Making a Comeback

Image courtesy of www.designers-books.com

Months before the launching of a new talent show, the creative team of the network had already conceptualized the format and the line up for their hosts. Those in charge included a manager turned network executive, a retired media executive, an award-winning director, an experienced producer, among others. Most of the members of the team were veterans from their former networks, so they knew what would make a show click with the audience. The hosting job was first offered to a hunk actor (HA). Negotiations failed because HA turned down whatever the network offered him. Besides, if HA had accepted the offer, then he would eventually bump into a controversial personality, with whom he had fallen out of grace. The other names that cropped up for the main hosting chores were sporty actor (SA), model host (MH), and poised actress (PA).

After the team handed down their proposal to top management, they were surprised with the choice of the host. Although he would have been the perfect choice, SA could not be the host because he had another assignment. SA publicly admitted that this assignment was one of the offers he considered when he made the big move. Top management had another name (AN) in mind. The team was shocked. Some reactions centered on AN’s being past his prime, therefore, he was no longer that popular. Then the media executive raised the point that AN is not a skilled host unlike MH and PA. Then, top management said that it was willing to double the prize for the show's grand winner as long as AN would be the host. The big pot can help boost the ratings and perhaps, rescue the career of AN.

Since the network had already ran out of personalities to pirate, and the directive came from the top, the team had to settle for AN. With this new assignment, AN firms up his position in the network. Will AN do wonders for the new talent show? Will the new talent show help the network gain a bigger share of the audience? Is top management showing early signs of favoritism as AN has only been recently signed up by the network?

Distraught Muse

Image courtesy of www.metalbrasileirounderground.blogspot.com

Sometime ago, the model host (MH) announced to the world that she was very happy in having found a new relationship (NR). People were happy with the announcement of MH but some doubted that her relationship was that serious. After all, she has been known to have had several boyfriends in the past including a radio personality. NR, meanwhile, had just recovered from the break-up (and its messy aftermath) with a funny actress (FA). In interviews, NR cleared doubts that he was two-timing FA with MH. Let’s face it, FA was no match to MH when it came to looks. A few months into their relationship, NR proposed to MH. This engagement left people sceptical but most did not question the power of love. People who saw MH and NR together felt they were really in love. Besides, MH decided to move into the same building as NR.

Months later, while everything seemed quiet, a tragic event happened to MH. What surprised viewers was the absence of NR, who lived some floors away from the flat of MH. People speculated that NR might have been on location so he was not around. Later, MH admitted that she and NR have broken up, but there was no third party involved. As to why NR was not around during that moment, MH did not answer. From a reliable source, the reason why their relationship ended was that NR felt MH was suffocating him. MH was always around and he needed the space. Moreover, MH had terrible mood swings and was very jealous. Allegedly, she is bipolar.

When the tragedy happened, NR was not as bad as he was pictured. He checked on MH through the guards of the building. He just did not want to show himself to MH. NR also admitted that it was his fault that they got engaged too early. Well, it seemed that MH was not the muse NR was looking for.

Her Earnest Desire

                               Image courtesy of www.allwe-needislove.blogspot.com

Defiant actress (DA) got a tongue-lashing from her director when she showed up looking very tired, and gave excuses about not being well enough to rehearse a few hours before the actual live show. When DA was called to rehearse, she told the production assistant to let others practice ahead of her. When the director learned what DA said, he unleashed a few curses, rushed to her room, and confronted her. He said that if she were not fit, then she should just go home, and not be on the set looking wasted.

The behavior seemed to be unlikely of DA. Her nice girl image always was projected to the public. Apparently, DA had a fight with a family member the day before, and did not spend the night at home. She took comfort in the home of her rumoured closest male friend (MF) that night. Is something more than friendship happening between DA and MF? Could it be possible that MF be the reason of the fight or was DA back to her rebellious ways? In interviews, MF said the idea of being together with DA was nice, but there really was not anything more between them.

However, there is another rumoured figure (RF) in the life of DA. RF happens to be older and more experienced in various fields. When asked about DA, RF did not answer, and requested that questions center on his work. The latest buzz is that he provided a bodyguard for DA.

While DA remains single, she has MF as the shoulder to cry on and RF as her protector. Who will DA choose once she has to make a decision? Throughout her showbiz life, DA was always in a relationship. Will she stay single long enough to enjoy the best of both worlds?

