Dad comes between hunky actor and gay lover
ANNE Curtis: No yaya.
Seems Hunky Actor is singing along with Madonna these days: “Papa don’t preach!” What a perfect song for Father’s Day!
HA flew to an island getaway with friends including Closeted Looker, who’s his special someone now, and a bevy of beautiful girls to act as “beards.”
HA’s parents had long suspected that something was brewing between him and CL but they kept mum.
Apparently, HA and CL planned the holiday to spend “quality” time together. But dear ole dad got wind of the scheme and forced HA to cut the honeymoon short.
Let’s just say the budding romance was nipped in the bud.
Child abuse
CARMINA Villaroel: What is Zoren saying?
Child Star looks spunky and stardom-struck onscreen. Actually, the kid wants—more than anything—to quit show biz.
Seems CS feels tortured on the set of a latest project, primarily because work doesn’t stop till the wee hours. CS told dad: “I just want to be a student.”
Paging child-welfare groups!
Silicone daddy
Remember Sexy Siren, who refuses to be battered onscreen because she’s had all sorts of cosmetic procedures? (She’s worried that her nose, chin or cheeks, not to mention her boobs, may get hit.)
DOLPHY: Stop pressuring the man, everyone!
A mole says SS’ overhaul was courtesy of Handsome Lover. SS and HL have had a long-running, on-and-off romance. He not only stood by her through those countless trips to the surgeon; he also financed the enhancements.
HL’s no sugar daddy; he’s a silicone papa.
Driver sweet lover
Aging Lothario was once in a top studio’s stable of studs.
Since gigs have become all too rare, AL has resorted to peddling flesh. He worked as driver for a rich gay, too.
AL’s wife soon learned about his unscrupulous activities. Livid, she packed her bags and left.
Was that so shocking? Really now.
Selective amnesia
BEA Binene: Lawyer has come to her rescue.
Legendary Beauty grew up in the slums. Nothing the matter with that.
Celebrity Friend used to fetch LB from her house in a depressed area. “That’s why LB ignores me now. She remembers her past every time she sees me,” CF says. “She acts as if she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Actually her legs used to be studded with scabs—from an awful skin disease due to the unsanitary conditions in her old neighborhood.”
‘I’m no DOM’
We received an e-mail from lawyer Ferdinand S. Topacio, who is being romantically linked to GMA 7 teen star Bea Binene. Excerpts:
“Ms Bea Binene is a client of our law office. We assist her pro bono [with] ‘Bea Binene Cares’ Foundation, a charitable corporation for under-privileged children, [her] brainchild. She has become a close friend of mine … and I greatly admire her as an actress and as a human being.
“I appeal to those who have a quarrel with me—whoever they are—and who want to hurt me: Please leave [her] out of it. I am ready for you any time, any place, anywhere. But please do not hurt Bea! She is special to me and I will do everything in my power to protect her.
“It is my fervent hope and prayer that this unfortunate episode will soon pass, and that this will not affect the trust and friendship that Ms Binene and I have for each other.”

Elmo Magalona ang tigas ng ulo; Julie Ann San Jose kawawa (Unless he’s beating her, this is not news.)

KRIS Aquino: Just the way we like her.

O ayan, Carmina, mismong si “daddy” na ang umamin; Zoren kay BB Gandanghari: “Mas gusto kita talaga!” (That interview must have cost a lot. Ang haba ng fallout!)
BB kay Zoren: Parang nablangko naman ako sa tingin mo! (Kitam?)
Hayden Kho baklang-bakla; ayaw na sa mga babae? (No, no … ayaw na ng mga babae sa kanya!)
Disney stars type imbitahan ni Kris sa bahay para kina Josh at Bimby (Ang mahal kaya ng personal appearance fee ng mga ’yan. Iba na talaga …)
Lantad na raw kasi ang kanilang relasyon; Rhian, KC (Montero) bina-bad trip si DJ Mo (Wish we could feel sorry for the guy, but we don’t.)

Kahit daw malaki pa rin ang kanyang tiyan; Sharon: Hindi ko kayang sikmurain ang pulitika! (Ano kaya ang connection ng waistline sa politics?)
Kris kailangang magkadyowa na para umingay ulit (’Wag na lang. Quiet is how we all like her.)
Sarah, Gerald, bawal nang maging sweet sa isa’t isa (Hello, malalaki na ang mga ’yan, ano?)
Biglang nawala sa presscon ng “Daddy Dearest” ng GMA 7; Pauline naduwag. (Toughen up, girl, if you want to stay in this business. It’s not for weaklings.)
Hindi na raw kasi siya pwedeng umurong at baka mademanda; Aiza Seguerra nagpasipsip ng taba, maghuhubad na rin (Let’s presume hard work before lipo.)
Sobrang paggastos ni Kris Aquino tinitira ng mahihirap (Mayaman naman siya eh. Let’s just hope she’s spending her money here.)
Patuloy pa rin ang paglabas ng kanyang mga kaso; DJ Mo may itinakbong pera, ginastos daw kay Rhian? (Puede ba, tigilan na ito?!)
