Kris Aquino and James Yap's separation: Their marriage is over

Anyone who has watch Sunday's The Buzz probably knows the news. Kris Aquino and James Yap have already decided to separate - not temporarily, not on a whim, not separate beds but separate lives. Kris stated on The Buzz, "Sumuko na'ko."

That's all we know and that's all we need to know. Kris is not going to let the whole country into the details of their marital problems. She only explained that she and James Yap have already tried so hard to fix the problems in their relationship for the sake of Baby James and Josh. We all know that. Kris Aquino has said numerous times that she will do her best to save her marriage because she wants a father for her kids.

But it seems that this is the really the end of the road for Kris Aquino and James Yap.

We all know she's the drama queen. But watching her on The Buzz last Sunday... you can feel that her words were said with caution and her decision was given with much thought. This is not another whim from an immature relationship. I thought, when I watched her, this could be one of the rare times I saw her with much maturity.

What happened?

We all want to know that. I bet all people would speculate. We would go back to James Yap's links with other women - that employee from Dr. Vicky Belo's office (what's her name again?) and Mayen Austria in Valle Verde.

Personally - I think Kris Aquino has done a lot for her marriage. She quit the movies to give time to her family. She refused any kissing scene for James' sake. Well maybe she worked a little too hard in the past months to aid her brother Noynoy in the campaigns. But what is wrong with that? I imagine maybe she lost time for her family juggling work and campaigns - doesn't anybody realize how hard that is? I bet she's really exhausted by now. Really.

On the other hand, we don't know James' side. We don't know for sure what really happened. We all know... it's really sad. The news could make it to the headlines of Inquirer or The Philippine Star if it could. Despite being herself, we all want Kris Aquino to finally settle down with a good marriage, right? Afterall, we would all be spared from her love-drama when that happens.

*Kris Aquino also said goodbye to The Buzz. She quit from being the show's host to minimize complaints about her and her tactless self and not cause further embarassment to her brother, Noynoy.s

John Lloyd admits relationship with Shaina Magdayao

... which is not surprising at all.

You know that feeling when the news' subject comes out to reveal the secret that everybody already knows? Like Ricky Martin being gay? Well this story is like that to me.

The story of John Lloyd and Shaina Magdayao being together is no shocker. Everybody knows they're going out. Everybody knows that they were alone together for some time in Boracay when ASAP XV was there. They've been sighted by no less than Kris Aquino herself in Shangri-La. There are awkwards moments between John Lloyd and John Pratts.

So many John Lloyd said, "yes, it is us" (is that a valid English expression for "kami nga"?) Boy Abunda on The Buzz continues to more juicy questions. Is John Lloyd a womanizer? Was there a time that Ruffa and Shaina were in his heart at the same time?

And the answers to those questions are not so interesting at all. He continues to be vague, only saying that the issue is already over and that the persons involved have already talked it over and are now okay. Nag-usap na, okay na... Same old showbiz answers.

Oh well, the people already know the answers.

Charice made it on GLEE! Let's Party!

It wasn't true then. But IT IS. NOW!

Charice, our very own young international singing sentation has indeed made it to Glee Season 2. This is not a running rumor, this time, folks. Michael Ausiello and Andy Patrick of the Entertainment Weekly announced that the news is true and that Charice is going to be on Glee Season 2.

Reports say that Charice's role will be a rival of Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). That part is really exciting! At last, Charice will be part of something in her own age group.

Aside from the Entertainment Weekly report, Charice herself also announced the news on her Twitter account:

There are so many people thrilled about this news. Those who are yet to get familiar with Charice are asked by Charice fans to watch her on YouTube.

There are a few concerns though by Glee fans:

1. 
   
   Can Charice act?
2. 
   
   Does Glee need more characters given that other characters on Glee ie. Mike and Matt barely have dialogues and that the others need more character development

Let me give a few comments. On Q1, Charice can act. She was in an MMK episode, right? Plus I don't think that Charice should have superb acting skills on Glee. Because I don't think Quinn, Santana and Britney do. And the rest, well.... I think in Glee, the good actors are Rachel, Will and Sue.

And just let me say, Finn can't dance.

On Q2, I really think New Directions need more members. Just look at Vocal Adrenaline. Damn, they're really good and they can do a lot and rule the stage because of their numbers, too. On a side note, I honestly think that Vocal Adrenaline deserved to win in the Regionals. And it seemed to be that their sectionals performance was better than what they did in the Regionals. Just saying.

I think that if New Directions has as many members as Vocal Adrenaline, all of them should not have a part in the storyline. It would be a huge mess.

I think Glee needs more characters before they marry Will to Ms. Corcoran. Or Mercedes develops a relationship with Quinn. Come on! The relationships got a little messy after that sectionals episode. They need to expand before it gets crazy.

So there. This is news is so big Charice is now a trending topic on Twitter. Follow Charice

Watch Charice's "Pyramid" with Iyaz.

Charice Rocks! ('Pyramid' lyrics inside!)

Charice and her single "Pyramid" continues to soar high up the charts producing crowds of fans for our young Pinoy singing sensation. Charice has indeed become a star bigger than she ever imagined in her life.

Just recently, she performed at the annual KFest at the Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill, New York. The KFest is a hugue event which featured other big stars like Adam Lambert and of course, her Pyramid partner, rapper Iyaz.

Charice couldn't be happier as the crowd sang with her as she performed "Pyramid".

Charice mentioned before that she really liked the song not only because of the music but also because of its well-formed and compelling lyrics. Don't know what she's talking about? Below are the lyrics of the famous international song. Sing with Charice!

The Mariel Rodriguez and Zanjoe Marudo Break-up

Mariel Rodriguea and Zanjoe Marudo are now declared ex-couples. Each of them talked about the break-up issue and there should be no speculation whether they really broke up or not. It is true.

