God is Good

Because He made Sam Pinto almost perfect face-wise but didn't give her enough brain power to answer simple questions.

If you want a trophy girlfriend who will look pretty beside you in parties and events, then Sam Pinto is the girl for you.

At presscon for a movie in which she has a little bit of role, Sam Pinto was asked what her role in the movie was? Sam brought out that perfect white smile of hers to distract the audience that she was scrambling for answers and is coming up blank.

Instead of answering I was the BFF of the lead actress or I was the one who was unfortunate enough to run over by a truck in the movie, Sam told reporters to just watch the movie and find out.

Wrong answer. You don't say "just watch the movie" to movie reporters unless you have complimentary tickets at the ready.

It's either Sam Pinto is pa-mysterious effect to make it appear her role is this "oh-so-exciting-worth-watching breakthrough performance or she's simply a nitwit. Yeah, let's go with the second possibility.

I watch Sam in Pinoy Big Brother: Melason Edition and she has the personality of a rock. No offense to rocks out there. The humongous hour glass in the Pinoy Big Brother house was more exciting to watch. At least the hour glass will tell you when time's up.

The only time she showed personality was when she drunk her ass off and went drama queen with the resident transgendered, Rica. The next day was back to same old, same old. Typical.

I get the vibes Sam considers showbiz bakya but "acting" is the easiest way to be rich and popular. You know, a girl's gotta do what she gotta do.

Kimeralds Are Not Guilty! - Gerald Anderson

Gerald Anderson rose to the defense of those crazy Kimerald fans, saying he doesn't believe they are behind the death threats directed at him and Bea Alonzo.

After crying in a press con, Gerald might as well cut off his balls and hand them to the Kimeralds. The Kimerald can then place Gerald's balls in a place of honor at their Kim Chui shrine where they meet regularly to chant their idol's name.

If the criminal minds who are the Kimeralds are not the culprit, then who? We know just a whiff of Gerald Anderson sniffing around a girl other than KIm would be enough to push them over the edge. Mention the names Pauleen Luna and Empress Schuck from Gerald's past and the Kimeralds are ready to compose death threats.

Kimeralds should just let Gerald Anderson be. He's what, 21 years old? He's young and should be allowed to let out his inner manwhore. Kim ain't doing it enough for him. Accept the truth, Kimeralds!

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown: Jon Hall Voted Out, Good Riddance

Jon Hall is the first castaway to be voted out and the first jury member in Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown.

Jon Hall played hard and left with a whimper. That's what you get when you are so obvious in your game play. In the end, his immunity bracelet got wasted since he chose to play the knight in shining armor to his damsel in distress.

So with that move, Michelle Madrigal will be on my TV for another week, maybe. Job Hall is the perfect bootee - he's an immunity threat. But Jon is easier to watch on TV than Michelle.

I hate that Michelle cries at a drop of a hat, insinuating that they were being ganged up on - she and Jon against the entire tribe. Boohuuu... How easily she forgets strutting on Nagar like a pretty little princess to Jon Hall's king of the jungle when she was in the dominant alliance with Jon and that idiot Ian Batherson.

At any other time I would have rooted for Jon to win Survivor he's the close to the epitome of a winner - just tone down the strategizing a bit and lose Michelle and he's perfect. However, casting Michelle Madrigal screwed him from the very beginning. To put it bluntly, the Survivor producers screwed the game for him because they were clearly after drama not good game play and strategy.

Now, Michelle, if she is Survivor game savvy or perhaps has two brain cells left to rub together, can take advantage of her position as a swing vote in a tribe of nine to stay further in the game.

But knowing her strategy, or the lack of it, Michelle will just wait for luck to fall her way. Acting your way into making your tribemates into reconsidering voting you out does not a strategy make.

Now I have to suffer a one or two episodes showing Michelle lamenting her recently booted beau and how she really wants out of the game.

And now if one member of that tribe is smart enough to get away from that herd mentality, they will let Michelle stay and vote out Akiro Sato or Ervic Vijandre. It's time to weed out the strongest.

Petrang Kabayo Reviewed by Cinema Evaluation Board

And nothing. No rating. WHATSOEVER!

The nerve of those snotty bitches thumbing their noses at this masterpiece, this remake of the 90s box office hit starring Roderick Paulate.

What do these bitches know about movies and movie making. Didn't they read that Vice Ganda, star of this horsey flick, nearly died from heart attack because she absolutely hates as in abhor snakes and she had to act opposite a large boa constrictor in one of the scenes?

A true professional of his craft, Vice Ganda neigh to the occasion. We know that boa could have swallowed Vice, literally and figuratively, without trying.

Speaking of Vice, I gotta admit I admire his balls for speaking out against ex MTRCB chair La Guardia, who Vice feels did her job so well that she was aiming to suspend Showtime for a second time.

However, less than 24 hours, Vice took his balls back by admitting mea culpa and I think even calling La Guardia on the phone to explain the words she said against the chairman.

The words were basically "chairman La Guardia does not exist for her."

If you must really be a bitch own it. Otherwise, shut your mouth.

There were people calling Vice mayabang and ill mannered. Yeah, those people have never spoken ill nothing against another person their entire life, not once.

The irony of it all is that a few days after Vice Ganda stuffed his ego and pride in his pants together with his balls, La Guardia was replaced by Mary Grace Poe Llamanzares. Where's ex-La Guardia now? Totally not monitoring Showtime or any other show. Ain't that a bitch?

Kimerald Should Get A Life

Instead of making Gerald Anderson cry.

That's what Gerald Anderson did - cry - while answering a question from a reporter at the recent press conference for his new movie with Kim Chui "Til My Heartaches End."

Their fans, known interplanetarily as the Kimerald, allegedly threatened to splash acid, the kind that disfigures, on the faces of Gerald and his alleged new squeeze, Bea Alonzo. As if that's not cuckoo enough, the Kimerald allegedly sent death threats to Gerald and his mother.

During the same press con, Kim Chui, also with tears rolling down her cheeks, asked their fans to behave and stop with the threats. That's all Kim Chui can do really because who will watch her movies and give her lavish gifts if the Kimerald are all put in straight jackets by men in white and sent into a padded white cell.

Just because the Kimerald gave Kim and Gerald each wide screen TVS does not give them the right to make Gerald cry. They could just have asked for the TV back, you know.

Who can blame Gerald for outgrowing Kim? Kim herself has changed over the years from her stint in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition, thanks very much to plastic surgery. Surely, Gerald has the right to switch to liempo after dining for years on bulalo.

