Lying hunk busted, top rival lands big contract
SHAINA’S heart is “under construction.”
Handsome Hunk presented himself to Big Boss of Rival Company, claiming he was willing to leave Old Studio for greener pastures.
Then HH somehow got BB’s phone number and proceeded to send messages reiterating his intention to transfer.
Turned out, HH was merely using BB as leverage in ongoing negotiations with OS.
Unknown to HH, BB kept all their text exchanges and could’ve easily passed them on to OS bosses.
OS bosses finally learned of HH’s machinations. HH was caught red-handed.
Adding insult to injury, RC moles made it known to everyone, including OS top execs, that they were not interested in HH and that they had offered the lucrative deal to Matinee Idol, HH’s sworn enemy.
The mere mention of MI’s name makes HH see red—or, in his case, pink. Oops.
JUDY Ann Santos-Agoncillo: Will she or won’t she open a new restaurant?
Another liar
Showbiz Insider was caught spreading lies. SI spread a rumor that Veteran Colleague was banned by Top Studio— which was blatant, since VC remained in TS execs’ good graces.
SI tried to attract attention again by claiming that Popular Personality got spooked and backed out of a fight.
Unknown to SI, PP’s supporters did a little snooping and found out SI’s motives. Turned out, SI is a frustrated celeb. Has SI resorted to rumor-mongering to gain instant fame?
Dangerous kiss
Character Actor got antsy on the set. He was to have a kissing scene with Seasoned Actress— just a smack on the lips. But it seemed like an arduous task for CA. Why? SA is involved with Powerful Personality!
HEART Evangelista: Say “Chiz”!
Naturally, CA was scared that PP would get upset. SA made CA feel at ease and the shoot proceeded without a hitch.
Then again, is it true that PP wasn’t too pleased with SA’s daring new role and the onscreen buss?
According to a source, CA would be smart to avoid PP’s turf south of the big city.
All in the family
Being a prima donna runs in the blood. Pretty Starlet turned up with her entire clan for a glamour shoot. On the set, her Overbearing Mom made several unreasonable demands.
In the end, PS still seemed unsatisfied and kept complaining about petty matters. Worse, her equally Controversial Sister got in the act, too. CS threw her weight around like a brat.
Members of the crew vowed never, ever to work with PS, OM and CS again.
REGINE Velasquez
Top of the Talk Shows
For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests (And why we are moved, if we are moved):
Regine Velasquez on son Nate: “Kapag naghu-hum ako, nakiki-hum din siya. Tapos kapag kumakanta na ako ng may lyrics, nakikinig talaga siya. May appreciation na siya agad sa music kaya natutuwa talaga ako.” (We are so not surprised.)
Ogie Alcasid, asked if he wants a new baby: “Madali lang akong kausap! Madali lang ’yung trabaho ko, eh! Sa kanya (Regine Velasquez) ’yun ang mahirap …” (Usapan na!)
Heart Evangelista on detractors saying Sen. Chiz Escudero is using her for the coming elections: “’Di naman sila ’yung kinikilig, eh.” (Let’s see what happens after May.)
Heart, asked if she’s ready to settle down with Senator Chiz: “Oh my gosh, huwag muna! Wait!” (Meanwhile, would you like us to stop talking about this?)
PIA GUANIO
Pia Guanio on how being a mother has changed her: “I was anything but domesticated … but when I got pregnant biglang naging Martha Stewart!” (Those hormones can really do a number on you.)
Eugene Domingo on rumors that fame has gone to her head: “’Di totoo ’yan. Mas naging sweet pa nga ako, eh!” (Amen!)
Enchong Dee on rumors that he and Julia Montes have broken up: “Siguro mas mabuting huwag na lang sagutin kasi every time sumasagot ako ’di naman sila naniniwala.” (Yes or no lang ’yan, ’di ba?)
Robin Padilla on wife Mariel Rodriguez’s reaction to his kissing scenes in “Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw” with Anne Curtis: “Ang lagi lang naman niyang tinatanong sa ’kin, kung OK ako. Kung umuwi ako na may konting pilay, du’n concerned ’yun. Pero sa mga halikan, ayaw na lang niyang pag-usapan. Baka masabi ko pang masarap, eh mabatukan ako!” (So, masarap ba? Hirap ng trabaho mo, tsong!)
Judy Ann Santos on why she is afraid to open a new restaurant: “Baka ’di kaya ng puso kong tumanggap ng kritisismo at baka ’di ko mapanindigan … Siyempre, once you put your name out there, iba na, eh.” (If the food is great, critics be damned.)
Jake Cuenca on rumored girlfriend Lovi Poe: “She’s an amazing person!” (Not to mention gorgeous.)
JAKE Cuenca
Shaina Magdayao, asked why she’s “blooming” these days: “Binabawian lang siguro ako ni Lord sa lahat ng pinagdaanan ko! Seriously … ang dami kong bagong kaibigan ngayon.” (Good for you!)
Shaina, asked if she’s ready to love again: “Trabaho muna … Closed pa ang puso ko—under renovation pa!” (Good call.) Startalk, The Buzz, with Allan Policarpio, Contributor
