As opposed to those who have a fatalistic attitude, truth is, in life there are no coincidences.
Bagama’t hindi ko na lubos na maalala, early ’70s (during my teens) nung mapanood ko ang pelikulang Love Story starring Ryan O’Neil paired with an actress whose name slipped my memory. Sa kuwento, Ryan lost his wife who died of cancer.
Many years later (2009), in real life, Ryan lost a would-be wife in Farrah Fawcett na sumikat via Charle’s Angels na kapanahunan ko rin. As we all know, anal cancer naman ang ikinamatay nito.

Hindi pa man ganap na inilulunsad via her teleserye on GMA 7, ikinukumpara na si Carla Abellana sa kanyang predecessor na si Marian Rivera in terms of looks, character, and mass appeal.
Sa ibang aspeto ay nakalalamang si Carla lalo’t kung finesse at social graces ang pag-uusapan. But Marian is head and shoulders above pagdating naman sa charisma sa masa. And while Marian has proven her bankability many times over, may dapat pang patunayan si Carla.
A cross between Angelique Lazo (na pinaputi) and Isabel Granada, hindi maikakaila na malaking banta si Carla sa career ni Marian, whether the latter admits it or not.

Nilamon na rin pala ng showbiz ang anak ni Senator Manny Villar na si Mark who’s gunning for the lone congressional seat in Last Piñas this coming elections.
Third and last term na kasi ng kanyang inang si Rep. Cynthia Villar whose political path thereafter is uncertain for now.
Mula rin sa real estate business si Mark, a graduate of the University of Philadelphia, na hindi mo aakalaing updated din pala sa mga showbiz news! Thanks to Lolit Solis who, for the record, has ‘‘de-politicized’’ even the hardcore lawmakers who have comfortably gained entry into the world of showbiz!
Sa katunayan, maraming binanggit si Mark na mga celebrity crushes niya, ranging from the ‘‘disgrasyada’’ to the deserving ones, dangan nga lang at umiiral ang kanyang pagiging maginoo in choosing not to name them.
Da who po ba ito lalo’t si ’Nay Lolit ang nag-iintro ng segment na ito?

Speaking of “da who,” sana’y hindi totoo na meron ding sex video ang isang male TV host, pero hindi girlalu ang kasama niya. Lalaki, of course!
If proven true, lalo tuloy nagkaroon ng credence o pagtitibay sa tsismis that the host in question is one of us. Sirena? Well, his last TV role was close to it.
