Cutie goes missing to fool around with hunk

HOURS before an out-of-town show, Mysterious Cutie suddenly went missing.

Staffers panicked big time. How could they possibly begin the program without MC?

Quick-thinking Coworker ad-libbed for awhile, to make up for MC’s absence.

Instead of being thankful, MC got upset with QC for hogging the limelight.

QC became more livid, though, upon learning the reason for MC’s disappearance.

MC purportedly went on a date with a handsome hunk.

File under D for “Disappearing Act.”

Double whammy

The idle chatter linking Ambitious Personality with Hunky Dreamboat turned out to be true.

AP and HD have been spotted partying around town. They were seen cavorting in an island paradise, too.

Coincidentally, AP also fooled around with HD’s Assiduous Admirer a few months back.

Talk about hitting two “birds” with one stone.

AP really knows how to snag the hottest guys in Tinseltown.

And these willing “victims” help propel minimally talented AP straight to the top.

Rich and infamous

If there’s a degree in being user-friendly, Savvy Charmer would surely graduate with honors.

SC knows whom to hook up with to climb up the show biz ladder.

SC’s ho-hum career got a much-needed boost after landing Vociferous Insider as an ally.

Dissatisfied with fame, SC targeted Ritzy Newbie who is known to have a big, fat bank account.

Of course, RN instantly fell for SC.

Well, SC doesn’t just want to be popular. SC dreams of becoming rich and famous!

Shocker

Acclaimed Luminary is getting impatient with Vigorous Go-Getter.

AL knows only too well that VG can be a duplicitous backstabber. But what shocked AL was VG’s propensity to “use” people without batting an eyelash.

AL tried to ignore VG’s scandalous behavior. Until AL became one of VG’s many victims.

VG used AL’s name to promote a certain product.

Problem was, VG neglected to ask AL’s permission. AL was stunned to learn about VG’s machinations, after the fact.

On the rocks

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

The whispers are getting louder: Cantankerous Celebrity’s relationship with Moody Partner is headed to splitsville, according to a spy.

MP is upset because CC is always busy at work. MP feels that CC is avoiding domestic duties on purpose.

Top of talk shows

For those who missed last weekend’s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)

KZ Tandingan, who hails from Davao, on Duterte’s personality: “Ngayon, medyo tame na siya. Noon meron siyang show every Sunday …lumalabas ang mga mura niya.” (Cursing show goes national?)

KZ Tandingan

KZ on her upbringing: “’Yung disiplina na meron ako ngayon, ipinamana ng parents ko—not necessarily dahil kay Mayor Duterte.” (Hmmm…)

Freddie Aguilar on Duterte being a fan: “Paborito n’ya pala ang kanta kong ‘Ipaglalaban Ko.’” (No need to wonder why.)

Charo Santos on her acting comeback via Lav Diaz’s “Ang Babaeng Humayo”: “I feel so scared and… excited. It must be the right feeling.” (Mixed emotions.)

COLEEN Garcia

Coleen on the possibility of being Daniel Padilla’s stepsister: “It’s weird… but tanggap ko, if ever.” (And Kathryn Bernardo as sis-in-law?)

Janine Gutierrez on living on her own: “First time kong magkaroon ng sariling kwarto. Tapos, gigising ka na wala pang pagkain dahil ikaw dapat ang magluluto!” (It’s a no-brainer: Learn to cook or go hungry.) TV Patrol, 24 Oras
