Youngsters in bizarre triangle with influential celeb

Perky Starlet traveled with Charming Boyfriend to a summer destination.

After enjoying the sights and sounds in a faraway town, PS and CB met up with Powerful Personality for future projects.

PP is a notorious closet case and has been eyeing CB for so long.

Unknown to PS, she came face to face with a fierce rival to CB’s heart that sweltering day.

PP is relentless in wooing CB, wining and dining Pushy Relative, to curry favor and gain pogi points.

PR, however, got confused and thought PP was a possible suitor!

Wrong number.

Digital karma

Famous Celeb’s supporters would often chide Determined Frenemy’s supposed vices.

As luck would have it, FC’s Youthful Kin acquired the same nasty habit.

When YK got involved in an illicit activity, FC’s minions swept the mess under the rug.

Perhaps FC’s camp should refrain from disparaging others about their personal problems in light of YK’s own troubles.

As they say, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones—especially since karma has gone digital these days.

Highfalutin

Ambitious Celeb should hire a new set of spinbusters.

AC’s public pronouncements are invariably wordy. Even simple text messages sound highfalutin.

Is it because AC is considering a political career?

The handlers’ goal is to package AC as more than just a pretty face (and hot bod).

Thing is, AC may not have the intellectual rigor for the job.

AC’s persistence is hard to beat, though.

CHRISTOPHER de Leon is certain his daughter will make it in the biz.

While in the middle of a vacation, AC sent out a pretentious (and embarrassing) statement to the media.

AC is indefatigable.

Fact-finding mission

Popular Star was rightfully leery of Surprise Guest, who showed up unannounced at the doorstep years ago.

PS and SG were, at best, casual acquaintances, having worked together in a project.

Later, PS realized that SG’s visit was part of a fact-finding mission.

SG was snooping around, trying to find out if PS and Handsome Partner were still a couple.

After verifying that PS and HP were separated, SG went public with a secret relationship.

PS’ suspicion was confirmed: HP and SG were having a steamy affair all along.

Drama queen

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Closeted Hunk is a certified drama queen.

MICH Liggayu is beset by financial problems.

Whenever fans were nearby and CH was in no mood to entertain them, he would pretend to be busy, memorizing lines.

If that didn’t work, CH would suddenly be afflicted with fake ailments.

If groupies were still insistent, he would grab his cell phone and chat with imaginary friends.

Call CH the Great Pretender.

Top of the Talk Shows

For those who missed last weekend’s “Startalk” on GMA 7 (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

Dionisia Pacquiao on people poking fun at her, saying that she practices witchcraft: “Excuse me, no! Hindi ako marunong mangulam. Bakit? Magagalit ang Panginoon… Pero magaling akong mag-pray over.” (Bewitched, bothered,   bewildered? Or all of the above?)

Kylie Padilla on her rumored relationship with Matt Henares: “Happy ako ngayon!” (Happiness is contagious.)

Kylie, asked if her father, Robin Padilla, has already met her rumored boyfriend: “Not yet… Iniiwasan ko lang na masyadong maraming makilala si Papa. Sabi niya sa ’kin, gusto niyang maka-close ’yung talagang mapapangasawa ko. At gusto kong tuparin ’yung wish niya na ’yun.” (Smart idea. Baka maudlot.)

KYLIE Padilla is happy with her love life.

Kylie on keeping her love life private: “Ayokong ma-focus ’yung career ko sa love life ko. Iniiwasan ko na talaga. And since the last one was so messy, ayoko nang maulit ’yun.” (We repeat: Smart. Very smart. )

Mich Liggayu on her late boyfriend Jam Sebastian’s mother, Maricar, claiming that the YouTube celeb is still cashing in on the Jamich accounts: “Ngayon po nahirapan nga ako financially kasi nawalan po din ako ng work, kasi siyempre ’yung work ko po before is sa amin lang po ni Jam. ’Yung sa Jamich page po, hindi ko na po hawak ’yun. Na-hack po siya, pero nagpo-post pa rin ngayon kasi may madaming taong nag-akala na ako po ’yung nag-post. Ginagamit ko daw ’yun para i-push ang sarili ko. Hindi po totoo.” (Time to move on. )

Mich on rumors that she cheated on Jam with singer Neo Domingo: “Hindi po totoo. Hindi pa ako ready sa mga ganiyan. Wala pong nanliligaw sa akin… Tropa lang po kami.” (Moving on … )

Mariel de Leon, daughter of Christopher de Leon and Sandy Andolong, on entering show biz: “I’m a bit nervous. My parents are respected actors; there’s a lot of pressure.” (Tough acts to follow. )

Christopher on Mariel’s prospects: “I hope she finds her own niche sa industriya… She also sings very well. I’m sure she’ll make it.” (Keep your fingers and toes crossed. )

Christopher on how he stays strong, while his wife is set to undergo kidney transplant, while his son is recovering from cancer: “I lost 10 pounds … Pananampalataya lang sa Panginoon at suporta ng pamilya at kaibigan.” (Amen. )
