Studio sacred cow a dead ringer for bossí ex-flame

Peers chide Cute Personality for being mediocre. He fumbles his lines and could not emote if his life depended on it. This, however, never prevented CP from scoring big projects.

On top of his incompetence, CP’s work ethic is lousy. Insiders say he can be very difficult. This snitty behavior has earned the ire of coworkers, who wonder why big bosses tolerate CP.

Turns out, CP is a dead ringer for Top Honcho’s former crush. TH has a soft spot for CP. No wonder CP is a sacred cow.

Doused fire

Glamorous Beauty is notorious in the biz for being feisty and fearless.

In the middle of a shoot, GB unleashed a barrage of snide remarks that didn’t sit too well with equally Moody Insider.

GB kept at it until MI walked out of the set. Realizing her blunder, GB suddenly turned meek and conciliatory.

GB is all bark. When push comes to shove, she can’t sustain her fiery image.

Rock bottom

Last time Rushes spy saw Handsome Hunk, the guy was teetering on the brink–unkempt, his clothes tattered, his fingernails dirty, his hair stringy. Clearly high on drugs, he looked and smelled like he hadn’t showered for days.

Months later, HH is out of the rut. He is well-dressed and looks neat, rested. Forgetting the Gorgeous Starlet who broke his heart did wonders for him.

Drunken fury

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Mole insists that Major Star hates Striking Sibling’s Charming Sweetheart.

MS snubs CS in biz gatherings. Worse, MS once phoned CS and spewed out a drunken tirade.

Spooked CS now avoids MS like the plague. SS is torn between family and budding romance.

Ricky Lee approves

Screenwriter Ricky Lee says he is amazed at the television version (drama series) of his “Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita,” earlier produced as a movie starring Susan Roces.

“ABS-CBN did a good job,” Ricky said about the show topbilled by Denise Laurel, Jane Oineza, Loisa Andalio, and Vina Morales. “Like Susan’s generation, the new cast’s performance is outstanding.”

“Nasaan Ka” airs daily at 3:15 p.m.

Paul’s secret

Film director Paul Soriano, 33, credits Karada, an ancient Japanese tradition, for his focus both at work and in his personal life.

Now in Metro Manila with six centers, Karada, which Soriano endorses, specializes in restoring inner balance through muscle and bone alignment.

The therapy center is in Glorietta, tel. 5538731; Greenbelt Radissons, 8437425; Greenbelt 1, 5036004; Serendra, 8236716; Northeast Greenhills, 5108954; and Westgate Hub Filinvest City, Alabang, 8941575.
