54. Most in need to stop exploiting the past — Past lovers Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta who should leave the pakilig thing to Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo. There is nothing cute or kilig about two middle-aged parents feigning flirtation on prime time. Their hot teleserye, Walang Hanggan, has had its hit run. No more need for public titillation. Of course, it’s all in the spirit of fun, no indiscretion there. But there’s a thing called tasteless fun, even bad clean fun. If their respective spouses are not embarrassed or uneased, they should be.

78. Most fun, if mindless, movie in ages — Sisterakas

79. Most remotest, unlikeliest, improbabliest, impossibliest possibility — Kris Aquino and Robin Padilla re-igniting a dormant, forbidden flame. Ayaw ni Allah ng ganyan! But honestly now, anyone saying he/she didn’t steam up by the ex-lovers’ honeymoon scenes in Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw is lying through his/her molars.

80. Most deathless utterance of all time by a then teenstar — “God was with us when we did it” (but was nowhere during her wanton food binges).

81. Most amusingly dishonest line ever uttered by an endorser in a TV commercial: “Kasi girl, hindi ako bitin!” So why for did she sob an ocean during that televised crack-up?

82. Most grown up without getting old — Martin Nievera

83. Most welcome sign of aging — When you start appreciating the ripe charms of Pilar Pilapil. Tip: Do watch Ina Kapatid Anak.

86. Most likely seeking pre-Lent contrition for a career misstep — Sharon Cuneta.

87. Most needing to be warned not to be too hopeful — The winners of the many network talent hunts, most of whom will just end up floating in the ozone. Anyone remember Jerome Sala or Pau Whatshername?
