GERALD Anderson denies that he often quarrels with his girlfriend.
Insiders were appalled by the behavior of Perky Starlet and Rowdy Artist.
Although most everyone in their circle knows that they are not remotely interested in each other, PS and RA act as if they are sweethearts.
It seems they are cooking up not just projects together, but also all sorts of gimmicks to drumbeat their careers.
PS and RA are the very definition of user-friendly.
Standee
A group of fans chanced upon Bubbly Star during a holiday event.
MAJA Salvador is “makulit,” says boyfriend.
They asked for a souvenir snapshot with BS, who obliged, perfunctorily.
When the admirers checked the photos, they were dismayed.
BS had a blank expression in all the shots; obviously, she’d rather be somewhere else.
“It was like posing with a standee,” one of the groupies remarked.
Would it kill BS to show a little warmth? Perhaps cosmetic enhancements have made her face unmoving?
Luxe life
Seasoned Insider is back to an old money-making scheme.
Enterprising SI sells all sorts of luxury items on the side.
Problem is, she has lost her captive market, since most of the celebs in her current company are not as wealthy as those in the previous stomping ground.
Quick-thinking SI found a new client base: the firm’s high-flying employees who live the luxe life, though most Filipinos are in dire financial straits. Boo.
Wheeler dealer
JULIE Anne San Jose broke down during her concert.
Flamboyant Insider teamed up with Troubled Businessman for a doomed enterprise.
TB was reluctant, but FI’s convincing powers are legendary.
Still, the Beleaguered Artist they wanted to hire had second thoughts.
The project went pfft.
FI quickly bounced back and landed another huge deal. Interestingly, FI dumped TB. Was it because FI knew the second venture would be more successful?
Waiting game
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera.
At a splashy event, Industry Veteran asked to chat with Publicity Hound. Alone.
PH promised to grant the request. IV waited… and waited. PH simply vanished without a trace.
Curiously, a bigger and more talented personality, Major Star, didn’t make IV suffer so much. MS fulfilled IV’s wish sans fuss and fanfare.
MARIEL Rodriguez left without her hubby.
Top of Bandera
This week’s top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera (and why we are moved, if we are moved):
Ryzza Mae Dizon pinahirapan nang todo sa “My Big Bossing.” (Kaya niya ’yan.)
Daniel Matsunaga hiyang-hiya na kay Kris Aquino; damay sa iskandalo. (Okey lang sa kanya ’yan.)
Angel Locsin “tinalakan” ang nang-iintriga sa kanila ni Anne Curtis. (Good for you.)
Vina Morales ayaw maging ikalawang asawa ni Binoe: Magulo ang ganyang relasyon!; Robin Padilla “ikinulong” si Mariel Rodriguez sa kwarto dahil kay Vina. (How low can we go—to promote a movie?)
Robin bigo na namang makakuha ng US Visa kaya iniwan ni Mariel.
(Uh-oh.)
Natatakot nga bang tarayan at sugurin ni Mariel? Vina iwas na iwas sa kamandag ni Robin, tumanggi sa halikan. (Enough na, ha?)
Rommel Padilla boto kay Jasmine Curtis-Smith para kay Daniel Padilla. (Not his call, is it?)
Ai-Ai de las Alas iniintriga sa kinita ng huling pelikula nina Kim Chiu at Xian Lim. (Excuses, excuses.)
Naging instant superhero ng mga inaapi, parang eksena sa pelikula; Phillip Salvador dinakdakan ang foreigner na nanlait, nambastos sa Filipino waitress. (Parang action movie!)
Jason Francisco: Mas responsable na po ako ngayon dahil sa baby namin ni Melai! (Dapat lang.)
Julie Anne San Jose nailabas ang sama ng loob matapos umiyak sa concert. (She can sing; why resort to this?)
Gerald Anderson: Hindi kami nag-aaway ni Maja Salvador pero grabe ang kulit niya! (This used to be charming.)
Ilang US doctor ang nag-eksplika kung paanong makakabuo; Aiza Seguerra nagpaplano nang buntisin si Liza Diño. (We are so stumped.)
