Envious veteran pads upstart rival’s talent fee
Grizzled Veteran has a huge ax to grind against Gifted Upstart.
A disgruntled staffer claims that GV resents the fact that GU is getting all the big breaks. GV insists that GU doesn’t deserve the good fortune, though.
Thing is, GV has been spreading fake rumors about GU. GV gravely overestimated GU’s supposed talent fee. GV added an extra zero to the figure, says a spy.
A source did a little snooping and uncovered the bitter truth. Turns out GU is grossly underpaid.
Blind fury has pushed GV to triple GU’s salary. Enmity often causes hysterical blindness —and sheer cluelessness.
Budding romance
It’s not a bad romance … it’s a budding affair!
In an out-of-town event, Cute Charmer crossed paths with Glib Hunk. They were both busy with their respective tasks onstage that night. But after the show, they had the “time” to get to know each other.
The following day, their colleagues noticed a marked difference in CC and GH’s demeanor.
Let’s put it this way: They were all aglow like blushing teenyboppers.
Budding na … blushing pa!
Major overhaul
Once again, Beleaguered Firm is the subject of all sorts of intrigues.
BF is purportedly bleeding because recent ventures failed to soar.
Even an expensive partnership with Revered Insider floundered big time.
Now there is talk of a major overhaul.
No wonder Aggressive Player is badmouthing RI.
Thing is, AP’s happy days are numbered, too. After all, there is no place for AP and RI in revamped BF.
It’s true that, when the ship is sinking, it’s every man for himself.
Karma in a jiffy
High-profile Personality felt slighted by Perky Starlet’s callous disregard of a previous agreement.
According to a mole, HP should blame PS’ Assertive Cohort for the fiasco.
AC was the one who put PS in that compromising position. But will HP cause trouble in PS’ life?
The last time a similar case had occurred, the consequences were dire for HP’s enemy.
Nubile Nymphet heartlessly defied HP.
In a jiffy, NN suffered debilitating setbacks that destroyed a non-existent career.
Possession obsession
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Now, here’s a shocker. Gentle and angelic Popular Star frequently turns into a green-eyed monster because of Gorgeous Sweetheart.
Since PS becomes insanely jealous whenever GS romances screen partners, handlers have decided to avoid trouble all together.
GS is no longer allowed to have kissing scenes with fellow thespians. Even if those sequences can be faked, GS’ team is not taking any chances.
Poor GS has no choice but to follow PS’ harsh rules.
It must be love!
