Lovi, bibinyagan ni Piolo sa Kapamilya (Sabong News)

First leading man ni Lovi Poe sa kanyang gagawing first series sa Kapamilya ay si Piolo Pascual? Yes, nakapirma na ng contract si Lovi sa ABS-CBN after having been a Kapuso for the last 15 years. Piolo, meanwhile, has himself renewed his contract with ABS-CBN. It’s another exclusive contract. Piolo reportedly started his showbiz career at aged 17. Nagsimulang umarangkada ang kanyang showbiz career nang maging magka-love­team sila ni Judy Ann Santos in early 2000. Piolo is 44 years old. Well, Salve A., agree ka sa popular na kasabihang age is just a number? Well, again, Andrew E., now 54 years old, is out to prove it is, as he plays leading man in Vivamax film offering, Shoot! Shoot!: Di Ko Siya Titigilan. And guess what more? He has for co-stars two leading ladies na puwede na niyang maging mga anak, sina AJ Raval, 25 (birthdate: Sept. 30, 1995), at Sunshine Guimary, 26. A Bicolano, Andrew E. (for Espiritu), said dream daw talaga niya ang makapasok sa showbiz, but not as a bida. Natatandaan ni Andrew na nang mag-apply siya sa That’s Entertainment, sikat na variety show ng GMA Network and hosted by the late German Moreno, tapatang sinabihan siya na ‘di siya puwede. Finally, dumapo sa kanya ang suwerte, ani Andrew E., nang nilikha niya ang awiting Humanap Ka Ng Panget na siya rin mismo ang umawit. Well, the rest, masayang pag-amin ni Andrew E., is history. Ang pahabol nga pala, Salve A., ni Andrew E. na kapag sinuwerte pa siya, baka magkaroon siya ng mga intimate scene with both his young leading ladies. Wow. Well, ito ang wow na tunay na tunay na ‘pag nagkataon. Plano raw diumano ni Gretchen Barretto ang pasukin din ang pulitika. Wala pa raw tiyak na posisyon siyang tina-target, pero malamang na senador daw. Well, no wonder ang sorpresang ipinamigay niyang groceries, lalo’t sa members ng entertainment press kamakailan lang. Hindi na sa showbiz nakasentro ang, kumbaga, endeavor ni Gretchen, kundi sa sabong daw, of course, is a legitimate “pustahan” game show kasama ang negosyanteng si Atong Ang. Partner niya ang business tycoon na si Tony Boy Cojuangco and they have a daughter, Dominique, in her 20s, who finished college in a university in London. Like in his role as Andrei in Marry Me, Marry You, his new romantic comedy series with Janine Gutierrez, Paulo Avelino is open to marriage. Why did he not therefore marry LJ Reyes, with whom he has a nine-year-old son, Aki, he chose not to comment. As is common knowledge, LJ is now in New York with son, Aki, and her daughter with actor Paolo Contis, two-year-old Summer. As it is an open book why LJ and Paolo separated, no need to elaborate sa still pinag-uusapang “kuwentong” ito. Basta ang masasabi raw ni Paolo, worth wat­ching ang Marry Me, Marry You, as it is a truly entertaining panoorin. Directed by Dwein Rueda-Baltazar at Jojo Saguin, ini-stream ito weekdays. 9:30 p.m.
