TALK about a rara avis.
Insiders are shocked because Dashing Hunk claims to be a virgin—specifically, when it comes to gay benefactors.
Although he’s had plenty of girlfriends, DH insists he has never had close encounters of the third kind—unlike most of his peers.
Is it because Concerned Kin guards DH like a hawk?
CK knows only too well how dangerous show biz is for naïve young men. CK has asked Longtime Buddy to keep an eye on DH, too.
Even though DH often hangs out with all sorts of colorful characters, he has remained, ahem, “untouched.”
Hmmm…
Too young
Calling Bantay Bata.
Underage Charmer is the latest victim of the sex video epidemic.
UC is way too young to get entangled in such a salacious scandal, but it seems predators are simply too brazen these days.
UC earlier got in trouble after a supposed photo of him fooling around with another young man circulated online.
But this latest intrigue is far more damaging.
Poor kid needs a break from all these appalling rumors.
Breaking bad
No wonder Troubled Cutie is having a hard time recovering from a nasty vice.
The entire clan is dependent on TC, who often had to work double time to pay the bills.
Pushed to the edge, TC rebelled by turning to illicit substances.
Alas, Close Relative is similarly hooked. CR gives new meaning to the term “bad influence” and keeps TC mired in drugs.
Well-meaning supporters should keep CR as far away from TC as possible.
True romance
As a sign of their true love, Influential Personality and Secret Lover used their names to christen prime property.
All good things must come to an end, though.
They eventually had to part ways and the “conjugal” asset was sold and renamed with dispatch.
Still IP insisted that passionate romance with SL was the real deal.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be.
Beautiful bully
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
If looks could kill, Sultry Celebrity is surely one fatal femme.
Coworkers swear that SC is a certified bully. SC drove similarly Vociferous Colleague to the brink of insanity.
SC kept pestering VC, who eventually scampered away.
Colleagues, who witnessed SC’s uncouth behavior, are scared stiff.
They are aware that SC is chummy with the bosses, who look the other way and ignore all those disturbing incidents.
Top of talk shows
