Gotta be the Odd One Out

Any competition can not run smoothly without the mechanics and rules to abide by by the contestants. Both contestants and judges must understand and follow the rules set by the production. But sometimes, as in any production, some things happen beyond anyone’s control that will necessitate bending of some rules to be able to address a particular concern that unexpectedly cropped up along the way. Usually, these are not known to the viewers.

Let's take a particular audition in a new singing competition. According to contest rules and mechanics, the contestants CO who passed the first part of the audition would have the leeway and luxury to choose who they want to mentor them for the rest of the duration of the contest. They were to select from among the lineup of the contest judges who are all competent and top Filipino performers.

As such, all the judges have that awe and powerful appeal to the contestants, such that they were always chosen to be the mentors - except for one M1. M1 who is one of the country's no-nonsense performers and who had won a number of awards, too, was surprisingly unfortunate not to be popular with the CO.

At any time during the taping, there was no single CO who chose and wanted to be mentored by M1. It was really such a pain and a very awkward situation not only for M1, but for the most part to the rest of the judges. They too, felt that something was not right. Expectedly, it was both difficult and embarrassing for M1. The production was so bothered, and felt they had to intervene.

After a meeting, a compromise and adjustment of the rules was arrived at. The solution was that some contestants were asked ahead of time that they would have to choose M1 as mentor. So in the next round, M1 was able to get a fair share of contestants who 'chose' and 'liked' her to guide them along the way.

So that's it. Production had to balance by injecting something that's alien to all. It was something weird and unheard of, but had to be done, nonetheless – whether it is liked or not.

A Man's Fantasy

Image courtesy www.thewayitcouldbe.com

LUST for the flesh or its trade has already become a form of entertainment for most men, in general.  What used to be a taboo in regular conversations has now become a regular topic and is already a part of itinerary of any man on an adventure.

Mostly male visiting tourists, athletes or just any traveler would normally look out for the hottest men and women to complete their ‘exploit.’ The operative word here is “booking.”  The word booking takes on a different meaning when it pertains to the world’s oldest profession.

Generally, whether tourists or locals, booking is common among celebrities, gays, businessmen, and the like. It has leveled up long ago as a form of entertainment - an SOP (standard operating procedure) to close a business deal, to give as a gift to clients or friends, to ‘baptize’ an innocent for a rite of passage to manhood and a host of other reasons and/or justifications. Depending on your budget, you can have the hottest and the ordinary-looking players, as the case maybe.

Famous people, usually celebrities command a bigger fee to get booked. Locally,  there are a lot of them around. Those without regular projects engage in this as a sideline for added income.

Popular and gifted siblings PS and GS have allegedly become trade players even before they entered the entertainment industry. They are quite known in the ‘trade’  and  both have famous and wealthy clients who call on a regular basis. A recent client was an international athlete IA who came to the country for a series of engagements.

As is common practice, IA was asked by colleagues if he wanted to get some booking. He was shown a list of photos to select, he chose PS. On the night of their tryst, the big and playful IA was not pleased with PS, he wanted something  more from her but was not there. In exasperation, he told her bluntly, “ Go find and tell your sister to come here. I want her big B right now!

PS did as told, and after a while, came sister GS smiling, willing and able to fulfill IA’s desires.

Calling a Spade a Spade

In any television or movie production, the production staff PS are expected to make working conditions comfortable for its actors, supporting talents, and even for the technical people involved. This way, work becomes easier and more inspiring, which eventually translates to happy workers who will bring in bigger and more productivity for the project. In short, treating people right is always a “win-win” proposition.

Veteran actress VA is actively working for network A - NA  and has been there for years and relationship has been pleasant. She is a valued talent and is given regular projects. So far VA has no complaints vis a vis NA. But apart from NA, she also gets to do projects for other networks  when necessary. So when  another network  NW offered her to star in one of their projects, she nodded right away. 

Being a professional, VA also expects professional treatment from PS and all the people directly dealing with talents like her.. which is just right. The work that actors do, and the energy and preparation put into the craft is never easy. Therefore, to be treated right for all the hard work is the least PS can do for them.

   

But that is not so with NW when VA began doing the project for them. She kind of expected something better from NW owing to their self-proclaimed classy image and their status as a big network. During a break for mealtime, VA was aghast that they were served not the usual hot catered food with plates and utensils - but food came that came in cold, insufficient, and worst, were placed inside styrofoam boxes! 

