Matteo umaming malapit nang pakasalan si Sarah!

Guess kung anong naging sagot ni Matteo Guidicelli sa tanong namin, kung kailan sila pakakasal ni Sarah Geronimo.

Quickly ba naman, nakangiti, aniya: “Soon.”

Sa naging next question namin kung seryoso siya, Matteo, this time, widened his smile.

We had the chance na makausap si Matteo sa kanyang soon-to-be released first co-starrer with Kim Chiu, the horror flick, The Ghost Bride.

Habang nakagawa na ng horror si Kim, ayon kay Matteo ay ito ang kanyang first time. Naka-experience kaya si Matteo ng kakaibang chills habang ginagawa ang movie?

Aside from Kim and Matteo, The Ghost Bride, produced by Star Cinema at directed by Chito Roño, stars, too, Alice Dixson, Christian Bables, Robert Seña, Beverly Salvejo, Isang Alvarez, Nanding Josef, Mon Confiado, Cacai Bautista, Victor Silayan at Jerome Ponce.

Featured ang hanggang ngayo’y aktibo at kilala pa ring radio host, si Luz Fernandez, now in her 80s.

Gladys at Christopher 25 na next year ang pagsasama!

Twenty five years na pala exactly next year ang pagsasama nina Gladys Reyes at Christopher Roxas.

Eleven years dito ay ang pagiging mag-boyfriend-girlfriend nila. Ang 14 years naman ay bilang mag-asawa.

They are each other’s first and only love. Thirteen years old lang si Christopher at 14 naman si Gladys nang maging mag-sweethearts sila. Kapwa sila mainstays noon ng drama series na Mara Clara, where Judy Ann Santos played Mara at si Gladys naman bilang Clara.

Noon sila ay magkatipan pa lang, nagmuntik-muntikan na raw silang maghiwalay. Eleven months daw silang hindi nagkikibuan.

Apat lahat ang anak nina Gladys at Christopher, ang pangay nila ay isa nang teenager samantalang baby pa ang kanilang bunso na isang lalaki rin.

Both still active sa showbiz, may negosyo rin silang pinagkakaabalahan. They have to prepare well daw for their children’s future, that’s why, anila.

Sylvia hindi na basta-basta pumapatol sa serye

Kung may pressure para kay Sylvia Sanchez ang gumanap na bida sa kanyang huling series, The Greatest Love, kung saan siya gumanap bilang ina na may Alzheimer’s disease, higit daw ang hirap ngayon na maihanap siya ng bagong project.

Not that she has become choosy somehow, since gumanap din siya ng short but memorable role bilang wife ni Dennis Padilla sa top-rating series na La Luna Sangre.

Ganun pa man, Sylvia is willing to wait, though, as, she heard, na baka in her next assignment, baka makatrabaho niya ang mga anak na sina Arjo at Ria (Atayde).

Individually, both Arjo and Ria have proven their worth as performers. Naging effective kontrabida kay Coco Martin si Arjo sa FPJ’s Ang Probinsiyano.

Isang dalagang ina naman sa child actress na si Heart Ramos si Ria sa seryeng My Dear Heart.
