MANILA, Philippines?Pretty Starlet is quickly gaining notoriety among the young and restless set.

PS is allegedly a ?playgirl,? to use a euphemism. Actually, PS has been branded a certain misogynist term that begins with the letter S.

Why?

According to the grapevine, PS is addicted to flirting with guys and, recently, PS got a not-so-pleasant surprise because she had to share the screen with a Handsome Hunk she had a fling with in the not-so-distant past.

How awkward.

Trip to men?s room

At an out-of-town event, bystanders were shocked to overhear a Veteran Host invite a Young Actor to ?accompany? him to the men?s room.

What?s more stunning was that YA willingly ?escorted? VH to the comfort room.

Maybe VH just needed a little comforting?

Lousy work attitude

Troubled Celebrity has succeeded in turning off two major advertisers.

According to a mole, Kitchen Company now refuses to work with TC?because of the star?s lousy work attitude.

TC reportedly arrives late for appointments with KC and, to top it off, has the gall to make unreasonable demands.

Turned out another advertiser, Milk Product, is also upset with TC.

For a commercial shoot with MP, TC allegedly arrived three hours late and, when she finally showed up, got insecure because an Ad Co-Star?s makeup looked more polished.

Talent Manager purportedly reprimanded TC but the star remains a prima donna in spite of her waning popularity.

Valenzuela awardees

Rowell Santiago and Marc Logan were recently recognized for their achievements in their respective careers by the City of Valenzuela. Santiago, who started out as an actor and later became a concert and film director, received the Gawad Pio Valenzuela for visual and performing arts; Logan, a reporter and producer of the ?Balitang Kyut? segment of ABS-CBN?s TV Patrol, was given his own Gawad for journalism.

The Valenzuela City government hands out the Gawad to current or previous residents who have excelled in government service, community service, education, science and technology, journalism, business, sports, and the visual and performing arts.

Top of the talk shows

For those who missed last weekend?s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)

Regine Velasquez, on wedding plans with Ogie Alcasid amid the upcoming marriage of Michelle van Eimeren and Mike Morrow:
?Lahat ng babae iniisip yon. Simula ng age 9 years old, nagpe-pretend tayong lahat na kinakasal. Ganoon din ako.? (Ha? Nine years old naglalaro pa kami nun, pero hindi kasal-kasalan.)

Aubrey Miles, on preparing to pose for a men?s magazine cover:
?Talagang dugo at pawis ang ginawa ko sa gym para dito sa cover na ito.? (Excited siguro si Troy.)

Nadine Samonte, on patching up differences with Isabel Oli:
?Hindi kasi ako plastic na tao. Kung ano yung nararamdaman ko, yun lang ako. Hangga?t hindi pa nasa kalooban ko na okay kami, hindi pa yun sa akin. Magkaka-ayos kami kung kami dalawa mismo pero kung may ibang tao nagsabi nagkaayos kami, mas mahirap yun kasi pinilit lang eh.?

Isabel?s reaction:
?Siguro in time magiging maayos din ang lahat kasi ang daming tao naka-surround sa amin. Wrong information lang yung dumadating.?

KC Concepcion, admitting Piolo Pascual is courting her:
?First time nga po akong niligawan ng traditional eh. Parang hindi siya nagmamadali. May respeto talaga sa babae. Matino. Iuuwi ka nang maaga.?(How early?)

Lian Paz, asked how she can prove to Paolo Contis? mother that she deserves to be her son?s partner:
?First of all, how can I prove it to her, hindi ko pa siya nami-meet? Actually, we?re working things out with her and with his family. Everything?s going great. Siyempre ang mabibigay ko sa kanya, respect.? Gerry Plaza (Startalk, The Buzz, Showbiz Central)
