Sharon Cuneta denies being part of the show that replaces ‘The Buzz’
Kapamilya Star Patrol—Isa ang Megastar na si Sharon Cuneta sa mga artistang active sa pag-post ng kanilang status sa social media account na Facebook. Kaya naman masaya ang fans ni Shawie dahil updated sila palagi sa nangyayari sa buhay ng kanilang idolo. Alam nila kung kailan masaya at may dinaramdam ang kanilang hinahangaan. And recently, very open si Sharon sa pagsasabi tungkol sa kanyang nararamdaman physically and emotionally. Hindi nga itinatago nito na may sakit siya at noong Sunday, sa kanyang pagbati ng Mother’s Day ay naikuwento rin ni Shawie ang kanyang hindi magandang pakiramdam. Narito ang nasabing status sa kanyang FB post…
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you Mamas out there! I hope you are all okay and that you all have a beautiful day.
I have been sick on and off for three weeks now. I spent 2-3 days of my anniversary trip to Thailand in bed, sleeping and coughing and feeling very ill. Till now, I have this cough that won’t go away and a flu I’ve been fighting off but getting binat from so often. At nag-diet pa ako for days, kaya siguro lalong my resistensya went down.
The day before my Tita Helen’s birthday party last Thursday, I was in bed, sick na naman. When I left the party that evening (nada-diet pa rin noon!), I was chilling and sweating cold sweat na. By the time I arrived home, I took a warm shower and lots of meds and just conked out on my bed, sick. The next day I was bedridden na naman.
Thinking of going to the hospital na but I cringe just imagining going. Please say a prayer for me. I think I just have been so weighed down by too many concerns that even when my body wants to rest na, my brain and heart just won’t quit. So tired.
Didn’t mean to put a damper on your day. Have a great one and enjoy with your kids, mamas! Whether they love you or not, or are with you or not, have fun.
God bless you and thank you again so much for watching and loving “Your Face Sounds Familiar!”
Meanwhile, after that post about her health condition, just this morning, May 12 ay may panibagong message ulit na ibinahagi si Mega lalo na sa mga fans na nag-aalala sa kanyang kalagayan. Pero bukod sa kanyang health condition ay naglabas din ng sama ng loob si Sharon sa mga taong nananamantala sa kanyang kabutihan lalo na sa usapin ng pera. Narito ang kanyang mensahe…
Can you guys please say a prayer for me? Seriously, I believe talaga that when you are overwhelmed na by all that life has been throwing at you (at kami-kami lang sa pamilya ang may alam kasi ng kung anu-anong sakit ng ulo ang totoong pinamana sa akin ng Daddy at Mommy ko – PLUS may mga surprise pang umeextra! – you WILL get sick. Kaya siguro mawawala ang sakit, tapos babalik. I am SO tired. And nananahimik ako at nabubuhay ng maayos, tapos IBANG TAO ang cause ng mga problema and/or concerns ko! Ano ba naman yan.
Please allow me to vent again. Minsan lang naman ito. I need to let some steam out kasi nagkakasakit na ako!
There are people who, though I can’t say I blame them totally for their own concerns, think I have superpowers of some kind and can solve their and the world’s problems! I WISH I DID HAVE THOSE SUPERPOWERS! Lord knows I’ve done my share in my own little way. But may mga tao talaga na pag nakita yata ako, ang nakikita nila “Bank of the Sharon Islands” Or may nai-imagine silang nakasulat sa katawan ko na “ATM.” Or tattoo sa noo ko na “Mabait ako! Please USE and ABUSE ME kasi WALA AKONG SARILING PROBLEMA!” MARYOSEP PLEASE TAO LANG PO AKO! May show po ako now. So, may sueldo na po ako, pero napakadaaaaamiiiiiiii ko pong binabayaran and sorry po kundi ko sa inyo dinodonate agad. Pasensiya na po.
And my favorite line of all: “Wala na kasi akong maisip na iba, ikaw na lang talaga ang naisip kong lapitan.” (Teka – why naman pag masaya di ka man lang nagpaparamdam sa akin ng mga twenty years? Pero when you have a problem, typically of the financial kind, aba kay laking himala at ako lang ang naiisip mo? You’re so cute naman I want to pinch you!)
Then there are the two other kinds. One is the THIEF who you and your family and others close to you trusted for many years, tapos traydor pala at napakayaman na sa dami ng “kabutihan” na pinakita mo and/or ng mga magulang mo sa kanila. There is a special place in hell for those who enjoyed betraying people’s trust here on earth. Sabi ng iba, ang masamang damo matagal daw mawala. Sabi namin noon, baka kasi ayaw ng demonyong si satanas na ma-dethrone kaya pinapatagal niya?! Ngek.
The other kind naman is “cute.” Di nga (at least not blatantly or often) money ang habol sa iyo, but maybe something even more heartbreaking. I mean, are there still people out there who think my I.Q. is the same as my waistline? (Hahaha!) You will love them and get close to them — and then — KABOOM — you will find out that they want you to further their own ambitions. Professionally, politically, anything else “-ally.” Ouch. You know, to whom much is given, much is required. That is why I’ve been able to keep my sanity over all of my income-generating decades. Generosity is my middle name. Whether it be of my time, my resources, it has never been a big deal to me. BUT — AND THIS IS A BIIIIIIG BUT (not to be confused with my big one with the two Ts at the end) — PEOPLE MUST NEVER MAKE THE MISTAKE OF EQUATING KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY WITH STUPIDITY OR GULLIBILITY. Yes, I have a big heart. But don’t forget that God also gave me a brain. And I really don’t think it’s a bad one.
