Eat Bulaga 'Taktak Mo o Tatakbo' - Another Noontime Show Scam?

The Philippines longest running noontime TV show is currently facing a controversy.

A video clip on YouTube titled "Eat Bulaga Dayaan - Huling Huli" showed an alleged cheating in the 'Taktak Mo o Tatakbo' game segment of Eat Bulaga that sparked a flurry of commentary on internet forums.

In the jackpot round of the said segment, the contestant spun the roulette and it stopped almost midway the one million pesos and fifty thousand pesos. In the video clip, although it was a close call it seemed that the pointer was on the 1 million side of the roulette. But Vic Sotto said, "Ako tingin ko rito lamang sa, walang ano 'to ha, lamang sa singkwenta..."

Paolo Ballesteros, A Father-To-Be

Paolo Ballesteros has long been rumored to be a closet gay since he started cross-dressing in the gay pageants of "Eat Bulaga." Unlike other actors who get offended when they were reported to be gay, Paolo took it in good stride and even played a transvestite role in "Zaido." He was last seen as Bukanding in the recently concluded "Dyesebel." At the launching of GMA-7’s spanking new studios, Paolo confessed that he’s the actor who’s reported in blind items as a father to be. His US-based girlfriend named Kaye will deliver their love child, a baby girl, on the last week of November and he’s hoping the baby will share his birthday, November 29. He and Kaye used to be classmates in college and they went steady until she moved to Chicago, Illinois. Early this year, after "Zaido" ended, Paolo went to the US to visit his sick dad in New York.

He met with Kaye there and something happened between them while he was staying there. So now, he’ll soon be a father. He’ll be flying there in November to make sure he’s with Kaye when she delivers their baby. But no, they haven’t talked about getting married.

"Mahirap ang arrangement kasi nandito ang trabaho ko at hindi rin naman ganun kadali for me to be petitioned para mabigyan ako ng permit to live there," he says. "Basta I promised Kaye that I will support our baby sa abot ng aking makakaya."
