Matinee idol fails drug test, loses ad

MANILA, Philippines--A top insurance company reportedly junked its endorsement deal with Matinee Idol.

After the requisite medical exam, the IC reps were shocked to discover what Manila's chi chi crowd knew all along: MI is a notorious drug user; the urine test confirmed it.

Thus, MI lost a potentially lucrative job.

Male prima donna

Even a man can be a prima donna, yes. Drama Actor asked that his scenes in an upcoming movie be shot after a trip abroad. Movie Producer complied and rearranged the shooting schedule. But she bumped into DA at a show biz party. Turned out, DA never left town.

Look who's dating

A mole swears Dennis Trillo is smitten with "Mano Po 6" co-star Heart Evangelista. During a recent pictorial, Dennis couldn't keep his eyes off of Heart, the mole said.

At press time, the two Kapuso stars are reportedly dating, though another mole spotted Dennis having dinner with ex-girlfriend Cristine Reyes. Dennis explained that they were just tying up loose ends. "We need closure." (Right.)


Sexy starlet has her way with matinee idol

MANILA, Philippines--Out of town for an event, Sexy Starlet snuck into Matinee Idol's hotel room and had her way with the poor guy, who was as drunk as a skunk. "Rape" would be too strong a word, though, as MI was quite the willing victim.

Cornered by her Non-show biz Boyfriend, SS claimed she was "seduced" and "molested" by MI. NB confronted MI, then punched the living daylights out of the guy.

To get even, MI gathered some pals, including Character Actor and Controversial Personality and beat up NB days later.

Loyalty check

Rattled by the recent sale of a Fledgling Network, Big Boss of a major channel conducted a loyalty check among her Top Executives and Exclusive Stars. BB wanted to make sure they would not be lured away by new FN owner, High-profile Tycoon.

It takes one...oh, so true! BB's own network started its climb to success by pirating talents from rivals.

Wet, wet, wet

Remember Senior Star, who quit a soap opera because a scene required being pushed into a swimming pool? Turns out, Veteran Star left the same network after being asked to do a sequence in the rain--at 3 in the morning!

No spring chicken, VS almost caught pneumonia, said a source. What happened was, the taping lasted 'til the wee hours because the lead actor was late.


Typhoon donations gambled away

MANILA, Philippines--Can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Veteran Star is reportedly spearheading several fund-raising campaigns abroad for victims of Tropical Storm "Ondoy" and Typhoon "Pepeng."

But VS purportedly went straight to the casino after the shows--with one hand on the slot machine and the other on collected donations in her packed pocket.

Look who's eyeing TV 5

Apart from telecommunications giant PLDT, a pair of TV veterans, both former Kapamilyas, are reportedly interested in buying ABC 5.

Former Executive and Young Turk are reportedly teaming up with officers of rival Kapuso network to buy shares in the company.

Problem is, YT is linked with the campaign of a politico and could spark possible "conflict of interest" controversies.

Wisely hooked up

Gay Millionaire has a new love in Aging Actor.

Seems AA hooked up with GM because the latter can potentially buy a media outfit and breathe new life to the former's lackluster career.

AA really knows whom to woo, to win big in the biz.

GM also bought has-been Matinee Idol a new car--even though the guy is very much married.


Pretty stalker has dad's blessings

Rushes Sunday

MANILA, Philippines--Pretty Starlet is said to be stalking Controversial Celebrity.

Who knew sweet-looking PS could pull a Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction?" Unlike that one, however, PS has the blessing of her dad, Drama Actor, in her mad pursuit of CC.

DA is shamelessly pushing PS to seduce CC... again. Why? After one night with PS, CC reportedly promised to help DA campaign for office next year.

Tit for tat, they call this.

Cougar chaser

As reported in a previous edition of Rushes, Teen Hunk prefers much older women. Before joining a reality show, TH was the boy toy of Fiftysomething Matron.

Recently, TH was spotted wooing another cougar, Sexy Actress-same girl who claims to be 20 but is way older.

Does Indie Stud, SA's boyfriend, know about her fling with TH? Maybe IS is using SA as bait? Maybe IS wants to hire TH to be his Millionaire Gay Lover? Oops.

Resigned? Nope!

A false rumor was circulated on radio recently. Seems there was a concerted effort to spread it because Rushes received the same tip via SMS.

According to the grapevine, Talent Manager has joined forces with Network Executive and forced another Channel Officer to resign.

The scuttlebutt was a dud, denied by sources from the battlefield, este, TV network.


Mar-Korina honeymoon tweets

Rushes special

MANILA, Philippines--Arnel Pineda, front man of the US band Journey, was electrifying and unforgettable, as usual, as Cinemanila's choice for a performer to close its 11th awards edition. We just couldn't let this pass without notice. Rendering hits by Styx, Queen and Bon Jovi, Arnel brought audience members to their feet, including Taguig Mayor Sigfrido Tinga and Inquirer lifestyle columnist Tessa Prieto-Valdes, who both gamely sang along with the inimitable Pinoy rocker.

Twitter watch

Honeymooning in Japan, Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez find time to tweet:

Mar: Enjoying the quiet & being together...

Tried hot spring. Super init, dahandahan bigla parang panliligaw. Kakaaliw...

After a hearty jap meal, we're now setting off on a bicycle ride into the mountains.

Korina: Sobra na lamig dito. Si Mar gusto naglalakad sa lamig at ambon...

Ayaw ni Mar mag-isa, sinundo ako sa room. Sweet naman...

Si Mar parang bola! 5 layers--T-shirt, sweater, vest, jacket at bumili ng hat sa kanto para di lamigin tenga at bunbunan.
