BB Gandanghari maysakit?
Mapupuna mo nga ang pagbabago ng katawan ng BB Gandanghari mula nang umalis siya sa Pilipinas. Ito ang mga tsismis tungkol diyan.
Ito ang balita.
HINDI mamatay-matay ang isyu tungkol sa mahiwagang sakit umano ni BB Gandanghari na nakahahawa. Kaya raw ito nagtago ng matagal sa US para magpagamot. Ang kanyang sakit ay nakuha umano nito sa Thailand. Mas lalo pang napag-uusapan ang isyung ito sa umpukan ng mga tsismosa dahil na rin sa sobrang kapayatan ng una.
Ngunit may sagot naman si BB sa kanipisan ng kanyang katawan, modelo raw kasi siya sa New York kaya ganito ang kanyang wankata. Na kinontra naman ng iba, paano raw magiging model ang aktor na naging girlita gayong hindi tinatanggap sa nasabing bansa ang mga gurang ng modelo.
Saan kaya natin puwedeng hagilapin si Gandanghari para mainterbyu? Tanging si Mariel Rodriguez lang daw kasi ang nakaaalam kung saan ito tumutuloy. Bawal naman sa kanila dahil naiirita si Robin na makitang panay ang kendeng ng kanyang utol.

Sharon Cuneta nagsorry sa agatol sa mga twitter bashers
For the past few weeks, naging abala si Sharon Cuneta sa pakikipag-away sa mga twitter bashers na hinihinala niyang mga tagasunod ng kilala niyang artista. Ayon sa balita, naagayuhan si Sharon na hintuan na ang pakikipagalitan ng nakakasakit na mga salita para hini maapekuthan ang kanyang image.
Ito ang balita.
Inaasahang titigil na si Sharon Cuneta sa pagpatol sa mga bashers niya dahil marami na ang nagpapayo sa kanya na tumigil na ito.
Pagkatapos niyang mapanood ang nakaraang episode ng Showbiz Inside Reports na nagtalakay sa mga haters at bashers sa Twitter at ilang social network sites, nag-tweet na si Sharon ng kanyang pananaw sa isyung ito.
Ayon sa Megastar: “If I have disappointed anyone by my having answered back, I apologize. But I stand by my actions and am sorry but nagpapakatotoo lang at lumalaban din pag sobra na ang pang-aapi sa amin ng anak ko. At least di ako nagpapa-cute na plastic!
“So sa mga tumatawag naman sa akin na plastic, ‘di ko na alam anong definition n’yo ng word na ‘yan kasi kahit ano pa ang gawin ko, eh iba kayo! Kaya I don’t mind na. There are more important things I care about, lots of things.
“Buhay ko at ibang taong nakilala ko ang magkukuwento ng kung anong klase akong tao, kung totoo man ako o hindi, hindi ang mga pintas nyo.

Intriga pa rin ang pelikula ni ER Ejercito sa Golden Screen Awards.
ITo ang balita:
MANILA, Philippines - Despite his non-inclusion among the best actor nominees at this year's Golden Screen Awards (GSA), governor-actor ER Ejercito doesn't see the need for its organizing body to return the P100,000 he had donated for sponsorship.
"Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story" publicist Jobert Sucaldito has cried foul over the film's lead star Ejercito's nomination snub, daring the Entertainment Press Society, Inc. (EnPress) to return the Laguna governor's donation.
In an interview with "Paparazzi Showbiz Exposed" on Mar. 17, Ejercito said, "Hindi ko naman pinapabalik eh… donation ko 'yon. Lahat naman halos ng award-giving bodies eh kapag humingi ng sponsorship sa'kin, binibigyan ko, galing sa puso 'yon. Hindi ko naman kailangan ipabalik pa."
However, the EnPress has apparently heeded Sucaldito's call. In a recent statement, the organization said, "In good faith, the EnPress is returning the one hundred thousand pesos sponsorship given by Laguna Governor ER Ejercito for the Golden Screen TV Awards last November (for which the society has fully compensated by media mileage given to the Governor and his... movie)."
Ejercito, more famously known in showbizlandia as Jorge Estregan, Jr., expressed his bewilderment over not being nominated at least, noting that in almost all other award-giving bodies, he got a best actor nod. Indeed, he was nominated in the said category at the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival, as well as the PMPC Star Awards for Movies, for which he snagged the trophy together with Aga Muhlach.
Ejercito was likewise bestowed the Gawad Tanglaw sa Sining ng Pelikula award in ceremonies last week.

