Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. CLAUDINE DENIES SHE’S A DRUG USER
In a press con yesterday, Oct. 1, held in Rembrandt Hotel in Quezon City, Claudine emphasized that she is not a druggie and wished that hubby Raymart Santiago, who is behind the drug use allegations, would consider how their kids would feel about all this mess, especially because their two children are with Claudine. So what’s up with the vid of Claudine injecting her arm with “drugs” – according to Raymart, that is? She was actually injecting Gerovital H3, which has the local anesthetic procaine hydrochloride as main ingredient. It also contains little amounts of benzoic acid, potassium metabisulfite, and disodium phosphate – which are not included in the list of Dangerous Drugs Act as regulated or prohibited drugs. Claudine added that Raymart himself uses it, and that she had no idea he was taking video clips of her injecting her arm with it. Claudine has also undergone a drug test – and passed it! She dared Raymart to do the same.

Admit it, it’s really hard to believe that someone gorgeous and sexy like Jinri Park would go for someone… ordinary-looking like Ramon Bautista, but the sexy Korean has revealed that after guesting in Edu Manzano’s TV5 talk show What’s Up, Doods?, she now looks at him differently. “Funny thing is, at first it was parang joke lang,” she said. “And then you know, I actually find him really attractive now. As in out of 10 – 10 being the highest – Jinri gives the funnyman a score of 8. “I’m not the type who goes for physical looks,” she told Edu. “He’s so funny. And he’s very smart, too.”
3. YNNA ASISTIO DENIES SHE’S THE REASON BEHIND DEREK-CRISTINE SPLIT

Have you gotten over how after less than a month, Derek Ramsay and Cristine Reyes have called it quits? Still no reason behind the split, but some people are saying that actress Ynna Asistio is the cause of the break-up. However, she clarified things by telling Mario Dumaual of ABS-CBN: “Gusto ko lang i-clear: Si Derek at si Cristine, matagal ko ng kaibigan. Gusto ko lang i-clear sa lahat na never akong niligawan ni Derek. Magkaibigan kami.”

The love team of Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona has a LOT of fans – super supportive, passionate, and vocal fans. So when Julie Anne was paired with Kristoffer Martin in the new primetime soap Kahit Nasaan Ka Man, they didn’t take that sitting down. In a video interview with Pep.ph, Kristoffer shared that he has been getting a lot of hate from online bashers saying that Elmo is better than him and that he’s not a good fit with Julie Anne. So how does he deal with all the hate? He just keeps silent and refuses to reply. He admits feeling hurt, however. But he never entertained the idea of not saying yes to the project when it was offered to him because it’s work – it’s a blessing. So let’s see how this new love team, known as KrisLie, will be received by people in the next few weeks.
