MANILA, Philippines — Heard that the beautiful Iza Calzado received an invitation from the country’s most eligible bachelor for a date but she, in all her wisdom and propriety, politely declined.

• When my relatives watched Anne Curtis’ record-breaking concert at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum recently, they said they have not appreciated the soothing voice of Sarah Geronimo until that night. “When we heard Sarah sing, we realized how our ears have been taking a beating.

• Some people close to controversial couple Dr. Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho, Jr. are saying that the most recent break-up of the two seems to be more serious than their usual lovers’ spats. Someone whispered to us that charges of “infidelity” do not only figure in one camp only. Both personalities are alleging that the other committed it against the other. As of press time, the reported wedding in Machu Picchu in Peru has long been quashed and will not be taking place anymore. Let’s see if the wind blows to a different direction in the next few weeks.
• Since the Valentine season is almost over, comparisons abound in showbiz circles about which show featuring which artists had the most successful box-office returns. We heard that the recent Ogie Alcasid-Regine Velasquez’s “Mr. and Mrs. A” topped both sales and production quality. It was sold out in the end, even if in the beginning the tickets were a little slow. The box-office performance is now being compared to such big local hits as “Annebisyosa” and Vice Ganda’s concerts in the same venue. It is sad to note that the other shows in the same venue didn’t do as well as “Mr. and Mrs. A” did.
• Soon, Krista Ranillo and husband Niño Lim will be welcoming their second baby. Krista is now going five months pregnant and we heard that she’s enjoying every minute of her family life. The couple’s first baby Nate will soon be two years old.
