Shalani Soledad-Romulo clarified rumors
about her pregnancy. “I am not yet preggy,” she said, “though I wish I
were. That would be such a blessing. I just gained weight, that’s why
some people think I’m infanticipating. If and when that day comes, I
want a baby boy for our firstborn.”
Roman and Shalani are willing to wait from here till maternity.

I asked Joey why his gig is called “Stand!”
“It’s taken from the title of my album which will be out on Aug. 7,” he
explained. “I’ll be standing alone for the very first time without my
band Side A, but of course we are still very much intact. ‘Stand’ is
also the album’s carrier single. The song talks about remaining strong
amid life’s challenges. My fave cut in the album is “I’ll Be,” composed
by Diane Warren who also wrote Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a
Thing.’ It’s a privilege to record her composition.”
Side A’s frontman stands tall as he sings loud and proud.
Uge’s birthday wish
Eugene Domingo turned a year zanier last
July 23. What was Uge’s birthday gift to herself? “Gifts for myself are
always delayed,” she quipped. “I will find time to travel before the
year ends. Some of the places I want to visit for the first time are
London, Bangkok, Vietnam, Davao and Palawan. I spent my birthday
enjoying the tranquillity at The Farm at San Benito in Lipa, Batangas.”
Uge was born with many gifts which she puts to good use by appearing in movies that give Pinoy comedy a good name.
Performers’ rights
Performers Rights Society of the
Philippines (PRSP) is a collecting agency headed by Mitch Valdez. “Its
members are organizations and not individuals,” she said. “OPM
(Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit) has shepherded this movement for
years and it is now ready to address actors’ royalty issues. It’s open
to representing all who belong to the performing arts.”
All actors are invited to sign a deed of assignment to PRSP on Aug. 26, 5 p.m. at the Quezon City Sports Club.
It’s about time artists got what’s rightfully theirs after giving their fans the best that they’ve got.
