Fistfight between hunks follows Star Magic Ball

September 6, 2011 | 8:17 pm

KIM Chiu, in this dreamy Francis Libiran ball gown, is proclaimed Star Magic Drop Dead Stunner.

Kapamilya stars Coco Martin and Matteo Guidicelli figured in a brawl Saturday night, shortly after the Star Magic Ball at the Peninsula Manila’s Rigodon Ballroom. They were prevailed upon to “cool down” before a face-to-face could be set, Martin’s talent manager Biboy Arboleda said on Sunday.

Arboleda said he and Guidicelli’s manager Joji Dingcong, with the help of Star Magic (ABS-CBN talent management arm), are fixing the problem.

The two hunks exchanged blows at the Pen’s Salon de Ning, during a post-ball party which Arboleda said he hosted. “I was only 3 feet away when it happened,” he recounted. “I ran to pacify them.”

A TV report said Guidicelli was with his girlfriend, actress Maja Salvador, when he ran into Martin. The Fil-Italian actor has long been rumored to be jealous of Martin. An online account quoted an unnamed witness who said Guidicelli started the fight.

Salvador admitted on “The Buzz” that Guidicelli was her boyfriend and she was the reason for the fight, but said she was unsure about the relationship after what happened.

Star Magic downplayed the incident. PR officer Thess Gubi said in a text message: “What happened was a simple misunderstanding. Coco and Matteo are sorry it happened. Everything has been resolved.”

Celebrities, garbed in designer suits and gowns, posed for photographers on the red carpet before proceeding to the Rigodon Ballroom. Guidicelli was among the first to arrive, with Jolo Revilla and Xian Lim. Salvador came unescorted and Martin opted not to walk the red carpet.

Among the head-turners were real-life couples Kristine Hermosa and Oyo Sotto, John Estrada and Priscilla Meirielles, KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual, John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao, Bea Alonzo and Zanjoe Marudo, Angelica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay, Nikki Gil and Billy Crawford, Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco, as well as on-screen partners Erich Gonzalez and Enchong Dee, Melissa Ricks and Matt Evans, Jodi Sta. Maria and Rafael Rosell.

The program started at 9 p.m. and was hosted by Martin Nievera, comedians Pokwang and Chocoleit. Erik Santos, latest newest addition to the Star Magic stable, sang a medley with Vina Morales but performed “I Believe I Can Fly” solo.

BEA Alonzo, in Jun Escario, and Zanjoe Marudo, in Jil Sander, are given the title Fab Pair.

Special awards were handed out. Kim Chiu was declared Star Magic Drop Dead Stunner; Cristine Reyes was Standout Star; Pascual and Concepcion were Choice Fashionistas; Marudo and Alonzo, the Fab Pair; Dee and Gonzalez, Favorite Couple of the Night.

Newcomers Jessy Mediola and Enrique Gil were awarded the Breakout Style trophy, Maricar Reyes and Diether Ocampo brought home the Choice Stylista awards. John Lloyd Cruz, recipient of the Star Magic Icon award, dedicated his trophy to Star Magic exec Johnny Manahan who, he said, was the “true icon.”

Sana itong away na ito ay magsilbing lection or aral para sa mga lalaking manununulot. alam mong magsyota ang dalawa pero pumasok ka pa rin. Aral din sa mga babaeng two timer. dahil nanakihiya. lalu na’t ang babae ay mula sa angkan na may hindi magandang track record. Kaya ang familya Aquino ay hindi dapat condenahin sa pag ayaw sa tatay ni Joshua. May nakapalag ba ? sa sinabi ni Raymond Gutierrez sa kanyang talk show ang tungkol sa kinaliwa at napatunayan ni John Pratt na totoo. Wala ! ! ! dahil si Raymond ay nagsabi lang totoo.

Good morning! I have been reading, listening and hearing this incident, from the interview of this Ms.Maja Salvador, to the written account of this brawl of this two young man because of this Ms. Salvador. I would like to say, that in the first place, “For all we care” of this brawl of this two, there are many problems that we Filipinos should take care and not read this kind of incident. In the first place, the problem lies between the three persons, and not include innocent people like us readers. To Miss Salvador, may you be reminded that it is you who started this, you should also end this. It is none of your business if men “fight over you”, my question is, “Are you a person who can be fight over”. Please look at yourself first…and to the two young men, my question is “IS THE WOMAN YOU ARE FIGHTING ARE WORTH IT?”…There are many young women who are “MATINO”…AND ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR! Also, i would like to make comment to regarding this STAR MAGIC BALL…DO THE ORGANIZERS KNOW THAT “MARAMING TAONG NAGUGUTOM AT NAGHIHIRAP NGAYON”…There is nothing wrong to have this kind of activity but please, if you could “TONE DOWN”…Rather than spend it to this so called “dresses” that you flaunt. why not spend the money to the much needed people/organization who needs help. There are a lot of people who needs help because of their sickness, actors/actresses who also needs help, HAVE YOU WATCH “WISH KO LANG” RECENTLY?…YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT IT, but recently, MR. RIC ARELLANO, a former singer in the 60′s needs medical assistance. His family had to write to WISH KO LANG just to seek for medical assistance. Why not used this money you used for this so called BALLl and give this to this people who needs help. And please dont’t tell us you have foundation for that, you might have foundation, but do this foundation help?…..I do hope that you would think about it and do something about it…and not read some news like this “brawl”…because of this person who just contributes news that we don’t care to read or listen.

KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual are a lesbian couple! Dapat si Enchong na lang ka date ni Papa Piolo, mas bagay sila. STOP BEING HYPOCRITES AND COME OUT OF THE CLOSET!!!

Ang mga artista natin ngayon, kundi nagbubuntisan, nagsusuntukan. Ha ha ha. Sige tsismisan tayo. I don’t get Maja. Why would she be not sure of Matteo anymore after he showed her that he is willing to kill or get killed for her? If Coco really kissed Maja on the lips, I think Matteo has the right to defend his pagkalalaki. Nobody kisses somebody else’s GF on the lips, not in the Phil. Sabihin na lang ni Maja na si Coco Martin na ang gusto niya because he would be better for her – careerwise, knowing that Coco is very popular now. :)))
