ceremony initially kept secret even from their 

respective families

-By ALEX VALENTIN BROSAS (Manila Bulletin)

MANILA, Philippines - Sunshine Cruz slammed rumors that she’s gotten jealous of her husband Cesar Montano’s leading lady, Sam Pinto.

“Kung sa pagsubok at pagsubok, ang dami na naming pagsubok na dinaanan talaga. ‘Pag kami lang dalawa,ang iisipin namin --- ‘yung isa’t isa at wala kaming Diyos--- ay naku magulo ‘yon, magulo ‘yon at hindi kami magtatagal.

"So, we never talk about it at kung pag-uusapan namin, I would just say, ‘Sa trailer ang sexy naman ni Sam.’  If before I was a jealous wife, that’s normal. But now, no. I love Sam Pinto,” Sunshine explained in a phone interview aired on “Showbiz Central,” Feb. 12.

Sunshine said Cesar’s a changed man.

“Malaki ang ipinagbago ng asawa ko. Kung maibabalik ko man ‘yung nakaraan or papiliin man ako [ay] siya pa rin ang pipiliin ko.”

Regarding relationship, Cesar also explained, “We’ve grown sa relasyon namin. Nalaman na namin kung ano ‘yung tama o mali, kung paano kami mag-a-adjust.”

As to his leading man in “Hitman,” the actor admits that, “Si Sam, sa totoo lang kaselos-selos, napakaseksi at napakaganda. But ‘yung pagmamahalan namin [ni Sunshine[ ay mas matibay [kaysa] doon sa pagseselos.”

He then explained that could have started the rumor linking them together.

“Karamihan sa movie may love angle ‘yan, kung paano nagkaroon ng relasyon ‘yung both characters. May kissing scene dito, may love scene dito.  Alam mo it will invite fabulous speculations sa mga tao.”

Cesar also affirmed his wife’s earlier statement about outgrowing the "jealous wife" phase.

“Alam mo hindi na nagseselos yan. Kahit na ano nga, hindi na nagseselos sa akin ‘yan, eh. Minsan sinasadya ko na hindi pa rin nagseselos ‘yan, eh.”

Interestingly, Sunshine revealed that she and Cesar married twice, the first wedding  kept secret even from their respective families.

“Sa Feb. 23 is our 12th year wedding anniversary. Nakakatawa kasi ito ‘yung first wedding namin na walang nakakaalam. Even my parents and ‘yung sa side din ni Buboy didn’t know about this until we got married Sept. 14 sa Coconut Palace,” she said.

So, what makes them tick as a couple?

“Through prayers, ako po ay salbahe pa rin but through prayers, sabi ko ‘wag nating aalisin itong pagdadasal sa ating pamilya. The family that prays together sticks together,” Cesar shared.

I never said those things in interview, protests Grace Lee

MANILA, Philippines—TV host Grace Lee wants journalist Ellen Tordesillas to “formally apologize to the public” for a report that appeared on Monday in the Inquirer quoting Lee as having said that she hoped her relationship with President Benigno Aquino III would go “the full length.”
In her tweet @gracelee899, Lee described the article as “very false n vile.” The tweet was posted at 10:30 a.m. Monday.
In an earlier tweet, Lee said the article titled “Grace Lee sees herself marrying P-Noy” was a “lie.”
Later in the afternoon, Lee tagged @dziq990 in yet another tweet, saying, “I’m deeply offended that a journalist like Ellen Tordesillas would write an article of lies to sensationalize one’s private life. I never said anything remotely close to what her write-up says I did.”
Lee also asked Tordesillas to identify the source “who claims to have spoken to me regarding the PSG (Presidential Security Group) issue as this is not to be taken lightly.”
In the story, Tordesillas reported that Lee revealed that the President had offered to provide her with a security detail from the PSG.
Lee followed up the tirades with a light-hearted tweet at about 3 p.m. which said: “Ok enough na…. can’t let this affect me the whole day.  natatalo positivity ko! let’s cook! haven’t eaten whole day.”
Lee also on Monday sent a text message to Tordesillas informing the Vera Files reporter that it was her coanchor, DJ Suzy, and not herself who had said that the relationship between Lee and Mr. Aquino was headed for the altar.
Lee made the clarification in reaction to the Vera Files story that said she saw herself tying the knot with the President.
In her text message, Lee said, “The only points about your article I want to clarify is that I never uttered the words ‘altar’ or anything that might hint to desiring marriage.”
Lee later said in a phone interview with Tordesillas that the talk of she and the President ending up at the altar was part of the banter between hosts of the program, “Good Times in the Morning” which airs over FM radio station 89.9.
Lee said it was Suzy who replied, “the full length” when asked by New York-based DJ Mo Twister how long the relationship would last.
She also clarified that she did not say “I’m praying for this,” in referring to her relationship with Mr. Aquino. “What I said is that I pray everything will go well,” she said.

