MATINEE idol has left many women heartbroken.

But the dejected ladies, including Popular Star (who was traumatized by the guy?s two-timing ways), can take consolation in this unsavory rumor:

MI, as a young boy, allegedly succumbed to the false promises of Gay Insider, who promised him fame and fortune in exchange for a brief fling. (GI purportedly victimized Playboy Hunk when the latter was just starting in the biz, too.)

MI was also rumored to have cheated on his Non-Showbiz Girlfriend with her Gay Best Buddy. Ew.

No return, no exchange

The supposed affair of Hunky Reporter and Gay Politico is top talk over at the former?s workplace.

It was reported that HR was forced to return GP?s expensive gifts, including a laptop, upon instruction of the Top Bosses.

But, according to a mole, HR didn?t actually give back the presents.

The bigger issue for us is: Are HR and GP still an item?

Unofficial story

Pretty Star is reportedly depressed over her breakup with Handsome Partner.

The official story is that HP dumped PS for Sexy Starlet.

At least that?s what HP?s handlers would like the public to believe.

According to the unofficial account, PS broke up with HP after she found out that he is the kept boy of Rich Gay.

Now, that?s a deal-breaker.

Stars, snobs

A mole reports that Dramatic Actress, who was never known for her charismatic ways, was aloof to fans when she had a shoot in a women?s prison.

What is more shocking is that supposedly friendly Famous Actress snubbed fans during the same location shoot.

FA was allegedly stand-offish and avoided eye contact with other people.

?Chinita? syndrome

Moreno Hunk seems to be fond of chinky-eyed girls. All the women in MH?s life, past and present, were/are cute and fair-skinned China dolls.

Even Latest Girl, who was allegedly involved with MH, fits the bill, of course.

LG, a budding celebrity, quickly denied the scuttlebutt.

Just asking: Was the Gay Comic linked to MH also a chinito?

Gash!

Wrong starlet

Rushes received a text from Showbiz Insider, who tried to guess last Sunday?s item on Pretty Starlet who brings along her mom on dates with sleazy politicos.

SI?s guess was way off the mark.

Still, SI offered juicy tidbits about Older Starlet who brings along her own Kooky Mother to her ?dates? with other crooked politicos.

?KM hardly makes sense and rambles on and on,? SI notes. ?To her credit, however, OS genuinely loves her mother, no matter what.?

Goofs

Inquirer Entertainment very rarely goofs, but here are two corrections that are in order: In the feature on TV host Connie Sison (?To look good, first feel good,? July 30), the subject is a regular talent of ?Unang Hirit? ? not the rival program. And in the story on Ruffa Gutierrez (?I can?t fall in love this year,? July 25), we said the actress-TV host had a brief romance with John Lloyd Cruz, nine years her senior. Not! He is nine years younger.

?Sharon? bids farewell

Sharon Cuneta?s Sunday night show ?Sharon? will soon bid goodbye. The ABS-CBN program will reportedly be reformatted into a talent search where she will mentor aspiring stars.

She has also started taping her lifestyle show, ?Sharon at Home.? According to the grapevine, there are two other TV shows in the works for Sharon, who is gearing up for her concert, ?Mega Drama,? this Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum.
