Denise Laurel, Pregnant?
It is everywhere - tabloid columns, online journals and blogs. Netizens are talking about it. Denise Laurel is pregnant. The culprit? Her basketball player boyfriend Diamon Simpson, who is now playing at Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
But Arnold Vegafria, the Kapamilya actress' talent manager, on Tuesday said there is no truth to the rumors that Denise is pregnant.
According to Arnold, Denise is laughing off the rumors. He said Denise, who just arrived home from a family trip to Vietnam, is far from being pregnant and she’s sexier than ever.
"'Yong pregnancy rumor about kay Denise, as of last week when we were together, I didn't see any changes sa katawan niya. Then, I asked her about it, sabi niya sa akin, 'No. Look at me, I'm still sexy. I know na may lumalabas na mga rumors that I'm pregnant.'" he said.
Arnold added, "Then, I asked her family. The family naman never said anything, kasi we were together sa family function nila. So, wala naman akong nakitang anything, and I asked them, wala."
The rumors, according to Arnold, started after Laurel’s character on teleserye “Kristine” suddenly disappeared.
Aside from the pregnancy issue, some speculated that the actress was taken out of the show because of attitude problems. But this was also disputed by her manager.
He disclosed that, based on the script, Laurel’s character would be taken out of the series. He did not reveal though if she will still come back or not.
"[Denise] is out of Kristine because it's part of the story of the teleserye. But I don't know kung kailan ang balik niya. May balik 'yan, e, hindi ko lang alam kung ano ang plano sa Kristine.
"But on Thursday or tonight, I'll try to get in touch with Lauren Dyogi kung ano ang plano nila sa show. One of my artists din kasi papasok sa Kristine." he clarified.
Arnold also admitted that what makes his ward uncomfortable is the fact that her role in the TV series is too sexy. "[We have] some complaints. Actually, it's not a complaint, it's just a little ano lang, sa role niya, because nagiging daring na daring yata ang role niya.
"Some of their themes, hindi niya magawa, uncomfortable pa siya." he said.

Video to Watch: Sabel - Full Trailer Starring Jessy Mendiola
Pretty young sexy Kapamilya actress Jessy Mendiola will play Sabel in the TV remake of the 1981 Joey Gosiengfiao film "Bata Pa Si Sabel" which starred Snooky Serna and Albert Martinez.
The 2010 remake is now simply titled as "Sabel" which marks Jessy's most daring role and her biggest break since being launched as Star Magic Batch 15 member in 2007.
But prior to "Sabel", Jessy actually was already getting good breaks. She played leading lady to the Giggerboys in "Your Song Presents: Boystown", was paired with Coco Martin in "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo" and led the young cast of "Gimik 2010".
Also getting their biggest breaks in "Sabel" are Giggerboys member AJ Perez and former GMA Artist Center talent Joseph Marco as Jessy's leading men.
Both attractive young men, here's how Jessy describes them on Twitter when asked by one of her followers as to who's more cute between AJ and Joseph: "cute si AJ, hunk si Joseph. Ha ha!"
A teaser is already being shown on TV and many have noticed that it's like "Katorse" aired last year and starred Erich Gonzales as Nene, Ejay Falcon, Enchong Dee and even Jessy herself in a guest role.
Even the promo shots above remind us very much of the said hit soap, which was also a remake of an 80's movie.
But Jessy is quick to differentiate "Sabel" from "Katorse" on Twitter and she said, "Parehas pong daring pero iba story and characteristics ni Nene at Sabel".
"Sabel" also stars Tonton Gutierrez, Glydel Mercado, Rita Avila and Raymond Bagatsing. It will replace Kokey @ Ako starting December 6, just 3 days after Jessy's 18th birthday.

Manny Pacquiao to Beyonce: "Sinong Beyonce?"
While Beyonce is all praises with Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, the 8-division world boxing champion seems not (or should I say 'never') to notice the international Pop Superstar.
Beyonce has named Pacman as one of her favorite athletes. In an interview with ESPN on Thanksgiving Day, Beyonce described Pacman as a "beast" in his boxing profession but is humble and "calm" deep down.
"When he gets in that ring, he is a beast! I love it!" she gushed.
The singer-actress-model also noted Pacman's personality inside and outside the ring.
"He showed that you can have humility and be a calm person and also be driven when it’s time and be a fighter,” Beyonce related.
She said she could relate to the Filipino boxing hero because he was "born" to do something.
"I love him because I really relate to people that were born to do something and get lost in the moment," she said.
However, when asked about his reaction to Beyonce's statement during the thanksgiving party conducted for him by Governor Singson at his Quezon City residence last night, Pacman surprisingly said, "Sinong Beyonce?"
Pacman is indeed a character.
Hahahahah!

Saying that she’s more comfortable with her body now, television host and singer-actress Iya Villania has decided to drop her sweet and wholesome image.
The 24-year-old MYX VJ was officially launched by Tanduay Distillers Inc. as its latest sultry calendar girl for 2011.
"Para hindi na nila sabihing masyado akong dry, para may kaunting excitement,” Iya said of her new image.

