GOT THE pre-invite of the Ogie Alcasid-Regine Velasquez nuptial. It reads: ?Ogie and Regine are getting married. Formal invitation to follow. Save the date 12.22.2010.?
The couple?s photo looks like they are at a masquerade ball with Regine?s face partly shown with a mask up her forehead and a shimmering diamond ring on her finger. She is hugging Ogie who?s faced towards her so only his back is shown in the fairy-tale like shot.

Here?s what?s printed at the back of the postcard: We realize that our wedding venue is a long way from home. Here?s our recommendation to help make your whole trip memorable, exciting and extraordinary as possible (list of suggested resorts I have to keep confidential). We know that everyone wants to be in their best attire so as early as now we are giving you an advice. Gentlemen: Formal suit paired with pastel-colored shirt. Ladies: Formal pastel-colored flowing dress.

The Songbird and Songwriter are bound to Love happily ever after!

Incriminating evidence
A colleague showed me an incriminating photo of a matinee idol and a dancer. I thought it was an old picture taken during the time they were still on. But based on the date of the shot, it was taken recently. Are they back together? Is the young actress/GF of the heartthrob clueless about it? The picture paints a thousand intrigues. Say chismis, este, cheese!

Solo flight
I immensely enjoyed my solo journey to Saigon. I fell in love at first bite with Vietnamese cuisine. Cam on (that?s thank you in Vietnamese) to my newfound friends, Nguyen Thi Phu Ong Thuy and Nguyenhung Son for making my first trip to Vietnam an unforgettable one. My love for travel was intensified after watching Julia Roberts in ?Eat, Pray, Love.? My fab ahijada Alyanna Martinez is also taking a month-long trip to Italy. She?s excited to be traveling alone for the first time. I?m now planning my next destination. Call me Dolly in Wanderlust!

What network?
Could it be true that Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez are selling the rights of their controversial wedding to TV5? Wondering why it won?t be aired on Mariel?s home network ABS-CBN. Or maybe the couple just want to spread their horizons by tapping other networks. Marry go round?

Heart necklace
Ruffa Gutierrez and I were teasing her mom, Tita Annabelle Rama, why she was wearing a huge heart diamond-studded necklace at her grand birthday celebration. Was it her subtle say of saying ?good riddance? to her former ward Heart Evangelista? ?Kung nawala man si Heart, marami naman ang pumalit,? Tita A says. ?Sana mukha ko nakuha niya para sumikat siya. Go, girl (with matching snap of her fingers).? The birthday girl has turned another year feistier.
