Display of Pretentiousness
Image courtesy of www.thealmightyguru.com
The pompous host (PH) is known for her impeccable command of English and earning recognition for her advocacies from various organizations. Her choice of shows has been limited to lifestyle shows that feature the finer things in life. Later on, she branched out into having her own line of products catering to household needs.
However, some sectors are tired of PH trying too hard to belong to the elite. PH loves to name drop high-end brands, artists, jewelry makers, among others. For example, when people heard her talk about a famous American painter, it seemed like she owned the original. However, what she owns, allegedly, is a print of the original.
At a small dinner party, she talked about the rarity of a pair of earrings a friend got for her. The friend got the earrings, as she said, from an exclusive high-end jewelry maker abroad. She also spoke of how expensive these earrings were. She did not know that some of the guests were laughing behind her back because those earrings were available online at a discounted price.
Sometimes PH and her friends are topics in society dinners because of their pretentious habits and constant name-dropping. They earned the nickname, “AbFab,” which is based on a British sitcom about a couple of social climbers.
Moreover, some also noticed that PH could not keep herself from making catty comments behind the back of people. They wonder if PH is jealous of people who have more money, or bitter that she does not have as much to live the lifestyle she desires and projects.

Disappointing Remarks
Image courtesy of www.zazzle.com
In one of his guest stints, AH became close with a fellow judge (FJ). FJ is making a name in the network after her acting break in a soap opera. Slowly, FJ is also moving away from the image of "the little sister." Their closeness extended to FJ visiting AH in his tapings. However, FJ has to bring along a relative or another talent to the set of AH so it would not be too obvious that she likes him. It would have been simple, but FJ has a boyfriend.
People noticed their closeness and started teasing AH about it but he merely shrugged it off. His next unsolicited statements stunned the people who were within hearing distance. AH said that he would rather be with FJ than with the sexy star (SS) who invited him to her condo but he declined. AH added that he was afraid he might get AIDS from SS. AH said that FJ was a better choice as he was sure FJ was clean. Since the boyfriend was away, they could spend time together according to AH.
It seems AH forgot about his good-boy image when he overreacted and spoke of SS in such a derogatory manner, and when he continued to entertain FJ even if he knew she had a boyfriend.

Case of the Vapid Host
Image courtesy of www.infinitypond.com
Take the case of the arrival of NSH and other network personalities at the airport. People noticed that very few bothered to give attention to NSH. Hence, her bodyguards had an easy time. The other talents were fussed upon by the crowd, which was in contrast to how the crowd reacted to NSH. When some press people approached her for an interview, NSH avoided them. The press said that they won’t bother with her if she does not want to talk and that they did not find NSH an interesting subject. Someone tried to make the customary kissing on the cheek of NSH. As expected, she did her best to move away. Onlookers felt a bit slighted at the attitude of NSH.
In contrast, CH was his usual flamboyant self with the crowd, and used his charm to win them over. Despite his bodyguards, he allowed the fans to come nearer to him. Then, he asked the crowd if they had eaten. Then, CH gave away some money before he checked-in for their flight. Will CH be able to rub some of his charisma to make NSH more endearing to the audience? Let's wait and see.

Break up Mystery and the Alleged Party
Image courtesy of www.360nobs.com
Although TG has the looks and talent, she could not connect with the audience, so she was not as visible as DH was on television. Nonetheless, TG seemed to be contented supporting DH. There were even rumors that DH was finally settling down with TG, and was building a house for both of them. Of course, the other complementary rumor is that they were living together.
Now, while the public and the press did not bother with DH and TG, a few days ago, the couple called it quits. DH found TG too demanding, and over jealous with his female best friend (FB). At a restaurant, TG cursed DH to the point that he felt so small, and was deeply hurt by the actions of TG. Immediately, TG retrieved her dogs from his place.
Note that DH and FB grew up together, and the audience saw them evolve from cute kids into their current status in showbiz. Besides, the sister of DH and FB are also the best of friends. Was there a specific incident between DH and FB that spurned TG? By the way, FB is single now, and a few weeks ago FB was in the limelight because of the breakup of A and BL.

