Juday and other women in love

Curtain-raisers:

• Have you ever wondered what the secret is behind Senate President Frank Drilon’s new "hair-full" look? "Nagpa-rebond," says Kris Aquino.

• Ruffa Gutierrez is coming home from Turkey for a vacation with daughters Lorin and Venice second week of September. "The first ever Formula 1 grand prix will be held here next week and all flights are booked," Ruffa tells Funfare. "Donita (Rose) can’t get even a seat."

• Don’t forget to tune in to the new "alternative" radio program Wow, ang Showbiiiz! on RMN DZXL (558 AM) starting Monday, Aug. 15, 10 a.m. to 12 noon, Monday to Friday. With Ogie Diaz (Miss O) and Fernan de Guzman (Miss F) as hosts, the show will be a riot, I’m sure.

• From reader Anselmo "Ardee" Roque, Systems Administrator, High Court of American Samoa, Pago-Pago, American Samoa: This is in reference to your Is the young actress a battered girlfriend? item. In the fourth paragraph, your Funfare DPA stated that the boyfriend "can make a 360-degree turn and become violent." Literally, it means that the guy is really violent as he is executing a "roundabout kick" or something similar. Otherwise, it should be just a 180-degree turn. (Yes, korek ka dyan! – RFL)

Judy Ann Santos leads the list of women in showbiz who are in love – with Ryan Agoncillo, of course. They make such a beautiful pair on screen and off. In last week’s Maalaala Mo Kaya, the small screen sparked with their presence, especially during the romantic scenes, whose highlight was a lips-to-lips kissing scene, at once tender and passionate.

Juday plays a GRO, a single parent, and Ryan an Amboy. The episode, entitled Rosario, beat Magpakailanman in the ratings race.

In important showbiz occasions, Ryan is Juday’s constant escort . . . to the delight of fans. Even her combative manager, Alfie Lorenzo.

What happens now to Piolo Pascual, Juday’s favorite partner in movies and on TV? Let it be said that the Juday-Piolo romance is purely showbiz.

Blindly in love are Anna Leah Javier and Criselda Volks.

Anna Leah cried oncam that boyfriend of three years John Apacible hurt her physically and emotionally. She said she didn’t deserve such a treatment, "Nag-aral ako, hindi ako kaladkarin. Nahihiya ako sa aking parents." But the St. Paul alumna confessed she still loved John.

Criselda, who’s been living in with Cris Villanueva for 10 years, is singing a similar tune. She’s split with Cris for the nth time, accusing him of every "crime" in the book. But when asked if this time she’d no longer reconcile with Cris, Criselda sighed, she couldn’t say with finality as, "I still love him."

Love is, indeed, blind.

Kristine Hermosa is asking a Makati court to declare her marriage to Diether Ocampo null and void. But Tintin hastened to add she still loves Diet, "Gusto ko lang itama ang mali." Rather confusing.

Sandara Park never hid the fact that Joseph Bitangcol is her boyfriend, even if she is being paired with Hero Angeles oncam. The "krung krung" girl from Korea recently made a flying visit to Manila to attend the birthday party of a friend and, of course, see Joseph. By the way, Hero is concentrating on his studies at UP, where he’s taking up Fine Arts.

The list of women in love should, by all means, include Claudine Barretto (with Raymart Santiago) and Kris Aquino (James Yap). They are getting married early next year. A church wedding for Kris and James and a garden wedding for Claudine and Raymart.

As of this writing, Jennylyn Mercado is IN LOVE with Mark Herras. But expect her to be OUT OF LOVE in no time – and again in love just as fast. That’s the story of their lovelife, galit-bati.
