The noontime show sure knows how to handle competition. Remember how they came up with “That’s My Tambay,” their answer to the popular It’s Showtime! segment called “That’s My Tomboy”? Now they’ve come up with another interesting and entertaining segment, “You’re My Foreignoy,” featuring foreigners (good-looking, of course) doing challenges that involve Tagalog words and phrases. We’re definitely tuning in for this. Watch a sample episode above!

“Legally and technically,” she says, because she’s not yet married and no one has adopted Ellie. As for the little one’s biological father, actor Albie Casino, she thinks he doesn’t even wanna meet her. She emphasizes that she will never lie to her daughter: She’s not going to hide anything from her regarding her father. But as for the two of them meeting, Andi says it depends on when Ellie wants it to happen. She’ll make sure, however, that she will do this for Ellie and not for Albie. She adds that she is not getting any form of support from Albie’s camp, even financially. (Photo: andieigengirl Instagram account)

The Songbird’s dad, Mang Gerry (Gerardo Velasquez), passed away last Monday, due to a cardiac arrest, and Regine shared with “Buzz ng Bayan” how the day before, her father already didn’t look well. “He looked pale and parang yellowish siya, very unusual. He was in pain but ino-observe lang siya ng mga doctors. Nung 11pm, my mother decided to rush him to the hospital,” she said. Regine revealed that last year, when Mang Gerry got operated on and was recuperating, he had pneumonia several times and they thought that they were going to lose him. “I was not ready.”

Looks like it. Last Sunday in StarTalk, host Lolit Solis asked Heart if this year’s going to be her last Valentine’s Day as a single woman, and she said yes. She even looked at her boyfriend, Senator Chiz Escudero, and said, “I’m very confident. Babe, very confident.” Heart also clarified that they don’t live in one house; they just live in the same village. She also shared that Chiz’s gift for her this Valentine’s is a trip to Hong Kong. With shopping as part of the agenda, of course. (Photo: iamhearte Instagram account)

Congrats to the lovebirds! They never really confirmed that they are an item, but Karylle’s announcement in It’s Showtime! last Saturday was that and more. Karylle announced they’re going to get married this March, and that they’ve been together for three and a half years already. “I started as a hurado here in Showtime and I became part of the Showtime family,” she said. “At kakambal po nito, dumating si Yael sa buhay ko.”
