Alluring starlet and pretty boy are secret sweethearts
COCO Martin’s loyal fans defend him from online bashers.
Familiarity breeds contempt; sometimes, also romance. Working together almost daily, Alluring Starlet and Cute Heartthrob soon fell in love.
The bosses ordered the young ones to keep their budding affair secret because the fans of CH’s Estranged Partner can be very possessive.
But the sweethearts couldn’t stay in hiding for long. At a recent high-profile event, they were spotted with other VIPs. But CH’s relatives were also around to throw off inquisitive rumor-mongers.
Seems AS has clinched the approval of CH’s clan. Ah, to be young and in love.
SARAH Lahbati returns to the Kapuso network.
Popular Star is on the warpath again. Again. PS was disappointed that Studio Insiders had leaked to the press a potentially damaging piece of intrigue.
PS’ random remark about Rival Beauty was blown out of proportion. Unfortunately, the source of the controversy is inside PS’ camp.
Naturally, PS and her team didn’t take things sitting down. Even so, the culprits didn’t show the slightest remorse.
Will the big bosses step in? Will heads roll? How exciting!
Bad neighbor
There goes the neighborhood.
KATHRYN Bernardo won’t kiss her leading men.
Influential Personality got peeved when a ragtag crew started shooting right next door. IP raised hell and complained to the authorities, demanding that the struggling production be halted.
Being vigilantly guarded is a natural defense mechanism for IP, who has skeletons in the closet. Turns out, IP’s home is also a love nest, where handsome hunks pay nocturnal visits.
Close encounters
From the Inquirer Radio program “Inquirer Entertainment” (dzIQ 990 AM, Monday to Friday, 3 to 5 p.m.):
Although they parted ways long ago, Sexy Starlet and Hunky Beau have remained friends. Too chummy, really.
During an out-of-town gig, a production staffer was shocked to find SS in the dressing room, seated on HB’s lap.
The ex-lovers were also spotted being very touchy-feely while sightseeing.
Perhaps they thought no one would recognize them. Alas, Filipinos are everywhere; a group caught the two in very public displays of affection. Busted!
CRISTINE Reyes can’t let go of old flame.
Promotion for a pro
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Remember Seasoned Celeb who’s in dire straits? To make both ends meet, SC has resorted to the oldest profession.
But SC is too mature to be a flesh peddler! Well, SC has moved up and now functions as procurer.
The consummate pro, SC just got promoted.
Reconciled!
After months of furious enmity, actress Sarah Lahbati and GMA 7 executive Annette Gozon-Abrogar have reconciled.
Abrogar told Rushes on Friday: “I saw that she was sincerely sorry. And she was humble enough to admit her mistake and apologize in public. Because of that, I will withdraw my libel case against her. As for her complaints against me, all four had been dismissed prior to this.”
YAEL Yuzon incurred the ire of some gays.
Lahbati remains a Kapuso talent, said Abrogar. “The Artist Center, through (exec) Gigi Lara, has been discussing plans with her.”
Like, did all that really happen?
Reunited
Speaking of bizarre reunions: Anne Curtis and John Lloyd have a new TV commercial.
So what was all the fuss about that notorious juice-diet-enduced rampage?
All that huffing and puffing (and delirious denials) were just leading to this?
Hmmmp!
Top of Bandera
Top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera (and why we are moved, if we are moved):
Baliw lang ang nagsabing walang “K” maging National Artist si Nora Aunor! (Sino ang tunay na baliw?)
Deniece Cornejo rape case nakakabaliw na. (Ah.)
Vice Ganda sumugod sa korte para maging saksi sa kaso ni Vhong Navarro. (Why are we not surprised naman?)
KYLIE Padilla had a health scare.
Para lang mabura ang galit ng publiko sa pagkampi kay Cedric Lee, Raymund Fortun pumayag “mabalahura” sa “Gandang Gabi Vice.” Nagmukhang katawa-tawa. (Truly, life is the sum of one’s choices.)
Kathryn Bernardo bawal pang makipaghalikan sa TV at pelikula; Daniel Padilla: Sana ako ang first kiss niya! Kung hindi, bad trip ’yun! (Pressure.)
Kontrabida sa Daniel-Kathryn loveteam isinumpa ng mga fans: Mamatay ka na! (Those fans should get a life, not try to take one.)
Dyowa ni Karylle halos isumpa ng mga beki. Yael Yuzon, may pangit na karanasan sa mga bakla kaya nabwisit kay Vice? (And we should really care because … ?)
Coco Martin kinakawawa sa social media, ipinagtanggol ng fans. (Ho-hum.)
Tapos na ang dedmahan, Gerald Anderson nabunutan ng tinik; Sarah Geronimo, Maja Salvador nagkabati sa “ASAP,” nagyakapan pa sa likuran ni Kim Chiu. (Ang haba ng hair ni Gerald!)
Sey ni Kris Aquino … Bimby kailangan din ng tatay!” (At last.)
Tumitindi pa ang “silent war” ng dating mag-friendship; Kris nakipag-ayos kay James Yap para makaganti kay Ai-Ai de las Alas. (Meron na ba uling “Pilipinas Got Talent”? Only reason we can think of, for this spat.)
Pagkatapos ma-confine sa ospital dahil sa migraine, Kylie Padilla: “Napraning ako, baka may tumor ako sa utak!” (Better hysterical than sorry.)
Kylie bawal tumodo sa halikan; Robin Padilla, Aljur Abrenica nagkaayos uli. (Onscreen.)
Cristine Reyes umamin na: Hanggang ngayon nasa puso ko pa rin si Rayver Cruz! (Uh-oh. New project coming up?)