These are the same fans who threatened voodoo on ABS-CBN executives who will dare to break Kim and Gerald apart. Who needs fans when you have the Kimeralds around? Craaazy is putting it mildly.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown: "Tribe Leader" Buhawi Meneses Is Voted Out

How useless are you as the tribe leader that three members of your tribe unanimously voted you out without talking to each other? Well, at least that's what the editing of tonight's boot episode tried to show us.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown has just got boring with the Magan tribe appearing in their third straight tribal council. Tribe leader Buhawi Meneses saw his torched snuffed out this night because frankly his tribe mates might as well fend for themselves. Buhawi was one the contestants that showed a lost of promised early on. I don't know what happened, but he suddenly lost steam following the boot of Doc Ferdz.

Buhawi was never felt by his tribe. So good riddance. Even his tribemates did not shed a single tear. So moving on.

Survivor producers must have been worried about losing viewership because judging by next week's episodes, Magan will be no more and the game once again becoming a battle between two tribes.

Good news for me because I will bail if the fuckery that is the current Survivor Philippines continues. A talent contest for the reward challenge? What is that?! Either GMA 7 is searching for their next big star in Survivor Philippines or the mosquitoes have eaten the last remaining brain cells of challenge producers, hence they can't think of a more survival-type challenge.

Please, I want to see Jon Hall's ass kicked - preferably by Moi but anybody will do. I'm not picky. Ian Batterson's discovery of Michelle Madrigal and Jon Hall's trickery regarding the gold coins is very promising. I hope the stupid moron follows through with his plan to go along with Moi, Ervic and whathisface?... Aaron!

And please enough with the visits by former Survivor contestants! Ano ito guesting ng mg talents ng GMA-7? I don't need to see Nanay Zita there, please. If I want to see her I will try to find her billboard for a laundry soap along Edsa or some highway.

Mariel Rodriguez and Toni Gonzaga Are At War

Since Toni Gonzaga is promoting Kokey@Ako, we found out that she has an ongoing rift with her friend Mariel Rodriguez.

But Toni is keeping mum on the true cause of her rift with her erstwhile BFF. But clarifies it did not stem from her aborted movie with Robin Padilla.

"Tapos na kasi, so maigi na ‘yong tapos na. Ayaw ko na. Kung ano na ‘yong mga narinig ko, kung ano na ‘yong mga nalaman ko, akin na lang ‘yon. Huwag n’yo na siyang tanungin sa akin."

However, just a day after Toni's attempts to be secretive and vague came many speculations in tabloids and TV showbiz news programs about the caused of the rift between Toni and Mariel Rodriguez.

Toni allegedly gots the hurt after she learned that Mariel calls her "duling" behind her back. To make matters worst, Mariel imitates her hosting style with her eyes cross.

Well, friends should be above physical flaws. I believe that. But the truth really hurts. Ain't that right, Toni? I've written in this blog that there's something something in Toni eyes, which I suspect is the reason why her fans or non-fans claim that she's suplada.

And Mariel... is a dumbass. If you are childish enough to make fun of your BFF behind her back, then you should also be smart enough not to get caught. But then again in all my years I haven't encountered a childish person who is also smart.

Word is Toni is not the only victim of Mariel's cattiness and bitchiness. There's also KC Concepcion. Yes, the megastar's daughter. Mariel, the insekyora, allegedly questioned why KC was given Simply KC when she is the better host of the two.

Where Mariel got the information that she is a good host, we can only blame to one or two fans who previously frequented Wowowee. And please, KC may not possess the charisma of either of her parent but KC's fingernails are unarguably prettier than Mariel's fez.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown: Not Too Shocking Boot of Mykah


Mykah Flores, the bidang extra, turned out to be another oxygen stealer, another mouth to feed who must be booted out STAT. Magan tribe did not disappoint by voting out Mykah in last night's tribal council.

Mykah will not be missed. So that's that.

On the more interesting happenings at camps this week.

Thank goodness that only-the-leader-will-vote-the-next-bootee thingy was just a one-time event. If it were up to Buhawi again he might have decided to let Mykah stay at the last moment.

Buwi is annoying me. For a leader, he actually has no balls that's why he got insecure with Doc Ferdz. He hasn't got the mettle to last til the end because he won't be able to make the right decisions.

Moi and Aaron giving those coconut leaf wall/roof panels to Sar Mayee will work in a networking situation but not in a game where the smartest and strongest has the most likelihood of emerging the winner. As much as I dislike Michelle Madrigal and Jon Hall, they were right in that making the other more miserable and weak will be to Nagar's advantage.

What's with Jon hating Moi? Galit ba siya sa pangit? I am not saying Moi is unattractive but looking at his standard of beauty (hello Audrey Miles and Michelle Madrigal), Moi definitely gets the shortest end of the stick.

Jon Hall is strategizing hard, as in very hard. I suspect it will come to bite him in the ass sooner rather than later. If the bitee were Moi or Aaron, that would be a fitting comeuppance.

The "kidnapping" of Ervic by Nagar is like the monkey wrench thrown into Jon's plans for Moi and Aaron. I would really like to see either Jon or Michelle voted out by the swing vote of Ian Batterson. Ian is okay by himself but gets annoying when I see him in the company of Jon and Michelle.

Last night's tribal council was really boring. I found myself thinking over and over again "I do not need to know these things." Boring questions and even more boring answers.

Next time on Survivor Philippines, a whole episode of Solenn's birthday celebration. Really.

Marian Rivera and Bela Padilla End Rift


The catfight between Marian Rivera and Bela Padilla, the costars from GMA-7's Endless Love, ended before it even begun.

Marian Rivera and Bela Padilla, together with their respective entourages, met at a closed door meeting with GMA 7 executive Wilma Galvante to patch things up between them.

After 10-15 minutes inside, Marian with her manager left without granting interviews. Bela stayed inside the office, with a satisfied look on her face, according to sources. Marian reportedly left immediately to go to a hospital where boyfriend Dingdong Dantes, allegedly the center of the catfight between the two ladies, is laid up.

What promised to be an epic battle between good and evil turned out to be a dud!

Just as Bela's manager Claire de la Fuente and Bela's relative Eva Carino (ang atribi na inang yan nina BB Gandanghari and Robin Padilla), have entered the fray. Then a long-winded written official statement from Dingdong defending Marian and confessing his undying love for her, and ... that's it. Booo!

Shaina Magdayao Scandalous Rumor Is Not True - Boy Abunda

In his SNN TV program, TV host/manager defended young star Shaina Magdayao against rumors that she was brought to the emergency room recently still intimately attached to boyfriend, actor John Lloyd Cruz.

The rumor started as a blind item in radio and tabloids but has now spread in blogs.

Abunda's statement: ''Mga kaibigan, nais lamang po nating itama ang isang maling balita. Kasi po may umiikot na malisyoso at bastos na balita na may kinalaman kina Shaina Magdayao at John Lloyd Cruz. The first time I heard about this tsismis... ang involved na ospital po, mga kaibigan, ay isang ospital sa Quezon City hanggang ito ay nalipat sa isang ospital sa Makati. Ito ay may kinalaman sa diumano'y pagdala kay Shaina Magdayao sa isang ospital... Ito po ay walang katotohanan. Ito po'y... this is unfair especially to a girl like Shaina. Hindi po ito totoo, 'wag po kayong maniwala.''

