Rumors of late say that Alden Richards has found his inamorata.

Mute conversations say that Richards’ girlfriend is a non-showbiz businesswoman   and pastry chef who usually accompanies him on jogging sessions.

Later, the woman was identified as Mich Oliva, Richards’ jogging mate.  If rumors are to be believed, they always wear twinning rubber shoes whenever they go jogging.

But here’s the rub. Oliva is just Richards’ friend. Netizens were quick to deny any romantic involvement between the two.

Oliva, as claimed by those who know her really well, is the girlfriend of a guy named Prince Benmar Van Eldik.

Richards, Oliva and Eldik are close friends who passionately enjoy morning runs with friends.

Kim Chiu marks birthday with desert pictorial

It’s Showtime host Kim Chiu just turned 35 and to celebrate the occasion, she posted photos on instagram which captured her in a Dubai desert.

Clad in a long purple dress, Chiu said she didn’t plan to have any grand celebration for her 35th birthday  as all she wanted was to be by herself.

But her sister Kam had prepared a surprise for her and all that she needed to do is to show up for the pictorial.

 “I honestly didn’t have any plans/shoot for my birthday – my only plan was to chill and do absolutely nothing at home.  But plot twist, here I am, in the middle of the desert. All thanks to my ate @kamchou who planned everything and said, “Kailangan may picture, it’s your birthday” non stop.  She told me, “Ako na bahala, stay put ka lang  dyan. Gising ka ng maaga may susundo sayo. (I’ll take care of it. You just stay put. Wake up early and someone will fetch you),” Chiu wrote in her caption.

“So, on our last day in #Dubai, we woke up at 3 a.m. for glam and left at 4 a.m. just to catch the sunrise before flying back to PH that same day,” she said.

“Looking at these photos now, all I can say is—O TO THE M TO THE G!” she said. 

“Buti na lang talaga I have a pushy ate who can literally move mountains,” she added.

Last month, Chiu  and his My Love Will Make You Disappear leading man Paulo Avelino made a surprise appearance at the Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.

Well adjusted

Baron Geisler who plays a sniper-agent Miguel Tecson in Incognito has already adjusted in the company of his co-stars Anthony Jennings, Daniel Padilla, Richard Gutierrez, Kaila Estrada, Maris Racal, and Ian Veneracion.

“We’ve been filming already for six months so blended na yung grupo namin and nakabisado ko na rin si Miguel (so the group is already blended and I’m very familiar with Miguel). So what I do lang is, every time na may bagong week na (there’s a new)  script, I just automatically transform into Miguel kasi it’s very easy because yung mga suot ni Miguel very quirky, naka-salamin, plus of course, yung story. I’m very, very grateful to my co-stars, the cast, our directors, for guiding me and for keeping me grounded also kaya nakakatuwa na part ako dito sobra (that’s why I’m happy really),” he said during the show’s mid-season mediacon recently.

“I’m very grateful to be part of this show. I am Grateful to Star Creatives, of ABS-CBN, and of course sa mga writers namin. Maraming salamat din sa mga viewers na nakakapit sa bawat character namin dito at sinusuportahan kami,” he said. (I’m grateful to Star Creatives, on ABS-CBN, and of course to our writers. Thank you to the viewers who are hooked in every character and who support us).

“Gaya ng sinasabi ng lahat, parang gusto ng mga tao na magkaroon ng (As what all said, it’s like people want to have)  book 2 or season 2 so hopefully matuloy for all the fans. Let’s hope and pray na marami tayong journey na makasama kayong lahat. We love you. Thank you,” he added.
