MANILA, Philippines--ABS-CBN?S ?Pilipinas Got Talent? has created a new Internet sensation in the person of Jovit Baldivino, 16, a high school student from Marilag, Batangas, who sells siomai at the town plaza after classes to help his poor family.
His audition video, uploaded on YouTube, has registered 2.2 million hits as of Monday (1.6 million on Sunday?and counting). Journey?s ?Faithfully? has found another voice! Was Arnel Pineda watching?
Yes, as a matter of fact, Jovit dreams of singing a duet with Arnel. This doesn?t seem like a long shot at all. Interviewed on ?TV Patrol World,? Journey?s Pinoy front man said of his young sound-alike: ?He has a really strong potential to become a rock singer. When I was 16, I didn?t sound as good as he does now.?
No way to treat an icon
Veteran Actress, considered a cinema icon, was slighted by the unprofessional behavior of Controversial Actress.
CA kept bothering VA to take part in a project. Reluctantly, VA agreed. For days, VA waited for CA?s call?only to learn that their meeting had been canceled. Inexplicably, CA remained persistent, but VA was so upset, she refused to believe CA?s profuse apologies.
Making their presence felt
In earlier times, the entire clan would?ve been chased out of town.
After a series of scandals rocked their family, Controversial Star continued to be seen in public?seemingly undaunted by the intrigues. Perhaps CS was trying to save face by keeping herself in the limelight. Her equally Scandalous Relatives remained visible, too.
Senior Star noticed that SR1 seemed jumpy in a show biz gathering?as if on pins and needles. ?SR1 looked worried about what other people are saying behind her back.?
SR2 seemed a bit too jovial at a recent party, singing and dancing without a care. ?In denial,? quipped an observer.
Still at it
Handsome Hunk is still actively engaged in the flesh trade. In a blog site targeting the gay sector, HH continues to sell his wares and seems to have recruited Macho Co-Stars.
HH has openly admitted that, aside from prostituting himself, he ?recommends? studs to his various customers, which include Married Actor.
Top of the talk shows
For those who missed last weekend?s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)

Ruffa Gutierrez on Kris Aquino:
?Hindi pa siya nagre-reach out sa akin. Pero baka sakaling sira ?yung phone niya, bigyan ko na lang siya ng Nokia. Baka ayaw niya ng flowers!? Para sa akin tapos na. I?m totally moving forward.? (Naisingit pa rin ang endorsement! Talentadong Pinay!?)
