Jobless celeb knocks on pals’ doors
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Boisterous Celebrity is raring to appear in a big project again. Unfortunately, the well of prospects has dried up in the last few years.
There is no end in sight for this lingering drought, though.
True to form, aggressive BC took charge of the dire situation and called up a few pals, including Persistent Luminaries.
BC asked to be part of PLs’ latest venture. Alas, BC instructed PLs to make it appear that the offer was their idea. Major turn off.
Certified busy body
Perhaps Giddy Hausfrau has plenty of free time.
GH has made it a habit to meddle in friends and family’s private affairs. GH is a certified busy body. GH used to spy on the clan’s wealthiest member, Studly Mogul.
GH instructed minions to keep tabs on SM. GH wanted to make sure that the firm had booked SM and Glib Partner in separate rooms for an out-of-town gig.
What GH failed to take into consideration was that the lodgings could’ve had connecting doors. Or that GP could easily slip into SM’s plush suite once the “guards” were asleep.
Fall of an empire
Talk is persistent that Bodacious Vixen’s vast fiefdom is on the verge of collapse.
BV’s woes have become unbearable of late. On top of a personal crisis, BV must also contend with all sorts of political intrigues.
BV has decided to quit while ahead and is letting go of several prime assets. BV’s beloved empire is now up for grabs, and a number of Ultra-rich Personalities are reportedly eyeing this business bonanza.
Family drama
Savvy Charmer knew all along that Cantankerous Brat is a “frenemy.”
CB may act sweet and amiable in front of SC, but in reality … Everyone is aware that CB looks down on SC.
Seemed SC ended up sitting in the lap of luxury because of someone close to CB’s Loquacious Kin. CB never made SC forget the real score. That SC was just an interloper in the clan.
So when push came to shove, did SC take note of this family drama when it was time to decide CB’s fate in the firm?
Lord of illusions
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Show biz glitz has gotten to the head of Attractive Rake. Young and in a hurry, AR is under the illusion that he’s an A-lister.
AR couldn’t have attained instant fame if not for his “special” friendship with Gaudy Vamp.
Friends and fans have counseled AR to take his craft seriously. After all, youth is fleeting, and it’s better to cultivate other marketable skills, to play it safe.
AR, however, took offense and started avoiding well-meaning advisers.
