Derek Ramsay said the "f" word. No, it's not what you're thinking silly. Less than a week after he admitted his relationship with Cristine Reyes, the actor has one word to describe his new found love - "f" for forever.
 
While it’s too early to tell whether the celebrity couple's relationship will lead to marriage, the 36-year-old actor and Cristine who is 12 years younger are obviously very much in love.
 
Over the weekend, Derek posted a photo which will make girls green with envy. 
Jasmine arrives with only a little makeup on her face. "I prefer to have minimal makeup because my skin complexion is pretty okay. I don’t need to apply a lot of foundation. It would just make my skin breakout. I want to maintain that youthful glow—and as much as possible I want to stick to mineral makeup," the young actress explains.

Jasmine Curtis-Smith’s default answer about the status of her relationship with Sam Concepcion has always been “Ask Sam.”
 
But the guessing game continues as Sam himself gives vague answers to the same question.

What’s holding her back from putting a label into their “thing”?

The OMG! Breakthrough Actress of the Year nominee said, “We're not putting labels or hiding anything from anyone. It's really whatever's there, whatever people see.”

She added that any announcement should come from the guy, not from her.

But Jasmine is sure about one thing.



Like Sam Pinto, Anne Curtis, Andi Eigenmann, we ladies love revealing our legs, but how can we best show off the gams we've got? Check out these tips!
If you have a longer torso and shorter legs
DON'T: Dress in longer, drop-waisted skirts or dresses—they'll only make legs look shorter. Bermuda shorts are another no-no, as are any heel with an ankle strap, which tends to visually cut the leg off. 
DO: Opt for a nude or tan colored shoe that will help lengthen. Colorful, vibrant tops are also your friend. They draw visual interest up to the top half of your body. High-waisted pants or skirts are great ways to lengthen your bottom half. And don't be afraid of the tuck!

When showbiz couples break up, they're no different from you and me—except for the fact that the public gets to know all the dirty details of their relationship. That's exactly what happened to Sunshine Cruz and Cesar Montano.
