A LOCAL power couple joins Hollywood stars Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins in the list of those who separated after years of partnership.
The man is an industry leader, while his wife is the sister of a Top Singer.
Friends of the Power Couple expressed sadness over the separation, which they hope is only temporary.
Tough competition
Upstart Director is spreading the rumor that Respected Filmmaker stole a pet project ? a remake of an acclaimed classic.
Problem is that the scuttlebutt reached RF?s ears.
Exasperated, RF revealed that it was UD who filched at least two movies ? which, as luck would have it, both bombed among critics.
Here?s the backstory: UD earlier badmouthed RF in front of a Movie Producer, an incident that reached RF, too.
Tsk, tsk. Competition brings out a friend?s fangs?
Not-so-glamorous past
Glamorous Actress is now living the high life ? after marrying into a rich clan.
According to the grapevine, however, GA had a less than glitzy past.
GA was a ?working girl? in her teens. A mole claimed that GA used to work as a GRO in a bar.
Nothing shameful about being a GRO? But an Ex-Boyfriend was once quoted as saying: ?GA is very effective playing hookers.?
Everyone?s friend
Call Veteran Actress everyone?s amiga (friend).
A source claims that it doesn?t matter who wins in next year?s election. Whether administration or opposition, VA is assured of being appointed chair of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board.
It?s because VA has accumulated enough good will to last two, nay, three lifetimes.
New franchise
There is talk that ABS-CBN has acquired a new international reality show franchise after ?Big Brother? and ?Britain?s Got Talent.?
According to an insider, the Kapamilya channel will churn out a local version of the ?Biggest Loser? ? a show which puts plump contestants through a weight-loss regimen.
Perhaps the network should start with a celebrity edition, with out-of-shape Kapamilyas and Kapusos, pronto.
Secret ?Shake? message
In the ?Ukay-Ukay? episode of ?Shake, Rattle & Roll XI,? there?s a secret message that made it onscreen ? Mother Lily notwithstanding.
In one scene, a cinema marquee read: ?RIP: Alex and Nica.?
It looks like a tribute to slain critics and indie film buffs Alexis Tioseco and Nica Bohinc.
And people think ?Shake? is mindless entertainment?
Weird but happy feeling
Speaking of ?Ukay-Ukay,? here?s a random quote from Carmina Villaroel, regarding the screen reunion of husband Zoren Legazpi with ex-girlfriend Ruffa Gutierrez in that episode of ?Shake.?
?At first, it felt weird. But Ruffa and I are mag-kumare. I don?t mind. I?m happy and excited for Zoren. I?m very secure with him naman. That happened a long time ago and we?re all friends now,? said Carmina.
