KC Concepcion Confirms Split with Piolo Pascual

The KC Concepcion/Piolo Pascual romance is no more according to KC herself.

KC Concepcion confirmed what a lot of people already know: she and Piolo Pascual have broken up. This is not the usual breakup of a popular celebrity couple because everybody wants to know whether real reason behind the breakup is because Piolo Pascual is GAY.

KC's interview with Boy Abunda on The Buzz is the vaguest you can imagine. But since most of us are good at reading between the lines, putting two and two together, we know WHY the relationship broke up.

For the unfortunate few fans who are still under the illusion that Piolo Pascual is straight and he will marry you someday, here's my straight-to-the-point translation of what KC Concepcion wanted to say but can't.

KC: "May mga hinahanap ako na basic lang na hahanapin ng isang babae sa isang boyfriend, sa isang lalaki.

WHAT KC REALLY MEANS: "Gusto ko ng romance, hug, kiss or sex kaya. Kaso I don't have the right sexual organ."

KC: "Kahit may mga times na hindi ko siya maintindihan, tinanggap ko kasi sinasabi sa akin ng mga kaibigan namin na personality niya yun.

WHAT KC REALLY MEANS: "Nagfa face powder si Piolo, nagli-lipstick pa. Nakikipag-agawan pa siya sa akin minsan. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit pero sabi ng mga friends naming ganun talaga ang hilig ng bakla."

KC: "May mga bagay na hindi ko na kayang lunukin, hindi ko na kaya yun tanggapin..."

WHAT KC REALLY MEANS: "okay lang na nagme make-up siya, pero nahuli ko siya sa kama nakatalukbong ng kumot na may katabi. Hindi ko na kinaya kasi akala ko babae, yun pala lalaki."

KC: "Ayoko pong sagutin, Tito Boy [kung may third party involved]."

WHAT KC REALLY MEANS: Please refer to my previous statement.

KC: "Ewan ko kung bakit, paanong nangyari yung pain, at saka yung sama ng loob naging galit. Na talagang nagugulat din ako kasi first time ko rin na parang napapamura na rin ako. Hindi naman ako ganon, and bigla na lang akong maiiyak kasi hindi pala ako okay. "And then siya [Piolo], natatawa lang siya kapag nakikita kong ini-interview siya, idadaan lang niya sa joke."

WHAT KC REALLY MEANS: "Piolo is not just into me."

KC: "Tito Boy, naniniwala naman ako na pag sinasabi ni PJ na minahal niya ako, naniniwala naman ako na meron namang katotohanan iyon. Pero, masakit man sabihin, hindi ako yung, siguro nag-fail din ako dahil hindi ako yung kailangan niya sa buhay niya. Or, hindi ako yung hinahanap niya sa buhay niya. And hindi...hindi ko mabigay sa kanya yung kailangan niya.

WHAT KC REALLY MEANS: "Tito Boy, hindi ako ang kailangan ni Piolo dahil ang kailangan nya ay LALAKI. Hindi ko maibigay ang kailangan nya dahil ang preference nya ay etits, hindi keps."

KC: [On her one wish] "Na makahanap talaga ako ng true love!"

WHAT KC REALLY MEANS: "Na makahanap talaga ako ng tunay na LALAKI!"

If that doesn't convince you, then watch Sharon Cuneta give a laugh, a non-laugh as in not amused, when asked by Cristy Fermin on Paparazzi if the split between her daughter KC and Piolo Pascual is because Piolo is gay.

Piolo Pascual Comes Out... Finally!

That he and KC Concepcion are in a relationship since Oct 2010.

I was excepting a different kind of coming out but the Piolo's news that he is in a relationship - and a heterosexual one at that - is enough to force me out of blogging hibernation.

Papa P only came out because he wants to let men out there know that KC is taken. Well, kinda like a dog marking his territory. Yup, don't ask - don't even dream of asking KC out. I'm looking at you apl.de.ap.

With Papa P coming out comes the reigniting of the whispers of "Isn't he gay?" Those whispers never did die down, but yeah okay. Only Cristy Fermin, KC and Sharon Cuneta believe Piolo is straight but let's all give the rumors a rest, shall we? Let's leave the guy alone. Maybe he's bi? Or maybe he just likes the idea of being straight, but in practice he's really trying hard not to let that pinky fly.

