John Lloyd and Shaina Magdayao may deny this to high heavens, but my friends based in Singapore swear that they spotted the ?undercover lovers? in the Lion City. They were seen dining at Lawrys in Orchard Road and at the Night Safari.
According to the eyewitnesses, Lloydie and Shaina were obviously avoiding Pinoys ogling at them. They also wore sunglasses in a desperate attempt to go incognito.
Could it be true that Shaina went ballistic when Lloydie went biking with Ruffa G at the Fort? I like Ruffa?s nonchalant reply to the issue. ?At least if ever nga nag biking kami as some people insist, wholesome activity naman ang ginagawa namin.?
Lloydie has repeatedly denied any romantic involvement with both Shaina and Ruffa. Maybe, aside from his Best Actor awards, he should also be elevated to the Hall of Shame, este, Fame for being such a Denial King.

Willie Revillame did a Houdini when he was a surprise guest at his close friend John Estrada?s birthday celebration on TV5?s ?PO5.? After performing with former ?Wowowee? dancers, Milagring, Luningning and Milagrosa, and giving away an obscene amount of money, he was mobbed for interviews.
But he dashed to his van escorted by bouncers. When reporters knocked on his window, they were surprised to discover that Willie was no longer inside the van.
There was another car waiting which he jumped into and sped away. Betcha by Willy Wow(owee)!

Allow me to wax ?senti.? I?d just like to thank Robin Padilla from the bottom of my heart for the kind words he said about me in his exclusive one-on-one interview with Tita Cristy Fermin in ?Paparazzi.?
Thanks also to Tita Cristy for being kind and caring enough to ask Binoe to clear the issue about our liaison dangereuse many controversies ago.
Binoe is living proof that the age of chivalry ain?t dead yet. He will always be the best part of my colorful past.

Star Cinema?s Father?s Day offering, ?I?ll Be There,? is an ?almost true-to-life? story of the lead stars, Gabby and KC Concepcion. It?s about a father who left his daughter at an early age and was reunited with her after more than 10 years of separation.
The movie gave them a chance to rekindle their bond all the more.
?What I really looked forward to during shooting was spending time with KC,? said Gabs. ?Prior to the movie, we hardly saw each other because our schedules hardly jibe. We would just bump into each other at the studio and that?s it. I am in awe of how great KC is as an actress. I?m not saying that just because I?m her dad. I?ve watched her movies, but working with her as a co-actor is a totally different experience that I hope will happen again.?
The movie is a dream come true for all Gabby-KC fanatics who have clamored for it ever since Gabs? homecoming after his hiatus in the United States.
Like na like ng fans ang look-alikes! The awesome tandem could very well exclaim, ?The best things in life are we!?
