Traumatized hunk turns to boys

MARIAN Rivera gets flak for charity works.

Show biz insider had a couple of high-profile romances in the past.

Separated from first partner, SI got involved with Colorful Performer but the affair ended in heartbreak. SI was next linked to Visiting Starlet, who is notorious for tawdry gimmicks.

The relationship quickly went pfft.

Seemingly traumatized by these entanglements, SI has reportedly sworn off women and turned to a fellow hunk, good-looking Gifted Entertainer, for solace. They are often seen in public together these days. Apparently, SI is quite proud of their budding romance.

Playing favorites

Many are wondering why Distressed Star has become Powerful Insider’s new favorite. DS is often included in PI’s projects.

According to a mole, PI wants to make up for an unfortunate incident that left DS jobless in the past.

DS was sacked after a misunderstanding involving Handsome Hunk.

The bosses sided with HH, but PI knew that DS was not entirely to blame. Thus, PI has been making sure to hire DS in potentially lucrative ventures.

Drag addict

Pretty Starlet should make certain that nothing is missing from her closet, now that she’s dating Influential Beau.

A spy insists that IB, as a college student, had a fondness for dressing up … in drag. Was it just a phase?

IB and pals cross-dressed for laughs, sure, but witnesses are sure IB enjoyed himself “too much.” Hopefully, he has outgrown his penchant for cosmetics, stilettos and mini-skirts.

Snobbish hunk

KATRINA Halili’s beau wants another baby.

Heard on the Radio Inquirer program “Kliq Showbiz” (dzIQ 990 AM, Monday to Friday, 3 to 5 p.m.).

Since arriving from abroad, Hot Hunk has gained a slew of admirers with his good looks and athletic prowess.

At a splashy event, HH was mobbed by giddy fans, gays and girls alike, who requested souvenir shots with him.

The groupies got the shock of their lives because HH just stared at them and rudely walked out. (Dude, you lost not a few followers for sure.)

Forbidden affair

Picked up from the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Sweet Actress often plays maudlin martyrs onscreen. In real life, SA plays underdog to the hilt as well. Turns out, SA is not so innocent.

SA hooked up with Married Guy. Concerned Friend tried to intervene, but SA refused to give up the man. Worse, SA and her family ganged up on CF who was going steady with SA’s Cute Sibling. CF and CS eventually broke up.

JULIA Montes causes a ruckus in a mall.
