Talk about a tempest in a teapot. Minor Project is beset by a brewing battle between two struggling—and we use the term loosely here—“stars.”
Perky Starlet saw red when Pretty Colleague landed the meaty role she coveted. PS was slighted because she had been languishing in the company’s stable of neglected talents.
Worse, PC is a new arrival from a rival firm, while PS could qualify for a loyalty award.
PS thought it unfair that she was made to play support to another supporting player. That’s the bottom of the pecking order. Welcome to the D list.
Busted!
Admired Personality constantly speaks of Favorite Child glowingly, enumerating the latter’s scholarly achievements.
FC, however, got in trouble with authorities after being caught possessing illicit drugs.
AP’s minions pulled strings to save FC from the severest punishment. The misdeed was efficiently swept under the rug.
Germaphobes, unite
Glamorous Beauty, wanting to feel closer to the masses, hit the streets, to hobnob with the common folk.
COCO Martin was “shocked” by new project. RICHARD A. REYES
But GB had a debilitating fear of germs, so she feigned injuries and bandaged her hands beforehand.
Just like GB, Obsessive Star keeps a bottle of alcohol or a pack of hand wipes within reach. Paranoid, much?
Uplifting experience
Straight from Hollywood:
Popular Star made the mistake of wearing a revealing gown on the red carpet.
Haters criticized her less-than ample assets online, referring to her, snickering, as a bona fide “SAG” member.
Dismayed by the bashing, PS ran to a top surgeon for an instant lift. Next time she attends a glitzy event, she’ll be perkier, for sure.
Creepy romance
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera: Dashing Boyfriend often visits Seasoned Star on the set. Trouble is, SS acts like a giddy teenager around DB.
AI AI DELAS Alas says she is now well-behaved because she has a new boyfriend.
SS and DB can’t keep their hands to themselves and would even feed each other during meal breaks.
Worse, SS and DB think nothing of engaging in marathon smooching sessions. SS’ younger colleagues find such public displays of affection creepy. It’s like watching your parents make out, they complain. Ew.
Asian persuasion
Hong Kong-raised Richard Juan, a chinito heartthrob, has joined the roster of SM Youth (a top local fashion brand for the young) endorsers. Richard earned his Broadcast Communication degree in University of the Philippines Diliman. He joined the “Foreignoy” contest on “Eat Bulaga” and emerged as the “Dabarkads Choice,” securing for him a slot as regular host in the program’s “Pinoy Henyo” segment.
Depp marries fiancée
Johnny Depp married his fiancée, Amber Heard, at their home in Los Angeles on Tuesday, People magazine reported.
Depp, 51, who met Heard, 28, when they appeared together in the 2011 film “The Rum Diary,” tied the knot in a small ceremony.
The magazine said a bigger wedding is planned for this weekend on Depp’s private island, Little Hall’s Pond Cay, in the Bahamas. Reuters

Top of the Bandera
This week’s top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

Kris Aquino tinalakan ng anak ni Erap. Resbak ni Kris: Hindi po ako pinalaki ni Cory Aquino para maduwag! (Silence is not always cowardice.)

Matapos idiin noon sa sex scandal nila ni Katrina Halili; Hayden Kho laging nasa kulungan, namumuno sa bible study para kina Bong Revilla at Jinggoy Estrada; Pero todo iwas pa rin sa tunay na relasyon nila ni Vicki Belo. (And we’re over him.)
Video nina Manny at Jinkee Pacquiao mabilis na kumalat. (Mom had nothing to do with this, right?)
