Trusted pal steals millions from controversial star
ENGAGED Boots Anson-Roa on Saturday invited friends to an engagement party. She will tie the knot with lawyer Francisco Rodrigo Jr. next year. Photo was taken at the party on Monday. Bayani San Diego Jr.
Glib Personality pretends to be holier-than-thou in public. But GP once betrayed Controversial Celebrity’s trust.
GP volunteered to broker a million-peso deal for CC.
RYZZA Mae Dizon, here with costar Bimby, hopes kids in the Visayas are all right.
Unknown to CC, GP padded the cost of a certain property, adding no less than eight zeros to the price tag!
CC could’ve saved a lot of money on the sale but GP had other plans, brazenly taking advantage of CC’s insecurities.
Quite a convincing talker, GP pulled the wool over gullible CC’s eyes. Of course, GP pocketed the extra cash, on top of a few more millions in commission. Greed knows no bounds.
Her cheating heart
Pretty Starlet can’t help herself. Though involved with Gregarious Hunk, she fooled around with Influential Celebrity, said a mole.
PS rationalized the infidelity, thus: “GH neglected my needs as a woman. I think he is a closet case.”
It wasn’t the first time that PS cheated on her beau. When she was still a newcomer, PS had a fling with another guy while she was still with Handsome Boyfriend.
Insiders suspect PS has a serious psychological disorder and simply can’t quit straying.
VIC SOTTO will inform “everyone” when wedding plans are final.
Reality check
In a recent gathering to promote a high-profile project, Budding Performer received a rather scathing critique from Veteran Insider.
VI gave BP’s singing the thumbs down: “You are better off dancing.” BP was distraught about the honest appraisal.
After the event, BP approached VI, offering a ridiculous excuse for the vocal inadequacy: “Where did you see me perform? Perhaps the sound system was lousy.”
That’s right, blame the speakers. BP just can’t carry a tune with a bucket.
HEART Evangelista can’t believe that buddy Alessandra de Rossi is “conservative.”
Reunited
From the Radyo Inquirer program “Inquirer Entertainment” (dzIQ 990 AM, Monday to Friday, 3 to 5 p.m.):
Promising Actress had a messy breakup with Cute Heartthrob. Even the combative couple’s relatives weighed in.
PA swore she would never forgive CH. Months later, PA bumped into CH who was yummier and hunkier than ever. PA was just as hot, though she had gone through the wringer during her time with CH.
Foolishly, the couple went on a late-night date. Nothing the matter with a little midnight snack, except the reunion led to more than just a hefty serving of dessert.
The relatives are once again bracing for fireworks.
Ah, to be young and reckless!
Goodbye game
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
This perky pair went the opposite direction. After playing the on-and-off game for months, Hunky Star and Stunning Starlet have called it quits.
According to a mole, HS could no longer stand SS’ jealousy attacks. SS suspects something fishy is going on between HS and his Longtime Costar.
Seemed HS chose LC over SS. Career (and money) prevailed.
Top of the Talk Shows
For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests (and why we are moved, if we are moved):
- Vic Sotto, asked if he had immediate plans of settling down with Pauleen Luna: “Nakikipag-relasyon ka, hindi dahil trip mo lang, kung ’di dahil may long-term kang plano … Kung… mayroon [nang] definite plans, kayo ang unang makakaalam.” (Kami lahat?)
- Freddie Aguilar on his detractors: “May mga taong walang magawang maganda sa buhay. Mas gusto nilang gugulin ang panahon nila na pagtripan ako, eh wala naman akong ginawa kundi magmahal.” (That’s trivializing it a bit, Ka Freddie.)
- Freddie’s girlfriend on being supposedly the last woman in the folk singer’s life: “Patutunayan ko sa kanila na deserving ako para maging huli ni Freddie.” (If anyone has to do any proving, girl, it’s your husband).
- Heart Evangelista’s first impression of friend Alessandra de Rossi: “I thought she was carefree and liberated. ’Yun pala napaka-conservative! [She can’t handle] kissing scenes.” (That’s why you became friends?)
- Heart, asked who her first love (and first kiss) was: “John Prats!”
- Alessandra’s dream wedding: “Sa beach… because I’m a mermaid!” (Uh, and would you like a merman for a groom?)
- What Ryzza Mae Dizon prays for: “Sana po OK ’yung mga bata sa Visayas.” (Good girl.)
- KC Concepcion on what attracted her to Paulo Avelino: “Hinahangaan ko siya bilang aktor and since priority ko ngayon ’yung work ko as an actress, ang ganda rin pag-usapan ’yung trabaho namin.” (Maybe you can also play Scrabble.)
- Annabelle Rama on the Gutierrezes being compared to the Barrettos: “Hindi ako inaway ng mga anak ko. Nagnakaw ng pera, nagnakaw ng mga alahas—hindi ako ganyan. At least na-appreciate ko ang mga anak ko na maski binibigyan ako ng datung, hindi ako pinagsasabihan ng, ‘Hoy, binigyan kita ng datung!’ Walang ganyang mga eksena.” (Tama rin naman.)
- Eugene Domingo, asked if she wanted to have a boyfriend: “Gusto ko na! Lord give me a lover!” (Amen.)
- Ara Mina on her reconciliation with Cristine Reyes: “Parang pang-‘Maalaala Mo Kaya!’ Mas naging close kami. Dati kasi kahit magkatabi kami parang may wall.” (Ganyan din dati sina Claudine at Gretchen Barretto.)
