Rich exec has bad luck with celebs
Affluent Insider has had a string of bad luck, dealing with high-profile personalities.
AI hired Perky Starlet for a certain task. PS, however, was quite tactless and instead of promoting said project, totally undermined it.
AI was aghast and wanted to dump PS who had just renewed a lucrative deal with the firm.
As such, AI was stuck with PS for the time being.
AI tried to contact Influential Newcomer to fix the mess PS had left behind. Unfortunately, IN’s greedy handlers were a huge turnoff!
Handle with care
Everyone dismissed Charming Hunk as a has-been. In spite of the bum rap, CH managed to bounce back.
How did CH achieve this near-impossible feat? According to the grapevine, Wealthy Benefactor asked High-flying Pal to take care of CH.
Let’s just say HP couldn’t refuse WB whose well-being is now the subject of all sorts of speculation.
HP doesn’t have the chutzpah to break WB’s heart.
Outreach program
There is a disturbing scuttlebutt about Scandalous Insider.
SI allegedly couldn’t help reaching out and touching Handsome Hunk’s family jewels at an event. Thing was, HH cried harassment!
SI landed in hot water.
That’s not the first time such an ugly incident occurred in that sordid party scene.
Lecherous Personality also had the temerity to “manhandle” an underling who was too soused to raise a ruckus.
Reneging renegade
Perhaps there is truth to the rumor that Influential Celebrity is an arrogant jerk.
Admired Luminary’s Trusted Cohort has nothing but harsh words whenever talk turns to IC.
According to TC, power-tripping IC made AL wait in vain, reneging on a promise.
Another Revered Performer had a similarly awful encounter with IC. Now, RP avoids dealing with IC. Once was more than enough, thank you.
Can you blame AL, TC and RP for not sympathizing with IC, who’s now down and out?
Delusional diva
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Despite the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Scintillating Starlet hasn’t changed a bit.
SS has lost a slew of projects after a series of misfires. Still, SS has remained just as demanding and difficult at work.
SS’ handlers told a producer to hire burly bodyguards for a sortie. They were concerned that SS might get mobbed.
When they reached the destination, however, fans snubbed SS. No one wanted to have a snapshot taken with SS.
Rated D for Delusional.
