Tittle-tattle from the Grapevine

Attention-mongering
RUMOUR mongers are accusing a certain mu­sically inclined lad who rhythmically waxes lyrical, of suffering from Attention Craving Disorder (ACD). The lad, who has not attained the international acclaimed status many would have ex­pected from him, is said to not have taken kindly to the fact that local aficionados of his work used a local platform to talk up a counterpart from across the border. It is said that he was so peeved that he gave them a piece of his mind on the platform. However, some of his local fellows who have known him are claiming that he merely did it as a way to draw attention to himself, especially since he has not been receiving as much attention as he used to in his heyday. Surely there must be better ways to make yourself the talk of the town.
Wool over eyes
WORD on the street is that a certain entre­preneur whose main business is the pro­motion of musically inclined individuals is having the wool pulled over his eyes by a former beau. The former beau allegedly fingered him as the begetter of the fruit of her loins, to the point where she forged paper work to that effect. However she left some loose ends as the original paperwork was discover by an associate of hers. Unfortunately though, the mill has it on good authority that this associate has been talked into keeping mum, while this unsuspecting entrepreneur bends over back­wards for the fruit of someone else’s loins. What’s worse is the fact that this former beau allegedly makes all kinds of extreme demands, on the pretext that it’s for her offspring but it’s actually to sponsor her lavish lifestyle.
Liar! Liar!
NOW this next individual needs people to chant “Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!” every time she makes an appearance because of a few lies she is said to be spreading. Well-placed sourc­es have claimed that the nightingale who recently received several gongs for her works has been tell­ing certain individuals that she would like to enter into business with that she works under slave-like conditions so they can aid her in forgoing her cur­rent covenant. Unfortunately the individual who she entered the covenant with is none the wiser and is spending a pretty penny to aid her in attaining more gongs. Those who have the same covenant as hers under the same individual have claimed that all the things she says cannot be trusted as she re­ceives everything she ask for. Yikes! It seems fame and power has gone to her head.
But who is to say, this is all just tittle-tattle from the grapevine…