Shocked, VA wanted to control herself but she just could not - she gave the PS concerned a big mouthful! People on the set shook their heads probably in agreement with VA. After letting it all out her chest, she asked them, “How much more degrading can you get to treat us this way?” VA even made comparisons saying that NW is a far cry from NA who knows how to give their stars and workers proper and dignified treatment.

Classless Bullying

Image courtesy of www.34st.com

There's an ongoing big rift (again) among family members FM; and this time it really seems like a big explosion is unfolding.

It is within their circles’ knowledge that family member 2 FM2 got romantically involved  with a very much-married  government official GO. In the beginning of their affair,  the unlikely couple tried to brush off and dismiss the rumors by trying not to be seen together. Not being seen together was a challenge given their present circumstances. Yet the “not-so-hidden”  love affair continues uninterrupted to this day right under the nose of GO’s wife. 

Many agree that FM2’s separation from her husband HH was allegedly triggered by GO’s coming into their life. FM2 had been wanting all along to be free from HH but couldn’t find a perfect time to do it. When GO "gatecrashed"  into their home, he was warmly welcomed by FM2, no less. And the rest, as they say, is history. 

When in public, FM2 and GO try to be as discreet as possible. But the public’s roving eyes are everywhere. Hence, trying to conceal their tightly-guarded secret becomes an exercise in futility. When before, people talked about it in hushed tones, even damaging details (ie photos) have been out in the open, with FM3 being pointed to as the culprit. 

Family member 1 FM1 is not exactly pleased as another family member FM4 is being dragged into the brouhaha. The very protective FM1 vowed to use her powers to put FM3 in her place if she won’t shut up. 

FM3 and FM4 will be breathing the same air soon. Let’s see who gets suffocated first.

Fresh and Bold

Image courtesy of www.sites.moca.org

Teen actress TA has got what it takes to make it in showbiz industry –  talent, pretty face and a happy disposition. For one so young, she has already proven herself worthy to be called an actress with quite a number of awards and recognitions given her.

Unlike some other stars her age, TA is a lot more passionate in her craft, more daring and competitive when it comes to unleashing her potentials. Apart from acting, she can competently do hosting, as well. TA takes her craft seriously, and knows what she wants. People who know her say she is independent,  responsible and matured. Which is why she has gained the respect of some industry veterans and followers, too. 

But when TA tried her hand at singing, not a few eyebrows were raised. But she didn't mind the skeptics and critics, and went on with rigorous preparations. She had voice lessons, a must for anyone going the musical foray. Her first single turned so well, vindicating herself in the process.

But  sometimes no matter how careful one is, he/she is bound to commit blunders when it is least expected. At the grand launch of her music album at a variety show, TA did a live number of her popular single. The well-prepared number was positioned towards the show’s finale to give it more impact. But it was such a disgusting number - she was singing out of tune with mostly flats. She failed miserably and the tension was very visible on her face. She tried hard to recover, but unfortunately, she couldn’t redeem herself. 

TA banged right there! 

The director was furious - off the air he shouted at TA. He blamed her for that unforgivable blunder, for  committing it right at the very launch of her album. Shrinking from embarrassment, TA took it all.

Kicking Her Brattiness

Image courtesy of www.indiebandsblog.com

If you ask anyone popular star which will they prefer to do: a teleserye or a television commercial TVC, chances are, majority would prefer the latter. Why? Because as opposed to teleserye which requires tons of work and really long hours of taping, TVC’s are usually shot in a day or two at most and pays a lot bigger. Which is why stars strive hard to clinch endorsement deals - less work, more pay, more exposure.

But being a product endorser comes with big responsibility. You are to protect your image and that of the company and product/s you are endorsing. Anything that sullies an endorser’s image will boomerang on her/him sooner than expected. And that includes being able to work harmoniously with people within the TVC’s production. All that and more entail deep commitment. Suffice it to say that nothing’s like a free lunch all the way.

Actress and endorser AE is an in demand product endorser. In one of her endorsement shoots, the hairstylist HS noticed that AE was not in her best element. By her expression, it was obvious that she was pissed. AE was so fussy and kept doing things that made HS work more difficult. When HS asked what was bothering her, AE replied, “ I’m okay.”