Can you identify who DA, MF and RF are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Getting Bizarre Again

The process of taping a drama series is not an easy task for it involves various stages and tens of people. When a drama series is conceptualized, the director and his staff have to put the idea of the writers to come alive onscreen. The wardrobe people plan what the characters will wear. The light and sound crews make sure the equipment are all working. The assistant director (or someone else) outlines the scenes, location, and actors needed. Therefore, any problems, such as the weather, can ruin the schedule of all these people.

A few days ago, the taping of a drama series was packed up and it was not because of the bad weather. Rather, the cause of the non-shooting was the refusal of the lead actress (LA) to enter the location of their shoot. LA was already in the vicinity of the taping as the production people already saw her van. The makeup people did not worry about LA because at times, she refused to have herself fixed. She can prepare herself for what her role demands. Yet, some people can be mean by saying that LA refuses to wear makeup because her face cannot hold it.

The crew had already prepared the location, which was somewhere south of the Manila and where the weather was cooler. They waited for LA to step down from the van. Their wait was futile. LA refused to budge. She did not want to get out of her van. Instead of convincing LA harder, the production team conceded to her demand and packed up the taping.

While LA is known for her obnoxious ways, she actually has a caring personality for the some sectors of the community. However, when the taping was packed up because of her whimsical reasoning, LA forgot that her being a prima donna at that moment affected not just her schedule but also the commitments of her co-stars. LA also forgot that some crew members are paid on a daily basis, and that the location owner gets some remuneration.

The question is what made LA uncomfortable with the chosen location. Did it bring about significant memories that she did not want to remember?

Can you identify who LA is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Disappointing Observation of The Actor's Behavior

Image courtesy of www.dollypics.com

When tall actor (TA) was starting out, he caught the public eye because he was the best-looking in his batch. But when it came to acting talent, he was not as good compared to the other members. Yet, he was doing several projects. Rumors floated that it was so because he was the pet of an influential executive of the network. Eventually, owing to the network's proper handling of him, TA became a household name in no time.

Other than acting, TA evolved - he formed his own band, ventured into businesses, fell in love, and almost transferred to a rival network. Sadly, TA's band did not reach as much fame as the other bands which were popular in the late 90's. Most people dismissed it as just TA's pastime and did not take his singing seriously. TA tried his hand in restaurant business, among others. But the economic situation and other problems at that time led to its dismal failure.

As for his colorful loves of his life, his relationships were always highly publicized. Through the years, TA got involved in a questionable wedding ceremony with a pretty actress, announced publicly that he was going to marry a young model, and clammed up when asked about his puzzling relationship with a controversial host/actress. Sometime ago, TA was even about to move to a rival station, and the supposed new home already prepared his role in a Korean telenovela adaptation. However, a heart-to-heart talk with his mentor made him stay. TA improved in his acting and even got recognized by a couple of prestigious award-giving bodies.

For many years, TA had both successfully and unsuccesfully reinvented himself so that he will forever remain in the public's consciousness. He spearheaded different advocacies and established foundations. These activities were again publicized, thus had ultimately created a very positive image for TA. In fact, it was floated that he might be a candidate for an international magazine’s Person of the Year award as a matter of course. Alas, a story is now circulating that TA has been very delinquent in his duties as head of his foundation. It was such a big let-down for people around him to know of his many shortcomings. Among others, he has yet to pay the salaries of the people running his foundation. Then, another complaint said that TA is hardly available for the activities related to it, but will only be around if the media were to cover. Does TA's behavior prove a very telling suspicion all along that he is just using his advocacy to add good points and further his sinking popularity? Well, perhaps, TA may have good intentions, too. Yet, as it is, you and I know that running a foundation such as his requires more than just good intentions. What is your take?

Can you identify who TA is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

The cliché states that behind every successful man is a woman. In showbiz lingo, the saying takes a different turn, because truth be told: behind the success of an actor is a powerful gay executive or manager. In the case of this prized official (PO) of a network, most of the talents he handled got very good breaks. That was always a given. From a mere nobody, PO can transform any actor into the hottest talent in the industry. His latest and current "project" is an emerging talent (ET), who has appeared in the major series of the network. ET is definitely gaining more recognition than he did with his previous management.

A few weeks ago, a high level executive (HE) of said network fumed when she learned that PO was conspicuously absent in the network's story conferences. The presence of PO is very crucial in any  meetings because he handles all the major series/telenovelas of the network. Therefore his absence is definitely unwelcome, as he has to be on call to answer for all the major decision-making required. Besides, results of said meetings were to be presented in a big network event a few days after. Apparently, PO left the country without asking permission from his superiors. He joined ET in the Middle East for the network's promotional tour. PO had already been lined up ET in two major projects in the most coveted timeslots of the network.

