An idol in dire straits

Our mole said she wasn’t too happy to share with us the latest dilemma Dishy Cad (DC) is facing. We can’t blame our source, really—after all, she’s been the heartthrob’s huge fan since DC began impressing audiences with his wise-beyond-his-years portrayals as a young actor.

But ever since DC’s embarrassing fall from grace, brought about by bad habits and the unprofessional attitude he’s incapable of shaking off his system, DC can’t seem to convince “formerly generous” producers, directors and benefactors to help him recover from missed opportunities and bad breaks.

Recently, DC’s woes escalated even more when he realized he knocked off another one of his current “girlets.” He’s in dire need of dough to keep his head above water. So, his plan B includes asking his income-generating “clients” to keep him company in the wee hours of the night, to “help” him ease the financial strain that resulted from his latest dilemma. A new baby doesn’t come without expenses, right? No wonder his “customers” like it every time DC is in a tight fix—it gets them his undivided attention. For a couple of hours, at least!
