LOVI Poe quite taken with Echo Rosales.
Beautiful Starlet quickly gained a reputation as a heartbreaker. She dumped Cute Beau to hook up with his lesbian cousin.
Turned out, BS’ mom also has a dicey track record in the romance department—she stole the much younger boyfriend of a flamboyantly Gay Friend.
Not so innocent
Showbiz Insider is alarmed by the inconsistent behavior of Pretty Starlet, who claims to be sweet and innocent.
PS knew that Dirty Old Man had a thing for her, SI related. Still, PS had no qualms about shooting a kissing scene with DOM in her latest project.
Another mole insisted that PS was spooked and now avoids DOM like the plague.
She’s afraid that DOM wants to make a querida out of her. Supporters think she is much too young and beautiful to be caged in DOM’s harem.
Root of all evil
There are many sides to every story.
Showbiz Veteran is huffing and puffing about the shabby treatment received from Wealthy Benefactor, but insiders claim it was justifiable.
CAMILLE Pratts: “I’ll miss him.”
A spy from WB’s inner circle claimed that SV had it coming. “SV had been draining WB’s resources and, unsatisfied, still had the guts to ask for more moolah.”
WB was turned off and, after much prodding from underlings, dropped SV like a hot potato. Naturally, SV was livid.
Bitter rivals
Big Boss is fed up with Industry Insider. BB blames II for the controversies plaguing a recent project.
“II is too laid-back and unwilling to intervene and solve the problems of stars,” a source close to BB asserts.
Perhaps II is acting up because BB has become much too close to another Showbiz Personality.
HEART Evangelista
II and SP are bitter professional (and personal) rivals, that’s why.
Three’s a crowd
Gifted Performer broke up with Hunky Gay because of a kinky deal-breaker.
HG purportedly invited GP to a ménage a trois with another handsome guy. GP walked away but couldn’t stay away for long. Recently, GP was caught emerging from HG’s washroom by the latter’s Shocked Girlfriend.
Top of the Talk Shows
For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests (And why we are moved, if we are moved):
Kris Bernal, asked if she and boyfriend Jay Perillo have broken up: “Hindi na intimate. Wala nang sweet-sweet-an … every time na may away, parang ’di ma-solve kasi may ugali kami na minsan mataas ang pride ko, tapos siya rin mataas ’yung pride niya.” (That’s a no, obviously.)
Kris Bernal on rumors that Jolo Revilla has been waiting for her to become single again: “Nakaka-touch naman ’yun! May naghihintay talaga sa ’kin? Parang ’di naman karapat-dapat … pero ’di ako maka-commit na, dahil wala na akong someone special ngayon, eh ‘Sige, date na tayo!’ ’Di po kasi ako ganun … Tingnan natin kung hanggang kailan niya kaya.” (Nakaka-touch ba?)
MTRCB chair Grace Poe-Llamanzares on other actors, such as Sen. Bong Revilla, taking on the lead role in “Panday”: “FPJ will always be in my heart—the first Panday. I think lahat naman ng gumanap has given the Panday role justice.” (Ilan na ba?)
Sen. Bong Revilla on “Panday 2” leading lady Marian Rivera: “Sabi ko, ‘Buti na lang may Dingdong ka, kung hindi na-Bingbong ka!’ Joke lang!” (Kung makakalusot lang.)
Heart Evangelista, asked if she’s willing to reconcile with Marian Rivera: “If there’s a chance, I won’t hesitate to come forward naman. Para tapos na. I’m always willing naman, especially if the doors are open.” (Ang dami bang nakasara?)
Camille Prats on spending Christmas after her husband’s death: “Mami-miss ko siya. This will be an unusual Christmas for me because he won’t be there … Kailangan kong magpaka-strong … Hindi ako pwedeng magpakita ng kahit anong panghihina.” (It’s okay to grieve; in fact, it’s recommended.)
Eugene Domingo on still being single: “Sa lahat ng blessings ko ngayong Pasko, sa napakagandang takbo ng aking career, ini-embrace ko na lahat ’yan. At sa edad kong ito, napatunayan ko na kapag hindi talaga time, hindi ibibigay ni Lord. Hindi ko na pipilitin.” (Good answer.)
Vic Sotto, asked by Kris Aquino if it’s better to be single than being married: “You should know!” (Witty!)
Maricel Soriano on “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” costar Gabby Concepcion: “Laging guwapo si Gabby. Wala siyang kupas. Noong nagkita nga kami sabi ko kanya, ‘Pepe, ako si Pilar! Naaalala mo ba ako?’” (We bet he did.)
Ryan Agoncillo, asked when he finds wife Judy Ann Santos sexiest: “Tuwing suot niya damit ko.” (Hi-hi-hilarious.)
Lovi Poe on working with her dream leading man Jericho Rosales in “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow”: “Sobrang galing niyang actor. Minsan naiiwan na lang ako na pinapanood ko na lang siya.” (Dapat kami ang manonood.)
Solenn Heussaff on dating an Argentinean football player: “We play together; may bagong sport ako … Masaya ang Pasko ko!” (Purr-vocative.)
