Kris Aquino avoids Mayor Junjun Binay, gets closer with Diether Ocampo

Kris Aquino puts special friendship with Makati City Mayor Junjun Binay "on hold" after the latter was quoted saying things which didn't sound good to the Queen of All Media.

In a Philippine Star article last Sunday (July 17) headlined "To wed or not to wed: Hayden & Vicki, Junjun & Kris", Mayor Junjun revealed that he and Kris Aquino once dated, and that was during Justin Bieber's concert in the country just last May. “Yes, we are good friends. We saw the Justin Bieber concert together, and by gosh, when you’re with Kris, everybody wants to have a picture with her.”

And when asked if another marriage is possible for Junjun, who was widowed in August 2009, here's what he said: “Why do people marry? Because of lack of knowledge...Why do people separate? Because of lack of experience...Why do people remarry? Because of loss of memory.”

Kris expressed in a recent TV interview that she was disappointed to hear Mayor Junjun's statement, especially his answer on "why do people separate" which Kris thought was a "patama" to her.

Mayor Junjun, who just turned 34 last July 12, already apologized to Kris, but the 40-year-old Presidential Sister has decided to avoid Mayor Junjun Binay to avoid further intrigues.

Is Kris just getting extra sensitive?

While she decides to avoid Mayor Junjun, Kris is now getting closer to another special friend, hunk actor Diether Ocampo whom she calls as "D".

On Twitter yesterday, Kris posted a birthday greeting to Diether whom she considers as TRUE friend (not like Mayor Junjun?) and she's hoping to establish a lifelong friendship with him.

Diether Ocampo turned 35 yesterday, July 19, and he has been linked to Kris Aquino since they started filming the MMFF 2010 entry "Dalaw".

Kris reportedly gave Diether a very expensive watch worth 5-million pesos as birthday gift, but the actor has denied that during his birthday presscon.

Kris Aquino & Junjun Binay, James Yap & Grace Lee - New Couples?

After a month of moving apart, Kris Aquino and James Yap are already being romantically linked to other people.

Kris is currently being linked to Sen. Chiz Escudero and Makati Mayor Junjun Binay while James is rumored dating "Diz Iz It" host Grace Lee.

In her interview with Boy Abunda for SNN Confessions, Kris denied any romantic involvement with Sen. Chiz. She said that she was just joking to Chiz of a possible 2016 Elections tandem for them, Chizzy Krissy, as
President and Vice President candidates, but nothing more than that.

As for Junjun Binay, Kris only met him during her mother's wake last
year and also when Junjun's wife died the same year.

But Kris considers Junjun as his ideal man. "He's smart, responsable,
mapagkakatiwalaan and alam kong hindi ako lolokohin," she said.

It seems Kris likes Junjun, who's the son of VP Jejomar Binay, and maybe in the future, they'll end up together.

In fact, Kris revealed that if ever Junjun will ask her out for dinner, she'd gladly say YES. But not now.

James Yap meanwhile is reportedly dating TV host Grace Lee. I've read about it before on People's Journal.

And Grace denied the rumor while James denied Grace by asking who she is.
