Ghost from the past can ruin or save this actor

Hunky Actor is determined to reach the top. This blind ambition is motivated by filial loyalty, according to a highly placed source.

HA’s Disturbed Relative got in trouble with authorities. All his young life, HA tried to clean up after the mess. Now that he’s close to the Powers-That-Be, can he help DR stick to the straight and narrow path?

Was that the reason why he “befriended” a number of Influential Insiders? Will this ghost from the past ruin HA’s booming career?

Addicted to horror stories

Controversial Personality has a strange addiction. CP befriends fellow stars for a reason.

Highly competitive, CP is a firm believer in the adage: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”

Apparently CP’s only reason to get chummy is to find out friends’ deepest, darkest secrets. CP wouldn’t think twice about blabbing about bosom buddies if it’s convenient.

Is CP behind that salacious rumor linking Famous Friend with Notorious Celebrity?

All’s well

After a long estrangement, megastar Sharon Cuneta patched up her differences with aunt Helen Gamboa. Sharon said she made the first move by texting Helen.

When she felt the time was right, Sharon paid her “second mom” a surprise visit. Shortly after, Helen, accompanied by husband Sen. Tito Sotto and their children Apple, Lala and Gian (with their own kids in tow), attended the third birthday party and dedication of Miguel Samuel Mateo—Sharon and husband Sen. Francis Pangilinan’s youngest son, at Blue Leaf, McKinley Hill, on Saturday.

There’s a fourth reason to party: Miguel’s papers are now in order. “He’s now legally our son,” Sharon said.

Top of the Talk Shows

For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests  (And why we are moved, if we are moved):

Zsa Zsa Padilla on undergoing stem cell therapy: “It’s something that I should study further, I guess.” (Many others should think this way, too.)

Zsa Zsa on living alone: “Hindi ko nararamdaman na mag-isa ako, actually, honestly, because in your most trying times, your family, your friends will stand by you, and doon mo talaga malalaman kung sino ang mga kaibigan mo. ” (Agree! Spin a win!)

Marian Rivera on temptations: “As long as nasa relasyon nyo si God, walang temptation talaga. Masasabi ko talagang nasa gitna si God, kasi kung wala si God, matagal nang laglag ang relationship naming dalawa.” (Uh, hello, God?)

Bea Alonzo on John Lloyd-Bea magic: “Siguro yung value ng love team na hinding-hindi kami magdidisillusion ng ibang tao, ng audience, ng supporters namin. Iyong pagiging clean ng love team.” (Come again?)

John Lloyd, asked if he was happy: “It’s beyond happiness.” (Good for you.)

Lloydie on falling in love with Angelica: “It’s something na di namin ineexpect, bigla na lang sa’n galing to, sa’n galing yun,  suddenly it’s magic.” (Parang kanta.)

John Lloyd on people asking about his relationship with Angelica: “Wala naman kaming tinatago, dapat pagtaguan, paglihiman, hindi naman kami umiiwas sa tanong… Pero iyong pagpapaliwanag at pagbibigay ng detalye, doon kami hindi ganoon ka-comportable.” (When people stop asking, would you really be comfortable? No, really.)

Dennis Trillo on his current relationship: “Pinipili ko pa talaga na maging peaceful ang relasyon, mas tahimik, mas serene, walang nakikihalong kahit anong negative; maganda iyong ganoon para smooth sailing palagi.” (Tall order.)

Dennis Trillo on settling down: “Naku, wala pa po. Masyado pang maaga para mag-isip ng ganyang mga bagay.” (Tall order nga e.)
