AN INTERNAL network war is brewing and it has reached the Net, specifically Facebook.

Smarting from the demise of a show, Network Insider has been posting unsavory comments vs Former Colleague.

In cahoots with Network Bigwig, FC has been disparaging Newly Recruited Star as ?talentless,? seeking to instead promote Other Stars, whose gifts are truly dubious.

It didn?t escape the attention of Channel Boss that FC and NB are too eager to protect the interests of OS and their Talent Manager, though.

To get even, another Channel Exec and Show biz Manager have been posting pro-NRS messages on their FB pages.

It?s really a showdown between two managers and two big execs. Is this a grave misuse of technology or ? is it?

Whiff of polluted air

Talk about the great equalizer. Kapamilya Hunk and Kapuso Stud both have halitosis. But a source says the causes differ. KH?s is purportedly due to substance abuse and poor hygiene: KS?, due to constant dieting.

Waiting for Mo

Kapuso Insider points out that it may take a while before Mo Twister can leave GMA 7?s ?Showbiz Central,? to join former nemesis Cristy Fermin on the TV5 Sunday afternoon gab fest ?Paparazzi? ? contrary to the announcement made by co-host Ruffa Gutierrez in her press conference.

A TV5 source insists that Mo doesn?t have a ?live? contract with GMA 7, but concedes that a few kinks should be ironed out first. For once, Mo?s new show can?t collide head-on with his old program.

As a result, TV5 has given ?Paparazzi? an earlier time slot, before ?Central? and ?Buzz.?

?The plan is for it to begin at 2:30 and end at 4 p.m.,? said a mole.

Joining Cristy and Ruffa on the new show is Inquirer columnist Dolly Anne Carvajal, completing the TV5 troika as they wait for Mo who may finally go on board in May.

Ruffa?s reason

Ruffa Gutierrez states her reason for leaving ?The Buzz? to join TV5 simply thus, ?I need to secure my daughters? future.? ?Nuff said.

War and pieces

Controversial Star thought she had patched things up with equally Scandalous Celebrity.

CS even sent flowers and consoled with SC recently. But SC is still fuming, complaining that CS was merely using the ?reconciliation? for ?political purposes.?

SC insists: ?CS didn?t commiserate with a friend last year. Was it because the election was too far away then??

Colorful celebration

GMA Pinoy TV brings big Kapuso celebration to North California today.

Dubbed ?Celebrate Life,? the concert-cum-fashion show is being held at the Sta. Clara Convention Center in Sta. Clara, California. It will feature GMA 7 artists Jay R and Kyla, Mark Herras, Dennis Trillo, Wilma Doesnt, Nonito Donaire Jr. and Steven Silva.

To be showcased are the fashion creations of California-based Pinoy designers Rina Palma and Crisanta Malig. The Kapuso stars will have a meet-and-greet with fans after the show.
