Revillame said that he won't jump into the politics unless he is sure that Filipinos really want him to run.
"Saka ako, pakikiramdaman ko muna kung gusto talaga ako ng taong tumakbo, hindi 'yong gusto ko, kasi madaling tumakbo," Revillame said.
The popular host even shared the advice he got from King of Comedy Dolphy on politics. According to Revillame, Dolphy told him that it's easy to run, but what you will do after you win is the biggest problem.
"Tama si tito Dolphy. Kapag nanalo ka, ano ang gagawin mo? Dapat ready ka na, ngayon palang nagpi-prepare ka na dahil kapag nanalo ka, dapat ito ang gagawin ko, dapat open na ako (na) ito ang pera ko hanggang sa single cent mo, alam ng tao you know talagang serbisyo," Revillame explained.
Revillame believes that it's really hard to be a politician since all the things you do are magnified.
"You know mahirap kasing magsilbi ng hindi bukal sa loob mo dapat ready ka na for that (kasi) mata mo lang ang walang latay diyan. Kasi kapag tumakbo ka, ang hahanapin sa iyo diyan 'yong kasamaan mo hindi naman 'yong kabutihan mong ginagawa. Ang hahanapin sa iyo ng tao diyan ay 'yong ginawa mong mali and not 'yong ginawa mong tama," Revillame said.

Willie Revillame has finally decided not to run into politics
Actress Niña Jose shot down speculations that she had a "boob job"
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Jose said she has nothing against people who undergo cosmetic surgery, but insisted she had never tried it. "It's just, it's not me. I'm not that type. I'm scared (of cosmetic surgery)," she said.
Jose is the 2010 calendar girl for a popular brand of liquor that produces sexy posters of women in skimpy clothing or bikinis. She had previously posed in equally skimpy attire for the covers of men's magazines like FHM (March 2008) and Maxim (February 2009).
Jose took the "boob job" rumors as a compliment, saying she is glad that people think her breasts and nose are too good to be true.
"Well, I'm happy they think I look good. They think may pinagawa ako. So okay lang. My face is real. My boobs are real, everything is real," she said.
Jose has a regular stint on the gag show "Banana Split" and is currently part of the ABS-CBN afternoon show "Nagsimula sa Puso" with Maja Salvador and Coco Martin.
She is also taping for the movie "Mano Po 6" under Regal Films, which is an official entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.

Six "Pinoy Big Brother" (PBB) reality show contestants face eviction this week
"Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up" housemates were still reeling from the departure of Katlin, a contestant from Big Brother Finland, and Delio's eviction when they heard the announcement.
Those nominated for eviction include 2 individuals from House A and 4 from House B.
It has been almost a month since the contestants shacked up in a house equipped with numerous cameras so the public can view their activities, and a confession room where they interact with an all-seeing, seemingly omnipresent "Big Brother."
In House A, Yuri was nominated for eviction (5 votes) for constantly sleeping, while Tom was nominated for eviction (6 votes) because his housemates feel he is "too bossy and opinionated" in certain instances.
In House B, Tibo and Paul Jake received the most eviction nominations (5 votes) each because their housemates reportedly felt that they miss their loved ones too much.
Housemate Jason, meanwhile, was nominated for eviction with 3 votes because he reportedly violated too many of the house rules.
Also with 3 votes for eviction, Carol is said to be unable to adjust to the stresses inside the Pinoy Big Brother House.
Meanwhile, Housemate Cathy has returned to the Philippines from the exchange program with Big Brother Finland.
Those nominated for eviction can be saved by viewers who text in their votes via 2311 for Globe, TM, Sun Cellular, and Bayan Wireless users; and 231 for Smart and Talk n' Text subscribers.
Audiences can also vote online at www.pinoybigbrother.com/vote.

Delio Dimaculangan is the latest evictee in “Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Double Up”
The cook from Batangas got the lowest number of text votes (5.43%) among fellow nominees for the second eviction Jason Francisco (51.42%), Tom Mott (22.78%), Patrick Villanueva (14.23%), and Mariel Sorino (6.40%).
This is the first time the new House B lost a housemate to eviction. Housemates in House B were speechless when host Toni Gonzaga called on Delio to make his exit.
Delio’s final week inside the Big Brother house was utterly dramatic. He got into an argument that left the usual joker Melisa Cantiveros in tears. He also had a misunderstanding with his other housemates amidst the rehearsal for the Cultural Show weekly task.
A couple of nights ago, the Batangueño almost made a voluntary exit when he had too much to drink and became deeply emotional.
As he was welcomed in the outside world by his sister and young nephew, Delio thanked the people who supported him in his month-long stay inside the Big Brother house. He said that being a housemate taught him the value of standing by his principles.
In his final message, Delio told his housemates to continue their good work in weekly tasks.
Meanwhile, with Delio’s goodbye, the housemates will say hello again to Cathy Remperas who just left Big Brother Finland where she lived for one week for the Big Swap. Cathy is ready to share her experience of having a taste of the Finnish culture.

