JINKEE Pacquiao seems appeased, or is taking things in stride. For now. She smiled and grooved to the beat as the country?s biggest rock star of the moment ? and arguably the world?s best boxer ever ? husband Manny sang with his band at the Mall of Asia during the victory party GMA-7 hosted for the champ?s homecoming on Friday.
If all?s quiet on the Pacquiao home front, things are simmering over at (camp) Team Jinkee, the 265-member Facebook account put up by someone who goes by the alias ?Resbak ni Jinkee? in the wake of wild rumors about Manny?s alleged affair with starlet Krista Ranillo.
Judging by the comments posted on Team Jinkee?s wall, a Krista-bashing campaign is underway.
Sample posts
?Go Jinkee ... Nakakahiya si Krista, she?s from Ateneo and Poveda but she doesn?t act like one.?
Kaya mo ?yan Jinkee, fight lang nang fight ... Isang uppercut lang ?yan ... ?
(A comment on photos showing bisexual singer Mocha locking lips with Krista) ?Witness the values of this girl ... A shame to her family and friends ... and all Filipinas!!!?
?Pakbet! As in, Pacman?s kabet?
Unfair as all this may look, Krista herself poured oil into the fire, replying to a TV reporter?s query on the rumors, thus: ?We?re still discussing when and how to speak.?
As the entertainment media awaits Krista?s arrival from the United States, already there are ?Team Jinkee? T-shirts up for sale online.
Spaced out
Drama Actor is reportedly the constant cause of headaches of his directors on both the big and small screens.
DA is among the more talented and promising actors of his generation, but his skills seem to have grown rusty.
?He?s often spaced out, distracted,? says a source. ?He finds it hard to concentrate.... like he?s forgotten how to act.?
Mole blames DA?s massive drug-taking in the past. ?Drugs have fried his brain,? said the spy. ?In his latest movie, all his dramatic scenes are long shots [because] in closeups, he almost always looks emotionless.?
Botox overdose
Actor on a Comeback has a different addiction. If his face is stiff onscreen and off, it?s because of Botox overuse. AC is allegedly hooked on the treatments that give him a cadaverous countenance.
Wild thing
A decade ago, Pretty Starlet went on the cover of a youth magazine. Fellow Teen commented that PS wasn?t as innocent as she looked and, in fact, was quite wild and prone to chasing men as old as her Celebrity Dad.
Hunk for hire
Reality bites. There is talk in gay circles that Cutie Hunk, who made waves in a reality show, moonlights in the flesh trade. CH can be booked for only P3,000 a night, said a spy. There is also talk that CH is actually bisexual, or a closet gay.
Double trouble
Movie Producer wanted to hire former teen lovers ? now happily married to other people ? in a reunion film.
Biz Insider, manager of the Female Half of the tandem, dissuaded MP, saying that FH could cause delays with her unpredictable mood swings. As for the Male Half, see item about spaced-out actor.
Bong?s vow
Senator Bong Revilla told the press gathered at the launch of his MMFF entry ?Panday? that he hoped his Anti-Voyeurism law would prevent other Hayden Khos out there from videotaping bed partners.
?Kho will land in jail,? Bong was sure, ?if not for voyeurism, [then] for violating the Violence Against Women law.?
The senator sounded puzzled: ?Kho has not stopped Bong-bashing on the Net. I thought he reformed. Why is he still attacking me??
Sexiest ... again
New York ? Johnny Depp was named People magazine?s ?sexiest man alive? for a second time on Wednesday, joining an elite club of double honorees that includes George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
People magazine described Depp, 46, as ?the king of cool with the killer cheekbones.? Depp, who also took the title in 2003, succeeded 2008 winner Hugh Jackman.
People senior editor Kate Coyne told the CBS Early Show, ?He was sexy 10 years ago, he?ll be sexy 10 years from now.? Reuters
