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.

To the mother of Martin: If you sue Pops, your case in court will fail. How can you sue Pops who have told the truth????
My advice to you: Buy Martin a big roll of duck tape and cover his mouth with that. He is irresponsible, loud, a womanizer, and a failure.

Martin has done Pops a grave injustice. Martin, you are such a turn off. Just swallow whatever Pops will do in retaliation. Her pain will stay with her for a long,long time. 9 years, 10 years, 15 years—that time is not enough to heal all the pain you caused her. And you know what, your brain is not as big as your mouth. If you are smart enough, you try everything to appease her. But instead of doing that, you keep on hurting her. And my comment about your mistress Katrina: You deserve each other. You both are ugly as a boot.

I am a big fan of Martin but I do not like him for being a womanizer coz my husband was once a womanizer and it really hurt and I know how Pops felt 9 years ago. JUST keep the dirty laundry in the closet…..

A guy like Martin needs proper counselling. He is too weak to handle marital issues. Something in his childhood experience made him dysfunctional. Cheating to your spouse is great violation in your marriage. You can’t expect someone to forgive completely 100% especially if your behavior is still bad. A real who is regretful should respect his wife and those monkey issues or Pops got pregnant that was the reason he decided to get married he should straighten that out to Pops wihout delaying until yhe whole public knows their dirts.

For me Pops has the right to tell everyone what had happen with her marriage from Martin.Every woman has the right to voice out.Imagine how many years they been fooling Pops.I can’t imagine Martin is such a pretentious person,always had that big smile on his face and always cracking jokes to everyone.We cannot blame Pops,she’s the one who’s been fooled for how many years.It’s not easy especially if you love the person so much and that your willing to do everything just to make that person happy and only to find out that person is having an affair with a woman named KATRINA.When I saw Katrina on TV her face is like an angel wearing a mascara.Go Pops! Im so proud of you,We women have to stand out and fight for our right.
