Kaloka, etoh! look what i stumbled upon, i saw this Celine Lopez Livejournal blog, ( yes, i’m convinced it’s hers) where Celine Lopez described herself as these:

Bio: Hello! Choose your own adventure! Today, I am Celine R. Lopez, It girl-extraordinaire, a Lopez scion, a Philippine Star columnist and now a published author of a collection of my column “Coffee To Cocktails”. Don’t you wanna be me? I bet you do.

No, thanks Celine. lol..Actually the blog was written in 2003 pa, but it seemed like just yesterday with her entries there. Some of it are actually “well written” entries, although Brian Gorell in his expose’ blog, revealed that Celine employs ghost writers. She even had an ominous “Scandale blogs and other spam” entry..isn’t it ironic..

She also has one entry where she categorically, definitively, and surely mentioned someone named Tim as his “Will, the ghey friend” ala Will and Grace. She wrote in the context of “V” his boyfriend being “jealous” of her BFF Tim, “He says I stay in Tim’s condo too much, that I don’t have parties in OUR studio anymore, that even if I’m with V, all I talk about is Tim, that Tim and I talk too much over the fone or texting too much! It makes me so sad because the relationship between a gay man and a woman is not to be meddled with; it’s sacred and honest. We feed off each other’s vibes, we’re peas in a pod, we’re like 2 bath balls in the bathtub of life! I believe my growth as a woman involves the intervention of a ghey man.”

Where is Celine Lopez now? How about Wendy Puyat-Hotung?

Looks like the Brian Gorell scandals involving Brian Gorell, Delfin “DJ” Montano, Celine Lopez, Wendy Puyat-Hotung, etc.. has spawned a whole new world (to the tune of Lea Salonga’s Disney hit) of blogging for revenge(?)..one of the most notable is that of a Multiply blogger, Elaine of Please Don’t Stop The Music, narrating how she was sexually harassed by a Fitness First instructor. Elaine blogged about it and the next day, the lewd Fitness First instructor got “bye-bye” (to the tune of Mariah’s new single).

And then there was Ade Magnaye of The Man Blog, he made an An Open Letter To That Very Cute Chinita Barista At Seattle’s Best Coffee Tomas Morato to meet slash possibly have a future with slash have a good time with his object of affection.

Blogging is different strokes for different folks…

So this is the reason that my blog traffic spiked and everything Brian Gorell, Celine Lopez and Wendy Puyat-Hotung has been getting traffic. Apparently, ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol World ran a story interview with Brian Gorell himself. But no mention about the names of DJ Montano, Celine Lopez and Wendy Puyat-Hotung was made, only references, which to me is an incomplete story in itself. But it is a leap forward since one of the celebrities involved, Celine Lopez, is reportedly part owner of ABS-CBN. Unlike the US though, where if you’re running a story in a news of public interest, you have to disclose that you have a relationship with the personality/corporation you’re writing/broadcasting about, no such mention was made.

Anyway, here’s the Brian Gorell piece by Gigi Grande, ABS-CBN Australia Bureau chief, straight from Brian Gorell’s home, or soon to be former home:

Ana Theresa Licaros thinks the Brian Gorell, DJ Montano, Tim Yap, Celine Lopez and Wendy Puyat scandals is a ” Dangerous precedent.” Ana Theresa Licaros is the 2007 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe and a law student in the University of the Philippines. ABS-CBN News Online has a very detailed look at the Brian Gorell, DJ Montano, Tim Yap, Celine Lopez and Wendy Puyat scandals today, entitled ” Online libel: Aussie blogger’s victims are helpless” by Carmela Fonbuena. In it, Ana Theresa Licaros recalled her own “libelous” experiences when beauty pageant fans ridiculed her complete with her photos alongside other beauty pageant winners, calling her ‘mukhang barangay tanod.’

Dangerous precedent

Former Bb. Pilippinas Ana Theresa Licaros understands the difficulty of dealing with online libel. After she won the pageant last year, several hardcore pageant fans who were not fond of her began posting critical statements about her in online forums.

Although she recognizes that as a beauty titlist, she has become a public figure, “sadly, some of the posts are bordering on defamation,” she said.

“I found it really bothersome the way they posted my photos and compared these with other beauty pageant winners. Among the less vulgar comments they would say about her was ‘mukhang barangay tanod.’ I was knocked off for being the smart girl. They say that it’s not a quiz bee.”

Aside from currently taking up law in the University of the Philippines , Licaros also finished a broadcasting degree in the same university and graduated summa cum laude.

Licaros consulted Te, who was her professor. Licaros considered filing libel charges against her critics. She went to the extent of tracking the IP addresses of the anonymous persons critical of her. She found out that they usually use just one IP address, which means that her critics may be using an Internet connection at home or in a regular internet café.

Licaros could have asked the help of the authorities to help her track the IP address, until she decided to reconsider filing a case. “Even if I was personally hurt, I decided not to pursue a case. Although I was really tempted,” she said.

Knowing that the laws on cyberspace are still being defined, the lawyer and the media student in her feared that the “result might extend to other areas of speech that I don’t want to be curtailed.”

Wendy Puyat or Wendy Puyat-Hotung, legally separated from husband Tony Hotung, an old-rich scion from Hongkong, is a swimwear designer, dahlings..The gossipy “Cocktales” section by Victor Agustin of the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported last year that Wendy Puyat Hotung and Tony Hotung divorced after a photograph of Wendy Puyat Hotung was featured in a Chinese magazine emerging from the flat of her gweilo personal trainer.

In 2003, Wendy Puyat Hotung or just Wendy Puyat now, opened the trendy boutique, lily, in Makati and after her very public divorce became a swimsuit designer of her very own line called, starlet.

Wendy Puyat became involved in the Brian Gorell, DJ Montano, Celine Lopez scandal because she is part of the so-called Gucci Gang, who allegedly does coke parties. And because of the Brian Gorell scandal expose, a mole swears an anti-Brian party was held March 13 at the Embassy?! contrary to what Gucci Gang member Tim Yap wrote in the PDI that he was the last one to know daw of the scandal, learning only of it a day before he wrote his piece.

And Tim Yap is on a PR repair bonanza. PEP has a story of him about the Holy Week! That Tim Yap stays in Manila on Holy Week and just contemplates life on those days here..PEP btw, is owned by GMA Network and Tim Yap is a talent, hosting a show in QTV and was a former Celebrity Duets finalist.

Back to Wendy Puyat, next post is about Wendy Puyat’s starlet swimwear creations, don by models.
