Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. PIOLO PASCUAL’S LOVE SCENE WITH TONI GONZAGA IS “ANIMALISTIC AND SCANDALOUS”
That’s according to Olivia Lamasan, the director of their upcoming movie Starting Over Again. However, she told Pep.ph that people will giggle when they understand why exactly the love scene is animalistic. “It’s very, very clean,” she said. (Boo.) As for the scandalous part, the director thinks Toni’s parents are the ones who will consider the love scene scandalous. Direk added that there were times when Toni would shake when it came to the kissing scenes and other intimate moments. And then stare blankly into space right after. LOLers.

Remember when Vhong shared that Cedric Lee, etc. took a video clip of his “abused organ” but how it hasn’t leaked (however, no one is denying the existence of a video where Vhong “confesses” that he raped his friend Deniece Cornejo). Now there is a photo of that abused organ floating in cyberspace but Vhong’s lawyer, Atty. Alma Magalona, is doubting its authenticity, and is requesting for the NBI to identify its source. She is also requesting for everyone to stop sharing it because people will think instantly think it’s true.

Vina’s name has been dragged into the Vhong-Deniece-Cedric hot mess because she used to go out with Cedric in 2006, and they have a four-year old daughter, Ceana. Now she ‘s setting the record straight so people can hopefully stop dragging her into this hot mess. Her lawyer gave ABS-CBN News the following statement: “For the record, contrary to what has been aired or written, our firm maintains and so holds that the news tidbits with reference to the infliction of physical violence at any given time to her person by Mr. Lee is purely fictional, conjectural and speculative.” (Photo: vina_morales Instagram account)

Interestingly, the It’s Showtime! host has been making jokes referring the incident in her noontime show. For example, yesterday, she spoofed parts of Deniece’s StarTalk interview, raising an arm a la Deniece, while talking. She also made a word play on “merger” saying that Vhong was almost “murdered.” This shocked co-host Anne Curtis. Vice even referred to Vhong as a panda, because of his black eyes, which interestingly made the audience laugh. It was last Monday when Vice started cracking jokes referring to the incident, mentioning Deniece several times, and even incorporating the elevator incident. Vice has clarified, however, that Vhong requested for her to make him laugh. Which explains all those jokes. (Photo: praybeytbenjamin Instagram account)

5. HEART EVANGELISTA HAD A HARD TIME INTERVIEWING DENIECE CORNEJO
Deniece was a guest on StarTalk last Feb. 2, and Heart admitted that she had a hard time with the interview (which she did together with Butch Francisco) because it was her first time to do something that controversial. “I’m not used to handling that kind of situation,” she said. “It was so controversial.” She said that she “was iffy about the whole thing” but that she had to do what she needed to do coz it was her job. “That was the only thing I could give. That was the only thing that was given to me. I couldn’t do anything else. My hands were tied,” she said, explaining that the GMA legal department and Deniece’s lawyer were all there. She added that she’s usually very vocal and spontaneous and that she was frustrated because they couldn’t change or add questions.
