VENDORS in Blumentritt market (where I buy my daily needs, including newspapers) confess that they follow "Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN)" hosted by Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino.

Their only complaint is that there are issues that they watch in installment like the Pops Fernandez confession. One couldn't care less about the issue anymore when she saw the last installment. Her comment was diverted on Pops' physical looks instead. "Ano ba ang nangyari sa kanyang lips?"

Well, some don't understand the value of exposure, even if it means washing dirty linen in public.

MOM WORRIED ABOUT NADIA

Nadia Montenegro is considering her eye doctor's second opinion to undergo a second eye operation. Her eyesight is far from normal, and it really bothers her now.

We're concerned about Nadia as her mom, Linda Montenegro, is a good friend of mine. We understand she works at the office of movie actor- turned-California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at the IRS division. Linda is so worried about Nadia's plight. Let's pray Nadia regains her normal sight as she has two young children that needs her love and attention.

LIKE A PRODIGAL SON

AFTER five years in the Kapamilya network, Geoff Eigenmann comes back like a prodigal son to the Kapuso network. He signed an exclusive three-year contract with GMA7, witnessed by the networks, bigwigs, Atty. Felipe Gozon, Mr. Jimmy Duavit and the beleaguered lady executive Wilma Galvante.

He has started taping for SRO Cinemaserye where he shares acting prowess with Maxene Magalona, Marvin Agustin, Bianca King and Sheryl Cruz under the direction of Dominic Zapata. Does he miss someone from ABS-CBN? "Yes," he says, "all of my co-workers are my friends. "

What about Nikki Gil? "Oh yes, we're friends. "

When someone ribbed that he is going to be a threat to Dingdong Dantes, he said , "No," he says. "Aside from the fact that we have the same manager (Perry Lansingan), he has been in the business longer than I am and has achieved more than I have. "

Meanwhile, if given a chance, Geoff would like to be paired opposite Heart Evangelista, Iza Calzado and Marian Rivera.
