Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. RAYMART: CLAUDINE IS A DRUGGIE
Raymart Santiago claims that wife Claudine Barretto is a druggie: And he has evidence to prove it! He submitted to court a photo and a video showing Claudine injecting something in her arm. He also claims that he’s got a medical record stating that Claudine is positive for drugs. Of course, these are all lies, according to Claudine’s camp.

The news: Paulo suffered from an anxiety attack and was rushed to St. Luke’s Medical Center, where he refused to let go of a sharp object that he wanted to use to hurt himself. For real? Not really, according to his manager Leo Dominguez, who added that they were surprised and amused when they heard about this. He assured that Paulo is busy working, taping for a teleserye and shooting for a Star Cinema film.

They share the same stunts director: Seng Kawee. Seng is the fight director of Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider while he was hired by Laguna Governor ER Ejercito to train KC Concepcion for the movie Boy Golden. KC is ER’s leading lady in the movie, which is an official entry to the 39th Metro Manila Film Festival.

Matteo Guidicelli and Sarah Geronimo are rumored to be getting really, really close. This started when last July, Matteo was the only celeb present during Sarah’s private birthday party. The press cornered Matteo right after he walked for the Cosmo Bash last Sept. 24, but they didn’t get any good answer from him. Has Sarah seen his hot new bod? Does the mom of Sarah like him for her daughter? Is he courting her? He kept dodging them or giving incomplete answers to the questions. So we think something’s cooking. How about you?
