Annabelle Rama is furious at GMA-7 senior vice president for entertainment Wilma Galvante for what she claims as an act of “sabotage” on the opening day of her son Richard Gutierrez’s movie with KC Concepcion, “For the First Time”, last August 27.

Galvante’s “brainless” move, Rama said, was authorizing the staging of the birthday concert “Let’s Celebrate” of Richard’s fellow GMA-7 contract artists Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera on the same night.

GMA-7’s “Showbiz Central” bared the facts. Contrary to published reports, there was no physical confrontation between former beauty queen Carlene Aguilar and sexy actress Cristine Reyes. Only a whisper comprised their interaction.

In the actual footage shown by the Sunday showbiz talk show on the encounter of the two ladies in Dennis Trillo’s life inside the dressing room of the GMA-7 game show “All Star K,” Carlene approached Cristine, who was seated and having her make up done, and whispered some words that apparently surprised the young actress, shown on the video with her eyes expressing shock. Carlene then immediately turned back and walked towards the exit of the dressing room. Before leaving, however, she made one final glance at Cristine, observing what the latter’s reaction was to her short “statement.”

“Showbiz Central” quoted a source as saying that Carlene allegedly whispered to Cristine that her former boyfriend, Dennis, did not love her and was only after “physical” satisfaction from their relationship. Dennis, according to the report, was courting Cristine.

KC CONCEPCION will soon start her show biz career with a television special on ABS-CBN. Part of her entry into show biz is, naturally, the onset of intrigues. First, the long-time rumor linking her to film-TV director Lino Cayetano. Then the controversial statement of singer Billy Crawford that she was a “good kisser.”

Amid all the intrigues, however, KC remained poised and unaffected, still beaming that affectionate smile when reporters continue to bug her about these so-called issues. About Lino, she politely gave not really a showbiz remark but a response anyone could give: it’s something personal and should remain as such, without confirming or denying the rumor.

As for Billy, she immediately said that the comments made by the international Filipino singing sensation was understandable and would not think of making them to undermine her person. With his public apology, KC did not waste any more words: “Apology accepted.”
