Hunky actor’s handsome friend makes leading lady feel left out

ANNE Curtis: Is Lea Salonga jealous of her? What!?

If Hunky Actor and Leading Lady lacked chemistry onscreen, it could well be because the guy was distracted while they were shooting.

On the set outside Manila, away from prying eyes, HA felt comfortable (and audacious) enough to bring Handsome Friend along.

LL felt left out because HA and HF were constantly canoodling, unmindful of the cast and crew. On more than one occasion, HA sat on HF’s lap! Understandably, LL found it nearly impossible to fake “desire” for HA.

LL’s supporters were not surprised when the doomed project flopped.

Publicity hounds

So much for secrecy. This dynamic duo has given new meaning to “double talk.”

Pretty Personality insists she’s “publicity shy,” but Assertive Handler has been cranking up a well-oiled hype machine – to prop up both their careers, no doubt.

In a recent event, AH whispered to TV crews: “PP is backstage. Talk to her and make it appear like an ambush interview.”

AH’s staff told other reporters that only TV crews could approach PP. The discriminated media people scoffed: “We’re not even interested in her!”

Notorious

Former Starlet has built a nasty rep. She got in trouble for “impersonating” Glamorous Actress and Sexy Star in the past.

Now, FS is stealing the Influential Husband of Popular Star. FS was spotted having dinner with IH in a posh hotel.

PS’ friends are bristling: “Doesn’t he have better things to do than run around with women like that?”

Forgetful star

Veteran Star couldn’t understand why Seasoned Actress is badmouthing her. When SA was down and out, VA was among those who rushed to her aid.

“SA’s appliances were about to be repossessed,” a mole recalls. “She asked a mutual friend to approach VS for a loan.” VS willingly coughed up the cash, but later felt betrayed.

DANIEL Matsunaga back home in Brazil

“SA is so forgetful,” the mole claims. “VS even allowed SA to crash in her home once.”

Poison duo

Flamboyant Personality supposedly teamed up with Controversial Celeb to disparage Famous Star.

Could it be because FP is envious while CC is insecure of FS’ success? Was the poison duo the source of the rumors linking FS with Married Boss?

Top of Bandera

The top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera (and why we are moved if we are moved):

Hayden Kho nagtaksil daw kay Vicki Belo? (Of course not! He’s probably just helping make some noise about her new web program.)

Sey ni Hayden: Belo may ibang lalake. (Sey ni Belo, “Please don’t put Hayden in a bad light.” Tomorrow kaya, bati na sila?)

Vicki Belo kailangang mauntog nang malakas. (Actually, we heard she had a hot date—abroad ha!

Sa pagbabalik ni Hayden sa pag-arte: Talaga? Good luck sa kanya – Katrina Halili. (Good luck to everybody!)

Raymond Gutierrez inalok ng ‘date’ ni Liz Uy. (Should we be concerned?)

James Yap kinawawa raw ni Kris at Boy. (But who laughed all the way to the you-know-where?)

Angel Locsin nahawa na sa kalokohan ni Pokwang. (Maybe it’s always been there; Pokwang merely smoked it out.)

Daniel Matsunaga bumalik na sa Brazil. (With or without whom?)

CRISTINE Reyes crazy in love?

Cristine Reyes baliw na baliw kay Rayver. (Kami hindi!)

Kaya raw biglang nagmaldita at nagmaasim, Lea Salonga inggit na inggit sa boses ni Anne Curtis. (This must be a joke.)

Ynna Asistio kumambyo: Hindi ko tinawag na bugaw si Annabelle Rama. (Not in Tagalog, Your Honor!)

Kaya ayaw pang bumalik sa pag-aartista; Regine: Baka pintasan lang ako!’ (Kasi naman…)

Grace Lee: Sobra talaga akong nasaktan—sa article ni Ellen Tordesillas na she sees herself marrying P-Noy daw. (One statement too many.)

Jennica Garcia: Gusto ko nang mag-asawa at magka-anak. (Speechless kami.)

Kaya raw hindi nakakabuo ng anak, honeymoon nina Mariel at Binoe laging ‘minamalas.’ (We’re not holding our breath; it’s OK.)
