ANGELICA Panganiban
It’s the talk of the town. Show biz Insider broke up with Big Boss after months of tension.
According to a mole, SI and BB had been quarreling over Controversial Personality, whom they both had the misfortune of working with. SI wanted CP sacked but BB was forced to defend CP, who is “close” to Influential Celebrity.
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, was BB pushed to give up SI?
Bosses’ headache
Scandalous Celebrity’s days are numbered. Insiders say bosses want to get rid of SC, who has become demanding and difficult, and constantly causes problems on the set.
SC has even squabbled with colleagues—including Big Star, who’s the network’s current pet. Bosses need to find a loophole in SC’s contract.
Remember Notorious Personality, who got the boot due to a technicality? SC should not be complacent.
Ballooning hunk
DANIEL Matsunaga
Show biz Insider hand-picked Hunky Actor to play the lead in a high-profile project.
Unfortunately, when the cameras started rolling, HA had gained not a few pounds. Hunky had become Hefty!
To redeem himself, HA slimmed down and is raring to top-bill another big movie that he is bankrolling himself.
But he found another team to work with, no longer interested in collaborating with SI. Well, it’s pretty obvious that the feeling is mutual.
For pits’ sake
Mole is aghast that the publicity slant of a new movie revolves around the star’s armpits.
Mole gasped: “Have we sunk this low?” Yup, it’s the pits.
ALJUR Abrenica
Mutual hatred
Closeted Hunk refuses to guest in Controversial Star’s show. Perhaps he should be told that CS isn’t interested, either.
CS has privately “outed” CH to the Powers-That-Be. Worse, CS almost publicly exposed CH’s dirty bedroom secret, too.
Top of Bandera
The top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera (and why we are moved, if we are moved):
Rocco Nacino na-bad trip, ayaw nang kumain ng tahong (There’s nothing wrong with tahong. Just be careful.)
Ruffa: Hindi ko pinababayaan ang anak ko! (Got that.)
Nadia Montenegro patatawarin si Annabelle Rama kung… (Kung…?)
Kaya hindi pinasalamatan sa natanggap na award; Derek, Angelica matindi ang away (Best to keep those fights behind closed doors.)
JENSEN Tenoso was among Kapuso stars who performed at the Heat Wave Bazaar at the World Trade Center.
Sa gitna ng pinagdadaanan nilang pagsubok; Derek kay Angelica: Matapang ka, ’wag kang susuko! (Let’s see how this one ends. We know it will—after the theater run of her movie with John Lloyd Cruz?)
Hindi raw totoo na ipinagpalit siya kay John Lloyd; Derek: Walang ibang lalake si Angelica (Kitam?)
Derek Ramsay type makasama si BB Gandanghari (This should be fun.)
Derek “pinapak” ng mga lola sa Bicol? (Power to senior citizens!)
Heart negang-nega; Daniel laging napapaiyak (Good training for a movie project.)
Napakadali naman palang kinalimutan si Heart; Daniel Matsunaga may nilalandi sa Bora. (That was quick.)
Kylie nag-iiyak na naman dahil kay Aljur. (Pwede ba ’yan kay Binoe?)
Aljur nakaiwas sa mga nangungurot at nanghihipo. (Don’t bring him anywhere near us.)

Pacman talbog sina Mike Velarde at Eli Soriano. (Sa fame and fortune? Oo naman.)

Sam Milby malaki ang gastos sa US; raraket sa Pinas (Mataas naman talaga ang cost of living dun ’pag walang trabaho.)
Pinagtatawanan ang pagiging relihiyoso; Pacman: Ipagdarasal ko ang mga kaluluwa nila (Kasi naman, you don’t have to carry faith like a cross for all to see.)
True ba, kaya galit na galit siya sa mga bading? Dating asawa ni Miriam Quiambao bakla raw? (Oh snap! We guess that’s one devil’s lie she couldn’t handle.)
Cristine Reyes takot na takot sa demanda ni Ara Mina (Oh, snap #2!)
Medyo umitim, pumayat at fresh na fresh ang itsura ngayon; Matteo Guidicelli mas naging ‘yummy,’ gwardyado kay Maja Salvador (Can you blame her?)

Rhian: Hindi na ako takot! (Kami rin!)
