MANILA, Philippines?Only days after the premiere of their rom-com movie, Leading Man was spotted at the airport ? not with his Leading Lady, but with LL?s look-alike, Ditzy Starlet.
LM is supposedly courting LL, but DS has proved to be more ?accessible.?
Network insiders claim DS isn?t really a flirt. It?s just that she?s a bit dense and gullible and has fallen for LL?s smooth-talking ways.
Love bites
Making the rounds is a photo of two top female singers purportedly caught in a rather compromising position.
Senior Diva and Seasoned Star are supposedly ?biting? each other in the scandalous snapshot.
Ouch.
Off to the market, boys
Two Handsome Boys, products of a reality talent search, are reportedly in the market?offering their young, beefy bodies to willing gays and matrons.
Mole says it?s because the HBs are currently unemployed and are in desperate need of cash.
The two HBs, a mestizo and a moreno, also come from the same province in the North.
Cradle-snatching Direk
Popular Director has always considered Child Actor as one of his ?favorites.?
Apparently, PD once espied CA in the buff and caught a glimpse of the kid?s ?prodigious? gift.
PD bided his time and now that CA is of legal age, the powerful gay is determined to make the boy his latest conquest.
Calling Bantay Bata.
Insecure copycat
Copycat Celebrity is at it again.
Envious of another Female Celebrity from the same network, CC is allegedly planning to preempt FC?s next project.
CC has done it before, but now FC isn?t taking things lightly because it?s a project close to her heart: singing for kids.
Funny thing is, CC, with her irritatingly screechy voice, can?t carry a tune with a bucket.
The downside of fame
NEW DELHI?The father of one of the child stars of the Oscar-winning film ?Slumdog Millionaire? slapped him for refusing to give media interviews, a report said Saturday.
Ten-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, plucked from a Mumbai slum to act in the movie, has been barraged by media attention since returning to his shanty home earlier in the week from the Oscars awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
Jet-lagged after the long flight, Azharuddin wanted to sleep and refused to talk to reporters when his father got angry and slapped him, the Press Trust of India reported.
?I was being naughty. I did not want to give the interview because I was tired so he slapped me, but he loves me,? said Azharuddin, who came back Thursday to his tarpaulin-covered lean-to home. AFP

Magnanimous Boy
Boy Abunda on Vicki Belo?s forwarded SMS apology through a common friend:
?Tatanggapin ko naman yon. Pero bigyan lang sana ako ng pagkakataong ma-proseso yung pakiramdam ko. Ang pinaglalaban ko lang dito, I want Vicki to listen to me, that I was hurt by what she said ... Yun lang. And I think narinig niya yon by sending me an apology text message. She realized what she has done and I?m accepting it.?
