Gabby's new gal, Manny's new man

By V. K.AGUSTIN and Co.


Gabby Lopez  &  Maricar Reyes

THE buzz is still current and nobody seems to be picking it up in showbiz and society media. ABS-CBN top honcho Gabby Lopez has been exclusively dating Maricar Reyes for quite sometime now. You got it right:The Maricar Reyes, the doctor-actress-model who figured in the infamous Hayden Kho sex-video scandal that shook Bong Revilla’s world.

In the September issue of the Makati-based New You magazine with Reyes on the cover, the good doctor from UST talks about her “new life” and the “new man” she now calls “special”. The little tales she tells, according to the magazine’s editor, reveal a certain intimacy that is to be expected of people who have something going for them.

Small wonder then that in the aftermath of the Hayden sex-video controversy, ABS-CBN really took pains in controlling the damage wrought by that “indiscretion”. Ever noticed how Maricar was featured in many Kapamilya shows, one after the other, until now? And her exposures are quite enviable to others in the Dos stable of talents.

Tongues may be wagging, but who would dare complain about the Big Brother’s favorites? There’s always a kind of hush, as the old Herman’s Hermits’ song goes, all over the world, in matters such as this. Even as the long lines of commercials, billboards, more magazine covers, TV shows and movies keep coming Maricar’s way.

By the way, does anybody know where Panjee Gonzalez-Tapales, Gabby’s former wife, has gone and what’s she up to these days? Of course, she could always go back to singing any old time, just as she did during her Manila InterCon days way back then the singer and the song remain the same, if you know what I mean.

Manny’s new man
G.B. Sampedro  &  Manny Pangilinan

THE other society whisper from another prominent multimedia magnate maybe careless, but there’s actually nothing new to such kind of loose talk proliferating the airwaves nowadays. So who’s Manny V. Pangilinan’s new man of the moment? An Eskinol Master?

Everybody’s talkin’ about a certain G.B. Sampedro, formerly of ABS-CBN (he directed Ruffa and Ai for Channel 2) and is now with MVP’s TV5, megging Paparazzi.

Never mind if the former Candy Pangilinan’s ex is rumored to have been engaged to the Brazilian Eat Bulaga import, Daiana Menezes. And soon to be married, as some say? Pray tell, Patrick G. and Gary E. (Ask Boy V.)

So what does Albert Martinez, he of the MMFF’s Rosario’s fame and infamy, say to all this? What, by the way, is the male counterpart of “mistress”? Shall we say “mistertress”? Or, or to be blunt about it, the gay counterpart of “mistress”? “Gaytress”, you say? Or “missedtress”?

At any rate, where’s Victor Neri, and whatever happened to his much-vaunted sex appeal that first caught the attention of a Quezon City Council Zombading in the early 1990s? The long line of many pre-Smart and PLDT men seems endless and always available. It’s an open secret—from San Beda to Singapore, from the PBA to Pennsylvania.

And nobody talks about “so little time” here since many are able like cable. In these parts, MVP indeed, has revolutionized not only the usual business as we do it but also the more personal business as he does it. Somehow, somewhere down the road, people would always know. Like we do.

Shalani’s dating a Roman?
Shalani Soledad & Roman Romulo

SO co-host Willie Revillame didn’t pass muster, despite the hawing and hewing in and out of the public eye? Which simply means Councilor Soledad Shalani is dating another guy, after the “Big Break” from the Perennial Bachelor from Times Street.

And now Madame Shalani is reportedly seeing a Roman, not the Italian type though, but the local variety from the city by the Pasig—Rep. Roman Romulo of the pedigreed clan from Valle Verde to the UN and other foreign affairs.

The Councilwoman meets the Congressman, and romance is ablooming in the air. Or so say some wags, including Dudot Jaworski (the guy RR defeated in the last Pasig contest for Congress), who must be shouting, “Shoot the ball!” from his side of the court.

But is the “Old Maid” from Malacanang keeping tabs of such happenings in his former turf? Go figure, Dingdong Dantes, and defeated councilman and Golden Gay user, Justo C. Justo of Pasay City must be screaming mad:“Echos lang, ‘Uday!”

Some comfort, gay Markova, right?
