Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. KRIS RENEWS CONTRACT WITH ABS-CBN
Kris Aquino has confirmed that she is staying with ABS-CBN after renewing her contract with the Kapamilya Network. While she is in London with sons Josh and Bimby, her manager Deo Edrinal continued negotiations with the station. Kris also set the record straight by sharing in an Instagram post that she never met with any GMA officials, but that she met with TV5’s Manny V. Pangilinan twice: in October and in Dec. 23 last year. She closed by saying that while she had ups and downs during her 18 years with ABS-CBN, they remain family.

Vice Ganda has it all! She has a successful showbiz career – and a love life. However, she’s never confirmed the name of the guy despite several guesses and allegations. She shared that he told her last New Year that he doesn’t need to shout to the world how much he supports her; what matters is that she knows. Vice Ganda told Pep.ph that they find it hard to date, considering how they want to keep things private. Boy Abunda once asked whether the guy is an athlete, and all Vice could do was shut up and laugh. (Photo: vicegandako Instagram account)

That’s exactly what the American Idol season 11 runner-up did when she posted the photo above in her Instagram account.

Expectedly, the photo got a lot of likes and positive comments from fans and followers.

Vice Ganda in a guesting on Buzz ng Bayan last Jan. 5 clarified that there’s no tension between her and Kris Aquino, despite how people are pitting them against each other simply because they have competing Metro Manila Film Festival entries. Kris stars in My Little Bossings, which also stars her son Bimby, while Vice plays four characters in the movie Boy Girl Bakla Tomboy. “Walang ganun, walang ganung tension,” Vice told Pep.ph. She shared that after she accepted the Second Best Picture Award, Kris even asked her to pass by her seat row, and the made beso. Kris also told her that Robin Padilla would beat her in the Best Actor category. (Photo: krisaquino214 Instagram account)

However, he told Pep.ph that while he’s exploring hosting jobs, he will still act and sing especially because he still gets a lot of offers. (Photo: markkistroem Instagram account)
