Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.

The rumor is that Enchong has a sex tape out there — and that it is with a fellow guy: the openly gay singer/model Sebastian Castro (topmost, no pun intended). When showbiz insider Ogie Diaz released this blind item last Sept. 28, it didn’t take long before netizens tried to guess who the two “stars” are, most, if not all, of them naming Enchong and Sebastian. Enchong has been rumored to be gay for the longest time and this video, if true, should confirm things. According to Ogie, the video is just 10 seconds long (or short), but you’ll clearly see the faces and the naked bodies.
Links, anyone? By the way, the photo above is from an earlier “Enchong Dee scandal,” which turned out to be a scandal involving just a Enchong lookalike.
2. CHRIS TIU IS NOW A MARRIED MAN

Ladies and beks, we are confirming it: Chris Tiu has tied the knot with Clarisse Ong, who is reportedly the only GF Chris has ever had since high school. The two said “I dos” in a Catholic ceremony on Sept 7 — in Canada! They held it in Vancouver because it is the basketball player’s favorite city in the world next to Manila. Last Sunday, the newlyweds had a very belated wedding reception in Makati.
3. MATT EVANS MARRIES GF

Congratulations to the Kapamilya actor who just shared on Instagram that he is now married to Katrina Farinas. Remember when the Muling Buksan ang Puso star was in the news because of allegedly hurting his girlfriend back in October 2012? Well, that was another girl (Johnelline Hickins). Congrats and best wishes to Matt and Katrina!

The Kapuso actress recently guested on several ABS-CBN shows to promote her movie Kung Fu Divas. When she was interviewed by Boy Abunda for the “Ikaw Na” segment of the news show Bandila, she was asked if it’s hard being beautiful, to which she replied, “Konti.” She explained that this is because when people view you as beautiful, expectations are high. “Kailangan kapag lalabas ka, palagi kang maganda.” Ikaw na, Marian!
5. YENG: FROM SINGER TO ACTRESS

Good news for all Yengsters out there: Yeng Constantino is already working on her debut movie called Shift. It’s an entry to the Cinema One Originals Film Festival happening from Nov. 10 to 19. Her leading man is Felix Roco, and she has nice words for the actor: “Sobrang galing niyang actor, gusto kong iparamdam na nakikipagtrabaho sa mas marunong na sa larangan na ganito.”
