This year, it’s Richard Gutierrez and Solenn Heussaff, as the featured couple on Cosmo. Although they are not officially a couple yet, rumor has it that the two are getting there.

Carla Abellana and Geoff Eigenmann were on-screen partners in Rosalinda, The Last Prince and Basahang Ginto.
They got separated for a while on the last quarter of 2010 as Geoff was paired with Glaiza de Castro in Grazilda and Carla Abellana was paired with Dennis Trillo in The Last Romance.
This year, Carla and Geoff will be reunited in the upcoming primetime series “Magic Palayok.” This is their second title role in a primetime series as a loveteam after Rosalinda and their fourth overall after The Last Prince and Basahang Ginto.
Their last project together was the afternoon soap opera Mars Ravelo’s Basahang Ginto and it’s their most successful team-up because the said project was able to top the daytime race not only in Mega Manila but also in Kantar Media’s national TV ratings. This is perhaps the reason why GMA decided to bring them back again in the primetime block.
“Magic Palayok” is set to replace Bantatay on February 26, 2011.

Naglabas na ng mga predictions ang mga manghuhula tungkol sa ilang mga showbiz personalities para sa taong 2011.
Nangunguna sa kanilang prediksyon ay ang napipintong hiwalayan ng Kapuso power couple na sina Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes.
Ayon kay Bro. Arman Cuban, kilala bilang “Famous Psychic of Asia,” nakatakdang maghiwalay sina Marian at Dingdong sa pagkalahati ng taon.
Ayon sa kanya, ang rason kung bakit maghihiwalay ang dalawa ay “third party” sa side ni Dingdong. Makakadagdag pa raw sa napipintong hiwalayan ang pagiging nega ni Marian at maging ang mga magulang daw ni Dingdong ay hindi boto kay Super Inday.
Ayon naman sa column ni Cristy Fermin sa Bulgar, isang modelo raw ang pinopormahan ngayon ni Dingdong at hindi raw tumitigil ang binata hangga’t hindi niya nakukuha ang cell phone number ng girlaloo.
Ano kaya ang masasabi nina Marian at Dingdong sa mga hulang ito laban sa kanilang relasyon?
