Bebot, Bebot!

Actress Desiree del Valle just finished shooting in Antipolo for Maxim magazine. It was featured last night on TV Patrol’s Star Patrol. However, they said they were unsure which issue it will be released, just that she’s set to grace the cover soon. What kind of news is that? I’m thinking March, since it’s a bit too late for February. I’m not sure. Anyway, the news was probably made to attract more attention to Palos, where she plays a kontrabida. Desiree, hot but off-limits to men. Remember her “girlfriend” issue? Lucky woman.

Single mother, Sunshine Cruz

Now that Sunshine Cruz and Cesar Montano is officially split-up, let’s take some time to analyze what might have gone wrong, or what could have been. First off, on Buboy. Once a womanizer, always a womanizer. Hey, I’m not saying I believe what’s printed on the tabloids, nor do I give a damn which rumors about their marriage are true. All I’m saying is that Buboy lived up to his stereotyped image of being a palikero. Why? Because what kind of man would not make a relationship with Sunshine Cruz work? Sunshine could probably be the biggest bitch in the world and I would still come home to her. But that’s just me, because back in the day, she was my Aubey Miles, my Joyce Jimenez, my Diana Zubiri, et al.

Come to think of it, marriage problems aside, Sunshine’s “real” comeback is just an event waiting to happen. Her future, if she intends to achieve her old celebrity status, is as bright as sunshine. Although I do think she is honestly enjoying being a mother. I do wish she didn’t settle down so soon, I’m sure I’m not the only one on that. A Googled “Sunshine Cruz” still results in an all-sexy collection of images from very old magazines and tabloids; nothing new, sadly.

Again on Buboy, I’m not saying or implying anything negative here, in fact I’m not denying that he, for me is somewhat a hero. An urban legend, a man’s man, an idol. Let him be. A lot of people probably thought he wouldn’t last with Sunshine, or with anyone for that matter, and that’s why it happened. It’s a rare instance that a man’s man truly changes. In the end, I only wish that Sunshine is happy with her life. That or get back to being a friggin’ sex icon once again.

July 24, 2007 update

Pregnant seems to be the theme of 2008. Anyway, nothing wrong here, Nikki Valdez’ pregnancy is perfectly normal and expected, since she married Filipino Chris Lina last July 2007. They moved to Canada for Chris’ work - he is a sales manager for a high-end car dealership. Nikki is currently 3 months pregnant, and adds that they might go home and visit friends and relatives after she gives birth; they’ve already spend Christmas and New Year in Canada.

There’s a buzz about this ex-couple “crossing paths” in Singapore. Rumor has it that the two were spotted in a restaurant before proceeding to a nearby beach (Singapore? Really?). Bianca was there for vacation while Lino was already temporarily based there for some meetings with producers. Although sources say that the two looked like they were back together, Bianca denied it in Entertainment Live earlier today.

You know the real hero here is Lino Cayetano. Just check out some of the broads this director slash semi-celebrity dated or have been linked with: KC Concepcion, Bianca Gonzales, and, my favorite, Diana Van Walsum.

Well, they seem to be the current “in” couple, except, they’re not a couple yet. Or so, they say. Lovi Poe, daughter of the late, great actor and would-be President, Fernando Poe Jr., is being courted by the son of Senator slash actor Bong Revilla, Jolo Revilla. Jolo, now 18 years of age, is considered “the Philippines’ youngest showbiz father,” after he knocked-up Rosanna Roces’ daughter, Grace, when he was only 16 years old. Even worse, Grace was only 14 back then.

Anyway, I see these cheesy features of them, on-screen, saying their petty promises to each other. Lovi is wary of the Jolo-being-a-dad issue, so Jolo comforts her by assuring that he is not a womanizer. You know, I believe him when he says that. Because he is too young to be labeled anything yet. And, one love-child is not enough. He may not be a womanizer now, but he will be.

Let the kids be kids. For the lovely Lovi, having a boyfriend is part of life, and, I’m pretty sure she’s not going to end up (married) with Jolo anyway, unless of course she gets knocked-up as well, so I hope she’ll be careful. She’s yet to make a ton of fans and future admirers happy.