But any HS familiar with stars’ quirks knows only too well. HS sensed that her annoyance was about the styling he was doing on her. HS went on subtle defense and said that he was following instructions to do a certain peg for her. Then he continued working on her. Being at vantage point, HS got curious and looked at what AE was typing on her celfone. The message read that AE was complaining to her road manager RM that she was so pissed with HS.

HS was of course outraged, AE’s complaints are way beyond HS control. Had she been more prudent, AE could have asked for an HS of her choice before the shoot, but she didn’t. Instead AE chose to take her rants and gripes on him. Poor, helpless HS. - but make no mistake.. HS wanted to teach her a lesson. Toward the last part of the shoot, HS vented his ire on AE and intentionally burned her hair! Damage was quite big that AE had to have her hair cut short.

Moral lesson: As with waiters who will spit on your food in revenge, do not ever mess with your stylists.

I Don't Compete, I Kill the Competition

 

Image courtesy of www.compete-bioafrica.net

While being  physically-challenged will make other girls want to vanish into oblivion, it is not so for this very confident and strong-willed star CS . She began as a child star and rose from there. Inspite of her physical limitations, this diminutive lady is daring enough to be different and be a cut above the rest.  Yet she also strives to be wholesome as much as possible.  

CS has her share of critics and passionate bashers - who in this industry is safe from haters anyways?  She is called names, often the butt of jokes but she just shrugs them off. And why not, she laughs at herself even. She knows she is not a head-turning pretty girl like her colleagues – but she more than makes up for it through her talent – which she knows she has lots of.

Apparently, her bold and strong character is her best asset. It has in fact helped her land some good projects more than her 'prettier' colleagues. In every project, CS  does not settle for mediocrity. She always makes sure she would impact and stand out.

Often, she would  do things with great abandon regardless whether she gets bashed or not.

At a taping of her show, her male co-stars wondered why their undies were often missing. Turned out, CS was behind it. She would steal every underwear she would see in the dressing room and keep them all, never to be seen again by their owners. Even when found out, she would stand her ground and proudly proclaim that the undies were hers and will never be returned. To date, the boys’ underwear pieces has now become her private collection. 

Young as she is, CS is already this naughty. Uh oh…are we in for a big surprise soon?

Junking the Chronic System

Image courtesy of www.myspace.com

This early, young and privileged starlet YS is showing everyone how it is to fail in showbiz. She is everything a newbie should not aspire to be: bad attitude personified.

The pretty airhead seems to feel that she is entitled to everything, even to episodes of bitchiness at work every so often. Some say that the overbearing attitude comes from the fact that she was made to feel special from the very beginning: spoiled and well-provided for by a close relative CR who is basking in fame and fortune.

At any rate, shouldn’t she be thankful instead that inspite of being talentless, she is lucky to clinch projects owing to her strong connections? Such an edge of not having to sweat it out there to prove herself like some other ordinary Jane’s? Hey girl, even talented veterans strive to be professional and respect their work.

From the grapevine, YS was doing a shoot for a huge cosmetics company. Projects like these are usually costly and challenging in terms of logistics, and yet, YS didn’t seem to prize commitment and professionalism.

From the start, she was making things difficult for the production staff. First, she did not like the make-up to be used on her. Second, she didn’t want to finish shoot because she needed to watch a concert. When her manager was informed about these, no questions were asked - manager put her foot down.

And what did YS do to retaliate? The brat in her surfaced: she sulked and slept, further delaying the shoot.

Showbiz insiders blame the system on why people like YS thrive - raw, talentless, uncommitted, yet exist to be given preferential treatment. Too much too soon. Perhaps it’s about time people concerned  realize that it is a self-created problem capable of creating future monsters.

Badly Tainted

Image courtesy of www.winniecreative.com

Once again, celebrity host CH has proven that she has what it takes - a unique talent to mislead, manipulate anyone at anytime. Undeniably, CH’s knack at diverting people’s perception for her own  benefit is uniquely hers. 

Wasn’t she talked about before as the one behind her colleagues’ coming so late at a show’s rehearsal because she gave them misleading time? Remember how that  incident eventually earned her a monicker? Truly, she is 'lying' personified. 

And now CH did it again. After everything that she had fed the media about a family member FM’s plan to transfer to another network, the details she was giving were actually the exact opposite of what was being hatched and planned.  

