For those who missed last weekend’s show biz news on TV (and why we are moved, if we are moved): Barbie Forteza on going home for Christmas, after shooting a movie in Italy: “I’m very excited. Kasi kahit naman sobrang ganda sa Italy, wala pa ring tatalo sa Pasko sa Pinas.” (No place like home.) Megan Young on working with boyfriend Mikael Daez in a new soap: “Medyo kinakabahan ako kasi alam kong tutuksuhin niya ako!” (Uyyy!) Ai-Ai delas Alas on the spirit of Christmas: “Christmas is for loving and giving. Pero arawaraw naman dapat nagmamahalan at nagbibigayan tayo.” (Korek!) Yasmien Kurdi on how she will spend Christmas: “Siguro magluluto lang ako sa house at kung sinong friends at relatives ang bumisita, welcome!” (Food, glorious, food!) Glaiza de Castro on being a godparent: “Iga- guide mo ’yung bata every chance you have. Para ka na rin nilang magulang ... so dapat maging good example ka.” (Agree!) Joross Gamboa, asked if he thinks he and costar Edgar Allan Guzman have a shot at winning MMFF best actor: “Kung puwede ’yung isa sa ’min best actress!” ( Ganern.) Jak Roberto on how he saved up for his dream car: “Bawas sa mga ’di kailangan, gaya ng mga mamahaling coffee at sapatos.” (Priorities.) Dennis Trillo on having three leading ladies in a soap: “Siyempre kailangang maging fit dahil sobrang sexy at magaganda mga katrabaho ko. So nag-a- adjust ako.” (Good boy.) Jessy Mendiola on her boyfriend Luis Manzano meet- ing her father: “Last time pumunta siya dito mga five years ago. So ngayon natuwa ako kasi he made time for me. Sobrang mapagbiro ang tatay ko so nu’ng nagkita sila puro sila jokes.” (Bonding time with future dad-in-law?) Jessy on choosing between love and career: “There are things in life na hindi mo maipagpapalit sa career.” (Hmmm... ) Maja Salvador on helping abused and abandoned children: “Na- experience ko ’yung hindi kumpleto ang pamilya, so kung puwede ... i- share mo lahat ng blessings na meron ka.” (Brava!) Maja’s Christmas plans: “Pupunta ako ng Canada to be with my family. ’Yung luto ng mommyko ... ’yun ang hinihingi ko—gusto ko ng sopas.” (Simplicity is beauty.)
