MANILA, Philippines--Top Exec is livid. TE and Influential Insider used to have cordial, even productive, relations.
That was until II sided with Controversial Personality, who is at odds with TE's company.
One day, II set a meeting with TE for an upcoming project starring Young Love Team.
When TE heard, all hell broke loose. TE was overheard screaming, "Ignore II ... who has no time for us and is busy with CP."
Exodus times three
Three Beautiful Stars are allegedly on the verge of leaving Top Channel for Revitalized Network.
There is a fear that BS may be put in the freezer because of their Big Boss' alliance with TC's Sworn Enemy. The BS are Popular Singer, Pretty Host and Sexy Starlet.
Another defector
Powerful Insider is also being rumored as transferring from Major Network to Revitalized Channel.
PI is unhappy about recent setbacks, including failed high-profile projects.
Will PI bring along a bevy of beaus when the time comes for the big move?
Is the move a package deal including Plus Hunk?
PI's new boss would love that.
Hunk with a past
Handsome Hunk is fast gaining a reputation. He looks tough and gruff on the outside, but he allegedly had a live-in gay lover when he was younger.
Yup, that was long before he decided to court stardom. There's also talk that HH's brain was fried by indiscriminate drug use as a teenager.
Dolphy's last?
The pneumonia that struck Dolphy while filming "Father Jejemon" recently was his third attack in the past several years.
The Comedy King recalled his doctor telling him that he almost died the previous time--while working on the ABS-CBN show, "John and Shirley."
Pidol is thankful that he has pulled through and got to finish "Jejemon," an entry to the coming Metro Manila Film Festival for his own RVQ Productions.
He's 82; he said this could be his last movie. He used to work 44 hours straight, Dolphy said, but obviously he can't do that now.
Proud mom
Pia Magalona on "Unang Hirit," talking about her children Maxene, Saab, Elmo, and Arkin, singing a contract with the GMA Artist Center, "Marami talaga silang kayang gawin, at itulong sa Philippine society."
Straight English
Manny Pacquiao looked dapper in a suit and tie as he performed his signature song, "Para Sa'yo Ang Laban Na 'To," on "Willing Willie" December 10. Afterwards, Willie Revillame asked the champ to greet his wife, Jinkee. His message: "I love you, and I'll always be with you forever. That's English!"
That's a knockout!
Out of bounds
With Kris Aquino revealing that his estranged husband, James Yap, will be doing a cameo role as a body double in her upcoming horror flick, "Dalaw," people are wondering, wouldn't this re-ignite their romance? The reigning PBA MVP's reply on "TV Patrol" December 8: "'Yan ang 'di ko masagot."
No comment
News anchor Ted Failon confirmed on "Showbiz News Ngayon" that he and Kris Aquino were indeed set to have dinner, but stressed that they were just good friends. When "SNN" pressed, Failon laughed, and excused himself.
Unequal footing
Also on "SNN," December 8, Vicki Belo, said her controversial beau, Hayden Kho, needs to build his own career to boost his self-esteem and enhance their relationship. "I don't want a relationship where he's always seen as affixed to me. Hopefully, [we can have] a relationship of equals," said Vicki.
Happy birthdays!
