Newbie merely pretends to be veteran’s fan
ANNE Curtis courts controversy yet again.
Publicly, Hot Newbie profusely praised Seasoned Star. Sadly, HN is cut in the mold of a double-talking politico, whose public pronouncements are the opposite of private sentiments.
Turned out, HN and SS had a nasty falling out. A spy says serious issues drove a wedge between them.
The mole suspects that SS merely asked for what is fair and just, but HN deemed that unreasonable.
Then again, SS can be a formidable nemesis. So HN’s handlers panicked and worked double-time to vilify SS. And HN swore never to work with SS again.
Unfortunately, HN is now quite powerful in a top studio—limiting SS’ future employment prospects there.
Suspicious
A source finds Noisy Personality’s behavior suspicious. NP recently staged yet another meltdown, but the melodramatic monologue was largely ignored.
Was that mounted to cover up Influential Relative’s boo-boos? And was NP snubbed because there was a more scorching intrigue raging in the industry?
NP whipped up another mess, dragging Respected Veteran into the fray. The gimmick boomeranged.
SARAH Geronimo’s concert attracts a Korean pop star.
NP clinched a few minutes of notoriety, at RV’s expense! Fortunately, RV is not exactly clueless, and should thus know who’s to blame for the fiasco.
Booked!
Sad news went around the industry this week.
Talented Artist was reportedly arrested because of an estafa case that involved millions.
Although TA had chosen to live a simple life far away from the biz, past complications surfaced and resulted in this legal problem.
Will rich and famous friends, including Top Star, come out and support TA?
After all, TA contributed to the careers of not a few major celebs.
TA has always been consistent in helping them. Will they rush to TA’s aid?
Shelved
High-Profile Project was shelved in spite of the fact that it’s top-billed by Popular Star and Perennial Costar.
The suits are tripping all over themselves, coming up with all sorts of flimsy excuses.
A reliable source insists that Penny-Pinching Boss considered the project too expensive.
The talent fees, for PS and PC alone, would have eaten up a hefty slice of the pie—especially if it’s true that PC had asked for a big raise.
We’re told that PC does this whenever paired with PS.
HERBERT Bautista experiences a scorned woman’s wrath.
Banned
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera.
The management of a certain hotel banned Grizzled Hunk from the premises.
GH is no rock star, but he and several rowdy pals trashed a room they booked for a bachelor party.
A mole reports that the gang made a mess in the toilet, and threw human waste on the walls, drapes and floor.
Major ewww.
