MANILA, Philippines?Iza Calzado has opted to keep mum, but her dad, show biz vet Lito, has been very vocal about his displeasure over her billing in ?One True Love.? Her name trails behind Dingdong Dantes? and Marian Rivera?s.
?GMA 7 is her home studio. I am hurt,? Lito told Rushes. ?I will just let my daughter?s work speak for itself.?
Germs? side
Though it looks like it?s business as usual on the set of ?Master Showman,? German Moreno is visibly hurting over the controversy involving his ?baby,? Vina Morales (whose sister Sheila is married to his son Federico).
Vina?s boyfriend Cedric Lee has reportedly denied that he?s the father of her unborn child.
?I?d rather not say anything that might make things worse,? Kuya Germs told Rushes. ?Our family?s priority is to make sure Vina and her child are healthy and safe.?

Top of the talk shows
For those who missed last weekend?s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)
