Is she or isn’t she — turning Kapamilya, that is?
Said Lorna, “Hindi pa. I’m just promoting Daboy’s movies sa ABS-CBN. Hindi pa kami nagkakausap ni Ms. Malou (Santos, a Kapamilya exec).”
So, there’s a...”possibility”?

A news item yesterday mentioned in passing that former Sen. Ralph Recto said no to be the new SSS head (Romulo Neri is “it”) because his wife, Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos, is running for vice president in 2010 under the administration ticket, with Vice President Noli de Castro as running mate.
True or false?
Said Vilma, “Nope! I’m not, in all honesty. My focus is Batangas.”
Could it be true that Sen. Bong Revilla is bent on running for that position?
Bong is mum, smiling enigmatically.

“I’m keeping my fingers crossed,” said Cher in a text message from L.A.
