INKEE Pacquiao,
wife of Manny Pacquiao, can laugh now at the rumor that something more than
friendship happened to her husband and Ara Mina during the filming of "Anak ng
Kumander," which Manny produced and entered in the last Metro Manila Film
Festival.
"Wala daw siyang naki-tang ebidensiya," said our
source. "In fact, hindi rin si Jinkee naniniwalang Man-ny gifted
Ara with anything expensive."
In any case, here’s how much Manny reportedly earned in his
last fight against Marquez: A cool $8.5 million.
At P41 to a dollar, you’ll get an idea how much that amount
is here.
This, of course, does not include the pay-per view rights,
the amount Manny received for the TV rights and the new endorsements he got
after the bout.
Manny is preparing for another fight soon

Former "Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus" (PBBTEP)
housemate Kevin developed crush on Anne Curtis right after he and his father
John left the house.
Kevin saw Anne in person in the talk program, "The Buzz,"
last Sunday. He felt immediate attraction. Father and son were featured in "The
Buzz" last Sunday. After seeing Anne, Kevin said: "She’s not only beautiful but
very nice as well."
Kevin promises to watch Anne’s new movie, "When Love Begins,"
also starring Aga Muhlach, which opened April 30 in more than 100 theaters
nationwide.
Kevin is currently staying with his dad and the two other
evictees, Jeriel and Linda, and their parents, in the PBB dorm.
***
Kevin said that it’s his dad who has Filipino blood.
"He has relatives here," related Kevin. "When he was younger,
he often visited the Philippines.
"My stint in PBB is not the first time that I visited the
Philippines. I was here with my dad before but I was still very young then," he
added.
Kevin said he is familiar with "Pinoy Big Brother" because
they are The Filipino Channel (TFC) subscribers in Madrid, Spain, where they
reside.
When he heard about the auditions for "Pinoy Big Brother:
Teen Edition Plus" in Madrid, he asked for his father’s advice. "His words were
encouraging," Kevin related.
John, in an interview with him and the other evictees, said
it was Kevin’s decision to voluntarily exit Big Brother’s house.
"He’s the reason why I was in Kuya’s house. I abide by his
decision," stated John.
John is now estranged from Kevin’s Spanish mom, but they
remain close.

Linda, 16, looks a bit overweight. "Masarap ho kasing
kumain. Lalo sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya," she said.
She stands 5’6" and looks like a potential movie star. She
doesn’t mind wearing bikinis. She emerged as the winner in a bikini contest
which she joined in Camarines Sur (yes, Linda is a Bicolana).
It was her mom and aunts who prodded her to join the audition
for the PBB. They live in Ligao and the audition was in Naga City.
Asked if she wants to be a movie star, Linda said joining
showbiz was never a part of her dream.
"But if it will help me give my family a better life, why
not?" she declared.
***
Jeriel said her stay in Kuya’s house helped minimize her
undesirable traits. She appreciates having won some new friends because of her
stay in Big Brother’s house.
Jeriel plans to juggle studies and showbiz. She wants to give
showbiz a try, but not at the expense of her studies.
This coming school year, she plans to take up dentistry.
