Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz
1. PAPA P DOESN’T WANT TO PORTRAY A GAY CHARACTER
A lot of male actors have been portraying gay roles – Dennis Trillo, Tom Rodriguez, Jake Cuenca, and Joem Bascon – but Piolo Pascual is not jumping on the bandwagon. He told the press during the press con for Sunpiology Fun Run: “Siguro hindi naman ako tanga para ilagay ang sarili ko sa sitwasyon na pagtatawanan ako at pag-iisipan ako ng hindi maganda.” He also admitted that he was traumatized when, after his split with KC Concepcion two years ago, people doubted his sexual preference.
2. KC MONTERO HAPPY FOR GENEVA CRUZ

They may no longer be together as a couple but it looks like everything is okay between KC and Geneva (even after that crazy fight in Survivor – remember that?). In fact, KC is happy that Gen is now set to marry Fil-Australian Lee Paulsen, and that they’re expecting a baby. KC, who was with Gen for around six years, also shared that Gen for the longest time wanted to have another baby, after her son Heaven with ex-hubby Paco Arespacochaga. KC and Gen were supposed to have a baby but Gen suffered from three miscarriages. KC is now happy with actress Rhian Ramos. Okay, everyone’s happy.
3. IS MARIEL PADILLA MOVING BACK TO ABS-CBN?

Willie Revillame’s show Wowowillie ended last Saturday and one of the people there who lost their job is host Mariel Rodriguez. Interestingly, she was spotted in ABS-CBN territory right after that; she even posted about it in Instagram, sharing a photo with ABS-CBN host Boy Abunda. She was quick to clarify, however, that she was there for his birthday. Hmmm…
4. ANGEL LOCSIN TAKES THE MRT

Another celeb takes the MRT! After Kris Aquino, Manny Pacquiao, and Anne Curtis, the latest celeb to line up for an MRT ticket is Kapamilya star Angel Locsin, who was spotted at the Ayala station in Makati last night, Oct. 16. She shared a photo of her in line through Instagram and used the hashtag “haggardoversoza,” meaning haggard. She also captioned it with, “Pwede na pala mag-premiere night sa Ayala station!”
Just another reason for you to take the MRT, right?
5. FREDDIE AGUILAR HAS A 16-YEAR OLD GF

We repeat: Freddie Aguilar has a 16-year old girlfriend. And he’s 60 years old already! He shared with Pep.ph that he didn’t know she was that young when he first met her and that by the time he discovered her age, there was no turning back because he was in love already. So how do they make their relationship work? They compromise, even if they have a 44-year age gap. Freddie shared that, for example, she says yes to him whenever he want to go fine dining, and that she has no qualms when she wants to have a date in… Jollibee.
We bet Freddie’s song “Anak” has a totally different meaning now for everyone.
