I AI de las Alas
"dares" action star Robin Padilla to woo her.
"At wala akong balak na urungan siya," she said,
referring to Robin, her leading man in "Ikaw Pa Rin, Bongga Ka Boy."
Is she serious?
"What do you think?" she asked back.
Doesn't she know Robin is married to Liezl Sicangco with whom
he has five children?
"I know," she said. "But you should remember Robin is a
Muslim. Kaya puwede siyang magkaroon ng apat na asawa.
"Iyon nga lang. Gusto ko ako ang gagawin niyang (wife)
number two, dahil taga Channel 2 ako," she added.
Seriously now, it is so easy to fall in love with Robin,
revealed Ai Ai. She said that during the filming of "Ikaw Pa Rin, Bongga Ka
Boy," he made her feel like a queen.
She elaborated: "Iyon bang tipong kapag may iu-utos ako sa
utility boy, before I know it, nasa harapan ko na siya ang may dala.
Talagang nakakabilib at nakakakilig siya."
In "Ikaw Pa Rin, Bongga Ka Boy," Ai Ai plays a veterinarian
who was just taken for a ride by her boyfriend of 15 years. Robin's role is that
of a fireman who is a hero in their place. His girlfriend, with whom he has a
son, left him for foreigner. Playing the role of Robin's son is Rap Rap Salazar,
who emerged first place winner in the reality show, "Little Big Star."
This action-comedy movie, produced by Viva Films, reunites
director Wenn Deramas and writer Mel del Rosario.
Direk Wenn said that when he and Mel took the project,
Viva big boss Vic del Rosario specifically instructed them on what kind of movie
"Ikaw Pa Rin" is to become.
"I want a movie that's not only entertaining but drives home
a social point as well. And I want it to be wholesome," said Boss Vic.

Angel Locsin is obviously unlike the other girls Luis "Lucky"
Manzano used to date because we have never seen him this frank and honest about
his feelings for a girl.
At a recent gathering where Luis was invited as host, he
reportedly kept referring to someone who is currently making him happy. Luis
didn't mention Angel's name but he did not really have to.
Even his mom, Batangas Governor Vilma Santos-Recto agrees
that she has never seen her firstborn so happy.
Does this mean that Luis has finally found his match in
Angel?

Nikki Valdez (remember her?), all the way from Toronto,
Canada, sent us a text message informing us that she is four months pregnant.
Although she is not yet sure of the baby's gender, she promised us she would
announce it to us as soon as she gets a confirmation.
Nikki married Cris Lina in July last year at the Don Bosco
Chapel in Makati. The two were sweethearts for almost four years before tying
the knot. Cris, a Canadian, is 10 years her senior. He was introduced to Nikki
by mutual friends. When she fell in love with him, she knew she would have to
give up her promising career as a singer and comedienne in the Philippines.
"Now that I'm a plain housewife here in Canada and a
soon-to-be mom, I am more than convinced that I made the right decision in
marrying Cris," Nikki related.

Baron Geisler and Dionne Monsanto are both "graduates" of "Pinoy
Big Brother" (PBB). But they were not housemates in Bahay ni Kuya because Dionne
was with PBB 2, while Baron was with the recently-concluded PBB Celebrity
Edition. But there is a report that the two are singing beautiful music
together.
When pressed for a reaction during the presscon of "Supahpapalicious,"
his new movie with Vhong Navarro and Valerie Concepcion, Baron chose not to
comment.
Dionne hails from Cebu City. She is in the Aga Muhlach-Anne Curtis movie,
"Waiting for Love," where she's paired with AJ Dee.
