The Language Reveals All

Image courtesy of www.dliflc.edu

At a press conference, young actress (YA1) came in late so the press and her co-actors in the teleserye started teasing her. YA1 is not known to be fussy when being interviewed so she did not really mind the joking. No matter how negative she might be at times, YA1 can be accommodating enough to reporters and has no qualms answering questions unless there are orders that she should not be so.

Then, a senior co-actor, who plays a significant role in the drama, said that she was late because YA1 and her co-star, young actress (YA2), both came from a bar the night before. Everyone present-- the stars and the press -- knew that senior actor said that in jest and did not mean anything malicious at all. But YA1 answered the senior actor to defend herself. Upon hearing YA1, a younger co-actor CO remarked, "Patola?" The press was shocked and couldn't believe what they just heard. "What? CO spoke in Bekimon?" was all they could utter. The audience likewise gave a confused looked as they were not expecting OA to gayspeak.

Well, is this unguarded moment a sign of the heavy influence of the bekis around CO, or is this a revelation of what really is in him?

Gluttony and the Smelly Consequence

Image courtesy of www.anitajoyholland.deviantart.com

At a dinner in a restaurant, some diners were turned off by the smelly incident that happened to one of the actors starring in a series. That night, muscular actor (MA) was eating more than what his fellow diners thought he could. MA is known to be very particular with his body and is noted for being fit. In fact, MA was one of those who made a well-buffed body a trend among the young generation of actors. Anyhow, MA just kept eating and eating. Perhaps the food was really delicious or he was just happy that night that MA kept binging.

Since it seemed that he almost finished their orders, obviously MA over ate. So, with that combination, something immediately did not agree with his stomach. Lo, he went to the restroom and stayed there for at least half an hour. As a celebrity, his entry into the restroom was not unnoticed by the other restaurant goers who saw him and waited for him to step out. Those who had the guts to enter the restroom heard the rumbling and smelled the result of MA’s gluttony. Embarrassed by the disappearance of MA, his friends at his dinner table started to step out of the restaurant one by one. Finally, when MA rejoined his friends, he was all sweaty, and perhaps, relieved.

What’s the learning here? Simple, keep to your diet, and avoid pigging-out on food that can make your stomach grumble. Lucky for MA he was in a restaurant. Imagine the horrors had he been on location. Then, he would have had a similar experience as this other young actor (but that’s another story.)

Odd Request from the Speaker

 Image courtesy of www.cutcaster.com

Anyone who plunges into showbiz, fashion, politics, and entertainment in general gets some sort of a celebrity status and as such should be prepared by the realities that go with it. To be hounded by paparazzi is one, especially in a country that is so photograph-crazy. The fans believe stars should at least try to be accommodating for simple requests such as photo-ops, also known as photo opportunity. In all fairness, most celebrities do try to be nice and cool about it.

However, this celebrity (BC) is an exemption. BC led a quiet and low profile life prior to winning in a national contest. Her unique name and impressive academic credentials helped her clinched the title. But her sudden rise to fame was something she obviously did not expect. When she came home after winning in a major contest abroad, it was expected that BC would get some invitations to grace some events, personal appearances in television shows, some on-the-spot interviews, and the like. But trouble started when BC became a little uncooperative. Some people witnessed that BC did not hesitate to show how tired, uncomfortable and unhappy she was every time she felt like it. In other words, people did not see in her the charm that she should have shown at that point.

BC always reasoned out that she did not want to be in the limelight. Smart as she is, shouldn't she have known better? Joining a major contest and winning it, didn't she know that she would reap the unwanted attention after? Yet, BC obviously abhors it. To make matters worse, her attitude has spilled over to her public appearances. Not too long ago, she was invited to be a guest speaker in an annual tourism event. Everyone in the audience was excited as it’s not often that they get to hear from a "beauty and brains" celebrity like her.

But all the excitement was short-lived, after all. It turned out, even before BC took to the stage to speak,  participants were told that no pictures of her would be taken. The order from the management was to be strictly enforced. Thus security was tightened when BC entered, and the audience unwillingly obliged to the order.

The disappointed participants couldn't help but wonder why BC would give such an order. They felt it was so off since the other speakers, one of them a more popular and influential media practitioner did not and would probably not give such a silly request. So, what's with BC? If she is not willing to make even little sacrifices, shouldn't she have opted to stay home for good so as not to rock her highly prized privacy?

Smart as she is, it seems that propriety is something that BC has to relearn.

Securing His Place in Her Network

Image courtesy of www.hacking-class.blogspot.com

An influential network insider (INI) was dragged into a controversy sometime ago, but the flames were immediately put out before it became haywire. The controversy was not the doing of INI, but she was dragged because the parties involved were close to her personally and professionally. Because of INI's  influence, the issue was not played up.

