Shaina Magdayao and John Lloyd Cruz 's interview with Boy Abunda was aired on The Buzz yesterday. The two have been in the news as of late due to rumors that they've already separated, plus that text message issue between Shaina and John Lloyd's ex-girlfriend, Ruffa Gutierrez . But before the text incident happened, it can be recalled that there was another cellphone incident earlier this year where Shaina allegedly called Ruffa in the wee hours of the night regarding John Lloyd. The young actress admitted the incident saying she called Ruffa because " ... gusto kong paratingin sa kanya na kaya ako tumatawag sa 'yo kasi nabasa ko 'yong text mo [to John Lloyd] so sana 'wag ka nang mag-text ulit. " After that incident, Ruffa allegedly said she was going to stay away and not bother Shaina and John Lloyd anymore.

Some friends and I attended MTV Exit free concert last Saturday, reason why I wasn't able to watch the PBB launch. It was all worth it, though, even if we arrived a little late. Ramon Bautista , Tado and MTV Asia VJ Holly hosted the event which was all about raising awareness to increase prevention of human trafficking and exploitation. Pupil performed and Ely Buendia was such a compelling singer. He still never fails to give me goose bumps with his singing. Parokya ni Edgar made the Concert Grounds so alive with their popular hits like Pizza Pie and Buloy . Sad to see Vinci Montaner a little out of shape but he made the mosh pit wild when he went down and sang among the crowd. But what really made the free concert exciting was the special appearance of Jason Mraz who's an anti-human trafficking advocate. He was in the country for his concert October 30th and decided to drop by at the MTV Exit event. He didn't sing, though, except for a few acapella line

The Nora Aunor -starrer, Hototay , has been pulled out from the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) happening this December 2011. Regal matriarch Lily Monteverde made the announcement yesterday at the Imperial Palace Suites. She said they will not be able to make it in time for the deadline due to Ate Guy's taping schedules and health issues. She is still taping for the TV5 mini-series Sa Ngalan ng Ina where she is the lead. Then last October 4, the superstar was rushed to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a case of bronchitis. They wouldn't be able to pressure the actress with tight shooting schedules because that would mean sacrificing her health. Regal Entertainment now aims to start Hototay production in 2012. But would that mean Nora Aunor will have some idle time in her hands after taping for Sa Ngalan ng Ina is over? German Moreno , the superstar's business manager, said she might go back to the US and return in time for the Hototay shooting
