Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. WHY KRIS AQUINO DECIDED TO STAY WITH ABS-CBN
The Queen of All Media was honest enough to reveal when she was a guest in Buzz ng Bayan yesterday, Jan. 13, that while she appreciates those who told her in Instagram that they’d follow her wherever she’d move, majority told her that they’d be mad if she decided to move. She even likened it to an election. And she understood it.
Kris also emphasized that “at the end of this” and “when it’s time to walk away,” all she really wants to be sure of is a good future for her eldest son, Joshua. “Si Kuya ang kailangan kong siguraduhin na kahit anong mangyari sa akin, he’ll be financially stable come what may.” As for Bimby, she’s confident that “may pupuntahan talaga” because he is a “survivor.”
So what can viewers expect from a still-with-ABS-CBN Kris Aquino? “There will be some innovations sa Kris TV,” she said. (Photo: krisaquino214 Instagram account)

Nikki Gil’s ex-boyfriend has admitted that he is courting his It’s Showtime co-host. “Coleen and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend,” he told Buzz ng Bayan yesterday, Jan. 12. “We are not yet a couple. That’s pretty much it.” Billy also admitted they met up in New York (remember that photo of the two watching an NBA match?), but clarified that Coleen was not the reason behind his breakup with Nikki. He closed by saying that Coleen means a lot to him and that he just wants to pursue trying to get to know her more.”

3. REY PJ ABELLANA DOESN’T WANT CARLA TO GET MARRIED YET

Just like most dads, Rey PJ is not in favour of his daughter to get married yet. He views it this way: Carla Abellana is committed to her career especially because she’s under contract with GMA 7 and Regal, so career should be her priority, not getting married to boyfriend Geoff Eigenmann. He explained to Pep.ph that you can just get married anytime while the blessings in your career should be taken advantage of when they’re there. (Photo: carlaangeline Instagram account)

4. ALDEN RICHARDS IS NO LONGER INTIMIDATED BY MARIAN RIVERA
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”43264″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”600″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”600″}}]]
We’re pretty sure anyone would get intimidated by the Kapuso star. But we’re just glad that Alden is finally embracing the big star he is becoming more and more everyday by no longer viewing Marian as unreachable. The Kapuso star couldn’t look into her eyes before. “Hindi ko siya madikitan, sobrang iba yung tingin ko sa kanya – unreachable,” he told Pep.ph. But he knows better now. After getting to know each other and taping for their exciting new show Carmela, Alden has discovered that Marian is “very down-to-earth, madaling pakisamahan, madaling pakibagayan.” Baby steps for one of the most promising stars of GMA 7; we’re sure he’ll get There very soon.

Maja may play a mistress in the new show The Legal Wife, but she shared in a recent episode of Buzz ng Bayan that her character is very different from who she is right now. She didn’t even hesistate accepting the role despite the possibility of people linking her to the role. You all know how everyone was calling her names after she ended up going steady with Gerald Anderson, who before her was the boyfriend of her best friend Kim Chiu.