Meanwhile, seasoned actor (SA) has done the rounds of almost all the networks and almost all possible roles in all possible movie and television genre. In short, SA has had a colourful career that is as colourful as his personal life. Earlier, when SA faded out of the limelight, everyone thought it was for good as he seemed bent on retiring from showbiz. But years passed, SA was always lured with good offers for him to return to acting. He repeatedly turned it down, until an offer came that made him decided to return with the family. However, SA got involved in another career controversy that almost made him leave again. But the call of acting and performing was too great, that he decided to stay. The younger generation might not know him anymore, but SA is still so handsome and with a look that seems to defy aging.

What then is the connection between INI and SA? In a network event, SA was seen coming out of the hotel room of INI early morning. SA, regardless of his age is still every colegiala’s dream, and no woman would probably turn him down. INI is not bad looking either. Allegedly, a rumour is going around that SA and INI hooked up for their own personal reasons? SA is with INI so he can be secure in his career with the network, while INI is in there to get back at a very close person who had betrayed her.

Is this a case of “as long as we’re not caught, it’s perfectly all right?” Please abide by the GUIDELINES in writing comments if you want them to be posted. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

She’s Turning Over a New Leaf

Image courtesy of www.blogaaholic.com

At the peak of her career, versatile actress VA savored everything she had - fame, money, endorsements, movies, colorful lovelife, and legions of fans who were willing to defend her at all costs. As age caught up with her, she succumbed to the domestic life and raised her children. Once in a while, she would appear on television which was welcomed by her fans and the curious public. However, the downtrend in local cinema and many changes in her personal life affected her career. Eventually, VA went into hiatus, and the public thought she was going the way of great Hollywood legends like a Garbo.

But that wasn't so, her rare appearances were really the result of the low ratings of her tv and movie projects, bad habits, and domestic problems. VA has been beset with all sorts of rumors, the most recent one tested her character because the issue raised public awareness against her. Still, she was VA, and the industry opened its doors for her.

As for the public, the reaction to her projects is quite ambivalent. While her recent movie broke box office records, her next one was a disappoinment at the tills.

At one point, the networks gambled on her. She had good materials but the public did not bite and the ratings suffered. Soon, rumors that she was being difficult to work with were circulating. And now with a career that is not as bankable and hounded by negative image, VA is said to be doing the rounds of the networks asking for projects to at least help pay her bills. Some networks could not afford the risk and turned down feelers from her camp. Finally, she was down to the last network. VA allegedly said that a lower talent fee would not matter as long as she has work. The network gave in and offered her a project on one condition: if she gets difficult again during tapings, her character will be immediately vanished.

Will this new project pave the way for VA to reclaim her lost glory? Will the public give her a second chance? Very soon, we will know the answers.

Misguided Miss

 Image courtesy of www.abbzzw.com

If she does not watch out, this pretty daughter PD might just add up to the rising statistics of teenage pregnancies in the country. PD has one of controversial parents in the social scene. Though she chooses to be quiet in her own world, it just can't be helped that she is also written about because of her relations. Anyway, since she was born into affluence, she has acquired the flamboyance and expensive tastes of her parents, particularly her mother. Young as she is, PD is already into expensive things, branded stuff and luxurious travels, with or without her parents in tow. Needless to say, she goes to an expensive school as well.

In school, she is treated just like an ordinary student, as is wont in most multi-cultural schools. So ordinary that PD probably thinks no one would mind whatever she does inside the campus. But oh how mistaken she is. Because only recently, she was seen doing a heavy PDA (public display of affection) inside the campus. Apparently, the young miss has a relationship with someone enrolled in the same school. For one so young, that was such a major concern. Even older people get unwelcome stares when seen doing it publicly. How much more for a girl like her, and within school premises at that?

Maybe it's about time that the busy parents get to stop for a while, take a break, and smell the flowers with their daughter. Don't you think so?

The Vindictive Actress

Image courtesy of www.bluelullaby2012.deviantant.com

Pretty star PS and charming actress CA had a controversial feud in the past. While CA had forgotten about it and moved on, PS obviously hasn't. She just can't get enough and has been moving heaven and earth to get back at CA. PS intensely lobbied for her management to give her a tv project opposite a hunk actor HA who is rumored to be secretly in a relationship with CA. Not long after, a tv series was conceived according to PS' terms: she and HA as the lead stars. In PS' mind, having a project with HA gives her a big advantage - the opportunity to bond and be "friendly" with HA, who is also her crush. Apparently, her move is a well-thought out plan deeply rooted from her hatred towards CA.

You might ask: Just how scheming PS can be?

