The third privately run TV network in the country recently got a makeover, thanks to Christopher Co Sy, chief executive of TV5, the company under the wings of Primemedia Inc. that bought a large chunk of the programming block of the cash-strapped and ratings laggard ABC-5, which former PLDT top gun Tonyboy Cojuangco acquired from Edward U. Tan (requiescat in pace).

The 39-year-old US educated Sy, possibly one of the youngest CEOs in the country, is brilliant (he graduated Magna Cum Laude at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a major in Economics, and earned his MBA at Columbia Business School), has the optimism common to young Filipinos who are willing to crack the solid wall of established businesses, the media included.

While his name may not ring a bell to many in the enatertainment industry, Sy’s portfolio includes a stint with EMI Music as a financial analyst when he was still living in New York where he met Alicia Colby whom he would eventually marry. They now have two daughters, Alexa, 8, and Audrey, 3.

Ayon sa source ng PEP na naroon mismo sa resto-bar, may pagkakataong umalis muna ng ilang minuto sa table nila si Rachel Anne. Sa abot-tingin ng source-witness ay pumunta ito ng restroom, sapagkat kung nakipagkuwentuhan lang ito sa ibang guests ay natanaw niya dapat ito.

Nang mawala sa mesa si Rachel Anne, and in plain sight ng iba pang guests sa resto-bar, biglang lumapit si Gretchen kay Ricky at naglambing umano nang husto sa lalaki. Sabi ng source-witness: “She was touching his hands, his face.” Dagdag pa nito: “She was practically nibbling at his ears!”

Ayon pa rin sa source-witness, hinalikan ng isang “looking drunk” na Gretchen si Ricky, na gumanti din daw ng halik. Hindi nga lang daw agresibo ang paghalik ni Ricky sa partner ng kanyang bayaw, kung ibabase sa body language nito.

Simula nang ikasal si Nikki Valdez kay Chris Lina, isang Filipino na nagtatrabaho sa Toronto, Canada, bilang sales manager for Lexus (a high-end car dealership ), hindi pa pala nakakauwi muli ng Pilipinas ang actress-singer simula nang sumama siya sa asawa noong July 2007.

Kahit noong nakaraang Pasko at Bagong Taon ay sa Canada pa rin daw sila nag-celebrate. Pero ayon kay Nikki, ibang experience naman ang nakaraang holidays niya since first Christmas at New Year nila itong magkasama as husband and wife.

“Wala nang mas sasarap pa sa Pasko and New Year sa Pinas. I do miss my family and friends so much , but I still keep in touch with a lot of them through email and live chat. Technology is the best! At least nakakatanggal konti ng homesickness ko. Hopefully this year, after I give birth, we can go home and visit everyone,” sabi ni Nikki, na nakausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa pamamagitan ng email.

Yes, Nikki is three months pregnant now! Isa raw ito sa talagang plano nilang mag-asawa since they got married. Ayon kay Nikki, so far ay okay naman ang pagbubuntis niya.

Sinisigurado ni John Prats na hindi siya makakasunod kay Shaina Magdayao pag-alis nito papuntang Japan this Tuesday, November 6, in time for her birthday.

On vacation ang family ni John sa Anilao, Batangas, for the long holidays. Umuwi lang si John sa Manila ng ilang oras noong Linggo, November 4, para sa pictorial ng kanyang festival entry this year, ang “Christmas Tree” episode ng Shake, Rattle & Roll 9 ng Regal Entertainment. After his shoot, bumalik na sa Anilao si John. Tuesday morning na ang uwi nila.

Since inamin na ni Shaina during her birthday presscon last week na nanliligaw nga sa kanya si John, ang young actor naman ang pinagsalita namin about this.

“Never naman akong nag-deny,” diin ng young actor. “Kaya lang, ang isinusulat noon, kami na, which is not true. If ever kami, I will not deny, hindi ko ikakahiya. Never ko lang kasing ginagamit ang salitang panliligaw, hindi ako nasi-sincere-an sa term.”

Hindi niya alam kung kailan at kung paano nagsimulang matipuhan niya si Shaina.

“Nagulat din ako. Matagal ko na siyang kilala, kasama pa siya ni Camille [Prats, John's sister], so I saw her grow up. Never kong plinano na ligawan siya, dumating na lang isang araw,” sabi ni John.

Eight attachments ang nakasama sa email na kumakalat. At orchestrated ang mga shots dahil parang naglalahad ito ng kwento.

Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nagsasalita si Gretchen sa mga issue pero nauna nang ipaabot ng publicity manager niyang si Boy Abunda na kuha ang mga eksena sa shooting ng isang bagong TV commercial ni Gretchen. Obvious naman daw ito sa bihis ng dalawa pati na rin ang kawalan ng pagkailang ni Gretchen sa mga kuha.