Grace Ibuna breaks her silence
Grace Ibuna is starting to break her silence now that Iggy was already buried.
This is the news:
MANILA, Philippines – The death of Negros Occidental representative Ignacio “Iggy” Ibuna on Jan. 26 due to cirrhosis of the liver has thrust Grace Ibuna into the spotlight---and on the receiving end of malicious remarks from the public as well as from his wife Aleli Arroyo.
Finally on "The Buzz," March 11, Grace reveals her side of the “truth” to “straighten out things.”
Asked by host Boy Abunda why she finally granted the interview, Grace said she wanted to be “consistent” with her promise to give Iggy a “dignified” burial.
“Hindi ko naman ‘to gusto eh. Kasi parang ayaw kong patulan, Boy, kasi what for? And the truth is I was grieving. Sobrang sakit, hindi mo maintindihan kung saan nanggaling ‘yung sakit,” she said.

Grace Ibuna nagsalita na
Gaya ng pangako niya, nagsalita na si Grace Ibuna tungkol sa relasyon nila ni Iggy Arroyo at ang tunay niyang damdamin sa namatay na kongresista.
Ito ang balita:
MANILA, Philippines – Grace Ibuna, the partner of the late Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo, denied that she is only after Arroyo’s money.
In an exclusive interview with “The Buzz” aired on Sunday, Ibuna said she sincerely loved Arroyo for the six years that they were together and that she was never after Arroyo’s properties.
Ibuna also said she came from a comfortable family even before she met Arroyo.
“Hindi naman ako sa nagyayabang. Hindi kami mga Ayala or Zobel, Gokongwei, Sy or Tan but I have two hardworking parents. We lived well. Lumaki kami ng maayos at hindi rin naman kami mahirap but we lived a very comfortable life. We are all working, we are all entrepreneurs,” she said.
On the issue of being the “other woman,” Ibuna challenged everyone to look up on the definition of “mistress” in the dictionary.
“Alam naman natin ang ibig sabihin ng kabit. Buksan mo ang Webster, Oxford, Miriam dictionary, Wikipedia, buksan niyo. Ang ibig sabihin ng kabit yung nagsasama pa ang dalawang tao sa iisang bubong, they still share one common bed at ikaw ay tinatago. 'Yun ang mistress. 'Yun ang kabit,” she said.
Ibuna said she is saddened that her family is already being affected by the issue.
“Ang sakit nun lalo na sa mga magulang ko because they know the truth. Nasaktan ako because I know it’s not true,” she said.
Ibuna said she kept mum for a long time because she “really wanted a dignified burial for (Arroyo).”
“Hindi ko naman ito gusto eh. Ayaw ko patulan. What for? The truth is I was grieving. Sobrang sakit hindi mo maintindihan kung saan nanggaling ang sakit,” she said.
As to the accusations that she is enjoying the media exposure, Ibuna said: “Ako, gusto ko umeksena? Sino bang nag-umpisang magsalita? Kulang na lang pati pagpasok nila ng banyo pakunan nila. May narinig kayo sa akin? Wala. Araw-araw sila nasa media. Lahat na lang yata ng channel nilabasan nila. Kulang na lang pati Nickelodeon labasan nila eh. Pero ako ba sumagot? Hindi.”
Ibuna also dismissed the issue alleging that she was the one who unplugged Arroyo from the life-support machine.

