Yeng mamadaliin ang kasal, sobrang in love sa bf

Wow, Salve A., ’di kaya one of these days ay bigla na lang ma-realize natin na may dearth of single celebrities in showbiz?

What with the current report that, aside from the list of artista, who have confirmed their upcoming wedding this year — such as Karylle (to band leader and soloist Yael Yuzon), Miriam Quiambao (to non-showbiz Ardy Roberto), and Boots Anson-Roa (to non-showbiz lawyer King Rodrigo) — pop rock star and former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Academy champ Yeng Constantino, and Denise Laurel may soon get married, too.

Yes, she is now engaged, she admitted in print, to boyfriend of a year Victor Asuncion, a worship director ng isang Christian church sa Greenhills, San Juan City.

Wala pang tiyak na date na binabanggit si Yeng kung kelan nila balak pakasal ni Victor. But it could be anytime soon kasi, Yeng revealed, sobra ang na­da­rama nilang pag-ibig sa isa’t isa.

Ganun din ang suspetsang posibleng magaganap between Denise Laurel and cager boyfriend Solomon ‘‘Sol’’ Mercado.

Tanggap ng binata ang pagkakaroon ng anak ni Denise out of wedlock. The boy, we heard, is two years old.

Happily for Denise kahit ang kanyang followers accepted ang kasalukuyan niyang status. She is winning kudos of her acting sa Annaliza, na sayang at magtatapos na.

She was in the cast, too, of the movie Third Eye that also starred Carla Abellana, Alex Medina, Ejay Falcon, at Camille Prats.

Angel wala pang kapalit sa horror film ni Vhong

We had a short talk with Direk Joyce Bernal du­ring the Star Awards for Movies and she confirmed na nag-resume shooting na sila for the horror-suspense flick, tentatively titled The Possessed, na kinaila­ngang ‘‘ipahinga’’ for a while dahil nga sa nangyari kay Vhong Navarro, who plays the lead role.

In our talk, she did not confirm kung sino ang replacement ni Angel Locsin, originally cast as Vhong’s leading lady who had to be pulled out from the cast, kumbaga, dahil sa kanyang series na The Legal Wife where she plays the title role.

Ganun man, we know na ang original choice na dapat pumalit kay Angel, si Ellen Adarna, ay “out’’ na. For reasons we’d rather not articulate.

Kinunsidera rin daw si Jessy Mendiola. But busy siya with a movie with John Lloyd Cruz.

Cristine Reyes is being considered din daw as well. Sana nga, tanggapin niya ang offer. Although ang alam namin, pagkatapos ng My Trophy Wife, may gagawin siyang movie with Sam Milby for Viva Films.

Matatapos this week ang series niyang Honesto, where five-year-old actor Raikko Mateo plays the title role.

Raikko apektado sa pagkakawalay kay Paulo

Affected pala ang batang si Raikko Mateo sa pagtatapos ng Honesto. Kahit pa, right after the end of the series, itatampok naman siya sa fantasy series na Wansapantaym.

Mami-miss din daw kasi niya ang mga kasamahan niya sa Honesto, lalo na si Janice de Belen, who plays his mom. Sobrang naging close rin siya kina Eddie Garcia at Joseph Marco, na gumanap naman na kanyang adopted lolo at uncle.

Pero higit daw sa lahat, si Paulo Avelino, whom he just discovered na kanya palang ‘‘ama.’’

Come to think of it, Paulo’s son Aki by LJ Reyes, with whom kaput na raw siya, is a year younger lang than Raikko.
