Xian Lim didn’t hesitate to answer a question from Dingdong Dantes during his appearance on Family Feud.

The actor became one of the players of Family Feud to promote his upcoming Teleserye on GMA Network.

Dingdong, who’s the host of the show, asked all the players what they would do if they crossed paths with their ex-partners.

Xian didn’t hesitate to answer, saying he would tell his ex-girlfriend something inspirational.

“Pag nakasalubong mo ang ex mo, you [say] should na… ‘I hope you do find happiness, that it is you are looking for. Ganun lang dapat masaya, di ba? Dapat masaya kayo para sa isat’ isa,'” he said.

It can be recalled that Xian recently broke up with Kapamilya actress Kim Chiu, which ended their nearly 12-year relationship.

Several months after their breakup, Xian was linked to film producer Iris Lee and eventually admitted their relationship.

“Yes, I’m seeing Iris,” Lim said. “Just to clear everything, to clear all the speculations. We are seeing each other and we are very happy, more happier compared to my past relationships. Nothing wrong,” he said.

Xian, who’s also working as a director, worked with Iris on several projects even before breaking up with Kim.

In an interview with MJ Marfori, Sharon, who the status of her family amid her decision to file charges against Cristy Fermin, said that she was affected by the criticisms being thrown against her by the veteran columnist, especially since she had problems with KC.

“Ano man din ang problema ng panganay ko, because at this point we are estranged I’m very very hurt, pero there are things na ‘tama na ‘yon’ there are things na amin nalang,” she said.

“Pero kahit balik-baliktarin mo ‘yung mundo, mahal mo ‘yong anak mo eh so tiis tiis nalang bilang nanay. Pero dadating din sa point na ayokong isiksik ang sarili ko,” she added.

Before Sharon filed charges against Cristy, the veteran columnist claimed that KC and her mother were not on good terms.

“Meron po kaming source na nagkwento na meron daw pong napakahalagang kagamitan si Sharon Cuneta na ipinagkatiwala kay KC Concepcion na bigla na lamang naglaho. Noong hinahanap na ni Sharon, hindi maibigay ni KC,” Cristy said.

“Ang dahilan hindi ko alam kung sadya o nagipit lang… naisanla ni KC nang walang pahintulot sa Megastar,” she added.

According to Cristy, KC returned the said item, but it took a long time before it happened.

Former actress Giselle Töngi-Walters, popularly known as G. Toengi, suggested that Cristy Fermin consider retiring as she was already facing multiple charges from different personalities.

In her program, Cristy Ferminute, Cristy discussed the work of Giselle as a ‘waitress’ in America.

“Inilabas niya po ang kanyang diploma dahil tapos na po siya UCLA (University of California) at hindi lang po siya graduate, with honors pa,” said Cristy.

“Nagalit ang mga kababayan natin ang yabang yabang ipamahagi sa buong mundo na graduate ka sa University of California tapos with honors ka pa, pero bakit ka sawsaw ng sawsaw, pwede bang pakialaman mo nalang at asikasuhin ang pagiging waitress mo diyan sa America?” she added.

She also called Giselle a “hitad” or flirty, claiming that she received the information from the former actress’ ex-manager.

As of writing, Cristy has yet to give a response to Giselle.

According to him, he practiced intermittent fasting and the keto diet.

His wife, Coleen Garcia also published a letter to address the concerns from her husband’s fans, saying that their looks would not define their current health status.

Comedian Vice Ganda went viral on social media after he made a hint about filing charges against an individual.

“Itong mga madlang people ang daming ipinapagawa sakin. Gumawang Asoka Challenge, Piliin ang Pilipinas Challenge. Magdemanda na rin.. Dami gusto ipagawa sakin,” he said.

“Ano ba gusto n’yo pagbigyan ko? Gumawa o magdemanda?” he added.

He made the said remarks amid the charges filed by several celebrities against veteran columnist Cristy Fermin.

It can be recalled that Cristy often criticized Vice and made several claims that had already reached the comedian’s camp.

Cristy called out Vice’s attitude and even claimed that he had bad breath in the past.

