Talk about hitting the jackpot.
According to the grapevine, Sultry Starlet just scored big with a real estate deal.
Well, SS has always had a brain for business (and a body for, well, sin).
SS spruced up an old place and asked millions of pesos from a willing buyer.
Thing is, SS didn’t really spend that much to acquire the property.
Insiders insist that the mansion was a “gift” from a special someone—Wealthy Celebrity.
But then again, SS also had to “work” for it somehow. After all, it’s no “walk in the park” being involved with WC.
Hard labor, anyone?
Birds of the same feather

Ditto Reality Seductress.
And these HM would move heaven and earth to meet SN and RS. In fact, they wouldn’t mind parting with moolah to hobnob with SN and RS.
Alas, SN and RS don’t party that way.
Insert frownie here.
Limbo rock
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Poor guy is forever stuck in show biz limbo.
Although Luckless Charmer had topped a reality tilt, handlers failed to parlay the meager victory into long-term success.
Those in the know suspect that LC’s Ardent Supporter is the jinx.
AS can be abrasive in cinching projects for LC.
Indeed, AS can be meddlesome. Worse, AS seems to be under the (false) impression that LC is popular and frequently asks for exorbitant talent fees.
File under D for Delusional.
