Snooky Serna Is Out of the Indie Film Dukot

Snooky Serna is still living up to the tag "Pagong." The actress of booted out of the movie Dukot, starring Iza Calzado and Allen Dizon, by the movie's director Joel Lamangan after Snooky showed up more than two hours later for a major and big scene at Liwasang Bonifacio.

What irked Direct Joel was Snooky's failure to apologize to the senior stars who braved the crowd and the heat of the sun to shoot the scene. It was Snooky's boyfriend who talked to the director because Snooky refused to get out of her car. All would have been forgotten if Snooky had just apologized

During lunch time, Snooky breezed in without warning to talk to Direct Joel. The actress blamed the movie's executive producer for her being late. This was the straw that broke the camel's back as Direct Joel let Snooky have it. Finally, pinaalis at sinibak ng direktor si Snooky at sinabi pa na hindi na nito gagawin ang Sagrada Familia, which would have starred Snooky Serna.

A leopard cannot change its spots. That's what Snooky Serna is. Remember the story of Snooky getting upset at Gina Alajar during the story con for the same movie? Snooky took exception to Gina's reminder not to be late in their shooting.

Can a network do a reality show revolving around a day in the life of Snooky Serna. A lot of people must be curious why Snooky is constantly late. This has been Snooky's trademark when before she became cuckoo and then suddenly recovered when she met a rich man. I'm pretty sure the definition of the word "tardy" has Snooky's picture beside it.

Why does Snooky still insists on pretending to be an actress. She doesn't suit a career that demands professionalism. Now that she's a rich man's girlfriend, she should probably concentrate on that. She's more suited to the life of a kept woman whose life revolves around sleeping late, eating, shopping, parties, then repeat the same things the following day.

Update: Rochelle Barrameda Identifies Remains of Sister Ruby Rose

On Jun 10, the two-year search for Rochelle Barrameda's sister Ruby Rose ended when her remains were recovered inside a drum sealed inside a cemented steel case at the Navotas Fish Port.

Rochelle had confirmed that the remains were her sister’s, based on the earrings and the clothes recovered. Superintendent Elma Galero of the National Police’s Crime Laboratory affirmed Rochelle’s statement and said the victim’s dental records matched Ruby Rose’s.

Authorities were able to locate the steel case through a tip from an informant, Rochelle said in Thursday’s radio interview. She added that the informant admitted to being "one of those who took part in cementing the case."

Ruby Rose's remains now lie at the Manila Memorial Park in Sucat, Parañaque, Rochelle said.

Who is the mastermind?

Asked who could be behind her sister’s killing, Rochelle pointed to Ruby Rose’s husband, Manuel Jimenez III, father-in-law, Manuel Jimenez Jr., and Manuel III’s uncle who owns the Buena Suerte Jimenez fishing company in Navotas City.

"Nagkaroon kami ng lead na ang may kagagaawan nito ay si Atty. Manuel Jimenez Jr., Manuel Jimenez III, and kasama rin dito ‘yong uncle niya na may-ari ng Buena Suerte Jimenez sa Navotas. Doon ginawa at doon din itinapon," she said.

Rochelle said her sister confessed to having marital problems and that Manuel III even threatened to kill her.

"Sinaktan siya (Ruby Rose). Sinabi na papatayin siya. Na-witness ‘yon ng anak nila," she said.

Ruby Rose then asked a local court for a temporary protection order but her bid to secure the order was dismissed, Rochelle added.

Rochelle recounted that over the last two years, the Barramedas had repeatedly asked the Jimenez family for help in locating Ruby Rose, but "they never wanted to talk to us."

The Jimenez family, through their legal counsel, denied involvement in Ruby Rose’s killing, much less having any motive behind her death.

"Walang dahilan para i-utos [There is no reason to have her killed]," said laywer Mario Aguinaldo.

Aguinaldo explained that the Jimenezes even wanted Ruby Rose alive because there is an ongoing child custody case between her and Manuel III. "We (Jimenez) are even winning the case," Aguinaldo added.

