Actress shops only out of town

BB GANDANGHARI: Surprise present photo:RUDY ESPERAS

Perhaps Controversial Star was merely practicing retail therapy after undergoing all sorts of physical, psychological and spiritual debacles recently.

CS was spotted leaving a posh hotel in the province, huge boxes and bags in tow.

Apparently, CS had gone on a shopping spree in a local mall the night before, snapping up fashion accessories and other great buys.

A mole explained that CS couldn’t indulge in mindless shopping back in Manila. Hmm, we wonder why.

Tireless con artist

Insiders thought Flamboyant Personality had reformed. FP allegedly lost the friendship of Beloved Icon over money.

FP had convinced BI to donate to a pet charity. But BI learned that the donation failed to reach the beneficiaries.

CESAR Montano: Subject of rumor

FP tried the same scam on Glamorous Celebrity, who avoided getting conned, thanks to the warning of well-meaning friends.

Now FP is badmouthing GC. Unfortunately for FP, past sins have a way of catching up with… anyone.

Rejected star

Drama Star wanted desperately to be part of an international project.

DS’ Aggressive Manager sent feelers to the production staff, only to be given a harsh reality check. AM was told curtly that there was no role for DS in the high-profile project.

SAM PINTO: No reason to fear Sunshine Cruz

Perhaps DS and AM thought they could throw their weight around, especially now that they are “close” to very Influential Personalities.

After all, DS’ latest achievement in the industry is being gossiped about as the result of pure politicking.

Fake Twit

Award-winning actor Ricky Davao was stunned to discover that a poser had been impersonating him on the popular website Twitter.

“To sound convincing,” Ricky said, “the impostor puts in details about my work (as director of the GMA 7 series ‘Kokak’) and my family life.”

What’s more alarming is that the scammer has started posting “political” statements against President Noynoy Aquino.

“I’d like everyone to know that I have no Twitter account,” Davao said.

Mega, unplugged

Sharon Cuneta has succumbed to the Twitter rage.

As a birthday gift to herself – and to indulge fans – she opened her Twitter account on Jan. 6. The number in the address (sharon_cuneta12), she explained, simply refers to the year she joined Twitter.

ALESSANDRA de Rossi: No thanks

Her Twitter musings show Mega at her most uninhibited, commenting on various subjects, from books and TV shows to bashers and haters.

She tweeted about daughter KC Concepcion’s controversial magazine cover: “She stole my pose, but I think she’s beautiful!”

Mega’s Twitter page has attracted over 70,000 followers.
