Controversial celeb’s sudsy soap opera takes an ugly turn

It smelled fishy from the start. After all, Boisterous Celebrity’s latest shenanigan bore all the hallmarks of a suspiciously sudsy soap opera.

Moreover, BC’s latest reinvention as an underdog was hardly convincing to some observers—particularly, Dazzling Maverick.

DM is certain that BC’s team is still at it, fanning the flames of controversy to remain relevant.

Alas, things have reached the point of no return and there is talk that BC’s camp is threatening to publicly shame Faulty Nemesis. BC’s supporters allegedly plan to expose FN’s clandestine affair with a yet-to-be-named Cute Hotshot.

The plot sickens, ahem, thickens …

Trouble-picker

Remember Charming Maven who isn’t really sweet, dainty and genteel?

Apart from being a fire-breathing virago who tramples on Yummy Jock’s fragile ego, CM has a deep, dark secret, too!

According to a mole, CM landed a cushy job because of an illicit dalliance with a married VIP.

Again, YJ managed to attract someone who has a checkered past. Gotta hand it to YJ, who surely knows how to pick trouble.

From loving to bruising

After the loving comes the bruising.

Young Sweethearts’ bitter separation has turned nasty with all sorts of sordid allegations thrown left and right.

Mud was slung, and it was messy. If the scuttlebutt were true, then the adults in this ongoing drama should stage an intervention ASAP.

Instead, Delirious Jouster is adding fuel to the fire, making the dire situation all the more disastrous. Tsk. Tsk.

Out and about

Oopsy-daisy! Handlers should have been more aware of the dangers of unleashing Extraordinary Lothario into the wild—specifically, a no-holds-barred, candid camera setup like a reality show.

In an unguarded moment, Intrepid Hottie and Dashing Lad inadvertently out-ed EL.

Like frat boys, they engaged in locker-room banter. But the trash-talking went sour when IH joked about EL’s, ahem, gender! Worse, DL didn’t defend EL. Instead, DL and IH snickered conspiratorially.

Rated A for Awkward.

Loyalty award

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Mawkish Siren had to learn this bitter life lesson the hard way.

When MS was still earning big bucks, friends would often visit. But when MS landed in hot water, because of a festering addiction, those fair-weather pals vanished without a trace.

Kibitzers used to call them “boarders,” because they practically lived in MS’ home.

Turned out the only person who didn’t abandon MS was the most unexpected supporter. MS used to look down on this buddy who remained loyal, in spite of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
