Noisy Celeb thought latest Potential Sweetheart was a prize catch—good-looking, rich and single. This last one should have raised a red flag. Turns out, PS is unavailable, in the strictest sense of the word. Pursuing a long-term relationship with PS would be ill-advised, a spy insists. The rumor mill says PS prefers lovers of the same gender.
That makes NC ill-equipped for the job of life partner for PS, even if NC is really quite persistent.
Firebreather
Not a few observers raised their brows when Flighty Beauty arrived “in character” at an event. FB was not her usual amiable self; she was playing her role in a project, a fire-breathing villainess.
FB ruffled feathers with her bizarre behavior. She was condescending and rude to guests, including Seasoned Costar, who was turned off by the prima donna act. Asked about FB, SC quipped, “Different strokes for different folks.”
Breakdown
Controversial Personality has hit rock bottom, and friends are concerned. They say CP has lost all sense of vanity, refusing to bathe and appearing unkempt and dazed in public. CP also smells like a bum, apparently heading downhill fast.
Green-eyed monster
From the Inquirer Radio program “Inquirer Entertainment” (dzIQ 990 AM, Monday to Friday, 3 to 5 p.m.).
Cute Hunk has always had girl problems. Past GFs scampered away when things got serious. A mole insists that CH is the jealous type and has a nasty temper. He looks angelic, but is really a green-eyed monster. This was the reason that Latest Lover dumped him. LL couldn’t stand his unpredictable mood swings.
Cat fight redux
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Not a few insiders thought the squabble between Beautiful Star and Gorgeous Coworker was about to end. But, the winds of war shifted. Again.
GC posted cryptic online messages perceived as snide remarks against BS. Of course, BS and her supporters wouldn’t take that sitting down. BS’ retort hit where it hurt the most, alluding to GC’s rather messy private life. Hala, personalan na!
Top of the Talk Shows
For those who missed this week’s TV gabfests (and why we are moved, if we are moved):
Roxanne Cabanero, who’s accusing Vhong Navarro of raping her: “I have a lot of hate inside right now, and I’m very emotional. ’Di ako nagsisinungaling, hindi ako pakawala, OK? (OK!)
Bernard Palanca, asked if he’s ready to meet his girlfriend Jerika’s father, Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada: “Inaalagaan ko naman ’yung anak niya. Wala akong masamang intentions. Kung kailangan kong dumaan [sa butas] ng karayom o tatlong karayom, pagdadaanan ko.” (Parang may takot.)
Bernard on marrying Jerika, who’s pregnant: “Kailangan kong mag-concentrate sa work at mag-alaga sa bata … kung papakasalan ko man siya … that means I deserve it—meaning, nakuha ko na ang blessing ng buong family niya. Gusto ko muna makuha ’yun.” (Parang may kaba.)
Bernard on shunning past vices: “I recently became a Born Again Christian. Ang lakas ng influence ng girlfriend at pastor ko. Everything has been good.” (Parang … OK na!)
KRISTA Ranillo assures dad Mat that she loves him—in spite of allegations linking him to the pork barrel scam.
Krista Ranillo, asked if she wanted to have another baby after her third: “Sana hindi na, kasi mayroon na kaming girl. Pero ’yung husband ko, parang he wants. We’ll see!” (It’s a decision for two.)
Krista on her father Mat Ranillo III being implicated in the pork barrel scam: “He just knows that we love him and that we care for him.” (Hardly a defense.)
JANINE Gutierrez enjoys hanging out with her screen partner.
Janine Gutierrez on rumors that she and Elmo Magalona are in a relationship: “Masaya lang ako ’pag kasama ko siya.” (OK, don’t tell.)
Raymart Santiago, asked for updates on his legal tussle with wife Claudine Barretto: “May hearings pero ayokong bino-broadcast kung kailan … sila (Claudine’s camp) lang naman ang nagsasabi ng schedule … Nalulungkot pa rin [ako] dahil nami-miss ko ’yung mga bata.”
Carla Abellana on “problems” with boyfriend Geoff Eigenmann: “It’s not the first time na nahihirapan kami. That’s completely normal in a relationship … hindi kami always forever happy.” (No one is.)
Aljur Abrenica hinting at … well, something: “Naiinis ako sa sitwasyon dahil medyo nawalan ng respeto.” (Nawalan ng respeto ang sitwasyon. Got that.)
CARLA Abellana insists spats between couples are “normal.”
Dennis Trillo on Ai-Ai de las Alas naming him her “new inspiration” during the Star Awards: “’Di ko inaasahan, so may konting awkward na pakiramdam sa stage.” (Konti lang? Kami, malaking awkward.)
Anne Curtis asked how her Dyesebel differed from others’: “Si Dyesebel [ko] ang tanging sirena na ’di kagandahan ang boses!” (Gives new meaning to “siren call.”)
Gerald Anderson on rumors that his mother doesn’t approve of Maja Salvador: “They’re very OK. In fairness naman po kay Maja, she really made an effort. That’s very important.” (Any girl would. Ay, our slips are showing.)
Gerald, asked if Maja was “the one”: “It would be really unfair din naman po sa kanya kapag sinagot ko ’yan kasi as much as possible, from what I [know now], I really want to keep this private and see how long it will last … I’ve been in many high-profile situations so I’ve learned a lot.” (Quiet lang kami.)
