Ethel Booba calls Twitter account @IAmEthylGabison ‘fake’

MANILA—A Twitter account long thought by the public to be authorized by Ethel Booba apparently isn’t.

On Thursday, the comedian, known recently for her witty social commentary, took to Instagram to say that the Twitter account with the handle @IAmEthylGabison is fake. 

@IAmEthylGabison, which had 1.6 million followers, could not be accessed at the time this story was posted.

On a number of occasions, Ethel Booba had referenced the aforementioned account, opened in January 2012, and even talked about how she manages it with other administrators.

When she announced giving birth in February, it was done on @IAmEthylGabison. An image of her newborn daughter was also shared there.

In 2016, Ethel Booba released a book, “#Charotism: The Wit and Wisdom of Ethel Booba,” which contains her viral tweets.

Paulo Avelino considers his girlfriend a blessing

MANILA – Paulo Avelino doesn’t always talk about his new girlfriend in his interviews. However, he opened up a little about their relationship when he appeared on “Tonight with Boy Abunda” Monday.

According to Avelino, he considers Filipino-Australian model Jodie Elizabeth Tarasek a blessing because she came into his life at “a very weird time.”

“I just found someone who could be with me during these hard times, and who is willing to support me,” he said.

Asked how Tarasek feels that a lot of people are interested in their relationship, Avelino said: “Medyo nagugulat pa rin siya pero parang nasasanay na rin. She gets a lot of hate messages as well like tweets or Instagram comments. Nasasanay na siya.”

Although Avelino is no longer getting any younger, the actor maintained he doesn’t see himself getting married anytime soon.

But could Tarasek be the one that he’d like to spend the rest of his life with? “She could be,” Avelino briefly said.

Avelino admitted his relationship with Tarasek in July. He met the model through a common friend, and he has said that likes her for her simplicity.

I still like Marco, Kisses of 'PBB' admits

After insisting that she has moved on from being heartbroken by Marco Gallo, Kisses Delavin made an admission on Wednesday's "Tonight with Boy Abunda."

Asked about whether she still has feelings for her fellow "Pinoy Big Brother" teen housemate during the talk show's "Fast Talk" segment, she said yes.

She wasn't able to elaborate further.

After Gallo was evicted from the reality show last year, Delavin had been open about her feelings for the Filipino-Italian. It even prompted the show to reunite the two so that Delavin can properly tell Gallo about her crush.

"Na-feel bad ako nung nalaman ko iyon," an apologetic Gallo told Delavin back then. "You were right in front of me at wala akong nasabi. Hindi ko napansin for two months. I feel so selfish."

"Ngayon na lumabas ako, na-realize ko kung gaano ako ka-tanga," continued Gallo, adding that he deeply values the friendship he formed with Delavin.

Delavin was named the runner-up of this season's "Pinoy Big Brother" last Sunday, losing out to Maymay Entrata.

WATCH: Jinri Park asked about indecent proposals

MANILA - Korean model and former "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate Jinri Park answered various questions in an exclusive online interview with Boy Abunda.

And one of the questions in the "Tonight with Boy Abunda" online interview published on Monday is about indecent proposals.

Park laughed when she was asked if she had "encountered an offer from a rich, old man."

"Honestly, I've never [had indecent proposals]. I'm like, is that a bad thing or a good thing? I don't know," she joked.

Park was evicted from the "PBB" house over the weekend after receiving the least number of votes among the nominated housemates.


A former FHM cover girl and gravure model, Park said she joined "PBB" to prove to her bashers that she is more than just "sexy."

A self-confessed introvert, her stint in the show was marred with criticism from her fellow housemates for being distant. She was named as the first grand finalist of this season.

Piolo regrets taking shirt off in viral video

MANILA - Kapamilya star Piolo Pascual said he regretted taking his shirt off for a Facebook Live video by television host Luis Manzano, calling the clip "too uncensored" and vowed to be more wary when it comes to his future online antics.

"Hindi ko alam na ganoon pala ang Facebook Live," Pascual said about the video, which went viral on social media mid-September.

The original clip has since been taken down, although it was re-uploaded on several Facebook pages.

"I learned my lesson. I guess I was too uncensored kasi he did it sa dressing room namin. Okay lang, charge it to experience. Iyong mga ganoon, when it gets uploaded, hindi mo na maaalis sa YouTube," he added.

In the viral video, Pascual, at one point, took his shirt off in the background while the "Minute To Win It" host talked to his followers. "Wala na naghubad na," quipped Manzano.

Some social media users called Pascual's actions "scandalous" which prompted the press to ask the actor for his reaction.

Finally! Pia confirms she is dating 'Dr. Mike'

MANILA - "I've dodged this question in a lot of interviews for you," Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach told host Boy Abunda when asked to confirm if she is dating "Sexiest Doctor Alive" Mikhail Varshavski in an episode of "Tonight with Boy Abunda" on Thursday.

The 26-year-old Wurtzbach admitted that she is being wooed by Varshavski, who she said is still getting used to the Filipino tradition of courtship.

"He's adjusting to the Filipino ways a lot because it's very different, the culture is very different. I had to explain to him how different it is in the Philippines, kung papaano ba manligaw," she said.

Wurtzbach added that Varshavski, who was featured in People magazine's 2015 "Sexiest Man Alive" issue, has been understanding about her situation and maintained that her priority remains to be her duties as the reigning Miss Universe.

"I assure you guys, masakit sa kanya pero sinabi ko talaga sa kanya na ito ang number one priority ko," explained Wurtzbach, pointing to her sash. She also said that Varshavski, whom she describes as a "true gentleman," wants to visit the country someday.

Last month, Varshasvski, a Russian-born doctor working at the Overlook Medical Center in New Jersey, revealed that he is in a "fairly new relationship" with the Filipina beauty queen.

In an interview with the Huffington Post back in January, Varshavski said that he is "actively looking for a serious relationship and surprisingly this fame has not made it simpler to find a compatible partner."
