Prima donna demands finale spot

Kris Aquino: Beyond “dedma”

SEEMS fame has gotten into Popular Singer’s head. At an all-star concert, PS demanded to be the “finale” performer, instead of Senior Colleague. PS refused to go onstage unless the line-up was revised, pronto. The organizers had to give in, but made sure to spread the story.

Discounted gift

Rich Gay is no fool for love, it turns out. Friends thought he was too generous with Handsome Hunk, gifting the latter with a fully furnished townhouse.

Actually, RG had stopped himself from giving HH a house and lot, feeling the guy didn’t deserve it. Says a pal, “RG is fed up with HH, who is very fussy and even played hard to get. RG has no interest in mind games.” In fact, even with the townhouse, RG said, “I only helped with the down payment.” ’Chos!

Playboy strikes anew

Playboy Host has succeeded in hooking Sexy Starlet. He is notorious for winning girls with just one look. Former Costar said she avoided eye contact with PH the whole period they worked together, so she wouldn’t be “hypnotized” into submission. She insisted, “Girls who look into his eyes inevitably fall for him.” Deadly.

Sweet revenge

As they say, the best revenge is to do well. Network Exec had unkind words for Pretty Star when she left the station.

NE purportedly warned PS that her career was going nowhere: “You missed the boat. You’re over-the-hill.” What a pep talk!

As luck would’ve it, PS recently clinched a number of big projects and, to NE’s dismay, is laughing all the way to the bank.

Antisocial

During a location shoot, Beautiful Starlet kept to herself—barely socializing, claiming she felt ill and needed to rest. Well, she wasn’t missed.

Top of the Talk Shows

For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests (And why we are moved, if we are moved):

Rich Asuncion denies that rumored ex Aljur Abrenica is asking her out: “Naging kami ba? Hindi ko naramdaman! Wala, walang ganun!” (Fine.)

Rhian Ramos, asked if she has become allergic to Twitter after her breakup with Mo Twister: “I wouldn’t say allergic; sana lang kapag account ko, ako lang gagamit, ’di ba?” (Tell that to the next guy.)

Jennylyn Mercado, asked if she’s seeing other suitors besides Luis Manzano: “Wala namang masama dun. Single po ako—available!” (Here we go again.)

Kris Aquino on rumors that estranged husband James Yap is dating American-Japanese singer Marie Digby: “Beyond dedma talaga ako! Kung kay P-Noy dedma, mas dedma siya!” (And P-Noy has to get in the picture?)

Jinkee Pacquiao, asked if she has forgiven Krista Ranillo: “Napatawad ko na lahat kung sino man ’yung nakasakit sa ’kin … Kung papansinin niya ako siguro ngingitian ko lang siya. Hanggang dun lang.” (So may nangyari pala talaga.)

Robin Padilla, asked if he’s really a playboy: “Hindi! Ako’y napagbibintangan lamang!” (Good answer.)

Patrick Garcia, asked by ex-girlfriend Jennylyn Mercado about his best memories of their past relationship: “Siyempre ’yung the way kung paano mo ako alagaan.” (She asked that?)
