Hindi man niya aminin, it’s an open secret na hindi pa nakikipag-ayos si Lotlot de Leon sa inang si Nora Aunor. On at least two occasions, isang ever-smiling Lotlot ang lagi kong nakakasalubong sa GMA 7 compound: A gesture that I would describe as a polite way of declining interviews that had anything to do with her mom.
Unlike most stars who literally turn their backs on pursuing reporters, may kakaibang paraan si Lotlot na mahihiya na ang sinumang mangahas na interbyuhin siya.
Of the issues attributed to Lotlot, pinakainteresado ang press kung ano’ng reaksyon niya now that her Mama Guy is a full-pledged green card holder. Does Lotlot’s smile translate to ‘‘care ko?’’ answer?

There’s no denying the fact that Senator Jamby Madrigal has a lot to thank Judy Ann Santos for. A virtual political tyro, only our forebears knew the illustrious Madrigals until Juday introduced Jamby to the awe-struck nation.
Usap-usapan that Sen. Jamby is trying her luck anew in the 2010 elections, again tapping her showbiz endorser to ensure victory. Itinanggi na ni Juday na inalok siyang muli ng senadora, no such arrangement has ever been made yet.
Pero kung sakali, hindi perang pantapat sa kanyang endorsement ang habol ni Juday, kundi ang kanyang paniniwala sa kakayahan ng politiko. Kung babasahin ’yon sa pagitan ng mga linya, any keen observer would readily discover a revealing truth.
May kung anong aberya bang namagitan sa pagkuha noon ni Jamby kay Juday that will make the nation even more awe-struck?

Kahit ilan lang ang kumbinsido na isang vegan o vegetarian si Yasmien Kurdi, her slim figure these days is enough to allay her peers’ suspicion.
Kung dati, Yasmien was bursting at the seams at madalas pagtripan ng mga reporters sa kanilang mga kolum, ginamit ito ng young actress to adopt a serious diet regimen. At ang resulta: A magazine pictorial showing how he has incredibly shed off those flabs!
Call it a chance to be slim, not slim chance.
