Make-believe ‘konfrontasi’ becomes all too real for combative costars

There was a brewing tempest on the set because of the animosity between Vociferous Veteran and Ambitious Upstart.

Staffers had to walk on eggshells whenever VV and AU were in the same room.

The final straw came when AU asked for special treatment. Alas, VV got wind of it. AU’s request was for the bosses to keep VV at bay. That VV should avoid “getting physical” whenever they had a slaphappy episode.

The next time there was a confrontation scene in the script, things got a tad realistic for comfort.

VV ad-libbed and pulled AU’s hair ferociously. Well, AU lost not a few strands in that “hairy” encounter.

Sibling rivalry

All is not well in the home turf of Ravishing Nymphet.

A seemingly innocent question exposed a raging family feud. Asked about her loved ones, loquacious RN suddenly turned reticent.

Seems RN is quarreling with equally Stunning Sibling. Then again, SS is now making strides in the biz.

Is it possible that RN is just green with envy? Or is it because SS wants to latch on to RN’s bandwagon, to speed up her ascent to the top?

Walk like an Egyptian

Guess who was caught in a rather raunchy bind in the wee hours? A spy spotted Seasoned Insider emerging from a nightspot, where the libidinous could indulge in pink passion. What made the sight extra scandalous was that SI was being escorted by a bevy of beautiful boys to a waiting vehicle.

Yup, not just one, but one dozen! SI looked like Cleopatra surrounded by slinky, studly slaves. Hungry much?

Rated A for Awkward

Giddy Neophyte went on a holiday abroad. Quite by chance, GN bumped into Racy Costar in an upscale mall.

GN was a bit surprised because RC’s Poor Spouse was nowhere in sight. Turned out Amorous Colleague was RC’s traveling, and shopping, companion that time.

GN had to scamper away, to avoid a potentially awkward moment with RC and AC.

GN was stunned speechless—but only for a while, because GN later shared with Chatty Friend the chismis that RC was having an illicit affair with AC.

Match made in hell

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

When it comes to draining the resources of lovers, Grizzled Hunk is a master of the game.

GH’s next target was Mediocre Starlet. GH, however, met his match in MS who wasn’t really that ditzy.

GH romanced MS to make the gal part with some moolah. MS turned out to be cunning as a fox and kept GH waiting … and waiting for nothing. Soon enough, MS got bored and left GH hanging in the air.
