All those florid testimonials from drumbeaters sound suspicious.
Seems Big Bosses have been working overtime to cover up Notorious Star’s many misdeeds at work. But professional hacks can only do so much because NS keeps committing all sorts of bloopers on and off the set.
Incompetence is not NS’ only problem, though.
NS can also be mean-spirited.
One fine day, Veteran Colleague got exasperated with NS’ various foibles. Fed up, VC abandoned ship—throwing the BBs into a tizzy.
Before word could spread, BBs swiftly swept the incident under the rug.
Getting even
Talk about the ultimate revenge.
Grizzled Personality is infamous for past indiscretions. Long-suffering Spouse went berserk and threw GP out of the house. GP had no choice but to shape up.
While GP was recovering from that tumultuous episode, LS found solace in the arms of another partner.
LS got even—in high style!
Dumped
Perky Starlet crossed swords with the wrong coworker.
PS allegedly had a falling out with Mediocre Star. As a result, PS avoided MS and stayed on the opposite side of the set—far, far away from MS.
Aside from the fact that MS is more popular and powerful, PS is also scared of that infamously unpredictable temper.
Last we heard, PS was unceremoniously dumped by the bosses—to please MS.
Secret protector
No wonder Glib Celebrity gets first dibs on all those prime projects.
A mole alleges that GC was the former flame of Top Honcho. Ages ago, GC and TH were a couple.
Fast forward to the here and now.
GC is allowed to get away with all kinds of shenanigans because of TH.
GC committed a monumental boo-boo involving Major Personality, but didn’t get reprimanded by superiors. Turned out GC still has a direct line to TH.
Not-so-great pretenders
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Friends can’t help laughing behind Gifted Performer’s back.
GP looks desperately inane every time talk turns to alleged sweetheart, Talented Entertainer.
Pals snicker because they know the real score: That TE is not the least bit interested in GP.
Curiously, GP is not that enamored with TE as well.
Both TE and GP are head over heels in love with other people (of similar persuasions).
It’s just unfortunate that their buddies can see through their “act.”
