Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban Call It Quits



Fans of celebrity couple Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban have their mourning veils lowered and weeping over the death of their idols' relationship. 

Celebrity breakups are common, so I wasn't surprise. Angelica Panganiban is like a dog guarding her territory with Derek, so I was surprised she gave up. Oh, well at least she has that Mini Cooper to remember Derek Ramsay by.

According to Derek, no third party was involved in the breakup, certainly not because of John Lloyd Cruz who is shooting a movie with Angelica P. But those in the know say that Angelica finally has had it with Derek's womanizing ways and not even another Mini Cooper will sway her to ignore her bf's pecadillos.

Sam Pinto, FHM's Sexiest Woman in 2011 via ballot buying, is being linked to Derek's name having done a commercial shoot with him. Sam Pinto is, ah, frankly I don't have anything, bad or good, to say about her.

My guess is that if a third party is not involved with Derek and Angelica's breakup, then they broke up because Angelica P finally realized Derek is not going to make her dream of becoming a beautiful bride come true.

Rich or not, a girl can wait for just so long. Angelica P is still young and pretty, while Derek is starting to show his 35 years of existence on this earth. Gurl, took an axe off his age, but his face is not cooperating.

So Taylor Kitsch Never Went to the Philippines

Is geography really a hard subject? Indonesia is in Asia, so might as well call it Philippines, right Taylor Kitsch?

Taylor Kitsch went on the Late Show with David Lettermen to promote his surefire box-office bomb of a movie John Carter and relayed a story about how corruption touched his life in some godforsaken third world country when all he wanted to do was shoot some movie to entertain the world. Kitsch's story of hardship goes that customs officials of a country called the Philippines refused him entry and ask him for an iPhone.

Didn't the dumbass once glanced at his passport to see what country was stamped on it? If he bothered to look he would have seen Indonesia, not Philippines. That's right. Dumbass was never in our country. The Oliver Stone movie dumbass was shooting was in Indonesia.

I knew the second I heard of this story that there's not a speck of truth in it. Either someone is lying or being geographically challenged. Even if it's only Taylor Kitsch's left bicep that set foot in Philippine soil, we would have heard of it because the media would be all over it. I give you Bourne Legacy as an ehemplo. I got sick of hearing about Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weiss coming to the Philippines even before they made commuting here even more horrendous.

Okay, it's not like this kind of thing doesn't happen at our airports. However, it always suck when you're being accused of doing something when you're so far from the scene of the crime, so to speak. Also, how stupid is that? I can't fathom, really.

You know, this is a reason for me to stay away from John Carter when it shows here in the Philippines. And I was so looking forward to another IMAX experience. I predict that John Carter will go the way of Waterworld. Big budget, major bomb at the movie tills.

But of course, even if John Carter bombs, I don't believe this will be the end of Taylor Kitsch's movie career. Taylor Kitsch not being the brightest bulb in the box will not spell his doom. After all, beauty overcomes stupidity.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown: The Final Tribal Council

I wasn't going to write about Survivor Philippines anymore after Philippine Volcano Arnold got voted out. But watching the Jury two nights in the row made me changed my mind. Most of the jury members really takes the cake in bitterness and sourgraping!

Here's what's running through my mind while each jury member makes their case of why they deserve to be in the top 3 and not the trio of Mara, Betong and Step.

John: Why still bitter when you were voted out third? By the time of the final tribal council, John should have realized what went wrong in this strategy: Paranoia. But kudos to him for pointing out to Betong they are playing Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown, not Survivor Philippines Charity.

KC: Got a right to still be bitter because his elimination was still fresh, but recognize that he was voted out because the girls, Mara and Step, was influenced by the jury. As for Betong, give him hell not your vote since Maey told him to vote you out from the jury box. Betong has no strategy from day one, and still has none until the FTC. It was low of KC to hurt Step by just telling her that her dog Taco Boy has gone to dog heaven. Would that news help him decide who should win Survivor?

Lito Lapid's Wife is a Money Launderer FAIL!

If you were smart enough to have accumulated wealth, the legal or illegal way, you should also be smart enough not to get caught smuggling huge amounts of money from your home country to another country.

Well, the wife of Lito Lapid, Marissa, got herself arrested for trying to bring $50,000 in cash into the USA. You know and I know Marissa knows that Marissa tried to lie her way through the airport, but airport personnel are trained to smell liars a mile away.

So Marissa was arrested in November 2011, presented herself infront of a judge who allowed her bail. She's now sporting a new accessory, an ankle monitor, after she was arrested when she came back in January 2012.

This incident does not reflect well on Lito Lapid, who is set to make a television comeback via ABS-CBN. Oh, wait.. Lito Lapid is a Philippine senator and a long-standing member of the so-called committee on silence.

Lito Lapid's committee membership is also in peril because he has bee visible lately, speaking to the media about his wife's legal troubles and standing up to speak during the on-going impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.

The pressure is now on Bong Revilla. I'm betting Bong Revilla will choose to keep his membership on the committee on silence. This is why I ca't get on the Bong Revilla train. He doesn't try. At least Jinggoy Estrada makes an effort, even if it is in the name of grandstanding.

Lito Lapid's wife Marissa has hired a topnotch lawyer to prove one of two things: the money was intended for health-care purposes or the money would be used to make home repairs. I'm sure most of us are asking, "Ano ba talaga?"

That topnotch lawyer must be charging by the hundreds by the hours. I bet Marissa is now wishing she had declared the money or pay that miniscule (by comparison) bank transaction fee.

Iza Calzado Leaves GMA for ABS-CBN



Iza Calzado has foreseen that she would soon be playing mother roles to Bea Binene and Barbie Forteza, so she has said goodbye to GMA before that happens.

Iza Calzado has signed a three-year contract with the Kapamilya network, the rival of her former studio GMA-7, the Kapuso network. Stars are station hopping, hoping that their next employer will be the ONE to give them that elusive fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams.

Party Pilipinas is losing an ahjumma, but hopefully we will soon see that ahjumma bumping and grinding on ASAP!

I'm not saying Iza is not pretty. It's just that she looks like she's overdoing it with the Optein and forgetting to consume food that her stomach can actually turn into vitamins and minerals for her body. The result is that instead of being considered for roles that Marian Rivera and Rhian Ramos have rejected, Iza is accompanying Jose Manalo and Wally as they scour the Philippines for down-on-their-luck Filipinos whose lives' goal is to be chosen for "All For One, One For All." I'm not saying that's bad; what's bad about charity?

Well, Gretchen Barretto is getting lead starring roles in ABS-CBN teleseryes. Iza looks to be the same age as Gretchen Barretto, so maybe Iza's star will shine brighter with ABS-CBN.
