Underling concocts explosive exposé versus boss

Call this gnarly episode, “Revenge of the Downtrodden.”

According to the grapevine, Disgruntled Underling is churning out a scorching tell-all on Bossy Luminary any time soon.

Apparently, DU doesn’t want BL to get away with all sorts of misdemeanors, whether real or imaginary.

DU has dutifully catalogued BL’s past sins through the years, and the explosive exposé will undoubtedly paint a rather unsavory portrait.

Indeed, BL should draft a convincing explanation… Asap! Or hire a good lawyer… pronto!

Pass the popcorn… now!

End game

Hot Hunk finally parted ways with Long-suffering Girlfriend.

To be more accurate, it was LG who dumped HH.

Well, Scintillating Charmer had provided the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.

HH had attempted to seduce SC, who dutifully made a huge fuss about it—complaining vociferously, and vehemently, about the indiscretion. After all, HH and LG’s grand affair was common knowledge.

That sealed HH’s fate.

To think, LG stood by HH’s side at the height of a debilitating and career-damaging scandal.

Fellowship of the ring

Once again, Mediocre Personality, someone who’s completely unqualified for the job, has taken over a post once occupied by Grizzled Oldtimer.

How come no one is raising a ruckus?

Is it because of the much-invoked, and often abused, industry tradition of pakikisama (good fellowship) and smooth interpersonal relationships?

Well, Seasoned Celebrity tried to express opposition, but the criticism was quickly twisted to drumbeat MP’s faltering ventures.
Uh-oh.

Injustice for all

Speaking of another ill-equipped appointee.

Second-rate Celebrity was awarded a plum position recently.

Alas, SC eased out Industry Veteran who was more knowledgeable about the task at hand.

Worse, SC has a rather checkered background.

If only the powers that be had an inkling about SC’s nasty habits, SC would surely end up on another kind of list.

Uh-oh again.

Like the plague

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Colleagues avoid Seasoned Entertainer like the plague.

SE can be incorrigible backstage. SE’s highly touted precocity is teetering perilously toward bothersome and belligerent. Seems SE doesn’t take anything seriously and can be difficult to deal with.

Insiders blame SE’s Meddlesome Lover as the culprit. ML is the classic enabler—not only tolerating but encouraging SE’s bad behavior, longtime pals insist.
