At a high-profile event, GC made the mistake of bragging incessantly in front of Hollywood Luminary, who was sadly unimpressed.
GC kept yakking and yakking.
Self-absorbed GC, however, didn’t notice that HL was bored stiff and was on the verge of dozing off.
HL later complained about GC to Stunned Insider who then instructed underlings to ban GC from future events.
To think HL is one of the nicest people in the biz. Still, HL had no choice but to spew venom because of GC.
GC is really one of a kind.
Junk the junkie
Handlers can no longer hide the secret addiction of Popular Star.
There was a time PS could get away with it.
PS still looked neat and attractive in spite of the nasty vice. But then again, PS is getting reckless.
A production staffer allegedly caught PS in the act of shooting up on the set.
The assistant dutifully informed the bosses about PS’ indiscretion. Now, the entire team avoids working with PS.
Especially since PS is growing erratic these days.
Hide-and-seek
No wonder colleagues no longer trust Veteran Insider.
VI sold expensive baubles to Wealthy Friend.
When WF had the gems appraised, the items turned out to be of dubious quality.
WF swore never to break bread with VI again.
VI was persistent and even showed up unannounced in WF’s ritzy mansion. Shocked, WF made sure to hide every time VI was in the vicinity.
Ouch!
Banished
No one wants to work with Inconsistent Starlet.
Apart from being a lousy, untalented actor, IS’ attitude leaves much to be desired, as well.
IS couldn’t care less if the top bosses are offended. As a result, unrepentant IS was banished from the studio.
IS’s career is now languishing in limbo.
Perhaps IS can always depend on Rich Sweetheart. But will RS remain patient and generous, now that IS is jobless?
Extrajudicial eating
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Coworkers are amazed at how Svelte Personality maintains a trim and fit figure. After all, SP is no blushing novice. Moreover, SP’s appetite is quite hearty.
One time, SP requested for an extra cup of rice for lunch. The staffer did a double take—surmising that SP was only kidding.
SP guffawed: “I’m serious. I’m famished!”
File under U for Unfair.
Life is unfair.
