Claudine Barretto to Raymart's lawyer "In person and on tv, you don't look good at all"

The controversial lawyer to the most controversial local stars Atty. Ferdie Topacio and equally controversial actress Claudine Barretto took the hotseat of TV5's Face The People Friday morning July 25.

The two personalities who are still facing court battles against Barretto's husband Raymart Santiago answered questions regarding several issues including rumors that Claudine and Atty. Topacio are having romantic relationship, Dra. Vicky Belo's involvement with Raymart in 2007, and Atty. Topacio as Atty. Ruth Castelo (Raymart's lawyer) object of desire? Err?

Post by Pinoy Showbiz Daily.

Barretto also fired up tirades against Castelo and to quote...

"Hindi ka naman mukhang artista, Ruth. Hindi ka naman maganda. So, huwag ka nang magpaka-feeling na magugustuhan ka ni Atty. Topacio."

"In person and on tv, you don't look good at all", Barretto added.

Kabog!

Abrenica, 24, a contract artist of GMA Artist Center since he won as Ultimate Hunk (Survivor) in Startruck: The Next Level in 2007 has filed a Judicial Confirmation of Rescission of Contract against his home network GMA7. The hunk actor was seen in Quezon City Hall of Justice Thursday afternoon July 24.

This means that the hunk actor wants to be released from the binding contract he signed with GMA Network.

Could this be the reason why he's seen together a few days ago with actress Claudine Barretto on Atty Ferdie Topacio's Twitter account?

According to Nelson Canlas' Instagram account, Abrenica decided to file the case because apparently, his career plans are not "aligned" with the network's plans anymore. "Hindi ako nakikipag-away. Tumatanaw ako ng utang na loob. Ayoko sana umabot sa ganito", he adds.

Proofs that Typhoon Glenda is stronger that Typhoon KathNiel

A day before She's Dating The Gangster was shown in theaters, we are all anticipating which "typhoon" willl emerge stronger. Is it Typhoon Glenda or Typhoon KathNiel?

Unfortunately, the Wednesday morning of Mega Manila and the rest of Southern Luzon and Visayas regions were greeted by typhoon Glenda. So in effect, people stayed inside their homes. Although few cinemas were reported to have a long queue for SDTG, one can't be denied that Typhoon Glenda is much stronger than KathNiel.

Here are some photos to prove it:

A portion of Glorietta 5 in Makati City, defaced

Shangri-la (also in Makati City), defaced

Newly-constructed SM Aura facade in Taguig City, worn out

See? Glenda was able to deface these major shopping malls in Metro Manila while KathNiel didn't. As of this writing, no first-day gross had been reported by Star Cinema officials. Fans expect the movie to pick-up by Thursday and the coming weekend.
