Showbiz in a snap: Billy Crawford doesn’t want to talk about Coleen Garcia, and other news

Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.

1. BILLY CRAWFORD DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT COLEEN GARCIA

ABS-CBN News has a video interview with the singer, where he answered questions about his resolutions and plans for 2014. However, when asked about That Photo (Billy with Coleen – reportedly the third party/reason why Billy and Nikki Gil split – watching an NBA game in New York last Dec. 27), he replied, “I don’t think I need to speak right now.”

Okay.

Elmo himself revealed this to Pep.ph, and even ended up saying that she makes her happy whenever they talk. This is news to us because last time we checked Elmo was seeing Lauren Young, although neither of them confirmed their status as lovers. So, yes, it’s safe to say that Lauren is out, Janine is in.

Remember when Robin Padilla’s wife dropped by the ABS-CBN compound and appeared in the Ikaw Na! segment of Boy Abunda for Bandila? That fuelled talks about her return to the Kapamilya Network. No confirmation on that, but in case it happens, her close friend Bianca Gonzalez will be very happy about it. She shared with Pep that she’s been ready for Mariel’s comeback for the longest time, and that while they haven’t been seeing each other they do remain in touch. So what’s up with this Mariel-returning-to-ABS story? Well, Pinoy Big Brother Season 5 is just around the corner, and there are rumors that Mariel will be its host.

4. PHIL YOUNGHUSBAND ON LOSING ANGEL LOCSIN

[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”42642″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”600″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”600″}}]]

The footballer was a guest on a recent episode of the Ikaw Na! segment of Boy Abunda for Bandila, and he shared that the worst part of his 2013 was “losing someone I love.” That someone, of course, is ex-girlfriend Angel Locsin. Good thing they remain friends and actually keep in touch. Angel said in the past, however, that they avoid seeing each other because that won’t help them move on. As for Phil, a love life isn’t really his priority this 2014, so, sorry, girls.
