From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera: Insiders compare Handsome Hunk to an iPhone. Behind his back, HH is tagged “Mr. User-friendly.”
HH zealously guards his privacy—to the point of being belligerent. But when it was time to promote a new project, HH suddenly opened up about his love life.
No wonder HH’s Ex-Flames (yes, plural) have hardly any fond memories of the guy. Gorgeous Star’s pals have dubbed HH mangga—not after the fruit but short for manggagamit (user).
HH seems to think all his relationships exist to prop up his status in the biz. He plans everything (courtship, dating, breaking up) in step with his career moves.
File under C, for Careerist.
English only, please
Fashionable Performer volunteered to emcee a flashy event. FP is under the illusion that she is articulate.
Well, seemingly dazed and confused FP fumbled (her spiels) and rambled.
An observer gasped: “FP seems to have forgotten how to speak English that night.”
Perhaps she needs a refresher course. Meanwhile, maybe she should have spoken in Filipino.
Unfortunately, colonial mentality (and sheer haughtiness) apparently clouded her judgment.
Delete and block
Sultry Celeb reached her limit. She deleted two former friends, Veteran Actor and Controversial Personality, from her social media account.
SC suspects that VA and CP are loyal to her Estranged Partner. Can you blame them?
SC has been acting strange of late. Her behavior can only be described as vengeful, spiteful or plain paranoid.
It was good riddance, as far as VA and CP are concerned.
Duped
Closeted Insider went backstage at a bikini open to ogle scantily clad boys.
CI lured some hunks into a secluded corner. But the room was so dark, the wily contestants got to fake “it” using unmentionable “falsies.”
CI was under the impression that he had scored big.
Clueless much?
Beauty and the beastie
Beautiful Celebrity should be wary of new buddy, Nosy Personality.
This “bestie” is quite the beastie.
NP befriended BC to squeeze out juicy tidbits, not only on the gullible girl, but also on the latter’s Iconic Relative.
NP is inexplicably envious of IR. NP wants to drive a wedge between BC and IR, and snoop around while at it.
Information is power, as fas as NP is concerned. She would try anything to erase IR from the scene.
Nicole flies high
Hollywood superstar Nicole Kidman is Etihad Airways’ new “brand ambassador.”
The national airline of the United Arab Emirates recently launched a new global campaign via the international premiere of a new television commercial (TVC) in Abu Dhabi. Kidman and hundreds of special guests attended the event.
NICOLE Kidman endorses a UAE airline.
Nicole Kidman is both star and narrator of the TVC, which will be shown on global television and social media in 60- and 30-second formats. Still versions of the campaign will appear in print, digital and outdoor channels worldwide.
The TVC was shot onboard Etihad’s new flagship Airbus A380 and in various locations including famous landmarks in Abu Dhabi.
