Sultry starlet’s big project is stuck in limbo

Will Sultry Starlet finally attain stardom this time around? First time SS was given a huge break years ago, fame proved elusive.

Supporters blamed SS’ Beleaguered Handlers. The former team had bungled big-time. In short, BHs didn’t know how to build up the newcomer.

When SS switched to another firm, fans thought everything would go smoothly. Alas, SS’ latest project got stuck in limbo.

This time, insiders are pinning the blame on SS, who suddenly gained extra poundage while waiting for the next job. Bosses told SS to lose those unwanted pounds before reporting back to the set.

But why the sudden weight gain? Hmmm…

Fine print

Remember this petulant pair? Moles swear that Colorful Performer’s union with Shiftless Partner is heading straight to splitsville.

They claim that money woes got in the way. CP is not satisfied with the fam’s financial situation—especially since SP is a certified underachiever.

Well, CP’s Hardworking Kin managed to score a new deal—and even included SP in the project.

Still, the union remained shaky until HK reminded CP that the contract had a morality clause: that the two should remain “happily married”…or else!

CP failed to read the fine print.

Services rendered

It was a dream date that turned into a nightmare for Flamboyant Personality. Charming Cutie and FP savored a night of unbridled passion. But the morning after, reality rudely ruined FP’s reverie.

Before parting ways, CC asked for a hefty “talent fee.”

FP was crestfallen. FP had to rush to the nearest ATM to pay for CC’s service deluxe.

But was FP a satisfied customer? Love doesn’t come cheap for CC.

Bossy banshee

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Colleagues are disturbed by Noisy Costar’s lousy attitude on the set.

Power-tripping NC keeps treating the staff like personal slaves. NC constantly bothers the poor assistants with all sorts of needless requests.

NC insists on being the staffers’ No. 1 priority, too.

To top it off, NC frequently resorts to public shaming to assert authority over the underlings. NC would screech like a banshee whenever someone messes up a simple request.
