We heard it’s just a matter of time before the two finally tie the knot.
JULIA MONTES
It’s just a matter of time, we heard, before Coco Martin and Julia Montes get married.
And not only because they are in love but because they already are parents to a baby girl.
“Kaya nga, if you notice,” said a kibitzer, “everytime Julia is asked if she will marry Coco, her quick reply is anytime, anywhere.”
The couple were together when they made a quick trip to Boracay Island. That they are in love need actually be asked.
So, why have they remained unmarried?
“Itanong mo kay Coco,” the kibitzer replied. “Kung sabagay, Julia apparently is willing to wait for Coco’s decision. Sure naman siya sa feeling sa kanya ni Coco.”
Meanwhile how true is the report that Coco has changed his mind about venturing into politics next year?
To be fair to the actor, he has tons of supporters.
May ilan din who offer him monetary help,” said the same kibitzer.

It’s James Reid’s decision to focus on his musical career, as he now has his own recording firm, Careless Music Manila.
“Yes, ayaw na muna niyang mag-artista,” said someone close to him. “He wants to dabble in singing and songwriting.
“And guess what else he has decided to sacrifice? Love,” his friend added.
“Kaya daw kahit good friend pa rin sila ng kanyang ex na si Nadine (Lustre), hanggang doon na lang ang relasyon nila. Na okay rin lang kay Nadine.”
James just released his latest single, “Mellow,” in June.

It’s unlikely that the fans of the tandem of Cassy Legaspi and Joaquin Domagoso, who were both awesome in their first series together, “First Yaya,” will realize their dream for their idol.
As it is, we heard that Joaquin is about to start work on a new soap with Andi —Andrea Abaya —who was a runner-up in the recent “Pinoy Big Brother: Connect.”
Andi is a cheerleader, model and blogger.
Like Joaquin, she is 19.
Joaquin or JD is, of course, the son of former actor and now Manila Mayor Isko Moreno.
Mayor Isko was a protégé of the late German Moreno.
“But my dad never encouraged me to be an actor,” JD said. “Basta, at first, I just wanted to have fun sa pag-a-artista. Luckily, when I told my father about it, he advised me to do it. But one thing he made me promise is hindi ako titigil sa pag-a-aral.”
JD is currently enrolled at the Southville International School, where he is taking up Entrepreneurship.

Cassy sincerely said she is happy for JD. She even wished him luck.
She said she is in no hurry to have a new show, as she heard that GMA is preparing one for her entire family.
She and twin brother, Mavy, also promised their parents, actors Zoren Legaspi and Carmina Villaroel, that they will finish their studies, no matter what.

Tom Rodriguez is both excited and nervous about his new soap, “The World Between Us,” which premiered this week on GMA.
Tom plays the main antagonist in the series.
“Aapi-apihin ko at sasaktan si Alden Richards,” he related, “Well, I already asked Alden to inform his followers at baka nga, tulad ng bilin sa akin ni Carla (Abellana, his fiancée. They are getting married in October) sugurin na lang ako ng mga ito.”
He will, likewise, have a confrontation scene with Jasmine, who plays his younger sister. He might even hurt her physically, as she is supposedly in love with Alden.
“Personally, instead of loathing my character (in the soap), I actually love it,” revealed Tom.
Aside from Tom, Alden and Jasmine, also starring in “The World Between Us,” are veteran actresses Dina Bonnevie and Jaclyn Jose.

Guess who spent for Ara Mina’s wedding gown?
Her sisters, including actress Cristine Reyes.
Cristine also helped design the gown, a creation of noted couturier Leo Almodal.
“Bilin daw ni Cristine kay Leo to make Ara look like a queen on her wedding day,” an observer said. “Natupad naman.
“Bale ba, obvious na obvious ang 23-inch waistline ni Ara.”
The groom also looked dashing in his suit. Dave Alamrines is the president and CEO of the Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC), with the rank of undersecretary. He was formerly a provincial board member of Laguna.
Ara, on the other hand, is in the cast of the top action series, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” and is also a baker and an entrepreneur.
Ara, 42, has a six-year-old daughter, Amanda Gabrielle, with politician Patrick Meneses, who was there at the wedding of Ara and Dave in Baguio last June 30.
