THERE’S talk going around,  very silent talk, about how one of Manila’s most beautiful women (we won’t reveal the era) is getting cozy with one of the city’s more controversial men. She’s beautiful and he’s not bad-looking, either.

They would have made a handsome couple—except that they’re married to other people.

And what makes some A-list people rather uncomfortable in their presence is that her husband is sometimes also around in the social events. That’s a lot of shifting glances of people at the three of them.

But then perhaps the attraction between the man and the woman could be harmless, and  the beauty could have found a new bestie in him.
