This week’s top show biz news from the tabloids (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

• Lovi Poe positibo ang pagtanggap sa pagpanaw ni Susan Roces: She’s an amazing woman, queen-like talaga! (A queen’s legacy lives forever.)

• True ba… Lotlot de Leon nakipag-ayos na raw kay Ate Guy; binantayan ang ina nang magkasakit? (Isn’t it about time?)
