After five years, Liz Almoro still traumatized over her marriage with Willie Revillame
I did not expect to be seated beside the ex-wife of Willie Revillame, Liz Almoro in the premiere of “Sex and the City 2” sponsored by Grace Chua of Mercedes Benz nor did I recognize the stunning beauty. She was humble and unassuming despite her statuesque beauty. She introduced herself to me. This is how our conversation went.
Liz: Hi Giselle! We’re Facebook friends! I’m Liz Almoro. I’m your fan.
Giselle: You do like comedians hehe. I’m so sorry I did not recognize you. I wrote about you in my column last week and for the propriety of fair comment, I need to get your side. I interviewed Victor Aliwalas to get a comment if you’re indeed dating and he gave me such a showbiz answer of “I’d appreciate it if you would not write about me and Liz because we are really just friends.” Then he banged the phone on me. How rude can he get! He has an attitude. I don’t like him! You tell him that! You don’t deserve him. You’re so nice and pretty. He’s rough and has no p.r. at all. What’s eating him anyway?
Liz: In fairness to Victor, I think he just doesn’t want to drag my name in showbiz because some people think he’s using me to get publicity.
Giselle: So are you really dating?
Liz: We’re hanging out. If you must know I’m dating a few men and no one exclusively. Na-trauma na kasi ako dati. Alam mo na. Di pa rin naalis.
Too bad the movie started so I couldn’t really fish the details on why was she so traumatized over her marriage with Willie. Oh and I stand corrected, Liz isn’t a cougar, she’s only 32. I wrote that she was 42. My bad.
In defense of ‘Sex and the City 2’
It was a delight to watch the four cougars of “Sex and the City 2” work their hormones and their men. Although many critics have reviewed the four as bubbleheads and the movie “idiotic,” I beg to disagree.
The movie had very witty dialog. I laughed for minutes when Charlotte saw Samantha’s 42 menopause pills and asked her, “Can you swallow all of that?” Then Samantha answers her without batting an eyelash – “Have we met?” Hahaha!
Of course, I was the only one in the movie house that laughed at Samantha’s “Lawrence of my Labia!.” So to all the critics of “Sex and the City 2,” can you just please allow us women to delight in the celebration of vacuousness for feel-goods sake! Let’s not take it as a serious film coz it’s not! It’s an escapist’s delight. The movie probing on women being able to live through narrow-minded cultures, aging, marriage and motherhood makes me proud to be a woman! For Liza Minelli’s “Single Ladies” number, the movie is a must-watch.
Sorry kid, it’s your Momma-Cougar I like, not you!
“It’s really hard to be a mother” was another memorable quote by Miranda in ‘Sex and the City 2.’ But it’s more difficult if this Mother-Cougar-Telenovela-Actress (MCTA) cannot date this popular young actor (PYA) because of the fact that her daughter-actress (DA) has a big high school crush on PYA.
MCTA would often invite PYA to “inuman” sessions in her home and PYA would oblige because PYA has this thing for older women. But after noticing that MCTA would always bring her daughter-actress to their drinking sessions and tease the two of them, PYA realized that he does not have a chance with MCTA.
Mommy also stopped inviting PYA to her house for drinking socials because daughter-actress is sensing that PYA does not have the hots for her but for Mommy Dear. So they all decided to quit the rigodon before a real telenovela happens in their lives should MCTA decide to go for PYA who is really so hot he’s a cure for headaches!
Muscat with Jed Madela
While watching “Sex and the City 2,” I was having a déjà vu of my trip several days ago with Jed Madela in Muscat,Oman. Upon arriving at the airport, the humidity of 54 degrees slapped me in the face and I was about to remove my jacket when our producer from Western Union stopped and reminded me that I should not show skin. “Kukuyugin ka nila,” with eyes wide open she told me.
“I thought this was an open city? This is the new Middle East, right? Just like Abu Dhabi in ‘Sex and the City 2.’ She told me it was indeed an open city but I still had to respect their culture. So out of respect, I let my armpits sweat and get “baktol” all over the sleeves of my jacket in fear of my visa being revoked. Thank God I was having a show with Jed Madela. In between my hot flushes (and I’m not even freakin’ menopausing), he would fan me, carry my bag and put the a.c. directly where I am.
In the middle of the summer heat, Jed Madela was in fire when he performed. I never realized what put him in the star status level until I watched him perform. Boy was it a delight to watch him belt songs with Celine Dion and Whitney Houston pitches.
When I met Jed at the airport for the first time, I was trying to decipher what was it that placed him on star status level. He wasn’t really a looker nor a “hipon.” A “hipon” or shrimp is defined as a hunky muscled man without the looks to go with it.
When you eat a shrimp, you take out the head and eat the body. So that’s what a hipon is, “Tapon ulo, kain katawan.” But the world class talent Olympics champion blew me and his audience in Oman.
After my comedy performance, the energy level which was already high, went up five notches higher, any more would remove the roof of the Al Falaj stadium. Gary V. and Martin Nievera, watch out for this young man, you guys found yourselves a match!
