DRAMA Actor?s behavior problems may cost him his once-promising career.

More than the official sanctions from producers and other industry leaders, DA should be worried about the silent boycott of his peers.

DA has gained such an unsavory reputation that his fellow actors refuse to work with him.

Acclaimed Indie Actress backed out of a project after being warned by a friend about DA?s nasty rep. ?DA may take advantage daw, especially since we have love scenes, according to the script,? IA confessed. ?I decided to quit and avoid the aggravation.?

DA should shape up, pronto.

Troubled thespian 2

Here?s another tale of a troubled thespian: Co-workers complain that Acclaimed Actor has an attitude of the wrong kind.

AA allegedly smoked weed and drank booze on a movie set. Worse, he shared the stash and bottle with Lead Star, who was unable to work the next day because of a major hangover.

The delay entailed additional costs and AA was blamed for the production losses.

Just say no

Glamorous Producer was shocked out of her wits.

When Newbie Director barged into GP?s meeting, she accommodated the gate crasher?much to her regret. ND tried to borrow money from her, and was quite insistent.

Fortunately, Concerned Friend (seated across the table) managed to warn GP, who judiciously declined the request.

Eat and tell

Budding Producers were hurt when they learned that an Acclaimed Actress had a mouthful to say against their project.

AA allegedly complained that the BPs were stingy and allowed her to go hungry on the set.

But the BPs insisted they prepared and provided ?special food? for AA. An insider confirmed that ?she was fed well.?

Pros and cons

Wealthy Actor wanted to make a show biz comeback. He hooked up with Young Producer, whom he thought was a pro.

WA was frustrated when he had the project audited. YP couldn?t provide receipts for some expenses, leaving WA no other recourse but to sue. He has warned YP that an estafa case is in the offing.

Artificial pregnancy OK

Regine Velasquez knows that conceiving at her age, 40, will not be easy. The new Mrs. Alcasid says she is willing to try artificial insemination.

But should all their efforts prove futile, she says, she will still be content: ?Ogie looks like a baby, anyway.?

Hopkin?s dream role

LOS ANGELES?Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins says he hopes to play legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock on screen and has been attached to such a project for four years.

Hopkins, 73, says Hitchcock was ?a very interesting man, very strange guy, very dark man.? He says that 50 years ago, he saw a film about the making of ?Psycho? that stuck with him as ?the most frightening film I have ever seen.?
He says British director Sacha Gervasi is set to direct the Hitchcock film. AP

Kylie?s birthday

For her 18th birthday, Kylie Padilla received shopping money as a gift from her dad, Robin, and a box of makeup from stepmother Mariel Rodriguez.

?I was so thrilled when I saw Tita Mariel?s gift?25 pieces of Mac makeup,? Kylie told Rushes? Marinel Cruz. ?I guess she knew what I liked because she always sees me do my own face.?

Kylie described her stepmom, only eight years her senior, as ?super kind.? She explained: ?I say this from the heart. It amazes me how she is able to read my mind. She finishes off my sentences for me sometimes. Often, we don?t have to say the words. We just look at each other and know exactly what the other person means.?

Kylie said she got clothes as presents from her mom, Liezl Sycangco, who is based in Australia. ?She took me out to shop when my sister (Queenie) and I spent the holidays in Queensland,? Kylie said.
