Kris Aquino avoids Mayor Junjun Binay, gets closer with Diether Ocampo

Kris Aquino puts special friendship with Makati City Mayor Junjun Binay "on hold" after the latter was quoted saying things which didn't sound good to the Queen of All Media.

In a Philippine Star article last Sunday (July 17) headlined "To wed or not to wed: Hayden & Vicki, Junjun & Kris", Mayor Junjun revealed that he and Kris Aquino once dated, and that was during Justin Bieber's concert in the country just last May. “Yes, we are good friends. We saw the Justin Bieber concert together, and by gosh, when you’re with Kris, everybody wants to have a picture with her.”

And when asked if another marriage is possible for Junjun, who was widowed in August 2009, here's what he said: “Why do people marry? Because of lack of knowledge...Why do people separate? Because of lack of experience...Why do people remarry? Because of loss of memory.”

Kris expressed in a recent TV interview that she was disappointed to hear Mayor Junjun's statement, especially his answer on "why do people separate" which Kris thought was a "patama" to her.

Mayor Junjun, who just turned 34 last July 12, already apologized to Kris, but the 40-year-old Presidential Sister has decided to avoid Mayor Junjun Binay to avoid further intrigues.

Is Kris just getting extra sensitive?

While she decides to avoid Mayor Junjun, Kris is now getting closer to another special friend, hunk actor Diether Ocampo whom she calls as "D".

On Twitter yesterday, Kris posted a birthday greeting to Diether whom she considers as TRUE friend (not like Mayor Junjun?) and she's hoping to establish a lifelong friendship with him.

Diether Ocampo turned 35 yesterday, July 19, and he has been linked to Kris Aquino since they started filming the MMFF 2010 entry "Dalaw".

Kris reportedly gave Diether a very expensive watch worth 5-million pesos as birthday gift, but the actor has denied that during his birthday presscon.

Diether Ocampo shows son Dream to public

Diether Ocampo finally exposed his 7-year-old son Dream to the public.

It's no secret that Diether Ocampo has a son. News about it already broke out during the time he was in a relationship with Kristine Hermosa.

But it marks the first time that Diether introduced him to the public for everyone to see.

Diether proudly introduced Dream to the press during the latter's 7th birthday celebration at the Manila Ocean Park.

The identity of Dream's mother is unknown.

In his TV Patrol interview last night, Diether will allow Dream to enter showbiz only if he already finished his studies.

Dream is a goodlooking boy, just like his Dad.

Screencaps were from last's night TV Patrol report

StarStudio Mag's Sexiest Stars 2011 (Photos)

StarStudio Magazine bared its Sexiest Stars for 2011. And definitely, they've really picked the sexiest celebrities around.

Twelve (12) stars made it to the list. Yeah, only 12, but they're pretty worth enough for me, except that Sam Milby should have been part of it I guess. What do you think Milby Mobs?

Enchong Dee (both front and back) and Erich Gonzales are really hot in their shots. Their pics definitely best explain why they have been picked to play Luis Fernando and Maria, other than their acting skills, in the upcoming Philippine adaptation of "Maria La Del Barrio".

Check out behind-the-scenes photos:

Kapamilya stars graced Panagbenga Festival 2011 or Baguio's Flower Festival yesterday afternoon, February 26, via a mall show at SM Baguio.

The Kapamilya Caravan at the Panagbenga Festival featured "Sabel" stars Jessy Mendiola, Joseph Marco and Diether Ocampo as well as Melissa Ricks and Matt Evans, stars of the upcoming ABS-CBN soap "Nasaan Ka Elisa?"

And for today, Feb. 27, it's Kapuso stars' turn to celebrate with the
people in Baguio.

"Machete" stars Aljur Abrenica, Ryza Cenon and Bela Padilla and the cast of "Nita Negrita" Barbie Forteza, Joshua Dionisio and Lexi Fernandez will be in SM Baguio at 4 PM for the Kapuso Caravan.

SM Baguio is definitely the most crowded place there lately due to the
presence of some celebs. Last Friday, the Azkals were also at SM Baguio for their meet-and-greet with the fans, and yesterday, people
were delighted to see the team having their lunch there.

The Panagbenga Festival 2011 opened last February 1 and officially ends on March 6.

Two of its highlights are the Grand Street Parade which already
happened yesterday and the Grand Floats Parade which is happening today.

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson are still Chowking ambassadors

Kim Chiu has been retained as a Chowking endorser.

Last Tuesday, Chowking held its 2011 Chinese New Year Celebration and the endorsers present at the event were Kim Chiu and Jericho Rosales.

And how about Gerald Anderson?

Gerald is still a Chowking endorser. In fact, he just shot a new TVC for Chowking Halo-Halo, which will air this March.

***

Meanwhile, Jollibee has already launched its new endorser, Enchong Dee, specifically for its new Jollibee Float (obviously inspired from McDonald's McFloat). Have you seen his TVC already? Enchong's such a cutie there!

Here's Enchong's poster for Jollibee float:

But have you noticed? Star Magic talents are now the dominant endorsers of major fast-food chains/restaurants in the country: Kim and Gerald for Chowking, Enchong and Sam Concepcion for Jollibee, Piolo Pascual for Max's, Diether Ocampo for Pizza Hut and John Lloyd Cruz for Greenwhich.

Jessy Mendiola spotted inside the car with Diether Ocampo

Jessy Mendiola, who looks like Kristine Hermosa, was caught inside the car with Kristine's ex-husband Diether Ocampo.

And Jessy was visibly enjoying the ride with the hunk actor...

Oh well, that's just one of the scenes of Jessy Mendiola and Diether Ocampo in the ABS-CBN primetime soap "Sabel".

Diether is one of the new additions in "Sabel" and his character already showed up starting last Thursday when he bought all of Sabel's buko pie.

He plays Frederico or Eric, a philantrophist and son of a plastic surgeon (Jaclyn Jose), who's going to be a close friend of Margaret (Rita Avila), the main villain in the story.

The next episodes of Sabel will reveal what really Eric's role is in the life of Sabel.

A new love interest for her perhaps? While Jessy, 18, is like a daughter already to Diether, who's 34, the two also look good together on TV.

Unfortunately, Diether will only have a guest appearance in "Sabel". But definitely he's adding more excitement to the show.
