Admired Insider would do anything to fulfill Current Sweetheart’s dreams of stardom.
Blinded by love, AI kept building up CS at the expense of good friend, Beloved Celebrity.
Soon enough, BC noticed that AI was playing favorites.
BC felt slighted. Is this the end of the once-beautiful relationship between AI and BC?
Or was the concocted tiff just part of the master plan?
AI’s team wanted to make sure that CS would hog the spotlight during a splashy affair. The scheme didn’t exactly work because, last time we checked, CS was still on the D-List.
Extra mile
Pushy Relative wanted to ensure the success of Young Personality’s latest project.
PR put in millions into the doomed venture. Alas, all that money, which was used to boost sales, didn’t help much.
PR should have set aside an additional sum and rented buses to make sure that fans would show up at the venue.
Sadly, PR was too stingy to go the extra mile, resulting in one of the year’s biggest flops.
French leave
Glamorous Celeb invited equally ritzy friends to a glittery event.
OFFICIALLY, A COUPLE Singer Ken Psalmer (left) and comedian Arnell Ignacio are overjoyed about their engagement. Facebook
Well-meaning GC espouses several noteworthy causes and wants to introduce them to wealthy pals.
GC’s latest project, however, tackles poverty, deprivation and social inequity.
Perhaps the realities of life were much too harsh for GC’s well-heeled buddies.
Since eagle-eyed GC was no longer around, they tiptoed out of the venue, one by one.
Was it a walkout or the walk of shame? Some people can’t handle the truth.
Shared secret
Powerful Colleagues share the same secret: They are both hiding in the closet.
PC1’s Estranged Spouse suffered in the loveless union and their marriage soon went pfft.
ES eventually found happiness away from PC1’s complicated issues.
Meanwhile, PC2 has chosen to live a lie with Starry-eyed Partner.
PC2 and SP cannot reveal the truth because it could ruin their common dreams, a source said.
This fragile “House of Cards” could come crashing down any time soon, though.
Double duty
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
MARK Herras’ status as single dad shouldn’t discourage prospective girlfriends.
No wonder Hot Hunk is living the high life; he is supported by not just one, but by two gay benefactors from the worlds of show biz and politics.
Since HH is the new apple of the eye of Influential Insider, he never runs out of projects in spite of dubious acting skills.
HH is also a favorite playmate of Closeted Honcho.
CH allegedly showers HH with gifts—in cash and in kind. Is this the reason why HH brandishes expensive gadgets these days?
Alas, there are strings attached to HH’s dalliances.
CH and II require that HH remain single. Having a girlfriend is a deal-breaker.
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):
Maegan Aguilar on why she and her father Freddie Aguilar clash: “Because I’m exactly like him … no holds barred.” (Welcome to World War III.)
Freddie on the one good thing about his rift with Maegan: “She decided to go solo, which I think is good for her.” (Blood … water … You know the drill.)
Winwyn Marquez, asked if Mark Herras is courting her: “I am not ready to go into another relationship because I just came from a serious one.” (Is that the final answer?)
WINWYN Marquez is not ready to get into another relationship.
Winwyn, asked if she’s open to suitors who already have children (like Mark). “If you really love a person, you’ll accept everything about him. It’s not the child’s fault.” (Wise. And obviously speaking from elders’ experience?)
Alma Moreno’s love advice for daughter Winwyn: “Just enjoy … For as long as you are focused on your work.” (Did mom follow the same tip?)
Kylie Padilla on her short-lived romance with Matt Henares: “He’s far away and I want to focus on my career. I have a thirst to improve myself.” (Quench that thirst. Good luck!)
Arnell Ignacio on proposing to his boyfriend, singer Ken Psalmer: “I can’t contain what I am feeling.” (Let it go! Let it go!)
