Bargain beauty strikes again 

REMEMBER last Sunday’s Fading Star? She has been having cash-flow problems of late—like most Pinoys.

FS reportedly pulled out hot-ticket items from an upscale boutique that she used to endorse ... and held a garage sale.

Bright idea. Except that FS sold the expensive items at P30 to P50 a pop. Quite obviously, business is not her calling.






Prima donna, reinvented

Pretty Singer has earned a nasty reputation. Mole says she is a prima donna who likes making people wait in her gigs. She has lost jobs because of this.

Then, she suddenly reinvented herself into a trouper. This is why PS is very visible on the boob tube these days. She wants promoters to know she’s reliable ... and available.





Floating devices redux

Hard-Hitting Host is in a quandary. Seems HH is reluctant to accept home studio’s current offer. Unhappy, HH started “floating” rumors of opportunities from rival networks, according to a colleague.

Concocting “piracy” rumors apparently worked for Controversial Host, who landed HH’s old job.






Going downhill
Acclaimed Veteran had high hopes for new Media Company. AV thought MC was a viable alternative to the current scene, which is far from ideal.

Alas, AV found out that MC was offering more of the same dubious and disappointing fare from AV’s previous studio.

To illustrate: AV noted that Notorious Manager is currently lording it over at the MC—having disturbingly strong influence over matters that go beyond talent management.






Spotted on the catwalk

Backstage at the Folded and Hung show during Fashion Week, Influential Gay was spotted being escorted, with queer VIP pals, to the best seats in the house so they’d have the best view of the scantily clad hunks on the ramp.

Unfortunately, one of the studs on the catwalk was IG’s Former Ward. Their parting had been far from amicable.

Did sparks fly? Was there tension in the air? Nah. Too many biceps as distraction.






Hunky model at celebrity GF, nag-away

May kuwento sa akin ang isang socialite friend ko tungkol sa isang hunky model (at ngayon ay showbiz wannabe), sa girlfriend nito na model/celebrity (at nakarelasyon dati ng isang top actor) at sa model/socialite na dating nakarelasyon ni hunky guy.

Sa isang party pala sa isang hotel sa may Makati, nagkita-kita ang tatlo.

Unang dumating si hunky guy with his current girlfriend, ang model/celebrity na pamangkin ng isang former beauty queen turned actress.

Maya-maya lang, dumating din sa party ang model na ex-girlfriend ni hunky guy.

Shorts-shorts or ****** shorts ang suot ni model ex-girlfriend.

Dumeretso si model ex-girlfriend sa bar at umorder ng drinks.

Maya-maya, tinanong ni hunky guy ang current girlfriend na model/celebrity kung gusto nito ng inumin at kukuha siya sa bar.

Pagdating ni hunky guy sa bar, kinausap niya ang model ex-girlfriend.

Ang tagal ng usapan ng dalawa at halos 30 minutes ‘yon na na-notice ng ibang mga tao sa party.

After the party, ang tsismis ay nag-away si hunky guy at ang current model/celebrity girlfriend niya.

Nagalit daw si model/celebrity girlfriend dahil ang tagal kinausap ni hunky guy ang model ex-girlfriend nito.

Kung sino si hunky guy? Galing siya sa isang political clan at noon pa ay kinukumbinsing mag-artista.