One of those included in the tv series' final casting was a recently- awarded actor A1, who was already briefed about the requirements of his character through his manager. But all of a sudden his manager got word that A1 was already scrapped from the cast. The reason? PS said she doesn't feel comfortable working with him. That really surprised A1 since he and PS had already done two tv series in the past after they broke up as sweethearts years ago. Soon after, A1 learned that another actor, A2 was belatedly included (or inserted?) in the cast. A2 happens to be the current bf of PS.

Just goes to show how PS can be capable of calling the shots as she wishes. Makes one wonder where is her power over her management coming from as she can easily influence major project decisions just like that. PS can be charming with anyone if she wants to. But she is also fearless and ruthless. Time and again, she knows what she wants and gets it. As to how she succeeds in this scheme will depend a great deal on how well she plays her cards on her management who just can't seem to say no to her. Hmmm, do we smell something fishy here?

On PS rift with CA, will she successfully charm HA to make him forget CA as planned? PS is probably thinking: there are many ways to skin a cat, oh well. But what about her current beau A2? How long can he take everything PS will throw his way?

Do you know all the characters mentioned? Make sure your guesses are as deep as the plot of this interesting story. Good luck!

Arrogant Director

Image courtesy of www.todayandtomorrow.net

When the proud director (PD) was starting out, he managed a string of hits in the box office that he declared himself as an heir apparent to a well-acclaimed director. This declaration was not well taken by the industry people and he was branded as too assuming. After all, he was very young then, while the well-acclaimed director had already directed some of best movies, now considered classics, in Philippine cinema. Some actually criticized how PD dared to compare himself with the said director when he had yet to direct an epic movie. However, since there were not enough skilled and talented directors during his time, he did his work and continued his box-office draw. In fairness, he did some good movies but he still has yet to direct a movie that would be critically-acclaimed like a Brocka or a Bernal.

Years later, PD had established his name and has directed the movies that launched the careers of some of today’s stars. He also ventured into directing telenovelas and he managed to pull through difficult and monumental dramas. Then, he joined the bandwagon and moved on to another network. Other than directing, he was given new tasks in the new network and had more exposure as well.

Despite the years, however, PD still continued with his effrontery. A few weeks ago, PD got hysterical and berated a network insider (NI) when something did not go his way. There was a delay in his salary and he blew his top at NI who was not even in charge of disbursing his salary. PD allegedly called NI b*b* during a taping and complained why he did not know anything when he is supposed to be holding a position. NI, however, kept his cool and did not engage PD in a shouting match. NI simply replied, “Hindi kami b*b*.” Hence, taping was unduly delayed because of his hysterics.

Well, although it was supposed to be a good movie, his most recent directorial job did not do well at the box office.

Celebrity Gets Pulled Down by Gravity

Image courtesy of www.filipinofreethinkers.com

Controversial Celebrity (CC) was spending her evening in one of the exclusive boxes of a concert venue with her socialite friends. The venue was abuzz because of the ongoing concert of an international performer. Of course, that concert was THE event of the week, and other celebrities were spotted jamming with the music. While CC was mingling with her crowd in the exclusive room, she got an invitation from some friends to the patron area to get a better view of the concert.

In her snotty accent, she said, loud enough to be heard by everyone, “I’ll go down and mingle with the humans later!” So, everyone gave her a look and wondered what she meant. Since she always considered herself a notch above the masses, this attitude was nothing new.

So, CC, in her white sequined outfit made her way in her usual regal way. Even without wanting to, people cannot avoid glancing at her. CC, despite her quirks, is still an attraction. Everyone simply has to look at her. This evening was no different. People were looking at CC and they were staring at her dress. With her head raised, CC walked towards the area and paraded her outfit. Being looked at was usual for CC.

Then, CC got flabbergasted with what she saw. The push girls and promodizers for the sponsors were wearing white outfits with sequins. In short, CC seemed like the queen ant joining her ant workers. No wonder she had more stares as she was walking. Some people who overheard her earlier statement could not help but snicker at seeing CC outshone by the ordinary saleswomen. At least no one gave CC a basket of products to give away to the concert viewers. Well, the higher one thinks she is, the harder will be her fall. We’re all humans, after all. CC just thinks otherwise.

Goodbye Endorsers: Your Demands are Too Atrocious

Image courtesy of www.bethannchiles.com

Fame, money, and box office reputation are often some of the elements that turn simple and nice girls into proud, demanding, and unreasonable divas. Take the case of Endorser 1 (E1) and Endorser 2 (E2). E1 and E2 are both in showbiz. While E1 started ahead and claimed her share in showbiz early in her career, E2 did not allow their relationship to hinder whatever break she was going to have. Soon, a channel decided to invest in E2, while E1 continued to cling on her spot.

