Mark Herras is in several photos circulating on emails with the colegiala identified as one “Valerie Pornea” studying at the University of Sto. Tomas and is purportedly Mark Herras non-showbiz girlfriend. Note: Face of Valerie Pornea in the photos are not shown because she is not a public figure. I will only show it if she allows me too.

Showbiz Central was able to get some statement from Valerie Pornea in a sent text message which stated: “What for? Ide-deny rin naman ni Mark. Kayo na lang po ang bahala. If sa tingin n’yo kailangan, okey lang po.”

And surely, Mark Herras denies the rumored kolehiyala girlfriend or colegiala gf Valerie Pornea. “Hindi totoo ‘yan…marami lang ang nagpapalaki. Si Val, linawin ko lang…isa sa mga fan ko. Actually, hindi na nga lang din fan ang turing ko sa kanya, na ngayon ay inaaway ng mga tao na ayaw du’n sa love team namin ni Rhian Ramos. Basta ako ngayon, ang masasabi ko lang, single ako. Wala akong girlfriend”

In turn, Valerie was asked about her reaction to what Mark Herras has said.

“Sinabi po ba talaga ni Mark na fan niya lang ako? If yun po ang sabi niya…sige, fan lang po ako. Pero may fan po ba na isinasakay niya sa van niya? Pinapatulog sa bahay nila kung gabi na matapos ang taping? If gusto niya pumunta ako ng taping, hindi ako pumapasok sa school kasi, ang gusto niya, dun lang ako. ‘Tapos ngayon, fan niya lang ako?”

“Gusto niya gawin na lang din niya sa akin ang ginawa niya kay Lian [Paz]. Hindi ba unfair yun, kuya? Masakit din sa akin ‘to. Gusto ni Mark tumahimik ako. Tatahimik naman po ako. Pero sana tumahimik siya at hindi niya ipagkakalat na fan ako.

“Ano pa kayang mukha ang ihaharap ko sa mga classmates ko? Dapat nakinig ako sa mga friends ko dati pa.”

Mark Herras reacted by saying: “Alam ko ang totoo at alam din ng mga kasama ko ang totoo, kaya hindi ko na dapat patulan ang mga ganyan.”

“Sana huwag silang mangdamay ng ibang tao. Nananahimik yung bata, nag-aaral. ‘Tapos, like kapag sumasasama sa amin at gustong manood ng taping or SOP, sinasama namin. Alam ko marami pang lalabas na ganyang isyu, pero, sana , huwag silang mandamay ng ibang tao.”

The Sexbomb Dancers are on to the 19th Season of Daisy Siete entitled “Vaklushii.” What is the secret of Daisy Siete ’s success? The show strongly connects with its audience, i guess. It almost always tops the Daytime ratings game since its 1st Season. The new season “Vaklushii!,” is about the Sexbomb Girls posing as gay impersonators to achieve stardom. Vaklushii! started airing last Monday. It also stars Romnick Sarmenta and Felix Roco.

Could this be a sign that Judy Ann Santos star power has been diminished by her “System’s Loss TV Commercials?” Her supposed first major tv appearance and a formal announcement of her engagement to Ryan Agoncillo in Sharon Cuneta’s Sunday show, Sharon, only made it to no.7 in the ratings. The Ryan Agoncillo, Judy Ann Santos appearance in Sharon has been regularly plugged in almost all the tv shows of ABS-CBN from morning till night, in short, it was heavily promoted, but despite it, it only landed a dismal 7th.

Another Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 hottie is Hansen Nichols. Hansen Nichols at 25 went through a lot already. He was diagnosed with thyroid cancer after surviving a car crash and was told that he might not sing again. Then Hansen Nichols did not make the cut in the first season of Pinoy Dream Academy landing only in the Top 30. And in tonight’s episode of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 (PDA2) Hansen revealed that he had a rough family life (or the lack of it)  with his father. Hansen Nichols, if he appears to be familiar, is because he is a former member of the SOP Showboys in GMA.

Bemusing on life’s challenges and his move to the Philippines, Hansen Nichols said, “It’s worth the move, worth the sacrifice…It was a tough battle, but I’m still here.” He has a twin brother who is pursuing a Hollywood career.

R&B Princess Kyla and her parents who are now managing her career is said to have made talks with the management of ABS-CBN for a possible transfer to ABS-CBN. Recently, Kyla has dropped her manager, Cacai Velasquez, former singer and sister/manager of Regine Velasquez and made her parents her manager.

Talk is that Kyla is to transfer because of Heart Evangelista’s entry in SOP, the only show where Kyla is on in GMA. hmmm…

All in all if the talk is true or not, expect Kyla to have more projects if she remain with GMA or several projects too if she decides to transfer to ABS-CBN. Look at Regine Velasquez, she now has 3 shows in GMA namely: SOP, Songbird and the soon to be in primetime tv series, Ako si Kim Sam Soon.

Kyla’s lovelife is still going strong with cager Rich Alvarez (shown in the 2nd pic on the left)..
