Jolina Magdangal about Gabby Concepcion's last-minute decision to back out from their movie: "Ang feeling ko, magkaibigan kami... Nang pag-usapan na gagawa kami ng movie, talagang masaya, ‘tapos bigla kang aatras?" Dennis Mendoza (Jolina) & YES! (Gabby)

Angelika dela Cruz on whether she has plans of settling down: "Gusto ko munang mag-work. Na miss ko, e. Na-miss ko na mangarag. Parang yung feeling ko ngayon. Nami-miss ko yung ganitong feeling. Yung parang lutang ka sa pagod, ganun."

Riza Santos has replaced Marian Rivera to play the female lead in the first movie together of Dolphy and Vic Sotto.

Jolina Magdangal about her new look: "Plain Jane, pero something chic. Hindi pa-tweetums at hindi rin teacher ang dating, ayaw ng viewers ng teacher-looking. Pero hindi ko sinasabing pangit mag-ayos ang mga teacher. Young pa rin, pero respetado."

JC de Vera about his relationship with ex-girlfriend Michelle Madrigal: "Lahat ng pag-aalaga ay ibinigay ko sa kanya noong kami pa. Pero siguro nga hindi pa sapat ‘yon and maybe we were not meant to be talaga."

Jon Avila Shirtless in Underwear

The winner for Pinoy Big Brother is Ruben Gonzaga, the Visayan comedian. Congratulations! But since he's not the most pleasant person to look at, here's a few pics of Ethel Booba and the rest of the cast, hehe.
If you ask me, there is generally a pattern of who wins PBB as it reflects Filipino culture. People who are mayaman or who seem mayaman, i.e. foreign-raised Pinoys (William Devaughn, Jon Avila, Riza Santos with Mabuhay Beauties pic above), will never win Pinoy Big Brother because of a natural Filipino instinct of, and I don't want to use the two words, but the initals are C-M and it has something to do with a crustacean that is delicious to eat, because it's like, Pinoys don't want to vote for those who they already perceive to be rich (foreign-bred Pinoys), which seems logical, but is also illogical and a miseducated stereotype in the Philippines, because not all foreign-bred Pinoys are rich and floating in money as most Pinoys assume, nor are they always mayabang as they're automatically assumed to be by many.

Mayaman means rich in Tagalog, mayabang means conceited.
