Imaginary fling boosts sinking tandem

It smelled fishy from the start.

All of a sudden, Attractive Gent was rumored to be the new paramour of Winsome Personality.

It was surprising because AG was supposed to be involved with Alluring Beauty, while WP is the apple of Sizzling Maverick’s eye.

So why the sudden romance rigodon?

Is it a last-ditch effort to save AG and WP’s sinking partnership?

Well, it kinda worked.

The intriguing scuttlebutt bought the duo a little time. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to prevent a monumental disaster.

Instant makeover

Age has caught up with Jovial Playboy.

There was a time JP could confidently face the public even after an all-nighter. JP, however, could no longer rely on God-given good looks alone.

After traveling for hours, JP appeared before a crowd—straight from the road, so to speak. Sans makeup, JP seemed sickly pale and haggard.

Evidently, the faux pas didn’t go unnoticed.

Next time JP hobnobbed with fans, after a l-o-n-g trip, the glam team was ready: JP was heavily dolled up. The stylist went hog wild with the concealer—even JP’s lips looked a tad too pink and luscious.

Make … Over!

Crossfire hurricane

Charismatic Superior went berserk again.

CS openly berated treacherous minions who apparently sided with Cantankerous Gadfly.

CS and CG’s animosity has been festering for far too long.

It was only a matter of time before it would explode—and those gaudy groupies were unlucky enough to get caught in the crossfire.

Well, they should try to steer clear of trouble. When the titans clash, it’s best for mere mortals to take cover …

Performance enhancer

Roguish Dreamboat has a naughty little secret.

Eagle-eyed observers have noticed a glaring inconsistency in RD’s scantily clad photos.

They’ve pointed out that RD’s family jewels come in various degrees of tumescence, leading the admirers to surmise that the guy is hooked on certain enhancements.

Is RD guilty of padding his natural treasures?

Ahem.

Stag attraction

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Don’t count out Maturing Artiste yet.

Even though there are younger nymphets on the scene today, MA is still very much in demand.

MA needs to work double time because Mercurial Partner turned out to be a dud. Now, MA is making hay with a secret sideline.

Libidinous lads recently hired MA, to act as the surprise star of a stag party. MA earned a cool million bucks for the gig. Tax-free!

Top of the show biz news

For those who missed last weekend’s show biz news on TV (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

Sarah Geronimo on why the title of her coming concert, “This Is Me,” is important to her: “Tumatanda na rin tayo so importante talaga na maging responsible; na matuto at mag-decide on your own sa lahat ng bagay—sa trabaho, repertoire, personal life.” (Acheche …)

Sarah on having James Reid and Daniel Padilla in her coming concert as guests: “O ’di ba, pabata nang pabata!” (Ho-hum.)

Bianca Manalo on being stranded for hours in the sea, after the boat she was on capsized: “Pumasok na sa isip ko na baka hindi ko na makita ang family ko. Sabi ko, ‘Lord kung ito na ’yun, so be it … Then, eventually, the rescue team came.” (Prayers can move mountains.)

Bianca on surviving the ordeal: “Instead of wondering kung bakit ko ’to pinagdaanan, ang iniisip ko, why do I deserve to be given a second chance? ” (Amen.)

Bianca Manalo

Anne Curtis, asked if she’s pressured to start a family: “Darating din ’yan. Pero if God gives it at the right time, it’s a blessing. Being a mom, you have to be stable, mentally, financially …” (Korak!)

Nadine Lustre is still hopeful that she will star in the movie “The Nurse,” despite director Jun Lana tweeting that it’s not happening anymore: “Tingnan po natin … Schedule is medyo tight kasi. Pero it’s a good material.” (Moving on.)

Derrick Monasterio on his chemistry with “Almost a Love Story” costar Barbie Forteza: “Nilalagyan ko ng emotion ang lines, tinitignan ko ’yung mata niya and binabalikan ko lahat ng experiences namin before.” (Method acting?)