Also, PO was not alone in the tour, as his close friend (CF), a former talent manager, joined him, too. Before PO got fatally attracted to ET, he was responsible for transforming a non-mainstream actor (NA) into a huge household name that he is today. PO now had to relegate NA because ET is younger, and well, not as “soft” as NA. Thus it was CF who took care of NA. What caught the ire of HE was her finding out that the room assignments had PO and ET in one room, while CF and NA were together in another room. It appeared as if the foursome where on a honeymoon.

HE can only express her disbelief that PO is turning out to be the personal assistant of ET. Unfortunately, HE can only get mad and disgusted, period. She can not really reprimand PO as much as she does her other subordinates. For PO is not considered as a “demi-goddess “ for the network’s soap operas for nothing. If PO leaves, the network's programming will definitely suffer in a big way. HE knew that this incident was not isolated, as it was not the first time that PO left his work to be with ET. The question is: until when will PO's fondness for ET last? The other talents who were previously handled by PO are no longer as popular as the time when PO had them under his loving care. These talents have grown old, lost their hunky appeal, and moved on. Perhaps, ET believes that it is but natural for him to take advantage of every opportunity that lands on his lap. For it is true that since it knocks but once, he might as well hit the ground running, and laugh all the way to the bank. Only and only, while he still savors the perks of being PO's current and favorite flavor.

Getting Ridiculed Publicly

Image courtesy of www.shop.choosetoawaken.com

A few days ago, a big event in a beauty contest was marred by an almost controversial walk out of the reigning beauty queen (RB). RB already had walked out, but was stopped by the head project holder (PH) of the event. PH convinced RB to stay on and finish her task.

The story is that RB, being the current local representative, was part of the board of judges for the afternoon’s event. Feeling her current reign, RB expected royal treatment from the organizers. So, she stayed in her room and waited for a call for her to come down to the venue. She kept waiting. There was no call. A few hours later, she decided to go down to the venue herself. The moment she was seen, one of the staff (OS) screamed at RB and gave a litany of her coming late. RB reasoned out that she was just waiting in her room expecting to be called but no one called for her. Furthermore, RB said that OS can talk to her nicely without being screaming at. OS was still fuming. RB, then moved to the judges were seated, OS screamed further and told RB that she could not judge anymore because there was no more seat for her..

RB, feeling so embarrassed at the way OS treated her, walked away and was so very upset that she almost cried. When PH learned that RB was walking out, she took the responsibility of talking to her. RB went back as though nothing happened. While RB kept her poise and silence of the situation, a family member leaked and ranted to the media what transpired.

From their research, OS allegedly was a former staff member of the other beauty contest, which was in direct competition with RB’s. Hence, some concluded that OS was mean to RB because of her former affiliation. Some commented that since RB knew that she was judging, then she should have had enough sense to come down earlier and not wait for a call (as she reasoned out). Remember, RB won in a contest of beauty, not a contest of minds.

Pleasuring His Lover

Image courtesy of www.theinfamousnobody.blogspot.com

Their love story started out like a scene from a teenage movie. He was a well-sought after celebrity (AC) in his field, who has had his own share of intrigues despite not really part of show business. She was, a refreshing personality (RP), who rose to fame by doing the rounds of fantasy dramas. AC merely asked RP out publicly, and RP responded positively. From that first date, they became inseparable. Despite their busy schedules and sometimes, physical distance from each other, AC and RP managed to build a special relationship.

However, there was a very personal problem that cropped up in the course of their relationship. For males born in the Philippines, certain customs are followed for religious and medical reasons. Since AC was raised abroad, he was spared from the traditional practice, but RP felt uncomfortable with that idea. Hence, RP encouraged AC to undergo the procedure. She even went with him to the hospital when he had to go under the knife, so to speak. With modern laser technology, RP missed out the fun of wearing balloon skirts and staying still for some days until the wound completely healed. Within a few days, AC was back to his routine, while RP was happier that AC finally had it done.

Incidentally, one of the conditions RP set before any marriage plans with AC was that procedure. Well, AC was eager to please.

Behind that Photoshoot

Image courtesy of www.cancunphotographer.com

A great achievement for any magazine is to have a memorable cover. A cover can boost or break the sales of a magazine. Some people will buy a magazine based on the cover but will get disappointed once they read what's inside the cover article. However, this particular magazine often walks its talk. Usually, the articles that go with the cover are extensive and well-written. So, when the magazine released its latest cover with the young stars of a particular talent management, people got interested and excited. Although these stars work in the same network, their schedules are difficult to synchronize to put them together in one place.

