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.

Top of talk shows
For those who missed last weekend’s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)
President-elect Rodrigo Duterte on Vice Ganda: “He’s the darling of the people.” (With all due respect, Mr. President-elect, not all the people po.)
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 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 on her father courting Karla Estrada: “It’s good to see my dad happy. He has been single since I was 9. I’m 23… so it’s about time!” (Never too late.)
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?)
Solenn Heussaff, asked if anything in her life has changed after marrying Nico Bolzico: “Normal lang! Naka-live in kami for five years, so wala talagang naiba.” (Oo nga naman.)
Charice on people saying he looks like Sandro Marcos: “I don’t mind!” (Hope the feeling is mutual.)
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
