AT least two moles have confirmed this flaming scuttlebutt: Former Sexy Actor has been spotted in mall cinemas cruising for hunks younger than his sons. Uh-oh.

FSA reportedly wears basketball jerseys when looking for action. Another source relates that FSA is a regular in massage parlors featuring masseurs who service rich, aging gays. Double uh-oh.

Mole says he’d rather “date” FSA’s gorgeous sons. Uh-oh-oh.

Versions of a word war
Rushes received an SMS relating that Veteran Actress was booted from an indie movie because she was three hours late. The texter said Veteran Director gave VA a rather colorful tongue-lashing in front of the cast and crew. A source claimed that VA cried foul in her Facebook account, complaining that she was “publicly shamed.” Eye Witness has denied the rumors, saying VD scolded VA on the phone and VA wasn’t fired. “That was the last shooting day,” said EW. “She was merely written out of the scene.” (Not the same thing?)

Wanted: Perfect Manager

Talents “orphaned” by manager Douglas Quijano had a longish closed-door meeting on Sunday night to decide their future.
June Rufino, president of Professional Artists’ Managers Inc. (Pami), said Pami will help Doug’s talents in the interim. “They can call any one of us,” she said.
Nadia Montenegro, a former ward of Douglas, denied the rumor that she’s a leading candidate as replacement. She said she’s focusing on the weight-loss challenge posed by a beauty clinic (Mikaela). “We bet on it. I just won’t divulge the exact amount,” she quipped. “Basta it’s pretty big.” A hefty incentive!
Not just the stars

Speaking of Douglas, not only the stars and industry leaders enjoyed the benefit and pleasure of his acquaintance. Even show biz journalists have fond memories of the man, including the staff of Inquirer Entertainment.
Pocholo Concepcion relates:
“In the early 1990s, I was a freelance writer. Whenever I bumped into Tito Doug, he would invariably say, ‘Uy, nababasa kita ...’ I remember being offered writing projects for TV and the music business because ‘you were highly recommended by Douglas.’ Doug never asked for anything in return. He just really liked helping people out.
“In ’93, Joey ‘Pepe’ Smith was just out of prison and I became his manager. I believe Doug was responsible for Pepe’s first TV stints. When Pepe  guested on Palibhasa Lalake, Richard Gomez and Joey Marquez brought their own guitars and jammed with him. A few weeks later, I thought of doing a feature story and pictorial on Pepe and Richard with their guitars. That took only minutes to negotiate because Doug arranged it. He was so easy to deal with.
“Months later, my life was in trouble and I went to get drunk in a restaurant. Lo and behold, there was Doug, grinning impishly and offering me a beer.
“Last time I saw him was a year ago, at Robinsons Ermita. When I approached him to say hi, the first thing he said was,  ‘Binabasa pa rin kita.’”
