Star Talk and Showbiz Central in a double celebration

NOW CALLED the League of Intrigues, Startalk and Showbiz Central had a double celebration last Thursday night for their twin victories in the ratings game. Startalk has been on air for 14 years now each Saturday afternoon, currently hosted by Ricky Lo who brings exclusive local and foreign entertainment news, Lolit Solis, Butch Francisco and Joey de Leon who makes everyone laugh with his jokes. Showbiz Central on Sundays have varied segments from Don't Lie to Me to Intriga Crossfire, hosted by Pia Guanio, Raymond Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto, John Lapus and DJ Mo. At their joint celebration, Butch and Raymond were absent. We asked the other hosts what qualities they like the most about their respective co-hosts.

Pia Guanio - Sweet (John) is the dynamite in our group, always explosive. Si Peachy, kahit may briefing na, she always surprises us with what she'd say pag on air na siya. Always exciting. Si Mo, we have the same sense of humor and he makes me laugh. Si Raymond naman, very few people know that he's so good with witty one-liners.

John - I'm a big fan of Pia's hosting skills. Magaling talaga siya when she interviews our guests. Si Peachy naman, sa kanya lang ako tumatawa on and off cam. Si Mo, bilib ako sa katapangan niya and si Mond, he's the youngest so he's our bunso. Very intelligent at maraming alam na tsismis.

Rufa Mae - Pia is my idol dahil sa interviewing talent niya. Magkasundo rin kami sa outfits at shoes. Si Sweet, dati ko ng kasama sa movies we did sa Viva at pumapagaspas talaga kami. Si Mo, love-hate ang relationship namin but we have no choice kasi we have to work together, so ang ending bati na rin kami. Si Raymond, we're superfriends na nagsasabihan ng feelings about everything.

DJ Mo - Si Peachy, you don't know what she'll say next with her surprising humor. Si Sweet, I enjoy his competitiveness. We monitor The Buzz, at siya yung, let's go, we have to win and beat this show! Pia is one of my closest friends in the industry and we open up to each other as good friends. Si Mond, I like his drive to be a good host who memorizes all his spiels backstage so he won't use the idiot board.

Ricky Lo - Nauna sa'kin sina Lolit, Joey and Butch sa TV so ang dami na nilang alam at ang dami ko pang dapat matutuhan. So Lolit, I admire yung tapang niya. Kung sino dapat birahin, binibira niya. Siya lang ang may kaya sa'min na bati ng bati throughout the show. Si Joey naman, kahit seryoso sa ini-interview niya, he breaks it with his sense of humor to spice things up. When I joined the show, dun ko na-realized may past pala talaga sila ni Lolit. Akala ko biro-biro ang. Si Butch, malaki ang katawan.

Joey de Leon - Si Pia, magaling daw, sabi ni Pareng Vic. Ewan ko kung saan. Sina Ricky and Butch, magaling, period. Si Lolit, wala nang period. (Everyone laughs.) Seriously, may kanya-kanya silang galing. Si Ricky, ang daming hinarap sa Hollywood, magaling sa Ingglisan. Si Butch, maskulado, malaki ang boses. Si Lolit, Inang Bayad yan. Sini-share niya yung mga nahaharbat niya sa staff. Pag nawala si Lolit sa show, ayoko na, parang wala na siyang buhay.

Lolit Solis - Si Joey, maraming alam na tsismis. Si Ricky, pagpasok sa show, minahal na agad ng staff. Si Butch... (We chose not write what Lolit says about him as we're sure he won't be pleased.)
