Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. VIC FINALLY ADMITS RELATIONSHIP WITH PAULEEN
Vic Sotto was recently a guest on the Ikaw Na! segment of Boy Abunda in Bandila, and his last question was, “Kung bubuksan ko ang iyong puso ngayon, anong pangalan ng babae ang nakasulat?” The Eat Bulaga! host smiled and took some seconds before replying, “Tinatanong mo pa?” Boy said, “Oo nga, dapat hindi na tinatanong,” and then thanked Vic for guesting on his show. But Vic eventually answered, “Sagutin ko na rin – Pauleen.” (Photo: pauleenluna Instagram account)

Sarah Geronimo has always been tight-lipped when asked about rumored boyfriend/suitor Matteo Guidicelli, but when during her recent contract-signing with ABS-CBN, she was asked about the real score between them and she replied with, “Okay naman po.” Asked to specify characteristics that she likes in Matteo, she described how it’s nice talking with him because he always has a lot of nice stories to share. Someone dared to ask the Popstar Princess whether she’s already ready for commitment or not, and interestingly, she had an answer that wasn’t safe: “Baka mausog.” (Photo: sgeronimo25 Instagram account)

Interestingly, Xian Lim likes having bashers. He told Boy Abunda that having bashers is a sign that he’s doing something right. He said he likes the feeling of having bashers because it means he’s making a name for himself. “People actually care na they’re criticizing me. It makes me feel that I’m making an impression on them.”

We love Nestor Torre for being so honest and real! In his Dec. 15 piece for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, he enumerated some celebs who suffer from a “niceness” problem – you know, they’re too nice they end up being bland. Some of them are Chiris Tiu, who should involve “greater personal involvement and commitment on his part,” according to the writer; the “relatively bland and too-laidback TV program host” Richard Gutierrez; and “sweet female celebs like Jasmine Curtis-Smith, and Julia Montes.

One of the most controversial celebs in the country is Baron Geisler, who keeps getting involved in fights and getting sued, thanks to his problem with alcohol. He shared with Pep.ph that he wants a better year next year, but the year 2013 wasn’t that bad for the actor. He was pretty busy with projects like the gay-themed film Lihis, and the horror-drama movie Sapi. In fact, he’ll be very visible the rest of the year since he’s part of two Metro Manila Film Festival entries: Boy Golden: The Arturo Porcuna Story, and Saka Saka. He is also part of the international movie Waves, which will be shown next year.
