Jericho to court Karylle?

The Buzz Host Kris Aquino blurted out to her co-hosts on the show, Ruffa Gutierrez and Boy Abunda, yesterday (December 28) that actor Jericho Rosales has asked an ABS-CBN executive if he could court new Kapamilya star, Karylle. Rumor has it that the actor got the female singer's number and that he was ecstatic about this. "Deo (Endrinal) was with me (last) December 23," Kris related. "Kinuwento ni Deo nag-ask ng permission daw sa kanya si Echo (saying), 'Tito Deo liligawan ko ah, si Karylle.'" Endrinal is the person-in-charge of the shows that Karylle will be doing with the Kapamilya network, such as the upcoming series Maruja.

Boy and Kris then explained to the viewers that Echo was being courteous to the business head for asking permission from him. Ruffa, on the other hand, added that she talked to Genesis Entertainment’s Angeli Pangilinan, who is currently managing Jericho’s career. Karylle was also a former talent of theirs. Angeli somehow confirmed that Echo indeed has his eye on ZsaZsa Padilla’s daughter.“Although type na type ni Echo si Karylle, hindi pa sila nagfo-formal date sa labas and they just see each other during working hours. But si Echo is still single and likes so many girls daw," Ruffa shared.

Meanwhile, Karylle denied that the actor is already courting her. "Dati ko pa siyang kakilala, hindi naman (siya nanliligaw). Hindi totoo 'yon. Right now, I'm just really focusing on my work. Parang iniisip ko ang boyfriend ko ngayon ang trabaho ko," the singer-actress explained.

Jericho, on the other hand, confirmed Karylle's claim that they have known each other a long time ago. "I got her number a long time ago, because we have the same manager before. We're all close, magkakasama kami," he said. Echo added that he admits to texting Karylle once in a while.
