MANILA, Philippines?Zsazsa Padilla and Karylle did a duet of Natalie Cole?s ?I Live For Your Love? for K?s soon-to-be-released album.

Love has taken its twists and turns in their lives. Through every heartbeat and heartache, Zsa and K have each other to turn to.

?After her split with Dong, I advised K to concentrate on love that is constant,? said Zsa. ?Love from her family and friends.?

Do they fall in love the same way? ?Like most women, we both give love our all and we don?t hold back.?

Does she prefer Jericho Rosales or Christian Bautista to be K?s next boyfriend? ?In all honesty, I would go for anyone she likes. I just want someone who has good intentions and won?t break her heart.?

Zsa?s heart is in better shape than K for V-day. ?It will be my 20th Valentine?s with Dolphy. I hope he takes me to some place romantic like the beach. I appreciate our taking long trips just so we could be together. We can?t stand being apart for a long time.?

Zsa?s luck in love will soon rub off on K. With or without Mr. Right, Zsa?s love is all the love K has ever lost and hopes to find.

Good work

Francis Pasion?s ?Jay,? which opens today in all SM Cinemas, is the toast of film festivals abroad. It won the Grand Prize at the Asian Hotshots in Berlin and also bagged an award in a Venice film fest.

At the Cinema Evaluation Board, we were raving about the film and gave it an ?A? rating. It delves into the subtle ways some media people exploit hapless souls who don?t know any better all in the name of ratings.

?Jay? is thought-provoking as it is heartwarming. Lead actor Baron Geisler outdid himself in his portrayal of a gay TV producer who uses his power of persuasion to get his story. It?s like Baron?s ?Robin Padilla? image off-cam suddenly transformed him into ?Rustom Padilla (aka Bebe Gandanghari)? on-cam as Jay. ?I?m not homophobic. I respect gays as long as they respect me. People say I?m vindicated because of Jay,? Baron says. ?Kasi despite the controversies hounding me, I got good reviews and won awards for my work in ?Jay.??

Baron?s good acting overpowers his so-called bad boy image.

Steady support

Mark Herras is backing up Jennylyn Mercado in her plan to file charges against a magazine that published unauthorized pictures of her baby Jazz?s baptism. ?Jen has her rights and so does her baby,? Mark says. ?As Jazz?s ninong and her ex, I?m here with my silent yet steady support.?
All that Jazz and fuss!

Testing the waters

Rufa Mae Quinto is dead set in trying her luck abroad. ?I?ll be leaving for the US after V-day, then I?ll be back end of March,? P-chi says. ?Then in April I?ll be off to Europe. I?ll be home for my birthday concert on May, then fly naman ako to Canada. Will test the waters dun. Go international na muna ang beauty ko.?

Watch out world! Here comes Pchi Pinay!
