On magazine covers they look like the perfect couple. But there?s trouble in paradise.

The female half of the couple, Lovely Actress, purportedly admits having psychological problems. Close friends suspect she?s bipolar. Whenever she throws temper tantrums, her husband, Macho Star, is reduced to tears.

It?s that bad.

No wonder insiders suspect that LA had pushed former lovers to either drugs or ... the grave. Or both?

Reunited

Talk is that Hunky Actor and Cutie Singer have broken up.

But there?s also a persistent rumor that HA and CS are back together?especially because the two closet gays were recently spotted celebrating a special occasion: HA?s birthday.

This is called ?bromance.?

Cruel lover

Here?s a fake romance: Gorgeous Celebrity would like to believe that Millionaire Partner is devoted to her in spite of her numerous foibles, public and private.

Turns out, MP had told a friend he would ?drop? GC when she grows older and her beauty fades. ?When no one else would take her, I?ll throw her out,? were his exact words.

Ouch.

Rumor is, MP has reduced GC?s allowance as well. Double ouch.

Blame drugs

Drama Actress and Pretty Actress used to be the best of pals. Competition drove a wedge between them.

PA heard from Male Co-star that DA had been bad-mouthing her, and that DA claimed PA had been stealing projects from her.

?I could believe it if it were her mom who was spreading those rumors because she?s that crass, but not my friend,? PA complained.

?I hope she solves whatever her problem is,? PA sighed.

It?s a drug problem, dear.

?Frenemies? forever

If Beautiful Actress is no longer chummy with Gorgeous Star, it?s because the latter has the tendency to steal the former?s men.

First was Model Boyfriend. According to a source, GS spotted MB on the set and quickly disappeared with him for a quickie.

Then there was Action Star. GS also had a fling with him, while BA and AS were an item.

What finally broke their friendship was when BA caught GS canoodling with Hunky Actor, who was living in with BA at the time!

BA was so upset, she threw out HA?s stuff in the streets?a spectacle witnessed by neighbors.

Top of the talk shows

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

? Mark Anthony Fernandez on allegations he is leaving his primetime show because of drug problems:

?Wala pong katotohanan yun. Wala po akong rason para mag-drugs. Walang rason para saktan ko ang sarili ko. Kahit ang mga kasamahan ko po rito sa set, alam po yun. Malinis ang kunsensiya ko kung kaya?t hindi naman po ako naapektuhan.? (Good boy.)

? Pokwang on her cancer-stricken Japanese ex-husband, who wants to see the grave of their son who died of an illness years ago:

?Bakit ngayon lang? Gusto niyang humingi ng tawad. Sabi ko, ?Napatawad ka na ng anak mo. Bata yon, angel yon.?? (Oo nga naman.)

? Bianca King, asked if a Twitter post she made that said ?gold digging home wrecker? had referred to Krista Ranillo, whose aunt Suzette she said kicked her out of a dressing tent:

?Napaka-insignificant nga po ng post na yun. I deleted na po. Ni hindi nga po siya dapat pag-usapan. Mga (Twitter) post minsan, napaka-ambiguous na hindi mo malalaman kung ano talaga ang meaning.? (That?s right, blame Twitter.)

? Anjo Yllana, asked if rumors of a romance between Joey Marquez and Joanne Quintas were true:

?Tingin ko totoo yan ? si Joey kasi mapagmahal? Kadalasan na tsismis kay Joey, totoo!? (A friend knows.)

? Annabelle Rama on the Department of Justice decision supporting a libel case against an entertainment news website that reported an alleged ?gun-toting? altercation involving son Richard Gutierrez and Michael Flores:

?Ang pamilya ko, haping-happy? Ito na ang pinakamasaya kong Pasko at ito ang pinakamaganda kong regalo, sa amin, ng DOJ. Maraming-maraming salamat na-review ang aming kaso ? Imbento naman talaga ?yon (report).?

? Jinkee Pacquiao on talking with husband Manny Pacquiao about his alleged affair with Krista Ranillo:

?Sinabi niyang parang malapit silang magkaibigan, iniisip ko lang, kaibigan? Pero naging ka-ibigan... kapag naging close ka sa isang tao, minsan, parang dumating sa point na parang hindi na kaibigan yung turing niyo.? (Was that a yes, it happened?)

? Manny on conversations with Krista regarding the controversy:

?Wala? tawa na lang kami. Tawa na lang siya, tawa na lang din ako.?
(Hahaha!)
