MANILA, Philippines?Dennis Trillo is loveless right now. ?Siguro next time I fall di na ako magiging masyadong babaero,? Dens says, laughing.

He top-bills Regal Films? 48th anniversary offering, ?Mag-ingat Ka sa Kulam,? with Judy Ann Santos (opens Oct. 1). It will make Pinoys understand a scary yet very real practice and equip them with pointers on how to handle kulam. With all the intrigues hurled his way, hasn?t he ever thought of having his detractors ?pakulam?? ?Hintayin ko nalang dumating ang karma nila.?

He would rather not brew what they brew. Let Dennis bewitch you in ?Kulam.?

Guess list

? It was all systems go for the appearance of Veteran Actress in a TV show. She cleared her schedule to accommodate the taping. But as soon as the Main Star found out that VA would be a guest, she came up with flimsy alibis why she couldn?t make it that day. So the taping got packed up. Insiders insist MS didn?t want to be upstaged by VA. Insecurity or immaturity attack?

? This young actress keeps denying that there?s something going on between her and a young actor. But why is she the one scouting for buyers for the actor?s car? Is his heart part of her commission?

? When a chanteuse jumped into a pool, onlookers got shocked. Her boob job melted right before their eyes. Find the missing cleavage!

Big switch?

Diether Ocampo shrugged off rumors that he might make the big switch to GMA 7. Kapamilya or Kapuso, Diet remains to be a kakampi of mine.

No to drinking

When I offered John Estrada and his GF Priscilla Mireilles a welcome drink courtesy of ?Sober Club? (A mobile bar that specializes in shooters, it will bring any party to life with their unique games and drinks. Check out soberclub2007.multiply.com ) at my birthday bash, John told me Priscilla doesn?t drink. I teased him, ?So that makes you her only vice.?

Alone together

John Lloyd Cruz and Zanjoe Marudo were spotted in Fiamma in the wee hours of Friday. Their GFs were not with him, but that doesn?t mean they were night owls on the prowl. Demi-gods like them also need to ?chillax? once in a while.

Starry book

Grab a copy of the 2009 Star Magic catalogue, which showcases beauty and fashion shots of Star Magic artists as photographed by Paolo Pineda and styled by Luis Espiritu. Starry, starry book where everyone shines happily ever after!

Musical comedy

Multi-awarded chanteuses Nanette Inventor and Mitch Valdes and the vocal group The CompanY star in a musical comedy concert titled ?Temporary Insanity (An elegant evening of naughty songs and nutty jokes)? at the Captain?s Bar, Mandarin Oriental Manila on Oct. 10 (891-9999).
Hearty laughter and heartfelt music go together well.

Bachelor bash

Heavy rains did not dampen the excitement of Cosmo Readers from getting wet and wild at the Cosmo Bachelor Bash last Sept. 11 at the A. Venue Events Hall. Hosts Jada Pangan and Eric Neeman got the party started with fun, sexy games that let readers get up close and personal with the 69 hunks.

Pandemonium broke loose when the gorgeous celebs centerfolds Billy Crawford, Akihiro Sato, Ron Morales, Rocky Salumbides, Bruce Quebral, Macky Escalona and Paolo Contis took the stage.
What an unabashed girly bash!
