MANILA, Philippines?Reality Singer and Gay Manager who used to live under one roof parted ways recently.
GM immediately shacked up with Has-Been Hunk. RS is now being managed by Different Manager who?s fabulously gay and wealthy.
At press time, RS and DM?s living arrangements are still undetermined.
Surgery room scandal
A wild rumor has been circulating in the medical community. Operating room staffers of a major hospital were reportedly sacked!
Turned out, the hospital administration learned of a rather disturbing hobby of its employees: Taking ?clinical? shots of sedated stars? private parts.
Among the alleged victims are Reality Actress and Pretty TV Personality. Their naked photos are said to have been passed around in this tight-knit crew. Until karma caught up with them.
Botched procedure
Now it can be told. It was a routine cosmetic procedure for Veteran Actress, but something went horribly wrong, resulting in irreparable damage.
VA?s vocal cords were ruined on account of anesthesia overdose, according to someone in the star?s inner sanctum.
Now VA merely lip syncs in her shows. She is said to be contemplating a malpractice suit.
Paying for loyalty
Popular Star is terrified of being upstaged by co-workers. So PS has been buying their loyalty.
PS allegedly gave Talented Co-Star an expensive present. Very expensive. PS also gave Another Colleague a pricey gadget. To think PS and AC recently had a very public tiff.
PS has done this often in the past, reports have it.
Once, when Cute Hunk said that he had nothing to wear for their date (which could?ve been a polite brush-off), PS bought the latest collection of a designer store. The guy was stunned. No more excuses!
Perennial Mega-Ninang
During her ?Mega Drama? concert at the Araneta Coliseum on Saturday, Sharon Cuneta announced that Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez were tying the knot in December.
Onstage, Sharon revealed that she would be among the couple?s principal sponsors. Between numbers, Sharon asked Ogie why they chose her as ninang. Ogie dutifully replied: ?We want to be touched by your good luck.?
Ogie said he asked another lucky charmer, Lea Salonga, to sing at the ceremony.
Top of the talk shows
For those who missed last weekend?s gabfests on TV. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)
Robin Padilla?s message to Mariel Rodriguez:
?Sagutin mo ako, [o] hindi, itago mo yang singsing. Anuman ang mangyari, itago mo iyan. Sa iyo iyan. Hindi ako nagsisinungaling sa iyo Mariel, mahal kita.? (Kilig! Who bought that ring kaya?)
Zanjoe Marudo on the brewing Robin Padilla-Mariel Rodriguez romance:
?Wala akong maramdaman. Natuwa ako na may nag-aalaga na sa kanya. Masaya ako [para] kay Mariel.? (Napaka-exciting namang answer ito.)
Rima Ostwani on breaking up with Diether Ocampo:
?There were a couple of very painful incidents that he put me through, which I felt were unnecessary and that?s when I realized, kung kaya niyang gawin ?yan, talagang he doesn?t even give our relationship importance. I felt very much taken for granted.? (Shaks. What could those incidents be?)
Angelica Panganiban on Gretchen Barretto:
?Siguro gusto kong humingi ng pasensiya sa mga nabitawan kong salita, hindi ko siya kilala, hindi niya ko kilala. Ngayon naiintindihan ko, unti-unti ko siyang nakikilala and ?yung mga tao sa paligid namin nagsasabi mabuti siyang tao at ang nagsabi nun si Derek din mismo. Kung nasaktan niya ako, nasaktan ko rin siya kaya sorry. And sana maka-build ako ng friendship sa kanya. ?Yun lang sana hindi pa huli ang lahat.? (Sa show biz? Never too late!)
James Yap?s mom Annie, on the separation of James and Kris Aquino:
?Ang lahat ng kasalanan binubunton niya (Kris) sa anak ko. Sana huwag naman, kasi hindi naman tayo perfect, di ba? Ang Diyos lang ang perfect.? (Gusto po niya, perfect. Sorry.)
Annie on Kris:
?Nagsasabi ako ng totoo? di ako plastic. Kasi sinabi sa akin ni James na sila na raw. Tapos okay daw ba ako? Sabi ko sa kanila, siyempre Kris Aquino, sabi ko, ?No! Ayoko!,? sabi ko sa kanya. ?So bakit, Ma?? sabi niya. Sabi ko, ?Basta ayoko sa kanya? Sa totoo lang, tutol talaga ako kasi alam mo naman si Kris, di ba? Pero sa huli, gusto ng anak ko. Wala kaming magawa, di ba?? (O, di ba?)
Ogie Alcasid?s announcement regarding his wedding to Regine Velasquez:
?Yung aking petition sa annulment ko po nung June 21 ay na-grant na po. Kami po kasama ng aking mga abogado inaayos na po naming lahat para masimulan ko na ang buhay ko na kasama si Regine.? (Kilig uli.)
Sarah Geronimo on being the cause of the alleged breakup of Cristine Reyes and Rayver Cruz:
?Ayoko na pong pag-usapan ?yan, please, wala akong reaksyon, please, tama na ?yan, sobra na, ewan ko, tama na ?yan. ?Di magandang pag-usapan.? (We heard you the first time. Tama na!)
