How about Martin Nievera? Does he foresee himself having an
apo anytime soon?
Well, this is not farfetched, as both Pops and Martin know
that their eldest son, Robin, is already 21 and has a girlfriend. The latter was
with him when Robin performed with his brother, Ram, 17, at the concert of
Martin at the Araneta Coliseum.
Robin is also about to finish college soon.
"Kaya mag-asawa man, halimbawa, si Robin after
college, walang puwedeng magsabing hindi siya handa. Kaya dapat lang na
humanda na ring maging Lolo at Lola sina Martin at Pops," said one
kibitzer.

Pops, in a recent interview, revealed that she’s happy that
boyfriend Jomari Yllana and her two kids, Robin and Ram, are finally getting
along well.
There was a time, after all, when the two openly disapproved
of their mom’s romance with Jomari.
"Pero, ngayon," said Pops. "At least, nakikita kong
nag-uusap sila. Sometimes the four of us go out to eat. We even watch movies
together."
But wedding bells will not yet ring for Pops and Jomari.
Unless Jomari takes back his promise to son, Andrei, that he will only consider
getting married again when he turns 18. Andrei is his son by former wife Aiko
Melendez and is now nine years old.

It was a presscon with a difference. Yes, the launch of
Penshoppe’s latest D-Side label, "The Limited Edition Bamboo Collection."
An exclusive Penshoppe’s men’s line, the collection was
inspired and conceptualized by Bamboo’s eclectic style.
The B-Side Collection was exhibited at the fashion-press
conference. Everything in the collection, handpicked by Bamboo, Ira, Nathan, and
Vic, were on display. You name it – caps, messenger bags, jeans to sharp
trousers, checkered polos to spunky graphic T-shirts – they have it.
Bamboo, of course, displayed his vocal prowess, too. With his
band, he did several numbers, all of which were applauded by everyone around,
the press included.
Like their album, the "A-Side" of which features his
mainstream hits, the "B-Side" his less popular yet more expressive songs
reflecting his other character, the B-Side Collection uncovers a side of Bamboo
rarely revealed to the public, each band member’s personal fashion statement.

Now it can be told that Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga almost
became sweethearts. In fact, the two of them had a "mutual understanding," MU
for short, for three months.
It was Toni who suggested that they had a "cool off." And Sam
said he had no choice but to accede to her decision.
Sam said that Anne Curtis knew about his near-romantic link
to Toni. Anne later became his girlfriend, according to Sam. They are now kaput,
though.
"But I want to win her back (Anne), no matter what," Sam
stated.
Anne and Toni are cast together as Sam’s leading ladies in
the teleserye, "Maging Sino Ka Man, Book Two," on ABS-CBN. In Star
Cinema’s soon-to-be released movie, "My Big Love," it’s just Sam and Toni
together.
"My Big Love," directed by new director Jade Castro, is the third team up of
Sam and Tony. Their first two films together were "You Are the One" and "You Got
Me," which both earned P100 million at the box office.