Let's rewind a bit. Some years ago, when she and FM were still under one roof aka network NE, CH said that it was she who persuaded FM to transfer to new network NN since there was no way FM would get noticed and be given projects in NE due to the overcrowding of talents already. Insiders agreed with her because not only was FM new, she was also perceived to be without talent and face value at all. And for her to compete with the truly talented and beautiful stars in NE,  would only be a useless exercise.

At  NN, FM was fortunate enough to be given really good projects, a big blessing for someone unknown.  But over the years, people observed that  FM did not have anything to show for it that she had improved and grown as a talent. In fact, what people know of her is her big attitude and unprofessionalism in the workplace.

Meanwhile as FM’s contract with NN expired, there was no word that it would get renewed despite her family’s incessant follow ups. To make matters worse, FM was never given projects for a long time. Adding to their problem is the entry of a fresh talent FT to NN who looks a lot of a star material than FM - much younger, a lot prettier, and some say, more promising, thereby more favored by NN.  That compounded their problems even more.  

CH and FM were in panic mode  along with FM’s manager. But CH was on the defensive, as always. For a long time, she was actually slowly working her way in NE – pulling strings  and quietly sneaking to her network bosses for them to take FM into NE. Finally, as she was seeing potential success, she went around giving media interviews that ran contrary to her plans, saying that she would never like FM join her in NE due to many conflicts.  

Then several weeks after that, announcements  were all over that FM was the new the entrant to NE’s stable. People were shocked. But to most insiders, that was nothing new to CH - proving  once more how cunning and manipulative she can be. People are now asking, “Where is CH’s influence coming from?”  Don’t ask me!

Just Rockin' and Shakin'

Image courtesy of www.rockin4ranch.com

It is not everyday that a star can feel so happily content and blessed with a great career and family at the same time. The girl's personal life is blissful inspite of the rumored dalliances of her husband HB. To a certain extent, she has an enviable life, so to speak.  

TV actress and endorser AE can proudly say she feels both blessed and blissful. She has a young family, a husband to die for and beautiful kids. Once teased for being chubby and a lousy dresser, AE has metamorphosed into a sexy and refined, sophisticated lady. With her looks alone, one can safely say she can give any younger actress a run for her money.  

AE keeps a small group of friends who she sees to unwind and bonds with regularly. Despite the busyness of her schedule, she and her friends make time. In one of their gimmick days, AE was in  the mood to share her most intimate secrets with her friends.

While they were on the subject of s**, AE shared a tiny bedroom detail with her friends. She was actually complaining of her partner’s huge appetite for s**. AE is quite worried how to keep up and go along with HB’s libido without her “precious gem” PG getting deformed from all his unstoppable pounding and drilling.  She said she wouldn’t want it disfigured so soon as she is still quite young. Her friends were shocked and laughed so hard to hear such a bold revelation from her.  

AE further added that she's now seriously considering using the backdoor as HB’s entry point. Sure it will hurt in the beginning, but she told friends it would get better with practice. And with a rabbit-like HB for a partner, AE knew that the rapid firing will still be the same. After all, backdoor entry has been there for a long time becoming even more popular as more and more 'girlies' come out of their pink closets.  Wanna bet?

Good Riddance or Great Loyalty?

Image courtesy of tru-blood.net

As the first quarter of the year ends, the contracts of several talents of a major network (MN) are nearing their expiration. As early as now, the rumor mill is abuzz with who are leaving and who are staying with their current networks. First, singer actress (SA) is allegedly being lured by network A (NA) with a multi-million deal. While SA has kept quiet, stories are now spreading about her replacement in a project in which she was supposed to be the lead actress.

Second, top performer (TP) is also another talent who is rumored to have an offer from the same network. However, no word has been released by the camp of TP if he will be doing the great plunge. If he does, then his current network will lose a great entertainer, and his shows will have to find someone to take over to fill his creative genius.

Third, controversial actor (CA), who has spent almost his entire career with his current network, has a contract that will expire by mid-year. While he is considered as one of the talents most gorgeous looking hunks, his career seemed to be at a standstill as his exposure has been very minimal since his last TV project. While speculations are pointing towards getting a contract with network B (NB), there really is no big contract being dangled at CA. NB is not keen on hiring CA as the network anticipates potential problems that might come with his management. His management is not known for keeping matters quiet.

