YOU SIMPLY cannot teach old dogs new tricks.
Scheming Veteran is still at it.
SV is deathly insecure, worried that Conceited Coworker, who’s too domineering, would take over a faltering project.
SV conscripted several hacks to disparage CC. While attacking CC, the minions also made it a point to prop up SV—whose cache is swiftly diminishing these days.
As luck would have it, another coworker, Vociferous Personality, ended up the big winner in this rat race.
VP’s star shone the brightest and was noticed not only by the public, but by the bosses, as well.
Meanwhile, SV and CC were left scrambling in the dark.
Rampage
Guess who went amok online recently?
Cantankerous Ingénue went on a verbal onslaught—assaulting a certain unnamed enemy.
The target of, and the reason behind, the rampage remained unclear even after the dust had settled. Apparently, CI was defending Beloved Kin from detractors.
Some netizens backed up CI, while others, as expected, were less than supportive.
CI is notorious for being a tad too opinionated. But in this case, keeping silent (and magnanimous) would be more advantageous—especially for BK.
Desperado
Seasoned Hunk has been feeling “deprived” of late.
Loveless SH was itching to get some action on the set.
Out of sheer desperation, SH turned to a Lowly Staffer for some “helping hand.”
Even though LS wasn’t exactly a stunner, SH still grabbed the opportunity to gratify a festering biological need.
SH took LS home for round two, three and four. Turned out, SH has a fondness for those who are not exactly good-looking. To be fair, SH was attracted by LS’ “scintillating” bod.
Different strokes for different folks.
Dressed to thrill
Speaking of quirks, Famous Pair has a kinky ritual in the boudoir.
Disgraced Luminary gets excited whenever Volatile Partner dresses up as different iconic figures. VP would frequently shop for all sorts of costumes, to fulfill DL’s lurid fantasies.
One time, DL requested for a certain cartoon character. VP scoured the metropolis to find the animated protagonist’s flouncy outfit and golden wig.
DL has always been flaky, but this bizarre proclivity just won the wacko lottery.
Foreign affairs
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Now, this celeb should be considered for the post, secretary of foreign affairs.
Hot Celebrity scored free tickets to the show of World-famous Performer from Gullible Impresario. HC claimed to be a huge fan of WP.
Before GI knew it, HC was able to slip past the cordon sanitaire and met WP backstage. Moreover, resourceful HC got an invite to the after-party.
GI later found out that HC spent the night with WP.
Well, HC is no novice when it comes to such hasty hook-ups. HC once had a scorching summer fling with Hunky Foreigner. Alas, HF was later unmasked as a perv with creepy predilections.