''As a matter of fact, si Shaina po ay busy sa kanyang taping para sa 'Precious Hearts Presents Alynna.' Samantala, si Lloydy naman po ay bising-busy din naman po para kanyang trabaho sa 'Imortal.''

"A girl like Shaina." Does Boy Abunda mean Shaina is too good a girl to engage in sexual relations with her boyfriend? I'm not saying the rumors are true but Boy's defense rings hollow. Insuating that Shaina is a good girl = virgin is akin to saying Boy is anally pure.

Boy's defense about the busyness of Shaina and John Lloyd to catch 5-10 minutes of sex is silly. Are they working 24/7? If you're stressed from work, aren't you more liable to find channels, i.e sex, to relieve the stress.

In other words, nagmamalinis pa si Boy Abunda tungkol kay Shaina. Shaina is no angel. Why doesn't he say categorically that it's impossible for Shaina and John to be brought to the hospital still attached in their nether regions because there has been no case of penis captivus reported in any reputed medical journals ever?

Anyway, personally I believe that this rumor is too good to be true. I don't think either of them has done any major major bad thing to warrant retribution of karmic proportions.

The only people who would jump in glee if this salacious rumor turns out to be true are John Pratts, Ruffa Gutierrez, Anabelle Rama, and maybe probably Sarah Geronimo.

Marian Rivera vs Bela Padilla



Bela Padilla, who plays Yumi in the teleserye Endless Love staring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, is using the oldest trick in the book to catapult her to instant stardom - riding the coattails of someone more famous.

As the story goes, Marian Rivera has been acting like a bitch marking her territory by harassing Bela Padilla on the set of their Endless Love teleserye. The reason is that Bela is getting too close for comfort to Marian's beau Dingdong Dantes in their scenes for Endless Love.

Some of the sweets Marian allegedly reserves only for Bella were: "pangit, "bobo umarte" and "maputi lang."

The incident is not isolated as Marian and gang (that is Nadine Samonte and Jana Dominguez) are also into it, constantly bullying Bela with harsh words.

Allegedly Bela is traumatized and is now too afraid to report on set because of an incident in which Marian locked Bela and herself inside a CR after ordering people inside to go out.

With Marian's face allegedly only inches from Bela's face, Marian uttered, "Ang landi-landi mo! Ang pangit-pangit mo! Kahit kailan, huwag mong iiisipin na mai-insecure ako sa ‘yo! Hindi ka magugustuhan ni Dingdong kasi diring-diri ‘yan kapag may eksena kayo!

I can imagine Marian Rivera saying these exact same words. But is Marian stupid enough or arrogant enough to say these things in front of witnesses? Jury is still out on that one.

May psychology ba si Marian? Insekyora siya to the highest level. If she is confident of Dingdong's love, why the scene?

Marian graduated but never left high school. Fighting with a girl over a boy? C'mon on now. That it so high school. So aside from being an insekyora, cheap pa si Marian.

Marian is just being a true Cavitena - palaban and matapang - in defense of the various negative publicity that she has been involved in in the past. You can only use this defense up to a certain point. As a person goes higher in life - be it social or economic, one has to learn to combine being palaban and matapang with class. In Marian's case, she's nothing but a palengkera and butangera.

Marian is another one of those people with money who can't buy class and breeding. So it seems the girl has left Cavite but Cavite has never left the girl.

Manny Pacquiao Bitch Floyd Mayweather Jr Arresteded on Domestic Violence

Look at that mugshot. Floyd Mayweather has the most punchable face in the universe. Jusk ask Filipino boxing fans.

Floyd Mayweather Jr, who has made every kinds of excuses to avoid a ring fight against our very own Manny Pacquiao, has been arrested due to allegations of attacking and threatening to kill his baby mama. Figures. This trash is too much of a coward to threaten a person of his own gender.

Manny Pacquiao is too decent but you know and I know that he is laughing and saying "buti nga" on the inside.

Karma came way too soon for Floyd Mayweather. It was just a few days ago that he unloaded a series of racist and homophobic rant against Manny Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather is too much of a coward to let his mitts do the talking in a ring. He had to do it in a 10-minute upstream video.

From the uncouth mouth of the cowardly one:

"As soon as we come off vacation, we're going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain't worried about that. So they ain't gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don't want you all to jump on my d---. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that mother f----- make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."

Amidst all these, Manny just had one comment. In a nutshell "wag pansinin ang walang pinag-aralan." I agree. Floyd Mayweather Jr is trash. All those millions can't buy him breeding.

I don't know what his beef is towards Manny considering he's the who refused to fight and considering that Manny is mum on anything Floyd Mayweather-related.

Too bad Floyd Mayweather has been released from Clark County jail in Las Vegas on $3,000 bail.

The Las Vegas Metro Police Department has recommended that Floyd Mayweather Jr. should also be charged with domestic violence, in addition to the grand larceny charge he was initially arrested for on September 10.

A judge also granted a temporary restraining order preventing Floyd from coming near Josie Harris and her children until October 10.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown: Bossy Doc Ferdz Booted Out By Twist


A twist in the old game of Survivor saw the elimination Doc Ferdz Recio from Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown. A twist so early in the game. But then again, I wouldn't call it a twist. It's a completely different contest from the old game of Survivor that millions love to watch.

To have the leader of the tribe decide who gets eliminated and who gets to stay, really? So the tribe leaders, Buwi Meneses, Aira of Sex Bomb and Jon Hall, are completely safe until come merge time, I suppose? That's like wearing an immunity necklace for the first half of the show. And what did the tribe leaders do to deserve it? Winning one immunity game and being voted to be the leader. Didn't take much, did it?

Anyway, I knew Doc Ferdz was the bootee even from the first part of tonight's episode. In his taking heads, Doc Ferdz was clean shaven, not even a day's growth of beards. And although he was wearing the same white sleeveless shirt, it was as clean as an Ariel-laundered white shirt. You can tell the talking heads were done the morning after the elimination. Really sloppy editing jobs, Survivor editors!

Logically, Doc Ferdz should have stayed because in a tribe vs tribe contest you need to have strong members for the reward and immunity challenges. Doc Ferdz is bossy but he is reliable in the challenges. Mykah is weak. Erase the awa factor and Mykah really has no place in a game like Survivor.

Logic aside Doc Ferdz had it coming. There were too many cooks in the kitchen in the Magan tribe. Bossy types go early in the game because they unknowingly piss off the rest of the tribe members. And this is why Doc Ferdz is now comfortably resting in his hotel room. Meanwhile, we get to watch Karen de los Reyes bitch, bitch and bitch some more, Pretty Triszha whine, whine and whine some more, and Michelle Madrigal strut around the island, confident in her place as consort to tribe leader and real-life bf Jon Hall.

