A source predicts that Real-life Villainess would cause Perky Cinderella’s downfall.
No, RV is not Cruel Stepsister or Wicked Stepmother; just the same, she is wreaking havoc on PC’s life and career.
RV is reported far and wide as a nasty boss, so stingy with money and food that not a few employees have quit.
A spy knows why: RV has amassed quite a fortune—snapping up pieces of real-estate left and right.
Seems RV can’t let anyone get close to PC—especially not lackeys, relatives and co-stars who can plant seeds of dissatisfaction in PC’s pretty little head. What a formidable cordon sanitaire!
Power-tripping
Mole is bothered by Influential Insider’s behavior.
II backed out of a project midway because certain unrealistic demands were not met.
II asked Distressed Colleague to make several changes that would have been difficult, if not plain impossible, to implement, considering the deadline.
DC was left hanging in the air. Was II merely power-tripping—spoiled by success, perceived and/or publicized?
Inseparable
Observers are bothered by the very public displays of affection between Leggy Celebrity and Cute Boyfriend.
LC and CB are allegedly inseparable, holding hands and hugging on the set. Uncomfortable coworkers have compared them to two snakes at the peak of mating season.
Enough already! They should realize that office romance often leads to workplace tension. Add a little lovers’ quarrel in the mix and the canoodling can turn to chaos in a jiffy.
Moody day
Call him Moody Diaz. Handsome Hunk was in no mood to socialize with the staff of a major airline.
Flight Attendant, who wanted to have a snapshot taken with HH, was coldly rebuffed.
On other occasions, HH was more accommodating. Not this time. Perhaps he was having a lousy day and felt like channeling Flamboyant Siblings’ diva-ness. It’s in the genes.
Front act
Sexy Starlet was linked by the rumor mill to Fast-Rising Comic.
There is talk that SS was the secret sweetheart of Famous Comedian, who was involved with Pretty Colleague at the time. PC had gladly acted as front, to cover FC’s tracks.
Also, there are allegations that FC’s falling for SS caused a mini-scandal in the workplace.
‘Dutdutan’ dazzles
People swarmed like ants, walking in line, intermittently stopping to avoid bumping into one another, then stepping back to check out each of the more than 100 tattoo booths during “Dutdutan XII” this year’s edition of Tribal Gear’s annual skin art expo and music showcase held recently at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
In the house were Eric Bobo and Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, band members of Chicosci, Color It Red, Kamikazee and Wolfgang, among others.
Likewise spotted were Vandolph, Epy Quizon, Ryan Eigenmann, Sid Lucero and Parokya Ni Edgar’s Gab Chee Kee either getting inked or merely enjoying the scene.
Top of the Bandera
The top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera (and why we are moved if we are moved):
Hindi na mukhang probinsiyana, star na star na; Erich Gonzales gumanda, kuminis, sumeksi. (So did many others.)

Nanay ni Shaina umaray sa kadaldalan ni John Lloyd; “Kung wala siyang sasabihing maganda, wag na siyang magsalita!” (Excellent point!)
Naghahanda na sa muling paglipad bilang Darna; Angel kinakarir ang pagpapapayat, pero kain pa rin nang kain. (Now she should learn to scream
“Darna!” on her own, too.)
“Sumpa” ni DJ Mo kay Rhian epektib, ayaw tigilan ng malas. (Does KC Montero qualify as malas?)
Ibang-iba na raw kasi ang pag-uugali ngayon; Jose Manalo sumobra na raw ang kayabangan. (Sabi ni Bosing: ’Wag n’yong siraan; dati na ’yang sira.)
Andi: Natatakot ako na hindi na ako maalala ng anak ko! (Are you giving her away?)
Tuloy ang lihim na relasyon, naisahan si Mommy Divine; Gerald nagpapatayo na ng bagong bahay para kay Sarah. (Killlig!)
Marian sinisira ng isang demolition squad. (Just to keep her afloat in
these competitive times.)
Kaya na nilang labanan kahit anong intriga; Marian: Alam ko naman kung gaano ako kamahal ni Dong! (Kami rin! Enough na.)
Kung may nagawa mang kasalanan sa ABS-CBN; Derek: Lord, parusahan n’yo ko! (Sabi ni Lord, “Keep me out of this, children!”)

Gangnam Style ni Helen Gamboa pinagtatawanan sa YouTube. (Eh kasi naman.)
Jodi Sta. Maria: Gusto ko uling mabuntis… isa pa! (This is not a cry for help, is it?)
Ayaw tumulad sa ibang malalanding young actress; Sarah Geronimo “virgin” pa rin daw, hindi pa napagsawaan ng mga lalaki. (Let’s not go there, kids.)
Okay lang kay LJ Reyes na pinagnanasahan ng mga bading si Paulo Avelino. (Basta from a distance.)
