  • Iwa Moto is three months pregnant, according to an online media report.

    On Sunday, a website reported that it had chanced upon Iwa with current boyfriend Pampi Lacson at a shopping center in Alabang, Muntinlupa City and the actress showed her baby bump.

    Iwa was quoted as admitting that she is three months pregnant with Pampi’s child. Pampi is the estranged but legal husband of ABS-CBN star Jodi Sta. Maria, with whom he has a son, Thirdy. Iwa, meanwhile, is still married to former partner Mickey Ablan.

    The sexy star refused to divulge further details, the report said.

    Pregnancy to be announced?

    I got in touch with Iwa’s handlers to confirm the report but they expressed regret that they were not authorized to make a statement. They, however, indicated that Iwa will announce her condition in the coming days.

    Ironically, it was Iwa who publicly charged Jodi last year of having an extramarital affair with Mickey.

  • She might have hinted it in interviews and gave pointed messages to those involved, but this is the first time on live television that Jinkee Pacquiao has addressed the issue directly.

    Perhaps it might have been just water under the bridge, but Jinkee just wanted to let it all out once and for all.

    On ABS-CBN’s “Kris TV” recently, Jinkee admitted that she had seriously dealt with husband Manny Pacquiao’s womanizing, which she said was a result of the former pound-for-pound champ’s fame and the influence of those who surround him.

    The downside of fame

    "Medyo lumiko lang (si Manny) ng ibang landas,” Jinkee said. “Minsan naiimpluwensiyahan ka ng pagiging famous mo. Hindi kasi 'yun ang dati mong buhay and then parang nabigla ka.”

    Manny, she said, was overwhelmed with the appreciation he was getting, especially from women.

    “Ang alam niya may gusto na sa kanya, so grab the opportunity, go. Kaya dumarami sila, actually," Jinkee emphasized.

  • Are Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador’s physical confrontations in the top-rating drama “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” getting too real, given their rumored tiff?

    Kim and Maja taped a scene recently wherein their characters engaged in an intense fight, which had reportedly become too real for comfort.

    The actresses allegedly ended up severely bruised after the hair-pulling, slapping and scratching that supposedly went beyond what was in the script.

    Weeping Kim said to have stormed out of set

    A news report cited a source claiming Kim stormed out of the set weeping after Maja had checked on her if she was alright, forcing the crew to pack up.

    The show's writers claim it was merely “part of the story” but they admitted they might have been “motivated” to do scene.

    The two had been the best of friends until reports and Instagram images of Maja spending a weekend getaway in Davao with Kim’s former boyfriend Gerald Anderson emerged.

    “Can I end this once and for all?”

    That was Kris Aquino finally addressing the matter concerning her controversial love scene with Robin Padilla that almost ended Robin’s two-year marriage with Mariel Rodriguez.

    What complicated the matter was not the actual scenes in the teleserye “Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw” but Robin’s past romance with Kris.

    The scenes depicted Robin and Kris in a Jacuzzi and a quick shot showing them lying in bed together. While they were just acting, their chemistry seemed so real, it prompted Mariel to give her wedding ring back to Robin.

    Understands where Mariel is coming from

    “I was also young. I was also immature. Pinagdaanan ko rin naman ‘yan before kaya inunawa ko na lang,” Kris said in a press conference of the 2013 season of “Pilipinas Got Talent” last Feb. 13, apparently referring to Mariel’s reaction to her scene with Robin.

  • Constant rumors and reports on the break-ups and rocky relationships of celebrity couples can easily make fans jaded about love under the limelight.

    But of course,  a number of relationships and unions prove that showbiz love can indeed, work.

    Family first

    There’s Ariel Rivera and Gelli de Belen. Married since 1997, Ariel and Gelli strengthen  their marriage  by focusing on their “deeper connection” rather than just romance and passion.

    “Nawawala rin naman yung ganyang passion. Napapalitan ng mas deeper connection from years of being together and knowing each other for so many years. More than the romance, you will realize that this is even better,” Gelli told Yahoo! Philippines OMG! in an interview.

    Ariel said putting  family first is part of a happy marriage.

    “We prioritize family before anything else—before work, before hobbies, before anything else,” the Kapamilya actor said.

  • Here’s one more delightful accolade for Philippine cinema.

    “Bwakaw,” the endearing comedy drama starring Eddie Garcia, bagged two special awards in the 19th Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinema in France.

    The film, directed by multi-awarded writer-director Jun Robles Lana, won the Grand Prix de Jury International and the Emile Guimet award given by the Friends of the National Museum of Asian Arts of Paris.

    The recognitions are the latest for the critically-acclaimed film, which had been chosen to represent the Philippines in the choice of nominees for the 2013 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It failed to make the cut, however.

  • Amid the troubles facing his marriage, Cesar Montano is attempting to come clean.

    A few weeks after reports on yet another affair with an upcoming starlet, Cesar has reportedly surfaced to put the matter to rest.

    “I love my family and I will not do anything to destroy my family,” he was quoted as saying on Tuesday, Feb. 12.

    In separate reports, Cesar also indicated that he wants his children to grow up together with their mom and dad.

    “Gusto kong lumaki ang mga anak ko na magkasama kami ni Sunshine,” Cesar was further quoted as saying.

    An easy apology?

    It seems Cesar has handled this controversy as nothing more than preparing for his next showbiz project.

    It all seems so ordinary.

    Rumors about an adulterous affair involving the co-star of a current project might be devastating for other celebrities.

  • I was standing by the parking lot gate of saGuijo in Makati last Friday, Feb. 8, and found myself part of a queue of people that covered the entire street.

    It was the second night of the Kamikazee-Queso-Houndz tour.

    I couldn’t attend their first one last Feb. 4 because 70’s Bistro was packed to the brim. People started arriving early and by 8:30 p.m., the bar would no longer allow anyone in.

    So you could imagine the scene at saGuijo, a much smaller venue than 70’s Bistro, and on a Friday night at that.

    Sound muffled by packed crowd

    People spilled out to the streets and caused traffic. You could no longer hear the music from inside the bar because the sound had gotten so muffled by the number of people that packed the place.

    The Kamikazee-Queso-Houndz tour was collective effort by the three bands. Greyhoundz and Queso are the fathers of the local rock metal scene while Kamikazee has openly said that it considers Queso their