Charice in the Second Season of Glee


Charice joined the rest of the cast of the Emmy-award winning TV show Glee for the Season 2 premier party held on September 7 at the Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, California.

Charice was interviewed on the red carpet to talk about her participation in the second season of Glee. I didn't notice if the effects of Vicki Belo's Botox and Thermage have worn off on Charice's face.

What is noticeable is that Charice was talking in a wanna-be American accent. Gurl, you haven't stayed in the states long enough to acquire an accent. That means you're mimicking, which means it's not coming out naturally. Watching Charice make the effort is cringe-worthy. Oh and yeah, Charice was wearing a simple but elegant black dress at the party.

Charice will play Filipina exchange student Sunshine Corazon who will be the rival of one of the show's leads Rachel Berry (Lea Michelle).

The ladies will be staging a singing catfight featuring Beyonce and Lady Gaga's collaboration "Telephone."

Glee will air on ETC cable channel on September 22, a day after the musical TV series airs in the USA.

Gerald Anderson and Kim Chui Break up


Gerald Anderson finally spoke up about rumors that he and his loveteam Kim Chui have broken up in an interview on the Sunday showbiz talk show The Buzz.

That curious sound you’re hearing in the background is the wailing of millions, I mean, global Kimeralds as they finally realize Gerald Anderson is not that into Kim Chui.

So Gerald and Kim's loveteam was only reel. Their relationship was special, but did not even come close to boyfriend-girlfriend.

Gerald and Kim buckled under the great pressure and high expectations of their fans, who are treating them like they are husband and wife living under the same roof already. I can appreciate this given how rabid many of the Kimeralds are. If you are cuckoo enough to threaten evil witchcraftery to anyone who separates Kim and Gerald, you are delusional enough to believe that what you see on a movie or TV program is true.

On the issue that Kim harmed herself when her "special" relationship with Gerald imploded, Gerald says it's not true. But I get the feeling that Kim is much more into Gerald than Gerald is into Kim. Let's leave it at that.

Gerald is keeping the hope alive in the Kimeralds' hearts with the assurance that he and Kim will still share the same space and breathe the same air in future movie and TV projects. Projects are money. Will they both say no to money?

Gerald and Kim may have fooled their dearest Kimeralds with their lovey dovey words and actions, but Gerald is still thankful to them for making sure he has money in the bank, several cars, a big house, big boy toys and other investments.

The interview did not touch the issue of the budding? or is secret romance? between Gerald and Bea Alonzo. Why would ABS-CBN? Walang pera sa relasyon nila.

In the recently held Star Magic Ball, Gerald and Bea arrived separately accompanies by different dates. But come closing time, they quietly sneaked out of the party together. And Kim? she remained at the party with her best girlfriends. Awww....

Diether Ocampo and Mark Herras In Trouble With The Law


Seems business is not their forte, huh?

In Diether Ocampo's case, he and his business partners are being sued by a printing company for failure to pay the balance of the cost of printing the issues of the men's magazine Uno Magazine.

First off, I didn't know there was an Uno magazine. So perhaps lack of readership is the reason why Diether and his publishing company is unable to pay the printing costs? I know one simple Google will tell me if this magazine has unfolded. I'm too lazy and frankly not interested to find out.

Second, Diether claims he is no longer with the publishing company so the plaintiff can settle the case of the postdated checks that didn't get through with his former business partners. Dumbfuck did not know that he can still be charged particularly if he had a hand in the bounced checks?

Mark Herras is being hunted by the Bureau of Internal Revenue for failing to submit the 2008 account books of the Clubserv Bar and Restaurant in which he is a part-owner. Mark probably received the summons from the BIR but didn't know what the fuck are account books, so he chose to ignore it.

Mark said he had nothing to do with the business' books because his participation extends only to the conceptualization of the restaurant.

Dumbuck! The BIR did not pull out your name out of their asses. Your name was listed as company treasurer in the SEC filing. Since you're the treasure, it's a logical assumption to go to you to ask for the account books. Dumfuck!

Yeah, it pays to go to school, Mark.

Claudine Barretto: Devout Born Again Christian and Earth Mother



The end in the Claudine Barretto vs Angelica Panganiban saga is still out of sight, Face to Face with Amy Perez should really think about doing a segment about it. What a historic, not to mention ratings-topping collaborative effort among GMA 7, ABS-CBN and TV5 that would be.

If not for a series of tweets from Claudine Barretto, we wouldn't have known that a fight a-brewing between herself and Angelica. It is also in her tweets that I discovered Claudine got good marks in Christian Living and Right Conduct in school.

Angelica has been called "traydor na kaibigan," "isang daga na tago ng tago," and somebody "[na] baka masunog pag pinag pray over."

Claudine was fuming mad that she fired off 21 tweets within a period of more than 17 hours. That's how mad she was. If tweets were bullets, imagine where Angelica is now.

One of the more nasty twits concerned Aneglica's relationship with Derek. In a nutshell, the twit was something to the effect of "nilalaspag lang si Angelica" and "kung pakakasalan ni Derek si Angelica."

So now the latest is that Angelica's home studio ABS-CBN has assigned two people to guard her body because of threats to her life made by Claudine.

If you're still not convinced that Claudine is such a devout Christian, here's Claudine's honeyed words for Angelica in their phone conversation: "Papatayin kita. Wawasakin ko mukha mo. You don't deserve to live. Suntukan tayo ngayon na."

In the words of Oda Mae Brown (the psychic from Ghost), "Angelica, you in danger, gurl."

Claudine was threatening to sue Angelica but it was Angelica, or Angelica's lawyers, who sent a demand letter to Claudine asking her to desist from speaking untruths about their client and to issue an apology for the libelous and slanderous remarks she made against their client.

Claudine is insane! She has made her Twitter account private. This is after she outdid even Clara making Mara's life miserable. Ye, the horse has left the barn. Insanity!

Blind Item: When Too Much Control Could Spell Trouble


Finally! I have the answer to a tabloid blind item about an incident that is outright embarrassing and potentially fatal for the cast of characters - not to mention one for the books, if actually true.

The blind item was about a celebrity couple who were rushed to a Manila hospital with blankets hiding their identities because the man's penis was still stuck in the girl's lady parts and can't get out.

There's a medical term for it - penis captivus - a relatively rare medical condition in which a woman's vaginal muscles uncontrollably spasm during intercourse, trapping her partner's penis inside her vagina.

Per the tabloid, the female half of the couple apparently overdid her muscle control thingy. The other claim was that the male half took viagra - too ambitious, perhaps, or overcompensating, I don't know.

The tabloid version is too general, bordering on vague, on the identities of the unlucky couple. The male is a good dramatic actor and the female is a young actress.

The radio version gave an initial, JL for the male, and kapatid ng aktres sa Agua Bendita, for the female.

While this blind item is juicy and is one for the ages, saner, more rational minds must prevail.

