Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. LEA WAITING FOR AGA TO LOSE WEIGHT FOR THEIR REUNION MOVIE
Remember how good the Lea Salonga – Aga Muhlach movies back in the 90s? Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal and Sana Maulit Muli are so good that a lot of people now are clamoring for a reunion movie from the two. However, we need to wait a little more for that. Lea told ABS-CBN News that she’s “looking good in skinny jeans now” but that Aga needs to lose 20 more pounds before they can shoot that movie. “The ball is in his court, it is always in his court.”

We still feel the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda but Pokwang told Mornings@ANC that it’s time to laugh again. How? Through her new movie Call Center Girl! The movie is about an OFW who comes back to the Philippines to be with her kids. She gets a job as a call center agent and has a mean boss she needs to put up with. Doesn’t sound funny, so far, but we’re pretty sure the trailer is funnier than the plot. Check it below:
3. JENNYLYN HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE BREAKUP QUESTIONS

Jennylyn Mercado no longer wants to answer questions about her breakup with Luis Manzano. Pep.ph reports that when they interviewed her last Nov. 16 for her new show Rhodora X, the actress said she doesn’t want to talk about the breakup anymore because “tapos na,” requesting for people to respect their decision. However, she still answered some questions about Luis, sharing that this latest breakup was hard just like all breakups, and that she’s doing better.
4. ARIELLA ANSWERS THE OTHER TOP 5 MISS U QUESTIONS
Miss Universe 2013 3rd runner-up Ariella Arida was a guest on the “Ikaw Na!” segment of Bandila, where host Boy Abunda shared that Ariella actually answered in her head the questions of the other finalists during the Q&A portion. She even shared with Boy her actual answers. We’re pretty sure she got to rehearse those answers already, but do you really think she could have won the crown with those?
