Ai-Ai weathers latest intrigues

Author: ABS-CBNNews.com

Fresh from a concert tour in the United States, comedian Ai-Ai de las Alas fended off the latest showbiz intrigues in her usual self-deprecating manner.

De las Alas said she was disappointed to hear that actress Snooky Serna labeled her the most "plastic" personality in local showbiz. Serna issued the statement in the Forbidden Questions segment of DJ Mo Twister's radio show.

“In fairness sa akin, busy akong nagtatrabaho, busy akong nagsho-show habang siya busy siya sa paninira sa akin (In fairness to me, I am busy working, busy with my shows while she is busy maligning me),” she said.

De las Alas also downplayed reports that she upstaged pop star Erik Santos during the singer's concert. She said she always gives her all in every performance, which is what the audience should expect in her own concert next month.

She joked that US singer Beyoncé even scheduled her concert in the Philippines earlier so she would not be upstaged by de la Alas.

"She wanted me to move it but I told her, 'No. I can't. I have many friends. How about you?'" she said in jest.

Beyoncé's concert in Manila is scheduled on November 7. De las Alas's concert, titled "The Greatest Perfomance of My Life", is scheduled on November 16.

De las Alas recently renewed her contract with ABS-CBN. She is set to play the lead role in the TV version of her hit movie “Volta" and will join drama princess Judy Ann Santos in a new sitcom.