“‘Yun na siya, innate na ‘yon, ipinanganak siya kakambal na ng kanyang inunan ‘yung kayabangan,” said Cristy. “Yung kayabangan niya, ‘yung pagiging hambog niya na sinasabi ng ating mga kababayan, pag-aralan po nating mabuti – may dahilan ‘yon,”

“May mga kulang po na kailangan niyang punan, may mga butas na dapat niyang takpan kaya dapat ay unawain natin siya sa pagiging mayabang,” she added.

As a response, Vice took a swipe several times against Cristy and even mentioned her name in one of It’s Showtime’s episodes.

“Itong madlang people ang daming mga pinapagawa sakin, gumawa ng asoka challenge, gumawa ng ano piliin mo ang pilipinas challenge, mag demanda na rin.” yung last po pls HAHAHAHA#ViceGanda | Vice Ganda#LifeIsGoodWithShowtime pic.twitter.com/MFTbldlPIB

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin made a response to the charges filed against her by Sharon Cuneta and Kiko Pangilinan.

In her program, Cristy Ferminute, Cristy refused to make an official statement following the charges she received from the celebrity couple.

However, she believed that being charged was only part of the risks of being a “journalist.”

“Naiintindihan po natin kung saan sila nagmumula kung paanong dapat rin nilang unawain kung ano ang aming trabaho, ‘yun lamang po ‘yun. You don’t shoot the messenger,” she said.

“Basta naiintindihan natin kung saan sila nagmumula. Wala pa po akong masasabi. Wala pa kaming impormasyon na tinatanggap. Basta naiintindihan natin ito. ‘Yan ay kasama po sa ating trabaho bilang mamamahayag,” she added.

She also told her family that being charged with cyber libel was nothing to be ashamed of.

“Sabi ko nga sa mga anak ko, ‘Mahiya kayo kapag ako ay dinemanda sa pagnanakaw. ‘Yun ang dapat natin ikahiya pero ‘yung ganto cyber libel kasama po ito sa [trabaho],” she stated.

It can be recalled that Sharon said that her children were the ones affected by Cristy’s statement against her.

Aside from Sharon, Bea Alonzo, and Sarah Lahbati’s mother also filed charges against Cristy.

Television host and performer Billy Crawford addressed the speculations that his weight loss was due to his excessive vices.

In an interview with reporters, he insisted that he was clean and never became a “user” throughout his life, unlike what some netizens were hinting.

“A lot of people have been talking on my behalf, alleging that I’m an addict or whatever. But first of all, I think it’s unfair to tell someone what they are. I don’t do drugs… I have stopped drinking alcohol. I don’t smoke. I have no vices,” said Billy.

“I have an addictive personality, but the Lord is always there to save me, really. There had been temptations. But with a snap of a finger, he led me away from them. Nililihis ako sa bisyo. I’m thankful for that,” he added.

Billy admitted that he had been drinking too much six years ago, which resulted in a weight increase.

However, Billy said that his weight started to slowly go down after he started to have a healthy lifestyle.

“I’m 148 lbs. I feel healthy and I feel good. I don’t necessarily exercise tremendously, but I eat right, drink enough water. And maybe my child is just heavy! It can get tiring,” he said.

“I used to do intermittent fasting and tried keto diet. Now I’m super healthy and can’t ask for more,” he added.

Jessa Zaragoza actively responded to the netizens who questioned why she wore make-up while doing her dishes.

The issue started when she posted a video on Instagram showcasing her talent in singing while washing used plates last April 30.

Several netizens asked why she wore make-up on the video, speculating that the incident was only scripted.

However, Jessa clarified that she was recorded right after she arrived home from work.

“Galing kasi akong show niyan. Pagkababa ng kotse, diretso sa kusina para maghugas ng pinggan. Wala kaming katulong sa bahay, kaya ako lang naghuhugas ng pinggan sa bahay namin,” she said.

“Di na ako nakapagpalit ng damit at tanggal make-up galing trabaho. Gawa agad ng naiwang gawaing bahay para matapos na at gabi na ‘yan. Ok, na ba sayo itong explanation ko?! Pasensya ka na ha,” she added.

She also told her critics to take a bath if they believed that her appearance was too much to wash dishes.

“Tingin ko, kulang lang kayo sa ligo. Babad na kayo sa drum na may malamig na tubig!!! Dali! Alam ko na! Hyaan nyo next time, mag gown naman ako, with matching cleavage habang nag huhugas pinggan,” she stated.