Pretty Lucky Actress
Image courtesy of www.beauchance.tumblr.com
However, PA’s relationship with H2 is more interesting than with H1. While H2 was away, PA continued to benefit from the lavish lifestyle she enjoyed with him. She would use his car and driver without regard for the needs of the members of the family of H2. The patriarch had to step in and PA had no choice but to return the car. At one point, PA told people that she and H2 have already broken up but they really haven’t. The family of H2 kept quiet because they feared H2 might do something foolish again all because of PA. Besides, the family did not like her at all because they felt PA was just using H2 to satisfy her material needs.
Then PA started enjoying the company of another actor (AA), who comes from an old rich family. At that time, AA was already ending his relationship with his traumatized girlfriend (TG). Since PA and AA were doing a project together, there was an excuse for them to be seen together. AA even brought PA to a network event but everyone thought this appearance was a publicity gimmick. Within the next months, PA would be seen with H2 but she would not comment on their relationship. Then, she would be seen with AA, such as catching the last full show of a movie. In a recent interview, AA was asked about PA. AA requested privacy over that issue.
Has AA fallen in love again? Has PA totally released H2 from her grasp, or is she still keeping his company for material reasons, while having AA at her side? Is PA merely being user-friendly? Your guesses are as good as mine.

Reverberating Comment
Image courtesy of www.blakeneypointsealtrips.co.uk
During the concert, the performer looked into the area where NS was. Then, the performer said something about looking good in make-up. Of course, the people around her felt NS was being alluded to. The performer then stressed the point: without wearing make-up would make one even look better. If the message got into NS, no one knows.
At this point in her career, NS is one of those starlets rumoured to be a product of beauty enhancements. For example, her skin tone is much lighter compared to when she was just starting out, and her nose was not as pointed then as it is now.
If her sister heard the comment of the performer, would she have merely smiled with thoughts of, “I told you so”? Or, would she remind NS that true beauty comes from within, and that no amount of science could hide the ugliness of one's character?

The Enigma of a Gaga
Image courtesy of www.nation.com.pk
Worldwide, Lady Gaga’s music and presence never fail to stir controversy in a huge way. Her bizzare stage performances are often subjects to criticisms and ridicule. Her Born This Way Ball Tour sparked debates from people of all persuasions - religion, politics, entertainment. And just about every Tom, Dick and Harry, too. Locally, it is also the limelight-seeking politicians who dip their already dirty fingers to every issue one can imagine. But often than not, it's the the religious communities who feel strongly against her. They label Lady Gaga and her music as blasphemous, disrespectful, profane. Guys, have you heard of freedom called expression?
These people protest that her songs' lyrics are too offensive and provocative for comfort. They believe their fear that her huge influence will make the youth astray and be menace to society. They claim that she is a devil doing satanic rituals on the pretext of music. Oh, my foot!
But why this violent reaction over Lady Gaga? Why didn’t we protest about other foreign artists who were here before her, whose image and music were likewise as controversial, if not dubious? What made her so ‘special’ to deserve a boycott? Oh well, so much over-acting for nothing. Or so much ignorance.
Wasn't Lady Gaga the one who put up a foundation to empower the youth, who was the first to stand up and raised millions to help Japan and Haiti after the devastating earthquakes, who joined MAC to support people living with aids, and the list goes on? Is this now the new definition of devil?
And who are these supposed judges of Gaga's character? Have you ever filled even half her shoes? Please stand up and be counted.
Since when did it happen that listening to love songs will make you fall in love, exposure to religious songs will make you godly, and listening to Gaga’s Judas song will make you satanic?
Where is reason in justfying that the young people should not watch and hear her? Hello? Have you heard of internet, of youtube? If your daughter goes and chooses to follow the Lady, don't blame the Gaga, blame yourself who raised her.
I happened to be lucky enough to watch her concert on its first day here in Manila. Up close, I saw the fire in her, the passion I never knew before. To say that she is fabulous is a gross understatement. The sold-out concert was an ultimate experience. Her audience was devoted, and like her, was brave and daring. What drew them to Lady Gaga was her fab persona, her fearlessness to express herself. She is bold, captivating, defiant. She was aware of the boycott and addressed those concerned, "I am not a creature of your government, Manila!" That sent goose bumps all over.
For the Lady, it’s all about you, yourself and living it. "People need to be free, to be who they are." And that's enough inspiration for her fans whom she calls her Little Monsters.
To the skeptics, we hope you open that box - behind Lady Gaga's outrageous image is a person who cares about the world, the youth. For the Gaga, it’s not always about the music. It’s all about you - us. Our insecurities and fears hold us back, but she says that we should embrace it all. No escape, no excuse. Because rightly or wrongly, like it or not - we were born this way.

