Could it be true that Robin Padilla is going back to ABS-CBN and will do a soap with Kris Aquino, while Aga Muhlach is moving to GMA 7? That?s quite a fair exchange of two major stars. Which network will benefit more from the trade?

The talent show craze is on. ABS-CBN 2 is launching ?Showtime,? which will be hosted by Vhong Navarro and Anne Curtis. Won?t viewers get confused because of the title, since Michael V?s talent show on GMA 7 is called ?Showwwtime?? Which show will rule in the ratings showdown?

Maui Taylor, Mr. Fu and I were shocked on our show, ?Stop, Talk & Listen? (on Cignal TV?s Viva Cinema Channel), when singer Alynna, Hajji Alejandro?s longtime (and much younger) girlfriend, said she still loved Hajji but was no longer in love with him. Sadness was written all over her face. ?Like every girl, I dream of being a bride,? Alynna sighed. ?Too bad Hajji won?t marry me ... ?cause he has been married twice? When I asked him about it, sabi niya, ?What for???

The former ?Kilabot ng mga Kolehiyala? now has a kilabot for marriage? Maybe Alynna and Hajji ought to rekindle their romance by doing something they?ve never done before as a couple. Love is a terrible thing to waste.

Roselle Nava is set to marry her boyfriend of nine years, Allen Ford Tan, on Jan. 17, 2010 at the Manila Cathedral. They want an intimate wedding, not a show biz event. Since her parents are quite strict, Allen and Roselle have never taken a trip together. So for their honeymoon, they plan to go to Hong Kong and Macau. No trip, though, could ever compare to the adventure called marriage.

Ryan Agoncillo?s cool manager, Noel Ferrer, told me there?s no truth to the rumor that Judy Ann Santos is infanticipating. I guess Ryan and Juday are still enjoying the honeymoon stage so much, they?re in no rush to get to the next stage of married life.

Could it be true that Kris Bernal was spotted kissing a private gym instructor of celebs at Pinnacle Fitness Club? Gym habitués insist that the instructor, and not Aljur Abrenica, is Kris? real boyfriend. Or could it be a case of mistaken identity? Is Kris? heart in better shape with the fitness buff or with buffed Aljur? Aljur?s real girlfriend is said to be Rich Asuncion. So is the Kris-Aljur love team actually a love scheme?

I am excited for Marian Rivera. Not only is her career in full swing, she has also ventured into her own business. Who would?ve thought it would be real estate?
Marian was chosen to be the endorser for SM Residences. She bought her own units at Berkeley Residences. She realizes the fact that it?s important for celebs to invest because show biz doesn?t guarantee a lifetime of fame and success. We?ve heard too many stories proving that. Will Dingdong Dantes be Marian?s man of the house anytime soon?
Guess list
This TV personality is a million times richer, not because of his show and endorsements, but mainly due to his secret recruiting ?racket.? A show biz insider squealed on him: ?He gives performers on his show a certification that they appeared on his show, plus a tape of their appearance so they can submit it to any foreign embassy and be hired as entertainers abroad. The performers pay him a hefty amount for it and he gets commission from their earnings overseas.? OFW in his vocabulary means Overseas-Financed Way of life!
This actress staged the disaster that happened to her and her family. Another actress who?s in the know revealed: ?Sinadya niya ?yung kalamidad na nangyari sa kanila para makaiwas sa utang at makakuha ng pera sa insurance.? Force majeure a la show biz!
