Several Pinoy singers are nominated atthe 2013 World Music Awards, proving just how musically talented we are.

And for the Best Entertainer of the Year category, Sarah, Regine, Daniel, and Jed are all nominated and are up against artists like Adele, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, and Madonna.

Ynna was rumored to be the cause of the Derek Ramsay – Cristine Reyes breakup, but it looks like she really is not to blame. She shared with Buzz ng Bayan that Cristine is a long-time friend and while she met Derek just recently (after she broke up with Mark Herras, actually), she didn’t assume he was courting her even if they became close, because he didn’t really say that he was courting her. She’s fine with the former lovers; in fact, before Cristine flew for Hawaii for a series of shows with Derek, Ynna had a little talk with her, and the two clarified that they are okay with each other – that there’s no problem, even if netizens blamed her for the break-up.

Janelle Manahan became famous when her boyfriend Ramgen Revilla was shot to death two years ago, and a sex video of the two leaked just weeks after his burial. In an episode of Showbiz Police, she confessed to host Cristy Fermin that there are still some more where that came from, but that she thinks those who are responsible for leaking the first sex video will no longer leak more clips. She also shared that she has a new boyfriend and that while he didn’t know anything about her past with Ramgen, she is slowly sharing more and more about her past with her new boyfriend. Janelle added that she continues to pray for Ramgen. “I will keep my promise na hindi ako titigil na hindi ko nakukuha yung justice na deserve niya. Kasi yun na lang yung last thing na puwede kong gawin for him,” she told Cristy.
