Author: Ethel Ramos
Column: Studio Whispers

HOW sad that Heart Evangelista is making a spectacle of her break-up with Jericho Rosales. Whenever she denounces Jericho on TV, she not only sounds condescending but disgusted as well. This is especially true when she starts enumerating Jericho’s alleged girlfriends while he and Heart were still together.

One of the girls Heart is jealous of is Carmen So, the Malaysian actress who plays Jericho’s leading lady in a teleserye ABS-CBN is producing with a Malaysian producer.

Now here is a piece of advice to Heart: Discontinue entertaining the powerful feelings that Jericho will forever be the love of your life. Immerse yourself in work. ‘Di ba you have a new teleserye on GMA 7?

It will do you good if start looking at the future minus Jericho.

We predict that the housemates in "Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition">Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus," most likely to make it to the Big Four, from which the grand champion will be chosen, are Valerie, Nan, Beauty and Nicole.

Valerie and Nan have yet to be nominated for eviction. Beauty and Nicole were almost evicted.

Now here’s a rundown on these four which we culled from the "Pinoy Big Brother" magazine.

Valerie’s real name is Valerie Weignmann and she hails from Weisbadeon, Germany. She’s 18. Her mom is a Filipina who works as a kitchen helper. Her dad used to be a chef.

Valerie has a half-sister who is pure Filipino. It is from her that Valerie developed her fondness for watching local shows. Yes, her sister subscribes to The Filipino Channel (TFC).

One of the biggest blows she experienced as a teenager was when her father died. She almost yielded to depression. In fact, for a time, she neglected her studies.

It was her mom and her sister who helped her pick up the pieces. She went back to school and slowly put herself back on track.

Valerie’s dream is to become an actress; that’s why she is studying how to speak Tagalog inside Kuya’s house. She knows that not being fluent in the language could be a setback to her dream of joining showbiz. She is quick to add, though, that with all the experiences she got inside Kuya’s house, she has proven that nothing is impossible.

Nan has an unusual name: Arnann Jay Clenuar. So does his mom, who is called My Love, by people who love her. Mommy My Love emerged as one of the top four among the guardians housed in Bahay ni Kuya.

Seventeen-year-old Nan has a happy disposition. He considers himself kenkoy. "I can laugh at my biggest problem," said Nan.

His happy-go-lucky nature is the reason of his mom’s headaches. Being the eldest in a brood of three, he is expected to be at his mom’s beck and call. His father, a seaman, is almost always overseas.

Do you know that to get Nan to help her, Mommy My Love has to whack him with a slipper or chase him around with a knife?

But Nan’s mom now admits that Nan has changed a lot since his stint in Bahay ni Kuya. She should know, as she herself saw the many changes in Nan while she was in the PBB house with the other guardians.

"If only for these changes in Nan," said Mommy My Love, "I’d say that Nan’s stint as a PBB housemate is a big success."

Beauty is Christine Marie Gonzales in real life. A native of Dumaguete City, she was born on May 28, 1991. She stands 5’8" and has Spanish blood.

Beauty is taking up a business management course at the Sil-liman University.

Carina said that Beauty wasn’t her daughter’s original nickname but she felt that the monicker chosen by Beauty’s dad was too vulgar.

Mommy Carina and Beauty are very close. Beauty admits that she is a spoiled child, which is why Mommy Carina appreciates her stint as a housemate in Bahay Ni Kuya.

Beauty, who comes from a family of hacenderos, doesn’t know how to do any household chore. She does not even know how to cook her own breakfast or wash her underwear. But now, Beauty can do these herself. Her stay in Kuya’s house has really done her wonders.

One of the nicest things Beauty did to a fellow housemate was when she told Big Brother to evict her mom in place of Nicole’s Mommy Sandy, because Mommy Sandy needed the prize more than Mommy Carina.

When Beauty’s mom learned about what she did, her mom embraced Beauty tightly. Now, Mommy Carina can safely say that Beauty is not just physically beautiful but is beautiful inside as well.

Nicole, 17, is Filipino-Chinese. Her real name is Nicole Kim Uysiuseng. She attends classes at the Paref Southcrest School in Cebu City.

Before joining PBB, Nicole had never been separated from her parents. It was a treat for her when Big Brother chose to have Nicole’s Mommy Sandy as one of the guardians Kuya chose to live in a house next to the teen housemates’ home.

Because Nicole’s team up with evicted housemate Josef Elizalde clicked inside Kuya’s house, there are talks that they might be a threat to the Kim Chiu-Gerald Anderson tandem.
