Deceitful endorser caught red-handed
Backstage at a glitzy event, Glamorous Endorser, hired as pitch person for a new gizmo, grew impatient.
GE started tinkering with another device, not the brand she endorses.
As luck would have it, Big Boss (of the company that just hired her) walked by and caught GE using the rival product.
Quick-thinking GE passed the incriminating evidence to an assistant, exclaiming: “Yaya, here’s your (name of gadget).”
Nanny thought it was her lucky day!
But when BB turned his back, GE took the thingamajig back and resumed her business. How’s that for credibility?
Bumped off
Difficult Star is a nightmare to work with, often tardy and/or moody.
Coworkers have complained to the bosses about this.
Now, there is talk that DS’ character in a high-profile project will soon be “killed,” though the part is, granted, pivotal.
No one is indispensable in the biz.
Blabbing away
Noisy Personality blabbed away between takes and, at one point, carelessly remarked, “Our director looks poor.”
Overhearing that, a staffer told NP, “The director owns the company that produced this project.”
Unremorseful, NP snapped back, “Well, he still looks poor.”
NP is never ever wrong. Just ask all those past lovers who had the temerity to flee.

Busted!

Seasoned Vixen often hangs out in a neighborhood precinct.
No, she’s not visiting a jailbird. A mole says SV is the regular guest of a crooked insider, who is also a drug peddler.
SV doesn’t really have money for this expensive vice. Our source insists that she pays not in cash but … that’s right.
