Nadine Lustre reportedly now is putting up her own business in Siargao, where her French boyfriend, Christophe Bariou, owns a beach resort.
Isn’t she supposed to do a project with Viva Films? Paano ‘yan? She was asked.
Smiling, Nadine replied: “Parang ang layo naman ng Siargao sa Manila. It’s just a plane ride away.
“At saka, I’ve discussed this matter na with Boss Vic (del Rosario, owner of Viva Enterprise). And okay naman sa kanya.”
Nadine’s project with Viva will pair her with Diego Loyzaga under the direction of Yam Laranas.
“One thing I can assure everyone, maganda ang project,” she beamed.

Guess who has just signed up with GMA?
Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo.
Rabiya was in the Top 21 in the 2020 Miss Universe.
She graduated at the Iloilo Doctor’s College with honors in Physical Therapy.
Her biggest frustration to date is that she has yet to meet her father, who is said to be of Indian descent.
Well, we wonder if it’s true that should John Lloyd Cruz do a sitcom on GMA, his leading lady will be Rabiya.

Speaking of Rabiya, her ex-boyfriend, Neil Salvacion, auditioned for the upcoming “Pinoy Big Brother” (PBB), set to start before the year ends.
Neil, we heard, is determined to make it in showbiz, just like Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, Gerald Anderson and PBB co-host Robi Domingo, who all entered showbiz after their stint inside Kuya’s house.
Neil comes from Iloilo City, just like Rabiya. They were together for six years. They broke-up last year.

The new season of PBB will feature a new theme song, “Pinoy Tayo,” given a twist by singer-composer Rico Blanco.
Naturally, the first person to hear the newest version is Rico’s sweetheart, Maris Racal, herself a former PBB housemate.
Maris didn’t win, but she became a household name when she was paired with Yves Flores in the series “Hanggang Saan.”
As she is from Davao, she was dubbed as the “Singing Sunshine ng Davao.”
Before her romantic involvement with Rico, she was linked to international singer and actor, Iñigo Pascual.

Piolo Pascual, Iñigo’s dad, is all set for his first team-up with new Kapamilya, Love Poe.
They will be paired in the Filipino adaptation of the Korean series, “Flower of Evil.”
Piolo has just renewed his contract with ABS-CBN. He promises to be a Kapamilya forever.
Lovi was with GMA for 15 years before signing up with ABS-CBN. She admitted to leaving GMA with a heavy heart, but then, she did not disclose the reasons why.
Lovi’s last series with GMA was “Owe My Love” with Benjamin Alves, Ai Ai de las Alas and the late Mahal.
