Big star’s big no-no

Standoffish Luscious Star (LS) is known for her gift of gab. She can talk about anything and everything under the sun. But if there’s one thing LS deeply dislikes, it’s a line of questioning related to the absentee father her fans know very little about.

Veteran journo (VJ) learned this the hard way. VJ thought he was close enough to the emotionally distant star to “push the envelope.” So, he tried his luck and began asking questions about LS’ family life. But when VJ mentioned LS’ nowhere-to-be-found dad, LS just clammed up—and was no longer as “accessible” to VJ anymore.