Sarah Geronimo said she was initially alarmed of Kimerald fans' violent reactions
Fans of the Anderson - Kim Chiu "love team" were opposed to the on-screen pairing between Geronimo and Anderson, and some openly criticized Geronimo for it.
"Masyado nang maraming nasasabing hindi maganda sa amin. [There are so many bad things said about us (Sarah and Gerald)," Geronimo told the gossip show "The Buzz" on Sunday.
The singer said she understands why fans of Chiu and Anderson are reluctant to break up their favorite "love team", but that she had never forced to pair up with Anderson- both on-screen and off-screen.
"Naiintindihan ko lahat 'yong mga fans ng 'Kimerald' (short for Kim and Gerald), wala sa akin 'yon. Hindi ko po kasi ipinagpipilitan ang sarili ko na makapareha si Gerald. Wala na, tapos na po. Ako na po ang nagsasabi na itigil na po natin [ang issue] kasi hindi maganda ang nagiging resulta," she said.
[I understand all the fans of Kimerald, that's nothing to me. I never forced myself to pair with Gerald. It's done, it's over. I'm asking everyone to stop making an issue out of it, because the results are not good.]
"The Buzz" host Boy Abunda, meanwhile, praised the singer for wanting to "stay out of trouble."
Abunda, who spoke in Geronimo's defense, described her as "shy and quite off-stage" and that Geronimo is a "good girl who always stays close to her family."
Though demure off-stage, Geronimo reportedly transforms into a daring performer onstage.
Her recent concert titled "Record Breaker" and held at the Araneta Center in Cubao on November 7 was attended by thousands of Geronimo's fans and celebrity friends filled up all the 25,000 seats at the stadium.
Present to show their support were Anne Curtis, Rachelle Ann Go, Christian Bautista, Iya Villania, and Regine Velasquez, among others.

Rock Princess Yeng Constantino denies lesbian rumor
Rock Princess Yeng Constantino may not wear high heels and sexy clothes like other girls, but she said this does not mean that she is a lesbian.
Constantino made this clarification amid rumors about her sexual preference. The “Pinoy Dream Academy” season 1 grand winner said the rumors may have stemmed from the fact that she doesn't love to dress up much.
"Pero ang masasabi ko doon ay hindi naman ako 'yong typical o stereotype na babae na kikay o naka-heels or whatever. Pero it doesn't mean na [I'm lesbian]," the singer said.
She added: "Alam ko [may nagdududa]. Hindi ko naman kasi maple-please ang lahat kahit anong gawin ko.”
The 20-year-old singer, who is promoting her third album called “Lapit,” in fact revealed that she has a huge crush on a popular guy musician. She, however, declined to identify him.
Currently, Constantino is busy promoting her latest CD, which is co-produced by former Eraserheads' drummer Raymund Marasigan.
Included tracks in Constantino's album are "Wag Kang Magtanong," "Jeepney," "Love Story," "Pag Ayaw Mo Na," "Siguro," "Takas," "Maghintay," "Wag Na," "Akin Ka Na," "Siguro" and "Lapit" as its carrier single.

Abs Cbn Christmas ID 2009 - Bro ikaw ang star ng pasko
CCM head Robert Labayen wrote a song for the five-minute SID, which reflects the “unsinkable” spirit of the Filipinos. The SID song was performed by more than 300 talents pooled together for the project.
Labayen added that the SID encourages the Filipinos to bounce back after the calamities, and reminds the public that “goodness shines the brightest in the darkest hours.”
“And the message comes from the song. We have the stars singing together with the heroes–workers, soldiers, the medics, volunteers, church--from all sectors of society. They come together to rebuild our lives again,” Labayen said.
The SID concept this year is not only simpler compared to previous years, but more “uplifting.”
“Dati kasi, ang gusto natin masaya lang, masayang pasko. It's about our family. Pero this time, it’s about Filipinos,” said Danie Rose Sedilla-Cruz, CCM’s creative account head.
Sedilla-Cruz said the SID also highlights the fact that Christ is the source of light, but all of us are bearers of it.
She said: “Better to light one little candle than to stumble in the dark. Bawat isa sa atin, pagkatapos noong nangyari, nalaman mo sa sarili mo na meron kang magagawa.”