Sometimes, di ka na halos makatulog sa mga iniiyakan mo minsan sa dami ng iniisip mo na caused naman by other people – so talagang walang choice at lalabas na talaga sa physical. That’s why they say stress is a (the?) major cause for lots (if not all) of fatal or at least serious diseases. Please, if you can find a minute to include my name in your prayers, please, please pray that I get well na from this cough and trangkaso-fighting and constant binat. The stresses on my mind and emotions, I am so used to that I can handle them. But what worries me is when I am physically sick na. I am, suffice it to say, scared of being useless.
And that is what I feel like when I am not able to work or do things for those who matter to me. (If you have extra time, baka you can pray na rin for “those” people who don’t think twice about taking advantage of your kindness or abusing you. Or just causing you problems even if you’ve always done things in good faith. Pinasa-Diyos ko na sila, pero baka with a little more reinforcement, they can get na what they deserve?)
Thank you so much. So sorry for dumping this on you on a beautiful morning! But this is, after all, my FB page. And if you’re following me here, all of you must care about me somehow. Sort of like my extended family or circle of friends. (If you don’t belong to this group but are following me anyway, HELLO! Thank you for confirming that I matter enough that you have to be a lurker and monitor my every move! Hahaha!)
And lastly, nilinaw na rin ni Mega ang issue na lumabas tungkol sa lumabas na balitang siya na raw ang makakasama ng King of Talk na si Boy Abunda at Queen of All Media na si Kris Aquino sa bagong show na papalit sa programang ‘The Buzz.’ Wala raw katotohanan ang balitang ito. Bahagi ng post ni Mega…
There’s some news going around (someone from a TV crew actually asked me about it last Thursday at my Mama Helen’s birthday party, and then it came out in a major paper the other day lang) that I am going to be in a show with Kuya Boy Abunda to replace the former “The Buzz.” That would be so great — only, it isn’t true. No one has brough it up with me or my manager Sandra Chavez, and I also asked Kuya Boy about it the day the write-up came out, and no one’s talked about it with him either.
I have no idea yet what I’m doing right after “YFSF” kasi my contract with ABS-CBN so far is only for that show. I wish I was as thin as Sarah or Kim or Maja or Bea, but truth is, I’m a mom now and no longer in my twenties so the weight isn’t gonna just fall off as quickly as it used to! I’m just me. And it would be so sad if I had to apologize for being the ‘me’ that I am now, especially because of the ‘me’ I was for way too long. I will keep doing what I can, as long as I can, as far as I can take it. But no more than that. Besides, at this point, I think my loyalists love me for who I am and what I’ve achieved and given, and yes, to a certain point what I look like, but not just all that na.
So there you go. Sayang, but not true about the show with Boy Abunda. Hope this settles it. Thanks!

Lourd De Veyra is happy that he’s now being recognized
KAPATID SHOWBIZ KONEK- Isa sa kahanga-hangang multi-media personality ng Kapatid network ay si Lourd de Veyra. Araw-araw ay napapanood siya sa programang ‘Aksyon sa Umaga’, at isang weather forecster sa evening newscast na ‘Aksyon’. Mayroon din siyang digital newscast na ‘Kontrabando at radio show na ‘Chillax’ tuwing Sabado, 9 PM on Radyo5 92.3 NewsFM, and he also writes a blog.
Nakapag-published na siya ng walong libro at dalawa doon ay naging best sellers, ang “This is a Crazy Planets” 1 and 2, a collection of his blog entries. He has also written a novel, “Super Panalo Sounds”, about a band that’s on the verge of stardom. And he has written a screenplay that he hopes to direct some day.
Graduate si Lourd ng Journalism sa UST and he started his career on TV in ABC-5’s “Topak” and as a VJ in MYX Channel. But viewers started to really notice him in the news segment “Word of the Lourd” where he does 3-minute infotainment videos combining news and witty commentary. It became very popular with the younger crowd of progressive viewers aged 18 to 25, who comprise his cult followers. “Our producer uploaded it on Facebook and we notice na mas dumami pa ang hits sa social media,” he says.
Other shows he has done since then are “Lupet”, “Tayuan Mo at Panindigan”, “Wasak”, “Hindi Pa Tapos ang Laban”, “History with Lourd: Tsismis Noon, Kasaysayan Ngayon” and “Good Morning Club”.He also became an endorser with his own TV ads. As of now, he is endorsing five products including coffee, liquor, casino and chicharon.
“Never kong pinangarap mapanood ako sa TV. Kusang ibinigay ito sa akin at ine-enjoy ko lang habang may nanonood sa’kin.”
Sa tingin ba niya ay sikat at kilala na siya ngayon? “Every now and then, yes.
May nagtatanong, anong weather ngayon o kung totoo raw ba ‘yung tsismis ko kay Rizal. Meron ding nanghihingi ng chicharon,” pagbibiro pa nito.
Lourd has gained respectability as a broadcaster when he started winning awards: best male news anchor in the 13th Gawad Tanglaw Awards, best culture-based documentation host for “History with Lourd” from the National Commission for Culture and Arts, Outstanding Achievement in Broadcast Media (TV) from 8th Hildegarde Awards. Right now, he’s doing a documentary on the controversial ‘Spratlys island’ and he just came from there which are now slowly being occupied by the Chinese.
