Piolo took time to meet the press even if he is so busy as he is currently undergoing training for horseback riding for a movie with Angel Locsin. This is for they will soon begin shooting in Bukidnon and in Australia for their movie. Still, the heartthrob managed to answer all the issues hounding him.

He denied the rumors that he backed out of the July 25 Bench Blackout fashion show because of a billing dispute. The press asked the actor about the issue during the launch of his new commercial for Max?s Restaurant. “I didn?t back out. I didn?t really want to join. Beforehand I [had] told Mr. Ben Chan already that it?s my personal conviction not to join.

Siguro kasi Bench endorser ako kaya people expected me to be there. But for the record hindi po talaga ako kasama sa show bago pa man naplano ?yun. I have nothing against anyone or what the show is all about,” Piolo clarified. Rumors claimed that Piolo refused to walk the ramp as he didn?t want to involve himself in the controversy on who should become the final act: him, Richard Gutierrez, or Dingdong Dantes. Richard eventually did the finale.

Although he said he has no idea of how the show was planned, the star of Lobo clarified that billing was never an issue for him as he respects the producer?s call on how they would want to run their show. The actor-singer-model added that he also had a commercial shoot on the day of the said fashion show hence it was impossible for him to make an appearance.

The most famous by far of all the loveteams in GMA takes the covers of magazines by storm this month of July. The Dyesebel team-up who continue to flame in the television ratings had also success in endorsing together in television commercials. What’s next for these two?

Marian Rivera is on the cover of Metro magazine in its July issue. Her better half on screen, Dingdong Dantes is on the July cover of People Asia. Good thing their individual careers are still booming unlike other loveteams who can’t work separately.

Besides, their relationship is up until now strictly professional. Everyone is aware that Dingdong has been going steady with ZsaZsa Padilla’s daughter, Karylle. Marian on the other has not opened up any relationship so far.

Her career has not yet undergone its full blast mode, but KC Concepcion is already a star in her own right. Some say this was out of being the fruit of showbiz royalties Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion. But her own mom says otherwise.

KC is currently endorsing big products and companies and many are awaiting her first movie already. The flick in which he will be paired to rumored suitor Richard Gutierrez is one of the hot items to watch out for this year. At 23, she is already a millionaire.

And this had nothing to do with what she may inherit from her parents but simply her savings since she started working in front of the cameras. Sharon admitted that KC has left her behind in terms of earnings when they were about the same age. KC is almost near to beating her Megastar mother in having commercial endorsements.

Sharon clarifies that KC deserves what ever she is reaping right now and it’s not because of her royalty status. KC went to theater, had singing and dancing lessons before she entered showbiz. She even finished her studies first in obedience to her mother.

The fact that she is well-bred and educated enough is already a big advantage to most of the famous young actresses of today. Her talent has been recognized already so KC is really worthy of the fame and glamor she is getting right now.
