TWO TOP STARS MET WITH Network Bosses to iron out kinks in Beleaguered Show.
NB wondered why BS was being clobbered by the rival program. TS told the truth, and Channel Exec landed in big trouble. According to scuttlebutt, Loyal Underling may have to take the bullet for CE, who?d do anything, including sell a relative, to dodge the gallows.
On-off king and queen
What?s the deal? Beautiful Starlet and Cutie Hunk have been rumored as on-off more often than a light switch. Recently, CH allegedly broke up with BS.
With dispatch, BS camp leaked that the couple had in fact tied the knot. According to an insider, BS begged CH not to leave her, avowing, ?I?d die without you!
Son-in-law?s secret
Veteran Star was never keen on Gorgeous Actor, whom her Pretty Daughter married. Today, VS is still ranting.
VS knows GA?s secret and, in a fit of blind rage, once exclaimed, for all the world to hear: ?He was linked to a Gay Director!?
And now, to Gay Billionaire.
Hosto?s pain
Indie Actor bared his all in a number of flicks. Still, his star failed to shine locally, forcing IA to fly to Japan and work as a hosto (guest relations officer) in nightclubs.
He earned well throughout his stay. But homesickness got the better of him and he spent half a million pesos in overseas phone bills.
Life?s not all glamour in Japan, he said. He?d often wake up all black and blue, he recalled. ?Fellow hostos from the Philippines were jealous and would mug me while I was drunk because I was popular among guests.?
Bizarre love triangle
Sexy Starlet looks so enamored with Handsome Hunk, who?s equally smitten.
Who knew that before SS and HH hooked up, there was another person in the guy?s life? HH was supposedly involved with Gay Director, who?s also a friend of SS?. In fact, GD introduced SS to HH!
