MANILA, Philippines–Sporty Hunk had countless flings before he married Bawdy Wife, his absolute match. Then SH met Sultry Siren in a bar out of town. SH and BW almost split up because of SS, who proceeded to join show biz using SH to get one foot in the door! Miraculously, BW prevailed.
Noisy Personality went a step further than SS, moving into the subdivision where SH and BW lived. Iron-willed BW dug in her heels and blocked NP.
BW, who doesn’t mince words in public, continues to dismiss SS and NP as “cheap and common.” Vindictive much!
Amnesia girl
On an out-of-town gig, Flaky Beauty had an engaging conversation with Veteran Insiders. FB was amiable throughout the not-so-brief encounter. As they were about to part ways, FB suddenly quipped, “Are you all from this province?”
VIs were stunned speechless. They were all based in Manila and had been introduced to FB countless times in the past. FB can also mean Forgetful Babe.
Fatal attraction
Colorful Celebrity seems drawn to dangerous lovers who tend to be abusive.
Fresh from a disastrous affair, CC is raring to hook up with Hot Crush.
HC has a track record of treating partners shabbily. Behind that angelic face, HC has a mean temper. CC can sure pick ’em.
User-friendly
From the Inquirer Radio program “Inquirer Entertainment” (dzIQ 990 AM, Monday to Friday, 3 to 5 p.m.):
One of Scandalous Personality’s few talents is penetrating the inner circle of popular celebs. SP seems to believe that the best way to remain famous is by osmosis. In the past, SP was always successful. And then came Hunky Star, who refused to get sucked into user-friendly SP’s universe.
Turns out, SP was once condescending towards HH, then a struggling newcomer. Fortunately or un-, HH and SP both have what is called a long memory, and don’t easily forget.
Free-loading entourage
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Glamorous Stunner loves flaunting her wealth. But lately, GS has been bringing her entire entourage—assistants, drivers, stylists, groupies—to dine on the set of her latest project, consuming food meant for staffers.
Lance’s gym mishap
Actor Lance Raymundo had a freak gym accident: An 80-pound barbell fell on his face. He sustained multiple fractures—the entire nose area was crushed.
His mom Nina says Lance will have two major reconstruction procedures—one tentatively on March 25; another, two or three weeks later. Doctors say Lance’s face will be “one hundred percent” restored. The actor hopes to be back in show biz in three months.
Malaya’s still in
Fil-Am Malaya Watson made it to the Top 9 of “American Idol.” On Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), she sang “When I Was Your Man,” a hit by fellow Fil-Am Bruno Mars.
Judges gave her the thumbs-up. Jennifer Lopez got “goosies” (goosebumps). Keith Urban commended Watson’s “control.” Harry Connick Jr. cited her sincerity: “You were present in every single word.”
Fun, fearless females
That is the peg. Shampoo brand Sunsilk hopes to deliver the message via its latest campaign, Hairkada Adventures (to promote its Smooth and Manageable variant) with a new trio of endorsers: Sarah Geronimo, Julia Montes and Jasmine Curtis-Smith.
Brand manager Ann Esteves guarantees: “Any active girl like Sarah, Julia and Jasmine can now stay under the sun, brave crowded places and new locales without checking every minute how her hair will look and smell.” Big promise!
