Social media went abuzz over an alleged recent sighting of Richard Gutierrez (newly separated from Sarah Lahbati) and Barbie Imperial.

The two were said to have attended the birthday of Vandolph's wife, Jenny Quizon, last 6 January. Photos and videos of them together circulated on social media, implying they have something more than friendship. Gutierrez was even reported to have been quite the gentleman, escorting Imperial when she went to the john.

So how did netizens react to the sighting? Well, one said, "There's nothing wrong seeing each other as long as they are happy with their relationship…let's support them."

Another fan echoed the sentiment: "Why not? Wala naman sila ni Sarah eh. Official hiwalay na sila. Sa papel lang sila mag asawa pero sa puso at kaluluwa wala na(He's no longer with Sarah. They're officially separated. They're a couple only in paper, but not in their heart and soul)."

One did warn Imperial: "May asawa pa rin yan, Barbie. Hiwalay lang pero kasal pa rin. Masisira ka lang" (He's still married, Barbie. Separated but still married. You will just be ruined).

So what's the latest on the Gutierrez-Lahbati uncoupling? Lahbati has unfollowed the Gutierrezes on Instagram — from Richard to Ruffa to Annabelle to Raymond.

Will tongues start wagging again? You bet.

Porn star lover?

David Licauco drew laughter when he mentioned the name of Maria Ozawa in a GMA game show.

Host Dingdong Dantes asked Licauco: "Fill in the blank. Maria blank."

Licauco's reply was "Ozawa" — something that was way unexpected from the Pambansang Ginoo.

The answer elicited laughter from his male co-players who, of course, know of the Japanese ex-porn star.

Licauco's answer baffled his leading lady Barbie Forteza, who had to to ask him in a short video on X (formerly Twitter) who Maria Ozawa is.

Later, Licauco and Ozawa's names trended on X.

Netizens on X were more than amused to know that Licauco was aware of the Japanese ex-porn star's existence.

"Ano kaya role ni Maria Ozawa ang favorite ni David? Teacher? Newscaster? Nurse? Hahaha. Charot! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" wrote one guy.

Deadma Diego Loyzaga

Diego Loyzaga is not about to dignify his (ex?) partner Alexis Suapengco's controversial claim that the actor left her and their daughter for another woman.

Out of the blue and out of exasperation perhaps, Suapengco surfaced on social media to vent her ire, claiming that she and her daughter were booted out of Loyzaga's house so that he could bring home his alleged latest inamorata, a certain Cecile Mendoza.

In response, Loyzaga also took to social media to say: "Petty for me to come on social media for this. Not denying anything aside from one thing" – and that was Suapengco's claim that "he won't provide for my daughter daw."

"Not denying anything else.  But my baby will be taken care of definitely." said Loyzaga.
