MANILA, Philippines?Passengers waiting for their international flight couldn?t help overhearing the delicious exchange.
An overly friendly Airline Employee approached Talent Manager and reminded him, somewhat aloud, of their previous encounter.
TM responded, ?Did you really think I?d remember you?? AE?s jaws dropped.
Little wonder that TM?s prized talent is also exhibiting prima donna behavior.
Thanks, mom
Never mind the goth-rock image. When Chicosci went upstage during the MTV Asia Awards on Saturday to receive the trophy for Favorite Artist (Philippines), the boys, one by one, thanked their moms and dads. And then they turned to buss the presenters, the Pussy Cat Dolls!
Pinay, ahoy!
Speaking of PCD, lead vocalist Nicole Scherzinger read Chicosci?s name and explained she was picked for the job because she herself is ?from Tacloban.? The venue, Genting Highlands? (Malaysia) Arena of the Stars, roared with approval!
What sore throat?
Still on the MTV Awards: British pop sensation Leona Lewis cancelled scheduled interviews on Friday, on account of a sore throat. Her onstage performance the next day belied this?or she found some really fantastic medicine out there in the fog-enveloped mountain resort. She won the Breakthrough Artist award over Chris Daughtry, One Republic, and Mika.

Top of the talk shows
For those who missed last weekend?s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)
? Piolo Pascual, on not joining an underwear fashion show of a garments line he?s endorsing:
?Ayoko talagang sumali.? (Ayaw pala e.)
? Jessa Zaragoza, on making peace with Rufa Mae Quinto:
?Yung galit, nawawala ?yun, humuhupa. Magkakaayos talaga lahat-lahat kung matuto siyang mag-apologize.? (At magsukat ng media exposure per column inch and per sound byte!)
? Jessa, asked if she was willing to let husband Dingdong Avanzado settle differences with Rufa Mae:
?Kung sila mag-uusap, sa akin okay lang. Huwag lang sa loob ng kuwarto.? (Op kors.)
? Dingdong, on talking to Rufa Mae:
?If the opportunity will present itself, I would just go with what?s there. Sino ba ang gustong may kaaway?? (Ay, parang hindi matching ang sagot.)
? Rufa Mae, on apologizing to Jessa and Dingdong:
?Ano ba ang i-ko-closure? Ulit-ulit lang eh. Anong feeling nila? Bahala sila. Kumbaga wag na tayong maging parrot ah? Ang kulit na. Nakakahiya eh.? (Nakakahiya sa public? Korek!)
? Aljur Abrenica, on his father?s alleged philandering ways:
?Guwapo ang tatay ko, eh, lapitin ng babae..? (Ang ginagawa ng nakatatanda...)
? Carlene Aguilar, on improving ties with Dennis Trillo:
?Sana magpatuloy ang condition na maayos ang lahat.? (Define maayos.)
? Joey de Leon, on tabloid editor Dindo Balares? report that the ?Eat Bulaga? show in Los Angeles was a flop:
?Mapapatawad ko... na sabihing pangit ang [?Eat Bulaga? on TV]. Personal na opinion niyo ?yan... Pero [?yung] event na ... binaligtad mo... Dalawa lang naman ang kinagagalitan ko dito eh, ang sinungaling at mandaraya.? (Ay nadamay na naman si ano...)
? Joey dares Dindo, who claims a GMA 7 executive confirmed that the ?Eat Bulaga? show was a flop:
?Bibigyan kita ng ticket sa eroplano papuntang Estados Unidos, first class o business class for two para makasama mo ang dyowa mo. Isang linggong stay sa kahit anong hotel sa Amerika, sagot ko with pocket money na $5,000. Sabihin mo lang sa akin kung sino ang GMA executive (na ?yon).? (Qualified ba kami diyan sa contest na ?yan?)
? Joey dares GMA 7:
?May nag-kumpirma sa akin na uma-attend ka (Dindo) sa mga press con dito sa GMA. Eto ang hamon ko pati sa GMA. Pag inimbita niyo uli ang taong yan, mag-re-resign ako sa lahat ng shows ko sa GMA.? (Ayyyy.)

(?Wag na lang ito.)
