Directed by Jerry Lopez-Sineneng, Way Back Home is set to be released on August 17, 2011!

Thai model and actor Mario Maurer is set to do a film under Star Cinema and a TV show on ABS-CBN once he arrives in the Philippines, PR Asia Worldwide Communications director Joyce Ramirez revealed Sunday.

Although still premature since official casting has not been started, Ramirez said Kapamilya actress Erich Gonzales would most likely be Maurio Maurer's leading lady in the movie project after a recommendation from Star Cinema.

"ERICH GONZALES is the TOP actress recommended to us by Star Cinema - her acting skills, Filipina looks make her a perfect fit for the ROLE," Ramirez tweeted.

However, Ramirez reiterated that the Mario Maurer-Erich Gonzales movie is not final yet.

"THE SELECTION of the ACTRESS position will only be revealed after Mario Maurer reviews the SCRIPT - so nothing is FINAL yet! Thank you," she said.

"Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square shortly before 4:05 pm (1505 GMT) today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased," a police officer told AFP.

Shortly afterwards, authorities confirmed Amy Winehouse's death.

The cause of the singer's death is still being investigated.

Winehouse had received extensive publicity over her drug and alcohol problems as well as her mental health issues. Last month, her European tour was cancelled after she appeared too drunk to perform in her concert in Serbia.

Winehouse's popularity skyrocketed when she won five awards at the Grammys for her 2006 second album "Back to Black" and the hit single "Rehab".

Shamcey Supsup in short hair?

Shamcey Supsup, the Philippines' representative to this year's Miss Universe beauty pageant, did her official photo-shoot with photographer Raymond Saldaña recently where she tried out different looks.

It said to have made her look more sexy and sophisticated, and thus might give her more chances of getting the Miss U judges' attention. What do you think? Check out photos of Shamcey Supsup in short hair below:

Gaga still rules on Twitter, though (with 11.6 million followers, she bests Rihanna, who is down at #13 in Twitter followers).
