I chanced upon Angel Locsin, Cristine Reyes, Anne Curtis, Sam Milby and their friends having a nightcap last Sunday at Bugsy’s Makati. Sam and Anne arrived and left together. Could they be working on a reconciliation or are they just rebuilding their friendship?

The spark in their eyes said what words couldn’t. “Sam and I are hanging out again,” Anne admitted. “Let’s see where things go.”

Anne and Angel were in a festive mood because their “Shop & Share” online site has earned $15,000 for “Ondoy” victims. Cristine is back in high spirits after her harrowing “Ondoy” experience.

After being ready for their close-ups, the Kapamilya stars took time out to live it up!

It’s not a remote possibility that Jo Anne Quintas (Josa) and Joey Marquez are getting too close for comfort. Joey’s track record with women speaks for itself. Some of his ex-es are models/beauty queens like Josa. It’s just sad that Josa and Domino Primero parted ways. They were so well-suited for each other. Dom and Josa had perfect teamwork in mounting World Wide Womb’s huge club parties/events. I remember Dom told me once that he’s having a hard time dealing with Josa’s mood swings caused by the diet pills she was taking. No longer in the mood for love?

Gina Alajar wonders how “The Buzz” accessed her Facebook account when, she says, she has no FB contacts from the show. She was shocked to see her FB page and status update shown on national television. Her status update read: “If I were Jinky Pacquiao, I would not give up Manny. Krista Ranillo is not worth it at all.”

“Di ba dapat nagpaalam muna sila sa akin?” she said. “My FB is for close friends and family only. It’s a social networking site but it has regulations. I think it’s against rules to use something from a member’s site without informing the person.”

Crazy things happen when our lives become an open Facebook.

A funny Pacman joke is circulating: “Kaya natalo ni Pacquiao si Cotto kasi gumagamit siya ng pangkontra sa kuto, Head & Shoulders!” Everything about the punch champ makes a perfect punch line.
