MARIEL Rodriguez laughs off rumors that she is inconsolable now that her BF is in Paris shooting a movie with KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual.
?The luksa [mourning] issue has been blown out of proportion,? she says. ?I?m used to not seeing Zanjoe naman because he has work daily. We usually see each other on weekends only. It just sounds pathetic when they say I?m mourning. I trust him and at this point in our relationship, there?s no room for jealousy. He bought a local SIM in Paris so it?s cheaper to call me.?
C?est l?amour! Loin des yeux, mais pas du coeur (That?s love! Far from sight but not far from the heart).
Single yet unavailable
John James Uy is unaffected by talks linking his ex Carla Humphries to Raymond Gutierrez. ?I?m in a new chapter in my life and I?m stoked about it,? he says. ?Carla is free to do what she wants. I just hope she doesn?t lose sight of what?s right. Raymond approached me at a club and clarified the video issue about him and Carla. We toasted to singlehood.? Cheers to being single, yet unavailable!
Guess list
?This TV host refuses to be upstaged by guests in his show. When a top-caliber young actor was a guest, he gave a stern warning to his staff: Wag na wag nyo siya pasolohin sa stage. Dapat parati ako kasama sa frame [Don?t allow him to be alone on stage. I should always be in the frame]. Overexposed, yet so insecure! The stuck-up host can never have enough close-ups.
?A foreigner in a bar got irked when a Matinee Idol he was introduced to kept asking him why he doesn?t know who he is. The MI kept bragging about his shows, ads and billboards while the foreigner remained clueless. MI?s world revolves around himself but it?s ridiculous that he expects people from other parts of the world to know him. Duh!

Will the elusive restaurateur find a geisha in Japan who will cook her way to his heart?
