Just a little past midnight on Sunday, Megastar Sharon Cuneta took to Twitter and fired up a series of tweets in apparent reaction to a blind item posted in a website she did not identify.
Aware of Twitter’s 140-character limit, the host of TV5’s daytime afternoon talk show, “Sharon: Kasama Mo, Kapatid” posted her reaction in 18 consecutive tweets, as follows:

“Nothing can ruin my happiness with my family and friends and fans, sorry! Goodnight again for the nth time, dear tweeties! Luv…
“…you all and God bless us all!! Mwah!:-).”
Based on the reactions to her tweets, it was later learned that the megastar was actually reacting to an article posted in the lifestyle and entertainment blog site, Fashionpulis.com, which according to its Facebook page is maintained by a certain Michael Lim.
Lim, who presumably wrote the article and referred to Sharon as “controversial host” or “CH” posted, “After a month of airing, the show has apparently not improved its ratings. Hence, management sent a memo instructing the production to plan the remaining episodes, including the finale. Apparently, the replacement show is already being planned. Now, people are awaiting for CH’s reaction regarding this news.”
As tweeted, Sharon insists that there is no truth to what the article claims as well as for all blind items posted by the site in the past.
In her succeeding tweets, she also qualified that she is not really mad or upset about the matter.
“Hep hep hep! Remember — di ako galit. Di ko sya tinweet. Di ako nakikipag-away. Di ako “pumapatol” at natuto na ako!” she qualified.
“Parang interview kasi artista ka – pag tinanong ka, lilinawin mo ang isyu. Yun lang naman po!” she added.
