Kim delos Santos reveals Dingdong Dantes was cause of past 'tampuhan' with Antoinette Taus
Kim delos Santos revealed that she and Antoinette Taus had some tampuhan before during their "T.G.I.S." days because of a guy: their co-star Dingdong Dantes. The nurse and former child actress guested on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Monday where she made the revelation for the first time. During the "Fast Talk" segment, Kim named Antoinette, who she referred to as Toni, as the actress she had tampuhan with. When prodded by Tito Boy about it, she shared that it was because they both liked Dingdong, whom Antoinette eventually had a relationship with. "Parehas kaming gusto nung time na 'yun siguro kaya lagi kami nagtatalo. Siya 'yung lalaking gusto ko before, [si] Dingdong. Pinagseselosan before. Ay nasabi ko rin! First time kong banggitin 'yun," she shared. According to Kim, they managed to settle the issue since they have all matured. "Oo, tumanda na eh, we're older. Syempre bagets eh, we were teens, so selos dito, selos dun, 'yung mga ganun," she said. Kim also shared during her interview that she got the chance to talk to Dingdong and Polo Ravales earlier. "Sabi ni Polo, 'Dingdong has a new show.' Sabi ko, 'really?' Sabi niya, 'Sabihin mo sali ka' and then Dingdong was asking me if it's okay for me to come here and stuff like that and I said yeah, I can always ask for changing my work to PRN as needed, so it's one of the options that I've been thinking about and Dingdong was like, 'sigurado ka ba?' Kasi namimiss Tito Boy, [acting's] in your blood, it's like you miss it," she said. Kim is back in the Philippines after being away from showbiz for more than 20 years. During her interview with Tito Boy, she mentioned that she returned because she misses acting and wants to try it out again. She added that she would like to do drama and work with the same people she has worked with before. Kim starred as Tere Gonzaga in the '90s coming-of-age series "T.G.I.S." alongside Dingdong, Antoinette, the late Red Sternberg, Angelu De Leon, Bobby Andrews, Rica Peralejo, Dino Guevarra, and more. Directed by Mark Reyes, the show premiered on GMA Network in August 1995 and had over 200 episodes. It also had a film, "T.G.I.S.: The Movie," released in 1997. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Manny Jacinto opens up about struggles before Hollywood success
Filipino-Canadian actor Manny Jacinto, known for his role in Freaky Friday, shared that his journey in Hollywood involved many rejections before capturing audiences' hearts. Jacinto appeared on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, where he candidly discussed the challenges he faced as a person of color in the entertainment industry. 'It's a pretty tough industry, especially as a person of color, whether you're Asian or Filipino in general. There's a lot of rejection in auditions, casting choices, and projects. You just have to keep going,' he said. He credited his parents' strong work ethic for inspiring him to persevere. Jacinto plays Eric Davies, a charming chef and single dad, in Freaky Friday, starring alongside Lindsay Lohan. His previous credits include Star Wars: The Acolyte, Top Gun: Maverick, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Good Place. Despite his success, Jacinto revealed that acting wasn't his original plan. Coming from a family rooted in education, he was the first to pursue the arts, often receiving puzzled looks from relatives but gaining their support. He earned an engineering degree before fully committing to acting, taking classes and auditioning for various roles. On where he draws his determination, Jacinto said, 'Well, my mom would always say, 'Ang tigas ng ulo naman ng batang 'to' and I think it's just the stubbornness. I think it's a part of that, but it's also, again, work ethic and also the support from my parents.' He also expressed interest in working with Lea Salonga and plans to create and act in films in the Philippines. Jacinto is currently in the Philippines for the local premiere of Freaky Friday.

According to Manny, one of his goals is to actually create stories that can be filmed in the Philippines. "Yeah, I think the actual goal is I'm trying to write and create stories that could hopefully be filmed in the Philippines as well, both whether to act here or to create stories to act here," he said.

I can't say too much about it because we're still — it's still in the works, but yeah, something along those lines." He also shared that Lea Salonga is one of the Filipino actors he'd like to work with if given the chance.

Aside from Lea, the Hollywood actor also named the late Comedy King Dolphy. "I mean if he was still alive, Dolphy would have been incredible. I think, you know, he was a pretty big part of my childhood, watching those Filipino movies and I think being in the comedy space helped a lot," he said.

Manny is currently in the country for the Philippine premiere of "Freakier Friday," which is now showing in cinemas.

Klea Pineda denies Janella Salvador involvement in breakup with Katrice Kierulf
Actress Klea Pineda denied allegations that Janella Salvador was the third party in her recent breakup with content creator Katrice Kierulf. In an interview with GMA News, Pineda said she was aware of online speculation linking Salvador to the split but insisted there was no third party involved. 'Of course, of course. I'm aware sa nangyayari, but ang sinasabi ko, ako ang nagsasabi mismo sa inyo, walang third party na nangyari,' Pineda said. She explained that her closeness with Salvador developed naturally during the filming of their movie Open Endings, which also stars Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Leanne Mamonong. Pineda appealed to the public to stop spreading the issue, saying 'And the third party issue? Come on guys, tama na,' she said. Salvador's name surfaced online after social media users noticed Katrice Kierulf liking TikTok comments accusing Pineda of cheating. One user commented, 'Follow na kita kase wala na 'yung cheater,' which Kierulf liked. She also liked another comment asking, 'Si Janella S. po ba?' and a follow-up saying, 'Once you like it, Katkat, then confirm na si JS nga 'yung other party.' Pineda previously denied the existence of a third party in her interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

Former NASCAR Driver Rips Chase Elliott's Cup Series Lead, Calls it ‘Mediocre'
Chase Elliott may be leading the NASCAR Cup Series standings but not everyone is impressed. NASCAR analyst and former driver Kyle Petty has publicly questioned Elliott's rise to the top. He called it 'mediocre consistency' not standout performance. Elliott who has 12 top 10s in 21 races this season quietly moved to the top of the standings after last Sunday's race at Dover. He spun twice while leading but still finished 6th. The Hendricks Motorsports driver has been top 20 in every race this season and that's kept him in the conversation even without frequent trips to victory lane. But for Kyle Petty that's not enough. Speaking on PRN's Fast Talk Petty said 'He's been incredibly consistent. Mostly mediocre consistent, which has led him to lead the championship. He's just there, he's vanilla… He's not done anything special to lead the points.' Also Read:: 'They Don't Have Men Anymore': Former NASCAR Champion Criticizes Modern Era Petty Want More Than Consistency Kyle Petty went on to compare Chase Elliott to more aggressive drivers. 'When you look at Denny with four wins, when you look at at Shane with three wins, when you look at these other guys who have led races and gone out in a blaze of glory and all this stuff. Chase is just that guy. It's the tortoise and the hare. It's the tortoise and the hare.' He later said 'Top 20 is not a stat, dude… Top 10, top 5, wins. That's what we go after.' Petty said Chase Elliott's consistency has been enough to keep him near the front but it's not the same as drivers who dominate races. Even Kyle Larson said he was surprised to see Elliott second in the standings after his Atlanta win earlier this month. Elliott has since passed teammate William Byron who led the series most of the year and now leads by 16 points. Next up for Chase Elliott is the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway a track where he's never had a top 5. While Larson won there in 2024 Elliott has yet to make an impact at the crown jewel event. With the regular season winding down the race may be the opportunity for the points leader to silence his critics with a big result.
