1. PART-PINAY MALAYA WATSON IN AMERICAN IDOL

There’s another part-Pinay in Idol, 16-year old Malaya Watson (how can she be not with a name like Malaya, right?), who is part of the top 77 contestants of the show’s 13th season. She is no Jessica Sanchez, and nothing is wrong with that. We actually love how refreshingly bubbly, quirky, and unique she is. She’s got personality, spunk, and a great voice, of course. Check out her audition above, where she does some warm-up shakes before singing Aretha Franklin’s “Ain’t No Way.”

2. WALLY BAYOLA RETURNS TO EAT BULAGA!

The comedian has returned to the noontime show five months after his sex scandal video with EB Babe Yosh Rivera surfaced. Last Feb. 8, he appeared in the Juan for “All, All for Juan” segment, which he used to do with Jose Manalo, and apologized to everyone and asked for forgiveness and for a second chance. He also apologized to Jose for not listening to him. Birthday boy Jose, on the other hand, was very supportive, and explained that “ang tunay na Dabarkads, laging andyan at laging handang magpatawad.”

Remember how the comedian said that Cedric lee, etc. made baboy his putotoy (and caught it in tape) and how Cedric, etc. said that they’re guys, so why the hell would they touch the comedian’s thing? Now a pic of a burned penis has been doing the rounds online; it’s reportedly Vhong’s but he’s clarified in Buzz ng Bayan yesterday, Feb. 10, that he’s already seen it but that it’s not his.

In an interview with Ricky Lo, the reigning Miss World shared that the simplicity of her life beack when she still didn’t have that crown on her head. “I am a very simple person,” she said. “I miss the times when I can go out anytime without thinking about what dress to wear. Or what makeup and hairstyle I should have.” She added that “having to dress up and act like a real lady all the time” is the biggest adjustment she had to make, considering how she “used to dress in a laidback and casual style” all the time.

V-Day is just around the corner and Inquirer columnist Dolly Anne Carvajal in her latest piece has listed the fave love songs of some celebs. Our fave answer? Jessa Zaragoza’s. She loves Peter Cetera’s “Glory of Love” and shared that she was so inspired by its message when she was a kid that she decided it would be her song for Mr. Right when she finds him. We all know she found him: Dingdong Avanzado. Check out the answers of newly-engaged Aiza Seguerra, Shalani Romulo, Phoemela Baranda, Ryan Cayabyab and other here.
