We saw it coming

Show biz watchers saw the breakup of John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao coming. Shaina’s jealous fits had gone overboard. Last week at the concert of her sister, Vina Morales, she went ballistic and sent Ruffa Gutierrez nasty messages using Lloydie’s cell phone.

I personally think it was uncalled for because Ruffa has moved on from her breakup with Lloydie many controversies ago.  “I bought tickets to Vina’s concert to show her my support, since we are kumares,” Rufs told me. “I wasn’t feeling well but my mom said we should all go because Vina is like family to us. Had I known that my presence would cause a commotion, I would have stayed home. JL called me the next day to apologize. He wanted pala to approach me to say hi during the concert, but nagkagulo na nga. I didn’t bother to reply to Shaina’s foul messages. It was my cousin who did. JL and I are history. We have our own separate lives already.”

Moral lesson? If you want a future together, don’t dwell on each other’s past.

Danica vs Kristine

Danica Sotto and sis-in-law Kristine Hermosa were said to have clashed during a family dinner with Oyo Boy and their mom Dina Bonnevie. Tin hardly ate, which prompted Danica to blurt out, “’Di ka pala kakain e, sana ’di ka nagpunta rito.”

Oyo reportedly wanted to come to the rescue of his wife. “Kung ’di ko lang kapatid ’yan (Danica), papatulan ko ’yan,” Oyo  said in exasperation.

Danica just gave birth and Tin is pregnant—it’s probably just mood swings. Or perhaps Tin was craving something for dinner and Danica was having post-partum blues. Danica texted me to say nothing of the sort happened, but someone close to Danica swears it did.

I’m sure they’ll patch things up and let love prevail, just like any family. Being on the family way should not get in the way of ties that bind.

Behind the smile

Beneath Jake Vargas’ boyish smiles are tears in his heart. As the family breadwinner, he shoulders the hospital expenses of his mom, who’s battling the big C. In his interview with Cristy Fermin on “Paparazzi,” he poured his heart out: “’Pag may gusto akong bilhin na usong shoes pinipigilan ko sarili ko. I automatically compute kung ilang bote ng dextrose o ilang injections para kay Mama ang halaga no’n. Para makatipid, I commute to visit her in Olongapo. Naka-cap ako, para disguise.”

May these trials give the ulirang anak in Jake a deeper reservoir of emotions to draw from as an ulirang actor someday.

New shock master

Regal Entertaiment has a new shock master in indie filmmaker Jerrold Tarog. “He is reinventing the aswang mythology for the ‘Twilight’ generation,” Mother Lily beams. “Expect the movie ‘Aswang’  to be taken to a whole new level.” A Hallo-win!