Piolo is just trying to find the other half of his soul, the person who will complete him (yeah, I've been reading too much Harlequin). Has Piolo found her or is he still looking at the wrong gender? Only time will tell.

Piolo Pascual The Next Mother Lily Monteverde?

No, Piolo Pascual is not getting gender re-assignment surgery. Ano ba?! Piolo plans to produce different types of movies like Mother Lily.

Piolo co-produced the indie film "Manila," which was screened at the recent Cannes Films Festival. The film was directed by Adolf Alix and Raya Martin. The movie is currently an entrant in the Moscow International Film Festival and has received eight invitations from various international film festivals.

According to Papa P "Para sa akin, secondary na lang ang kumita, kasi nakuha na namin kung ano ang gusto naming mangyari. Malaking blessing na yung sa Cannes. Gusto ko sanang sumama sa Moscow, kaya lang nagkakapatung-patong na ang commitments ko dito. Depende na rin sa schedule ko kung makakasama ako sa pagsali ng pelikula sa ibang festivals."

Piolo is also producing the launching movie of the greatest comedianne ever Eugene Domingo, Kimmy Dora (Kambal sa Kiyeme). Eugene will have Dingdong Dantes as leading man.

Sabi ni Piolo, "Honestly, hindi ko alam kung magkano ang ibinayad kay Dong para sa movie. Hindi ako ang nakipag-usap para doon. Pero marami akong natututunan. Hindi biro ang mag-produce. Pero ipinapaliwanag namang mabuti sa akin ni Bb. Joyce Bernal [direktor ng Kimmy Dora] ang lahat ng kailangan kong malaman."

As of now, Piolo has no plans to get the key and opened that closet to direct a movie. For now, he's happy just being an actor and a sometime producer.

As for Papa P's lovelife, he asked permission from KC Concepcion to court her. KC said she will text him of her answer. Piolo and KC are doing a teleserye together "Lovers in Paris."

"Yun ang iniingatan ko, yung masyadong magamit ang anggulo dahil may ipo-promote na teleserye. Ayokong lumabas na ganoon. Sana maintindihan ako ng press. Kapag nagsalita ako nang nagsalita about KC, lalabas talagang ginagamit ko siya, which I don't like, kahit may team-up project pa kami. Kaya hanggang ganoon lang ang pupuwede kong sabihin."


Lovers in Paris also stars Maricar Reyes, the other accidental porn star of the Hayden Kho collection of sex videos. According to Piolo, Maricar is pretty and mabait.

Piolo will also be appearing in a special role in Nasaan Ka, Maruja?, which stars Kristine Hermosa and Derek Ramsay.

Marian Rivera's Makes The Cover of Yes! Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful Stars

Upcoming Darna lead star Marian Rivera bags this year's distinction as the cover of YES! magazine's 100 Most Beautiful Stars. Last year's honor belonged to KC Concepcion, who made it to the special issue's "Princesses of the Cinema" category this year.

The 24-year-old actress - whose ascend to young superstar status in barely three years is nothing short of phenomenal - personally attended the launching of the magazine, where she herself unveiled the cover for all the guests to see.

The cover shows the Kapuso Network's current darling clad in a teasing strapless bustier mini-dress created by Arleen Sipat for Salsatrends.

"Marian Rivera is a star because she occupies that rare space between aspiration and accessibility," the accompanying article took note.

Aside from the cover girl, the launching was also graced by other celebrities who likewise entered the list, namely Paolo Contis, Donita Rose, Maxine Eigenmann, and Kevin Santos.

Released annually by the country's top entertainment magazine, the 100 Most Beautiful Stars special issue aims to pay tribute to the country's "most good-looking in the land" in the field of show business.

"As lists go, there is no one lineup that will satisfy everybody. Beauty is a matter of taste. It is also, in our case, a matter of category and currency," editor-in-chief Jo-Ann Maglipon wrote.

While physical attributes combined with eye-candy allure undoubtedly played as the most telling ingredients in determining the names to be included in the final list, the YES! staff also puts utmost consideration on an individual's character, achievements both on and off the camera, and potential as important factors as determined by each and every category.

