Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. TONI AND CHARLENE SAY GOODBYE TO THE BUZZ
Yes, it’s confirmed: Toni Gonzaga and Charlene Gonzales will no longer be part of the ABS-CBN talk show. While it wasn’t explained why they’re leaving the show, host Boy Abunda did share that there will be lots of more changes. Charlene expressed how grateful she is to have been part of the show and that one of the reasons why she accepted to host it was because of Toni and Boy. On the other hand, Toni thanked her co-hosts, saying that Boy is one of the most generous people she’s met in the industry and that she will always look up to Charlene as a mom and a wife.

You already, Sandara Park! Now known as “Dara” of the Korean pop group 2NE1, our Pambansang Krung Krung has a photo that has gone viral online. Why? It just shows singer Justin Bieber kissing her on the cheek. Also in the photo is Korean-American Ben Baller, who uploaded the snapshot first in the site Weibo. It was reportedly taken last Thursday, at the launch of singer Jay Park’s record label called AOMG.

That is everyone’s assumption after Amy Perez’s Face to Face became Face the People, which has Gelli de Belen and Tintin Bersola-Babao as hosts. However, the two clarified that they didn’t steal Amy’s job. Amy was supposed to co-host the show with Gelli but had to part ways with the network after some “unavoidable circumstances.” On the other hand, Tintin says that she has Amy’s blessing and that the network president himself asked her to host the new reality talk show.

Willie Revillame’s noontime show finally aired its last episode last Oct 12 — and it lasted four hours! The farewell party at Delta Theater was well-attended even if there were heavy rains that day. The audience members’ efforts proved to be worth it because Willie announced that each one of them will take home PHP5,000. It was also a reunion of sorts because regular hosts Mariel Rodriguez, Rufa Mae Quinto, Grace Lee, Ava Jugueta, Joy Viado and Cacai bautista were joined by former hosts like Camille Villar, Arci Munoz, and Lovely Abella. Other guests were Randy Santiago, Nina, and Abra.
5. MATTEO ON RUMORED RELATIONSHIP WITH SARAH: “I’LL KEEP IT PRIVATE ALSO.”

It seems like a lot of people are interested in the supposed relationship of Matteo Guidicelli and Sarah Geronimo. But Matteo has been very tight-lipped about the whole thing. He did share with Pep.ph recently: “Wag na nating pag-usapan. I don’t wanna talk about it na. Let’s put it this way, I’ll keep it private also. One day I will say na lang, not now.” So does that kind of confirm things? He added that he’s not hiding anything; it’s just that he doesn’t want to talk about their relationship, whatever it is. He just wants to talk about his new show Galema. “Whenever I wanna talk about something, I wanna talk about Galema, about the project, dun na naman.”