When they were both starting out and obviously, only had a handful of followers, a fashion brand took risks and made them endorsers. Although the brand is not as media savvy as other named brands, its clothes which are in malls are of good quality, have loyal buyers. For years, E1 and E2 were the image models of the brand. As time passed, E2 made her name and got out of E1’s shadow. She got her shot at fame by showing-off her all-around ability in her network. And yes, E2 also showed attitude problems.

Then, E1 and E2 were dropped as the image models of the brand. A younger female models replaced them. When asked why E1 and E2 were dropped, insiders kept mum but a curious source found out the reason.

Allegedly, as the years passed, E1 and E2 were becoming more difficult to work with. Their manager who had been with them since the start began to make unreasonable demands from the owners of the brand. For example, in a photoshoot, the owners prepared everything, from accessories, clothes, make-up artist, to the photographers, all the stuff. Everything was ironed out until the manager kept postponing the shoot. Turned out, the manager and E1 wanted a more expensive make-up artist and stylist to be hired. In another incident, when the photos came out and the manager did not like them, the owners had to schedule a reshoot. To show how much importance they gave to the brand, the freebies were sold in their garage sale. For years, the owners suffered while working with the manager, E1, and E2. Finally, the owners had enough and did not renew their contracts anymore.

 For now, the manager, E1, and E2 are on the lookout for possible endorsements. Have they learned their lesson, or will they continue to command astronomical fees and demands? The lack of endorsements can affect the visibility of any talent. Without enough visibility, talents can be forgotten. Soon, the fame and the box-office reputation will fade, and money will not be as much. What can sustain all these? Humility and a positive attitude towards work.

As they say, fame can be toxic, it can turn young upstarts into monsters in no time.

Lacking Respect and Professionalism

Image courtesy of www.pixelenthusiast.com

This story is about a fashion stylist. But first, let us define what a fashion stylist is. From Wiki, it says:

"A Fashion Stylist is the job title of someone who selects the clothing for published editorial features, print or television advertising campaigns, music videos, concert performances, and any public appearances made by celebrities, models or other public figures. Stylists are often part of a creative team assembled by the client, collaborating with the fashion designer, photographer/director, hair stylist and makeup artist to put together a particular look or theme for the specific project."

That plus a handsome fee make fashion styling such a cool and glamorous job, isn't it? Now, let us go back to our story.

This well-connected fashion stylist FS asked a top designer TD to send some clothes to her to be used by a popular endorser PE for a shoot in one of her big endorsements. FS told TD that if PE would like some pieces she would definitely buy them. Days after, the clothes were returned to him and FS said that not one were worn by PE. That was fine with TD and no questions were asked. But few weeks after that, TD was shocked to see a new billboard of PE wearing the exact dress he sent them for the shoot. What angered him more was that the dress was maliciously photoshopped to alter its original color. But any designer will always recognize his work even if it is just the collar or the sleeves that are shown. TD immediately confronted FS for deceiving him and only after he ranted was he paid for his clothes.

Just Posing with Her New Beau?

Who is the mystery guy posing so closely with comedian actress (CA)? Has CA finally moved on from her previous relationship? CA deserves to be happy after there was so much expectation from the relationship with her former boyfriend (FB). Then, within a few months, their relationship just ended. No one really knows why they called it quits. One camp said the family of FB did not like her. Another said FB was too demanding. Still, another camp said FB was a brat.

As to any confirmation or denial, we'll wait. (I'm placing my bet on the denial, by the way.)

His Gusty Behavior

Image courtesy of www.funnyjunk.com

Actor Host AH's latest tv commercial (tvc) shoot was "hell" --- from the words of the production team and the agency that handled it. He was such a pain that shoot was delayed many times and costs had built up as a result. AH refused to say some lines - key lines at that. Many were surprised for this sudden behavior. They asked for the script beforehand, hence, AH was supposed to have reviewed it already after it was forwarded to them. So why did he voice out his many objections when he was already at the shoot? People surmised that it was a smart, calculated move from his end so that he would clinch the project first, then complain later. 

During the shoot, he had a lot of resistance to the agency's and director's ideas. There were so many things AH didn't want to do. On top of that, he refused to discuss his concerns with the production team, opting instead to send his stylist and make-up artist to negotiate for him. He also came with a HUGE entourage who consumed and finished off the food that were not meant for them. After a take, AH would already rush to his dressing room even if the director had not released him yet. Everything was so bad that the budget's shortfall was already piling up.

Until how long will AH test and stretch people's patience who work with him? Had fame and fortune totally consumed him? Doesn't he know that  all these will boomerang on him in the future? AH is smart and old enough to know the answers.
