What do they have in common?

Of course, you know what (in random order) Dolphy, Ramon Revilla, Joey Marquez and Robin Padilla have in common – yes, they are all great lovers, lady-killers, macho men.

But did you know that among them are no less than 80 children, with the number broken down as follows: Ramon (the highest scorer; that is, after the late Lou Salvador, Sr. who reportedly sired more than six dozen love children!) has 46, contrary to earlier reports that he has 87; Dolphy has 18; Joey has 11; and Robin has five.

Local showbiz’s macho men will reveal this and other hitherto undocumented things about them in tomorrow’s edition of Showbiz Stripped (GMA, 11:30 p.m. after Idol Ko Si Kap), in separate free-wheeling interviews.

They’ll talk about what they like (and don’t like) in women and how to handle them; what they think makes women stick to them with the tenacity of glue; what their "secret weapons" are, if any; and how they deal with their "exes."

At 76, Dolphy says that he doesn’t need a Viagra – yet – thank you. His beloved Zsa Zsa Padilla is more than enough to get him excited. Neither does Ramon who admits that his sex life is as active as ever.

It’s understood that being relatively younger, Joey (who claims to be "fancy-free" at the moment) and Robin (who insists that he’s faithful to his wife Liezl Sicangco whom he’s planning to marry – again – anytime this year) are as prolific as they have always been.

But did you know that all four unabashedly confess that they don’t know how to court a women. Honest?

So why do women find them irresistibly attractive?

Find out in tomorrow’s edition of Showbiz Stripped which yours truly co-hosts with Melanie Marquez.

Another Pinay on US top-hit chart

The other day, Funfare reported that California-based Pinay singer Josephine "Banig" Roberto’s new dance album has been on the top-hit list for more than four weeks now.

A Funfare source in New York said that another Pinay singer, Jenn Cuneta (yes, a relative of Sharon Cuneta), has also made it to the Top 10 list with her dance song Come Rain, Come Shine. Jenn, who once recorded for Strictly Rhythm’s label under the name J Cee, was here a few years ago and was introduced to local movie writers (this one included) by Alice Martinez of Re-Al Entertainment (which produces concerts in the East Coast, featuring artists from the Philippines, the latest being Magnificent 7: The Return of the Champions, slated for May 22 in New York; call 212-751-5620 for tickets).

Jenn’s Come Rain, Come Shine is the No. 4 most-played song on the XM BPM Dance station, while KPMG in San Francisco, 92.7 Energy FM, nas placed the song on regular rotation along with Sirius Radio and Music Choice. The song also gets "a ton of airplay" on the BPM channel for XM Radio.

Lance Raymundo ‘sighted’ in L.A.

Meanwhile, here’s good news about Lance Raymundo who was "sighted" by a Pinay fan in L.A.:

Greetings from California! I’m Cindy, originally from Metro Manila. My family and I moved here only two months ago.

I’m a big fan of Philippine showbiz and I can’t wait to get the TFC Channel here to keep me up to date. For now, it’s here in your column that I get all the latest news about my favorite stars.

Have heard any news about Lance Raymundo coming here and making it in showbiz here? Last week, when my Mom and I went shopping in down town L.A., we saw a shooting going on. Of course, we wanted to make usyoso. We were so surprised to see that it was Lance being filmed! He was in a dark suit and his hair was groomed like the style in the 1970’s movies. He was with another person, also in a suit, and they were shooting a scene where they were running. Paulit ulit yung scene na tumatakbo sila, mga four takes. It was so amazing! It makes me proud to be a Filipino kasi ang daming mga Amerikano na nanonood. Nagtataka lang ako na bakit walang balita tungkol dito? Is this a secret project ba? Siyempre I had to make sure si Lance Raymundo nga yun so I asked some people who the guy was and they said something like, "He’s a singer from Manila". Oh my God, si Lance Raymundo nga yun! My Mom and I really wanted to greet him sana, pero nahiya na kami lumapit because parang super busy sila.

(Note: Actually, Lance is being photographed in L.A. by a top celebrity lensman for a poster or something. He might be photographed in the nude.)
