The cat’s bound to get out of the bag, sooner or later.
Mole claims that Chatty
Newbie isn’t really that interested in Flaky Partner. CN thinks FP is too inconsistent and unreliable. Perhaps CN suspects that FP is not so keen about romance, too.
Away from the cameras, CN is free to pursue the desires of one’s heart. Ditto FP.
Turns out CN is crushing on Big Boss’ Charming Kin.
CN is undoubtedly thinking of the future. CN certainly has brighter prospects with CK than FP.
CK can provide job security in the short term; and a quiet, normal life in the long term.
CN is one smart cookie.
Bigger problems
It was just a random quip, but it was enough to make supposedly Serene Celeb go ballistic.
Well, it didn’t help that the offending statement came from Influential Luminary. SC interpreted IL’s “innocent” remark as an acerbic criticism against Beleaguered Partner.
IL and BP have a long history and, once again, SC’s self-doubt is working overtime.
SC should take it easy.
SC and BP have bigger problems than IL.
Well, their respective careers are teetering on the precipice, for starters.
Careful, careful.
Dethroned queen
Pals are getting impatient with Vacuous Vixen.
VV has fashioned herself as the Queen Bee of her girl group. But then again, there are plenty of usurpers who are eyeing VV’s throne.
On top of the list is deceptively cool and detached Affluent Beauty.
A natural-born bully, VV thinks she can lord it over AB and her posse.
Alas, AB isn’t so chill in real life.
Is a coup in the works?
Will AB kick VV out of their daft little clique?
Foolhardy
Powerful Personality made a major boo-boo by declining to draft a prenup agreement with Captivating Sweetheart.
When PP’s Vociferous Relatives found out about PP’s reckless act, they went through the roof.
Is PP blinded by CS’ seemingly unthreatening and unaffected ways?
VRs are now in a state of panic.
What if CS turns out to be not so naïve and virtuous in the end?
Fool for love or simply foolish?
Transformer
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera.
Change has come.
Coworkers used to avoid Troubled Veteran, who was frequently belligerent and unpredictable on the set.
Worse, TV was notorious for taking advantage of clueless newcomers in sensitive scenes.
These days, however, TV has mellowed considerably.
No longer cranky, TV is now more relaxed, hanging out and chatting with colleagues between takes. More importantly, TV no longer exploits vulnerable coworkers.

Cesar Montano defends his appointment as COO of the Tourism Promotions Board: “Hindi naman po mag-a-appoint ang Presidente (Duterte) kung wala pong nakikitang competency ang isang tao. Probably nakita niya na I could promote our entire country.” (Don’t you just love Buboy’s self-confidence?)
