An Instagram photo that showed Kim Chiu in a hospital got fans of the actress worried.

More so that she wasn't able to attend the mediacon for Linlang: The Teleserye Version because she got afflicted with Covid-19. Also absent in the media huddle was Chiu's leading man Paulo Avelino, who caught the same coronavirus.

With her recent photo of herself in the hospital, Chiu's fans were alarmed.

"Lumala kaya ang Covid niya? Sana okay ka na Kimmy. Pahingahin mo muna katawan mo masyado na yatang napagod. Grabe din kasi magwork si Kim mula Lunes hanggang Linggo din. May teleserye pa. Take care Kimmy (Has her Covid gone worse?  I hope you're okay Kimmy. You rest your body, maybe you were really tired. Kim works so hard from Monday to Sunday. She also has a teleserye)," one fan said.

Another fan feels the actress is "Overworked siguro tapos may Covid pa. (Overworked maybe and then she has Covid). Babagsak talaga katawan nyan. (Her body will really fall). Ang sipag nya. (She's so industrious). Hope she get some rest."

One supporter theorized what happened to the It's Showtime host.

"Did she came from the US right? Nauna lang ata siya sa akin ng ilang days. Grabe after a few days nag kasakit ako from cough, sipon promise non stop, pumasok pa ako. After 2 weeks ito ngayon lang ako gumaling. I think it's really the weather and the strain is kakaiba ngayon napansin ko lang ito sa mga nag bakasyon sa ibang bansa pag esp sa US nagkakasakit even friend ko nag kasakit din same symptoms din sa akin. Sore throat, tonsils etc. (She came before me a few days.  It's great, after a few days I got sick from cough, cold promised it's  non stop, then I  reported for work.  After two weeks I got healed. I think it's really the weather and the strain is really different. It is what I noticed from those who went on vacation abroad especially in the US. Even my firend got sick, same symptoms, sore throat, tonsils, etc.)," the fan said.

Donny Pangilinan on extras

Donny Pangilinan extols the value of extras in any showbiz project.

Quoting Jimmy Johnson, an American sports analyst and football coach, the popular young star posted this on his recent Instagram page: "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra."

Next time, don't belittle people dahil "extra lang sila," he pointed out.

Pangilinan revealed that "Haha, in our film @officialggthemovie so many top notch celebrities and established gaming practitoners jumped in to play a cameo and an "extra" role.

"Hats off to all who give that little extra that make everyone else shine!" he added.

Well, he also could be referring to Anthony Jennings who plays his sidekick in Can't Buy Me Love. Jennings' scenes with Irene Tiu, played by Maris Racal, are always trending topics on social media because they're cute and very natural.

Jennings and Racal are included in the breakout stars for 2024 for their portrayal of Snoop and Irene on Can't Buy Me Love.

Male host a bad influence on junior co-host?

This male host might find himself in a quandary.

This is because he is a bad influence to his co-hosts. Before their show starts, the male host engages in some activity, and what's worse is that he convinces a younger host to join him.

The male host is into drugs.  He's into cocaine and he is said to have influenced a younger co-host to join him in using the prohibited drug. It is said that they do it  before the show starts airing.

If the management or the network finds out about male host's shenanigans, this will cause tremendous scandal.
