VICE GANDA hosted a thanksgiving party for the press for the huge success of “Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy” and gave away Starmobile cellphones. Will he have another entry come next filmfest? “When I renewed my contract with ABS, Ma’am Charo and Sir Gabby said dapat may entry uli ako, pero wala pa namang project. What I want is to make a movie that is not an entry to the filmfest kasi baka masanay ang tao na tuwing filmfest lang ako pinapanood.”
How’s his lovelife now? “Basta masaya ang lovelife ko.”
How come he’s being linked to Ejay Falcon? “Noon, crush ko siya, pinapanood ko siya sa ‘Dugong Buhay’ nang nakahubad kaya ni-request kong maging leading man siya sa ‘Girl Boy’. Pero nang maging friends kami, nawala na ang malisya kasi pag naging friend ko na, mahirap nang landiin. Ang crush ko na ngayon, sina Enchong Dee and Enrique Gil. Pero magkasama kami ni Ejay sa concert tour ko sa U.S. Aalis kami on February 26 and we’ll be gone for two weeks.”
What really happened between him and “Showtime” co-host Karylle? “Ayokong pag-usapan ito kasi ayokong magsinungaling. May tampuhan kami, yes, but hindi ako galit sa kanya. Kinikibo ko siya dahil may trabaho kaming dapat gampanan. Ikukuwento ko na lang, kahit baka mapagalitan ako ng management. Sobrang minor nagsimula, e. Nung victory party ng ‘Boy Girl’, kinumbida ko silang lahat na kasama ko sa show pero wala si K. Noong una, sabi, kasi hindi ko raw siya invited. When she was told in-invite ko silang lahat, kasi raw wala siyang driver. Nang sabihing susunduin siya, sabi raw, tinatamad kasi siya. Sobrang mahal ko siya kaya nalungkot ako. Sabi ko, ba’t ganun, alam niyang mahalaga ito sa akin at part siya ng movie. Ang sakit naman ng dahilan niya, tinatamad lang. Hindi ko siya kinikibo pero nang dahil kay Vhong Navarro, binati ko siya dahil I feel we all have to make a stand as a group for Vhong. So okay na kami. Then n ag-absent siya, may sakit daw. Pero nakita siya ng director naming si Bobot Vidanes somewhere and asked her ba’t absent siya. She told Direk Bobot daw na umiiwas siya sa’kin kasi sobrang nao-offend si Yael (Yuzon, Karylle’s fiancĂ©) na sa dami raw ng puedeng i-pair sa kanya, bakit ako ang ginawang ka-love team niya sa show. Sobrang fed up na raw si Yael at gustong sumugod daw sa studio. Nasaktan ako. Anong offensive sa pagiging bakla ko? ‘Showtime’ empowers the gay minority through ‘That’s My Tomboy’ and ‘I’m PoGay’. Na-offend pala sa’kin so di iiwas na lang ako sa kanya at baka bugbugin pa ko ng jowa niya. Later on, she denied ever saying it. Siempre, si Direk Bobet ang nagtaka. Bakit binago mo ang story mo? Ano, pag-aawayin ko kayo ni Vice? Honestly, I don’t need the love team kasi mas kailangan niya yun kaysa sa akin. Ayoko talagang ipareha ako sa kanya, e. It’s the staff who said, sige na , for Karylle. So now, let’s just do our job. Dedma na ko sa love team na yan. We can still be friends naman at puede pang magtrabaho nang maayos. Nag-sorry na siya sa’kin. She sent me flowers with a card saying sorry.”
What if she invites him to her wedding? “Hindi pa ako okay sa emotions ko so I’d rather not go. Basta I’m so happy for her and her jowa. They deserve to be happy. Happy naman sila so let’s just be happy for them. Kung nagkasala ako sa kanila, sana mapatawad nila ako.”

Vice Ganda on Why She Has A Rift With 'SHOWTIME' Co-host Karylle
Marian Rivera Gives First Batch of Bancas She Solicited for Bantayan Island Farmers Affected by Yolanda
MARIAN RIVERA went to Bantayan Island in Northern Cebu the other day to personally give to the fishermen there the bancas that she acquired for them through the Kapuso-adopt-A-Bangka Project. “I’m so thankful that after only a month, nakakuha kami agad ng maraming bangka and I’d personally like to thank all the donors and sponsors for their generous help”, she says. “Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nakibahagi sa proyektong ito. Sa mga nais pang tumulong, you can do online in kapusoadoptabangkapjoject.blogspot.com. Help is hope. Let’s be one-at-heart with our Kapusong Cebuanos.”
Marian also had a great time promoting “Carmela” with leading man Alden Richards in Bicol. I feel so fortunate that GMA gives us the opportunity to tour the country and meet our supporters na talaga namang sinusubaybayan ang ‘Carmela’ gabi-gabi,” she says. “Sa February 22, Saturday, abangan nyo naman kami for our ‘Carmela’ promo tour sa Baguio as part of their Panagbenga Festival.”
This week in “Carmela”, Alden as Yago will go back with her mom, Jaclyn Jose as Trixie, back to their town in Sta. Maria so he feels sad that he won’t see Marian as Carmela anymore. There, he meets his Uncle Dante (Raymond Bagatsing), the brother of his Lola Fides (Laurice Guillen). What he doesn’t know is that Carmela will follow him there to fulfil her plan of taking revenge on his Lolo Fernando (Roi Vinzon), who stole the image of the Virgin Mary. Everyone is amazed at the beauty of Carmela, especially Dante who will eventually get obsessed with her. By chance, Amanda (Agot Isidro) sees Carmela and thinks of her daughter, but Carmela is called by someone with her current name, Catarina. Carmela finds out that her friend Alliyah (Jennica Garcia) is the bastard daughter of Dante while Janine (Krystal Reyes) is the bastard daughter of Fernando.

