Not-so-secret lovers defy pugnacious parents

Cutie Hunk is keeping his “fondness” for Pretty Starlet top secret. Perhaps CH merely wants to protect PS from intrigue-mongers?

Or is CH scared of how their Pugnacious Parents may react?

The moms of both CH and PS are known to be vociferous—hardly the type to keep their opinions to themselves.

Then again, CH was seen guarding PS like a hawk at an out-of-town event.

Witnesses swear CH outclassed Sonny Jaworski in his style of shielding PS from other boys.

Between two hunks

Controversial Gay is deliciously, deliriously torn between two Handsome Hunks.

According to online reports, CG is smitten with HH1. However, the rumor mill is also linking CG to HH2.

Funny thing is, HH1 and HH2 are supposedly good friends.

Looks as if CG isn’t playing coy and has been spotted supporting both boys at huge gatherings.

Desperate move

Controversial Star has become bored, cooped up in the house all day long.

CS had to go on a forced vacation after a salacious scandal broke. But now she is raring to go back to work.

Problem is, employers seem reluctant to take CS in.

In a desperate, last-ditch effort, CS even patched things up with Former Handlers—to no avail.

In spite of the efforts of CS to mend fences, FHs are distancing themselves.

After all, there was considerable damage in the relationship of CS and FHs.

Deafening disagreement

Glamorous Beauty has the nasty habit of grandstanding.

At an intimate reception, GB kept yakking about this and that advocacy.

Perhaps GB thought she held the guests’ complete and undivided attention (and devotion).

GB suddenly blurted out her opposition to the RH bill.

Instead of being showered with applause, GB’s comment was met with deafening silence.

V for Vendetta

TV Personality publicly criticized Rival Network.

RN’s attack dogs quite naturally didn’t take this sitting down.

It didn’t take long for TP to become the subject of a blind item aired on RN.

Lurid details of TP’s personal life were broadcast for everyone to hear—including TP’s Famous Father.

Top of the talk shows

For those who missed last weekend’s TV gabfests (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

Julie Anne San Jose, asked if she and “Just One Summer” costar Elmo Magalona felt awkward after their kissing scene: “Siyempre natural lang po ’yun. First time po, eh … ganun pala ang feeling.” (First times onscreen are a strange thing.)

Heart Evangelista, asked if she’s dating Sen. Chiz Escudero: “I think it’s called ‘meeting’ nowadays. You meet, you talk about different things… We’re close, ’yun lang… Peaceful ako ngayon.” (This is called not answering. Also not listening.)

Heart, asked if she’s planning to enter politics: “I haven’t really thought of it… If there’s one thing I’d like to do that’s more serious, it would be going back to school.” (OK, but are you dating Chiz? That’s the point of the interview.)

Senator Chiz on rumors that he and Heart are in a romantic relationship: “There’s nothing really at this point.” (At least, listening siya; pero not answering din.)

Jose Manalo, asked if he sees himself falling in love again: “Lahat naman ng tao siyempre gusto ng makakasama sa buhay. ’Yung mga anak darating ang oras na aalis ’yan at maiiwan kang mag-isa.” (Sounds like a yes.)

Kris Bernal, asked if she could fall in love again with  “Coffee Prince” costar Aljur Abrenica: “P’wede pero depende ’yun kay Aljur. Ayoko naman pong manggaling sa ’kin.”  (At depende sa success ng teleserye.)

Aljur to Kris: “Kung ano ako noon, ganun pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. Aalagaan pa rin kita.” (What—like Kylie didn’t happen?)
