MANILA, Philippines?Will the real walkout Queen please stand up?
After Ruffa Gutierrez?s tearful retreat from ?The Buzz? and Gretchen Barretto?s furious departure from a press conference, here?s another prima-donna walkout.
Dramatic Actress is allegedly ?difficult? to work with, according to a production insider. The crew had tried to make all sorts of excuses for DA?s erratic behavior... until she stormed out of the set in the middle of a shoot. Her shockingly simple reason: ?I didn?t like the script.?
Eyeball gone awry
Macho Host was involved in a hot and heavy SMS flirtation with Anonymous Stranger.
After a sex-ting (sexually charged texting) spell, MH arranged a face-to-face encounter, what teeners call an ?eyeball,? at an upscale mall.
MH was shocked to discover that AS was Popular Hunk. MH backed out and reported PH?s extra-curricular activities to a colleague, Top Anchor in the closeted gay?s home network.
7 degrees of separation
MH need not be hypocritical. He is said to have had flings of the third kind as a young man in the boonies. He was also the inamorata of Controversial Designer.
Apart from MH, CD was also smitten with Actor-Politico. Coincidentally, AP was once linked with Aging Designer, too. Meanwhile, AD was involved with Handsome Hunk as well.
Common denominator
Which brings us to HH?s alleged benefactor, Gay Mogul.
GM supposedly baits and hooks hunky university athletes with expensive gifts, including high-tech cell phones and laptops. No wonder GM has first dibs on the cutest studs.
Swing-out brother
Who could?ve have known Macho Singer was a swinger?
Last linked to Sweet Crooner and Sexy Actress, MS purportedly succumbs to gay admirers, especially when he?s drunk.
Twit picks
Random quotes from celebs? Twitter accounts, mostly about the wonders of technology.
Anne Curtis asks: ?Guys, what Internet provider would you recommend ... one [with] super fast connection ... even in high-rise buildings??
Zsazsa Padilla is perplexed: ?How do you fix the volume of an iPod? Obsolete. LOL!?
Jed Madela is ecstatic: ?Downloaded the ?Glee? application on my iPad. Fun!?
KC Concepcion raves: ?I want to ride my own toothless dragon. I just saw ?How to Train Your Dragon.??
What condition?
Trusted Spy reports: ?The beautiful Angelica Panganiban was expected at a meet-and-greet with fans at Resorts World Manila?s special show, ?Boys Night Out.? Toward the end of the program, Jake Cuenca, Angelica?s coendorser for a beverage, apologized to the SRO audience on her behalf. Angelica ?wasn?t feeling well.? It was the second time in recent weeks that the actress? health failed her. Only last month, her costar Diether Ocampo reportedly carried her out from the location shoot of her ABS-CBN teleserye ?Rubi? and rushed her to the hospital. Luckily, on this more recent occasion, there were Russian, Ukrainian and local performers to save the show, including Viva?s new girlie group Eurasia and singer-comedienne Giselle Sanchez. Malaysian and Singaporean guests who flew in for the event seemed unperturbed by Angelica?s absence: Giselle was more than enough for them, especially when Sam YG, Tony Toni and Slick Rick joined Giselle onstage.?
Jellyfish boy
The British boys? choir Libera was back for a quick Manila stop recently. The boys sang for fans in an invitational concert at RCBC Building?s Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium. They have added Philippine stories to their collection of tales from around the world.
Little Freddie Ingles (he can?t be more than 10) noted that, at last, there is a place in the song ?Orinoco Flow? (one of the most-requested in their repertoire) that they have seen: Cebu (where they performed last October after a gig at the PICC)! Also, Freddy related that older boy Liam Connery was stung by a jellyfish while they were on a beach in Mactan.
Libera music will be featured on all Philippine Airlines flights for six months starting May.