Garrie Concepcion defended her mother Grace Ibuna
Garrie Concepcion, the half-sister of KC Concecpcion being the daughter of Gabby Concepcion to Grace Ibuna defended her mother from her detractors.
MANILA, Philippines — Up and coming singer Garrie Concepcion finally granted an interview to clear issues hounding her stepfather Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo’s death.
Garrie, 22, is the daughter of businesswoman Grace Ibuna by actor Gabby Concepcion.
Ibuna, the late Rep. Arroyo’s partner until he passed away January 26 due to cardiac arrest, said they were together for six years.
Growing up in the Arroyo brood with her siblings, Garrie described her family to be very happy. She also felt blessed to have had two fathers in Concepcion and Arroyo.
“Gusto ko lang pong sabihin sa lahat na very blessed ako to have two fathers. With Dada (Arroyo), doon ko po nakita na talagang masaya ang mommy ko. He really loved my mom so much. He loved me and my siblings so much like we were his own children,” she said in an interview with “The Buzz,” March 4.
An emotional Garrie shared that her family spent Christmas and New Year in London, where the late Arroyo underwent treatment since October 2011 for cirrhosis of the liver.
What hurt more apart from her “Dada’s” passing is the accusation that Ibuna was only after her late partner’s wealth.
Hayden Kho, Jr. will pursue show biz career
Hayden Kho is determined to join show biz again after his separation with his girl friend Vicki Belo.
MANILA, Philippines — Some think that because Hayden Kho, Jr and Dr. Vicki Belo are no more as couple that he will find himself in the gutter. Wrong.
According to Hayden’s manager, Carlo Orosa of Stages Inc., their controversial talent is still gearing up for a comeback in show business though not as heartthrob nor actor, but as a “personality.”
“Hayden kasi is not an entertainer. He is getting back his license as doctor soon and he has other businesses din naman so ang pagpasok niya uli sa mainstream is a means to make him more marketable as doctor and business,” Carlo told Bulletin Entertainment in an exclusive interview.
So, why is Hayden undergoing “intensive” workshops?
“Right now kasi the standards are high in the industry. Gusto lang din namin na he takes some classes para magkaron siya ng certain kind of confidence and stance.”
Carlo said he had a meeting with Cory Vidanes of ABS-CBN recently for Hayden. The manager said the network is quite “interested” in their ward but they have to submit a weekly report to Cory on Hayden’s progress with the workshops he is taking.

Pero he’s really weak, he’s suffering, his immune system is really down.”Quizon said Dolphy’s weakened immune system has made him very prone to getting sick.“‘Yung normal, isang maliit na virus na minsan nililigo lang natin, iniinda na ng katawan natin. ‘Yung sa kanya, isang ganun, it will turn out to be a full-blown pneumonia. So balik nanaman siya sa ospital, tapos pag nao-ospital siya, it takes weeks for this virus to leave,” he said.“Tapos [pag] matanggal ‘yun, babalik na naman siya sa bahay, tapos may bibisita na naman na may bitbit na pera, sa jeep na sinakyan nila, dadalhin nila sa room ng daddy ko, maa-ano na naman daddy ko, full-blown pneumonia na naman.”Despite Dolphy’s on-going struggle, Quizon said that the King of Comedy has managed to recover from the worst, and has even kept his sense of humor intact.

Anak ni Piolo Pascual ipinagtanggol ang ama
Masyado bang apektado ang popularidad ni Piolo na kailangan pati anak niya isama sa kontrobersiya ng kaniyang buhay?
Sa unang pagkakataon, nag paunlak ng isang panayam ang anak ni Piolo Pascual na si Inigo Pascual sa latest issue ng StarStudio magazine. Inamin ni Inigo na nasasaktan siya sa kanyang mga naririnig tungkol sa kanyang ama.
Ayon sa binata, hindi daw siya nakikisaw-saw sa mga intrigang binabato sa kanyang ama dahil alam niya na mas lalala lamang ang sitwasyon. Aniya, dapat nang tigilan ang pagsasabi ng mga maling impormasyon tungkol sa kanyang ama. Purong kasinungalingan daw lahat ng mga akusasyon na ibinibintang ng mga tao. Ang gusto daw niyang babae para kay Piolo ay yung wala sa showbiz at kayang tanggapin siya at ang kanyang ama ng buong-buo.
Jose Manalo
Inggit kaya ang nagtulak network para hayaang magsalita ang asawa ni Jose Manalo tunkol sa pag-iwan niya sa kaniyang pamilya dahil natalo ng concert nila ang katatapos na concert ng ABS CBN talent? Ano man yon, huwag aanang idamay ang mga bata.
GMA Network artist and comedian Jose Manalo's wife Annalyn Manalo, in an interview at 'The Buzz' alleged that her husband has abandoned her and his family for another woman. She claims that she has been aware of his extra marital affairs since last year but that he left them only this January. She also said that the last she has heard of him was through a text message saying 'I love you, mommy' just before he went on to change his number.
Annalyn also said that what hurt her most was when he started badmouthing her around his workmates which is proving her difficult to contact him. Jose has just recently had a successful concert at the Araneta with co-host Wally Bayola. He has previously been linked to 'Eat Bulaga' dancer Sugar Mercado where he is one of the hosts.