As expected, to gather big stars for work can lead to big attitudes. The photo shoot for this cover was no exception. First, hunk actor (HA1) was so in a hurry to finish the shoot reasoning out that he had prior commitments for the day. But it could also be more valid to think that he could have been uncomfortable with the presence of his two ex's around. Since this was his management’s photoshoot, the rumoured (ex?) partner was not present even though she can beat the popularity of all the stars combined on the cover.

Second, one of the actresses (OA) stayed in her corner and refused to mingle with the rest. Her partner in a love team was present in the shoot, but stories have it that OA and her TV partner are merely polite towards each other. Was OA avoiding any interaction with the former girlfriend (FG) of an actor? Yes, the same actor is the one OA allegedly had a fling with when they did a movie. Did blind items not give clues that FG caught OA and the actor in their rendezvous?

Third, another actress (AA) demanded another dress from the stylist because she felt the other actresses were wearing outfits that were more fab and stylish. To her disappointment, she was told that their outfits were already set. Did AA feel awkward because her ex and his current girlfriend (CG) were around? One look at the cover and indeed, AA was right in showing her insecurity over her assigned outfit. Well, she should have also questioned how she was positioned in the shoot.

Conspicuously absent in the cover was another hunk actor (HA2), who was once the favorite of the network. Does his absence mean he is no longer considered a big star of the network? Is this why he no longer appears in its primetime slot? A quick research shows that HA2's career is still under this management.

Nonetheless, a final look at the result of the beautiful cover shoot belies all the intrigues that happened before it. You think so, too?

Joe Jonas Heats Up Manila

Hollywood heartthrob Joe Jonas arrived in Manila last May 22 as the newest international endorser for Philippine clothing brand Bench. Joe joins the ranks of international celebrities Bruno Mars, David Archuleta, Michael Trevino and Lucy Hale who are also members of the Bench family. Popularly known as the lead vocalist of pop-rock band the Jonas Brothers, Joe also starred in the hit Disney movie "Camp Rock" and reality shows "Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream" and "JONAS". Late last year, Joe shed his teen image and transformed into a mature solo artist with the debut of his album Fastlife. The album was inspired by coming of age, enjoying new things in life and learning to take risks.

One of the first things that Joe did when he arrived in Manila was shop at the Bench store in Glorietta 5. He loved the shirts and accessories and personally hand picked items that he'd like to wear. A huge crowd of fans gathered outside the store to get a glimpse of the star. Armed with cameras and creative signages sporting love messages; they cheered for Joe who warmly waved while flashing his signature killer smile.

When asked about how he felt about being a member of the Bench family Joe Jonas said "It's been great and the people from Bench have been very kind and warm." He proudly said that among his favorites were the brand's shirts and polos. To a question on how many marriage proposals he's gotten so far, he blushed and said that if he accepted them all he'd be married a lot of times. The press conference ended with a meet and greet where members of the press and lucky fans were able to have their photo taken with Joe.

Fans were in for a treat as Joe spent the remainder of his stay in the Philippines by visiting Bench stores in Glorietta 5, TriNoma and Cebu in line with his mall tour arranged by the Ayala Malls.

Requesting A Deeper Sense of Understanding

Image courtesy of www.mymidnightsky.com

Some years ago, character actress (CA) was diagnosed with severe depression. It was so that she had to rest temporarily from her commitments. Depression seemed to be farthest from the time she began her career. CA was launched as a teenage entertainer and within a short time, she became part of one of the most successful love teams in the industry. However, her beginnings came with controversy. Her schoolmates could not believe that she was being passed off as a 16-year old, while they were all in their early twenties. Nonetheless, the public and her fans didn't care because CA evolved from being a sing-and-dance star to one serious enough to portray daring roles. Soon, the industry discovered she could really act. And in no time, CA started getting meaty roles in substantial movies and telenovelas.

But the circumstances in her family life contributed to her depression. When she got married, her earnest desire was to have a child as soon as possible. However, she and her husband had to wait really long for the conception, then when it became positive for the first time, it had to be extinguished because of a miscarriage. Months after she lost the baby, she was seen with two dolls. Some people speculated she has gone over the edge because she was treating the dolls like real babies. They had names, and she would bring them along wherever she was. Still, others sympathized with her and respected her choice of coping in that manner. A year later, CA got pregnant and gave birth. Everyone was happy because finally she and her husband's earnest desire was granted. Sadly, the baby boy lived only a few days and died after. CA tried to cope with the worst situation she could ever have. She rested and decided that their lives had to go on.