Just So It Ends
Image courtesy of www.freeimages.co.uk
If DH thought he could get away with what he did over social media, he was wrong. DH was called by the executives of his network and was given a dressing down. He was reprimanded for his unbecoming behavior that was not worthy of the network’s reputation. Instead of protecting the talents of the network, DH even volunteered to destroy one, and publicly at that. The network’s bosses did not at all like DH’s lack of discernment as to how to address properly such statements that pertain to the network’s talents, especially in social media, which can be read and resent to a mass base. What made it worse is that the network received emails demanding the removal of DH, and even threats of unsubscription to their international cable channel because of what DH did.

Just Me and You
Image courtesy of www.ensilence.bandcamp.com
However, their relationship is indeed against all odds. A’s family does not like E. In a family gathering, her relatives ignored E and moved around like he was not there. This behavior of her family irked A and she reminded them that she was the one bringing in the money and that her relatives do not have money, anyway. Those words earned her a slap from her grandfather.
So, A left home for a short time. Apparently, the family cannot accept the fact that E used to indulge in prohibited substance. Would E and A end up happily amidst all the blockades in their relationship? Let’s wait and hope for the best.

Major Mistake
Image courtesy of www.easysmallbusinesshr.com
The foreign management of FA did not like the obvious display of excited affection being thrown by LA. They talked among themselves in their language as to how comedic the whole thing was to them. What worried the foreigners were the rumors of LA flirting with her leading men and her not-so-good reputation.
Worse, the foreign management was not impressed that the storycon was held at a cheap hotel in their country. The choice of venue gave the impression that they may have made a mistake in choosing to work with this local film outfit. They questioned why a kind of big budgeted production held its launch in a such a venue. Another concern is the lack of buzz when the project was formally announced. It now worries them how this will affect the international image of the actor that is prized highly in their country.
Incidentally, adding to the rumors of LA’s flirty nature with local actors is the story of her brief involvement with a committed hunk actor (CH). While they were doing an indie film, CH brought LA to his house in a nearby province. Unfortunately, the girlfriend caught them. As usual, the girlfriend forgave CH. LA was dating someone then, but he was clueless of the side affairs of LA.
Now, should the film management of FA have reason to worry? Will LA behave during their filming of the movie?

Furious Girl
Image courtesy of www.sjonesluv.blogspot.com
Her fury continued. At the parking lot, witnesses saw FH scream her lungs out at the moreno hunk. It did not stop there. Screaming was not enough! In front of an SUV, FH was so enraged that she threw her red bag at the hunk.
What did the moreno hunk do to make FH furious? Is this a case of “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” as the cliché goes? Was she so mad that she had to express herself with no regard of being in a public place, and within the sight of the public at that?
Although FH might defend herself by saying that she was only behaving as a normal human being would in a fit of rage, she has to remember that she was still in a public place, (and in sight of CCTV cameras). More than that, as a celebrity, it falls on her to behave in the decorum worthy of the principles of the network she serves. Does FH need to be reminded that as a public figure, her every behavior catches the attention of people? If FH loves her job and her network, then she has to learn to exert control. Striking out twice in such a short span is not good for her image and the network.

Giving Too Much Attitude
Image courtesy of www.stewardshipresources.org
One time, on the eve of a show, after everything has been planned for the numbers of FS, the production got word that FS cancelled. What made the situation worse was that the production people had to find a way to fill the slots vacated by the sudden cancellation. Acknowledging its contract of obligation to FS, the management of the show had to sweet-talk FS and company as to how they can improve the show. To cut short the story, FS and her team demanded she be given her own segment.
Weeks before the launching of the segment, the production people prepared their concept, the segment title, and the songs for FS. After they presented their plan, the team of FS rejected their ideas. Rather than create an issue, the slighted creative team relented to the suggested segment title, the concept, and the song to be presented by FS.
If you are a regular viewer of the show, how do you find the new segment of FS? Can you identify who she 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.