While, network C (NC) is also a possible new home, NC is not keen on CA as he is not that famous or could command as much interest as he did when he was just starting out. CA is also caught in a controversy in which he has opted to deny and to keep quiet about an alleged possible addition to their family.

Who will remain loyal? Who will leave? Who will MN let go, SA, TP, or CA?

Reality dictates, “It is the logic of consumerism that undermines the values of loyalty and permanence and promotes a different set of values that is destructive of family life" (Christopher Lasch).

Back to Make Amends

 

Image courtesy of www.for9a.com

Controversial Actress’ CA  impending return to big network BN is in the works. But  unlike her previous network transfer, this one doesn’t sound welcoming. Allegedly being  hampered by Outspoken Actress  OA, CA’s  comeback  will not come like a walk in the park. The two had  unsettled issues in the past involving loyalties and relationships. BN’s Powerful Personality PP is protective of OA on this aspect. Scared that CA may pose a big problem to BN, PP reportedly laid out conditions before CA  gets the welcome she had long aspired for. Talks have it that said conditions are harsh for CA to abide by, something that's tantamount to saying that she better toe the line, or else.. .

It was alleged that OA is the one behind PP’s laying out those conditions. She feels that the working ambience in BN will never be the same the moment CA sets foot in there. BN’s stars are likewise concerned given CA’s attitude and the many unfavorable stories about her working habits. They believe that everyone’s fears are valid. But true or not, the anti-CA sentiments created a life of its own. Poor CA, did she ever see all these things coming? The once prized star is now suddenly being shunned like a plague. What can be more painful?

But apart from CA’s discouraging welcome, some  observers ask what makes OA such a powerful voice in BN,  particularly  the kind of trust PP has of her. What brings about such connection that PP listens to her and give support. Is it purely business or something more that mortals like us will never know? 

On the other hand, looks like CA will do everything at all cost, endure the negative judgment being hurled at her. She is prepared and would much prefer all that than be networkless for life. The ball is now in her court to prove herself. Hopefully, her efforts will not be clouded in suspicion.

Missing the Connection

Image courtesy of blog.joinsmsn.com

For everything that was said and written about it, when love hits, it can unwittingly but capably wreak havoc on any relationship – family, friends, lovers, co-workers and everything in between. Nothing and no one will be spared.

The controversy surrounding these characters has taken its toll on them. Generous friend GF and co-star CS have developed a certain closeness owing to their respective roles – both real and reel. They have grown to like each other and form some kind of alliance. 

On the set of a show they’re currently doing, GF and CS were relaxing, talking animatedly during a break. The two were in a corner laughing, unmindful of everyone around them. But when another co-star AS passed by in front of them, they suddenly turned quiet. 

Even in other engagements that call for the cast to be together, it would always be evident how AS  seem to look like the different one. Both GF and CS would really make an effort to avoid  being together and ‘breathing the same air’ with AS. Such an awkward and painful situation for AS - to be regarded  as the unwelcome one - the odd one out. 

Just so sad that it had to escalate to something as ugly as this.Gone were the days when they were just enjoying whatever was it in their carefree, young lives. But things happen, you'll never know what you're gonna get, so to speak. 

At the onset of their feud, it was GF whom the public sympatised with. But as time went by, with too much of the stuff being said,  it now appears that it is AS who has become the walking wounded in this game.

All because the principal instigator came into the picture.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”
― Bob Marley

Up To No Good, As Always

Image courtesy of www.entrescuartos.com

This Budding Diva BD has always been consistent on her off-screen image. Ever since she hit stardom, that image never left, even clung to her even more. BD has been called names – the ugliest one could ever get. But just like the others in the business, she seems to have mastered the art of callousness – in layman’s lingo… “deadma.”

Wherever she goes, BD never fails to leave her signature imprint on people she is with. No matter how hard they try to understand her, BD never fails to irritate people -- or annoy them, to put it mildly.  From camera angling during shoots, to choice of make-up artists and stylists, to demands for solo production numbers – BD has something to whine and rant about. As always, the littlest detail must be addressed to suit her preference – everything should enhance her image, so to speak. 

At a recent photoshoot for a show she would be part of, BD was shocked to learn that her preferred make-up artist MUA was absent, hence production had fielded a replacement. For some stars, that would not be a big deal and show must go on. But definitely not for BD, such was a nightmare – she needed only the expert hands to do her calling and hide her imperfections. She is known to be a stickler to her own rules, no ifs and buts.

