MR BLIND ITEM IN SNN ON PIOLO PASCUAL-JOYCE RAMIREZ ISSUE

Mr Blind Item is indeed becoming the ultimate source of the latest, hottest, and juiciest entertainment news and gossips. Just last night, Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN) ran a story on the rumored romance between actor Piolo Pascual and international publicist Joyce Ramirez.

A few things that I noticed.  One was Piolo's intriguing wink in the end part while saying "We are friends... Wala yun..." Hmmm. What does that mean PJ?

As for Joyce, do we really accept her denial given her track record? Some even call her the denial queen for firmly denying her obvious relationship with football celebrity Phil Younghusband. Is she really just giving us a template answer to protect the Piolo-Kc Concepcion love team? Hmmmm.

MISS INTERNATIONAL LARA QUIGAMAN AND MARCO ALCARAZ, HAPPY TO HAVE THEIR FIRST 'BABY'

Lara with her baby Patchi

2005 Miss International Precious Lara Quigaman and her long-time boyfriend, actor Marco Alcaraz, is happy to have their first 'baby,' a symbol of their enduring love for one another.

Nope, Lara isn't on her way to motherhood. Neither she jumped into the craze of adopting a baby. Her beau simply surprised the beauty queen with a gift-- a female shih tzu named Patchi whom he purchased while the two were shopping together in Tiendesitas in Ortigas District.

Lara is compassionate with pets, and Marco noticed that. Patchi is actually her fifth dog-- she already has two chow-chows (one of which was given by an ex-boyfriend), a shih tzus, and a beagle.

Now I wonder, when would she this gorgeous couple walk down the aisle? Hopefully sooner.

BLIND ITEM#31: STAGE MOM OFFERED TO BUY TWO MAGAZINES' CIRCULATION TO HAVE SON ON THE COVER

For Stage Mom (SM), everyone has a price tag on their heads. This is why as a matter of practice she slaps cold cash to anyone who could be instrumental in achieving her Celebrity Son's (CS) childhood dream to be famous.

In two different occasions, SM offered to buy the full circulation of two popular monthly circulated magazines (amounting to millions of pesos, I presume) just to guarantee that her son lands on their covers. And she doesn't just want her son to be on the cover, she wants him to be on the cover all by himself. No asungot, not even a bigger star, beside him.

We'll I eventually saw him as the coverboy of one of the two magazines, does that mean a transaction has been made? I wonder.

BEKIMON LANDS MAJOR ROLE IN NEW ABS-CBN SOAP JUANITA BANANA

Gay comic icon and Youtube sensation Bekimon (Bern Josep Persia in real life) landed a major, major role in the new comedy soap Juanita Banana in ABS-CBN Channel 2.

Juanita Banana is a remake of the 1960s movie starring Rosemarie Sonora (in title role), Ricky Belmonte (as the magic dwarf Prince Rikitik), Pepito Rodriguez (as Gordo), and Bella Flores (as the evil stepmother of Juanita Banana). This rare Filipino magical musical is based on the folk belief that catching a teardrop from the banana tree will give a person magic powers.

Bekimon is extremely excited to start taping the episodes of Juanita Banana in an undisclosed location somewhere down south where bananas as abundant. He just had an acting workshop and script reading last Saturday with comedienne Beverly Salviejo-Lauzon. The soap opera's teasers have already began airing in the network yesterday.

Does this mean Bekimon is now a certified Kapamilya star?

BLIND ITEM #30: AWARD-GIVING BODY SURPRISED WALK-IN ACTRESS WITH TRIBUTE

She wasn't expecting it because she wasn't even nominated!

A Maturing Sexy Actress (MSA) got the biggest surprise of her life when an award-giving body recognized her for being a distinguished on screen thespian.

No, it's not another case of "Take it! Take it!" Manay Lolit was not behind it or even the actress. She was simply a walk-in at the awarding ceremony to show her moral support to a friend who won an award. She was even dressed in casual gimmick clothing, her hair was flat, and she barely put on makeup.

When called to accept her award on stage, MSA was visibly in disbelief and hesitant to accept the unnamed plaque and trophy. She was heard telling her friends on her table: "Ano ba 'to, pati ako na napadaan lang nagka-award!"

IS THAT MANILA'S TOP MODEL SEBASTIAN MONROE IN XTUBE VIDEOS?

Mr Blind Item got a juicy tip from one of his avid readers. One of Manila's top male models, 22-year-old French-German-Korean-Irish-Indian-Filipino Sebastian Monroe has uploaded videos in the site Xtube, the porn version of Youtube.

The 6-foot US-born Sebastian landed on the fashion pages of many glossy magazines and broadsheets, including a cover stint in Stella Magazine alongside celebrities Erich Gonzales and Victor Basa and Garage, during his stay here in Manila last year. He was also featured as one of the 2009 Cosmo 69 Bachelors.

Out of curiosity, I checked the site to confirm whether it was indeed my favorite model on the alleged videos. I was surprised to see his almost-perfect resemblance to the man who incidentally used "Sebastian Monroe" as an account name.

The videos are classified as VIP, meaning, only those with subscriptions can watch their entirety. Cost of subscription is between US$1.95 to US$29.95.  There are, however, 15-seconder video and photo teasers which depict him doing various sexual acts alone, including self-fellatio.

The big question is, was it really Sebastian?
