As a Dollywood tradition, here are some choice quotes of celebrities we interviewed in the past year. Before embarking on new adventures in the biz this 2013, let me thank all the stars who trusted me with their stories in 2012.

Korina Sanchez never fails to make all her friends feel special during the holidays and even when there’s no occasion. Beneath her feisty image, she’s such a sweetie. More than the fab gifts she sends, it’s her handwritten message on the card that I treasure. She’s not one to just write a generic holiday greeting. [...]

Christmas time always stands out in our memory. It’s the coming together of everything we worked hard for and prayed for all year round. Noche buena is like an “after party” of the year gone by to thank God for all our blessings and triumphs.

There’s a little bit of Christmas every day of our lives because of special people who give us what we want and need even before we ask for it. Such is the true spirit of Yuletide. May we all learn to keep giving until we have nothing more to give. That way, even if our hands are empty, our hearts will always be full.

I immensely enjoyed bonding with the Quizon brood at the birthday dinner of Ronnie at Sogbu (12th Avenue cor Col. Bonny Serrano, Quezon City)—the homey resto of his brother Eric.

Julia Montes and Coco Martin had the time of their lives in Europe. From London, they took the train to Paris. The “Walang Hanggan” love team shared a “crepe moment” as they sat across the Eiffel Tower. Will their next teleserye be a remake of “Lovers in Paris?” Did they have a French kiss-moment, too? [...]

The sweet smell of success hasn’t made some celebs forget to smell the flowers. Via Instagram posts, some shared with us the places where they spent the long break: KC Concepcion, in Italy and France; Kris Aquino and kids, Korea; Cesar and Sunshine Montano and family, Tagaytay; Ruffa Gutierrez, Bohol; Jed Madela, Iloilo.

When I read about Dindi Gallardo allegedly being bullied by actress Kimberly Cox, gal pal of comic-book writer Frank Miller (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/holy_crap_batman_2IaaYHNNlcPOnq33z8BDpM), I immediately sent the former beauty queen/actress a message on Facebook. Dindi is now Joanna Gallardo-Mills and based in the United States.

I’ve always been a party animal. I usually tell my friends in jest that even if I already have a Senior Citizen card, I would still be partying and using my card for discounts at night spots. When I turned a year zanier last Sept. 22, I had an intimate birthday bash at 7th High [...]

Angelica Panganiban and John Lloyd Cruz have moved on from their previous relationships (with Derek Ramsay and Shaina Magdayao, respectively). It seems they are ready to venture into a new chapter in their lives—based on Angelica’s Instagram pic, which she labelled “A Perfect Sunday according to the guy in pink (JL),” with this caption: Welcome Happiness. Joy pursued. Welcome everyone especially those who are smiling out of warmth.”

Matte Evans was spotted at the emergency room of The Medical City last Saturday night. He was reportedly beaten up by his girlfriend’s relatives. What could have provoked the girl’s family to gang up on him? What will he do about this? Martin’s 30th Martin Nievera recently celebrated his 30 colorful [...]