That was almost seven years ago. Fast forward to recent months, CA portrayed a major character in a hit telenovela, and critics and viewers noticed the depth in her portrayal. At the onset of the series, CA would always be on time for her tapings, and would send home-cooked meals to the set. The crew appreciated the professionalism of CA. But again, her friends began to fear for her, that CA might be showing signs of depression again.

A few weeks ago, word came out that her character would be killed in the series. This news surprised several people because the series was to last until the third quarter of this year. The reason for her having to bow out of her series was her becoming sickly of late, which CA confirmed later in media. What was unsaid was that CA had been having difficulty in her lines, and was taking three to four takes per scene. Lately, the crew noticed CA was tagging her doll along and talking to it every so often. CA would even sing lullabies to and change the diapers of the baby. This was the very pattern she showed when she had her first miscarriage.

At this point, CA needs understanding. Other than links to her past trauma, no one knows for sure what is triggering her bouts with her latest depression.

Can you identify who CA is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Just a Possible Reconciliation

Image Courtesy of www.mingle2.com

While statuesque beauty (SB) gave left and right interviews regarding her recent break up, her ex-boyfriend (XF) kept quiet and did not say any word. XF was once again criticized for how easily he breaks up with a flame. Sometime in the past, a talented performer (TP) got the shock of her life when she was asked how she felt about her break up with XF. TP was surprised because at that moment, she thought she and XF were still together. XF had not even said anything to her. Then, she had to learn it the hard way, via a question from a reporter. Hence, people were not surprised when SB said it was over between her and XF. Half the reports blamed the break up on how allegedly domineering SB was and how the family of XF did not like her at all.

However, while people were glued to their TV sets during the Pacquiao and Bradley fight, SB was in the comforts of XF’s home enjoying the fight. SB spent the whole day with the family of XF. According to sources, SB and XF seem to be closer again. People who know of this new development smell the reconciliation is in the offing. Hopefully, they are right. Everyone loves a happy ending, especially in the case of this odd couple.

Can you identify who SB, TP and XF are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Appalling and Quaint Move of the Singer

Image courtesy of www.gigaom.com

During the US Tour of a group of singers, the audience was appalled at the behavior of audacious singer (AS). The concert consisted of winners from the talent shows of the network, and most of the Filipinos in the audience watched these talents evolve from shy contestants into the celebrities that they are now. AS was discovered in a singing contest. The network developed her from a copycat of a semi-retired belter (SB), who is still a concert queen in her own right, to one of the next important singers of the country. In fact, the network even gambled on her, and the risk paid off as her first movie ran in cinemas for three weeks.

The audience had a wonderful time watching the performances of the grand winners of the academy (S1) and the talent contest (S2 and S3). The performers sang oldies but goodies, R&B, jukebox hits, etc. Then came the turn of AS. She told the audience that if her network had an advocacy for the welfare of the child, her advocacy was for the building of her house. The parallelism was funny at first. Then, AS produced containers and passed them around. She asked the audience for small bills. Of course, the people were shocked at such display of bad taste. After her singing, AS followed up on the containers, and the viewers soon realized she was serious. The crowd was dismayed because they paid good money to watch the talents perform in their city, and the ill manner of AS ruined the show.

Since the talents were on tour, did AS ask money in each of their concert venues? Does her network know and tolerate her actions? Indeed, her behavior creates a bad impression of her network. Does her act imply that she is not properly compensated by the network? What makes it worse is that AS showed her seeming lack of decorum while on performance abroad.

Can you identify who AS is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

This young performer (YP) grew up performing before the public. From innocent lass, who merely wanted to win in a contest, YP is now one of the most sought after singers in the country. In fact, YP even has non-Filipino fans abroad. As a performer, YP can fill up a venue because the audience knows she can deliver. She has proven her impact, both in the movies and endorsements. Amidst all her achievements, YP has remained simple in her ways, her attitude, and her views. Despite the wealth, she keeps a very low profile and hardly flaunts her possessions.

By a twist of fate, someone close (SC) to YP got wind of information that YP is actually being short-changed in her talent fees. For example, the talent fee of YP as stipulated in her contract is allegedly much higher than the payment she's been getting. Thus, if for an endorsement, YP receives around 5M, the real contract says it's 10M. However, the real contract with the real figures is never shown to YP. Another contract that states a lesser amount is the one that is shown to YP, and signed in public. SC discovered the possible anomaly when she got to talk to an insider of a production (IP). When the fee of YP cropped up, SC was surprised at the huge discrepancy in the figures.

