REMEMBER jealous starlet, who openly wept after seeing Hunky Boyfriend lock lips with Sweet Ingénue onscreen?
As luck would have it, SI guested on a TV show top-billed by JS. Everyone thought JS would at least try to make nice.
Unfortunately, JS has no time for pleasantries and, instead, tried to push SI, who was standing by innocently, out of her way. Imagine, a raging bull mowing down a pedestrian.
Fortunately, SI had mastered the art of ?sidestepping,? avoiding a head-on collision.
Diva throws hissy fit
Speaking of cat fights, staffers of a fashion show were shocked when Contravida Star demanded her own hotel suite and, quite literally, threw out her supposed roommate, Acclaimed Actress.
AA didn?t mind one bit, though she has won more awards (some from international festivals) than CS.
Turns out, CS isn?t acting when she plays Mean Queens.
Viveka who? Viveka, too?
Remember Viveka Babajee, the former Miss Mauritius who got entangled in the Manila Film Fest scam?
Well, Drama Actress allegedly did a Viveka in a recent awards show. When it was time to read the winner of a minor prize, the envelope was empty. Like any master thespian, DA improvised and called out the name of Troubled Star.
Did the stage mom of TS somehow ?influence? DA?s ad-lib? Funny thing is, DA and TS once shared the affections of Hunky Actor, who?s currently missing in action.
(Pop trivia: Googling Viveka now leads to her latest endorsement, a condom ad.)
Regrets only
Drama Actor is upset that he was replaced on a show? especially since it was recently made clear that celebrities with political plans are not banned from working on TV.
DA tried to get back his old job?but management seems happy with his replacement, Younger Stud.
Luckily, another Prized Talent left the network, leaving a new hosting gig open for DA.
All?s well that ends well.
Deny-confirm
Publicly, TV Exec denied that TV5 dangled him a cushy new job.
Privately, TE cracked under pressure and admitted that there?s truth to the rumor.
TE?s friend confirmed the existence of an offer as well.
Bad move for Claudine
Concerned supporters think GMA 7?s plan to cast Claudine Barretto in the sequel of ?Ouija? is a bad move. After all, the original starred Claudine?s perceived onscreen rival Judy Ann Santos.
It?s as if Claudine is settling for sloppy seconds. But is a movie with former flame Mark Anthony Fernandez a better option?
Sundance-worthy
Los angeles?Ben Affleck, Katie Holmes, rapper 50 Cent and ?The Twilight Saga: New Moon? co-stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are taking their acts to the Sundance Film Festival.
They are among the stars of big-name premieres announced Thursday for Robert Redford?s independent-film showcase that runs Jan. 21-31 next year in Park City, Utah.
Stewart and Fanning team up for director Floria Sigismondi?s ?The Runaways,? a portrait of rocker Joan Jett as she forms her band in the 1970s. Stewart also stars in the Sundance entry ?Welcome to the Rileys,? one of 16 films in the festival?s US dramatic competition. AP
