Perky starlet steals gorgeous gal’s beau

Perky Starlet blamed Glamorous Beauty for her breakup with Playboy Hunk. No, GB didn’t fool around with PH. Turned out, PH had a fling with GB’s Handsome Partner, a closet case.

PS suspected that GB acted as “enabler,” tolerating PH and HP’s secret affair, at PS’ expense. PS didn’t get mad; she got even, running away with Seasoned Lothario, who first eyed GB (who was left hanging in the air).

Ulterior motive

Ambitious Personality used to chaperone Popular Relative to various engagements.

Alas, AP had an ulterior motive: To meet PR’s rich and powerful friends.

Recently, PR was stunned to discover that AP had set up a series of meetings with Powerful Celebrity, with the end in view of using PC’s connections in a business venture.

When it was PR’s turn to ask for help, AP was unavailable.

Quitting game

The high life has left Troubled Actor’s brain frazzled.

TA kept fumbling his lines during a shoot, to Veteran Costar’s dismay. After about a dozen takes, VC walked out, never to be seen again.

Unable to cope, TA quit as well. Producers tried to lure VC back to the set. But a high-profile project prevented VC from rejoining the team.

Flashback

Quirky Thespian’s coworkers are spooked because they frequently catch QT talking to himself.

Maybe QT is just rehearsing lines of dialogue? Nope. QT is definitely speaking to imaginary friends, says a mole.

Colleagues insist that years of boozing and drug use have taken their toll on QT’s faculties.

Road to recovery

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Promising Heartthrob had to disappear for a while, to recover from a debilitating addiction.

Now that PH is back on the scene, his family and friends are overprotective, shielding him from the old gang that led him astray. Luckily, PH is kept busy with various assignments.

To his credit, PH is never late and always reports to work gung-ho but sober. He visits regularly with a counselor, too.

So far, so good.

Top of the Talk Shows

MARRIAGE isn’t on Maxene Magalona’s mind just yet.

For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

Maxene Magalona on being single: “I’m very happy because I can focus on myself. Marriage—’di ko pa siya iniisip. I can’t say, though I’m turning 30 next year, na may pressure.” (Take all the time you need.)

Alex Gonzaga, asked if she deserves to hold a concert at the Big Dome: “Feeling ko, lahat tayo deserving magkaroon ng opportunity na matupad ang pangarap… Everything is possible.” (Not everyone should play the Big Dome. Kahit pinapangarap.)

Matteo Guidicelli, asked if Sarah Geronimo’s parents are supportive of the celeb couple’s relationship: “Okay lang… we have challenges here and there, but… I hope things will be [better] in the future.” (“Okay lang” usually doesn’t mean okay.)

Matteo on getting emotional during his 25th birth anniversary celebration: “The people I love were all there… also because of Sarah’s efforts to make me happy. Marami na kaming pinagdaanan.… I was very touched.” (The best of luck to you—as much as you will need.)

Boy Abunda on ABS-CBN pulling the plug on “The Buzz”: “Hindi ako magkukunwari na ’di ako nasasaktan, na I’m not bleeding inside, because I am… In denial po ako the past few days; a part of me died today… Napakahirap magpaalam sa isang show na nagbigay sa ’yo ng pangalan at biyaya.” (Sniff, sniff, sniffing… a reformat!)
