Kim Atienza lost to Vice Ganda. Days before the opening of the ongoing Metro Filmfest, Kim and Vice Ganda put up a P50,000 bet between them, with Kim predicting that Vice Ganda’s movie, Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy, would top the box office. Wrong. The movie is running second to My Little Bossings. Could it be the reason why Vice Ganda is reportedly crying a river?
Ai-Ai delas Alas has a good reason to end the year on a happy note. A Funfare DPA said that in exchange for her ex-husband Jed Salang to follow up the annulment of their barely month-old marriage in Las Vegas, Ai-Ai agreed to drop the charges she filed against Jed. Now both of them are fancy-free. Incidentally, as Funfare reported last week, Ai-Ai will make up for her absence in this year’s Metro Filmfest by starring with Vilma Santos in a planned Star Cinema entry in which Vilma will play Ai-Ai’s boss and their roles will be reversed toward the end of the story.

As soon as she hung up, Big Sister called the wife of the senator once linked to Little Sister and told the wife about it. Wasting no time, the wife called Little Sister and gave her a tongue-lashing and banged the phone on her.
