Belligerent celeb is back to old ways

Drumbeaters were scared stiff that Belligerent Celebrity’s big project would flop big time because of all the negative publicity.

With dispatch, they asked (nay, ordered) Perplexed Colleagues to heap hosannas on BC, who was likewise instructed to behave.

PC 1 was forced to describe BC as a consummate pro.

PC2 couldn’t help sneaking in a little snide remark, but dutifully praised BC, too. After all, PC2’s name was also at stake should their common undertaking hit the skids.

In spite of their valiant (yet dishonest) efforts, BC and PCs’ doomed venture still failed miserably.

Is this the reason why BC is back to old ways—terrorizing new coworkers on the set?

Artificial sweetener

Speaking of deceptive campaigns.

If you were to believe the hype machine, yet another Infamous Bully has reportedly turned into a do-gooder fit for canonization.

Perhaps handlers want to erase from the collective memory IB’s well-publicized crimes against colleagues.

IB as a conscientious and caring coworker? Make that sweet as ampalaya (bitter gourd)?

Just ask IB’s Hapless Costars.

Reunited

Years ago, Rushes came out with an item on Seasoned Hunk who had a torrid affair with Handsome Gigolo.

Flashback: One sultry summer afternoon, SH paid HG a visit in the latter’s pad. Alas, HG’s clueless spouse went home early that day and almost caught the illicit lovers in the act.

Fast forward to 2016: Quite by chance, SH and HG crossed paths in a recent show biz gathering.

Moreover, a photo was posted online to commemorate the “happy” reunion.

Hmm…

Open season

After weeks of hemming and hawing, Major Star finally comes out in the open, in support of Pugnacious Personality.

Those in the know insisted that MS was initially reluctant because of certain entanglements.

MS didn’t want to ruffle feathers—particularly, those of former associates who seemed vindictive. According to a mole, MS merely wanted to protect a pet project from PP’s Main Rivals, who would surely retaliate.

But now the time has come for MS to face the music—a month before the polls.

Bully redux

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Professional bashers from Rival Company are still at it.

They were able to dig up dirt on Popular Heartthrob—dating back to the guy’s high school days.

Back on campus, PH was an incorrigible bully, relentless critics claim.

PH’s favorite targets were helpless girls who, nevertheless, remained smitten. Now, some former classmates are allegedly surprised that PH is being hailed as a hero and not a heel.

Rated GP—for Great Pretender?

JAMES Reid and Nadine Lustre

Top of the tabloids

This week’s top show biz news in the Inquirer tabloid Bandera (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

Dasal ng mommy ni James Reid: Sana maging mag-asawa sila ni Nadine Lustre! (Mommy knows best?)

Aminado si Kris Aquino na super nami-miss na niya ang magtrabaho, lalo na ang kanyang morning show na “Kris TV.” (But mornings are more peaceful for her and everyone else, ’di ba?)

Heart Evangelista: Feeling ko nagkakasala ako pag naghahalikan kami ni Dennis Trillo! (Sinfully delish?)