Google is a wealth of information. Penis captivus is a very rare medical condition. There are case studies reported in reputed medical journals. In actuality, however, its origin started as an elaborate hoax.

But we never know. Stranger things have happened and continue to happen in this country of ours. Also, I'm thinking there's no actual case of penis captivus documented for posterity in medical literature because no couple has ever reported it due to embarassment. Think about it. Do you want to be in the news and in Youtube for all eternity because of a case of penis captivus?

As for our celebrity couple - it may be true what happened to them or they may just the victim of a nasty rumor. Either way, they are the unlucky of the unluckiest.

The Bida In the Claudine vs Angelica War Has Spoken

Cris Castro, the wife of the man who is allegedly Claudine Barretto's partner in acts of homewreckery has spoken and her statement in just a few words is: lie teller is Claudine.

Lie telling #1: Raymart and Claudine on being the special guests in the dinner hosted by the Castro family to celebrate the completion of their renovated garden (a new garden with a birthday celebration, take that!). Wrong. The Santiagos are one of several guests that also included Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban.

Lie telling #2: Angelica's foul mood even before the party started. Wrong. Angelica was quiet, no dabog moments like what Claudine claimed.

Lie telling #3: Angelica badmouthing Claudine and sister Gretchen Barretto at the party - that's when Claudine lost her cool. Wrong. Angelica was quiet and with Derek the whole time, making it impossible for her to say to anyone in the party how Gretchen gifted Derek with expensive things. It was Claudine who was hogging center stage that night.

Mrs Castro's other revelations are basically summed up with: "she's not impressed with Claudine - at all."

Claudine's stalkerish tendency:

Mrs Castro claims Claudine sometimes calls her house 30 days a day.

Now I know Claudine has not career to speak these days, but calling someone's house 30 times a day is too much! Shouldn't Claudine be calling people who can help resurrect her dying career?

Who is spreading the rumor that Claudine is fuck buddies with Mrs Castro's husband, Martin Castro?

According to Mrs Castro, she heard the rumor from Claudine herself. So, Claudine is spreading lies about herself?

Does Mrs Castro believe the rumor?
She doesn't. It's Claudine who can't let go, can't move on.

Mrs Castro reproached Claudine for mentioning her and her husband's names to the press. They treasure their privacy but she did mention in the interview she is not just a plain housewife. She is also a businesswoman with a new business that will soon open - The LifeScience Center for Wellness - at the Fort. Yeah, free publicity.

Is Claudine a very disturbed person? This negative publicity cannot be very good for the "earth mother" image she is trying to cultivate. If she is so desperate to return to her old glory days, she should at least hire a team of publicists to drum up publicities for her. Or is she is so hard up, she can borrow a PR person from Kris Aquino's battery of spin doctors. Kris has managed to get herself included in this mess by throwing her 10 cents in it, courtesy of her advice to Claudine. As if Kris needs another issue to keep herself in the press.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown: Vapid Useless Twat Princess Snell Eliminates Herself



Startruck contestant Princess Snell quit from Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown within the first three days of the competition.

It's good that she quit because she saved her fellow contestants the energy of booting out this vapid useless piece of oxygen-stealer.

Nasilaw sa 3 million pesos - the primary reason why this pathetic bitch joined the contest without thinking of what it would entail.

She quit because she hasn't eaten for two days. Hey, it's not like the other contestants had themselves a buffet and hid it from her.

The contestants were collecting shells for their meal but according to this insipid twat she felt ashamed to be eating the small shells so she did not partake.

What this vacuous bitch failed to say was she felt ashamed partaking of the food she had no hand in collecting. Lazy in addition to being a waste of space and oxygen.

The twat also confessed to being unprepared for camp life considering that she works out two hours a day. No shit, Einstein! An isolated island in Thailand is not Shangri-la Hotel.

Useless reality contestants like Princess Snell are either the first bootee or they go the distance. Not for anything positive they contribute to the show but for making anyone that sits beside them in the finals look good - and therefore a shoo-in for the win.

I Googled this fuck and found she had just had her 18th birthday this year. That's not the interesting part. What made me go hmmmm was she posed for the men's magazine FHM before joining Starstruck.

It's either the vapid twat was not legal when she posed for an adult men's magazine or she took an axe to slice a great portion off her actual age.

If it's not yet obvious in this post, I hate this insipid bitch with the rays of a thousand suns. For a purist Survivor fan like me it incites a great deal of hate to see contestants on my TV just because they're pretty when there are other contestants who could have been more interesting to watch.

At Ang Kati Ay Nagsimula Na


Kris Aquino and Makati Mayour Jun Jun Binay were sighted on August 30 shopping at Glorietta 4 in Makati.

In the phone video was taken by a paparazzo for TweetBiz, Kris and Major JunJun were in the company of Kris' sons Joshua and Baby James and Mayor JunJun's maid carrying several shopping bags.

The highlight of this sighting? When Baby James asked his mother dearest, "Is he your boyfriend?" The child was obviously referring to the mayor, not one of the males he saw passed by their group.

Kris was deadma at first but when the son asked the same question again, mother dearest said "hindi ko siya boyfriend."

With this outing with JunJun Binay, seems Kris is not at all bothered that she is coming out as the villainess in the Kris-James marriage mess. It also appears that the itch has started - not from the STD that Kris allegedly got from Joey Marquez - duh!

Joshua, son of Kris by Philip Salvador, was also in the video. Can't we free Joshua from Kris and give him to President Noynoy for adoption. Joshua is the innocent child in all of these mess, he deserves hugs and kisses.

And Kris and her battalion of publicists will spin this as nothing more than a shopping outing between two besties. Watch!

Chaka vs Chaka


Standup comic Chokoleit said it, not me, about his feud with showbiz reporter/host Cristy Fermin.

Cristy lost her shit after finding out that Chokoleit, via Twitter, was cussing her and calling her out on the regular blind items featuring him and his besties Pokwang.

For daring to play, and beating, Cristy at her own own game, Chokoleit will be seeing her in court.

Cristy wrote in her tabloid column that Pokwang owes her for the paintings that Pokwang purchased from her art gallery. According to Chokoleit's twit, it is Cristy who owes Pokwang.

Hmmm.. who to believe? Based on NBI records, I'd believe Chokoleit. With all her libel and estafa cases, Cristy should be writing for the Women's Correctional gazette, not gracing local showbiz programs with her venom and vitriol.

I am surprised Cristy is suing Chokoleit for libel and unjust vexation. I would think that a reporter like Cristy who writes mostly garbage and untruths is thick-skinned and a true believer of freedom of expression.

Panlalait-pagmumura-paninirang puri - that's the whole basis of Cristy's suit against Chokoleit.

The basic tone of Cristy's showbiz column is panlalait-paninirang puri.

Kettle meet pot. I see you too have not been introduced.

