ACCORDING to Helen Gamboa, when Sharon Cuneta made lambing and told her na gusto niya to work out, pero kung puwede, hindi sa isang gym na tinatao, she decided na magpatayo ng isang mini gym sa kanilang compound sa White Plains.

Naisip ni Helen na maganda na ang may sarili silang gym. 'Di lang dahil magkakaroon sila ng privacy, kung hindi posible pa silang makatipid since pati siya at ang mga anak niya (Helen has three grown-up girls and a son), doon na rin magwo-work-out, including husband, former senator now drug czar Tito Sotto.

All they have to do is hire a professional gym instructor.

Helen said she made sure that only the best exercising equipment were there.

Heto na ang siste, aniya. Sharon never once made dalaw to the gym.

Kaya, sabi ni Helen, she had no choice but to sell out.

DOES she think Sharon still has hope to lose weight, considering her size sa pelikulang Best Friends Forever (BFF) nila ni Ai-Ai de las Alas?

In fairness to Sharon , if she looked bigger in some parts sa BFF, it was because sinadyang lagyan ng padding ang katawan niya for her to really look bigger.

Para lalo siyang umakma sa role niya bilang isang housewife na naging complacement kaya tumaba.

In any case, ang sagot ni Helen: "Oo naman, lalo't if she put her heart and soul to it.

"Hindi nga ba at ipinagmalaki na niyang naka-lose na siya ng 15 lbs. mula nang matapos niya ang shooting ng movie?"

Si Helen, younger sister of Sharon 's mom, Elaine Cuneta, ay favorite aunt ng megastar. In turn, parang anak daw ang turing ni Helen kay Sharon.

INCIDENTALLY, Sharon leaves today with her family, Senator Kiko Pangilinan and daughters KC, Frankie and Miel for her series of concerts in the U. S. and Canada.

KC will be one of her co-performers.

Since the concert will last for more than a month, her two young daughters will have to come home sooner.

"They have classes kasi," paliwanag ni Sharon. "If there's one important thing Kiko and I have instilled in our kids' minds, it's for them to take their studies seriously. Sabi namin, education is their key to success. "

Bago umalis, Sharon took time to launch her album, Children's Rhymes and Lullabies.

A project close to her heart, Sharon said it was she and Sen. Kiko who cooked up the project. Naisip daw kasi nila that there's a need for both Tagalog and English songs for children, including their own Frankie and Miel.

REMEMBER Claudine Trillo, once upon a time isa sa hosts of a morning show sa ABS-CBN?

What actually made Claudine a byword among showbiz aficionados was when she was linked to Zoren Legaspi.

But as we all know, ang napangasawa niya ay ang basketbolistang si Jason Webb, kapatid ng newscaster at girlfriend ni Edu Manzano na si Pinky Webb at anak ng dating senator at basketbolista ring si Freddie Webb.

Well, heto ang malungkot na balita. Hiwalay na sila ni Jason. They have two children.

Claudine is still active bilang TV host. Araw-araw ang kanyang programang One Morning sa Channels 4, 9 at 11.

Did we hear it right na may ardent admirer siya in the son of a popular politician who is doing very well on his own?
