No-show star banned by studio
It takes a lot for an entire company to boycott celebrities. After all, Media Firm is renowned for being overly friendly to stars—even those from rival studios.
Dazzling Star, however, ruffled not a few feathers in MF. Well, DS stood up MF not just once, but twice.
DS was supposed to guest in a certain program. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement because DS would be able to promote a new project, while MF would get to attract the popular celeb’s loyal fans.
Alas, DS was a no-show on the appointed day.
To add insult to injury, DS’ flimsy excuse came at the last minute.
As a result, DS was banned by MF’s top brass. DS needs to hire a damage-control expert, pronto!
Musical chairs
Glib Personality had been playing a game of musical chairs at work for so long.
GP kept jumping from one company to another—never staying long enough to leave a positive impression in each firm.
A mole insists GP is mediocrity personified.
Former Boss counters that GP was “pirated” by Influential Figure because of certain skills—that colleagues have yet to figure out.
In private, however, it seems FB is relieved to lose GP to headhunters.
Tupperware party, anyone?
Fatal influencer
Controversial Celebrity’s dubious taste in partners has rubbed off on Perky Insider.
PI, who is supposedly from a “good” family, got entangled in an extramarital affair with Serial Philanderer.
CC is undoubtedly a bad influence on IF. CC’s own track record is as checkered as an Indy 500 flag.
CC is drawn not only to married heterosexuals. CC is notorious for breaking up the affairs of gay acquaintances, too.
File under F for Fatal. As in Fatal Attraction.
Laughing stock
Here’s distressing boardroom chatter.
Seems underlings are not impressed with Big Boss’ credentials. They laugh behind BB’s back—dismissing the exec as a nincompoop.
Well, the snobs in the office should realize that educational attainment is not the only criterion for intelligence as far as BB is concerned.
BB might not have stacks of diplomas, but haughty peers should take heed. BB succeeded where others failed—impressing the most important person in the food chain, Wealthy Luminary.
Well, BB’s achievements (and connections) in another field of endeavor were more than enough to gain WL’s complete trust.
Delusional diva
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Insiders are disgusted with Sultry Starlet who throws her weight around as if she were a major star.
SS can be finicky and demanding, according to production staffers.
SS insists on having her own dressing room during shoots. Worse, SS abhors having snapshots taken with fans—as if such photo ops were a huge imposition on her time.
SS seems to believe that she’s as famous as the company’s original Mean Girls.
Talk about delusions of grandeur. SS is nothing but a second-rate, trying hard pussycat.
