IT?S OFFICIAL! Starting Monday night on TV5, Willie Revillame?s new co-host on ?Willing Willie? is Shalani Soledad.
The ex-GF of President Noynoy is Willie?s personal choice. Seems the new tandem is out to show that, just as their names rhyme, they have the chemistry to make the game show sizzle even more.
It took a lot of persuasion before Shalani said ?yes.? She?s gone through a lot after her breakup with P-Noy.
As her mom puts it, ?Alam kong nagmahal ng totoo ang anak ko. Sa mga patuloy na bumabatikos sa anak ko, di nila alam ang totoong kwento. Mahirap na magsalita kasi maliit na tao lang kami. Pero disente naman ang aming pamilya. Walang katotohanan na may anak si Shalani sa dati niyang BF at di rin totoo na si Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian ang pinalit niya kay P-Noy.?
With her foray into hosting, the charming Valenzuela councilor will be too busy to dwell on her heartaches. We hope that soon enough, the wounds will heal so she will be busy being happy and be happy being busy.
Romance over
Pia Guanio was spotted with a non-show biz date in Tagaytay. It could have been just a friendly date. But it could also be a telltale sign that her romance with Vic Sotto is really over. Is it pack up and change casting for Vic and Pia?
No vacancy
Karen Davila sent feelers to TV5 to join the Kapatid network?s news department. But since there seems to be no vacancy yet, she was offered to join the soon-to-be launched cable network of TV5.
Karen will be an asset to any news team. It just feels odd when news anchors become headline material. But Karen has enough grace and dignity to handle all the pressure.
Damage control
Rumors that Claudine Barretto and Raymart Santiago?s marriage is on the rocks refuse to die down. Perhaps as damage control, Claudine tweeted: ?Finished guesting in ?Bantatay.? Off to Batangas to celebrate our anniversary.? Quarrels serve as a renewal of love. Hopefully, that?s the case with the beleaguered Santiagos.
Where to, Q?
Is Q Channel 11 really folding up? Are there plans to convert it into a cable news network like ANC? The Q in QTV could very well stand for Questions, as viewers await the final verdict.
