Kristine: 'Di ko sasaktan si Oyo'

KRISTINE Hermosa doesn't care if people say that she's just a support to Toni Gonzaga and Sam Milby in "My Big Love". "I'm happy to support them at natutuwa ako sa kanilang love team," she says. "Enjoy ako doing the movie at walang ganyang mga intriga sa Hollywood kung malaki o maliit ang role mo. "

In all fairness to her, she gets topbilling in the movie. Who would she say is her own big love?

"Everyone knows first big love ko si Jericho (Rosales), but my big love na kailan lang, si Diether (Ocampo). "

And now, it's Oyo Sotto? "No, sa ngayon, wala. I'm happy being single. "

How come Oyo declared in an interview that he has unconditional love for her? "I don't know anything about that. You have to ask him yourself. Kasi when we're together, wala naman siyang sinasabing 'I love you' at all. Hindi siya nanliligaw sa'kin. I only learn about it mula sa mga interview sa kanya ng press. Sa bagay, sinabi ko talaga sa kanyang I'm not ready yet to get into another relationship. "

It's said that even Diether is puzzled by Oyo's statement and told a friend: "I thought friends lang sila ni Kristine. How come may sinasabi siya ngayong unconditional love?" What can Kristine say about this?

"Well, pareho lang sigurong honest about what they feel. Basta ang importante, huwag lang silang mag-aaway. Si Diet is still trying to win me back. But I told him I need more time kasi masyado niya akong nasaktan noon. "

Diet was also linked to Oyo's mom, Dina Bonnevie, when they did the movie "Bahid" for Regal some six years ago. What can Kristine say about Dina's statement that she's worried about her son Oyo. Dina confided to someone that she feels "naaagrabiyado si Oyo na pinaaasa lang ni Kristine na nakasal na sa iba. "

"Well, pakisabi kay Ms. D that I respect her opinion but she need not worry dahil good friends lang kami ni Oyo at hindi ko sasaktan ang anak niya. Actually, nagkita na kami noon ni Ms. D na kasama ko si Oyo at nabanggit ko na ang real status ng sinasabi niyang kasal ko. Baka worried din siya na pinagda-drive ako ni Oyo sa shooting. Kasi lang, wala akong driver that time at nagmagandang loob si Oyo na siya na maghatid sa'kin. Sino naman ako para tumanggi?"

CARLENE ON DENNIS AND CRISTINE: WALA NA AKONG PAKIALAM SA KANILA

CARLENE Aguilar took the Hot Seat in last Sunday's "Showbiz Central" and was grilled by the Central Jury of Rufa Mae Quinto and DJ Mo. She was asked about the status of her relationship with Dennis Trillo. "Hindi na kami, but we're friends for our son, Calix. He visits us sa bahay or we go to his condo para makita si Calix ng parents niya. "

Did she really choose to be controversial to join showbiz? "No. Sa totoo lang, ayokong pumasok ng showbiz. My focus now is to be a full time mom and finish my studies. I also want to do modeling stints abroad. Naging controversial lang naman ako kasi si Dennis ang ama ng anak ko. If it weren't him, it would not have been magnified like this. "

Cristine Reyes revealed that she already has a new boyfriend? "That's not true. Sinabi raw 'yun ni Dennis sa kanya. I don't know kung saan galing 'yun and where he got that. I do go out dating but I have no new boyfriend. "

What can she say about the rumor that Cristine and Dennis have reconciled and dated on Valentine's Day?

"Kung totoo, okay lang, pareho naman silang single. Actually, wala akong reaction sa balitang date nila. Wala na naman akong pakialam dun. "

Carlene chickened out when she got her Killer Question? She chose to seal it and not reveal it. "As much as I want to reveal, many kids are watching at may usapan na kami ni Cristine ng lawyer ko not to reveal the thing that the question is asking about. "

We guess the question is what did she really say to Cristine that time that she went to the taping of "All Star K" and confronted her.

