Gifted Performer booted from Popular Star’s show
XYRIEL Manabat
Popular Star was to share the stage with Gifted Performer as guest in a concert abroad. They had worked in past shows, so a mole was stunned to learn that PS thumbed down GP and asked for Talented Artist as replacement.
Was it because GP figured in a love triangle with Hunky Guy and someone very close to PS? Nakup.
Drop him!
Pretty Star and Cute Hunk used to be inseparable. As a result of their messy breakup, it was expected that friends would take sides.
True enough, a former ad client was torn as well. An insider claims that a well-known consumer brand has decided to drop CH, but will retain PS as endorser. Now that’s sweet revenge for PS.
Never-ending story
Again, the scuttlebutt is spreading like wildfire: Fledgling Show will soon get the ax and will be replaced by High-rating Program.
FS has lasted longer than predecessors but signs of trouble have emerged, with one of the noisy hosts moving to another station.
Bosses have informed HP stars of the impending changes. But what about the cast of FS? Will they just wake up one day jobless, like previous occupants of the same troubled time slot?
Top of the Talk Shows
For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests (And why we are moved, if we are moved):
Jinkee Pacquiao on criticisms that her recent Mega magazine cover was overly Photoshopped: “Ginagalang ko naman ’yung opinyon nila… ’yung camera ko, meron din akong sariling pictures. ’Yun naman talaga [ang hitsura].” (Si Dingdong Dantes din, ginagalang ’yung opinyon ng MMFF jurors.)
Marian Rivera, asked if she’s a slave to love: “Siya (Dingdong Dantes) ang alipin ko! Syempre may mga pagkakataon na ginagawa ko ’yung tungkulin ko bilang mahal niya, at siya rin naman sa ’kin. So equal lang naman kami talaga.” (Kagalang-galang din na opinyon ito.)
E.R. Ejercito on Kris Aquino’s vocal support of Dingdong Dantes’ bid for MMFF best actor: “Kumare ko si Ms Kris Aquino. Inaanak niya ang panganay ko. Sanay na ako sa kanya at sanay na ang madlang people sa kanya at sa mga statements na ginagawa niya… Congratulations, Mareng Kris! Graded ‘A’ tayo ng Cinema Evaluation Board.” (Politicos, unite!)
Derrick Monasterio on being told by “The Good Daughter” co-star Kylie Padilla that he’s her type: “Echosera!” (Funny.)
Xyriel Manabat, asked who she thinks is the most handsome guy in show biz: “Bata po o matanda?” (High tide or low tide?)
