Ejay Falcon Nude Photo Scandal

Kapamilya young actor Ejay Falcon is not at all affected on the issue of his supposed nude photo that has been the feast of netizens lately.

In his interview with “The Buzz,” Ejay said the nude photo came out after he won the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus in 2008.

He vehemently denied that it was him in the photo.

“Dalawa ‘yon. May video pa na ako nakatalikod naman daw. Pero ako, alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi po ako ‘yon,” he said. “Mas kakabahan ako kung mukha ko talaga ‘yong nakikita. Pero hindi po naka-side view siya.”

When asked that the teenager in the photo looks like him, Ejay countered: “Marami naman po akong kamukha. Hindi nila mapapatunayan na ako talaga ‘yon.”

He also pointed out that he is not the first artist to be involved in such controversy.

“Hindi lang naman ako ang artistang biktima noon. Sana tigilan ninyo na po kasi marami kayong taong nabibiktima, marami kayong taong nababastos,” he appealed.

Jake Cuenca Clears "Sapakan Issue" with Jason Abalos

Jake Cuenca admitted in a statement sent to “The Buzz” last Sunday that he and fellow actor Jason Abalos were involved in a heated argument Saturday night, November 20, in Davao.

He denied, however, that they got into a fistfight.

Jake made the admission to dispute circulating text messages about the supposed brawl involving him and Jason and to dismiss the speculations that the feud could be connected to actress Melissa Ricks who are both romantically linked to the two Kapamilya actors.

According to the statement read on-air by “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda, Jake and Jason began to raise their voices at each other while discussing about a touchy subject.

He clarified though that the argument never turned violent.

“I would like to clarify that no one was harmed. Wala pong nagsapakan. Nagkataasan lang kami ng boses dahil medyo emotional ang pinag-uusapan namin,” Jake said.

He added, “Everything is better now. Nagkaayos na po kami ni Jason as early as last night. We patched things up already and we talked again this morning.”

He also apologized to Jason for being “confrontational last night. And I acknowledged I was wrong and I am taking full responsibility.”

He also thanked fellow Kapamilya actor Coco Martin for convincing them to fix things up.

Shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal & Anne Hathaway for Entertainment Weekly

Interesting pair Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway goes topless as they hug each other on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s latest issue.

The picture cover was unveiled Wednesday November 17 when Jake guested at The Late Show with David Letterman to talk about working with Anne in their latest film Love and Other Drugs.

“I mean, look. I’ve had a pretty illustrious career at this point but the hardest thing has been pretending to be turned on by Anne Hathaway,” Jake joked.

When asked by David how actors do a love scene without any accidents, Jake revealed “it’s an art form.”

“It’s very carefully planned out. It’s actually very much like football, you know. There are plays. You just got to look for holes in her defensive end,” he said, before quickly adding, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it like that!”

Charlie Sheen’s Lawyer Denies Porn Star’s Allegations

Capri Anderson, the adult-film star who was with Charlie Sheen when he trashed his New York hotel room last month, has said in an interview that the actor tried to strangle her.

However, Sheen’s lawyer immediately dismissed the claims made by Anderson in the interview with ABC’s Good Morning America and Nightline, saying that the adult-film actress is just out to squeeze some cash from his client. “These allegations against Mr. Sheen are completely false, and are a blatant attempt to cash in on his celebrity,” lawyer Yale Galanter said in a statement. “Ms. Capri never made any allegation to the police of any wrongful conduct on the part of Mr. Sheen on the night of the incident and she had every opportunity to do so.”

In the interview, Anderson said she was scared when Sheen held her by the neck. “When I became really uncomfortable is when he put his hands around my neck,” she said, adding that Sheen became angry when she asked him to release her. “He started throwing things. He threw a lamp. That was the first thing he picked up.”

Playboy Offer to Rihanna

Rihanna may not be averse to shedding her clothes for the camera, but flaunting her body for Playboy is just not her cup of tea. The Barbadian R&B singer said in a recent interview that she has received several offers to pose for the men’s magazine, but rejected them all.

“I got a few offers to do Playboy actually. They want to pay [me] to be naked on the cover,” she said on “The Angie Martinez Show.” The “Umbrella” singer said she would not have a problem posing nude as long as the photos are done in a “classy way.” “If I’m gonna take my clothes off, it has to be in a classy way and my will, not a check. I wouldn’t take any money to do that,” she said.

Rihanna is currently busy promoting her latest album, “Loud,” which is the singer’s first record under R&B mogul Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Management. The 22-year-old performed at the American Music Awards on Sunday, singing “Love the Way You Lie (Part II),” the follow up to “Love the Way You Lie,” her Billboard-topping collaboration with Eminem earlier this year.

Lindsay Lohan Out of “Inferno”

The producers of the Linda Lovelace biopic “Inferno” have decided to burn bridges with erstwhile lead star Lindsay Lohan.

Director Matthew Wilder confirmed that they are now negotiating with the new actress who will play 70s porn star Lovelace, adding that they’ve decided to move without Lohan due to the personal problems of the young actress. “We have stuck by Lindsay very patiently for a long time with a lot of love and support…Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her, and some other issues, have made it impossible for us to go forward,” Wilder told Eonline.

Lohan was supposed to play Lovelace, who became famous when she made the highly successful porn film “Deep Throat.” The 24-year-old Lohan even went to the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year to promote the film before her life turned for the worse again when she failed a court-ordered drug test in September. Lohan has since entered the Betty Ford rehabilitation center in a bid to salvage her career and, ultimately, her own life.

A rep for Lohan confirmed that the “Mean Girls” actress is no longer attached to “Inferno.” “Lindsay is dedicated to her recovery and together they decided to move forward without her.”
