BLIND ITEM #29: GOLD DIGGING ACTRESS TO MARRY MULTI-MILLIONAIRE'S HEIR

Money na, baka maging bato pa!

Gold Digging Actress (GDA) isn't taking any chances to secure her good future. She will do almost everything and anything to make sure that the Goodlooking Heir (GH) of a Filipino multi-millionaire will take her down the aisle soon.

But there is one legal impediment. GDA was once hastily and secretly married to her Hunky Boyfriend (HB) and she runs the risk of spending years in prison for bigamy.

A friend of HB said that GDA is expediting the dissolution of the first marriage because GH has already officially proposed to take her to the altar. Still in love with the beautiful actress, HB is tremendously hurt and depressed. He could not believe that GDA would end up choosing money instead of giving him another chance to make their short-lived marriage work.

Here's the reason why GDA is rushing her wedding with GH. The multi-millionaire's son is believed to be a womanizer and delays in their plans might just change the outcome of her future. Ika nga, pera na baka maging bato pa!

Paolo works hard to become a good father to Keira

Paolo looks very happy being a father

Noontime show host and actor Paolo Ballesteros embraces a new role in his life as a father to a beautiful and healthy two-year-old old daughter Keira Claire.

"It was exciting. I was right there when she was born in the United States," says Paolo, a regular host of the oldest noontime show in the Philippines Eat Bulaga. "We were actually born on the same date (November 29)."

Keira Potpot, as Paolo fondly call his first-born, is a product of a rekindled romance between him and his ex-girlfriend Kaye, who is now in the United States. The pregnancy wasn't planned but it was pleasantly accepted by the couple.

According to Paolo, Keira resembles his eyes, nose, head, and even his trademark dimples. Indeed, she is every inch his daughter.

Distance may tug the father and daughter apart but Paolo is determined to find a way to ensure that his baby grows up with his love and guidance. He saves up money for expensive airline tickets and keeps in touch with her with the help of the Internet.

Congratulations Paolo for having Keira in your life!

I will not be surprised if Keira becomes an actress or model someday.
She's very pretty.

BLIND ITEM #28: TV SHOW TO AXE SUSPECTED DRUGGIE HOST

Pretty Host would rather sleep than shoot her part.

A Pretty Host (PH) of a television show will soon receive the axe for being suspiciously too sluggish and sleepy during tapings, signs that she is, according to the production team, constantly under the influence of illegal drugs.

I was told that PH would always come to her tapings late and low-batt. Her eyes tell you that she would rather be in slumber than be facing the camera. Worse, her physical condition is affecting her performance at work. She could hardly read her spiels and would commit so many mistakes that results to more takes and longer taping hours. Likewise, she would sometimes leave the taping hanging and unfinished because is needed on the set of her more important hosting gig early.

You won't exactly be surprised if you'll find out who PH is. She literally grew up in parties and is surrounded by people who are prone to drug-use.

SEVEN FEISTIEST WOMEN IN PHILIPPINE SHOWBIZ TODAY

We may love or hate their feisty character but one thing is for sure, we can never ignore them. They speak their minds and fight for what they think is right. We give them their rightful airtime on television and form opinions on issues involving them. They are fearless, bold, and valiant. They are the seven feistiest women in Philippine showbiz today.

NO. 7 GRETCHEN BARRETTO

Gretchen attracts controversy in every step of her way. She has avid detractors and critics who do not tolerate her innate flamboyance and over-the-top personality. She has been accused of almost everything the human mind can imagine but she has repeatedly shown to us that she is not affected. Throw anything to her and she would always find a way to be Gretchen.

NO. 6 MARIAN RIVERA

Marian is a true-blue Cavitena. She is accused over a thousand times of being straightforward, tactless and confrontation. Behind her sweet and charming looks is a quick-tongued toughie who will fight until the end. She wasn't Darna for nothing, right?

NO. 5 LOLIT SOLIS

Manay Lolit is actually a nice lady in the closet. I've worked with her and she was surprisingly pleasant. But with a few lawsuits on her record and a lionhearted look, many rattle in her presence. They know exactly that she will not let one bad move unnoticed.

