Frenemies warring over moolah

This not-so-dynamic duo used to be tighter than a society matron’s Botoxed face.

But then again, Flamboyant Celebrity got peeved big-time with Handsome Cohort. Apparently, FC listened to intrigue-mongers and got insecure because HC was earning more.

FC thought they were equal partners in each endeavor. Turned out it was every man/woman for himself/herself.

FC understandably raised hell.

Competition reared its ugly head once again.

Missing bestie

How the mighty have fallen!

Cantankerous Personality must really be in dire straits.

CP has been pestering Prodigious Insider for a much-delayed collaboration. Thing is, CP wants to headline a project that is destined to fail.

Let’s just say it will not do CP any favors. After all, the venture will once again expose CP’s incompetence in public.

Moreover, CP used to snub PI and company not so long ago. But when the tides turned, PI suddenly became CP’s long-lost bestie.

Twinkie

Seems this onscreen romance has turned into a real-life scorcher.

Still smarting from a disastrous affair, Hot Hunk purportedly had a fling with Neophyte Costar.

Although NC is much younger compared to HH’s Previous Lover, the closeted twink is just as aggressive.

No wonder HH was able to bounce back swiftly from a broken heart.

HH, however, adamantly asserted that NC didn’t cause the messy breakup with PL.

Hmmm…

Humble pie

Although it was a long time coming, the comeuppance was still much-deserved.

There was a time Powerful Player lorded it over the scene.

PP, who was cruel to underlings, got away with murder because of Influential Benefactor, who was a classic enabler. PP destroyed a number of lives (and careers) in the mad dash for infamy.

Alas, IB inevitably got sacked. Needless to say, PP soon followed suit.

Karma served PP a hefty slice of humble pie.

Loyalty award

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Seasoned Thespian is still hurting over the shabby treatment received from former coworkers.

ST stood by Old Company in good times and bad, through thick and thin. OC’s top brass, however, failed to reward ST’s subservience.

ST felt slighted because OC’s reps vanished in the middle of a debilitating scandal. Worse, OC’s minions kept promising lucrative deals that led nowhere.

Naturally, ST decided to bolt from OC.

So much for loyalty?
