Stage parent fuels perky starlet’s illusions
Coworkers are whispering about Lovely Maiden’s antics.
There have been countless complaints about LM’s rude behavior on the set. Seems LM is imitating Enchanting Gal who is notorious for being a prima donna.
Turns out, LM’s biggest enabler is Malevolent Kin. MK encourages LM to be aloof and arrogant. MK has been feeding LM with all sorts of lies that foster “delusions of grandeur.” That LM is the most beautiful, talented and popular star among her batch of wannabes.
Thing is, LM’s projects have flopped one after the other. File under KM: For Karma Martin.
Price surge
Speaking of delusional stars.
Cantankerous Artiste must be under the impression that the world still revolves around her. Industry Insiders approached CA for a certain exclusive venture.
CA hemmed and hawed—to sweeten the deal, so to speak.
CA quoted an exorbitant fee for the gig. Shocked, IIs withdrew the offer. CA was forced to make do with IIs’ rival.
Russian roulette
The rumor mill is going on hyperdrive. After the controversial raid on a sex party involving gays and closeted men, all sorts of rumors have been circulating in the biz.
Among those arrested was a hunk who moonlights as a bit player in R-rated movies.
Now, there is talk that Cute Jock is among the participants in those high-risk orgies. Thing is, a recent report claimed that unsafe sex is practiced in these for-men-only “bacchanalia.”
Is CJ playing with fire? Well, CJ is also notorious for abusing illicit substances.
Cyberboycott
Controlling Charmers wanted to maintain a particular event’s “exclusivity.” CCs considered instructing friends not to tweet about the affair, which was supposed to be the turf of Showbiz Titan.
Alas, the revelers, including CCs’ own staffers, couldn’t resist posting away on all social media platforms.
After a while, the CCs just gave up and it became a free-for-all. But then again, CCs’ employees mysteriously disappeared from cyberspace in the next few days.
Past imperfect
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Well-meaning Friends have advised Ravishing Coquette to reveal her checkered past to Current Beau. WFs are worried that CB would go ballistic if he learned about RC’s sideline as a “lady of the night.”
They claim honesty is the best policy. Also, RC’s Chatty Agent might inadvertently spill the beans and that would surely make CB furious.
Afraid-y Krueger.
