IS BOY ABUNDA really suing John Lapus of "Showbiz Central" for libel? "Pinag-aaralan ko pa," Boy says on the set of "Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN)", his new magazine show with Kris Aquino that's rating quite well on primetime. "More than anything else, gusto ko sanang maayos yun quietly dahil ayoko ng may kaaway. I have no such record na nakikipag-away, kaya nga I'm so happy na nagkaayos kami ni Marian Rivera. Simple lang, we talked on the phone, nagkatawanan and she sent me some fruits that I really enjoyed."

Simple lang, we talked on the phone, nagkatawanan and she sent me some fruits that I really enjoyed."
Is it true he's running for public office in Samar? "No. But I really wish they'd do something for our roads there. From the airport, it takes us about four hours to get our place because of the lakes and craters on the road."
Since he and Kris are already on "The Buzz", aren't they afraid of being overexposed with a daily program that's also about showbiz? "Hindi naman siguro. Kasi ang tao, hindi naman nagsasawa sa showbiz news. Araw-araw, may nangyayari sa showbiz, just like sa hard news, and the stories that happen daily ang gusto naming ipakita sa primetime viewers. And so far, we're happy with the feedback. Scoop yung revelation ni Nina that Nyoy Volante owes her P1.4 million na umabot na sa korte. Kris has a revealing interview with Willie Revillame about the women in his life and I have a length interview also with BB Gandanghari na lalabas this coming week. Dito, puro taped ang interviews namin. Sa 'The Buzz' naman, mostly live and we offer opinions and analysis there."
The night we visited them, Kris has an exclusive interview with Dr. Vicki Belo. It'll be recalled they had a rift after the James Yap-Hope Centeno affair but now, it's Kris herself who went to Dr. Belo's home in Dasmarinas Village to patch things up and interview her. How did it go? "It went well," says Kris. "But she made me wait for 30 minutes. I got there at 3 PM, she came down at 3:30 PM na."
The interview was shown in three installments and will end tonight, Monday. Dr. Vicki made a lot of revelations. She said Dr. Hayden Kho took 300 mg. of Valium after she broke up with him and it's a miracle that he's still alive. It took five days before he regained consciousness and it's still Dr. Vicki who paid his hospital bills. Another former lover, Joey, has filed 11 cases against her because of the businesses she put up when they were still together, like Belo Medical and Flawless. "Pero naloka ako," says Kris, "kasi the guy has also filed a claim for the house of Vicki's home in Dasma. Inamin din ni Vicki sa'kin na she lost one half of all her investments in three banks and she even named all those banks."
She now has two shows on primetime: "Kapamilya Deal Or No Deal" and "SNN". She gets home at past 11 PM. "Okay lang kasi I'm really a night person. At dahil wala na kaming morning show, now I can do yoga in the morning up to 12 noon."
Ai Ai de las Alas took the slot of their morning show with Ruffa Gutierrez. Is she ready to smoke the peace pipe with Ai Ai? "Sa totoo lang, Ai and I have no problem. Sila ng husband ko ang may problema."
For sure, the fast-paced SNN will change the landscape of weekend showbiz talk shows since most of the events that happen during the week will already be shown nightly and will already be old come weekends. But GMA-7 can claim that SNN only feature Kapamilya stars. The Kapuso stars will still be shown mainly on "Startalk" and "Showbiz Central".
