Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. ANOTHER WOMAN CLAIMS VHONG NAVARRO RAPED HER
It looks like Deniece Cornejo isn’t the only one allegedly raped by the It’s Showtime host. Another woman has just cried rape. According to her legal counsel, Atty. Virgilio Batalla (who happens to be the chairman of Lingap Pinoy Foundation), the victim approached him and asked for help, realizing that what happened to her could happen to other women. On the other hand, Vhong’s lawyer said they expected this, especially because some weeks ago, Cedric Lee (the guy who beat up Vhong) supposedly said that he’s been talking to some women and that Cedric’s lawyer supposedly said they have a pasabog.
Fashion Pulis just posted something on this issue, asking whether Roxanna Cabanero, a pageant hopeful, is the other girl who filed rape charges against Vhong. Interesting

Not all is well between the It’s Showtime hosts, Vice sharing that two things responsible for this: Karylle not attending the victory party of her movie (Boy Girl Bakla Tomboy) because of different reasons (she wasn’t invited/no driver/she was lazy); and Karylle’s boyfriend not liking Karylle’s love team with Vice (yes, they have a love team). The best part about this whole thing? One line from Vice: “Kumbaga, hindi naman sa pagmamayabang. Ayoko sabihin, pero let’s face it, let’s be real – mas makakatulong iyon sa kanya kaysa sa akin.” (Photo: Vice Ganda’s Facebook page)

The Diamond Star just signed a program contract with the Kapuso Network yesterday, Feb. 19. Yes, it’s just a program contract, so hopefully (and we have a good feeling about this – we’re talking about Maria, after all), her show, tentatively entitled Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real, will do good. She will be starring with Dingdong Dantes and Lovi Poe here. Exciting!
4. NIKKI GIL IS DATING A NON-SHOWBIZ GUY

Finally! Nikki has moved on and has admitted that she is dating someone who happens to be not part of showbiz, unlike her ex, Billy Crawford. Nikki shared with Kris Aquino in the show Kris TV that they have a lot of common friends and that “everyone assumed that kilala na namin ang isa’t isa pero hindi talaga, Ateneo days pa lang.” She added that “he has work, an adult job,” clarifying that it’s very different from what she does (showbiz). we’ll see where this goes.

This is what Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw star Joyce Ching learned when she had an encounter with the veteran host/actress. Joyce was having her face made up when G entered the dressing room. Joyce said, “Hi, Tita G!” G replied, “What Tita? Nobody calls me Tita. You can call me G or Miss G.” Joyce reasoned to Pep.ph that she was just being courteous, using the term that everyone uses. Apparently, G doesn’t like the term. But Joyce says that while G delivered it seriously, she wasn’t really mad, and that everything seems to be all right. (Photo: joeysching Instagram account)