Cebuanos Hate Gloria Diaz



Ms Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz is getting flak from Cebuanos because of her comments about the use of an interpreter during beauty pageants.

When Gloria Diaz said "Kasi, when you think about a Cebuana can hardly speak English and, of course, Tagalog, maybe she should answer in Bisaya," Cebuanos went up in arms and immediately thought of ways to get back at Gloria Diaz.

Cebu City Rep Cutie del Mar spent her precious privilege speech to denounce Gloria Diaz and her statement, calling it an insult, and demand a public apology.

Not to be outdone, the Vice Mayors League of the Philippines-Cebu has issued a resolution declaring Gloria Diaz "persona non grata" in Cebu.

In the words of Angelica Jones: "over OA."

In this country, being called "bobo sa English" is one of the greatest insult that you can say against a person.

Isang malaking kamalian na isipan na hindi matalino ang isang Pilipino hindi marunong magsalita at umunawa ng Ingles.

Isang kapalaluan ang isipin na porke marunong kang mag-ingles class ka na.

Kaya Cutie del Mar tama na ang pagpapa cute sa Kongreso, get to work. And to the vice mayors, marami sa distrito nyo ang naghihirap, tulungan nyo kung paano mangisda.

Goodness, all these outrage over a freaking beauty contest!

Claudine Barretto vs Angelica Panganiban Is Heating Up


Ready your popcorn, sit back and relax because the catfight between Claudine Barretto and Angelica Panganiban that started on Twitter has all indications of going all the way to court.

Angelica allegedly made in known to anyone who wants to listen that Claudine committed an act of homewreakery is with Martin Castro, the best friend of Derek Ramsay and a new friend of Claudine's husband Raymart Santiago.

Angelica is also on Claudine's hit list because Angelica apparently has many things so say about Gretchen Barretto, not all of them flattering - well before they became besties.

Claudine's proof of Angelica's backstabbing ways:

"Kinonfirm na ng apat na tao ito sa akin," [tungkol sa pagkakalat diumano ni Angelica ng kuwentong ang nakatatandang aktres ay may affair sa kaibigan ni Derek]

Angelica on what she really thinks of Claudine and Gretchen:

Ikinagalit din daw ni Claudine ang maanghang na pasaring ni Angelica laban sa kanyang kapatid na si Gretchen sa Twitter. Nakarating din daw kay Claudine na sinabi ni Angelica sa ilang mutual friends na, "Pareho lang daw kaming magkapatid. Kulang na lang sabihin niyang "kabit."

Kabit is Gretchen Barretto, so is Claudine, if she is indeed fuck buddies with Derek Ramsay's married besties.

Angelica was cold on Claudine's attempts to talk it out with her. I really think Claudine should have suggested that she and Angelica have it out via Twitter since Angelica seemed to have a strong affinity to this form of communication.

The cast of characters in this drama is growing - there's Angelica's boyfriend Derek Ramsay, Claudine's husband Raymart Santiago, the center of it all, a certain Martin Castro, Johnny Manahan of Star Magic, and Gretchen Barretto.

Johnny Manahan on the former ward's plan to sue his current ward:


"Go Ahead! Sue, Claudine. Make our Day! Para bellum."

Johnny Manahan on Angelica's silence on his catfight with Claudine:


"The only reason Angelica has not come out to defend herself against Claudine's accusations is because what she has to say would be so compelling and devastating to Claudine's career. That is why she has chosen the path of silence. Angelica still has compassion for Claudine and rejects all the falsehoods attributed to her."

Gretchen Barretto on Claudine's claims: "ako ang laging naglilinis ng kalat ng kapatid mo."

"No, no, no...that's not true! Walang ganyang kuwento na ipinagtatanggol ako... Yung away ni Angelica Panganiban and Claudine, wala akong kinalaman sa away na yon at all - walang kinalaman."

Gretchen on the war between her sister and her new besties:

"Claudine is obviously going through a tough time - in all aspects of her life. I pray that I have more patience and a little more love for her. Pilitin na lang nating intindihin. Although, it's hurtful. I cannot deny that her words are very hurtful, but as a sister I still choose to understand and I still choose to bear the hurt."

What Gretchen is really saying is aburido si Claudine these days because from one of the country's leading ladies to a teleserye queen with a flop teleserye. Bitter Ocampo si Claudine because her ate Gretchen's teleserye is a top-rater while she is mother role material.

Well, this catfight is far from over. Let's let them fight it out in court para magkaalamanan na kung kabit si Claudine o hinde. Yun lang naman ang dapat abangan dun.

Did Mariel Rodriguez and Robin Padilla Get Married in India?


Well, well well, seems like Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez did more than eat curry in India.

Upon arrival in India with Mariel, Robin said "As I promise, I came back with my wife."

If this is true I'm glad they've made it official because maybe now the kachipangahang kasweetan would tone down a bit on Pilipinas Win na Win - I mean, if they come back.

Mariel is on an indefinite leave while Robin has taken a leave of absence to observe the Muslim's month of Ramadan.

Rumors have it that the leave of absences all points to Kris Aquino as the factor. Well, Kris Aquino with a mic is that Chinese kid behind me on the way to Ocean Park in Hong Kong - non-stop talking. Can we blame Robin and Mariel from wanting to get as far away from Kris Aquino and Pilipinas Win na Win?

On the bright side, we don't have to watch Mariel and Robin make the Pilipinas Win na Win show their own personal Luneta. It's no wonder the ratings are tanking. Televiewers and studio audiences want to win prizes, not watch lovers coo at each other. Ano mapapala nila dun, deva?

I am not giving this Mariel-Robin marriage the happily-ever-after seal of approval since Robin will eventually begin looking for other fishes in the sea again and Mariel will soon realize "bad boy" is romantic in theory but a turn off in real life. Life can't be a fairy forever.

Striking a Pose Infront of Bullet-riddled Manila Bus Really?



What's happening?! I don't dislike Bong Revilla for once. Great tragedy does that to a person, I guess.

The bullet-riddled tourist bus where eight Hong Kong citizens lost their lives has become a background scene for Facebook profiles. Bong Revilla asked Director Leocadio Santiago of the National Capital Region Police Office to have the bus moved out of Rizal Park in Manila. For once, I commend Jolo Revilla's dad.

Some people talaga seemed to have no sensitivity chip in them. Souvenir shots of our kababayan posing in front of the bullet-riddled tourist bus in Luneta Park are all over various social networking sites. Ano yun feeling "I was there?" MGA WALANG PAKIRAMDAM.

The world is weeping and you are taking pictures of a tragic scene?

I am posting these "souvenir" photos to shame these people into renouncing their Filipino citizenships.



Sibakin ang mga pulis na ito. SOCO pa man din.



Teh, ang lipstick clashing sa background.



Masaya pa kayo? Ano, picnic sa Luneta pagkatapos?