Giddy-fan Mentality
Image courtesy of www.www2.stetson.edu
Assuming reporter (AR) might have pushed her luck too far when she covered the arrival of a foreign celebrity (FC). A common and acceptable practice in the country is that an authorized PR firm handles the coverage of any foreign artist, who usually comes to the country due to business matters. In the case of FC, he came over for an endorsement. Hence, the official firm should be respected in terms of arrival announcements and other commitments of the foreign artists it brings over, and the firm has the sole right to authorize press people for interviews, which include photos and other press releases.
While the fans of FC tweeted how much they appreciated AR for her story, AR allegedly broke protocol by tweeting the arrival of FC without permission from the official firm. Then, upon the arrival of FC, AR met him and behaved unbecoming of a professional reporter. AR tweeted “he put his arms around my shoulder,” and uploaded personal photos with him at the airport. This behavior of AR did not escape the attention of the US representative of FC. In fact, the US rep frowned at what AR did, and called the attention of the official firm. Because of AR, the PR firm was placed in hot water.
This incident is not the first time AR behaved unprofessionally. Sometime ago, AR also gatecrashed a private dinner hosted for a young Asian actor (AA). Onlookers were shocked to see AR literally pushing her front towards AA, not minding that the manager of AA and the company CEO were just beside them.
To prevent further embarrassment, the said firm is seeking to ban AR from covering certain exclusives. Of course, had AR been more responsible in her use of social media then none of this hullabaloo would have happened. Perhaps, AR should be reminded she should behave like a professional news reporter, and not act like a giddy fan every time she comes in contact with a foreign artist.

Looking for the Right Guy
Image courtesy of www.therightguyshow.com
Female figure (FF) must have learned this lesson the hard way. As soon as the public sensed something special was happening to FF, her once quiet life became a feast for the tri-media. Even blog sites did not spare FF. From what she wore to what she said, FF became a regular staple in the news. Even her past was not spared and skeletons are coming out of her closet. Stories have it that FF was once involved with a former politician, who was several years older. This relationship was kept to a low profile because the former politician was once quite influential in the affairs of the state and was very much married and FF was just one of the staff.
Then, Mr. Businessman (MB) entered her life. The relationship of MB and FF was so serious that he ended his marriage for her sake. Although MB has access to girls he desires, he was never smitten enough to leave his family until FF came along. MB showered FF with very expensive gifts, which she would flaunt around. They even spoke of marriage while vacationing abroad. Suddenly, FF cooled it off with MB. FF then resurfaced dating another older man, who was, this time, unattached. Just as when people thought FF was happy, others thought otherwise. The doomsayers had their way and in less than half a year, FF and the unattached man parted ways. Now, FF is back to her quiet life and the media will soon grow tired of watching her every move. However, FF was seen with what she termed as something-that- was-lent to her, and speculations pointed to MB as the giver. Does this mean FF returned to MB after her failed relationship or is there another mystery man?

Celebrities Heat Up Social Media
Image courtesy of www.getitfromboy.net
Stars and celebrities should be aware that there will always be consequences to their every move, esp in public. 'Public' in this very techie world also refers to social media, which also means social network sites like twitter and facebook. How you publicly conduct yourself tells a ton about who you are. These sites provide everyone the platform to air, vent, express themselves about just anything. But nothing so easy comes without a price. For celebrites that they are, are subjects to fair game, a "free-for-all," any day, anytime...always. By joining these sites, stars or not, you open yourself up to be publicly scrutinized to the very core of your being.
The very popular twitter has been invaded by numerous nameless and faceless people hiding behind disguises or anonymity. A great number of them thrive mostly on bashing and demeaning celebrities, cutting them down to pieces - the more popular, the better. They gloat when their target celeb gets affected and reply to them in self-defense. These bashers' mission for the day is accomplished when stars react, and get mad in the process. It gives them that ultimate high - the power to level up.
But why give it to them? Why cheapen yourself by reacting? Your biggest blunder is to empower these people. Do not dignify their existence - it kills them. Why not choose to live in peace? Ignore. That's what 'sensible and thinking' stars do. Don't be a loser. No need to complicate your already complicated life. Now, if you have tons of time to waste in your hands, and choose to counter your haters' every tweet, then your being a fool will be your very downfall. Ultimately, who gets burned?
Yet never too late for the twinkling star to get out of the hot kitchen...quick.

Congratulations to My Thinspiration: Mrs. Shirley Lam-Tee

Last Saturday, My Thinspiration, Shirley, marched down the aisle in her Pepsi Herrera wedding gown. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Edson and Shirley Tee!
This is how she looks after more than a year of serious work out and strict diet (no treatments or surgery).
She lost more than 200 pounds. Her nephew was her inspiration. She loved him so much she wanted to be able to play and run around with him. So whenever she's on the treadmill, she imagines that she is running after her cute nephew.
Shirley also met her husband, Edson, while working out at the gym.
