NOT A few keen observers have noticed that High-Profile Project is languishing in limbo. Apart from production problems, HP is also saddled with a prima donna.
A mole says Drama Star refused to report for tapings after learning that the show had been demoted from prime time to an afternoon slot.
Another source insists HP is being pushed to a late-night schedule because of its risqué content.
Balladeer’s obsession
Good-looking Balladeer’s love life has registered a zero since breaking up with Stunning Girlfriend. Turns out, GB is obsessed with Handsome Singer.
Longtime friends, GB and HS started in show biz at the same time. HS has no clue, however, that GB is in love with him.
Forced separation
Hunky Gay hooked up with Talented Boyfriend. They started acting like a married couple—until TB’s Big Bosses intervened.
BB made sure the two would not cross paths. TB was at first rebellious about the forced separation. But BB warned, “Break up with HG or lose your job.”
Missing hunk
Showbiz Insider couldn’t find the right job for Screen Stud. SI didn’t want SS to work in his home studio because he’s scared that other gays might steal the hunk away from him.
SI asked a loyal friend, who owns a bar in an Asian capital, to give SS a job. The scheme backfired, big time. SS met a Rich Foreigner abroad.
RF made SS quit night club work. SI is now weeping buckets.
Kamote eaters
Mikael Daez refused to be the victim of an alleged sex video scandal.
On the set of “Joey Gosiengfiao’s Temptation Island” in Paoay, he declined to comment on the brewing controversy. “Intrigues will not help my acting,” he said.
He said “Temptation” and “Amaya” co-star Marian Rivera is generous with acting tips. Also, that he and fellow “Temptation” hunks Aljur Abrenica and Tom Rodriguez share workout and diet secrets. “We eat kamote a lot.”
