Nikki Gil Is A Virgin, Stated By Iya Villania

"Nikki Gil is a virgin."

This was the statement of TV host and former "ASAP" performer Iya Villania as she came to the defense of her close friend, actress-singer Nikki Gil, amid criticisms questioning her virginity.

The statement was in response to an Instagram user's comment on one of Gil's photos, telling the actress to stop denying any sexual relations she had with Crawford.

Gil's vow to not have sex until marriage became public in the months following her split from Crawford in July 2013. At the time, it was speculated as one of the reasons behind the breakup.

In a July 2014 interview on "Aquino & Abunda Tonight," Gil, who is rumored to be in a relationship with businessman BJ Albert, said her decision to stay a virgin still stands.

Sarah Geronimo As Rapunzel From The Movie Tangled And Kim Chiu As Mulan

Disney Channel Asia on Monday officially released the posters of Sarah Geronimo and Kim Chiu dressed up as Rapunzel and Mulan, respectively.

The release of the official posters marks the end of Disney’s “12 Days of Princess” campaign. The 12 princess characters will be included in a still-unannounced project in Southeast Asia.

In her photo, Geronimo is seen with a blonde wig as she looks outside the window, similar to the popular scene of Rapunzel in the 2010 animated film "Tangled."

Chiu, on the other hand, is seen posing as Mulan in pink hanfu.

The first look at Geronimo as Rapunzel came a month after Disney debuted the music video of the pop star's version of "The Glow," the theme song of the popular Disney Princess franchise.

Chiu, meanwhile, confirmed in October last year that she had been selected to portray Mulan from the 1998 animated film in an unspecified project.

Disney has yet to reveal the major project the two Kapamilya actresses will be part of.

Marian Rivera And Dingdong Dantes Are Now Married

Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera are now officially married.

The couple was pronounced husband and wife at exactly 4:10 P.M. on December 30.

The wedding ceremony was officiated by Bishop Honesto Ongtioco at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao, Quezon City.

Marian was all smiles as she walked down the aisle on her own at first.

The Kapuso Primetime Queen was every inch the stunning bride in her Swarovski-studded Michael Cinco gown with matching bejeweled tiara as part of her headpiece.

But before reaching Dingdong’s side, Marian was ushered by her parents Francisco Javier Gracia and Amalia Rivera.

Marian was also greeted by her Lola Francisca, who shed tears upon seeing the radiant bride.

The groom, for his part, was obviously in high spirits as he waited for Marian at the end of the altar.

During the ceremony, Bishop Teodoro Bacani delivered the Homily about eternal love between a married couple.

For their wedding vows, Dingdong and Marian uttered the traditional Roman Catholic wedding vows.

When they were about to exchange their first kiss as husband and wife, Marian laughed a little before she and Dingdong finally sealed their promise of forever with a kiss.

The couple even fist-bumped and laughed at each other, proving that they’re not just lovers but also the best of friends.

After the mandatory photo-ops at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, the couple went straight to the wedding reception at MOA Arena.

The main entrance of the venue featured a mobile bar where guests were welcomed with cocktail drinks.

Inside the lobby, Dingdong and Marian’s favorite food, movies, and date places were written in floor-to-ceiling calligraphy panels, which also served as a photo wall for new arrivals.

The patron area of MOA Arena was transformed into a huge ballroom with what seemed to be like handcrafted chandeliers, beautifully-arranged long tables and floral centerpieces.

Interestingly, the seven-course-meal includes “sinigang na hipon ni Marian,” which happens to be her specialty dish.

The program is hosted by Bettina Carlos and Gabby Eigenmann.
