ABS-CBN “It’s Showtime” host Anne Curtis gets the shock of her life during her 34th “birthday salubong,” as British-Albanian pop singer-songwriter Dua Lipa sends her a video shoutout.
In the video, which Anne received last Saturday, February 16 during the noontime variety show, Dua tells the Kapamilya star, “Hey, Anne Curtis. I’m Dua Lipa. Looking forward to see you very soon.” Anne then shares the video on her own social media, captioned, “Real Fantasy. I won’t stay quiet! I won’t stay quiet! Guaranteed you totally blew my mind, Dua Lipa and I am dying to see you perform again real soon! I have no words. My fangirl heart is so happy. Never in my wildest dreams.” She then thanks the companies behind the video, including Warner Music Philippines, Warner Brothers Records, and It’s Showtime “for the beautiful birthday video presentation.” Anne’s fellow celebrity friends shared their excitement for her in the comments section, like Karen Davila, Kim Chiu, Maja Salvador, Yeng Constantino, and sister Jasmine Curtis-Smith.
Dua Lipa is known for hits “IDGAF” and “New Rules,” winning Best New Artist during the recent Grammy Awards ceremony. The 23-year-old performer first visited the Philippines last September 2018, where she held a concert at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena, which Anne attended.
A day after her birthday celebration on It’s Showtime, Anne throws a more intimate fitness-themed party for her family and friends at her home for brunch and a mini sports festival. Among her attendees that broke a sweat to the workouts of fitness Coach Arnold Aninion include: Rajo Laurel, Nix Alanon, Eric Dee Jr., Bea Soriano, Liz Uy, Nico Bolzico, Georgina Wilson, and CJ Javarata. Their hearty brunch was provided by Anne’s husband chef Erwan Heussaff, as well as Wildflour Cafe + Bakery’s Chef de Cuisine Allen Buhay. Georgina, on the other hand, baked a homemade cheesecake for the celebration.
