  "If ever makita ko siya sa corridor, e, I will say 'Hi'. Wala namang rason para mag-iwasan kami, e, dahil hindi naman kami magkakilala kasi BB Gandanghari na siya, di ba?" says Carmina Villarroel about her former husband, Rustom Padilla, a.k.a. BB Gandanghari.

Actress and Showbiz Central guest host Carmina Villarroel was comfortable in the hot seat of the show's "Behind the Wall" segment yesterday, June 13. The mother of twins faced some juicy questions from unidentified "Special Informants" and gave equally juicy answers as well.

The upbeat Carmina looked excited as she listened to the monotone greetings of the informants.

"Oh, my God, sino kaaaa?!" she asked, thrilled, on hearing their  greetings.

BB GANDANGHARI. Laughter met the first informant's question.

"Carmina sa totoo lang, para sa iyo, sino ang mas maganda, si BB Gandanghari o ikaw?" BB Gandanghari, as most people know, is the new name and persona of Rustom Padilla, Carmina's ex-husband.

After the guffaws died down, she answered, "Siyempre, sasabihin ko na ako, di ba? Actually, tinatanong niya kung sino ang mas maganda. So, siyempre, sasabihin ko na ako kasi mahal ko ang sarili ko. Maganda din siya, pero basta ako, ang sagot ko, 'yon na!"

Rumor has it that BB is copying Carmina's style when it comes to clothes and makeup. What can she say about this?

"Iba ang look niya at look ko sa pananamit, ha!" she said. "Siguro kaya lang nila nasasabi, is because maputi siya at ako, tapos girl siya...at girl din ako..."

"Speakingof BB, kailan kayo huling nag-usap at nagkita na ba kayo?" asked the second informant.

"Hindi pa kami nagmi-meet at nagkikita ever," Carmina answered.

Is she open to meeting up with BB?

"Hindi naman ako gagawa ng paraan para manawagan at magkakilala kami," exclaimed Carmina. "If ever makita ko siya sa corridor, e, I will say 'Hi'. Wala namang rason para magiwasan kami, e, dahil hindi naman kami magkakilala kasi BB Gandanghari na siya, di ba?"

Will it bother her if ever BB meets Carmina's family?

"'Anak, this is tita BB Gandanghari!'" said Carmina. "Like I said, hindi ko kasi pinaplano ang mga ganyan, e. Pag nangyari ang ganoon at hindi naman ako bastos, e, ipapakilala ko siya sa kids ko at sa family ko."

ZOREN & RUFFA. The third question concentrated on her husband Zoren Legaspi.
