Paolo Ballesteros is back in 'Eat Bulaga!'

Just like Wally Bayola confirmed a couple of weeks ago saying Paolo Ballesteros will be back last week of August or first week of September, the King of Makeup Transformation was indeed seen again on "Eat Bulaga!" first Monday of Sept.

Eat Bulaga - Team Barangay

Paolo stopped being seen as host of the noontime show last March and although no official statement was released regarding the issue, rumor has it that he got suspended because of his Facebook rants about how he and his entourage was treated during a recent ad summit.

During his absence, however, he was busy doing two movies. He plays the lead role in the indie film Die Beautiful and is one of the leads in Viva Films' Bakit Lahat Ng Gwapo May Boyfriend?! Both movies are directed by Jun Lana.

Maine Mendoza confirms nearing end of 'KalyeSerye'

"Eat Bulaga's" hit segment KalyeSerye will soon end, as confirmed by one of its stars, Maine Mendoza, on Ask.fm when asked about it.

Maine Mendoza and Alden Richards

"The end is near. As in ayan na tanaw na tanaw ko na!" Maine wrote in response to a fan's question regarding the fate of the noontime show's segment.

KalyeSerye started July 16, 2015 when Yaya Dub (Maine) saw Alden Richards via split screen. After two weeks of being in "Juan For All, All For One" segment with Lola Nidora, Yaya Dub smiled for the first time that day when she saw the good-looking actor-singer-TV host.

But the same fan who asked for when KalyeSerye will end also criticized Jenny Ferre, the segment's creative head, for how the story is turning out.

Maine immediately came to Jenny's defense.

"For the record, Ms. Jenny is not the one writing the script anymore. We have several writers in EB and they are the ones in charge with Kalyeserye's script so please stop putting all the blame on her," she wrote.

Meanwhile, Maine and Alden are now officially a couple in KalyeSerye. During AlDub's 59th weeksary on Thursday, September 1, Maine already admitted that she also loves Alden.

Paolo Ballesteros to return to 'Eat Bulaga!' soon

Fans of Paolo Ballesteros will surely be glad to know that the TV host-actor will soon be back on "Eat Bulaga!" It has been confirmed by Wally Bayola, one of the show's co-hosts, although he added that only the management would know the exact date of the comeback.

Paolo Ballesteros and Wally Bayola

Before Paolo's comeback, however, he already got reunited with Wally and Jose Manalo (the three are collectively known as JoWaPao) at the shoot of a movie project.

Wally related the reunion in an interview with pep.ph.

"Nagkita-kita kaming tatlo, kasi nag-start na kami doon sa project na gagawin namin," he said. "Nagkita-kita kami, yakap-yakap kami."

The King of Makeup Transformation was last seen on "Eat Bulaga!" last March. No reason was officially released as to why he suddenly stopped appearing on the 37-year-old show, but it was said that his rants on Facebook regarding how he and his entourage were treated during the most recent Ad Summit caused his suspension.

Regarding Wally's advice to Paolo, he said, "Ang talagang advice lang namin sa isa't isa, pray lang 'yan. Ang tawag niya sa 'kin, 'Girl, pray lang.'"

He said that to pray was also Paolo's advice to him when he got suspended from the show due to a video scandal.

And to give you an idea on when Lola Tidora (Paolo's KalyeSerye character) will be seen again on the show, Wally said, "September or last week of August, mga ganun."

Meanwhile, Paolo is currently doing two movies - "Bakit Lahat ng Guwapo, May Boyfriend?" and "Die Beautiful."