RUFA MAE: NAGKASABAY LANG KAMI NI FG

RUFA MAE Quinto herself was put on the Hot Seat when some tabloids headlined that she went to Hong Kong with the First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, insinuating that something's going on between them. "Totoong nagkasabay kami sa eroplano going to Hong Kong at magkatabi kami sa first class," she says. "Pero nagkataon lang 'yun huwag n'yo namang lagyan ng malisya. Kaya ko rin namang magbayad ng first class na P22,000. Gusto ko lang magbakasyon at mag-relax sa Hong Kong. 'Yun pala, maiintriga pa ako ng ganito. Ni hindi nga niya ako nakilala. Nang mag-hello ako, sabi niya, Iha, ano nga ang pangalan mo? Sabi ko, si Rufa Mae po. And he said 'Ay, oo, kilala kita. ' Kaya huwag n'yo na kaming intrigahin. "

THE CALAYANS ON 'DON'T LIE TO ME'

IN THE couples edition of Don't Lie to Me, topnotch beauty experts Drs. Manny and Pie Calayan took the lie detector test. Dr. Pie was the first to take the test and she had a perfect score. Dr. Manny followed later and he only had one wrong answer, the last question. Here are the questions and their respective answers: Nagka-lovers quarrel ba kayo when Dr. Manny joined Celebrity Duets dahil nawalan siya ng time for the family? Both of them answered "No" and the Truth Verifier said they're telling the truth.

Is it true there were other contestants in "Celebrity Duets" na hindi nakasundo si Dr. Manny? Their answer is "No" and again, it's the truth. Did Dr. Manny not attend the grand finals then because he got eliminated? They answered "No" and again, it's the truth. Do you feel insecure with your closest rival, Dr. Vicki Belo? Again, their answer is "No" and it's true. It's in the last question that they differed with their answers: May pi-naretoke ba or enhance si Dr. Pie? She said yes, she had eyebags removal. It's the truth. Dr. Manny said no and it's a lie. He added later that he forgot to have done it on her more than 10 years ago.

REGINE A NO-SHOW ON 'SOP' BUT APPEARS ON 'THE BUZZ'

ALTHOUGH Regine Velasquez has chosen to stay with GMA-7, she was still a no-show at "S. O. P. " last Sunday.

Her boyfriend, Ogie Alcasid, sang in the wacky Sobrang OJ portion and he sang about Regine to the tune of "Ang Pag-ibig Kong Ito" with words to this effect: "Umiiyak' nung isang Linggo si Songbird at ang mga tao ay nagwa-wonder. Pati tuloy ako ay 'di na napigilan. Lahat nahawa at nag-iyakan. Mga tao ay nagtaka, hindi nila maunawaan, at hinuhulaan tunay na dahilan kung anu-ano ang nasa isipan. Ang iniisip n'yo siguro, baka itong si Regine ay nabuntis ko. Sinisiguro kong 'di ito totoo dahil kung ito ay true, aaminin ko. Ang iniisip naman ng iba, baka ako ay nahuling may ibang babae pa, lalo namang 'di mangyayari ito dahil ang nahuhuli lang ay si Janno. Ang totoo ay tears of joy lamang ito dahil tanging syota niya ay sobrang guwapo. "

But later, Regine showed up in "The Buzz" to explain that it's not true she's the one who sent feelers to ABS-CBN to get leverage in bargaining with GMA-7. She said she mentioned that she wants to do the Tagalog version of "Betty La Fea" whose rights are with ABS. She cried in "S. O. P. " because she already said goodbye to all her co-hosts but GMA then restrained her from leaving. So now, she's sticking with GMA and she probably got what she wanted. GMA exec Wilma Galvante has sent an official statement about Regine, saying:

"GMA Network values Regine Velasquez as an exceptional and professional artist. It is true that in the past several weeks, there have been continuous discussions between Regine, Cacai Velasquez-Mitra, her manager and the officers of the network. We are thankful at this point there is now a more open communication and clear cut projects mapped out to suit both the network's programming plans and Regine's schedule. "

So all's well that ends well for Regine and GMA. How about ABS? Don't they feel that they've somehow been used in all this?
