Putting Them Down!

Lucky Star is getting the best showbiz has to offer. What others before him can only dream of, TS’ blessings fabulously landed on his lap in record time - like a bolt of lightning.

LS’ fame surprise industry followers as to how someone so raw in talent can suddenly achieve such celebrity status, with nary a sweat, so they say. Critics say it’s undeserved, because LS only capitalized on his family’s showbiz lineage. But to be fair to him, LS has unique charm that probably helped catapult him to where he is now.

But unlike other stars, just as fast as his phenomenal rise to fame is the sudden emergence of his many critics/bashers that have sprouted all over especially in the social networking sites. Fortunately, the famous and famously hated LS has tons of fans who are always there like armed forces ready to defend their idol – hook, line and sinker.

What makes it difficult for his bashers to soften up on him is LS’ public relations or lack of it, that border on arrogance. Observers alleged that LS has that distinct attitude that's quite irritating for a newbie, to say the least.Several episodes of his alleged arrogance - the way he mouths words even to his well-meaning critics says a lot. Some thought that LS is only brash to his critics and bashers, but not a few have met the sharp tonque of this little, rich boy.

During visits to the jobsite of his ongoing project in the metro, LS minces no words castigating and cursing the project managers and workers PW every time he sees them doing things not to his liking. PW’s are aghast never thinking that this boy who is young enough to be their son or grandson could just say those words to put them down.

Fame is a dangerous drug indeed, especially to the impressionable young who seems to have difficulty with social behavior vis a vis his celebrity status. To whom much is given, much is expected. Women fans who only want to take pictures don't deserve crassness. Hope his elders and career handlers will not just resort to the usual damage control but rather will make effort to refine the image of this uninitiated. Some good manners won't hurt.

Hopefully, LS gets to think a little just how critics are vital for stars like him in the industry. People say that LS must address such controversies, or he will be forever pegged as his infamous American counterpart. Just because you’re famous doesn’t mean you’re good.

For one so young, LS' sudden fame and windfall can be history if not properly handled. Unless he plays his cards right, it's too early to tell what awaits him in the industry.