Roxanne Cabanero Files Rape Case Against Vhong Navarro
Roxanne Cabanero Files Rape Case Against Vhong Navarro
Another rape complaint was filed by a certain Roxanne Cabanero on Wednesday against Vhong Navarro amid the controversy involving the actor-host and model Deniece Cornejo, who has accused him of sexually assaulting her on January 22.
The rape charge was filed around 4 p.m. at the Pasig City Prosecutor's Office by Cabanero and her legal counsel, Atty. Virgilio Batalla.
In a phone interview on "Aquino and Abunda Tonight" on Wednesday night, Batalla said the alleged rape took place in 2010.
"Ang biktima po ng rape ay may 20 taon para mag-file ng kaso. At ang kliyente ko ay 4 na taon lamang (pagkatapos noong nangyari), kaya hindi gaano katagal iyon," the lawyer said.
Asked by host Kris Aquino how he came to be the alleged victim's legal counsel, Batalla said, "Ako po ang chairman ng Lingap Pinoy Foundation na nagbibigay ng libreng abugado sa mga taong nangangailangan lalo na sa mga walang kakayahan."
"Lumapit po sa akin ang biktimang ito dahil siya ay nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob dahil sa mga nangyayari, iyong pangyayari na may nagsampa kay Vhong Navarro ng rape. Dahil nakita niya na puwede palang mangyari ito nang paulit-ulit sa ibang babae katulad niya," he said referring to the case of Cornejo.
Vhong's lawyer Atty. Alma Mallonga, however, downplayed the new rape complaint.
"Gusto lang namin sabihin na kahit naman sino ay puwede mag-kaso. Ang tanong ay kaya mo ba patunayan iyung paratang? May ebidensya ka ba?" Atty. Alma Mallonga said in a separate interview on "Aquino and Abunda Tonight."
She said the filing was "not unexpected."
Mallonga questioned the motive and timing of the new complaint.
"Some weeks ago, Cedric (was) saying that he's been talking to some women and I understand that his lawyer has said na mayroon silang pasabog," Mallonga revealed.
"Hindi kami nagulat kasi intindi pa nga namin that this is just the first of others," she added.
Mallonga also responded to speculation that the new case was inspired by Cornejo's allegations against the actor.
"If you're saying that you were inspired by the rape complaint of Deniece, alam na natin na hindi iyun nangyari. Impossible dahil nakita natin sa ating dalawang mata na hindi iyon nangyari, that you cannot rape who was not there. You cannot witness a rape when the victim is not even there," she said.
Mallonga said Navarro is aware of the new case and the actor is keen on facing the charges and proving his innocence.
"This has made him more determined to see this thing through," she said.
Who is Roxanne Cabanero, the alleged other rape victim of Vhong Navarro?
Roxanee is a beauty queen wannabe from Davao. She joined the Binibining Pilipinas pageant in 2011 but was disqualified after nude photos of her posted in a porn site surfaced.

Vice Ganda Might Not Attend Karylle and Yael Yuzon Wedding
Vice Ganda Might Not Attend Karylle and Yael Yuzon Wedding
"May tampuhan o wala?"
Fans are now asking why comedian Vice Ganda is having second thoughts on whether he'll attend or not the "picnic-themed" wedding of It's Showtime co-host Karylle with Spongecola vocalist Yael Yuzon this coming March 12 at a private resort in Tagaytay.
In an interview with ABS-CBNNewscom, the 32-year-old singer neither confirmed nor denied her supposed rift with Vice Ganda, instead, she said: "Super love ko si Vice. He is just somebody that I really love. Sa kanya akong natuto na tumawa and just let go and have fun. That's all I have to say about that. Hopefully, maka-attend siya ng wedding."
Vice, on the other hand, confirmed that he and Karylle are not in good terms saying their misunderstanding started long before the Vhong Navarro mauling incident happened.
The reasons?
Karylle failed to show-up the thanksgiving party for the success of Vice Ganda's MMFF movie "Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy". According to Vice, Karylle raised several reasons which he thought were unacceptable. "Sabi nya nung una, kase daw di sya invited. Tapos biglang wala daw kase syang driver. Yun pala tinatamad lang siya."
Vice also revealed that he started to let go of their playtime loveteam called "Vicerylle" as Yael, according to Karylle, is not okay with it. "Kase may nagsabi sa akin na naiilang na daw sya [Karylle] sa akin kase nao-offend daw yung guy [Yael] kung bakit ipinapareha sa bading ang girlfriend niya."
