MANILA, Philippines - Land lord thought Young Singer-Actress was the perfect tenant for a posh new house because she has a string of endorsement deals to her name.

But YSA proved delinquent in paying the rent. Worse, when LL knocked on YSA?s door to claim the unpaid dues, YSA?s mom threw a hissy fit.

LL had the last word, though, admonishing the stage mom: ?You will cause your daughter?s downfall.? And then, with dispatch, LL terminated the lease, forcing YSA and family to find a new address.

Odd couple

Veteran Scribe noticed that Drama Actor has a non-existent rear. ?No wonder Young Host is happy with DA. A flat behind means a man is insatiable...?

Incredulous Observer had to ask: ?They?re lovers??

VS insisted: ?They were spotted having an intimate dinner in a five-star resto at the Fort. They were extra sweet.?

No wonder DA and YH often come out on TV in near-identical outfits, though they work in rival stations. We thought they just had the same stylist!

Nudes galore

Gina Pareño, who bared her back in ?Serbis,? isn?t the only mature actress to have a sexy scene of late because Tessie Tomas romped in the nude, along with Mylene Dizon and Eugene Domingo, in the Cinemalaya entry, ?100.?

Ever controversial Baron Geisler also let it all hang out in ?Jay,? another Cinemalaya finalist. But while Tessie showed her behind, Baron reportedly did a full monty.