When the production could not produce the MUA who was absent to be at the wake of a family member, and that an equally popular MUA would substitute for her, BD was adamant. She refused to do the shoot. When told that it would be impossible to call on the first MUA to attend to her because MUA could not afford to leave the wake for work, BD then replied in a funny way but with full conviction, “ Then I will resume shoot after the dead is buried!”

“I dance to my own band, it doesn't matter if they're out of tune.”

To Love and To Learn

Image courtesy of www.wpmu.org

A beautiful friendship bloomed between two of its main stars on the set of their former teleserye. They enjoyed each other’s company so much so that even after the serye ended, actress and endorser AE and multi-awarded actress MA still continue to see each other regularly and bond like sisters.  

AE and MA are both beautiful and sought-after actresses, and even then, there is no room  for envy between them. Apart from being in-demand stars, both are magnets for controversies inspite of their quiet demeanor. But they don’t mind, what’s important is their friendship and the many things they have  in common.

Allegedly, one of those they have is the love of the ‘stuff.’  Then and now, this is nothing new to showbiz. Others justify using it because of the very stressful work coupled with so many personal issues that can take its toll on their performance. Hence they take to the stuff to make them ‘sane’ –  what an irony!

In a show that they do together, the production scheduled a technical rehearsal for the performers.  Most stars did their part and came on time. However  they were pissed and waited too long for AE and MA who came in several hours late. When they finally came, it was obvious that they had a hit. As a result, AE and MA were acting strange and could not deliver. 

But between the two, it was alleged that it was AE who was obviously more ‘loaded.’ Even days before the said rehearsal, some insiders already took notice that she was not herself most of the time. There are allegations that she is having episodes of ‘depression’ – something that was not impossible  given the heavy issues that AE has to deal with in her personal life. The question is: Is she or isn't she?

The Capriciousness of the Actress

Nowadays, the trend is to give the spotlight to ordinary people who have resemblance to celebrities. Most celebrities do not take their look-alikes seriously, and take to them as part of their popularity. Some would even pose with their “double” just for the fun of it.

However, young controversial talent (CT) showed the opposite of her sweet image when she was told that the girl imitating her had a very close resemblance to her. Off camera, CT was asked if she could approach the girl who came as a guest in their show. Instead of just being game, CT adamantly refused and said, “I do not like it - not funny at all!!” Then, she turned her back and walked away.

Someone remarked that CT probably did not want to have a face-off with the girl because she probably worried that her alleged physical enhancements might become even more noticeable. After all, CT has always stuck to her guns that she has not undergone anything drastic to fix any part of her face and body.

Strangely, with all her current controversy, CT seems to be portrayed as the underdog and the “victim,” but in such a simple task as approaching a contestant, she had to be a KJ and refused.

Just Honor Your Commitment

Young talent (YT) committed to co-hosting a segment in a game show of a major network. When YT arrived on the set, she was sluggish and looked wasted. Worse, her lack of sleep was very evident. When all the celebrity guests were already made-up, YT was the next person for make-up. She refused, saying she was not feeling well.

A production staff tried to coax YT into getting in the mood, but YT insisted she was not okay. Someone yelled at the make-up artist to fix YT asap. On hearing this, YT went to the toilet and threw up. When she returned to the set, she was holding on to an inhaler, wearing her shades, and crying. Then, she begged off, said she really could not do her task, and bid farewell to the staff.

Why was YT feeling so sick that day and made people wait in vain? Allegedly, YT attended a party the night before and got home early morning of next day. Everyone knows that a party always requires high energy, but the best part usually happens when the party is over.

While YT is understandably at the peak of her teenage life, it is her right to live it the way she wants, but commitments are commitments - big or small, they should be honored at all cost. For someone who's so new in the industry, it is ironic that YT is behaving this way. On the other hand, her attitude may also stem from the fact that she entered the business on a strong backing of a more famous relative FR - and that whatever breaks she is given is always attributable to FR. As it was once said, "Anything you fought for to get, you will fight for to keep."

And while at it,  perhaps YT can learn a thing or two from FR as far as discipline and commitment to the profession are concerned. FR rose from the ranks, by dint of hard work, perseverance and professionalism - molded through the years. YT should employ a no nonsense self-improvement if she wants a fabulous career like FR, and enjoy all the perks in the process.

