Wanted: perfect lover, er, cohost

They seemed like an odd couple.

Not a few insiders scratched their heads when Controversial Star openly pursued Notorious Host. According to a mole, CS wanted NH to sign up, not as a partner in life, but as cohost in a new project.

The plan, however, fizzled. Did NH scamper away quickly when CS proved too aggressive in the pursuit?

Bosses thought of substituting Upstart Anchor for NH. CS allegedly rejected the idea. Perhaps UA is too hoi polloi? Too green? Too plain? Not hunky enough?

Now, CS is eyeing a new possible target, High-profile Personality who suddenly became available in both personal and professional fronts. Perrrfect.

Bad boy no more

Handsome Hunk used to strike fear in the hearts of gays. HH is notorious for a violent streak, especially when under the influence.

Former Gay Lover suffered a few bumps and bruises in the hands of HH. Starry-eyed Gay, however, insists that HH has reformed. “He’s just misunderstood,” SG insisted.

Changing face

Just in time for a series of TV guestings, Scandalous Star supposedly underwent a few cosmetic enhancements.

Comparing old and new photos would show that SS has a lot more kissable lips now.

Apparently, bee-stung lips are required to confront the slew of intrigues “concocted” for SS.

Billing war

Is it true that Pretty Starlet got insecure when she saw the credits of a new project?

Quite understandably, Senior Star was prioritized over PS. But what apparently irked PS was that Beautiful Rival got star billing! Is that the reason PS threw a diva fit?

And was it BR who complained to their bosses about PS’ prima-donna behavior?

Mommy, interrupted

Drama Actress was dealt a major blow recently. She had been hoping, for the longest time, to get pregnant and experience the joys of motherhood again.

DA reunited briefly with Ex-Partner, with whom she has remained friends. Unfortunately, she suffered a miscarriage.

In spite of the heartbreaker, DA honored her show biz commitments.

Jackson outtakes

LOS ANGELES—Lawyers for Michael Jackson’s doctor want access to raw footage used for the star’s posthumous concert film, “This is It.”  But Sony Pictures is fighting the request.

Lawyers for Dr. Conrad Murray and Sony attorneys are due in court Thursday to argue whether material should be turned over. The Sony team has filed hundreds of pages of documents arguing against the release.

Prosecutors plan to use clips from “This is It” to show Jackson was in good health just before he died. The defense wants to show otherwise.

Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s death from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives. His trial is set for September. AP