Zanjoe is back to being an eligible bachelor.

Anyway, as always, many people speculate that the reason for the break-up is a third-party slut who gets in the way of a happy couplehood. The third-party speculation is like an echo always ringing whenever there's a break-up -- people like juicy controversies. It's as if the break-up is a boring story if it didn't end in infidelity.

There are rumors that Robin Padilla has been courting Mariel Rodriguez during his host stint in 'Wowowee'. Robin apparently gives special attention to Mariel among the many lady hosts of Wowowee. If you were Mariel and has to choose between Zanjoe and Robin, who would you rather pick?

However, Mariel denied that there's something going on between her and Binoy. Robin said whatever's between him and Mariel stays in the four corners of their noontime show - and frankly, that could mean anything.

Both Mariel and Zanjoe denied rumors of third-party issue regarding the break-up. So you ask, why did they split up?

Priority issues, I guess.

Mariel disclosed that her ex-boyfriend had been giving much priority to his family than her - which is really a typical Filipino couple-issue. Over the course of their relationship, it could be somehow observed that Mariel seemed more into the guy than the other way around. She expressed her affection more on TV. And anyone remember the silver necklace - branded bag issue?

Most likely, Mariel couldn't take it anymore that Zanjoe lacked in the department of showing his affection/love to his girlfriend. Maybe Mariel felt she loved him more that he did.

But we could only speculate. Afterall, showbiz is all about speculation.

The Ultimate Dying Wish: NOT GRANTED!

I just recently come across this story that was way back in 2003.

All Josh Morten wanted before he died was a blow job from Cameron Diaz. The 15-year old leukemia patient from Philadelphia didn't ask for much in his 4-year struggle with the terminal illness. His father said he didn't complain much nor asked for big things so when the boy asked for his fantasy to be fulfilled, his parents did everything to make it come true.

And of course, they failed. Josh Morten died without getting his dying wish.

The parents are quite mad at Cameron Diaz. They did their best to contact her but all they got were request denials. Josh's father ranted complaining about women like Cameron who is pretty much well-off and yet couldn't grant a dying teen's request.

It must be really sad for the side of the parents because all they ever wanted was to make their dying son happy. Surely their intentions were clean; thinking only for what's best for their son, Josh.

On the other hand, I only wish that they eventually came to their senses and forgave Cameron Diaz for not granting the wish. Imagine if Cameron did it -- I'm sure thousands of dying people would beg for the same thing. Should the actress grant all of their requests?

Come on, Cameron Diaz is a woman -- a human being who deserves some respect. She is not some kind of charitable slut who's going to go down on a dying person.

And the tone of the dad about some women being filthy rich and yet couldn't grant a request from a "far less fortunate" and dying teen.

People, shouldn't we stop looking at people as social class, as money, as fame? People are people. Human beings. Are being less fortunate and dying excuses for a teen or any person to disrespect a person more fortunate?
Let me stray from the sad story and rant for a while:

All people deserve some respect. Less fortunate ones does not have the right to exploit the rich ones. I don't understand why many people, especially here in the Philippines, could almost crucify rich people or politicians when they steal from the country when they, themselves, steal from their own offices, their friends, etc. Many do not pay proper taxes and always try to evade due payment -- isn't that stealing from the country? Stealing is stealing.

When parents lie to their children, the episode would be MMK-worthy. Sons and daughters would go ballistic and would be crying rivers of tears, "Nagsinungaling kayo eh!" I bet they lied more times to their parents about a sleep-over or money for a "project" in school. Lying is lying.

I really wonder how is it a lesser crime if a less fortunate did it to a more fortunate one.

Willie Resign!!

It's been the talk of the town aside from the national elections. Willie Revillame dedicated Wowowee air time to lash out on Jobert Sucaldito for bashing him and the noon time show.

The ire was so evident. Willie is mad. And then the people are mad. Despite the claps on the set, boo's all over the internet echoes. They shout, "So you say you'll resign? JUST DO IT!!"

The last straw that prompted Willie to lash out on TV is the recent comment of Jobert Sucaldito in his radio show: Bakit gine-guest sa Wowowee ang mga batang bagsak ang grades?

I'm sure Willie found a good reason to retort, saying that Wowowee is a show for everyone, including failing student, garbage collectors, cancer patients and others.

POINT: A failing student is WAAAY different from being a garbage collector or being a cancer patient. Failing is a result of irresponsibility. Poverty is not even a good excuse because there are many poor students who are quite motivated. They work and study hard to be scholars. Those are the students who are worth mentioning. On the other hand, hailing failed students is not a motivation for them to study for their futures. May Wowowee naman, bakit pa?

Willie even mentioned something about campaigns and supporters. He thinks that Jobert, who is a The Buzz host is biased against him because he supports Villar. ambabaw...

Willie scolded the ABS-CBN management for tolerating mudslinging among members of the network. He stressed that they are "kapamilya" and that they shouldn't be hurling at each other who are under the same roof. He scolded the management like they're HIS staff.

He then threatened to resign if ABS-CBN would not do something about Jobert Sucaldito. Wow. Spoiled brat.

He's saying that they should be like one happy family and not criticize one another. Oh, but I thought that family should be your number one critics. I thought they should be the one who first notices the problems with you before someone hits you in the face. My point is, Jobert is being family to Willie; the management is not.

Jobert thinks, is he and his show that big for Willie to be affected by his hurls?

Sabi nga po, "BATO, BATO SA LANGIT ANG TAMAAN, WAG MAGAGALIT".

They are all over the internet. No, not jejemons. Willie haters. There are hundreds of comments on PEP, Facebook, Facebook fan pages, even the poll on the ABS-CBN website show that many people disapprove of Willie's action.
