POPS FERNANDEZ’S lengthy interview with YES! Magazine indeed became the talk of the show biz world, considering the very detailed revelations she made on her separation from former husband Martin Nievera. While supporters had praised Pops’ candor, her interview naturally enraged Martin’s family, particularly his mom, Conchita Razon.
According to reports, Chonchita was discussing with her lawyers possible legal action against Pops, YES! and the magazine’s editorial staff over the article. Though Martin insisted that the best reaction was no reaction, Conchita was clearly upset over Pops’ move, which came over a decade since their separation. A clear indication of how the article had affected Martin was a series of show biz tabloid columns claiming “sirang-sira na si Martin Nievera” and that his fans had dumped him over the revelations.
YES! was unfazed by the threat. It insisted the article was not libelous and treated the subjects fairly, even alloting space for Martin’s own comments though not in reaction to the Pops interview in the same October 2007 issue. It even offered Martin his own point-by-point interview to react to Pops’ charges.
Maybe Martin himself will discourage his mom to push through with the legal action. The balladeer would definitely want the brouhaha to stop so that he could live his life in peace and move on, not engage in yet another tussle–this time in a court of law.
Ditto for Robin and Ram, who had suffered so much in the crossfire.

Television heartthrob Dennis Trillo was said to have been preparing a statement finally admitting that he is the father of rumored girlfriend and beauty queen Carlene Aguilar’s newborn child. According to people close to Dennis, he actually wanted to admit this when Carlene announced she had given birth in the United States. But Dennis, they say, was merely giving in to the wishes of Carlene, who wants the identity of the father kept so that she would deliver and take care of the child without fanfare. In fact she told GMA-7 that the father of her child was a “Chinese businessman” to veer attention away from Dennis.
Now Dennis wants to take this paternal responsibility, despite his matinee idol image. If he decides to admit fatherhood, will this affect his career? Maybe not. A lot of the top leading men had taken this route but never lost their luster and still took their careers to even greater heights. It’s how Dennis should handle the situation that matters.

Camille Prats is reportedly set to walk down the aisle with boyfriend Anthony Linsangan in the United States this December. I’m sure this will be a grand event that people would most want to witness. I mean, we’ve seen this child grow up from being a cute child in “Ang TV” and “Oki Doki Doc” to once gracing the cover of a men’s magazine. Now that another milestone would come her way, I’m sure it will be a treasured show biz moment. Oh yes, “Princess Sarah” getting married and giving birth is definitely one for the books.

Martin needs psychiatric assessment. He appears to have emotional disorder. He might be attention deficit . The guy like this will have difficulty in dealing any relationships. Katrina is a martryr kind of woman but how long.? Martin is a good performer but ver irresponsible and immature person. I saw his concert in Vegas and it was less than 20 people watching. He was good but I think it is better for him to be in Phillipines than Vegas.I hope that Martin and Pops had marital counselling before they seperated so Martin can identify his mental illness.He is weak to deal with issues and expect people to understand him.

if martin’s mom is doing this to show her concern for her son she should have done this caring thing 9 yrs ago. if only she did her homework well (giving good advice to her son and reminding him the consequences of his actions) they would not be where they are at right now. there is always a price for infidelity you know, they have to accept that.

To Manol,
You are such a manol with your comment, It wasn’t just a showbiz thingy, it was a confession , all those pent up emotions that she had hidden for so many years, she’s in the brink of exploding which she did. Now, the true winner is Pops. She got her 2 sons, has been supporting them. The father an absentee, irresponsible and a womanizer. So, you did moved on Martin, but, you’re playing for all those mistakes, what goes around comes around
