Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. LOUISE DELOS REYES ON BEING COMPARED WITH ANNE CURTIS
Anne Curtis is not the only mermaid in the block. GMA 7 has their own, too – Louise, who is the lead star of the upcoming fantaserye Kambal Sirena, where she will be paired with Aljur Abrenica. In an interview with Pep.ph, she shared that she received a lot of hate tweets comparing her with the more veteran Anne. But the promising actress sure knows how to handle the situation perfectly. She is using all the hate and the detractors as inspiration to do good. She also thinks it is a privilege to be compared to Anne. You go, girl. (Photo: lou_delosreyes Instagram account)

It was when Vice Ganda renewed her contract with ABS-CBN that she decided to buy a bigger house. Her house-hunting partner? The Queen of All Media. Vice shared with Pep.ph several anecdotes about house-hunting with kris. Like how loud she is, but that she actually makes sense. Or how they sometimes don’t even leave the car when Kris sees that the house is ugly. She also shared that there is one that she likes, which is worth around PHP67 million. She didn’t want to share her budget, however. (Photo: krisaquino214 Instagram account)

These Kapuso stars are all single right now and they won’t have it any other way. In an interview with MB.com.ph, Jennylyn said that what’s important for her right now is her work, her kid (Jazz, thanks to baby daddy Patrick Garcia), her family and friends. She also emphasized that she’s never gotten back with any of her ex-boyfriends, such as Mark, who doesn’t want to complicate things with Jennylyn, especially because they’re working together via Rhodora X. He added that he is not using the show or Jennylyn for a career boost. As for Kristoffer, he is still recovering from his failed romance with Joyce Ching. He says he’s still open to possibilities but that he understands that the split was destined to happen. (Photo: mercadojenny Instagram account)

It was only recently Joey found out about how ex-wife Alma is already separated from hubby Sultan Fahad “Pre” Salic, who is the mayor of Marawi City. Asked by Pep.ph whether he’s open to the idea of getting back together with her, he said that while he is single right now, he’s not sure whether getting back together is the best idea because they enjoy their set-up right now. “You don’t have to be married to have companionship,” he said.

Warner bros. is very happy about this project,” he said. More good words from the guy: “Hollywood level, with higher production values, beautiful lighting, elegant camera movement, and sharply polished dialogue.” Now we’re really excited.
