Fans of the Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz loveteam need not fret over the mega success of the John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo loveteam, the John Lloyd-Bea tandem is back every weekdays on primetime TV over at ABS-CBN. John Lloyd Cruz has been chosen to be “Armando” in I Love Betty La Fea, the Pinoy version of Ugly Betty. Betty La Fea is Bea Alonzo. John Lloyd Cruz was at first hesitant to star again opposite Bea Alonzo in primetime TV after he was promised that they are going to be paired off with others this year. But John Lloyd was glad of the opportunity when Piolo Pascual, Ryan Agoncillo, Gerald Anderson, Jake Cuenca, Sam Milby, and Derek Ramsey, among other big male stars were also considered for the role.

This is probably the reason why Piolo Pascual was conspicously absent in the Bench Blackout Underwear and Denim Show, Piolo Pascual is to launch a Piolo Pascual Clothing line and a Piolo Pascual Perfume, as in a Piolo Pascual Parfums, lol. The project is its finishing touches, Piolo Pascual recently did a pictorial for his own clothing line and a perfume named after him. And the pictorial was also sexy eventhough Piolo Pascual was in jeans. He looked buffed and animalistic (Animalistic daw oh!). There was sensuality and raw appeal in the pictorial, can’t wait for the billboards to spruce up the highways of Metro Manila! Yes, spruce up, as in decorate, not just advertise, he’s a sight to behold anyway. It would be fun if Piolo Pascual would strip down to his undies though. Crossing my fingers…

I just got this email, ridiculing once again Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby. The email’s subject said, “Dyosabel, Ang Tatalo Sa Dyesebel,” a pun on the upcoming Anne Curtis starrer, “Dyosa.” Anne Curtis is rumored to be the girlfriend of Sam Milby. And of course, the pic that accompanied the email is ultimately a dig on Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby who in the pic are depicted as mermaids ala Dyesebel. Mermaids or “sirena” in local parlance means “super sireyna, lol.” The email originated from a certain call center and although there is a warning of it not to be distributed aside from their circle, it spread like wildfire in the email inboxes of so many Filipinos, mostly yuppies.

And in the spirit of a must journalism ala Ces Drilon, it must be shared to my readers as well. A must journalism i declare, means, to always be in the presence of and/or in the midst of the action reporting..in short, kailangan kasali lagi..report lang ng report, kesehoda..so there..kahit ayaw ipa-publish ng mga nagforward, aba ikalat ba naman nila pagkatapos may disclaimer pa, ganun din yun noh!..(Disclaimer: BTW..the photo is Definitely photoshopped)..
