Betty The Gossip Junkie
Contrary to popular belief, gossiping is healthy. More so, if it’s not directly about people. What’s in a name eh? I may be in the Gossip Junkie, but I’m not alone, there’s Sam too. People tell me I have the nose of a bloodhound and thank God for that, this column digs stuff like no other! All the current happenings come under my radar and are duly studied, analyzed and written about. I specialize in the glamour world as well, not as a model (they tell me I was close, oh well) but as a warm blooded being, holding that perfect spoon to plunge in and scoop out all the happenings in the movie & television industry. I believe events have the power to change the world and its fuel is the written word, which forces people to know and be part of the change. So now you know why my take my spectacles, keyboard and column so seriously.
