Isabel Oli was launched along with Rhian Ramos as the "It Girls" of PLDT MyDSL. PLDT PR executive Gary Dujali says they’ll be part of PLDT’s more aggressive promo for MyDSL Overdrive this year with the Speedster bus that will tour Metro Manila this March and which will also serve as an application booth. Isabel and Rhian will be on the bus along with the EB Babes. So is Isabel ready to face Lian Paz, the EB Babe who replaced her in Paolo Contis’ heart?

"Oo naman," she says. "Wala naman akong galit sa kanya o kay Paolo. I’ve moved on and there’s no bitterness in my heart."

What if Lian would snub her?

"Hindi naman siguro. I don’t think she’s like that. We have yet to formally meet, pero hindi naman kami magkaaway."

If she’d have a message for Paolo and Lian, what would it be?

"Ano ba? Well, I just hope they’re happy and they’ll stay in love. Sana nga, sila nang dalawa talaga."

Is it true she has found new love in cager Wesley Gonzales?

"No. We’re only friends. Nakakahiya nga sa kanya he’s being dragged into this. Iniiwasan na rin naming magkita para hindi na kami matsismis. Also, I’m not ready yet to get into another relationship. Rest muna ako."

Was she really the one who returned the engagement ring Paolo gave her?

"Yes, kasi I felt hindi na kami okay. Teka, I just want to make it clear na you’re asking me at sinasagot ko lang. I don’t want to be accused later na ginagamit si Paolo to gain mileage.Kung maari nga, ayoko na pag-usapan ‘yan dahil it’s behind me na, kaya lang, kundi ko sasagutin, magagalit naman kayo."

So why did she return the ring?

"Siempre. Engagement ring ‘yun. Why will I keep it kundi na kami engaged?"

Was it painful?

"Siempre, masakit, pero tanggap ko na. But more than that, nasaktan ako doon sa lumabas later na hiniwalayan ako dahil ‘Bilmoko Girl’ daw ako. Buti na lang Paolo himself said na hindi ito totoo. Totoong I got gifts from him, but it’s because he’s really generous,hindi dahil nagpapabili ako. Alam ko naman kung sino ang nagkalat niyon pero hindi ko na lang kinonfront para hindi na lumaki pa ang issue."

Was the ring she returned recycled by Paolo and given to Lian?

"I don’t know. I can’t answer that, but knowing Paolo, I don’t think he’d do that."

Was she sad on Valentine’s Day?

"No. Ang saya ko nga. Matagal din akong nagba-Valentinena may boyfriend. This time, wala, pero wala naman akong na-miss. I was with my brother and his wife sa Peter Cetera concert so masaya naman ako. I think the key is in letting go. Kung wala na, ‘di wala na. There’s no time to be lonely naman kasi I have my family and friends to keep me company. End of this month, I’m going to Boracay with some actress friends at five days kami roon."

Rhian Ramos is happy to be a PLDT myDSL "It Girl" as she really uses it to email her friends and surf the net.

"It’s now so fast to write your friends and do research on the internet and this is where myDSL comes in handy," she says.

Rhian admits she and J C De Vera became very close while doing "La Lola." What can she say about his rumored transfer to ABS-CBN?

"I just heard about it but I have yet to hear it from him mismo. It’s up to him. Wala naman akong dapat ika-react diyan. I’m sure his manager, Tita Annabelle, knows what she’s doing. Hindi naman ako ang magde-decide where he should stay."

So what happens to their love team?

"Okay lang. I mean, it’s up to GMA-7 kung they’ll pair us again or not. As of now, sa ‘Zorro’ muna ako with Richard Gutierrez. I won’t get affected in anyway kung lilipat man nga siya. What we have is just friendship that started with our good working relationshipsa taping. ‘Yun lang."

My DSL Overdrive kicks off this Saturday and Sunday, February 28 and March 1, with Ultra Broadband Blowout at the V Mall in Greenhills. You can enjoy big discounts on laptops with free My DSL.

Dr. Vicki Belo granted her first live interview to friend DJ Mo in the "Gimme Mo" segment of last Sunday’s "Showbiz Central," the one in "SNN" with Kris Aquino being a taped one. Here are Mo’s questions:

Of all stars, kanino ka nahirapan sa dami ng binago mo sabody niya? "Never kaming nahirapan kasi magaling kami and we have the latest facilities. If ever nahirapan kami, I can’t reveal it due to confidentiality." Dr. Vicki added: "If you want to look like Boy Abunda, go to Dr. Calayan. If you want to look like Dingdong Dantes, go to Belo. Joke lang ‘yun, ha."

