With a hot body like that, it’s no wonder that Valerie Concepcion is being courted once again by her ex-boyfriend, PBA player Dondon Hontiveros.

In an interview by PUSH.ph, Valerie revealed that the PBA player is trying to win her back.

Valerie and Dondon, by the way, have been together for more than 3 years before the former decided to take a break from him late last year and live a single life. She’d known him since she was 18 years old.

“…Actually in the two months na naghiwalay kami he was really parang like pinupuntahan niya ako tapos sinusundan niya ako kung nasaan ako.”

“Kaya ngayon nag-agree ako into dating him again because he’s really very persistent talaga. Siguro a week niya akong hinayaan and then after that sobra na niya akong kinulit and parang sinasabi ko sa kanya, ‘Alam mo huwag na nga muna tayo mag-usap, sa Feb na tayo mag-usap,’ parang ganun.”

“Pero ang tanong niya if I really did need the space. Sabi ko kasi hindi ko alam. Parang hindi ko naman nakuha yung space na hinihingi ko, parang ganun din. We’re okay now so I guess it was just a phase,” said the 24-year-old actress.

Valerie also revealed that she wants to date other people that’s why she broke up with Hontiveros.

“Actually what I wanted sana was to date other people also but he doesn’t want to. So ako parang hindi ko na alam. Wala pa rin naman akong ibang natitipuhan or nakikita so okay lang hindi ko pa pinaglalaban (laughs).”

“Kailan darating yung panahon na yun? Naku sa pagiging persistent nito baka hindi na dumating yung panahon na yun (laughs). Hindi ko alam. I actually want to open my doors to other guys, but sa ngayon wala pang dumarating eh so I’ll just cross the bridge when I get there if may maglakas ng loob,” she said.

Valerie is one of the stars of ABS-CBN’s latest teleserye “E-Boy” topbilled by newest Kapamilya child wonder Bugoy Cariño. “E-Boy” airs weeknights after TV Patrol.

Mangiyak-ngiyak si Valerie Concepcion noong matapos siyang makatanggap ng isang umaatikabong birthday surprise mula sa kanyang mga kasamahan sa hit na hit na Pilipinas Win Na Win (PWNW).

Noong una, akala ng magandang noontime show host ay magpe-perform lang siya para sa kanyang birthday special sa PWNW. Bigay-todo si Valerie sa pagkanta ng You Belong With Me na pinasikat ni Taylor Swift at lubos naman siyang pinalakpakan ng audience

Pagkatapos ang kanyang pinaka-aabangang birthday performance, isang anunsiyo ang ibinigay ng kanyang co-hosts na sina Pokwang at K Brosas. Iyon ang sorpresang awitin ng Hitmakers para lamang sa birthday girl na si Valerie.

Simpatikong inawit ni Marco Sison ang “She” para kay Valerie, sabay abot ng rosas at regalo nitong stuff toy sa magandang host. Chocolates naman ang handog ni Rey Valera sa co-host na inawitan niya pa ng “She’s always a woman to me.” Kinanta naman ni Nonoy Zuñiga ang “Pure imagination” habang iniaabot ang handog niyang libro sa dalagang mahilig magbasa.

Makabagbag-damdamin naman ang naging mensahe Rico J Puno kay Valerie. Ani ng Hitmaker “walang iwanan” at mananatili silang magkaibigan. Nakakatawang “My Way” ang inawit ni Rico J kay Valerie, sabay abot sa bolang pang-basketball na regalo nito.

Matapos ang kakaibang sorpresa, buong-pusong nagpasalamat si Valerie sa mga tapat at totoong kaibigan na nakilala niya s PWNW. Nangigilid ang luha niya nang siya ay magbigay ng pahayag.

Diba nga’t milyun-milyong tuwa ang hatid ng Pilipinas Win na Win ngayon at magpakailanman kaya’t tutok na’t makisaya dahil ikaw ang bida dito Lunes hanggang Sabado, pagkatapos ng Showtime sa ABS-CBN.

Last year, we gave you the 8 Hottest Stars of 2008. Now, Starmometer presents the “9 Surprise Hits of 2009.”

