SARAH Geronimo: Not ready for suitors
Singer-actress Sarah Geronimo was unaware of the rumor that comedian Vice Ganda had thumbed down her guest appearance on his ABS-CBN show “Gandang Gabi Vice,” where she was supposed to promote her latest movie.
“I’m clueless about what happened. I just know that I was scheduled to appear on the show. But I had been given very little time to promote the film … I assumed that there was a conflict in the schedule,” Sarah said. The film she referred to was Raz dela Torre’s rom-com “Won’t Last a Day Without You,” released in November last year.
Sarah insisted that she and Vice Ganda were fine. “There’s no rift between us—sana nga wala.” The two previously worked in the Wenn Deramas drama-comedy “Hating Kapatid,” released in July 2010.
Coincidentally, her coming TV show, “Sarah G. Live!”, which premieres on February 19, will replace Vice Ganda’s program.
She likened the musical variety show’s concept to that of Nora Aunor’s “Superstar,” and “The Sharon Cuneta Show.”
“The producers don’t want me to just sing; they want viewers to know more about me through the show,” Sarah said.
“Won’t Last a Day Without You,” her reunion movie with Gerald Anderson, reportedly made P87 million at the box office. Their first project together, “Catch Me, I’m In Love,” released in March 2011, made P120 million.
Her next movie for Star Cinema, with John Lloyd Cruz, starts shooting this month.
Advice
“I’m working hard for my future, and can’t see myself getting married until at least 28,” Sarah, 23, said during a recent media gathering for Jollibee’s “Always Affordelicious” Chickenjoy Meal, which she endorses. “I honestly don’t think I’m ready to entertain suitors.”
Valentine’s Day is a regular work day for her. “It’s not a day I look forward to,” she said. “My advice to single girls out there is: You don’t have to give your heart away just because it’s the day of hearts.”
