Arrogant personality smashed into a glass door at the studio. It didn’t break, but AP got a nasty bump. Quite tellingly, no one helped; colleagues secretly snickered.
Obviously, peers don’t like AP. When AP got entangled in a recent scandal, no one from the workplace expressed concern.
AP’s career is in limbo. Bitter Rival told Rushes that AP had it coming. “That’s one conceited jerk,” a mole ranted. Harsh.
Laugh trip
Glamorous Star attended a splashy event, where she witnessed a mishap.
High-profile Insider fell off a chair right in front of shocked GS, who just stood there laughing herself silly. As in, wa poise.
Fallout
Pretty Starlet figured in a scandal with Maverick Personality. Turned out, MP’s real sweetheart was PS’ Naïve Relative. Yes, fishy.
Vice Ganda threatens to resort to witchcraft after disappointing Miss U results. ARNOLD ALMACEN
A supporter related that NR was too trusting and allowed MP unlimited access into the family home. Predictably, MP overstepped his bounds.
When things took an ugly turn, creepy MP didn’t lift a finger to protect PS.NR was furious but afraid to speak out, so PS suffered the fallout.
Boring druggie
Straight from Hollywood:
Studio execs are pulling out all the stops to hype up Lovely Newcomer. After all, they have placed their bets on Mammoth Project, top-billed by LN.
Problem is, LN has not been cooperative. At a recent glittery event, LN declined to pose for photographers on the red carpet. She also refused to give interviews.
Well, reporters didn’t exactly mind, having decided that LN was dumb and dull, interesting only when drunk or high.
All bark
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Noisy Personality can be pugnacious in public, criticizing everyone, including Former Flame. In fact, he has been quite relentless in badmouthing FF.
FF’s Present Beau confronted the tattletale. NP was suddenly at a loss for words. Well, he didn’t stand a chance; PB becomes very intimidating when provoked.
Fassbender as Jobs
LOS ANGELES—Filming got under way in San Francisco on a new biopic about Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, with Hollywood’s Michael Fassbender playing the role of the mercurial computer pioneer.
Sources told Agence France-Presse on Thursday that the German-Irish Fassbender, 37, took on the title role in the movie “Steve Jobs” after it was turned down by Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale. The screenplay is being written by Aaron Sorkin, who won an Academy Award for his script for “The Social Network,” about Facebook and its cofounder Mark Zuckerberg.

No hard feelings
NEW YORK—Rocker Tom Petty says he never threatened to sue Sam Smith over the latter’s smash hit “Stay With Me” and agreed that similarities to his own “I Won’t Back Down” were coincidence.
The vocal melody in “Stay With Me” is highly similar to that in “I Won’t Back Down,” which appeared on Petty’s 1989 album “Full Moon Fever,” his first without his backup band The Heartbreakers.
Smith was born in 1992. His representatives said he had not been familiar with the song. AFP
