Relative stops star’s suicide attempts

MAJA Salvador: Why she’s blooming

Rumors are swirling in the corridors of power. According to a mole, Troubled Star could no longer handle the pressures of a raging controversy and attempted suicide … twice.

Well-meaning Relative intervened and took TS on an expensive holiday, far, far away from intrigues. WR made sure TS was provided with abundant spiritual counseling.

Friends hope that WR’s efforts will not have been in vain. As a source stressed, WR looks dainty and delicate compared to pugnacious TS. But, in the end, WR proved stronger.

Memory gap

Showbiz Insider was stunned by Perky Personality’s behavior.

SI bumped into PP at a posh mall.

To SI’s surprise, PP acted like a complete stranger. PP seemed amiable when they met a few weeks before.

Perhaps PP didn’t want to be bothered that day. Was it because PP was accompanied by a nonshowbiz friend that time?

SI wasn’t even interested in hobnobbing with PP or the unnamed companion.

Maybe PP is an amnesiac?

Hitting the jackpot

No wonder Showbiz Scion is not running after Respected Parent’s money, unlike other relatives.

Turns out, SS has hit the jackpot and is now the “domestic partner” of Wealthy Mogul, who is based abroad.

So that’s why SS is living like a “queen” and is no longer as enthusiastic about working in the local scene!

Admirably, SS accepts projects every now and then—“for art’s sake,” not for moolah.

Suffocating sweetheart

Good-looking Tomboy was once the sweetheart of Beautiful Star. They eventually parted ways.

Soon enough, BS had landed in the arms of Swarthy Swain.

GT went steady with Glamorous Celeb.

GT and GC were together for a while, but their affair quickly turned sour. GT couldn’t stand GC’s jealousy attacks. A spy went so far as to say GT was suffocated by GC’s ardor.

MARIAN Rivera called “jinxed” by rival’s fans.

Graceless exit

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera.

It was bound to happen. Stylish Performer already had a previous run-in with Popular Star. So when SP had another tiff with PS’ camp, things came to a head.

SP asked a stranger to leave the dressing room, perhaps unaware that the person was part of PS’ entourage.

That was the booboo that broke the camel’s back. SP’s character in a high-profile project was swiftly dispatched to the chopping block.

Blooming career

Maja Salvador is certainly having days of wine and roses.

1) She’s starring in a concert, “Maj: The Legal Performer,” at the Music Museum in Greenhills on July 12.

She’s not saying the “better” performer because then she will have to say better than whom!

But by saying “legal,” doesn’t she have to say which performers are illegal?

2) Maja is also the new face of Robinsons Land Corp.’s latest campaign for Robinsons Malls, Right Homes, Go Hotels and Robinsons Homes.

She is said to have been “the hands-down choice” for the job, mainly because of her faith in the property developer.

Last week’s announcement by RLC executive Roseann C. Villegas: “Maja lives and owns a unit in one of RLC’s Bonifacio Global City developments, embracing the Robinsons lifestyle. She connects with people quickly; they relate to her whether on- or off-cam. She’s a good daughter, a good sibling, and a beautiful person in and out.”

3) She has Gerald Anderson.