 NO. 4 ANNABELLE RAMA

Pick a fight with one of Annabelle's children and you'll be butchered to death by this feisty talent manager's no-hold-barred sharp tongue. She is a very protective mother who thinks of nothing but the best for her family. We all copy Annabelle's signature frankness complete with her distinct Cebuano accent. Tama ba, Dong?

NO. 3 KORINA SANCHEZ

One of the scariest thing that someone who wants a career on television can do is work with Korina. She demands professionalism and a lot common sense from everyone who is part of her show. She will not hesitate to blow right on your face your mistakes and incompetence. Korina is equally brave with the issues she tackles in her radio and television shows. Indeed she has the balls and she is the third feistiest woman on Philippine showbiz.

NO. 2 ANGELICA PANGANIBAN

I agree with Mr M, you may accuse Angelica of anything but being a liar. The former child actress is the perfect real life version of "Rubi," her character in campy telenovela based on a Latin American soap. She is bidang contravida. Whether you like it or not, you would her from her a piece of her mind. She will not leave a fight with scarring her enemy's face. Her Twitter account is worth following.

NO. 1 CRISTY FERMIN

In as much as I tried avoiding the predictable, I have no choice but place Juicy and Paparazzi host Cristy Fermin on the No. 1 spot-- a much deserved title. Most of the bravest and juiciest entertainment news today comes straight from her mouth. She doesn't hesitate to attack her enemies and defend herself on national television and in her tabloid columns. Do not get into her way and you would end up crashed and damaged. 

BLIND ITEM #27: SEXY COMEDIENNE STALKED DASHING BACHELOR

Sexy Comedienne must have been inspired by the movie "Pretty Woman"

Highly-respected Dashing Bachelor (DB) is a popular society playboy. He charms women-- young and old, Filipino or foreign, classy or cheap-- with his distinctly Mediterranean good looks and an impressive resume which includes international recognitions.

DB is profoundly proud of his black book of women he slept with and left heartbroken except for a few entries, the most embarrassing perhaps is Sexy Comedienne (SC) who is completely out of his league. The flirty comedienne who was once linked to local government official seduced DB and successfully led him to her bed.

For DB, it was just another one night stand but SC thought otherwise. She imagined walking down the aisle with her new-found Mr. Perfect and actually believed that by making her presence felt, she would be able to make him fall in love with her.

And so the stalking started. SC bombarded him with sweet nothing in her text messages and constantly checked out his whereabouts. Of course DB was annoyed especially after he found out that SC began researching and confronting the other women that he was then dating (or simply fucking). The stalking eventually ended after weeks of unwanted silence from DB.

PRESIDENT NOYNOY-SHALANI BREAKUP, BECOMING MORE AND MORE OBVIOUS?

Two weeks after Mr Blind Item broke the news that President Noynoy Aquino and Valenzuela Councilor Shalani Soledad have parted ways, the truth is becoming more and more obvious.

Shalani, who earlier denied this blog's scoop on the breakup, is now evading the question whether she remains to be the first-lady-in-the-waiting of the first bachelor Philippine president.

In a news story aired on GMA-7's news program "24 Oras," reporter Lhar Santiago asked Shalani to deny nor confirm the gossips that she has called it quits with Noynoy.

"No na Lhar thank you... Next time na lang!" Shalani replied, insisting that the status of her relationship with P-Noy is a personal matter that she would rather not talk about.

There's also been no sightings at all of the presidential sweethearts since the breakup issue came out. A Palace aide told Mr Blind Item before that Shalani's apparent exclusion from the President's official and personal functions began months ago, after her boyfriend was installed as the most powerful man of the land. Since then, she has likewise not been receiving calls, and even text messages from him (but that is understandable because he must be extremely busy serving our nation.)

So if the Noynoy-Shalani romance is over, why can't the couple just make it public?

According to my source, dumping the charming, elegant, and fragile-looking Shalani would make Noynoy appear ike the nation's biggest jerk. Seeing the broken-hearted Valenzuela councilor cry in public over the breakup would damage the President's popularity, especially among women.

Or maybe Noynoy and Shalani have not exactly split up yet but just in this romantic purgatory that Facebook called "It's Complicated." There's nothing really wrong about it. They are after all just like any average couple around, trying to figure out each day if they are really meant for each other.