Poor Regine Velasquez


Since the attempted kidnapping of Sarah Geronimo's dad, Delfin, seemed to be not an isolated incident due to the presence of many presents for celebrities found in the suspect's car, celebrities were asked their comment on the incident.

Regine Velasquez requested would-be kidnappers of stars and celebrities to please not do it because according to her "...mahirap lang kami..kaya kami nagta trabaho..."

Bitch, STOP! Regine gifted her fiance, Ogie Alcasid, with a Black BMW Series 7 worth upwards of P3 M. She gave her Diva co-star Glaiza a Louis Vitton bag. An LV bag is not a Secosana bag.

Kung mahirap si Regine Velasquez, ano na lang ako? alipin namamahay, alipin saguiguilid or just plain PAYAK?

Regine is probably keeping it quiet lest she catches the eye the BIR - again. You and I know that celebrities cannot hide from BIR Commissioner Kim Henares, na masarap lagyan ng lipstick ang labi.

Okay, since I think Regine is so happy these days she doesn't always know some of the caca coming out of her mouth. Why wouldn't she be happy. After Bing Loyzaga and Gelli de Belen, Regine has finally found a non-confrontational and very supportive ex in Michelle van Eimeren.

Still A Major Major Win Despite A Fourth Place Win


Ms Philippines Maria Venus Raj placed fourth runner up in the 2010 Miss Universe in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With 83 contestants from around the world competing that was not a bad finished. And considering it has been years since our bet even made it into the top 15.

A lot of people were saying Venus was a favorite to win the crown but what did her in was her answer during the Q&A portion.

The question from judge William Baldwin was, "What is one big mistake that you've made in your life and what did you do to make it right?"

Habang nag-iisip ng magandang isasagot si Venus, sabi nya sa judges, "Thank you so much, Sir for that wonderful question."

Venus' answer was, "You know what, Sir in my 22 years of existence I can say that there is nothing major major, I mean, problem that I have done in my life. Because I am very confident with my family, with the love that they are giving to me. So, thank you so much that I am here, thank you thank you so much."

I don't want to rag on Venus about her answer anymore since it would sound lame following the tragic ending to the Quirino Grandstand hostage-taking on August 23.

Let's just enjoy the support Venus has been getting and continues to get from her fans, especially these Glittery Gays of Youtube.

Guess Who's Pregnant?


She broke off with her married man, got over that man by getting under a new man, got engaged, got married and now Krista Ranillo is pregnant. All these happened in a span of two months.

Krista revealed she's a soon-to-be mother but was quick to add that she and her now-husband got married not because she's pregnant but because they love each other. Um, yeah okay.

Krista has so many revelations like this is the second time she and her ATM (legal name: Jefferson Nino Lim) got married. The first time was without witnesses on July 14 and they had a reception at some burger place.

But what made my left brow go up was the revelation that Krista and her ATM machine were childhood sweethearts. I don't know. Judging by the picture, the ATM machine was old enough to baby sit Krista as a toddler. Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that you have to be of the same age or same age group to be considered childhood friends or childhood sweethearts.

Okay enough of the nitpicking. I want to know how far along Krista is on her pregnancy. Suspicious minds want to know. She didn't say in her interview. An investigative journalist should have carried out the interview. I want details, details, details .. those that can incriminate..

Forward to the next few months. I wonder who the baby would favor? Could it pass for Jinkee's fifth child or would the baby have premature baldness? You know, important stuffs....

At The End of the Day Watch



This is the 4,718, 683th and 4,718,684th mention of the annoying phrase "at the end of the day" from a celebrity when pressed for a comment about something that you think is so "life-or-death important" but it's not.

It comes across like the person is put upon about something going on in their personal or public lives but they're so noble for putting up with it. Yeah, get off that cross already!


Chesca Litton

"In a way, I guess," sagot ng TV host. "Because hindi maiiwasan ang mga speculations. Hindi maiiwasan na mag-a-assume ang mga tao, siyempre. Posibleng gagawa ng mga theories, yung mga gano'n. Pero at the end of the day whatever goes on, once again, I've said it once, I'll say it again, as long as I'm living a life that's pleasing to God, nothing else should matter. Because I know that, once you put God first, everything else will follow."

Claudine Barretto

"Kung naging stiff man kami ni Heart, siguro mas kailangang mas prim and proper lang kami. Dito [GMA-7], iba, you cannot compare talaga. Mas open na ako ngayon kumpara sa dati. Because nagagawa ko yung gusto ko and at the same time, yung itinuro nilang [ABS-CBN] professionalism, nagagamit ko dito. And I can be myself. At the end of the day, I can be myself."

Robin Padilla Is Father of the Year

Liezl Sicangco, ex-wife of Robin Padilla, has made it into the Padilla clan's enemy hit list with her revelations of Robin's father-of-the-year worthy style of child rearing.

Liezl came out of hibernation in Australia's Gold Coast to whine about Robin's shortcomings.

On her 10-year-old son Ali who is currently living with his Dad:

"Matagal ko na siyang gustong kunin talaga. Four months ago, nagkasakit yan, e. Naoperahan, apendicitis. Kasi si Ali, hindi nagsasabi na masakit na pala tiyan niya. Kasi ang turo sa kanya ng papa niya “Bawal umiyak, you have to be strong, you have to feel the pain.” Tama ba yon?"

On Robin's words of wisdom to a 10-year-old who is supposed to be playing Wii or watching cartoons on Disney Channel:

"Si Ali kasi mismo ang nagkuwento sa akin na, “Papa said I can have four wives when I grow up...” Ten years old, sinasabihan nang ganoon!"

On how Robin feels about school, as in education:

"Actually, ang nag-ano talaga ng galit ko, noong nag Pilipinas Win na Win siya. Nakikita ko lagi sa YouTube ang anak ko na nasa TV and almost two weeks hindi nag-aaral ang bata! E, si Robin, nakikinig yan sa ten-year old. Pag sinabi ni Ali na “I don’t want to go to school,” sasabihin niyan, “Then don’t go! Si enjoy life yan, e.

Her feelings on Mariel Rodriguez, Robin's girlfriend:

"Ako, walang kaso sa akin kung sila. Noon ko pa alam na sila. Hindi ako galit kay Mariel. Kaya ko siyang kausapin any time. The problem is between me and Robin. Nagkataon lang talaga na nakapag-air ako ng side ko, habang pinag-uusapan sila ni Mariel diyan. Kaya ang dating siguro diyan, bitter daw ako. God knows, hindi ako bitter."

Robin's response to Liezl's revelations:

"Siguro. Hindi niya nga ako kinakausap. Pero alam ko galit yon. Hindi niya sinasagot ang mga texts ko. Basta may nagte-text sa akin nang kung anu-ano...feeling ko siya din yon."

Team Sicangco all the way. I'm not sure if Liezl's claims are valid. I really don't care to find out. Robin strikes me as a major closeted mysogynist pig, so for that alone I am for whoever is on the other side of Team Robin.

