Showbiz in a snap: Ryan Agoncillo wanted by all 3 networks, and other news

Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz:

1. RYAN AGONCILLO IS WANTED BY ALL 3 TV NETWORKS
Great to hear that Ryan is finally recuperating from dengue AND pneumonia. The TV host and endorser is enjoying this little break from work by spending a lot of time with wife Judy Ann Santos and their kids. Meanwhile, fans are excited about his TV career since he just finished his contract with TV5, which has expressed interest in renewing it. GMA 7, which airs Eat Bulaga! (where Ryan is one of the hosts), also has an offer for the tisoy star. And then it looks like ABS-CBN is also interested in Ryan, especially because it is the home network of his wife, Juday. After all, projects with the two of them sound interesting, right? Ryan is so in demand! We’re pretty sure a lot of male TV hosts (plus the female ones, too) are jealous of him.

When Nikki Gil and Billy Crawford broke up, there were rumors pointing at Andi as the third party that caused the split. The allegations hurt her then, but she is all right now. “Na-realize ko I know who I am and nagsasabi naman ako ng totoo,” she said during the press con for her show Galema on Sept. 10. “Hindi naman totoo’ng nangyari. I’m really doing everything I can pero kung hindi pa enough wala na akong magagawa. It’s out of my hands already.” She added, “For me, alam ko naman na the truth will always prevail. Normal lang sa amin na mapasama sa issue or mapag-usapan or mamali or ma-misinterpret yung ginagawa namin. Okay lang sa akin yun and everything is fine. Now I know to not let it get to me.”

3. ERIK SANTOS WANTS TO START HIS OWN FAMILY ALREADY

The singer may be successful when it comes to his singing career – his 10th anniversary concert is at PICC Plenary Hall on Nov 9 – but he’s not that successful when it comes to his love life. He’s still single, but he says that he is going out on dates. It’s just that he is not the type who broadcasts such things. Erik, who has been rumored to be gay and has dated comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto, says that he wants to have his own family in the next three to five years because it’s hard when you don’t have your own. Good luck, Erik!

4. MARTIN NIEVERA WANTS BASHERS

The Concert King recently got a lot of negative feedback when he wore jeans at the recent Star Magic Ball. “Ang uso ngayon ay ‘Jail Jeans’ na skin tight, that’s from (Pinoy designer) Chris Jasler. He does the clothes of Boy Abunda. I’m just trying to look like Boy Abunda,” he told Umagang Kay Ganda yesterday. Despite the negative feedback online, Martin believes that having social media haters is healthy because he didn’t have those during the ‘80s. “We had yung mga bad articles, bad reviews. Ngayon, yung mga bashers, may immediate response, negative or positive, and we need them both.” He even answers comments online. “Pag dating sa social networks, I would like to answer them. So kung bastos ka sa akin, bastos din ako sa iyo, parang ganun. You have to make the system work.”  

5. SAM MILBY IS STILL COURTING JESSY MENDIOLA

Sam has announced that he is courting Jessy, who is on the cover of the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Philippines. But people were disappointed when the two didn’t arrive together at the recent Star Magic Ball. “We decided to just walk alone,” Sam shared during the press con for Kimmy Dora: Ang Kiyemeng Prequel. But hey, they were seatmates during the ball’s fashion show. Sam also clarifies that he may be very interested in Jessy but he’s not building a fence around her. He can’t stop other guys from courting her or showing interest. “I just wanna be around her.”