Some of the names and their corresponding category include Kim Chiu, Rhian Ramos, Bea Alonzo ("Primetime Ladies"); Piolo Pascual, Dingdong Dantes, and John Lloyd Cruz ("Leading Men"); Sarah Geronimo ("Princesses of the Cinema"); Gerald Anderson ("The New Prince"); Shaina Magdayao, Maja Salvador, and Kris Bernal ("Not Your Average Girls"); Geoff Eigenmann and Aljur Abrenica ("Boys Next Door"); Sam Milby, Anne Curtis, Jake Cuenca, Cristine Reyes, and Diether Ocampo ("Hunks and Babes"); Gary Valenciano and Ogie Alcasid ("Multi-Talented"); Iza Calzado, Jolina Magdangal, Regine Velasquez, Sharon Cuneta, Maricel Soriano, Dawn Zulueta, Lorna Tolentino, and Vilma Santos ("Beautiful At Any Age"); Zaijan Jaramilla of May Bukas Pa fame ("The Adorables").

Jericho Rosales, on the other hand, leads the charge in the "Glam Dads" bracket along with Dennis Trillo and Mark Anthony Fernandez; while the mother-and-daughter tandem of Jean and Jennica Garcia banner the "Passing the Torch" category. Newly weds Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo topbill the "Couples" group, which also includes Angel Locsin and Luis Manzano and Angelica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay.

The issue also cites "The Venerables" Eddie Garcia and Gloria Romero "...as they continue to demonstrate that age is no hindrance when you have passion for what you do."

Rosalinda star Carla Abellana is part of "The Faces To Watch."

Juday-Ryan Secret Wedding Is Wedding of the Year

The secret wedding turned out to be the much-talked about wedding of the year. Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo were able to pull off their wedding last April 28 in a small church in San Juan, Batangas without the entire Philippines knowing. Details of the wedding were hush-hush because the couple wanted their special day to be solemn and attended only by close friends and family.

Okay, I must admit they look so happy together. I hate them. :P

Individually, I am meh about Judy Ann and Ryan Agoncillo. But together, they are one of the few real and reel couples who make me kilig. It was un-"famewhorish" of them to be tight-lipped about their wedding plans, so I though "good for them." Considering that local TV networks try to outbid each other to get the exclusive wedding coverage of celebrities and non-celebrities alike (hello Ina Revilla and whatshisface), what Judy Ann and Ryan accomplished was no mean feat.

But then, I spoke too soon because immediately the following day they are all over my TV explaining why they could not invite all the press, the fans, as well as the employees and executives of Meralco. You made the wedding a secret deliberately, so own it! I don't get the apology simply because, as heartless as it may sound, all those who are not invited are just extras. They will not make your special day more special because the people who matter are in attendance already. Sorry fans, but you have to see the wedding second-hand.

If I were a celebrity, my wedding would be a closed-door affair. Let's face it. There are fans who are ignorante. As soon as they see a celebrity they will start screaming, take photos or videos. We've seen those fans sa lamay ni Fernando Poe, Jr and the wedding of Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion. So, NO! The fans are out. Panoorin nyo na lang sa TV or bili ng magazine para makita ang photos.

The media blitz following the Juday Ann-Ryan wedding included all sorts of interviews with the newly weds. I've watched and heard several of those and all I can say is there is no concept of "TMI" and "none of your business" whatsoever. The couple was asked if something happened during their first night. I was like "ugh! taaaacky!" Who asks that kind of question?! More importantly who gamely answers that kind of question?

There were several wedding receptions where the not-invited can attend. Papa Piolo Pascual was invited to one of receptions. Good for him for not attending because it was probably a meaningless invitation. Like "it's good if you attend. It's also good if you don't. No skin off my nose" kinda thing. In short pakitang tao na invitation. Okay, I'm probably giving too much credit to Papa Piolo in the self-awareness department, but that's how I read the situation.

Papa Piolo can turn the tables on them when it's time for him to get married. In an interview, Papa Piolo said he's not yet getting married because he's still saving money. So until then, we need to have our Congress pass the birth control law, the divorce law and same-sex marriage law.
