AND THAT’S not me, says Jake Ejercito, shown here with Andi Eigenmann in a photo from their fan page on Facebook. “Let us just pray for her, her baby and her family,” he wrote on his Twitter account.
In an emotional interview on “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Andi Eigenmann’s mom, Jaclyn Jose, confirmed that her daughter is 18 weeks pregnant.
“She’s okay,” Jaclyn said. “I’m taking care of her. It’s not easy but I accept this because she’s my daughter and I love her.”
But Jaclyn was not inclined to be as soft or accepting towards the father-to-be. “He left her when Andi got pregnant,” she said. “I feel angry every time I think of him but… I don’t need anything from him or his family. I don’t even what to see them.”
The actress did not give names, but said he was Andi’s first boyfriend.
Jake Ejercito, son of former President Joseph Estrada and Laarni Enriquez, has (somewhat) denied he’s the one, posting on his Twitter account: “I’d just like to ask everyone not to jump to conclusions and misinterpret what has been said. I am not Andi’s first boyfriend. Let us just respect and pray for her, her baby and family.”
Although clearly upset, Jaclyn said she was proud of her 21-year-old daughter’s decision to come out and keep the baby. She added that Andi could count on her unconditional support. For her own strength, Jaclyn’s said she has turned to prayer.
Jaclyn appealed to the public: “My daughter made a mistake, I’m not saying she did right, but please don’t judge her [harshly].” She hopes the pregnancy won’t put an end to Andi’s blossoming show biz career, Jaclyn said. “For now, our focus is for Andi to stay healthy for the baby to come out strong.”
JACLYN Jose: “I don’t need anything from him or his family.”
Freebie-hungry
Looks can surely be deceiving. Top Star’s Assertive Partner is often blamed as the bad guy in their union. Turns out meek-as-a-lamb TS is deadlier.
Mole overheard TS smooth-talking Stunned Promoter, hinting at the power of celebrities to sell this or that product or event. SP couldn’t take a hint, so TS spelled it out: Could SP spare some more free tickets for her and the family?
Newbie shockers
Newbie Actor’s ultra-conservative parents were shocked when they learned of the boy’s latest project. They didn’t approve of scorching hot, skimpy costumes in the first place, and they were aghast when told that he would also have a kissing scene with a gay man.
Smack lang naman. Still that was the proverbial last straw. Will this be NA’s first and last show biz assignment?
Secret lovers
DEREK Ramsay with current squeeze Angelica Panganiban
Handsome Balladeer blushed when asked about his first show biz girlfriend. He refused to kiss and tell, but reporters were insistent.
HB said it was his decision to keep the relationship secret, and now he’s zipping it all the more because the girl has moved on and is living a different life.
Source suspects the secret girlfriend is Sexy Star, who also fell for HB’s batch mate and fellow singer, and other cute, younger guys.
Deal breakers
If negotiations for the splashy comeback of Drama Star have stalled, blame the negotiators. Big Bosses were turned off because DS’ handlers gave conflicting figures for her talent fee. One of the minions even asked for a house and lot. BBs were floored.
Price of success
TV Personality has attained considerable success in every endeavor, except for one vital aspect of her life: motherhood.
Mole reports that TP’s children are rude, and treat their mom shabbily.
Apparently, the kids haven’t forgiven TP for breaking up with dad, whose own life is a mess.
Showbiz Bigwig is saddled with the same problem – rebellious and insolent kids.
Easy lang!
With Kris Aquino’s busy schedule, does she have time for her kids? On “SNN,” Aquino assured viewers that she’s fine in that department, although one morning, she related, her chatty son Bimby said, “Mama, stop working so hard!”
Secret marriage
Angelica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay can’t seem to get a break from controversies these days. A marriage contract recently obtained from the National Statistics Office indicates that Derek wed Mary Christine A. Jolly, an Indian-Filipino model, on April 3, 2002.
Derek neither confirmed nor denied this, and only said he wouldn’t let it affect his relationship with Angelica. Also on “SNN,” he said: “For those who have been very supportive, I want to say thank you, and let you know that our relationship is very, very strong.”
On, off; on, off!
LOS ANGELES—Actor David Duchovny, who once admitted an addiction to sex, and his wife Tea Leoni have separated again, his spokeswoman said.
Duchovny and Leoni, who have been married since 1997, previously separated in 2008, the same year he sought treatment for sex addiction. Their latest separation was confirmed by Duchovny’s publicist, Flo Grace. It was unclear when they split up.
The 50 year-old Duchovny plays a sex-mad writer on Showtime cable drama “Californication,” after previously starring in 1990s hit drama “The X-Files.” Leoni’s film roles include “Spanglish” and “The Family Man.” She has two children with Duchovny. Reuters
