Is Marian Rivera pregnant with Dingdong Dantes' baby?

One of the questions asked by Boy Abunda to Karylle during last Sunday's the Buzz was if she could confirm that Marian Rivera is pregnant with Dingdong Dantes' baby.

Karylle, who admitted still hurting with the breakup although she stressed that she was moving on, went silent on the question for several seconds until Boy Abunda finally ended the interview with the hanging question.

Is Marian Rivera really pregnant? And is Dingdong Dantes really the father of the baby? No one can confirm nor deny as of this time. But the days will tell.

Karylle still refuses to reveal cause of break-up with Dingdong Dantes

Karylle, now a certified Kapamilya, had a grand welcome in ASAP last Sunday, with almost all the hunks at ABS-CBN serenading her.

Karylle finally made the right move in changing channel considering that her mother Zsa Zsa Padilla and step dad Dolphy are true Kapamilyas.

Karylle looked so happy in ASAP and signs of her still hurting following her breakup with boyfriend Dingdong Dantes did not manifest.

The issue, however, was brought up again during her guesting in the Buzz where she was asked 10 tough questions by Boy Bunda.

One of the questions was if Marian Rivera was really the cause of the break up. Karylle, who is educated and refined, refused to answer. A right decision, I should say. If she wants a closure to her break up with Dingdong, Karylle should no longer entertain questions about the past.

Dawn Zulueta's early pregnancy signs

The ever dashing and beautiful Dawn Zulueta revealed during her interview at The Buzz last Sunday that she was two months preggy and that she is having early signs of pregnancy like morning sickness, dislikes to certain things and smell, etc.

Dawn admitted that it was already during the sixth month in her first pregnancy that the signs manifested.

Dawn was scheduled for a live interview at the Buzz the past Sunday but she failed to appear in the studio because she had spotting in connection with her pregnancy. She, however, fulfilled her promise and went to the Buzz last Sunday.

Dawn said her physician has advised her not to work too much although she can still do TV appearances.

SOP's tribute to Marky Cielo

Was channel surfing at noon today when the remote control brought me to GMA 7. There were lighted candles and all of those singing on stage were wearing white. As if someone has just died. Add to that the song, which was "Paglisan", a song meant for those who will be going somewhere far or for those who have just died.

I paused for a while to find out what was it all about. And then it hit me. It was SOP's tribute to the handsome, young actor who had died just a couple of days ago - Marky Cielo. Everyone on stage was on grieving mood. Everyone was crying. I even saw Janno Gibbs wearing black shades trying to hold back his tears.

"Sayang talaga". That's what I can say to the young actor. Whatever caused his death, it was very untimely. It happened when he was still on the infancy of his career.

According to reports, his mom tried to wake him up for an appointment at around six in the morning. After the young actor failed to answer the door, it was forced open. Marky Cielo was found lifeless inside and was declared dead when he was brought to the nearby Antipolo hospital.

The cause of death is still unclear at this point, but acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis, locally known asbangungot, may have been the cause. This was also the cause of death of another young actor, Rico Yan, many years ago.

Gretchen extends Bong her birthday wish

It was a star-studded birthday celebration for Senator Bong Revilla last September 24. The actor turned politician celebrated his 42nd birthday and was very happy that all his closest friends from the senate and showbiz were able to come despite the bad weather.

A big surprise however, was the presence of Gretchen Barretto, who was once linked to Bong before. She even went up the stage to give the birthday boy her special message. Lani Mercado, Bong’s wife was up there on stage with him and was all smiles during this moment.

It was reported before that Lani and Gretchen had a long standing riff between them because of the latter’s closeness to Bong. It seems like the gap has been fixed with Gretchen being invited to the party.

Gretchen though could not avoid the press’ queries about rumors of her being kicked out of her partner Tony Boy Cojuanco’s home. The actress emphasized that she’s getting quite annoyed with recurring rumors of her being thrown out of their house. Although she and Tony Boy had a fight, she denied leaving their home in ForbesPark. Gretchen even said that she stayed inside the house for 10 days because she was nursing a flu.

The actress admitted that her partner was the one more affected by the rumor. Gretchen confessed that she’s so used to these kind of news that she doesn’t even cry about it anymore.

John Lloyd Cruz plays psychotic in Maalaala Mo Kaya

I had goosebumps when I saw the trailer of the Maalaala Mo Kaya episode that will be aired on October 20 because the ever handsome John Lloyd Cruz plays a husband who is schizophrenic or with psychotic disorder who believes that he is a devil advocate.

John Lloyd shows how versatile he is with the role and his acting is made even more convincing with the make-up that really effectively portrays him as a psychotic.

"After two years, I'm back sa MMK at nakakatuwa kasi ang kasama ko si Alessandra de Rossi, ang galing nya. Walang effort on her side, kung nasabi ninyo na ako walang effort umarte, mas magaling si Alessandra," John Lloyd told the press.

John Lloyd prepared so much for his role in MMK even to the point of going to the National Mental Hospital to do research on people with psychotic disorder.

"Nag research ako sa role na baliw kung paano at saan nagmula, sayang nga, wala akong nalapitan aksi yung iba inilayo kasi baka kung ano raw ang gawin," the young actor said.

ABS-CBN statement regarding the GMA libel suit

This is ABS-CBN's official press statement regarding the libel charges filed by GMA-7:
"We are waiting for a formal copy of GMA-7's complaint so our lawyers can evaluate its merits.
We are disappointed but not surprised by GMA-7’s reactions to the discovery of TV ratings manipulation.

We continue to stand by our earlier news reports that AGB-Nielsen Media Research General Manager Maya Reforma identified GMA-7 as the broadcast network behind the efforts that compromised panel homes in Bacolod.

Furthermore, in the attachment to Reforma's affidavit submitted to the Quezon City Regional Trial Court, she admitted that "79 of the 532 homes interviewed from the 6 cities were confirmed by panel homes to have been exposed to efforts by GMA."

Let's remember that the issue here is about having a clean TV ratings process, the reason we filed a civil case against AGB-Nielsen Media Research. Filing defamation charges against ABS-CBN diverts attention from the real issue. We are confident that the truth will come out."
