It was not Enterprising Reporter’s first distressing encounter with Visiting Artist. Still, ER gave VA a second chance.
ER attended a huge event for VA and interviewed the celebrity’s Unassuming Elder.
From out of nowhere, VA’s handlers, including Pushy Relative, cut in and ended the conversation. “This is not allowed,” they insisted.
Annoyed by the rude interruption, ER wondered if press freedom had just been abolished.
Why are these people extra paranoid whenever journalists ask about VA’s family tree? Is there any cause for concern?
Rudeness redux
That was ER’s second bad experience with the same high-flying group.
ER was earlier promised an “exclusive” chat with VA. ER waited for six hours, but when the moment finally arrived, VA’s handlers were suddenly in a rush to leave the venue.
Breaking bad
The incident reminded witnesses of the New Lover of another Talented Celebrity.
NL is famously difficult and demanding as well. Well-meaning and respected observers suspect that NL is a bad influence on TC, who has changed for the worse.
They noted that TC had severed ties with old, trusted confidants.
Without intervention, TC is bound for a downward spiral, like other gifted youngsters who had too much fame, too soon.
Delayed dismissal
Troubled Personality, who got entangled in a very messy affair, was about to be sacked by home studio.
For some reason, TP’s departure was blocked—and curiously enough, the same people that TP had offended prevented the dismissal.
Are the “protectors” afraid that TP would open a can of worms if further aggravated?
As luck would have it, the Big Boss who was supposed to sign the walking papers was away at the time. Thus, TP got a reprieve… for now.
Waiting game
Hardworking Journalist arrived at a splashy event four hours ahead of schedule, to chat with Popular Star.
HJ’s initiative was all for naught, however. PS’ handlers gave HJ the runaround. Apparently, PS didn’t want to be disturbed. Has PS become swell-headed?
Mom twice over
LOS ANGELES—Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon has given birth to her first child with new husband Jim Toth. Her publicist announced Thursday the baby boy would be called Tennessee James.
Witherspoon, who won her Oscar in 2006 for her role in “Walk the Line” is doing well, as is the infant. “The entire family is thrilled,” the publicist said in a statement.
The actress was previously married to actor Ryan Phillippe and has two children with him. The couple divorced in 2008. AFP
Top of the Bandera
The top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera and why we are moved if we are moved.
Daniel swerte sa career, malas kay Kathryn? (Congrats… and uh-oh?)
REGINE and Aga enjoyed kissing scenes?-
Walang naramdamang selos sina Ogie at Charlene; Aga, Regine nag-enjoy naman sa sandamakmak na laplapan. (Too much information! Ew.)
“Of All The Things” tayming sa pagtakbo ni Aga sa kongreso. (Box-office results don’t always guarantee a poll victory.)
Bumuwelta sa mga taong naninira sa kanila ni John Lloyd; Angelica: hiyang-hiya naman ako sa kalinisan n’yo… ang sakit sa bangs! (You could be classier, too.)
Hindi na raw umuuwi sa bahay ng pamilya; Charice nilayasan ang nanay, sinulsulan ng bagong manager? (Oh, but remember that the girl’s 20 years old!)
Nabwisit dahil siya pa raw ang pinagbabayad kapag nagde-date sila; Nadine nakipaghiwalay sa kuripot na dyowa. (A girl’s gotta have fixed standards.)
SARAH Geronimo: Who’s sorry now?
Sarah laging tulala, Mommy Divine nagsisisi sa pagtataboy kay Gerald. (Hindsight is always 20/20.)
Sen. Chiz, Eugene pumayag mag-extra sa movie nina Aga at Regine. (Politics, show biz in the same boat.)
Kung anu-ano pa kasi ang sinasabi kaya tinawag na taklesa; John Lloyd sinasaktan si Shaina para paligayahin si Angelica. (Not cool.)
Bukod sa pasasabuging ‘bomba’ ng kanilang abogado; Bea Binene, Dj Papa Dan may video scandal? (Not another one.)
Walang katotohanan ang chikang siya ang kabit; Jennylyn ginagamit para itago ang tunay na dahilan sa hiwalayang Paolo-Lian. (We smell a coming movie.)
Away-bati raw kasi ang naging relasyon; Valerie ‘nagsawa’ sa dyowang basketball player, pumatol sa doktor. (Doctors have a longer shelf life, didn’t you know?)
Daniel tagapunas na lang ng pawis ni Kathryn. (There really could be more to it than that.)
Unti-unti na raw nakukumbinsi ng kanyang pamilya; Bossing Vic naghahanda na sa pagsabak sa mundo ng politika. (But do we need another Sotto in politics right now?)
Lucy, Goma kabado sa pagbo-boyfriend ni Julianna. (How old is the girl? You may want to take a few more worry-free years.)
Hayden ayaw nang makita sina Katrina at Maricar? (We don’t think they wanna see you, either.)
Totoo nga kaya na laging nag-aaway at nagkakasawaan na? Dingdong gusto nang hiwalayan si Marian, na-in love kay Isabelle Daza. (Listen girls: If a man cheats with you, he’ll cheat on you.)
Charice inggit na inggit daw kay Jessica Sanchez. (Again, listen girls: There’s room up there for both of you.)
Maja diet muna sa lalaki; enjoy kahit walang dyowa. (Good call. Isn’t it great being single?)
Vice, enjoy sa katawan ni Luis Manzano. (We daresay it’s not just Vice.)
Muntik nang mawasak ang iniingatang pangalan; Jaya nabiktima ng kasambahay, pinalabas na masamang amo. (Napakaikling pangalan, masisira pa, ’teh.)
Talagang pinanindigan ang pagiging “pipi at bingi”; Pauleen tinakasan uli ang press, takot matanong tungkol kay Vic (Well, and truly, it’s no one’s business but yours, girlfriend.)
Kapag daw sinusundo na ni Rayver Cruz sa taping; Cristine biglang nawawala sa sarili kaya sakit ng ulo ng production (Yikes! That can’t be good.)
Derek Ramsay, Jessy Mendiola nahuling magka-date. (And what’s wrong with that?)
Charice nagtaray sa mga Pinoy: “Magbago na kayo!” (She has a point, though. She really does have point.)
Pagkatapos ng naunsiyaming relasyon nila ni P-Noy; Grace Lee: “Parang wala nang gustong manligaw sa akin!” (Uh, now you know?)
