MANILA, Philippines?There?s always been something fishy about Reality Hunk?s background.
A mole swears that RH was Wealthy Matron?s boy toy when he was 16 and she was 50.
Calling Bantay Bata.
The spy relates that RH had to join show biz when his benefactor was downed by a serious illness.
Spotted 1
A mole spotted two guys strolling in the mall. Nothing the matter with that.
Except that Guy 1, Moreno Singer, was once accidentally out-ed by a Sexy Comedienne in a campus show.
Guy 2, Hunky Model, has been known to engage in gay affairs even as a teenager in an international school.
Mole is sure MS and HM are now lovers.
Spotted 2
Seen having dinner in an upscale resto in Serendra were Controversial Star and Scandalous Politico.
Is SP gathering evidence from CS, who was once a close crony of his estranged girlfriend? Or is SP asking CS to mediate?
Bad-news hunk
Current talk of show town is Top Hunk, who is alleged to have halitosis.
Former Partner has complained of TH?s bad breath, but Another Starlet has defended the poor guy.
What to make of the mess? How about a mouthwash endorsement? Realistic!

Sympathies from Akon
Hip hop/R&B superstar Akon extends his sympathies to his Filipino fans, in the wake of ?Ondoy.?
Amid a busy touring schedule, Akon said he was deeply saddened upon finding out about the tragedy. ?My heart grieves for all Filipinos who lost their lives, their loved ones and their cherished possessions,? he laments. It is in these trying moments that we find our greatest strength, faith and capacity for self-sacrifice. I pray for the safety and well-being of all of you out there in the Philippines.?
Akon is scheduled to perform at the Araneta Coliseum on Oct. 23 with Billy Crawford, in ?Freedom Tour ?09.? Akon has pledged a chunk of the concert proceeds to the typhoon victims.
