Well, it’s not exactly the first time that Vociferous Personality was caught in a fib.
Idle chatter spread like wildfire, that VP bagged a lucrative deal with Floundering Firm.
VP’s minions even turned to Controversial Celebrity to lend some credence to the gossip. Unfortunately, CC isn’t exactly known as a paradigm of moral integrity and uprightness.
As coup de grace, Big Boss of FF denied the scuttlebutt vehemently.
BB’s lieutenants have no idea where the rumor came from, but suspect it emanated from VP’s camp.
VP’s supporters had to resort to spinning their own yarn.
After all, no one—not even the most gullible sycophants—believes in VP’s tall tales anymore.
Unlikely favorite
Now, here’s a head-scratcher.
Top Honcho’s new favorite underling, Glib Insider, goes against the usual suspects’ profile.
For starters, GI is not as gorgeous as previous faves.
No, it’s purely professional… no hanky panky there.
So, why is TH smitten with GI? Could it be because GI is buddy-buddies with people who are TH’s possible prospects?
So, is TH enamored with the contact list of GI’s phone then?
Uh-oh.
Censors chief
Who knew Popular Star had the makings of a Censors chief?
At a splashy event, PS gabbed freely about Former Sweetheart.
When the news stories came out, PS had a sudden change of heart.
PS asked Powerful Handlers to pull the plug on the imagined fall-out from the non-issue.
PS actually had the gall to ask media outfits to kill the non-story.
Are we back to the martial-law era now?
Wigwam
Flamboyant Luminary has a deep, dark secret.
Years of abuse (due to unabated use of spray net, hair dye and other chemicals) have left FL’s tresses damaged beyond repair.
FL is balding.
To hide the receding hairline, FL has relied on wigs and extensions.
But then again, you can keep on fooling the public forever, but how long can you deceive yourself?
Desperate FL has no choice but to find a more permanent solution to the festering problem.
Hunk of ham
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
It’s that time of the year again… of serving queso de bola and Christmas ham!
But the cheesy career of Hammy Hunk will never be in season, it seems.
HH remains hopeless as an actor. Problem is, HH’s ego is as bloated as his talent is deflated.
HH turned off a producer, big time.
HH refused to audition for a role—insisting that he’s way too famous and too experienced to try out.
No wonder HH is often unemployed these days.
