Practice Mindfulness in Your Actions

Time and again, stars of yesteryears can only remind newbies of the importance of behavior outside the studios and off camera. With the influx of young talents, networks and their respective managements are having a hard time to monitor and control their behavior. When a talent is built up, the network spends energy to make sure such talent gets airtime, press releases, interviews, and visual exposure to assure that he/she will become a familiar face. Therefore, such talent becomes recognizable in most places where he/she goes. The choice of the place sometimes indicates his/her character, which can imply the good and the bad effect of his true self versus the image his/her network is trying to build.

One time, Reality TV Talent (RT) was seen checking in a hotel with a young female companion. The check-in rate fell under the short-time promo. After a few hours, RT even requested the personnel to call him a cab. The said hotel is even near his network, which is quite a risky choice. Venues near networks are often the hangout spots of people who are celebrity gawkers.

While being seen with a female companion is not much of a big deal compared with being seen with a male peer checking in a hotel, something was still questionable in the act of RT. When RT was discovered in a show, the network listed his age below 18, which makes him a minor. A minor checking in under such a promo is definitely not acceptable in terms of the law and moral standards. However, if the network has made his age a mere press release and that RT is really older than 18, then there will be no argument concerning his status.

At any rate, RT should be warned that such behavior might have detrimental effects to his budding career. Having received a certain recognition early in his career should be a sign that he can succeed as his effort and talent were noticed early. However, if RT gives in to temptations easily, then he risks losing much of what the network has invested in him. Moreover, RT should be advised this early that given the long line of wannabee actors, he can easily be replaced and he can kiss his showbiz dreams goodbye. Someone has to make him aware that his behavior can make or break his image. Once the public forms a negative image of RT, the network will not do much damage control as he is still starting out and is still dispensable.
