Huge appetite lands celeb in hospital twice

Controversial Personality had to learn the hard way that gorging is hazardous.

CP underwent a medical procedure to curb a gargantuan appetite. After the surgery, CP hosted a banquet … which led him back to the hospital for a scary health emergency.

A source explained that CP’s love for food made him defy doctors’ orders.

Distorted figure

Scandalous Figure, who is being linked to CP, was recently spotted in public. Observers had to do a double take.

SF was unrecognizable. Apart from the obvious weight gain, SF’s body seemed distorted, at best. Hefty torso and slim arms? Weird.

Was the “distortion” caused by too many trips to the liposuction table? Or is SF a work in progress?

Foul-mouthed beauty

Feisty Celebrity is famous for a quick wit and acerbic tongue. But FC was rendered speechless—a rare occurrence—by the behavior of Erstwhile Costar.

EC had been badmouthing FC and a Beloved Relative. Although FC refused to stoop to EC’s level, she couldn’t help unleashing a quotable quote: “EC sure has a filthy mouth. I wouldn’t waste my time on someone so obviously dumb. I am sure she would end up obese after giving birth.”

EC doesn’t stand a chance.

Know-it-all

Miss Know-It-All doesn’t know all that much.

During a trip abroad, MK was overheard telling Clueless Costar, in her usual arrogant manner: “We should go to that restaurant … We don’t have that franchise in Manila yet.”

Coworkers could only roll their eyes. Apparently, social-climbing MK hasn’t been to Greenbelt Makati lately, where the restaurant opened ages ago.

Another defection?

After Carmina Villaroel and Iza Calzado, another GMA 7 talent is rumored to be crossing over to ABS-CBN.

At a recent event, reporters asked Kapuso execs about the fate of Carla Abellana, who has no new show in the station’s first-quarter lineup.

The bosses’ explanation was that Carla was still busy with the afternoon soap “Kung Aagawin ang Langit.” Seems her GMA 7 contact is about to end, and is up for re-negotiation.

A source close to the actress goes as far as saying, “Nothing is final yet.”