Desire is the key to motivation, but it is determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. – Mario Andretti

Just Rekindling an Old Flame?

Confused Actor CA and Beautiful Celebrity BC are now getting to be an item. Recently, CA seems not to care  about his image and his career appears to go nowhere as well. Looks like these days, he prefers the company of BC over his Girlfriend GF. BC was CA's former partner but they had a controversial falling out, with no proper closure, so to speak.

CA happily moved on from one relationship after his episode with BC. Yet he still continued to be hounded by controversies involving BC after these years. Some observers felt that it might be because BC had a hard time recovering after her relationship with CA. But she eventually moved forward months after, and even tried dating other guys. 

At present CA is in a relationship, something that is supposed to make him glow and get inspired. However observers say that the opposite is what is happening to him. CA's recent activities and sightings on and off camera seem to scream disaster. His quarrels with GF  have also become more and more frequent, according to the to the people around them.

His fans and followers are worried sick that they are seeing a different CA like never before. If reports are to be believed, CA's troubled  relationship with GF might soon be over as well. Are their frequent quarrels involve BC as well? Recently, He and BC were seen walking along the the hallway of a condo building in the dead of night after visiting a common friend. Nothing wrong. But walking together while holding hands, and embracing is another story. 

Is CA getting lost, confused, and charting his own downfall both in his professional and personal life? As Fernando Pessoa once said,  “In order to understand, I destroyed myself.” Let us just hope that this is not what CA is doing.

Savvy for Money?

Talented Star TS had an out-of-town show recently which was hugely successful. She was in high spirits during the concert and was mobbed by her over-eager fans. The Head of the City HC learned about the show and he instructed The Producer TP to invite TS in the city's office. After the show and before heading back to Manila, TP immediately discussed the courtesy call to HC's office. TS' camp asked if TS would be paid extra for the requested appearance. When told that there would be no additional fees, they became disinterested and made excuses that TS has bruises on her body that resulted from the mobbing of the fans during the show, and therefore would not be "nice" to do a courtesy call.

TP knew that it was just an alibi, he was pissed and slighted that HC's invitation was turned down. He fumed and threatened that if TS would not appear in HC's office, she would be banned and would no longer be allowed to perform in the province. The threat seemed real and thus TS group was forced to comply.

When they finally appeared at the office of HC, TS and her group were warmly welcomed. However, TP and his team noticed something very obvious - there were no visible marks on TS to justify the previous excuse. Apparently, it was just a bluff to avoid the invitation after learning that there would be no payment involved. Big stars should earn not always be money-motivated for every little act requested of hem. Déclassée.

Interlocking Stories of the Network’s Young Stars

Image courtesy of www.montreal.anglican.ca

Promising Actor (PA) seems to be the most competent among the young actors being built by the network. Not only does PA have the boyish smile, he has the best acting skills among his peers. Instead of focusing on him alone, the network has packaged him as the other half of a loveteam, to a young actress (YA) who is known for having a stagemother. To be fair to YA, she has publicly stated that she is bent on finishing her studies, while waiting if her stint in the network can launch her to stardom.

Meanwhile, the network is also pairing off PA with talented performer (TP), who was built up to be the partner of Promising Singer (PS). The partnership between TP and PS was good at the beginning as both could match each other in terms of performance. However, it was pushed to the limit when it was made to appear that both of them had something real going on. Yet rumors have it that the real girlfriend of PS is another young actress (AY) who has recently jumped to his network. Thus, any attempt to link TP and PS for real would be for naught despite their very strong fan base. This fan base might be a hindrance in case PS would be paired with AY.

Incidentally, observers lament how PS does not have the work ethics of his family members in showbiz. He would often be late for rehearsals or he would not be there at all. Allegedly, PS is indulging in drinking sprees and other bad habits with AY. Sadly, TP, with all her talent, exposures and breaks, still hardly makes the cut.

As to whether the love team of PA and TP will click seems to be far-fetched as the fans of their other partnerships are not supportive at all. Besides, some people smell something fishy with PA. As to who among PA, YA, TP, AY, and PS will survive and reach stardom in their current network, we can just wait and see.

These young stars, specially PS, can learn a thing or two from John Wooden, “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
