Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. THERE WAS NO ORAL SEX, ACCORDING TO DENIECE CORNEJO
Vhong Navarro said in his sworn affidavit that Deniece gave him head on their first date, but Deniece says no such thing happened, through her legal counsel, Atty. Howard Calleja. He added that “for the sake of argument, may nangyari, but if you say no on the second time, a no is a no. Rape is rape.”

In the live episode of Banana Nite last night, Xian sang the song “So It’s You” and a Kim Chiu lookalike joined him onstage. After the number, Xian seemed puzzled, asking, “Sino ‘to?” and “Anong ginagawa ni Bea Binene dito?” Even when Jayson Gaizna joined him onstage, Xian couldn’t get enough of “Bea Binene,” saying that “nag-guest siya from GMA” and that he wanted to ask her what her teleserye in GMA is. It also seemed like Xian was in a rush. While fans defended him saying that it did look like he was in a rush for something, there were those who criticized him for making the Kim Chiu lookalike look like a fool.

We’ve seen a lot of supporters of Vhong Navarro since most of them are in showbiz, too. We’ve seen Vhong’s girlfriend in the hospital, in the background. And his ex-wife Bianca Lapus has already expressed support and concern online. How about Deniece? Why haven’t we heard from her relatives? According to her legal counsel, in an interview with Headstart, Deniece requested for the privacy of her parents. While some relatives live in the country, there are those who are abroad, including her father, who is an OFW.

Remember the former VJ’s series of passionate tweets about rape? They were so passionate everyone thought she was referring to Vhong and Deniece. It was also interesting how timely they were. Yesterday, she tweeted, “To set the record straight, my comments on rape are my personal opinion, please do not speculate or take my tweets out of context. Thank you.” She was also asked by someone whether she was raped by Vhong nine years ago. “Please help us not to throw stones at the wrong tree.” Her answer? “I will help you not throw stones by telling you you have no right to throw them. wait for the truth.”