LOS ANGELES—Whitney Houston’s life of glorious song and unnerving self-destruction apparently ended in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Grammy weekend, but it could be weeks before investigators know exactly why she died.

Coroner’s officials say they will not release any information on an autopsy performed Sunday at the request of detectives investigating the singer’s death. Houston was found in the bathtub of her room, but Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter declined to say anything more about the room’s condition or any evidence investigators recovered.
There were no indications of foul play and no obvious signs of trauma on Houston’s body. Winter said toxicology tests, which would take six to eight weeks to conduct, would be necessary to determine what factor, if any, might have played in Houston’s death.

Winter declined to comment on media reports that Houston had drowned in her hotel bathtub, possibly after succumbing to drugs or alcohol.

“I’d just comment that she was found in the bathtub. … I believe somebody removed her from the bathtub and the paramedics did CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on her.”
He also said a “security hold” had been placed on the case.
A death in the family

The coroner’s briefing came as the Grammy Awards opened a few kilometers away at the Staples Center, where rapper-actor LL Cool J paid tribute to the late pop star just after the start of the star-studded show.
“We’ve had a death in our family and so at least for me … The only thing that feels right is to begin with a prayer for a woman we loved, for our fallen sister,” he said.

Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said his agency may release more details on Monday about Houston’s death, but it will depend on whether detectives feel comfortable releasing any information. -Read full story here, by Anthony McCartney, Associated Press.

PHILSTAR: Enter the Dragon

SPORTING CHANCE By Joaquin Henson (The Philippine Star)

The Year of the Dragon has unveiled a player of Chinese descent to breathe fire into the NBA this season. Jeremy Lin, 23, was born in Los Angeles to Chinese parents with roots to Taipei and now plays for the New York Knicks. Last campaign, Lin averaged 2.6 points in 26 games for the Golden State Warriors and was more of a promotional attraction for the Bay Area’s large Asian community than a serious contributor on the hardcourt. In fact, he was cut by the Warriors and the Houston Rockets before the Knicks gave him a chance. Displaying fiery form, Lin shot 28 against Utah, 23 against Washington and 38 against the Los Angeles Lakers to score the most points by an NBA cager in his first three career starts since 1976-77. His eruption in the Lakers game overshadowed Kobe Bryant’s 34-point explosion.

At the moment, Lin is averaging 11.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 14 outings. He’s shooting .496 from the field, .770 from the line and a dismal .167 from three-point distance. Slowly, the opposition is starting to take notice and clamping down defensively on Lin. What makes Lin special is his ability to create. He makes no-look blind passes to wide open teammates for easy baskets, penetrates with an eye to dish and doesn’t hesitate to take tough shots on strong moves to the hole. His basketball IQ is exemplary. He’s got a point guard mentality with a wing’s shooting ability.

Obviously, Lin is smart. He earned an economics degree at Harvard University which as is the rule among Ivy League schools, doesn’t award athletic scholarships. Lin finished with a grade point average of 3.1. Aside from excelling in the classroom, Lin was outstanding on the court, ending his four-year varsity career as the first Ivy Leaguer to compile at least 1,450 points, 450 rebounds, 400 assists and 200 steals.

In his last three years at Harvard, Lin’s coach was former Duke guard Tommy Amaker who previously called the shots at Seton Hall and Michigan. Amaker is known to Filipino fans as a member of coach Gene Keady’s US collegiate all-star squad that lost to Ron Jacobs’ Philippine team in overtime in the 1985 Jones Cup finals. As a Harvard rookie, Lin averaged 4.8 points and 2.5 rebounds as coach Frank Sullivan took the varsity to a 12-16 record in his 16th year at the helm. Amaker took over the next year and piloted the varsity to an 8-22 mark to 14-14 and finally, to 21-8 in Lin’s senior season. Lin averaged 12.6 points as a sophomore, 17.8 points as a junior and 16.4 points as a senior.

“Jeremy’s a throwback, a complete player with a great deal of energy and competitiveness,” said Amaker quoted by Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook. “It’s no longer good enough to drive himself. Now, it’s time to bring others along with him.” And that’s his situation in New York. With his numbers, Lin is in a position to make better players out of his teammates. Surely, the Knicks – now on a five-game winning streak but only in third place in the Atlantic Division with a 13-15 record – can only get better when Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire rejoin the club.

