Wealthy clan still loathes controversial star
Seems peace can be achieved in war-torn countries, but not between Controversial Star and High-profile Clan.
CS and HC’s paths crossed because of their beloved relatives. In spite of the common denominator, CS and HC never got along. Until now, they still refuse to bury the hatchet.
It doesn’t help that CS is stubborn as a mule. But HC can be intractable and thoughtless, as well.
Despite a string of trials and tribulations, HC didn’t learn the lesson of humility, CS scoffed. CS complained that members of HC imposed unreasonable guidelines that they would break with impunity.
It’s the Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules.
Painful parting
Loquacious Wheeler-dealer was once extra close to Closeted Hunk. LW knew all of CH’s indiscretions, but kept mum.
These days, LW is no longer as influential as before. CH thought cutting ties with LW would be easy and painless.
LW, however, refused to go down without a fight.
If CH is wondering where all those sordid rumors come from, he need not look further than LW. As they say, there is no worse enemy than a former friend.
Past entanglement
It’s only a matter of time before rabid enemies would find out about Vociferous Celebrity’s deep, dark secret.
Divisive Personality once wooed VC in the not-so-distant past. Is that why VC is not exactly fond of DP’s Bitter Nemesis?
Years ago, Common Friend tried to play matchmaker to VC and DP. The supposed perfect match, however, swiftly went kaput.
VC allegedly wasn’t keen on getting involved with an intrigue magnet like DP and the rest of the family.
Too much info
You must realize that they were complete strangers prior to that project. Hot Hunk had just met Showtown Insider.
From out of the blue, HH started revealing intimate details of his life to stunned SI. HH confided everything—including family secrets that were better left buried in the baul.
Perhaps HH was merely practicing an acting technique? HH wanted to shed inhibitions by baring his soul to a random listener. TMI!
Hopelessly mediocre
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
A reality show discovery, Mediocre Performer has difficulty landing jobs these days.
Production staffers are reluctant to work with MP, who hasn’t improved much in the acting department. MP gets tongue-tied and twisted and cannot act even if the fate of the world depended on it.
MP isn’t capable of memorizing simple lines of dialogue, too. MP constantly causes disruptions and delays on the set because of glaring incompetence.