Rochelle Barrameda's Sis Is Finally Found

Former beauty queen and actress Rochelle Barrameda on Wednesday, June 10, confirmed that the remains found inside a cemented steel case in Navotas City was that of her sister Ruby Rose’s. Barrameda based her confirmation from the clothes worn by the body.

The recovery had officially ended the family’s two year search for Ruby Rose. The police would have to match first the remains’ dental records with the ones submitted to them by the family.

Members of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) found Ruby Rose’s body following a tip from an informant. The victim has been missing since May 2007.

“Sa imbestigasyon namin sinabi niya [informant] na isang babae ang nasa loob n’yan at hanggang ngayon ay iniimbestigahan namin. Para kami makasigurado isinabmit namin sa crime lab [para] magka-meron sila forensic analysis."

Barrameda got emotional when she first saw the cemented steel case at the police crime laboratory. “Hindi makatao. Inilagay na sa drum… hindi ka pa nakontento sinemento mo pa."

Barrameda’s family suspected that Ruby Rose’s husband, Manuel Jimenez III, had something to do with the killing.

“Ang kapal-kapal ng mukha ninyo para sabihin nyo na wala kayong alam. Ang kapal ng mukha niyo. Sana kung ano man ang nararamdaman naming, maramdaman niyo rin, maramdaman ng pamilya nyo," she added.

The report said Jimenez’s counsel denied Barrameda’s presumption.

The lawyer, whom the report did not name, said his client could not be charged in court based on a mere suspicion.

Who's Had Enough of Lolita Solis?

Hayden Kho-Maricar Reyes Sex Video Part 3

Before I discuss "Her Annoyingness" Lolita Solis, I just found out there is another Hayde Kho-Maricar Reyes sex tape. This time it's on the sofa/living room of an apartment or hotel room.

Imagine that. There are still brave souls out there uploading these sex videos. Or this is some type of damage control from the Hayden Kho camp to make it appear the recording of the sex videos are consensual. It was obvious from the video that Hayden and Maricar knew the tape is rolling.

HERE IS THE SITE CONTAINING THE LINKS TO THE VIDEO. CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK. LOL


Now, who has had it with Lolita Solis? I do. I was watching Star Talk last Saturday and Lolita Solis was once again being interviewed about Hayden Kho and his sex videos. This time the topic was about an audio tape that contains a discussion of the sex video scandal between Lolit, Vicki Belo, Hayden Kho, his mother, some PR people and lawyers for Hayden Kho.

Lolit Solis amuses me with her antics on the show, but she is starting to irritate me. When asked why the audio tape was released, Lolit Solis speculated the act was intended to destroy her credibility, Bong Revilla's and Katrina Halili's. The nerve. Lolit, if God is passing out stamps for credibility, you will not get any. Bong Revilla? He has the morals of an alley cat. Katrina Halili? Next please.

Lolita Solis was supposed to be on Team Hayden but she backed out because she found out Hayden has no remorse. Ano ba ang idea ng remorse para kay Lolit? Malamang gusto nya makita si Hayden na naglulupasay sa harap nya habang naglilitanya ng mga kasalanan nya?

Not that I'm defending Hayden Kho. Far from it. I just don't feel anything towards him. I just don't care about him. He can drop from the face of the earth right this minute for all I care. And it's not just because his favorite song is "Too Young" by Jack Wagner.

Anyway, back to Lolita Solis. She got herself in this mess because she wanted to play in both camps. Lolit Solis manages the showbiz careers of Bong Revilla and his wife Lani Mercado, as well as Jinggoy Estrada. She was also asked to play publicist for Katrina Halili on the request of her manager from GMA Network. She is close friends with Vicki Belo and was also a one-time manager for Hayden Kho.

With all these conflict of interests, she just couldn't bow out graciously and say no. Be an neutral observer. In short, huwag makialaman. Pero, knowing Lolita Solis, it's all about the money.
