Noisy celeb spews venom, backs off when confronted

Noisy Celebrity allegedly made snarky comments about Popular Costar in cyberspace. Needless to say, the tattletale reached the media, PC confronted NC.

NC, who projects a fearless and brutally frank image, suddenly turned gun-shy and denied authoring the disparaging posts.

Who could have cooked up that one? Are PC’s former colleagues still at it? They’ve been badmouthing PC for ages.

Are NC’s minions still in touch with some of these attack dogs?

Nonwalkout

A mole says Handsome Hunk was all set to attend a go-see but backed out at the last minute. Why?

Naughty spy surmises that HH didn’t want to bump into Showbiz Insider, with whom he had a messy misunderstanding that ended in a bad falling-out. So much so that HH can’t stand to be in the same room as SI.

Turned out, SI wasn’t at the venue.

Another source claims HH didn’t actually walk out, he just needed to be somewhere else.

Smear campaign

There is an incessant smear campaign against Major Star.

An ancient scandal was even resurrected, dredged up from the dustbin of show biz history.

Online hacks have been fanning the flames. One of them is curiously close to the camp of Beleaguered Celeb, who earlier figured in a similar controversy.

Why bring it up? Maybe to cover up BC’s current woes?

Or does misery really love company and BC’s handlers are making MS appear just as wretched?

Warning signs

From the Inquirer Radio program “Inquirer Entertainment” (dzIQ 990 AM, Monday to Friday, 3 to 5 p.m.):

Glamorous Star has found a New Sweetheart. Everyone is happy for GS, who has gone through personal tribulation.

But some well-meaning friends are not so optimistic.

They’re cautioning GS against NS, who is said to have a checkered track record.

NS reportedly bleeds dry his women’s bank accounts.

Forewarned is forearmed.

In-law’s broken heart

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera.

Yet another celebrity marriage bites the dust.

Political Scion tied the knot with Wealthy Heir in a grand society event.

When they called it quits, it was a hush-hush affair. WH has been active in the dating circuit again.

A heart-rending scene occurred when WH bumped into High-profile Father-in-law. HF wept shamelessly over the demise of the once-promising union.

Top of the Talk Shows

For those who missed this week’s TV gabfests (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

CARLA Abellana: “You don’t break up with [only] Geoff; you break up with the family.”

Carla, asked what the most difficult part of the split-up was: “You don’t break up  with [only] Geoff; you break up with the family … They never treated me as an outsider. Pakiramdam ko I was part of the Eigenmann family … Sobrang grateful ako sa kanila.” (Ah, yes, those wonderful Eigenmanns!)

Carla’s message for Geoff: “Thank you for making me a tougher person, for taking care of me and loving me … I hope and pray na maging OK ang lahat sa ’tin.” (Maybe not today.)

Deniece Cornejo on the junking of her rape complaint against Vhong Navarro and being charged with illegal detention: “Ako na ang na-rape, ako na ang naperwisyo… tapos ako pa kakasuhan. Napaka-unfair naman ’yan…” (“Innocent until proven guilty,” remember?)

Vhong Navarro regrets cheating on his girlfriend: “Patuloy ko namang inaamin na nagkamali ako pagdating sa girlfriend ko. Talagang ’yun ang pinagsisisihan ko … Ayaw ko na ’yun ulitin. Dahil sa panahong ’yun, hanggang ngayon, siya pa rin ang kasama ko at umiintindi sa akin.” (She could wake up after your new movie’s theater run. And then what?)

Jennylyn Mercado on being single: “Mas OK ’to… at peace…” (Enjoy.)

James Yap on making peace with ex-wife Kris Aquino: “Sana magtuloy-tuloy na.” (We’re not holding our breath.)

Kris weighs in: “As husband and wife, we may have failed, but we have the rest of Bimby’s life to be good parents to him.” (For Bimby’s sake, we’re holding this over your head.)

Kris on James: “He loved me enough to marry me. That love didn’t survive but I’ll always be grateful … Pinahirapan ko rin talaga ang buhay ni James in the same way na sinaktan niya ang puso ko. But that’s all in the past… we can really be friends.” (This one, too, for our sake!)

SAM CONCEPCION confirms “surprising” conversation with girlfriend’s sister. ARNOLD ALMACEN

Sam Concepcion on reports that he was confronted by Anne Curtis in a bar: “We did talk … It was a surprise … The important part is, we’re OK.” (Would she remember?)
