MEXICAN superstar Thalia recently pulled an elaborate joke on her Instagram followers, days after television host Kris Aquino opened up the rumors about the Mexican superstar’s slim figure. In last week’s episode of “Aquino & Abunda Tonight,” Aquino asked guest Beauty Gonzalez, who shared the secret behind her slim and sexy figure on the show, if she had her ribs removed to achieve a slim waistline. Aquino then related the long-standing rumor that Thalia had gone under the knife to get her slim waist. Days after the interview, the 42-year-old Mexican actress took to Instagram to clear the stories about her infamous ribs. She initially uploaded a photo of a glass jar containing her ribs to “confirm” the rumor. She said she kept them as a “souvenir.” Thalia wrote: “To all my loving Filipino fans, here is the proof. I love my famous ribs. I kept them with me all these years.” But what seems to be her infamous ribs turned into a joke when singer/actress posted a day after that it was just a trick. “Nope, not mine,” she said. Thalia then posted a picture of a Spicy Pork Spare Ribs dish. After the whole hullabaloo, the singer invited Aquino, her close friend Boy Abunda and news personality Anthony Taberna to have a meal with her and even said she would cook Bulalo. Her only request from Aquino is to bring Halo-Halo, Sisig and Ensaymada once they meet up. “To all my Filipino fans, Tadaaaa!!! Here is my famous Read More …

GABRIEL Valenciano has revealed why he decided to cut short his journey in Season 8 of hit reality talent search “America’s Got Talent.” The 26-year-old caught the attention of the show’s judges when he performed his super selfie dance number. It was then reported that he eventually passed the early stages of the competition. A few months after confirming this, Valenciano decided to quit the program and follow his career goals. “When people ask me, ‘did you actually make it to the judging?’ Yes, I made it pero when we got deeper into it, me, my Mom and Dad, we all talked about it and we all realized you’ll never be assured na you will really make it,” he said in Cinema News. According to Gab, he’s planning to build his own media and production company in the States to practice his degree in music, which he earned from Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. He’s currently on a one-month vacation in the Philippines to be with his family and fiancé, Filipino-Spanish and Australia-raised Tricia Centenera. “Babalik ako doon para i-practice yung napag-aralan ko.

Aside from taking a short break, Gab and Tricia are also planning their February 2015 wedding in Tagaytay City. He disclosed that it will be a very intimate event, inviting only closest family members and friends. After the wedding, Gab said they will celebrate with their immediate families Read More …

ACTRESS Jessy Mendiola clarified reports that a Colombian suitor followed her during her latest trip to Jeju Island in South Korea. In an interview with the 21-year-old actress, Mendiola said that she had met Sebastian Lopez, a Colombian traveler, when she was vacationing with family and friends in Boracay Island in Aklan. She said Lopez travelled for almost a year and has now returned to Colombia to study. “He’s a traveler. Nagkataon lang na nagpunta siya sa Philippines tapos nag Boracay siya. Doon ko lang siya na-meet. Natapunan ko lang siya ng drink,” she recalled. “Nakakatuwa siya kasi lahat ng nasa paligid ko kinakausap niya. I think that is common with travelers. Kasi alone siya and you have to talk to people to go to places. In my case, natuwa ako sa kanya kasi hindi naman kami ganun katagal magkakilala but he followed me in Jeju,” she added. The ABS-CBN actress said Lopez told her that he’s also going to Korea but she was surprised when he actually followed her group in Jeju. “We just talked about our next trips after Boracay and he said and next stop niya is Korea. Masaya kasi siyang kasama. Hindi ko kasi inakala na pupuntahan niya ako sa Jeju and effort yun,” she added. The actress also disclosed that even if the 19-year-old is now back in Colombia, they constantly communicate with each other. When asked if Lopez is already courting her, Mendiola said she is just happy that she met him. “Wala pa Read More …
