Hindi nakapagtataka kung mga celebrity endorsers ng Bench clothing line ang nagpatingkad sa launching ng Charles & Keith Ladies' Fashion Footwear na ginanap sa Greenbelt 5 noong January 9, dahil franchise pala ni Ben Chan, may-ari ng Bench, ang nasabing footwear line dito sa Pilipinas.

Early birds ang mag-asawang Richard Gomez at Lucy Torres.

Sa panayam sa kanila ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), napag-usapan ang balitang on the family way ang magandang asawa ng aktor. Both wished the rumors were true. "Talagang gusto naming maging totoo kaya lang, talagang wala, eh...Pero very optimistic si Lucy. We're hoping that this year magkaroon kami ng baby," pahayag ni Goma.

Ayon naman kay Lucy, hindi naman sila na-bother sa news, instead, ikinatuwa nila ito ni Richard. "The closest I can think of, every year kasi, tinatanong kami kung ano yung wishes namin. Naging vocal naman ako in saying na we really want a second child, that's all. I really don't know where that ‘two months' came from pero sana magkatotoo."

Samantala, very elegant si Isabelle Daza, na anak ng 1969 Ms. Universe na si Gloria Diaz, nang gabing 'yon. She is currently finishing her studies at De La Salle University at nasa fourth year na. Hopefully, she will graduate with honors.

After graduation, magde-decide na siya kung mag-aartista ba siya o sasali sa beauty pageant. "Right now, my priorities are school and, hopefully, I'll finish that and see what [happens] after. Beauty contests are hard, it's tough. There are many beautiful women out there...We'll try. Showbiz naman, it's very hard. Now it becomes a tri-media, an artist should know how to sing, dance, act, and host. I grew up with my mom. She works late hours and sleep very, very late."

Dumating din si Jomari Yllana na guwapong-guwapo pa rin kahit na abalang-abala siya sa ipalalabas na concert sa Araneta Coliseum sa February 6. Missing You ang pamagat nito at itatampok sina Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez, at si Jomari ang producer.

Ayon sa kanya, "Nakakapagod ang pagpo-produce ng concert at nakaka-stress. Pero it's fun naman. Yun fun time sa amin ay yung learnings, from production to ticket sales."

Priscilla Mereilles graced the event sans John Estrada. Kinumpirma nito ang pagdating ng kanyang mga magulang noong holiday season pero nakabalik na raw sila sa U.S. "All good words" daw ang nasabi ng mga magulang nito kay John, who served as their very efficient tour guide sa pamamasyal nila sa Subic at iba pang lugar.

Regine Angeles, the winner of Be Bench, was also spotted. Ayon sa kanya, she has been loveless since she won the Be Bench contest, pero happy naman siya dahil maraming siyang guest roles sa mga shows ng ABS-CBN.

Nandoon din si Karylle, who looked so lovely and sexy but unescorted. Bigla itong tumili noong biruin namin na kahit unescorted siya ay may susundo naman sa kanya.

Aniya, she is busy completing her first album, under Poly BMI, which will be released this February. "Tatlo sa mga kanta doon, ako ang sumulat," masaya nitong pahayag. Sabay din dito yung pagde-deny niya na si Christian Bautista ang nagbigay ng bouquet of roses na iniabot sa kanya noong nag-guest siya sa The Buzz. "Sa totoo lang po, secret. Alam mo sa play, maraming nagbibigay ng regalo sa opening night. Tradition na ito pero yung sa The Buzz, pag alam ko na sasabihin ko."

NOOD KA MUNA!

Ang may bitbit na surprise that night was Diether Ocampo. Sumulpot ito na may kasamang mestiza lady, na constant date daw ng aktor. Walang napigang balita mula sa actor, lalo tungkol sa date niya. Pero napag-alaman namin na Rima Otswani ang pangalan ng babaeng nagpapasaya ngayon kay Diet.

Sa pangkalahatan, naging matagumpay ang nasabing launch ng Charles & Keith fashion footwear. At hindi tulad ng ibang events, walang anumang aberya na naganap.
