Eugene Domingo on Toni Gonzaga: "Tupperware"

Comedienne Eugene Domingo indirectly called multimedia star Toni Gonzaga as "plastic" after Toni mistakenly called her as Eugene Dominguez on her The Buzz guesting Sunday, July 14.

The Buzz host Toni Gonzaga interviewed Eugene, who is promoting her upcoming movie Tuhog under Skylight Films, the independent film arm of Star Cinema. While mentioning the names of the cast, Toni had blundered on Eugene's surname.

Toni blushed in embarrassment after the incident which forced Eugene to throw jokes about the matter. She got back on Toni by changing her surname to Gonzales. The latter even stood up and showed Toni how large her name was written on the monitor and other promotional posters in the studio.

In defense Toni said that she just inadvertently mixed-up Eugene's surname with that of co-star Leo Martinez, the reason her mouth blurted Eugene Dominguez. 

Meanwhile, Eugene, kidding aside, said that Toni Gonzaga endorsing "Tupperware" is just perfect, since she was claiming as Eugene's friend yet she doesn't know the latter's surname. 

Knowing Eugene as a comedienne, the comment was made to save Toni from further embarrassment and lighten up the situation. She even clarified to all that her name is "Eugene Domingo" before the show went to a gap. Watch the video below.

Eugene Domingo and Toni Gonzaga became close on the set of Wedding Tayo, Wedding Hindi, a 2011 Star Cinema movie which also stars Zanjoe Marudo and Wendell Ramos.
