about her untimely death. "Bakit ako? Hindi ako masama. Wala akong ginawang mali. Naging masunurin ako sa aking Ada at Ado at sa lahat ng mga nakakatanda sa akin. Ngunit, bakit mo ako hinayaang mapaslang para sa isang kapatid na hindi ko na makikilala pa? Kami po ba ni Ado ay sakripisyo lamang?" she said. Emre then told Gaeia that she is not a sacrifice but a new beginning, while her sister Terra (Bianca Umali) represents the "hope." Gaeia then pleaded with Emre to bring her back to life so she can reunite with her mother Danaya and welcome her sister Terra to the realm of Encantadia. "Tutulungan ko sila. Sasagipin namin ang Encantandia sa anumang panganib at kung sino man ang nagbabanta sa kaniya," she said. Despite her pleas, Emre could only offer her to serve as a guiding light for her sister. Though overwhelmed with grief, Gaeia's spirit remained unbroken, vowing to forge her own destiny. "Kung hindi mo ako kayong ibalik, kung ang tadhana ay para lamang sa mga pinili, hindi ibig sabihin wala akong saysay. Ako ang lilikha ng sarili kong tadhana," she said. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Yasmien Kurdi paid homage to her "StarStruck" days at the GMA Gala 2025. On social media, the Kapuso actress shared a photo of herself on the blue carpet at the gala night, confidently strutting in a red tube gown—an upcycled version of the one she wore 21 years ago. "Do you remember this gown? This is the very same gown I wore during Starstruck's Judgement Night 21 years ago!" Yasmien said. According to Yasmien, she wanted to quietly pay tribute to everything GMA Network has done for her, so she decided to have the gown upcycled by Filipino fashion designer JC Buendia. "I had the best time at the Gala reconnecting with old friends who truly feel like family. Happy 75th, GMA! Here's to many more years of storytelling and memories," she wrote. Yasmien was among the contestants of "StarStruck" Season 1 that aired on GMA Network in 2023. She finished as the First Princess with Jennylyn Mercado being hailed as the Ultimate Female Survivor. She is married to Rey Soldevilla and has two daughters, Ayesha and Raya. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
