Dyesebel star and GMA 7’s latest sensation Marian Rivera does not deny that she has a non-showbiz boyfriend but has to keep mum about it.  Understandably,  GMA management does not want her to publicize her personal love affair, but rather promote her team-up with Dingdong Dantes.  So she avoids talking about the guy even when reporters push her against the wall to admit it. It only goes to show that she’s willing to sacrifice her personal life, all for the sake of her profession. Marian and Dingdong will also be  paired in a movie tentatively titled ‘Amnesia’.

After more than 3 years of operating Khan Online in the Philippines, the online gaming company Level Up! has finally shut it down for good.

The license for the game expired last April 30, 2008 and Level Up! didn’t renew the contract. This was primarily due to low gamer usage and new developments in the content of the game.

Khan and its community have seen its fair share of changes and cool events throughout these three years together. Let us recall some of Khan’s glorious history all the way from its humble beginnings:

- A new full 3D MMORPG was launched by NetGames on September 2004 called Khan Online.
- Khan Online went commercial in January 2005
- Touted as one of the MMORPG’s with the best party system.
- Khan has been known to hold some of the most exciting guild wars!
- Very diverse community known to possess the most “angas” factor be it in-game or in real life.
- LU Live BakbaKHAN 2006 -2007

Khan gamers will be migrated to another game, Perfect World:

Migration into PW’s New Server - Serpent on March 31, 2008 will hold compensation for your hard work in Khan and although the loss of Khan is a sad blow, the community can still live on. Hold high the Khanatic spirit as you delve into new adventures amidst the rich and diverse community Perfect World has to offer.

In a radio interview, Lotlot, mother of four and active in some TV soaps, clarified that what she got was nullity of marriage and not annulment, having falsified her and Monching’s age when they got married. She was just 17 at the time. She also divulged that she and Monching were already leading their separate lives though living under one roof prior to their formal admission of having parted ways a couple of years ago.
