Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. JAKE AND BEA BACK TOGETHER
Jabea fans are sure celebrating now that their idols, Jake Vargas and Bea Binene, have gotten back together, after breaking up three months ago. Jake surprised Bea with flowers when they had a Tween Hearts reunion last Nov. 3, apologized for his shortcomings, and even talked with Bea’s mom to say sorry. Bea on the other hand told Pep.ph that it wasn’t hard to let Jake back in her life and that she’s glad they’re back together because she missed their fun times together. Jake shares that he plans to focus on his career now instead of his barkada, while Bea knows when to get jealous. “Kapag mababaw lang, hindi naman. Before maniwala ako sa mga sabi-sabi, I always ask him first.” (Photo: marksablan Instagram account)

A lot of people think so, with comments on how she’s magaslaw and maharot, and that she’s a playgirl. Cristone doesn’t mind the label, though. “I don’t mind,” she said. “At least may title.” While she actually likes how astig the title sounds, she just had to clarify that she’s not a playgirl. “Hindi naman, kasi hindi naman lahat ay nagiging boyfriend ko.”

Jolina Magdangal and hubby Mark Escueta just found out that they’re having a baby boy and the two are very happy about it. Jolina might be a little happier than Mark since Jolina expressed before how she wants a son while Mark wants a daughter. They haven’t agreed on a name yet but Jolina shared with Pep.ph that she wants something Brazilian-sounding. “Yung parang kapag tinawag mo, ang sosyal lang!” (Photo: markescueta Instagram account)

Nope, Korina Sanchez wasn’t suspended by ABS-CBN after she made a statement criticizing CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, she was just asked to take a vacation by management, according to a source Pep.ph got in touch with. Korina reportedly won’t be seen in TV Patrol for two weeks, although she’ll still be seen hosting her Sunday night show Rated K because it’s taped.

It’s nice that celebs are helping out the victims of typhoon Yolanda. Rhian Ramos is one of them, and her way to help out is by doing fan signs for a cause, which means you donate P150 (or more, if you want) for every fan sign. While fans commended her for this, some didn’t like the idea. One commenter, @dolero_janessa, said that she hopes the money will really get donated, not pocketed. The user even commented again later on, in Bisaya. Rhian just had to reply: “May level ng kapangitan ng ugali, na kahit gaano ka pa mahilig mag Camera360, di naaayos. Wag kang umabot dun ha. @dolero_janessa.” (Photo: whianwamos Instagram account)
