Since I grew up in show biz, I am privy to off-the-record stories.
If you could only hear what I cannot say.
But in the spirit of fun, I will let you in on some intriguing conversations I’ve had with celebs.
Let the guessing game begin:
A sexy star lamented that she’s wary of growing old because her hubby, who’s an actor, might flirt with younger girls.
“I’m almost out of the age bracket that he prefers,” she sighed.
Sadly, love isn’t always heart-shaped. It can sometimes turn into a triangle.

A veteran actress (VA) confronted a pregnant girl who was claiming that VA’s boyfriend was the father of her baby.
I told VA, “I’m sure you were award-worthy in the confrontation scene, just like your portrayals of kontrabida roles.”
VA retorted, “Strange, but it was the girl who was on bitch mode. For a change, I was subdued. Very Jaclyn Jose.”
And the winner is….

A male celeb told me that he was fed up with his girlfriend’s extreme jealousy attacks.
“Even if I’m not fooling around, she keeps doubting me,” he sighed. “Sometimes, I tell myself that I might as well fool around so her doubts will have basis already.”
Brace yourself, girl!

A top actor described to me what his love affair with a top actress was like: “She pampered me, but it felt like I was in a golden cage.
“She’s the type of woman who would spoon-feed you as long as you keep your eyes on her alone.
“She should have made me wear blinders like a horse (laughs)!”
Oops! No horsing around.

I asked an in-demand actor why he nixed an offer to do a dream project.
“There are some people I can’t work with for more than 24 hours,” he explained. “I would rather have peace of mind than pesos on my mind.”
Enough said, too much felt.

Since their marriage was on the rocks, a female celeb decided to get a boob job.
She thought it would be a nice surprise for her hubby.
It backfired instead. The husband got mad.
“You should have consulted me first,” he yelled.
The wifey could only sigh: “But you hardly touch me anymore.”
Pack up, change casting.

Before taking the plunge, a sought-after actor had apprehensions.
“My fiancée is wife material,” he said. “But, since she isn’t the intellectual type, I wonder how I will handle it if we run out of things to talk about.”
Is their marriage just a mirage?

An award-winning actor told me that a female celeb was using him for “display purposes.”
So, when she asked him to accompany her to hear Mass, he just dropped her off and said, “Just call me when you’re done.”
Excellent exit.

A well-loved celeb told me he and his wifey were on the verge of tears when it was time to go home after their much-needed vacation.
“With our hectic schedule, it’s rare that we are able to take a break, just the two of us,” he pointed out. “But, we’re used to being super busy, so we feel guilty doing nothing.”
The trappings of success can sometimes feel like a trap.
