When push comes to shove, sweet starlet turns sour

Sweet Starlet is not as delicate or as dainty as her screen characters paint her. When push comes to shove, she can be quite feisty.

Pugnacious Beauty was wondering about rumors that SS had been bad-mouthing her in social media. A spy earlier uncovered all sorts of nasty posts supposedly made by SS against PB. In public, however, SS always had only kind words for PB. Nothing snarky.

PB checked out SS’ web page and, according to a mole, was shocked to discover that she had been blocked by quick-thinking SS.

Perhaps SS needs to delete all those incriminating posts first.

Fiery feud

Seems Seasoned Artist is not chummy with Former Flame’s relatives. Perhaps it’s because SA is just as fiery and fearless as FF’s kin, particularly Imposing Diva.

SA is not happy with a joke that ID made on social media since it involved SA’s Beloved Child and Gorgeous Sweetheart.

Not one to suffer in silence but not bothering to confront ID, either, SA posted a pointed comment on GS’ web page: “What’s the use?”

Epic fail

High-flying Personality was lambasted by top foreign agents. A source reports that HP tried too hard to impress huge stars but fumbled all over the place.

Big Star 1’s rep thought HP didn’t ask the right questions.

Big Star 2’s handler was wondering why the conversation revolved around HP and not the film that was being hyped.

Worse, HP messed up spiels and spectacularly bungled the opportunity, said the spy, adding that international bigwigs were appalled.

File under EF, for Epic Fail.

Boycott

There are two sides to every story.

According to the grapevine, Beautiful Star refuses to work with Showbiz Insider’s talents. Turns out, it’s the other way around.

SI vehemently turns down every project that involves BS, according to a well-placed source.

BS has tried to make amends, but SI remains unmoved.

Unlike a virgin

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Perky Starlet claims that she’s never been kissed because her chaperones are very strict.

Sa totoo lang, PS has a less-than-chaste past.

PS would devise schemes to shake off the chaperones and then disappear with screen partner, Hot Rocker, between takes.

IHMAN with his proud human, BB Gandanghari

The staff would look for the two secret lovers. Alas, PS and HR took a long time each time, just fooling around.

So unlike a virgin!

Cheers for Ihman

BB Gandanghari’s 9-year-old chocolate Labrador jumped the farthest (11 feet) at the dock-diving competition during the Pet Express Doggie Pawlympics held at SM Mall of Asia on Sunday. Ihman is a student at BetterDog Canine and Behavior Center. BB was every inch the proud human, handling Ihman during the contest. Though cheered by fans, BB remained calm for Ihman all throughout. BB once told the Inquirer that Ihman was “disciplined and well-behaved.”

Top of the Talk Shows

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

VIC SOTTO and Pauleen Luna: He vows to not keep their wedding plans from the media. PHOTOS BY ARNOLD ALMACEN

Vic Sotto on rumors that he has proposed to Pauleen Luna: “Isa-isa lang, mahina ang kalaban! Malalaman natin ’yun sa tamang panahon.” (Ikaw din, you don’t know?)

Vic on Pauleen being asked if she was ready to take care of the actor-TV host: “Parang gusto niyong gawing caregiver! Ha-ha!” (Well…)

Vic’s message for Pauleen: “Alam kong hindi ideal ang ating relationship. You go through a lot—if you deal with me, you deal with all these people (his family).” (Not unusual in these parts.)

Tom Rodriguez, asked if he’s single: “If I could just keep it to myself?” (And we know what that means.)

XIAN Lim laughs off leaks in the surprise birthday party that he threw for Kim Chiu.

Xian Lim on organizing a surprise birthday party for rumored girlfriend Kim Chiu: “Nakakatawa kasi pagkita niya sa balloon at cake, andun pa ’yung presyo.” (Birthday surprise fail?)

Lani Misalucha on undergoing cosmetic surgeries: “I’m not hiding anything … Regular people can do whatever they want with their bodies. What more people like me who are always in front of the camera? I had my nose and teeth done.” (Go, girl.)

“Pinoy Big Brother” host Toni Gonzaga on people claiming that the show is scripted: “Sanay na kami diyan, Season 1 pa lang. ’Di pa uso social media noon, isang katerbang e-mail ang nakuha namin na kesyo scripted; maraming haters at bashers … But even if they bash the show, interested pa rin naman sila manood.” (E ano naman kung scripted?)

ALEX GONZAGA: Big sister Toni wants her back at home to help straighten up the closet.

Toni on her sister Alex being a celebrity house guest in “PBB”: “Gusto ko na siyang lumabas kasi wala akong katulong sa paglinis ng closet namin!” (Parang mas scripted pa ito.)

Wowie de Guzman on his wife dying just a month after giving birth to their first baby: “Umikot sa kanya ang mundo ko. Paano ko tatapusin ang isang araw na wala ang asawa ko?” (Ito, hindi scripted.)
