[edit] Format
Showbiz Central combines showbiz news with innovative and out-of-the-box live interview gimmicks. It serves as an avenue for controversial stars to confess, retaliate, and break exclusive statements. It gives many Filipinos a sneak peek at the most talked about upcoming television series and films. It also bridges the gap that separates the stars from their fans. It gives its viewers an idea of what celebrity life is like behind the camera.
Showbiz Central broke the stereotype format of Philippine show business talk shows that tend to be serious, opinionated, tactless and biased.
