James Reid and Julia Barretto spotted kissing?

James Reid and Julia Barretto are dating?

The two have allegedly been spotted together in a coffee shop in Quezon City.

Other reports say they were also seen kissing, which sparked speculations that they are already in a romantic relationship.

James and Julia worked together in the recent hit movie "Para Sa Hopeless Romantic" and they say that's when the singer-actor started setting his eyes on Julia.

In the movie, James was partnered with his love team Nadine Lustre, while Julia was paired with Inigo Pascual for the first time.

Reports romantically linking James and Julia have saddened the fans of James and Nadine (JaDine), as well as the fans of Julia and Inigo (JulNigo), especially that the two love teams have respective teleseryes that will hit television soon - JaDine with "On The Wings Of Love" and JulNigo with "And I Love You So."

If there is truth to this rumor, James and Julia will be putting their (and their love teams') careers at risk if they decide to go on with whatever romantic relationship they have now. That is, if they won't be able to hide it. In this day and age of camera phones and social media, however, you can't go out together and hide at the same time.

Vice Ganda, against Valkyrie's no crossdressing policy

Vice Ganda took to Twitter to voice out his support to the LGBT community.

Vice Ganda

"To all members of the LGBT community: I AM ONE OF YOU AND I AM ONE WITH YOU," he wrote on Monday, June 22, 2015.

The comedian's post was with regards to the transgenders that were denied entry to Valkyrie, which he co-owns, because of the club's no crossdressing policy.

He also posted that he is willing to pull out his "very small share" as co-owner of Valkyrie, if the club really has that rule.

Vice Ganda 2

"The 'No Crossdressing Policy' in any establishment is so THIRD WORLD. If Valkyrie implements this crap i will pull out my very small share," he further tweeted.

The latest victim of the said club's policy was fashion designer Veejay Floresca who was reportedly denied entry for dressing as a woman.

She was allowed to get inside the club, however, when she showed her California State ID that states she is female.

Veejay Floresca

On her Facebook account, Veejay related what transpired. He wrote:

I don't like ranting on Facebook, but I think this issue needs to be solved. Last night, I went to Valkyrie with a friend. I was on guest list. When I was about to get in, the bouncer refused to let me in because according to dress code policy, they don't allow cross dresser. I smiled and showed them my California State ID. I said "I'm female. I don't live here, im from California." The bouncer apologized and allowed me to get inside. In my 3 years of living in the U.S. This never happened to me. To the people of Valkyrie, please have an open mind and understanding.

Valkyrie, meanwhile, released a statement through pep.ph, but the statement did not directly address the club's "no crossdresser policy."

Part of the statement reads:

The management of Valkyrie Nightclub (the ‘Club’) has been made aware of a recent incident in which certain individuals were denied entry into the Club.

Club management would like to apologize to these individuals if the denial of entry resulted in their embarrassment or made them feel disrespected in any way.

The Club does not refuse entry on the basis of an individual’s sexual orientation.

In denying entry to these individuals, the Club’s personnel were merely adhering to its safety policies and guidelines.

Pokwang to Leave the Philippines to Join Boyfriend Lee O’Brien in the U.S.


Is Pokwang willing to leave the country for the sake of love?

In an interview with Pang-Masa, the "Nathaniel" actress said she is open to leaving the Philippines to stay in the U.S. with her boyfriend Lee O’Brien as long as they are both ready and prepared for the “future.”

Kung nakahanda na siya, kung handa siya sa magiging future namin. Pero bakit naman ako pupunta na iiwanan ko ‘yung trabaho ko, na iri-risk ko (kung hindi pa ready)?” she said.

Pokwang and Lee meant while doing the movie “Edsa Woolworth,” which was shown in theaters last January. The actress said she and Lee, a working actor in America, officially a couple in February.

Is Lee also willing to stay in the Philippines for good? The actor is staying in the country until August to do a TV project.

Ako, okay lang kung ano ang desisyon niya. Basta ngayon, gusto ko munang mapatapos ang anak ko, makapagtayo ng negosyo, ‘yung next, bahala na,” Pokwang said.

Although she openly admits that she wants to be with Lee for the long haul, Pokwang reveals they haven’t discussed settling down in the near future. “Pero siyempre, looking forward naman. Pero dapat, pinaghahandaan, hindi basta-basta,”.

 “Mabait siya (Lee), eh. Saka magaling makisama. Ang nakakatawa, mas marami pa siyang alam sa history ng Pilipinas kaysa sa akin,” Pokwang quipped.
