Recently, a steamy video clip of the former bold star circulated through cell phones. It showed an intoxicated Osang having her breasts licked by a teenage boy while both were downing tequilas at some wild event that looked more like a bacchanal.

At first Osang denied it was she on the video but, because there had been a number of witnesses who all took shots of the incident on their cell phones, the former actress was forced to own up to notoriety.

What even jaded show business found disgusting about the incident was a report that while the spectacle was unfolding, Rosanna’s kids, Grace and Onyok, were around to witness the entire shocking scenario.

Rosanna’s kids refuse to attend schools. Grace, 16, is an unwed mother of Jolo Revilla’s baby who lately has been the object of a tug of war between Rosanna and Jolo’s parents, Sen. Bong Revilla and Lani Mercado.

Onyok is only 15 but already a heavy smoker and utterly disrespectful, as is Grace, of Rosanna, say the media.

Lately, Rosanna is being linked with hard hitting journalist Mon Tulfo. Although it looks like they’re carrying on a very public relationship, Mon has denied any connection besides friendship with Rosanna.

‘Vietnam Rose’ fails to bloom

According to reports, Maricel Soriano’s much-awaited drama series, “Vietnam Rose,” is not blooming as anticipated by constant gardener, ABS-CBN.

The big budgeted show whose exteriors were shot in Ho Chi Minh City itself, is not rating as well as rival GMA-7’s “Darna” in its prime time slot.

Much was riding on Maricel’s reputation as a crowd drawer in “Vietnam Rose,” her first foray into soaps but, apparently, televiewers have more empathy these days towards heroines with superpowers than flesh and blood characters.

Critics say “Vietnam Rose” is terribly dated. It takes place in Saigon during the waning days of the Vietnam War of which many of today’s televiewers have no recollection nor even an idea.

Further alienating televiewers is the fact that Maricel’s character is Vietnamese, who as a child of 7 is separated from her parents and finds herself with other refugees on a boat bound for a refugee camp in the Philippines. She is then adopted by a Filipino family and grows up to be a rich and highly accomplished woman.

To be fair, the series is well crafted and intelligently thought out by director Joel Lamangan. It is just wrong for the times, critics say

The series co-stars John Estrada, Ricky Davao, Assunta de Rossi, Angelica Panganiban and a host of new talents.

Incidentally, is ABS-CBN aware of the dubious connotation of “Vietnam Rose?” Back in the 60s, many recall, it was the name of a sexually transmitted disease prevalent during the decade.

Miss Int’l headed for showbiz

Handlers of new Miss International Precious Lara Quigaman, admit she’s headed for show business exactly one year after her reign.

Before Precious left to compete in Japan she and her mother sought Sen. Lito Lapid at his Senate office to say she was available for film roles. It so happened that the senator has a project in the works, “Probinsiyano.” He offered her the role of his leading lady.

Of course, at the time either Precious nor Sen. Lito had any idea she would win the Miss International title. Both felt so tentative in fact that the subject of talent fee was not even discussed.

Today, however, neither thinks Precious would be able to do the movie unless Sen. Lito is willing to wait a full year when Precious finishes her full year Miss International contract. But Lito can’t afford to put “Probinsiyano” on hold so another leading lady will have to step in.
