MARIAN Rivera a coward?
Character Actor has seen better days. Once much sought-after, he’s no longer as busy as before.
At a recent big event for his latest movie, CA wasn’t feeling the Christmas spirit. He allegedly got more upset upon seeing the movie poster.
CA didn’t get star billing and was lumped with supporting players. Livid, he staged a one-man walkout to protest the “shabby” treatment.
The sad part was, no one noticed and the party went on.
Scandal flops
Seems Controversial Celebrity wasn’t that keen about hiding this embarrassing secret.
At an intimate party, CC was in a foul mood. People overheard CC complaining that a lurid scandal had yet to hit the tri-media.
Quite tellingly, CC was a major player in the intrigue and was getting impatient, according to our source, who deduced that CC was the “author” of this unsavory intrigue. Mercifully, it flopped big time.
Is this the reason that “new” salacious details are continuously being unleashed on the unwitting public?
Show biz age
Acclaimed Actress was surprised to learn that Experienced Actor claims to be younger than she is.
EA has apparently shaved off five years from his actual age. AA recalls that EA’s equally Popular Son once told her that his dad was two years older than she was.
Busted!
Gifted child
Former Matinee Idol looks as meek as a lamb. Turned out, MI has a kinky habit.
Since MI is quite “gifted,” he reportedly loved flaunting his bare assets in front of friends.
RHIAN Ramos: Is she to blame?
Whenever high on drugs or booze, MI would insist on going au naturelle, showing off the family jewels. “As big as a newly born puppy,” is how a witness puts it.
But the witness did not specify what breed.
Tikoy still ticked off
Filmmaker Tikoy Aguiluz has filed two cases against the producers of “Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story,” at press time still an entry in the ongoing Metro Manila Film Festival.
Last week, Aguiluz filed a criminal case in Taguig, claiming violation of intellectual property rights. He earlier filed a libel case in Parañaque.
Aguiluz wants his name deleted from the movie posters and other promotional materials, claiming that the finished product is no longer his creation.
At the same time, he’s asking that the “director’s cut” be released to him, for submission to festivals abroad.
Meanwhile, the Intellectual Property Office on Friday granted Aguiluz’s application for a Temporary Restraining Order against the film producers. According to Aguiluz’s camp, “The producer and the cinemas must abide by the TRO, or face sanctions.”
George Michael ‘better’
VIENNA—British singer George Michael has been discharged from the Vienna hospital where he has been confined for the past month and is due to fly back home for Christmas, Austrian media reported Thursday.
Michael, 48, who had been in intensive care with a severe bout of pneumonia, left hospital on Friday morning and was taken by limousine to Vienna airport, the Oesterreich tabloid reported, citing hospital workers.
“He is a lot better—so much so, that he can fly,” the paper quoted one hospital employee as saying on its website.
Contacted by AFP, Vienna’s general hospital (AKH) declined to comment.
The former Wham! singer was forced by the illness to postpone the rest of his “Symphonica” tour, after having performed 45 shows. He had been due to give a concert in the Austrian capital when he was admitted to hospital. AFP
