No love lost between acting vet and beleaguered colleague

Seasoned Actress (SA) has pulled no punches when she heard that Enterprising Multihyphenate (EM) is in hot water for questionable business practices. EM has been trying to reinvent himself for years, diversifying into more lucrative endeavors where his (limited) acting skills were of not much use.

EM went from “baring and daring” to “wheeling and dealing” in a financially lucrative field where he could put his smooth hustling skills to good use.

Despite his relative success in his newfound venture, however, EM’s first love remains that of being an actor—an undertaking he has repeatedly failed at.

When SA heard that EM was in trouble anew, she was overheard quipping, “I’ve worked with EM in a couple of telenovelas already, and he’s always struck me as ‘ewan.’ A good height and a nice-looking nose are not the only requirements in acting!” Ouch.

TOP OF THE TABLOIDS

This week’s top show biz news from the tabloids (and why we are moved, if we are moved.):

Kathryn Bernardo

• Netizens napa-wow sa swimsuit photo ni Kathryn Bernardo; nabitin sa ‘Boracay vacay.’ (As they say, if you’ve got it, flaunt it.)

• Yorme Isko Moreno walang balak tumakbong pangulo sa 2022: Hindi ko talaga siya ine-entertain. (If he can run this troubled country the way he’s running Manila, Yorme should give it a shot.)

• Ate Guy hindi na umaasang magiging National Artist: Meron pang iba na mas karapat-dapat po. (In the acting profession, nobody comes close to what the Superstar has achieved.)

KC Concepcion

• KC Concepcion hot na hot sa 2021, muling pinainit ang socmed dahil sa beach photo. (It’s a free country, guys. Let her show off those curves if it makes her happy.)

• Catriona Gray iyak nang iyak nang marinig ang birthday message sa kanya ni Sam Milby. (Why cry? Walang gift?)

• Toni Gonzaga dumepensa sa na-evict na PBB housemate: Forgiveness is a gift everyone deserves. (How heartwarming, especially coming from someone who’s known for her warmth.)

• Bea Alonzo mas pagtitibayin ang relasyon kay Lord ngayong 2021: Siya na ang bahala sa destiny ko. (While the Lord is closely affiliated with the Holy Ghost, at least He isn’t known to be fond of, uh, ghosting. Opps! )

Megan Young (left) and Mikael Daez

• Megan Young, Mikael Daez isang buwan maninirahan sa Subic; tuluyan na nga bang iiwan ang Manila? (Can we blame them?)

• Janella Salvador umaming kinabahan nang ipakilala na si Baby Jude sa publiko: I can’t believe you’re mine … (Now this makes “Miss Saigon’s” Jenine Desiderio already a lola … Time flies.)

• BL aktor na si Ali King na kasama ni Christine Dacera sa TikTok video nagsalita na; pinayuhang magdemanda. (This sad story is just getting murkier …)

• Sinu-sino kina Gerald Anderson, Robin Padilla, Piolo Pascual, Daniel Padilla, Cesar Montano at Carlo Aquino ang type dyowain ni Claudine Barretto? (What have we here? A banquet?)
