What’s this we hear that Coquettish Kewpie is livid with Controversial Stalwart?
Apparently CK is under the impression that CS is not a genuine supporter. That CS has been undermining CK’s efforts.
To be fair, CK has benefited immensely from CS’ largesse. Alas, CK made some pretty questionable decisions in the past.
But why blame CS for those missteps?
Well, CS can be a tad competitive. But will CS go to such great lengths and throw a monkey wrench into CK’s well-laid plans?
Hmmm . . .
Crooked
You know what they say about crooks hating fellow thieves?
Menacing Insider is spewing out venom against Malevolent Fiend online.
Curiously, MI is purportedly guilty of the same crime as MF, who has been accused of being a serial abuser.
In the past, MI got in trouble for harassing a naïve newcomer whose relatives turned out to be quite enterprising.
They demanded a hefty settlement from MI, who had no choice but to comply asap.
Mischievous Comrade bailed MI out of the sticky situation.
Boo-boo
Is Controversial Gadfly being careless? Or perhaps CG is simply clueless about the rules in the biz?
CG was spotted patronizing a certain popular product. Problem is, CG is supposed to be the endorser of a rival brand.
According to defenders, CG didn’t buy the item. It was brought by a loyal friend.
Still, CG’s camp should’ve been more discerning and discreet. Well, it seems not all the money in the world can buy prudence.
Grease lightning
It’s hardly shocking that Boisterous Celebrity is acting up, big-time.
Rumor has it that BC’s cohort, Affable Benefactor, is about to get hit by a devastating blow.
No wonder BC is busy greasing up Defiant Rake. Is BC hoping DR would go easy on AB?
Or is BC on the verge of a nervous breakdown? Your guess is as good as ours.
Moody days
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Coworkers suspect Dramatic Artist is in the middle of a major meltdown.
DA has been behaving strangely of late.
There are days DA is amiable and effusive, gabbing with peers on the set all day. But there are also times DA chooses to hide in the dressing room—ignoring everyone in the studio.
DA’s mood swings are hard to predict.
Once the cameras start grinding, however, coworkers can’t help but be amazed by DA’s talent and virtuosity.

Derrick Monasterio on what it means to be a hunk: “Being comfortable in your own body. You can take off your shirt any time.” (Is now a good time?)
