Heartbroken Sarah

She had never openly admitted she and Rayver Cruz had something going, but Sarah Geronimo has now revealed being heartbroken when they broke up.

Sarah finally acknowledged the relationship with Rayver in an article in Yes Magazine.

“My mistake was believing that the person I had stood up for didn’t stand up for me. Mommy knows that. During our discussions, I really fought for him,” confessed the Popstar Princess to Yes Magazine editor --in-chief Joan Maglipon.

“In my dreams, I was screaming, crying, because I was really defending him. So it really hurts.”

It has long been rumored that Sarah’s mom Divine was against the relationship from the start. There were reports that Sarah had rebelled against her mom and threatened to leave home.

Sarah’s parents had explained they were strict because they were looking after their daughter’s future. Now it appears that mother knows best.

Rayver meanwhile reasoned that he got tired waiting for Sarah. Was that why he turned his attention to Cristine Reyes? The relationship crumbled after Sarah learned from her friend that Rayver was seeing Cristine. He denied this when Sarah confronted him.

I’m sure Sarah will get over the break-up. She is young, and the experience will make her stronger.

Along with Phil Younghusband, Emilio “Chiefy” Caligdong is perhaps the most popular member of the Azkals football squad. And like Phil, Chiefy has been thrust into controversy after declaring that he has a crush on film siren Angelica Panganiban.

Many consider it to be a dare to Angelica’s hunk of a boyfriend, Derek Ramsay. Is Derek ready to take on Chiefy? Not likely. In fact Derek is far from threatened.

He sees nothing wrong with someone having a crush on his girl. “A lot of guys develop a crush on her because she’s beautiful,” Derek said. He however didn’t back down from another challenge Chiefy hurled: To play one-on-one football. “I love a challenge and I've played football all my life. Win or lose, it would be fun," Ramsay said.

Say goodbye to the American TV sitcom Two and a Half Men.

CBS and Warner Bros. Television pulled the plug on the highly popular show after its star Charlie Sheen badmouthed the producer, Chuck Lorre, in a radio interview.

The 45-year-old Sheen, who went into rehabilitation for alcohol last January, hurled slanderous remarks at Lorre. "There's something this side of deplorable that a certain Chaim Levine — yeah, that's Chuck's real name — mistook this rock star for his own selfish exit strategy, bro,” railed Sheen. “Check it, Alex: I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that his unevolved mind cannot process.”

In a statement, CBS and Warner said the decision to stop the production of Two and a Half Men was based on the "totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition."