Female Castaways:

Michelle Madrigal - Banak in Dyesbel
Aubrey Miles - sexy actress at hot mama
Solenn Heussaff - socialite at model

Doc Ferds Recio - celebrity veterinarian at Born To Be Wild host

Ervic Vijandre - athlete at model (ex-boyfriend of Marian Rivera)
Pretty Trisha - comedian

A bunch of has-beens, never-was and wannabes, with the exemption of Elma Muros and Doc Ferds.

If this season is as contrived for drama as the previous season, I'm going to bail in the middle of it. I was blogging and suddenly I lost interest because that season definitely jumped the shark.

I hope this celebrity season is more natural - let the drama and the story line unfold on its own.

For what it's worth, my early faves are Elma Muros (props to her sports accomplishments), Doc Ferds (his passion for the environment is hot) and Mykah.

Of course, my favorites never win.

Manny Pacquiao To Train at Batasang Pambansa

Sometimes I wish Manny Pacquiao would lose a boxing match, and this is one of those times.

Manny proposed using the Batasan complex to train for his boxing match with Antonio Margarito in order to allow him to fulfill his duties as Sarangi representative at the same time.

What in the name of arrogance is Manny thinking? Manny thinks he can serve to masters at the same time by time management. His solution is as simple as a simpleton. I hope he loses, either his match or his seat in the house, as simple as that.

House speaker Sonny Belmonte scuttled Manny's idea immediately, saying the spectacle of Manny jogging and training around the Batasan complex would be a distraction both to his colleagues and employees of the House of Representatives. Indeed!

Let's wait what Freddie Roach has to say about it.

Charice on Seventeen Magazine

Thank God evil cosmetic surgeon to the stars did not succeed! Charice is still on Glee following that cosmetic surgery brouhaha last month.

The online edition of US entertainment magazine Seventeen Magazine interviewed Charice on how she got the Glee gig, what she sang during the audition, and more.

Willie Revillame Quits ABS-CBN

Willie Revillame finally surfaced following months to laying low to announce in a press conference that he is rescinding his contract with ABS-CBN.

Before the people at the presscon could find out if there's an envelope with their name on it from Willie, ABS-CBN came back with "Willie will remain our bitch til his contract ends on September 2011."

Both Willie and ABS-CBN claim to be the aggrieved party in their agreement, so who is entitled to legally say "I quit you?" I guess we'll see the warring parties in court.

So basically, Willie revealed that he and one of the head bitches at ABS-CBN talked and agreed that Willie will be back on Wowowee on July 31.

But another head bitch who is higher on the totem pole blocked Willie's return, so came Pilipinas Win na Win and Kris Aquino's return to television. It was rumored that Willie wanted this head bitch gone from the network. So in the end, it all boiled down to Willie or the head bitch. Guess we know now who is more powerful.

Willie was offered a one-hour weekly show. Willie did not object to having another TV show, I don't think. What he didn't like was that it was pre-taped. Yes, pre-taped. If you ask me, pre-recording Willie hosting a show is an effective way of stopping the flow of caca coming out of his mouth when he is displeased about something.

The new Wowowee would have boasted new games, more prices like a house and lot, and minus Mariel Rodriguez, Valerie Concepcion and Cristy Fermin's newest target of tirade, Pokwang.

I think the new Wowowee would have been doomed from the start because the old problem at the old Wowowee would still there - Willie Revillame. Sooner or later Willie's arrogance will shine through. He can't help himself.

That Was Fast

It was only in June 2010 that Krista Ranillo announced that has acquired a new ATM machine but only two months later she made it legal.

Krista Ranillo married her rich and eligible ATM machine (legal name: Nino Jefferson Lim) in Long Beach, California in an intimate Jewish-interfaith wedding on August 8.

It was the second marriage for the groom but it doesn't matter because he or his family owns the Long Island chain of supermarkets in California.

Krista's father, Matt Ranillo, walked her daughter down the aisle beaming, and if we can read the bubble above his head it would say "good job, daughter."

One of the guests observed that Krista never looked happier. I disagree. Jinky Pacquiao never looked happier.

A rabbi, Barry Tuchman, officiated the Jewish-interfaith wedding.

Imagine This

Somewhere in Turkey, a groom accidentally killed three relatives at his wedding when he fired into the air with an assault rifle in celebration.

Eight other people were wounded at the incident at the village of Akcagoze in the South Eastern province of Gaziantep.

The groom lost control of an AK-47 rifle and accidentally raked the guests with bullets.

His father and two of his aunts died in hospital.

Suffice to say, the groom is not enjoying his honeymoon.

Turks are notorious for breaking out into gunshots to celebrate weddings and sports victories, a practice that has caused many deaths and which authorities have so far failed to curb.

I automatically think of Ylmaz Bektas when I hear "Turkey" mentioned. It's really a testament to how far I've come that I don't associate turkey with poultry anymore. :p

Anyway, imagine the Turkish wedding of Ylmaz Bektas and Ruffa Gutierrez. Ylmaz, so proud that he's snared the heart of a Ms World Second Princess and a toast of Brunei, suddenly fired shots into the air out of shear joy.

Imagine, Ylmaz suddenly losing control of the gun.

Imagine, Anabelle Rama as one of the guests closest to the action.

The outcome of that fantasy depends on whether you're a fan or just a jeluz h8tr.

Yup, I'm on that bus going to hell.

Someone Hates Sarah Geronimo's Dad

And I am not surprise, why? Not that I am condoning violence.

The father of popular singer and actress Sarah Geronimo was assaulted inside the parking area of the ABS-CBN network’s ELJ Building, in Quezon City, at around noon on Sunday (August 8).

Geronimo's father Delfin, 55, was shaken by the attack at 12:50 p.m. but he got away without injuries.

A suspect in the attack, Paulino Mercado, 43, has been arrested and placed in police custody. The suspect who claimed he had a gift from a beauty product company was waiting for the actress' father at the parking area.

The suspect used a stun gun on Geronimo’s father who was able to escape from the suspect and seek help from the security guard who arrested Mercado.

Police are investigating the motive of the assault.

A few months back, Sarah Geronimo's father made showbiz news when he was alleged to have confronted, complete with hand gestures ( I didn't know Sarah's father is Italian), in the hallways of ABS-CBN.

It was alleged that the father told Rayver, in a not-so-polite way
, to "Leave Sarah alone!" or words to that effect.

As a result, Sarah lost a potential beau and Cristine Reyes gained one.

I'm not saying Rayver has anything to do with the assault. I'm saying a check on the family of trees of Rayver and the suspect could not possibly hurt.

Charlie Davao Has Passed


It was just in the news yesterday evening that friends and colleagues held a reunion of sorts for Charlie Davao. According to son Ricky Davao, his dad has colon cancer and that they don't know what stage. Now this.