PBB Big Swap Update: Kätlin up for a fiesta-like welcome party
House A heartily welcomed their new housemate, Kätlin, and in line with the welcome party, Big Brother gave them sumptuous Filipino dishes to munch on.
After dinner, they all proceeded to the pool area for a rather cozy luau party where alcoholic drinks were served.
Rob and Marielle ended up getting extremely drunk. With the two intoxicated housemates getting uncontrollable, some House A housemates couldn’t help but feel a little irritated up until they have all gone to bed to call the night off.
Speaking of beds, Cathy comes across with a rather shocking revelation. To her surprise, she discovered that Big Brother Finland only has one huge bed for all the housemates.

“Star for All Seasons” and current Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos is celebrating her 56th birthday today
“Star for All Seasons” and current Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos is celebrating her 56th birthday today, but there will be no grand celebration for her this year.
As early as 8 a.m. Tuesday, Santos has been distributing relief goods to typhoon victims in Batangas, particularly in 3rd district of the province.
This was revealed Tuesday morning by Jojo Lim, over-all president of fans club “Vilma Santos International.”
“Maagang gumising si Ate Vi para mamigay ng mga relief packages sa mga kawawang mamamayan ng 3rd district of Batangas,” said Lim.
“This is her way of celebrating her birthday today,” he added.
Santos, Maria Rosa Vilma Santos-Recto in real life, has been planning a region-wide relief work not only to those affected by the recent typhoons Ondoy, Pepeng, and Santi, but to those who are needy and underprivileged as well.
A couple of months ago, the governor of Batangas gave out computer sets to deserving public elementary schools in the area.
The computers have been donated by her fans abroad, some of whom are married to foreigners.
“Ganyan kaming ‘Vilmanians.’ Kahit na wala na kami sa Pilipinas, basta may maibibigay lang kaming tulong sa mga impoverished kababayans natin lalo na sa Batangas, we will help,” said Lim.
Unlike in the past where Santos had big birthday bash, this year’s celebration is very simple, said Lim, who organized a group of active “Vilmanians” to pull off a surprise asalto to the actress.
According to Lim, Santos’ relief operation in 3rd district is scheduled the whole day, but other towns have been requesting that she also visits them, with or without the relief goods.
“Ang mga Batangueño, kahit makita lang si Vi ngayong araw na ito, okay na, mabati man lang nila ng happy birthday,” volunteered Lim.
After the day’s done, the Rectos will host a private birthday dinner for Santos.
Santos is married to former socioeconomic planning secretary Ralph Recto. They have one son, Ryan Christian. She is also the loving mother of Luis "Lucky" Manzano, her son from her previous relationship with actor-host Edu Manzano.
“Sina Ralph at Christian, ngayon pa lang, naghahanda na para kay Vi,” informed Lim. “Ngayon, bising-busy na sila sa relief drive nila at nagbabahay-bahay na si Vi,” said Jojo.

Actress-singer Jolina Magdangal is dating Rivermaya’s drummer Mark Escueta
Magdangal made this confirmation in an interview during the 1st PMPC Star Awards for Music last week.
"We share the same music," Magdangal told “SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon.” “Hindi ko na [napansin] kung anong araw [naging] kami, anong anniversary. Parang alam mong destiny. Happy, happy kami."
Magdangal confessed that her family approves of Escueta. Her parents even invite him to join them in family gatherings, she added.
"Nakikita nila ‘yong respeto na binibigay sa kanila. And I think lahat ng magulang, 'yon lang ang hinahanap sa partner ng anak nila,” she said.
The 31-year-old singer-actress, however, is not thinking of settling down just yet, saying she’s taking her time.
"Ibang usapan 'yan, pero hindi pa naman. Maaga naman masyado pero hindi naman ako nagko-close ng door sa ganyan (marriage). Hindi na tayo nagpapa-sweet. Ang time ko darating yan at hindi naman tayo nagmamadali," Magdangal said.
