Richard Gomez to stay in showbiz despite political plans

"Yes, I'm running [for congress], tuloy na. Surveys showed na malakas ako sa tao and that's very encouraging. The people there really want change. They're not happy with what's happening now."

This is how Richard Gomez explained his motivation for running as representative of the fourth district of Leyte.

It can be recalled that Gomez ran for---and lost---a senatorial post in 2007. He admits it was a learning experience that will be with him "forever."

"I learned a lot from that. That time...nangangapa pa ako. Mahirap pero in the end, hindi ako umatras. It's easy to give up but, you know, I really wanted to serve.

"Ang pulitika naman, hindi dapat seasonal. You just don't go about convincing people that you can [serve]---you go out there and show them. [You] do the hard work."

According to Gomez, choosing Leyte as a jump-off point to serve the country is a no-brainer.

"My wife is from the place and I'm an [adopted] son of the place as well. And as I said, people there are really supportive of me, so really, I'm just doing this from that viewpoint.

"The truth of the matter is, kapag nabigyan ka ng chance makagawa ng public service, ang sarap ng feeling na nakikita mo na nakakatulong ka sa ibang tao..."

His concerned fans, however, got worried about their idol leaving behind a flourishing showbiz career for politics.

The actor said they have nothing to fear.

"I won't leave showbiz. I actually got a new manager (Wyngard Tracy). But if ever...kung sakaling palarin tayo [in politics], I will just have to manage my time better.

"Hindi biro itong pinasok ko, so I might not be as active [in my showbiz commitments]. But I am definitely not retiring. Not yet," said he smiling.

As to his hosting the TV game show, "Family Feud," Gomez assures that he will continue to do the show but that he "might take a leave of absence" during the campaign period.

"I will be out 45 days before election, so what we're thinking is having Lucy (Torres, his wife) to replace me as host. Kayang-kaya naman ni Lucy 'yon."

Angel Locsin and Luis Manzano finally meet four months after they broke up

Naging hot topic sa "POV (Points, Opinions and Violent Reactions)" segment ng The Buzz kahapon, November 1, ang tungkol sa hiwalayan ng dating magkasintahang sina Angel Locsin at Luis Manzano.

Sa VTR na ipinalabas ay ipinakita ang nangyaring pagsasama sa stage nina Angel at Luis sa ASAP' 09 kahapon, na talaga namang ikinagulat ng marami. Pagkaraan ng apat na buwang pananahimik mula noong breakup ay kahapon pa lang sila nagkita muli.

ANGEL AND LUIS SPEAK UP. After ng ASAP ay magkahiwalay na ininterbyu ng The Buzz ang dalawa para hingan ng reaksyon.

"Ngayon lang ulit kami nagkita. Tapos biglaan pa. Hindi ko alam na kasama ako sa opening. Ay, kasama pala ako sa opening. So, medyo nakakaloka yung reaksyon ko!" bulalas ni Angel.

Sambit naman ni Luis, "Hindi ko nga alam kung nag-holding hands kami. I'm not sure, I can't remember kung nag-holding hands nga kami."

Sinabi rin ni Angel na for a time ay talagang hindi sila nag-uusap ng ex-boyfriend.

"Parang ang weird naman kung lagi pa rin kaming nag-uusap, di ba? Parang... nag-break pa kami," ani Angel.

Aminado ang dalaga na bagamat nagkakausap na sila ngayon ay hindi pa rin sila 100 percent okay.

"Hindi ko kayang plastikin yung sarili ko, di ba? Parang ang weird naman nun na biglang chummy-chummy kami kaagad. Nagulat naman talaga ako, di ba? Siya rin naman siguro nagulat, e. Kaya lang, kaya niyang dalhin yung sarili niya," sabi ni Angel.

Sa tanong kung mahal pa ba nila ang isa't isa, "My God!" sagot ni Angel, sabay tawa. "'Yan ang tanong na hindi ko kayang sagutin sa ngayon."

Nami-miss ba niya si Luis?

"Nami-miss ko kung paano kami dati. Pero hindi ko siya nami-miss," deretsong sagot ni Angel.

Ayon naman kay Luis, "No matter what we answer dun, iba ang magiging pananaw ng mga tao. Mami-misconstrue yung mga sagot namin, e. Siguro sa amin yung mga ganung tanong, e sa aming dalawa na lang."

VILMA MISSES ANGEL. Nagbigay din ng pahayag si Luis tungkol sa sinabi ng mommy niyang si Gov. Vilma Santos na nami-miss niya at mahal pa rin niya si Angel.

"I can really say that... At alam ni Angel yun. Sinabi ko kay Angel," sabi ni Luis.

Ito naman ang sagot ni Angel, "Gusto ko lang sabihin kay Tita, siya pa rin ang idol ko kahit ano ang mangyari. Kahit anuman ang mangyari, nandito pa rin ako para suportahan siya."

Maganda naman ang dating kay Luis ng muli nilang pagkikita at pag-uusap.

"Kung anuman yung mangyari sa amin, what we have right now is a very good start," wika ni Luis.

NO NEW LOVE. Ikinagulat naman ni Angel ang balitang may bago na raw siyang pag-ibig.

"Wow, sino ba 'yang bagong pag-ibig na 'yan? Bagong pag-ibig... Wala akong metro, wala akong taxi, so hindi naman ako nagmamadali," pagbibiro ni Angel.

So, si Luis pa rin?

"Hindi ko masabi... hindi ko masabi. Gabriela ako, e. Marunong naman akong mag-isip," makahulugang sagot ni Angel.

Gilles Marini Rates the New Season of 'Dancing with the Stars'

Last season's "Dancing with the Stars" runner-up, Gilles Marini, who has joined the cast of "Brothers and Sisters" for five episodes -- possibly more, talks to ET about the new cast of the hit dance competition.

"I want to see Mark Dacascos rise and show amazing things because I know he is athletic and I know he can pull out some amazing dances. I cannot wait to see him," Gilles tells ET.

"The other front runners, I think, would be Mya, Aaron Carter and Donny Osmond," he continues. "Those three are really professional entertainers and dancers. There is no doubt about it. For me, it is hard to relate to them. I like to relate to the people who are dancing on 'Dancing with the Stars,' so for me, I need to relate to someone who has never danced before. I want to see that person commit to it and have a very hard work ethic. I believe this is what I did last year. I was proud of what I accomplished with Cheryl Burke."

"Dancing with the Stars" airs tonight on ABC at 8 p.m.
