Billy Crawford New PDA and ASAP '08 Host

Buzz is spreading that Fil-Am international singer Billy Crawford, who I've only heard about, is making a jump in the showbiz scene by now becoming a Kapamilya with the signing of his contract with ABS-CBN.

Apparently a GMA-7 boy before, many of his friends from the opposing network channel are surprised about Crawford's reported role as host of the second season of Pinoy Dream Academy (PDA), which is set to begin next month. Alongside Billy will be Toni Gonzaga and Nikki Gil, who will also be hosting the show.

To add to his schedule, he will also be one of the hosts for ABS-CBN's popular noon-time musical-variety show ASAP '08. This is part of the exclusive contract that he will be signing with ABS-CBN, as soon as he returns from the US, that is.
