Rushes: Teen stars make insider insecure
Seems Feisty Insider is far more aggressive than Perky Ingénue, a close relative. PI doesn’t mind sharing space with Pretty Newcomer and Hunky Partner. But FI goes ballistic when PI is lumped with PN and HP in the same waiting area.
In FI’s mind, PI is a way bigger star than PN, HP and other contemporaries. FI may not be mistaken, but that doesn’t warrant dreadful behavior.
FI often badmouths PN and HP in front of colleagues. Is FI threatened by their booming careers? After all, PN and HP is likely to overtake PI if she lets her guard down. Competition rears its ugly head once again.
Inexplicable fame
Insiders wonder why Handsome Heartthrob is getting all the big breaks. HH is not really that talented and can only be described as mediocre on a good day.
Nonetheless, HH is the current favorite in the studio and is swamped with all sorts of high-profile projects. What gives?
According to the grapevine, HH knows the secret of several Influential Insiders who broke the law in the past.
So that HH would hush up, IIs promised fame and fortune. You know.
Antsy much?
No wonder Alluring Starlet is not fond of Lovely Coworker.
Whenever they had a chance, LC would fool around with Major Celeb, who is now AS’ beau.
Those trysts happened long before AS’ time. Still, AS can’t bring herself to trust MC when LC is around. Is this why LC can’t work with MC?
Unless, of course, the contract says AS may keep vigil on the set, to guard MC.
Nasty drunk
This item comes straight from Hollywood:
Beloved Hotshot can be a mean drunk. Beset with a string of career missteps and box-office bombs, BH drank like a fish to forget his woes.
Which meant Gorgeous Sweetheart had to live with BH’s nasty side, 24-7.
GS soon threw in the towel. Spin doctors tried to put the blame on GS, who retaliated by blabbing about BH’s Jekyll-and-Hyde personality. It was a matter of self-preservation.
Downgrade
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Seasoned Thespian was all set to move to Major Studio, where Loyal Supporter was haggling for a good deal.
Alas, MS’ offer was way lower than ST’s previous talent fee in Old Company.
Unfortunately, LS got sidelined and had to drop out from stressful negotiations with the penny-pinching execs.
The deal went pfft. ST decided to focus on prestige projects instead of joining MS.
