Vengeful actress gets ex’s lover in trouble
Veteran actress was once a legendary beauty, desired by men and envied by women.
In an ironic twist of fate, VA met her match in the most unlikely rival.
VA was dating Hunky Exec who, at first, seemed a devoted and reliable escort.
But she was shocked to discover that HE was fooling around – with a Gorgeous Gay at that.
Needless to say, VA threw a fit and dumped HE.

Loyalty award
Longtime Supporter got upset upon learning that Senior Star is still supporting (and tolerating) Troubled Friend.
SS claims TF was the only one who remained loyal, through the ups and downs in their respective careers.
LS, however, thinks TF is a bad influence and can pull SS down in the dumpster.
In the end, SS prevailed. Much to LS’ dismay, TF is here to stay.
Front-act king
Who knew Suave Singer had the makings of a front-act king?
SS is supposedly wooing Beautiful Actress.
SS eagerly drumbeats their romance – making insiders all the more suspicious.
Could it be true that SS is just the red herring, to hide BA’s real affair with Powerful Exec? And that SS swings both ways?
Frenemies club
Observers are keeping their fingers crossed.
Former friends/enemies have agreed to work together in a high-profile project –even though they share a less-than-amicable history.
Charming Frenemy’s camp used to think Pretty Frenemy got preferential treatment from their former bosses.
While CF’s career hit the skids, PF was given all the right breaks by former studio.
As luck would have it, they were reunited, but under different circumstances and in a rival company.
Will they (and their fans and handlers) be mature enough to forget past issues?
Bitter critic
A seatmate cringed upon overhearing Grizzled Insider’s rather loud criticism of Popular Colleague’s work during a film screening.
GI minced no words even though PC is a close friend.
The witness gasped: With friends like GI, who needs enemies?
But GI and PC remain chummy despite their secret rivalry. Seems they are their own best pals and detractors at the same time.
