Gifted celeb may become homeless

JENNYLYN Mercado and Dennis Trillo are reunited … on the small screen.

Was it a case of too much, too soon? Perhaps Gifted Celebrity thought that the good times would last forever. A shopaholic, GC lived the high life. Until reality caught up with GC.

GC is now deep in hock. Worse, GC is in danger of losing a home built with blood, sweat and tears. GC is currently working double time to make ends meet.

Highs and lows

Showbiz Scion is a notorious stoner.

(It must run in the family. Other relatives have the same weakness.)

In the middle of a shoot, SS vanished from the set. Staffers found SS catching Zs in one dark corner.

SS reeked of weed, a spy said.

The shoot was delayed because it took a while before they could rouse SS from deep slumber.

Troublemaker

Seasoned Thespian has earned a nasty reputation as a rumormonger and troublemaker in the biz.

ST stirs all sorts of intrigues in the pot.

ST’s fave modus is to pit perceived rivals against each other.

Not so long ago, ST unleashed disparaging gossip about Acclaimed Artist, hoping that Savvy Insider would take the bait.

Fully aware of ST’s game plan, SI kept mum.

In the past, ST tried the same trick, attempting to drive a wedge between SI and Loyal Friend but failed.

Big bully

During a splashy gathering, Inquisitive Insider kept asking Cute Newbie about past intrigues.

CN got annoyed and complained to Pushy Parent. Seething PP confronted II.

PP bullied II, who naturally got spooked. After all, PP cuts a rather imposing figure. As coup de grace, PP threw II out of the venue.

Trivial pursuit

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

• Perky Starlet can’t help blabbing about the most trivial matters.

• PS relishes being the center of attention among peers and would regale them with no-holds-barred stories about colleagues.

• PS crossed the line by yakking about Charming Costar, claiming she felt CC’s “family jewels” during an intimate scene. “CC is quite prodigious,” PS told pals.

• No wonder Famous Star, CC’s sweetheart, hates PS’ guts.

• Moreover, PS can’t resist dishing about Popular Relative’s various flaws and faults.

• File under C for chatterbox.

Top of the Talk Show

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

LUIS Manzano is not the subject of an IG post on karma.

• Jiro Manio’s foster father, Andrew, on the young actor’s wish to see his Japanese biological father: “He is depressed. He was hoping his [Japanese] grandmother would be able to help. But we got the wrong number.” (That ship has sailed. Move on.)

• Ai-Ai de las Alas on helping Jiro, who played one of her children in the “Tanging Ina” franchise: “Now, that he needs it, I am here to help.” (How sweet it is to be loved by Ai.)

• Dennis Trillo, asked if there’s a chance of getting back together with ex-girlfriend Jennylyn Mercado: “It’s possible, but let’s not jump the gun.” (Staying tuned. Where’s my popcorn?)

• Jennylyn, also on the same issue: “I don’t know. I don’t even have time for myself.” (Et tu? By the way, they have a new show together: “My Faithful Husband.”)

Jennylyn on netizens saying that her Instagram post about karma is a dig at ex-boyfriend Luis Manzano: “I have no ill feelings against anyone.” (If you say so.)
