Heard that Ka-Shake network is cooking up a Sunday variety show to be hosted by Lucy Torres and Ryan Agoncillo plus a Sunday talk show with Tita Cristy Fermin and Ruffa Gutierrez as hosts.

Alex Gonzaga will be groomed to be the station?s Kim Chiu since they have a striking resemblance anyway. But in TVlandia, everything is subject to change until the cameras start rolling. Stay tuned as the vibe of TV5 keeps getting alive.

Has Maja Salvador gone wild? Did she and the friend of Roxanne Guinoo?s Chinese fiance (Elton Yap) really lock themselves up inside a car to have some private (or intimate?) moments together?

Ogie Alcasid is sad that ?SOP? has folded up. ?It?s not easy to say goodbye after 13 years,? he says. ?But like all things, it had to come to an end. We thank the fans and our GMA bosses for being behind us when we were up and when we were down. We will take a break for three weeks to regroup.?

What lesson has he learned from ?SOP?? ?It made me value my gift as a musician, made me grow and continue to seek growth.?

That?s precisely why Ogie?s fans will never grow tired of him and his music.

We gave ?Miss You Like Crazy? a ?B? rating at the Cinema Evaluation Board. It?s engaging enough but some scenes are quite contrived. Most of the pivotal scenes were shot along the Pasig River and a river in Malaysia.

After the screening, I said in jest to my CEB ?classmates? that the movie?s title should have been ?Namamangka sa Dalawang Ilog? since the characters portrayed by the lead stars Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd are torn between two lovers.

Dingdong Dantes really wowed the crowd at the SMX Convention Center during the country?s first Interactive Cake Decorating Expo, presented by Goldilocks. Although he only appeared for less than an hour (as a special guest), Dong managed to electrify the audience with his astounding stage presence.

Hosting is really one of his strengths. ?This Expo really brought out the kid in me,? Dong said. ?There was an oversized foam cake that people could decorate, interactive digi-cakes, and even a section where you could dress up as a cake décor and pose on top of giant cakes. Ang saya talaga.?

So is Goldilocks going to make your wedding cake anytime soon, mi amigo?
