Real-life Cinderella at odds with hubby’s cruel relatives

Aneglica Panganiban and Derek Ramsay

Who knew that Drama Actress, who portrays weepy martyrs onscreen, is a real-life Cinderella? On top of her bustling acting career, DA is caring for a young child and an ailing hubby. To secure their grandchild’s future, DA’s in-laws thought of giving the couple a house.

Her husband’s stingy relatives, however, vetoed the plan, arguing that if DA’s hubby kicked the bucket, she would inherit the property. DA remained composed because she’s financially independent and need not kowtow to anyone.

Insatiable fiancée

Pretty Celeb hooked a big fish—scion of a wealthy clan. Friends are worried that PC has become quite the material girl.

It doesn’t help that her fiancé and his parents are spoiling her rotten. Beau already gave PC a million-peso engagement ring, but it seems she wants more, more, more!

The guy’s parents gifted PC with a very expensive tote, too. Still, she  is unstoppable and demanded a big event to be held in a posh resort … or a lavish trip abroad.

The elders could only shake their heads in disbelief. To think that when PC was with Older Boyfriend, she was quite thrifty. PC guarded OB’s finances like a hawk and made sure that he was not too generous with friends.

Due date

Kris Aquino

Intriguing Personality kept criticizing Notorious Starlet in public. NS asked Controversial Celeb to mediate. CC met with IP, who remained unyielding.

Largely because of limited budget, CC managed to “convince” IP to cease hostilities for just five months. That was enough for CC, who needed the help of NS for a vital campaign for five months as well. Talk about perfect timing.

“After the five-month period, you can do whatever you want again,” CC told IP.

Rehab grad

It was rumored that Showbiz Insider landed in rehab because of uncontrollable alcohol consumption.

Work and relationships had taken a beating because of the nasty habit. SI disappeared for a while, ostensibly to complete the 12-step program. SI is back in circulation—hopefully wiser, calmer and more focused.

Let’s drink to that! No, no, no!

Forget her not

Beautiful Actress once admitted that she’s addicted to drama. Well, BA got her wish, lots of melodramatic moments, when she got entangled in an affair with Inattentive Beau. Seems IB forgot their anniversary. BA had to remind IB, who just ignored her.

Seems IB is too busy with extracurricular activities, including chasing after other cute athletic types. BA is often left by her lonesome. She seeks the company of gal pals and they drown their sorrows in alcohol, according to a Net report.

Drinking to forget an amnesiac?
