's message, "" Lani: I Hate Myself For Loving You"" on 13:48:02 04/06/02 Sat
Hey, Regine fans doesnt she fit this name. What she's been doing to get an overnight stardom is likened to a HITCHHIKERS GAME. Just hitchhiking to a onced popular name in showbiz. Remember the Lani-Zsazsa mishap about the "Love Concert in Araneta". As far as I know the camp of Lani had alot of talkin about sapawan onstage but not heard about Zsazsa talkin about this herself.

Hey, Sza-zsa daughter is also managed by Lani's manager. That could be why she even got on the show.
hehe..
I think i see a pattern again.
Remember how they asked Regine to join her concert.
And lately trying to force Regine to do another one?
hmm..
