Toni Gonzaga looks prettier

Toni Gonzaga looks prettier these days. "Gumaganda kasi may nagpapaganda," says one reporter, referring to her boyfriend, director Paul Soriano, who looks good enough to be in front of the camera himself but doesn’t want to be an actor.

Now that "Pinoy Big Brother" is off the air, Toni is hosting a new show with her two co-hosts in PBB, Mariel Rodriguez and Bianca Gonzales. Starting this Saturday, they will top bill "Entertainment Live," which

will be pitted against "Startalk," right after "Wowowee."

"We know we’re facing tough competition," says Toni, "but we’re ready to face the challenge."

"We’ll do our best to come up with an informative, intriguing yet very entertaining show each week," says Mariel.

"With the three of us joining forces in this show, we’re sure we’ll get to attract more viewers as we present and discuss the latest showbiz issues in town," adds Bianca.

How do Mariel and Bianca feel that their colleague Toni now has a boyfriend but they remain loveless?

"Siempre, we’re happy for her," says Mariel. "We wish them all the best."

"Toni is like a sister kaya ngayon pa lang, we’re warning Paul not to break her heart at lagot siya sa’min," says Bianca.

To be shown in "Entertainment Live" is Sandara Park’s departure. Sandy left for good and went back to Korea with her mom and two siblings Wednesday night. She has had no assignment for three months now and she feels it would be much better for them to just return home to their native land. Meantime, Roxanne Guinoo cried buckets when she was taken out of "Wowowee" as one of the hosts. No, it’s not because Janelle Jaymer is back in the show. She was just told to concentrate on "Natutulog Pa ang Diyos" which is now shown on primetime. Their taping almost everyday and sometimes, she has no energy left when she’s hosting "Wowowee."
