KRIS AND JAMES BACK IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS, BUT...
[PHOTO - Kris Aquino and James Yap: Better off as friends]
MANILA, DECEMBER 9, 2010 (STAR) FUNFARE UPDATE By Ricardo F. Lo - Yes, Kris Aquino and her estranged husband James Yap are lovey-dovey again, but it's only for a scene in Dalaw, Kris' latest movie (for the 2010 Metro Filmfest) which she's co-producing with Star Cinema.
James is acting as the double of Diether Ocampo who couldn't make it to the shoot because he flew in late from Australia last night.
It was easy to convince James to do the scene, according to Kris.
"It's because we're okay already," explained Kris. "We are both resigned to the fact that our marriage didn't work. We're better off as friends, mas nagkakaintindihan kami. James accepted the offer right away. Sabi ko, 'Tanggapin mo para mapadali ang annulment natin.' Besides, I told him, 'Malaki ang investment ko sa project kaya kailangan ako makabawi'."
According to earlier reports, Kris and James would be doing a love scene, with James naked from the waist up, shot from the back. Kris was being teased that she and James might continue the scene long after the shoot was done.
Laughing, Kris said, "I won't say what that love scene is. Basta, surprise!"
James was expected to report to the set after an afternoon game. Their sons Joshua and Baby James were expected to watch the shoot.
Incidentally, Kris has nipped in the bud the "weird" report about her and Ted Failon, a widower. It started when Ted interviewed Kris on TV Patrol the other day about her case with James. As a side comment, Kris plugged Dalaw and invited Ted to the premiere and perhaps sit beside her and her Kuya Noy, reminding Ted about a possible dinner date, and adding, "Malay mo, baka maging brother-in-law mo siya."
Still laughing after the gossip-hungry public on a fun ride, Kris texted Funfare, "Mahal ko ang mga Waray. My top three are you (That's me! Hehehe! — RFL), Boy (Abunda) and Ted."