Is your daughter Cristalle Henares against Hayden Kho kasi siya ang unang niligawan nito?

"That’s wrong information. I met Hayden sa UST at palakpakan kasi very popular siya dun. My daughter was also taking up medicine pero hindi niya natapos so I said, dapat doktor ang mapangasawa niya to help in our business. She’s 23 and Hayden, then an intern, was 26 and I told her when I got home, I found the guy you’re going to marry. Parang mina-match ko sila, but my daughter said, ‘Mommy, may boyfriend na ako, si Jeff.’ And she’s very faithful to him kaya I’m proud of her as she has the right values."

Did you have suspicions that Hayden was unfaithful to you?

"None, because he’s very caring and he was always with me."

Is there really a video of Hayden with Katrina Halili?

"Yes, there’s a video, but it’s not the kind that you’re thinking of. It’s Hayden asking Katrina some questions. What hurt me the most was when Katrina told him: ‘Girlfriend mo lang naman siya, ako ang asawa mo.’"

So have you really forgiven Katrina?

"I’m a Christian at lagi akong nagpapatawad. Of all the people, sa kanya talaga ako na-upset kasi malapit na malapit ako sa kanya. Kaya nasaktan talaga ako. Pero hindi na ko galit, kasi when you’re angry and bitter, nakakatanda ‘yun."

Sa tingin mo, may nangyari rin kina Hayden at Rufa Mae Quinto?

"Gut feel ko lang, yes. I really feel meron."

Is there evidence on this?

"May evidence, but again, hindi ‘yung inaakala mo(sex video)."

If you’re not that successful sa business mo, will Hayden still love you?

"That’s difficult to answer kasi that’s part of the package. Kasi kung hindi, hindi na ako ‘yun."

But do you feel the men in your life are gold diggers?

"Not Hayden, because he never took advantage of me. Siya pa nga ang nagbibigay ng mga regalo sa akin. He even returned the car that I gave him. But the one before him, yes, inaamin ko."

Does Hayden deserve a second chance?

"I don’t know. Everybody deserves a second chance. Ako, I always leave it up to God, but not my lovelife, so dun ako lagi nagkakamali kasi matigas ang ulo ko. Kaya ngayon, my prayer about my lovelife is, Lord,kayo na ang bahala."

What’s the hardest part of being Vicki Belo?

"Many people try to take advantage of me. Naniniwala kasi akong lahat ng tao, mabait, pero lagi na lang akong nasasawi."

We can’t help but pity Katrina Halili. Whatever setbacks she’s suffering in her career and lovelife right now, she brought it all upon herself. She was given so many good chances, but she blew it.

It’s obvious she and singer Kris Lawrence have also broken up but she just won’t admit it. She now says they cannot break up since they have never admitted that they were on, just close friends.

But at the height of her controversy with Hayden, she was proudly proclaiming that Kris was standing by her side and completely understood the situation as the liaison with Hayden happened way before she and Kris met. She was also proud that during the last Christmas holidays, Kris introduced her to all his family members in California who she said were all nice to her and accepted her.

Now, when she’s asked about Kris, she’s singing a different tune and just cries. She insists nothing went on between them before. She added that it just so happens that they’re now both busy with work so they seldom see each other anymore. Busy with work? That’s puzzling since, as far as we know, GMA-7 hasn’t assigned her any new show after "Gagambino" ended and even the "Miss X" project she’s supposed to shoot in Europe is now in limbo. Kris himself has no assignment on ABS-CBN for ages now.

"Gusto ko na lang magtrabaho," adds Katrina. "Mas gusto kong maging single na lang kasi pag nai-in love ako, puro pagkakasala lang ang nangyayari."

Katrina, it all depends on who you fall in love with. When you fall for someone who everyone knows is the boyfriend of your employer since Dr. Belo got you as endorser of Belo Medical, then that’s definitely a sin that will tarnish your reputation forever in the eyes of the public. As one writer observes: "Siya talaga ang sirang-sira sa ginawa niya kasi ang image niya, trineydor niya si Dr. Belo na ang dami pa namang ginawang retoke sa kanya for free."