Lin won’t ever become a Michael Jordan or even a Kobe. It’s not his style to shine individually. He’ll thrive in pick-and-rolls, dribble-drives and kick-outs. Coach Mike D’Antoni must realize Lin can’t be thrust into a situation where he puts the Knicks on his shoulders. He’s far from being a LeBron James or a Dwyane Wade. But it’s clear that the Warriors and Rockets made a big mistake in letting him go. Lin has a role to play with the Knicks and in the NBA. He brings hope to Asians who dream of someday breaking into the majors. Before Lin, there were only five players of Asian descent to make it to the NBA. Wat Misaka, born in Utah to Japanese parents, played three games for the Knicks in 1947-48. Raymond Townsend of UCLA saw action for the Warriors and Indiana Pacers in 1978-82. His mother Virginia Marella is from Balayan, Batangas. Rex Walters, Corey Gaines and Robert Swift had Japanese lineage.

Among the Ivy Leaguers who saw action in the NBA were Dartmouth’s George Munroe (later chairman of Phelps-Dodge) and Rudy LaRusso, Columbia’s Jim McMillian (with the Los Angeles Lakers) and Jack Molinas and Princeton’s Bill Bradley (later a senator), Geoff Petrie, Brian Taylor and Bud Palmer. An Ivy Leaguer who played in the PBA as an import was Cornell’s Philippine-born Alex Compton, now assistant coach with Powerade.

Who will coach the East in the NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 26 in Orlando? The West coach has been determined to be Oklahoma City’s Scott Brooks with the Thunder showing the way in the conference. But in the East, it’s a dogfight between Chicago’s Tom Thibodeau and Miami’s Fil-Am coach Erik Spoelstra. Cut-off date is Feb. 15 so the team that is on top of the East by then will anoint the All-Star coach.

Right now, Chicago is 23-7 with a game against lowly Sacramento left before the cut-off. Miami is 21-7 with games against Milwaukee and Indiana to go. The East squad is made up of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony as starters with Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Andre Igoudala, Deron Williams, Roy Hibbert, Chris Bosh and Luol Deng as reserves. The West is composed of Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant and Andrew Bynum as starters with Russell Westrbook, Steve Nash, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love, Marc Gasol, Tony Parker and Dirk Nowitzki as reserves.

Fans voted the starters. Coaches voted for the reserves in their conference. They weren’t allowed to vote for their own players. The limitation for the reserves was to fill in two guards, two forwards, a center and two others of any position for each team. In the East, Rajan Rondo should’ve been named, maybe instead of Williams. In the West, Monta Ellis deserved a spot.

Betong is new Celebrity Sole Survivor

MANILA, Philippines - After 36 days of severe challenges, comedian-host castaway Albert “Betong” Sumaya Jr. is now P3M richer after he was named Celebrity Sole Survivor last Friday night during the live grand finale of Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Doubles Showdown.

Held live at the GMA Network Studios, Betong emerged as this season’s winner after four out of seven jury members cast their votes in his favor.  He won against Stef Prescott and Mara Yokohama.

Betong was introduced in the recently-concluded season of Survivor Philippines with his partner Maey Bautista. Known as the Comic Duo, their tandem even made it to the final five together with castaways Stef, Mara, and KC Montero. In an unexpected turn of events, Maey and KC were voted off leaving behind Betong, Mara and Stef to compete for the title and the cash prize.

During their last night in the Survivor island, the jury — consisted of Chuckie Dreyfus, Arthur Solinap, John Odulio, Gino dela Peña, Arnold Aninion, Maey and KC — cast their votes in favor of the castaway they think deserving of the title of Celebrity Sole Survivor.

Host Richard Gutierrez read the votes cast by the jury. Betong received four votes while Mara had two votes, and one vote for Stef.

The grand finale of Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Doubles Showdown #SurvivorPHfinale became a trending topic on Twitter.

Also present in the finale were other castaways Geneva Cruz, Jackie Forster, Ellen Adarna, Filo Cucueco, Aifha Medina, Alyssa Alano, Maria Isabel Lopez, Isabel Granada and Carlo Gonzalez.

Pauleen Luna Collapsed while hosting the Eat Bulaga segment "Juan For All, All For Juan" in Davao City earlier today, February 13, 2012.  While Paluleen Luna fainted in the show, some rumors already spread through the internet and social networking sites that Pauleen is preagnant, and according to mykiru.ph 'Vic Sotto' the main host of Eat Bulaga was now committed to  Pauleen Luna.


But maybe Pauleen Luna, (on their way to the said game) just like 'Allan K' said, that she fainted due to 'sobrang pagod at hilo sa biyahe'.
