It was an important occasion in Talented Entertainer’s life and career. Why was supposed Loyal Sweetheart conspicuously absent? Instead of being TE’s escort for the show-bizzy event, LS partied with pals!
Worse, LS was seen at the overly hyped extravaganza of Major Star, a notorious gay icon.
This is precisely why there are incessant rumors about LS’ sexuality—and why LS and TE’s relationship is suspected as bogus. (TE’s personal life is the subject of much speculation as well.)
It does take two to tango.
Ultimatum
Playboy Lover certainly took his sweet time slipping a ring on Stunning Star’s finger.
There is talk that SS got her way by issuing an ultimatum. She threatened to bolt.
Before all hell could break loose, PL proposed marriage— on bended knee.
(It seems to be the “in” thing in Show Town these days.)
They do make an attractive couple but aren’t they starting their union on the wrong foot?
Inappropriate
Pundits are uneasy about the budding friendship between Gifted Celebrity and Youthful Discovery.
GC and YD are getting too close for comfort. Perhaps GC, who is rumored to be a closet case, is merely playing the role of mentor to the hilt.
But the dynamic duo’s age difference makes a lot of people leery, if not downright uncomfortable—especially since they keep flaunting their special friendship in public. Uh-oh.
Messy affair
Flamboyant Personality and Upstart Hunk are caught in a web of intrigues.
Apparently, things didn’t go as planned and the two parted less-than-amiably. The word war quickly turned ugly, with the two spreading nasty gossip about each other.
FP’s retaliation was quite telling: FP insinuated that UH merely wanted to make noise and get noticed. Then again, FP is not exactly publicity shy.
It’s a case of “He says … He says.” Messy, messy.
Opposite day
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Alluring Starlet is still dissing Gorgeous Boyfriend months after their rather acrimonious breakup. AS insists that she got turned off because GB is a sex fiend.
An insider tells a different tale: It was AS who was inexhaustible. An unexpected house guest once caught GB hiding in AS’ boudoir.
Is this why GB’s Feisty Relative would often sigh whenever AS’ name was mentioned?
KC CONCEPCION would rather not open up about her friend for now.
RYZZA Mae Dizon: “Secret” flower girl
No love lost there.
Top of the Talk Shows
For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests (and why we are moved, if we are moved):
- Camille Prats, asked if she plans to get married soon after her brother John does: “Naku, bawal ang sukob! ’Di naman ako nagmamadali. Ibigay na natin ang moment sa kanila!” (OK with us, one way or another.)
- Vic Sotto on his three-year relationship with Pauleen Luna: “Parati ko naman sinasabi na kaya may relasyon, meron kayong gustong patunguhan. Sa edad kong ’to, makikipaglaro-laro pa ba [ako]?” (Uh.)
CAMILLE Prats would rather let her brother hog the spotlight this year.
- Vic, asked if Pauleen would make an ideal wife: “Lahat na ng ideal … siya na ’yun.” (Ah.)
- Ryzza Mae Dizon on rumors that Pauleen asked her to be one of her flower girls: “Pero secret, bawal.” (Hm.)
- Janine Gutierrez, asked if she gave boyfriend Elmo Magalona a tough time courting her: “Everything just happened unexpectedly. We just went with what we felt. Steady lang until ’eto na nga.” (What does that mean, “’Eto na nga”?)
- Raymart Santiago, asked if there’s a chance of getting back together with Claudine Barretto: “Hindi na mangyayari ’yun …. As friends siguro; may anak naman kami.” (Good ’nuff.)
JANINE Gutierrez describes her relationship with Elmo Magalona as “unexpected.”

- KC Concepcion on rumored boyfriend Paulo Avelino: “Ang ganda ng meron kami ngayon pero ayoko muna magsalita habang premature pa.” (This is called learning from experience.)
- Paulo on his son Aki meeting KC: “Short lang …. Si Aki naman friendly sa lahat.” (Ang implication?)
- Christopher de Leon on his son Miguel, who has testicular cancer: “He’s getting better. It’s a hard and bumpy road, but he’s OK.” (We’re guessing it’s just as hard on the dad.)
PAULO Avelino says his son is friendly to everyone.
- John Lloyd Cruz on rumors that he has a child who’s in college: “Parang lumalabas 15 lang ako noon …. Malabong mangyari.” (Actually, not impossible.)
John Lloyd, asked when he plans to become a father: “Siguro in the next few years. May mga gusto pa akong maabot, professionally.” (Priorities.) Startalk, The Buzz