Of course, SC wanted to act immediately on the injustice but it placed SC in a dilemma. If SC starts claiming that the contracts are rigged, then the career of YP might be ruined by an orchestrated barrage of negative publicity. After all, the one in charge of paying YP has the machinery to make or break any career. Another sad thing is that the company of IP fears that once it questions the existence of two contracts, some of its talents might be pulled out., and these talents are the prized performers of the company.

Now, will SC assert what is due YP? Will they just keep quiet and not dare rock the boat?

Amplifying the Cinema Appearance

Versatile performer (VP) surprised everyone when she gave word she was going on a month-long break. Speculations cropped up regarding her status. First, people thought she was pregnant. Second, she was getting married abroad. Third, VP was merely tired and needed a break to rejuvenate. Fourth, she was becoming uncomfortable in her daily show and wanted space. A few days after her announcement, a twit circulated that VP was going to do a movie abroad. Confirmation came a few more days later.

The home studio of VP is currently playing up the story that she will be doing a movie in the United States, in no less than Hollywood itself. Hollywood connotes someone has gone big time in his/her career. Hence, this piece of news is a big deal in the career of VP. However, the movie she will be doing has low budget, and the film is an independent one. Her management cannot help but smile at the effort of the network in exaggerating the appearance of VP.

Incidentally, VP even surprised her own management with this Hollywood film assignment. She just showed her plane ticket. Eventually, her management allowed her to leave because the bosses felt that if they did not allow, VP might refuse to work. After all, VP is the hottest talent of her management these days and they cannot afford to lose her.

Embittered Behavior of the Diva

Image courtesy of www.goodreads.com

When the heavyset diva (HD) agreed to join a low budget musical, the production was elated because someone of HD’s calibre can add value to the show. Although HD does not have as many fans, she is a well-respected performer, and certainly can bring in an audience. But unfortunately, the production people were disappointed at the attitude of HD. They felt that HD should not be as demanding as she knew from the start that the production was running on a limited budget. The other performers who had international exposure did not show any qualms unlike HD.

First, HD complained about how she did not like the food served to them. Wanting to please her, the staff bought her food. When the food was served, HD said she already had someone buy the food she liked. Second, the stage manager got peeved when the road manager of HD insisted on implementing their own stage direction. The SM instructed her to enter at stage right but the RM said HD preferred entering from the left side. Then, HD asked why she was made to wait in the wings. It was explained to her that the performer on stage still had a couple of songs left before her turn. Third, the RM and HD insisted they handle their own playback. The crew could not argue and gave in to their request. HD went onstage and sang but the playback was wrong. Finally, HD left even before the finale number without saying goodbye to the production team.

These incidents earned HD a new monicker among the production, “balyenang mal-edukada,” which fits her whale-sized attitude.

Joy, Love, and Care Amidst Pain

Image courtesy of www.art.com

Neighbors are wondering why of late, an unfamiliar car seems to be frequently seen in front of the home of a versatile actor (VA). Sometimes, the car would be parked overnight or  even longer. VA’s  neighbors could not help but admire his beautiful home. But of course, hoping for the chance to see VA as well when they pass by. But the presence of the car stirred more curiosity. One day, someone chanced upon beguiled actress (BA) stepping out of the car. BA is just recovering from a public breakup from sporty personality (SP). Stories about their break up pinpointed to several people as possible third parties, including VA.

Usually, when showbiz parties break up, neither one would say something to the press. In some cases, one party will say something negative against the other. In the case of SP and BA, he would always come to BA’s defense or say something positive whenever stories linking her to VA come out. SP would always have a reaction when it comes to BA even until now. Yet, BA would just keep quiet. How true is it that a stipulation in SP’s contract states that he should remain single and must never admit to any serious relationship? Was this the condition that caused a major fight between BA and SP? To put it bluntly, did SP opt for money over their long-term relationship. Will the money SP will be earning for the next few years and career opportunities awaiting him worthy of sacrificing the love of BA?

Feeling hurt and beguiled, BA found comfort in the arms of VA, who just happened to be there. Sensing how caring and supportive he was for her, BA quickly fell in love with VA. Now, BA and VA are happy together although there is no public admission yet (perhaps, when their movie is shown, then the public will find out).