The Filipino Australian hottie assured that she will never compromise her personal beliefs despite the sudden shift in her image. “I still have my morals with me."
"Anything new that’s coming my way, why not, i-we-welcome ko lahat ang pagbabago as long as it's something I'm comfortable with," she said.
Iya also divulged that she was previously offered to pose for men's magazines, but she knew that it wasn't the right time yet. Also, posing for FHM magazine is still a no-no for her.
Did her boyfriend, Drew Arellano, approve of her decision to change her image?
“Drew has never stopped me from doing anything that I want to do. Sa kanya lang, as long as I'm not being told to do anything I am not comfortable to do with, he's full support," Iya said.
Iya now belongs to the roster of Tanduay's sexiest endorsers, namely Ehra Madrigal (2008), Bangs Garcia (2009) and Nina Jose (2010).

Here's an excerpt of the interviews with the Final 4 during the press launched held at the Studio B of TV5 Complex in Novaliches yesterday, November 28:
Question: Ini-expect ba nilang makapasok sa Final 4?
Eula: As for me, sobrang surprised, and I never expected naman talaga. But I hoped na sana makapasok po sa Top 4 at manalo ako.
Ritz: Tulad po ni Eula, hindi ko po ini-expect, lalo na noong bottom na po akong talaga. Kasi, madalas po akong ma-bottom noon. Hindi ko po ini-expect kaya masaya po ako na napasama po ako.
Morisette: Ako rin po, hindi ko rin po nai-expect na mapapasama po ako sa Top 4. Kasi maraming magaganda, may talento.
Christian: Actually, ini-expect ko na po na mapapasama ako sa Top 4, pero hindi ko po ini-expect na ako lang po ang mag-isang lalaki.
Q: Kung hindi sila ang manalo sa Star Factor, sino ang choice nila?
Christian: Para sa akin po, kung hindi po ako ang mananalo, ang gusto ko pong manalo ay si Morisette. Kung titingnan po natin sa mga past episodes, siya po yung okay po ang ipinakita.
Morisette: Ako naman po, para sa akin, si Eula po. Kasi, from Day 1 po, she really did improve. May looks, may personality, and very, very good.
Eula: For me, I'll vote for Christian because I know that he got looks and talents. Sobrang mabait din po, kaya siya yung nakakuha ng vote ko.
Ritz: Tingin ko rin po, si Christian. Kasi, mula pa po noong umpisa, puro positive na po ang kino-comment sa kanya ng Starmakers [judges] and marami rin po siyang nahahatak na fans.
Q: After Star Factor, guaranteed na raw na magkakaroon ng TV show ang mga finalist. Kung mangyari ito, sino sa mga artista ng TV5 ang gusto nilang makasama?
Ritz: Gusto ko po sanang makasama si Ruffa Gutierrez pa rin po, kasi nag-e-enjoy na po akong kasama siya. And then, gusto ko pa pong maging ka-close siya. Kung sa leading man naman po, okey na rin po si JC de Vera.
Eula: Gusto ko pong maka-work is si Tita Anabelle Rama because she's like a mother to us. And maybe kung magka-work na kami, magiging bonded kami and I'll get to know her more as a Cebuana also. At sa leading man naman po, gusto ko rin si JC de Vera.
Morisette: Ako naman po, gusto ko pa rin po na sila [Star Factor finalists] pa rin ang makakasama ko sa mga projects ko because I've known them, and parang we've grown and we're very, very close na po.
Christian: Katulad po ni Morisette, gusto ko pong makasama sila ulit, ang kapwa Star Factor hopefuls ko, dahil para na po kaming magkakakapatid. Kung sa leading lady naman po, si Danita Paner po. Crush ko po kasi siya.
Q: Kay Christian, may mga nang-iintriga kung bakit siya ang naiwan sa male contestants at nakapasok sa final. May nagsasabing kung sa hitsura lang naman ang pag-uusapan ay mas guwapo ang ibang natanggal. Ano ang masasabi niya rito?
Christian: Nirerespeto ko po ang opinion ng ibang tao kaya ayos lang po sa akin yun. Pero siyempre, hindi ako papayag, guwapo ako!
Q: Paano nila idedepensa ang sarili kapag naikukumpara sila sa ibang produkto ng artista search ng ABS-CBN (Star Circle Quest) at GMA-7 (StarStruck)? Na kesyo malayong-malayo ang lamang ng mga produkto ng ibang artista search kumpara sa kanila?
Ritz: Hindi naman po. Para sa akin po, tine-train po kami bawat isa. Yun naman po ang maipaglalaban namin sa kanila. Per talent, like acting, dancing, itinuturo, pati po modeling.
Eula: Ako naman po, ang masasabi ko riyan, may K [karapatan] rin kami sa kanila. Every day nag-i-improve kami. We get to look better and better, may improvement kami physically at sa mga talents namin. And every day, we're getting ready for this industry. Sa anumang puwedeng harapin namin dito, I can say, handa na kami.
Morisette: I believe na kaya naman namin, and yung advantage namin is we're fresh, we're young, raw pa ang mga talents namin, kaya marami pa kaming in store to use for the future.
Christian: Ganoon din po ang sasabihin ko, na mas fresh nga po kami at bata pa po kami. Yun po ang advantage namin. At mas mahaba ang time na mati-train kami.
Star Factor is hosted by Ruffa Gutierrez, with Audie Gemora, Joey Reyes, Raymund Isaac, Ryan Cayabyab, and Annabelle Rama serving as Starmakers.
