AFTER RUFA MAE QUINTO?S DJ Mo-bashing because he inadvertently dragged her name into the Vicki Belo-Hayden Kho controversy, Mo fires back.

?Basically she called me bastos for asking her a question regarding an issue she was involved in,? Mo laments. ?What is more bastos, asking that question, or not showing up [for] our show and, instead, guesting on the rival program? which Rufa Mae did? Perhaps she expects to make millions from this biz but gets angry when an issue about her is questioned. It?s unfair to our audience.?
The twists and turns in Mo Twister?s controversial life never seem to end.

Mestizo date
Heart Evangelista was spotted being quite cozy with a mestizo skinhead at Powerplant Mall. Is the guy her businessman ex-BF, a new suitor, or just a close friend? Eenie minie mini mo. Heart is for "kanino"?

Back to school
Charlene Gonzales is back to school in the United States. She?s attending Business Management Entrepreneurship classes in Harvard for one month.

?It?s good that I took up a one-on-one Mentorship Program in Business Management and Entrepreneurship at AIM (Asian Institute of Management),? says Charls. ?And I have my B.S. Psychology degree from UST (University of Santo Tomas). It helped me in my Harvard application. I?m happy that Aga encourages me. We believe learning is a never-ending process. Our twins are excited for me and told me to ask if they can also enroll in Harvard.?

Charlene is a certified Binibining B.B.?Beauty and Brains (and Aga?s ?B.? too).

Guess list
?An actor is appalled by how a TV host throws his weight around. ?When he was still struggling, kinukulit niya ako parati maki-jam sa band ko,? says the actor. ?Ngayon big time na siya, dedma siya when I asked him if he remembers those times. At snob siya when I guested in his show, till he found out na I?m related to someone na may position. Biglang chummy na siya sa akin.? Fame has a way of causing selective amnesia.

?The co-stars of a young actress were stunned by her ostentatious display of bling-bling. Someone in the know insists that YA is the current apple of the eye of a prince. He reportedly had YA locked up in a hotel room for three days while he showered her with lavish gifts. Bewitched, bothered and bejeweled!
