The romantic lives of the stars in top studio are messed up because of a little white lie. Hunky Cutie broke up with Pretty Starlet months ago, but they kept it under wraps. Problem is, PS fell for Gorgeous Costar, who is not exactly single. GC’s relationship with Beautiful Star was on the rocks, too, but they were acting like all was well.
Pretending to be indignant about PS and GC’s budding affair, HC purportedly hooked up with Lovely Partner who’s supposedly committed to Handsome Boyfriend.
This dizzying merry-go-round could have been prevented, had HC and PS—throw in GC and BS—owned up from the get-go.
Disappearing act
We bring you one tattle tale all the way from Hollywood.
STATE OF HEART’S ART GMA 7 actress gears up for an exhibit, “I am Love Marie: The Art and Works of Love Marie Ongpauco.” That’s Heart Evangelista’s real name. The exhibit runs May 8-22 at Artist Space of Ayala Museum, Greenbelt 5. facebook photo
Showbiz Insider and pals checked out a “wellness” center that serves a gay clientele.
In the dimly lit hallway, SI spotted a familiar face: world-famous A-list Star!
Gay rumors about AS (who’s no longer a spring chicken) have been raging since he was a strapping young lad.
As noticed that SI recognized him. “AS made a run for it,” SI recounted, laughing.
Malice in Wonderland
Seasoned Insider is well known for crashing show biz events. SI is an inveterate chatterbox and loves being in the thick of things.
Celebrities invariably fall prey to SI’s malicious tirades on such occasions. The latest victims are Promising Hunk and Acclaimed Artist.
SI quickly concocted a delicious scuttlebutt linking PH and AA. Actually, AA and PH were never a couple.
Most hated
From the Radyo Inquirer 990AM program “Inquirer Entertainment” (dzIQ 990 AM, Monday to Friday, 3 to 5 p.m.):
Glib Newcomer has earned an unsavory rep in the biz. Maybe in an attempt to sound witty, GN often cracks ill-conceived jokes that leave colleagues infuriated.
Attractive Celeb, object of a careless GN quip, almost lost it. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed. Perhaps GN will now stop trying to be the industry’s most-hated personality.
Erratic tattler
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Veteran Performer was quite the loquacious interviewee, regaling media with a detailed preview of forthcoming episodes in High-Profile Project.
It was as if those scenes were already in the can. When the reporters checked with other members of the cast and crew, they discovered that VP had pulled their legs.
Turned out, VP’s “spoilers” were really spoiled. File under U for Unreliable.
Top of the Talk Shows
For those who missed this week’s TV gabfests (and why we are moved, if we are moved):
Manny Pacquiao, asked if he was gunning for a higher government position: “Huwag muna nating isipin ’yan.” (Deal.)
Manny, who’s expecting his fifth child with Jinkee, asked if he’s a hands-on dad: “Oo naman … naglalaba ako ng lampin, nagtitimpla ng gatas, nagpapatulog.” (Hindi naman sa suntok, ano?)
Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao, asked if she put a hex on his son’s opponent, Timothy Bradley, during the last bout: “Ay, hindi! Hindi puwede mangulam ng tao. Hindi ako marunong mangulam; ako pa nga ang kinukulam noon.” (Speechless kami.)
Mommy D, asked what kind of balato she wanted from Manny: “Ang hiling ko lang, magretiro ka na dahil nabawi na natin ang talo mo.”(Pa’no si Mayweather?)
Mommy D, asked if she still attracted suitors at 65: “Marami naman. Kaya lang, parang wala pa sa isip ko ’yan.” (Bata pa siya.)
PAULEEN Luna keeps mum about supposed engagement.
Pauleen Luna, asked by manager Lolit Solis if she and boyfriend Vic Sotto stayed in separate rooms during their vacation in the United States: “’Nay, manager ba talaga kita?” (In short, ’Nay, none of your business.)
Pauleen, asked if she and Vic would be announcing their engagement shortly: “I don’t think I’m the right person to answer that.” (Eh sino? Anlabo!)
Zsa Zsa Padilla on her relationship with architect Conrad Onglao: “I’m just inspired!” (Good for you.)
Lovi Poe on her rumored relationship with Rocco Nacino: “I don’t want to put any labels [on it].” (We could label it for you right now.)
Lovi, asked what she loved about Rocco: “He makes me laugh …. Matalino siya at may substance.” (Define substance, quick!)
PARIS, WHEN IT SIZZLES Kapuso sweethearts Rocco Nacino and Lovi Poe visit the City of Light.
Rocco on Lovi: “Sobrang saya ko ngayon. Nakikita mo ’yung smile ko ngayon? Dahil ’to sa kanya.” (Aww.)
James Yap, asked if he had regrets about his failed marriage with Kris Aquino: “Ang iniisip ko [lang], nagkaroon kami ng matalino, bibo, guwapo at matangkad na anak.” (Ah, the bright side. Good point of view.)
James on Kris’ relationship with Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista: “Ayoko nang makialam.” (Good call, dude)
Isabel Oli on possibly marrying boyfriend John Prats: “Gusto ko pero hindi pa … pinagpe-pray ko na siya na talaga.” (Uh, it doesn’t work that way.)
Deniece Cornejo’s message to Vhong Navarro, whom she’s accusing of raping her: “Umamin na siya; lahat ng kasalanan niya sabihin niya na.” (Would you?)
JC Intal on proposing to Bianca Gonzalez: “Nakita ko na kasi … ’yung worst and the best niya … Dumating na lang talaga ’yung time na sure na ako na I wanted to marry Bianca.” (Eyes wide open! Cheers!)
