Breakup pushes gay hunk over the edge

Gay hunk is raring to emerge out of the closet but his parents and handlers are vehemently against the notion. Neither do they approve of GH’s boyfriend, Macho Model. Feeling like Romeo and Juliet, GH and MM have been quarreling incessantly. Crumbling under the pressure, MM asked GH if they could cool off.

GH was depressed and tried to drown his sorrows in liquor. A mole said GH threatened to kill himself after a drinking spree. “GH lay in the middle of the road, hoping to be run over by a car,” the spy recounted. Fortunately, the street was deserted. GH needs help and/or attention, pronto!

Gay-bar hopping

They used to be screen partners. Years later, Matinee Idol confided to former Screen Sweetheart that he’s gay. The enabler that she is, SS took MI to a gay bar, to celebrate. This “outing” was earlier reported by Rushes spies, one of whom said MI became addicted to gay bars after that initial visit.

SS was only too happy to indulge her friend’s fascination for gyrating, scantily clad men. SS and MI are now regulars in seedy gay bars.

Money down

Fast-rising Entertainer earned the ire of a show promoter in a far-flung town.

FE was reportedly over-eager to claim the talent fee for a gig because the producers had failed to hand over the down payment, an SOP in the biz.

FE’s camp was quick to explain that it was the handler who did most of the nagging. After the show, FE was paid in full. Perhaps the organizers merely wanted to make sure they would get their money’s worth, and FE simply didn’t want to get duped.

Secret lovers

Cute Hunk, who had broken up with non-show biz girlfriend, found solace in the arms of Promising Artist. How sweet.

CH’s performance in PA’s project was universally acclaimed. Perhaps both CH and PA had been inspired on the set. CH’s breakthrough role was noticed by big producers who didn’t waste time in hiring the guy.

Classic Greta

Gretchen Barretto sashayed into the set of “Princess and I,” dripping in pearls. Director Francis Xavier Pasion whispered to GB: “The scene we’re shooting is set at night. You are about to sleep. Maybe you should take off some of the jewelry?” Greta retorted in her inimitable fashion: “Is it a sin to wear pearls?”

By the way, some of the pearls were the size of ping-pong balls, related a Netizen who saw the photo online. Uh, Mother of pearls?

Top of the Bandera

The top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera (and why we are moved if we are moved):

Bawal sa kanilang relihiyon ang ‘kahalayan’; Kylie Padilla dedma na sa pagka-Muslim, makikipaghalikan kay Dingdong. (She should be more afraid of her dad.)

Kaya ayaw umamin sa tunay nilang relasyon; Kylie nababahala, hinaharas ng mga fans nina Aljur Abrenica at Kris Bernal? (Fans need to get a grip on reality. Seriously.)

Totoo kayang biglang nagwala sa isang party? JM basted kay Jessy Mendiola, naglasing daw, nawala sa sarili. (Grow up.)

Aiza naduwag, ayaw nang pabuntis sa lalaki. (But that’s the only gender capable of the job.)

Lara Quigaman nagpakuha ng hubo’t hubad kahit buntis (And we’re sure she was gorgeous!)

Ramdam niya na ginagawa siyang parang tuta; X factor finalist Kedebon binigyan ng sosyal na cell phone at iPad ni Martin. (But he got the boot.)

Kathryn: “MU na kami ni Daniel … Magulong Usapan!” (Nice one.)

Hindi pa kuntento sa sangkaterbang ari-arian sa Pinas; Sharon, KC bibili ng bahay sa New York at Paris. (Those can’t be cheap! Business must be good.)

Kung walang ibang babae si Paolo baka siya raw ang may kabit; Lian Paz: “Nakakahiya naman ‘yun sa akin bilang babae at ina!” (Amen.)

Jake Cuenca: Ayoko nang rumampa na labas ang pwet! (E di ’wag.)

Nalamang nagtatampo sa kanya ang Queen of all Media; Sarah Geronimo natakot kay Kris, biglang sumugod sa taping ng “Kris TV.” (Makes you wonder what she does when she’s nagtatampo.)

Heart, Chiz naggagamitan lang, hindi naman labs ang isa’t isa. (As long as the non-feeling is mutual.)

Sharon sa bagong manliligaw ni KC: Lalaking-lalaki! Hindi po siya babae! (My, my! Whatever does that mean?)

Richard Gomez napikon, dinakdakan ang mga tsismosa sa Twitter (Dude, let it go.)

Carl Guevara: Sana sagutin ako ni Kris Bernal sa Pasko! (In this age, that might count as patience.)

Pareho namang nakatikim sina Shaina at Angelica; Lloydie milyun-milyon talaga kung magregalo sa mga nagiging dyowa. (The ladies should enjoy it while it lasts.)

Pinakinggan na raw ng ABS-CBN ang reklamo ng mga fans; Cristine Reyes, ‘negastar’ pa rin, si Angel na ang itatambal kay Gerald sa bagong teleserye. (Karma has a bright side.)

Maxene Magalona hiyang-hiya kay LT kaya ayaw aminin ang relasyon kay Renz. (This can’t stay under wraps, girl.)

Zaijian may bagong crush sa show biz, pero  “secret.” (Good. He’s a child!)

Bukod sa nakaplanong pagpapakasal sa 2013; Carmina atat na atat nang magpabuntis uli kay Zoren (Speechless kami.)

Hindi pa rin matanggap na “anino” lang siya ng Superstar; Ate Vi inggit sa mga award ni Nora? (Oh, but she has pointed out: “Iba na ang mundo ko.”)
