What's Behind the Glamour

In the entertainment industry, any talent should essentially have a manager or a management team who will devote their time to organize schedules, close deals, and attend to the needs of the said talent. Whenever the said talent has an entourage, which could include makeup artist, stylist, production assistant, among others, these people have to be on the talent’s payroll. Moreover, the practice is that the manager, who is the one who seeks, negotiates, and closes projects, is given a small commission. The problem starts when the talent refuses to release such commission.

To make Indifferent Celebrity (IC) look beautiful and alluring in front of cameras, services of a competent team are needed. IC looks very different without makeup compared to her fully made up face, and some could not recognize her without makeup. To avoid losing time during makeup, IC hired people to make her look good. Then, to assure that her affairs are organized, IC availed of services of professionals who attend to her beck and call. The deal allegedly is that IC should pay the commission of a Professional Practitioner (PP).

After several attempts at getting in touch with IC, PP has reached the highest level of frustration. Apparently, IC has ignored PP. The bottom line is that IC owes people who have served as her support system a substantial amount of money from commissions. While PP was able to talk to IC and agreements were reached concerning the said payment, IC did not keep her word. So frustrated were the unpaid staff, they even attempted to contact and to seek help from the glamorous circle of IC. They were unsuccessful.

Although IC is not in the entertainment industry, she is quite popular in her field that sometimes crosses over showbiz. IC also has endorsements as indicated by publicity materials that show her and rely on her face as the image of their products. Besides, IC comes from a well-known family who is much respected in high society. Given her background, the staff, comprising of ordinary hard workers, wonder why IC could not even keep her word to pay them. Stories have it that IC will soon get married, and yet amidst her preparations, she has opted to be harder than a rock when it comes to paying up. It’s too bad that such a pretty face could be so uncaring and cold to the situation of ordinary folks.

‘A good name is still to be preferred over great riches. Especially it is to be preferred to the appearance of riches, acquired with nothing down and nothing to pay for 2 months.’ ― Ezra Taft Benson