Actually we have a shortlist of 14 celebrities/shows that were surprise hits in the local entertainment industry this year but we picked those who impacted the world of showbiz (and politics) the most and trimmed them down to 9.

In no particular order, here’s our 9 SURPRISE HITS OF 2009:

ZAIJAN JARANILLA – This new child actor surprised everyone after his teleserye May Bukas Pa became the no. 1 tv program of 2009. Zaijan has a lot of promise that’s why he keeps on receiving awards left and right. Salamat kay Bro of course who gave him the talent and use it for God’s glory!

EUGENE DOMINGO – The ever-talented comedienne Eugene “Uge” Domingo was launched this year on her first starring role in a comedy film under newbie producers which include the ultimate heartthrob Piolo Pascual. Her film, Kimmy Dora, was a box-office hit giving Eugene the tag as “the next comedy queen.”

MARICAR REYES – This model-turned-actress became a household name after the Hayden Kho sex video scandal exploded earlier this year. The setback did not hinder Maricar and it even became a stepping stone for her career as she has now appeared on various teleserye on ABS-CBN. Her performances in Maalaala Mo Kaya, Lovers in Paris, Your Song and Precious Hearts Romances made the critics noticed her acting prowess.

TALENTADONG PINOY – Who would have thought that this talent competition on TV5 trumped its rivals from the two giant networks? It even started the “talent” show craze making both GMA and ABS-CBN come up with their own similar programs. Until now, Talentadong Pinoy is topping the Mega Manila TV ratings and their claim as the no. 1 talent show ng bayan is unquestionable. Kudos to its award-winning host Ryan Agoncillo!

VALERIE CONCEPCION – Who would have thought that one of the most irritating hosts on television could win the PMPC Best Female TV Host for two years in a row! Siguro kanya kanyang taste lang yan. Pardon my term but i find her hosting unpleasant to the ears and i kinda prefer Toni Gonzaga or Pia Guanio to win this award but hey, the judges saw something in her so there’s nothing we can do but to congratulate her. I think it’s her “mass appeal” that worked for her.

NOYNOY AQUINO – From out of nowhere, Noynoy is now the front-runner among the presidentiables come 2010 elections. Thanks to his ever-vigilant sister, Kris Aquino, who manages his candidacy to be the next President of the Republic. But of course, we should not forget that Noynoy’s biggest asset why the public loves him is his squeaky clean image as he hasn’t been linked to any graft and corruption rumors whatsoever.

CARLA ABELLANA – One of the biggest surprise of the year is this daughter of veteran actor Rey PJ Abellana. Catapulted to fame by landing the lead role in GMA’s Rosalinda, Carla has also landed several endorsement deals and she’s only starting in showbiz!

ERICH GONZALES – Erich was launched in her very first teleserye “Katorse.” The premiere of the series was delayed in months that’s why some of the cast became skeptical if the show will run or get shelved. Surprisingly, ABS-CBN put the show on primetime rather than daytime block and it’s a hit nationwide! This notable achievement makes Erich in the running for the kapamilya network’s drama princess!

CRISTINE REYES – Everyone was expecting Angel Locsin to top FHM’s Sexiest Women in the World for 2009 because the “Lobo” star has the biggest and most active fanbase that could dominate the poll. In the end, Angel ended up in third place, Marian Rivera in second and Cristine Reyes as the Sexiest Woman of 2009. We have no complaints as Cristine is very very sexy indeed!

9 Surprise Hits of 2009 originally appeared on Starmometer on December 18, 2009.

Valerie is supposed to star in her first tv series on ABS-CBN entitled “Pat is Thin” but putting on the fat suit which she is required to wear takes three hours and it will conflict with her daily hosting stint in Wowowee that’s why she turned it down.

Valerie will play the role of Tin, whose body will be used by the soul of Pat after a tragic accident. Rez Cortez’s daughter, Cai Cortez, will play the role of Pat.

Valerie is thankful at the same time challenged with the new soap given to her by ABS-CBN. She’s giving her 100% to keep up with the character specially that she needs to imitate the character of Pat, the way she talks and walks, etc.

This is also the reason why Valerie is working out to lose more weight. She doesn’t want to disappoint the management and the televiewers because this is her first starring role in a teleserye since she transferred to the kapamilya network.
