VETERAN Actress got a reality check recently. She was made to wait for hours on the set of a TV show and had to cancel her next appointment because the taping was delayed.

VA was shocked to find out the reason for the l-o-n-g wait. Turned out, the show?s lead, Pretty Starlet, went out on a date with her boyfriend. The unprofessional ways of PS are being tolerated by the director and network bosses! Worse, PS had the temerity to get upset when coworkers complained about the incident.

Super groupie

Gorgeous Celebrity was supposedly spreading the rumor herself. She claims she will be the ?personal escort? of big Hollywood Star reported to be visiting the country soon.

HS is allegedly livid that certain people, GC included, are blabbing about the so-called trip. GC?s illusions may sink faster than the Titanic did.

Rumormonger

Popular Star need not look far to know who?s been spreading rumors about her supposedly troubled marriage.

Rumor Monger is someone very close to PS. As in, someone in her family.

The painful part: RM is someone PS looks up to as an authoritative and stable force in their clan. He?s the opposite of that pala.

Stars? exodus

Top Manager is feeling the pressure. First, TM?s Senior Stars fled the coop. A few Handsome Hunks followed suit. Now Sexy Starlets are contemplating on leaving TM?s nest.

TM is working double time to prevent his stars? exodus. Or is that karma catching up with TM? After all, he is known to have stepped on Poor Colleague by pirating once Popular Talent.

From a distance

Back when he was still considered a heartthrob, Matinee Idol had to hide in the closet.

When a traveling troupe of exotic male dancers came to town, MI had to admire the hunks from a distance.

MI allegedly wrote a loving fan letter to one of the guys.

Older and wiser, but still looking fab, MI is now ready to emerge from the closet.

?Atta girl.

Top of the talk shows

For those who missed last weekend?s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)

Paulo Avelino on LJ Reyes? delivery of their newborn son, Ethan:

?Okey lang daw po kasi mabilis naman ang delivery. Sobrang healthy naman at ang taba po ng baby.? (Congratulations!)

Dina Bonnevie, asked if Vic Sotto still has a place in her heart:

?Yes. Hindi naman mawawala yun. He?s the father of my children. Ang maipupuri ko naman kay Vic, kahit na nagkahiwalay kami, he respects me. If I have a problem, he?s there, he helps. Sobrang bait niya.? (Hmmm.)

Ogie Alcasid on reports he will marry Regine Velasquez in December:

?There will be a time when we will be saying things. But it?s not yet now. Regarding any of those announcements, there?s nothing definite about those. But as soon as things are really, really final, as soon as things are definite, you will hear from me.? (You heard the man? let?s all quit holding our breath for now.)

Ogie on Regine:

?I really want to marry this woman. That is the desire of my heart. If that is granted by God, then I?d be the happiest man on earth. If it is granted, then thank you, Father. It will be a great blessing. And I promise you (Regine), I will make you the happiest woman on earth.? (Ayan, on earth daw, ha!)

Regine?s reaction:

?Sa buong buhay ko naman, wala naman akong ibang gustong mangyari kundi pakasalan ni Ogie Alcasid.? (Nilalanggam kami!)

Regine on getting pregnant:

?We?re still waiting for something?we all know what. Siguro next year. Kung bibigyan kami ni God ng isa pang blessing, na magkaroon ng baby, I would really be happy...Pag ginawa ko ?to, I have to rest. Kailangan talaga, hindi naman na ako bata. Kailangan ko na talagang magpahinga. I have to take a leave. I can?t do a show. Wala munang concert, walang anything else except stay at home, take care of myself and my honey.? (And the baby!)

Vicki Belo on Hayden Kho:

?Mahal ko yung tao talaga, as in mahal. Kahit mag-asawa pa yun ng iba or may ibang girlfriend, palagi kong sinasabi, ?Just tell me, okay lang sa akin. Honestly, that?s all I ask, ?wag mo namang itago, there?s no reason.? (Huh?)

Vicki on the controversial botox and thermage procedures on Charice Pempengco:

?Wala akong ginawang surgical procedure kay Charice. Facial lang at saka thermage ang ginawa namin sa kanya para lumiit yung face niya. Tinatanong na nga ako ng lahat kung ginawa ko ba ang ilong niya, ni-lipo ko ba siya? Wala akong gagawing ganoon kasi I think she?s perfect the way she is.? (So pray, why?) Gerry Plaza
