Pia Magalona napilitang magpa-interview kay Kris

May drama palang nangyari sa halos magkasabay na interview ng The Buzz at Showbiz Central sa wake ni Francis Magalona last Sunday. Kaya pala ang tagal ng interview ni Pia Guanio kay Pia Magalona dahil umiiwas sana sila sa The Buzz. Bigla raw kasing dumating sa Christ The King Chapel sa Greenmeadows ang staff and crew ng The Buzz kasama pa si Kris Aquino. Siyempre nagulat daw ang The Showbiz Central dahil hindi nila ini-expect ‘yun.

Saturday pa lang daw kasi, nag-decline na si Pia Magalona na magpa-interview sa The Buzz kung walang umasang darating pa ang crew ng ABS-CBN talk show.

JC de Vera is happy to stay as a Kapuso

Buong araw ng March 9, “John Carlo de Vera is nervous” ang status ni JC de Vera sa Facebook account niya. Kaninang tanghali, biniro na namin siya na mas nakakanerbiyos ang mga status niya sa Facebook, at natawa siya.

Tinanong ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si JC kung saan siya ninenerbiyos—sa birthday party niya na magaganap mamaya o sa magiging desisyon sa kanyang career. “Both” ang naging sagot niya.
