Shalani Soledad thankful for Yahoo! OMG! award

Shalani Soledad emerged as the top winner in the Yahoo! OMG! Philippines Awards 2011 which was held Tuesday night at the Republiq.

The beautiful Shalani Soledad won the award Yahoo! OMG! Celebrity of the Year for 2011 and according to the award description, it's given to most-searched celebrity on Yahoo! Philippines from January to May 2011.

Shalani, who's currently Willie Revillame's co-host on "Wil Time Bigtime", deserves the award as I've seen her many times as one of the Top Celebrity Searches on Yahoo! Philippines (ph.yahoo.com) this year.

On Twitter, Shalani is so much thankful for the award she received from Yahoo! Philippines.

You can check her Twitter profile now and you can see there that Shalani is flooding it with tweets of thanks to everyone who congratulated her for the award.

She was inactive on Twitter for 2 weeks, and it's only yesterday that she logged in there again just to say thanks for the award.

Shalani was also nominated in Yahoo! OMG! Awards 2011 Favorite Female TV Host alongside Toni Gonzaga, Alodia Gosiengfiao and Pia Guanio. Winner in the said category was selected based on popular votes and unfortunately, Shalani got the least number of votes. Toni won the award.

Favorite Female TV Host Poll Results:
1. Toni Gonzaga (21,528) 56%
2. Alodia Gosiengfiao (12,398) 32%
3. Pia Guanio (3,298) 9%
4. Shalani Soledad (1,152) 3%

Even Willie Revillame also lost in the Favorite Male TV Host category and also got the lowest votes:
1. Luis Manzano (35,074) 47%
2. Mo Twister (33,930) 45%
3. Vice Ganda (2,631) 4%
4. Vic Sotto (2,150) 3%
5. Willie Revillame (382) 1%

Just last March 2011, Shalani was also recognized by another search engine, Google Philippines, when she ranked #1 on its list of 20 Most Influential Women of 2010 (also based on search queries) placing higher than Kris Aquino who ranked 2nd.

Pia Guanio engaged to Steve Mago, wedding not yet set

Pia Guanio is engaged to marry Steve Mago, her non-showbiz boyfriend for almost a year, after she broke up with Eat Bulaga co-host Vic Sotto, her boyfriend for 7 long years.

Pia Guanio confirmed she's engaged to her boyfriend on last night's newscast of 24 Oras, where she is the showbiz news anchor.

According to Pia, the engagement happened last Saturday, May 7, but no date has been set yet for the wedding.

That confirms Ricky Lo's article on The Philippine Star early this week that Pia was engaged to Steve Mago in a secret engagement last May 7 held at Pia's rest house in Tagaytay.

According to Lo, even Pia's Eat Bulaga's co-hosts had no idea of the engagement.

In April, Pia Guanio and Steve Mago were allegedly the couple in kissing pictures which were posted at FashionPulis.com.

Pia Guanio unfazed by "kiss scandal" with Steve Mago, in lively spirit during Eat Bulaga's Vancouver show

True enough 'coz Pia was showing no signs that she's bothered by the scandal during Eat Bulaga's show in Vancouver, Canada last Saturday, April 23.

Pia gamely joined the Eat Bulaga Dabarkads in entertaining our kababayans in Vancouver, Canada as seen in the pictures below. She danced "Fireworks" with Julia Clarete and "Shembot" with the beautiful Paolo Ballesteros. She also performed a "rock en roll" number with the whole Dabarkads and was positioned next to ex-boyfriend Bossing Vic Sotto.

Both Pia and Vic have moved on already since they parted ways. While Pia already has Steve Mago, Bossing Vic reportedly has a beautiful flight stewardess as his new girlfriend and even brought her along in Vancouver, according to a report from Salve Asis of Pilipino Star Ngayon.

Pia Guanio on kissing photos scandal with Steve Mago: "I don't really care!"

Pia Guanio is allegedly the woman on kissing photos scandal which was posted on a blog last April 16.

The photos which were taken a day before show a woman kissing a man while inside a restaurant in Greenbelt 3.

The blog actually didn't name names. It was presented as a blind item and was titled "Spotted Making Out in Greenbelt".

The only clues given were: the woman is a TV personality who recently ended her long-time relationship with another TV personality, while the guy in the kissing photos was described by the blogger as "hot hunk".

Entertainment website Pep.ph picked up that blog item and featured it on their website the next day. The article was titled "Blogsite shots show a "TV personality" kissing a "hot hunk" in a restaurant in Greenbelt 3. Can you guess who it is?"

And the guessing game results??? Pia Guanio and new boyfriend Steve Mago.

Now, Pep.ph has a new article published an hour ago that Pia Guanio has already reacted on the alleged kissing photos scandal while she and the rest of the Eat Bulaga! Dabarkads are in Vancouver, Canada now for a show there.

The great Allan Diones got the chance to interview Pia and she said that she doesn't care about the issue, she has nothing to explain and that she doesn't read those kind of blogs.

Here's what she said about the scandal photos:

"I don't really care because I try to stay away from those things.

"I'm sorry, pero hindi ako nagbabasa ng mga ganung blogs at ng iba pang online sites, so hindi ko pa talaga nakikita yung pictures.

"At saka I don't have naman to explain myself to anyone. I'm answerable only to myself, to my God, and to my bosses.

"My life is an open book, so hindi ako naba-bother sa mga ganung bagay.

"I don't owe anybody an explanation."

The blind item at Fashion PULIS! was posted a day after Pinoy Parazzi reported that Pia Guanio is reportedly getting married to a non-showbiz guy from Alabang named Steve Mago, that's why it wasn't so hard for people to guess who's the guy Pia was kissing with at Greenbelt.

But as early as February, Ethel Ramos of Malaya newspaper already named Steve Mago as Pia's new boyfriend.

Before Steve, Pia had a 7-year-relationship with her Eat Bulaga co-host Vic Sotto.
