MANILA, Philippines?All sorts of salacious rumors have been attached to Gay Exec who supposedly hires the services of Dubious Manager to procure hot hunks.

According to a mole, GE makes it a point not to be emotionally entangled with the Hunks for Hire.

In fact, GE allegedly observes a very strict and literal hands-off policy. Yup, GE only likes to watch while any HH performs solo. How?s that again, dude?

Reunion gift

Now that Controversial Star has reunited with On/Off Lover, the former?s cash flow problems are over.

OL, famously generous, often tells friends that he can?t take his wealth to the grave anyway.

A source says OL gave CS a multi-million luxury car as reunion gift. OL undoubtedly made a killing from the recent sale of a supposedly non-performing asset?contrary to rumors that the company had been sold at a loss.

Sworn enemies

As Alanis would sing: ?Isn?t it ironic, doncha think??

Young Host once skewered Veteran Host. If memory serves right, YH called VH a slew of unflattering names.

Many thought the bridge had been permanently burned between the two... until they were paired in an upcoming show in a neutral network.

Will sparks fly on the new program? Do birds fly south in the winter?

Sworn enemies 2

Unpopular Host sent ?pirate me? feelers to Another Network. Unfortunately, UH?s Former Colleague and sworn enemy in present station had been hired in AN as top honcho.

Alas, UH?s desire was nipped in the bud?primarily because UH once called FC a name synonymous to
?satanic.?

Lesson learned: Burning bridges is a no-no in the biz.

Who?s gossiping?

Senior Host asked friends in the media to spread the rumor of his possible move to Another Station.

Turned out, SH concocted the false rumor only because AS had offered Younger Co-Host a lucrative deal beforehand.

As luck would have it, YC is tied down with Present Channel, much like SH.

?SOP? rebooted

Making the rounds in the circuit (and the Net) is the rumor that the GMA 7 variety show ?SOP? will have its ?final concert? today.

According to the grapevine, the show will be reformatted, retooled, and then relaunched in two weeks as ?Party Pilipinas.? In the meantime, the Sunday noontime slot will be occupied by a movie and the Pacquiao-Clottey fight.

Clash of the divas

Glamorous Star is slated to leave Old Network for bigger projects in New Station. Seems GS will be given a chance to shine in NS, far from Jealous Divas of ON.

Fortunately or un, GS will be replaced by equally Controversial Star who is sure to incur the ire of JDs. CS will upstage JDs for sure?she can?t help it; she?s programmed that way.
