A Secret Affair, A Secret Deal
Image courtesy of. www.slavicabogdanov.com
Sometime ago, a Popular Singer and actress PS was almost engaged to be married to her non-showbiz Boyfriend BF of many years. But sadly, and to everyone's shock, all those years just ended up in splitsville. No reason was given.
After the split, PS continued with her showbiz career, and BF with his. Not long after, BF who worked somewhere decided to stay in town for good and was reported to be exploring on a new path -- to head a showbiz enterprise. Not a few eyebrows were raised, questioning his fitness to embark on something that's such a far cry from his professional training.
Back to the present. The gossip mill has been on fire for days with a Star's TS damaging expose on her unsettled grievances versus the people she had trusted. Her word against theirs. Public was treated to a buffet of dizzying versions of the scandal. Everyone had seen the surface. But has anyone tried to scratch the bottom? Let us see.
Mrs. Career Woman MC who is close to showbiz powerful is allegedly "involved" with the now married BF who heads the enterprise. BF now does good business with MC who helps him ink transactions through her big connections. But their business dealings have been stepping on not a few toes who bear the brunt of being dislodged from their comfort zones the moment they try to question MC and BF. The scheme allegedly had been grossly disadvantageous to the people involved such that those who could not stand the heat, chose to get out of the kitchen before they get burned. But the rest -- the "no choice" ones, just grin and bear it.
But not the one stubborn antagonist SA whose many interests are in grave conflict with both MC's and BF's. SA who is the principal author of the major chaos within the organization, had allegedly secretly manipulated everything by conveniently using a "dummy" to expose and shame MC and BF -- while she watched. The astute SA who has her own gigantic family issue as well, tried to soften the blow by focusing on the affairs and dealings of MC and BF. How clever!
And TS, the gullible dummy, who is like a basketball dribbled back and forth, is the one most heavily wounded in this spectacle. Will she be able to bounce back after the game? We will watch.

Will This News Set His Direction?
Image courtesy of www.everydayadventure11.blogspot.com
Fresh off the source is the news that a young character actor (CA) is going to be a Daddy soon! While CA is a total package to make it big - looks, talent, and intensity, he is without a doubt always a magnet for scandals and intrigues. Notwithstanding, being hounded by talks of bad habits that had thwarted his career's positive trajectory. Many good opportunities that were supposed to land beautifully on his lap were lost in the process. His entry into showbiz was met with a big welcome owing to the fact that he comes from a family of thespians, who also answers to the label showbiz royalty. He did deliver in the beginning but as time went by, he allegedly fell into the habit that had greatly affected his performance and the family's professional image.
Now that talks are rife that he will be a father in a few months, will CA take his career more seriously this time and steer it into the right direction? Hopefully, he will be able to catch up with all the lost opportunities. It is never too late. Incidentally, CA has gone through a lot with the future mother (FM) of his child. Allegedly, FM was the one who got in the way of a network’s prized actress during an out of town taping, and was even threatened by the possibility that CA would drop her in favor of another actress who is now happily in the arms of a famous non-showbiz personality.
Hopefully, the arrival of his baby will bring more sense and direction into his life.

Spotted: Out on a Lightning Date?
Is all not well on the domestic fronts? Having a drink or two and sashimi were formerly controversial actor (FC) and forever disputable performer (FD). Although both have current love interests, a non-showbiz woman and a talented low profile actor for FC and FD, respectively, one cannot help but wonder why they are together, and without their respective partners.
Since FC bolted out of the network, this year seems to have started better for him. His picture is so visible along the major street of the metro, and his action teleserye is now moving. Meanwhile, FD's last soap did not pull in the expected ratings, and people pointed to the negative publicity of her disrespectful attitude as one of the factors for the lacklustre interest in her.
Are FC and FD establishing ties and finding comfort with each other? Is FD asking for superhero tips as rumors have it that she might play a heroine? Has FC fallen for the reputation of FD and vice versa? Will FD’s network use this “meeting” for publicity for FD knowing that there seems to be a silent ban on FC's presence? Worse, will her network reprimand FD on dating FC? Let’s wait…

Could it be her Karma?
Image courtesy of www.hiyamedia.blogspot.com
Lady 1 (L1) and Lady 2 (L2) were both products of different talent searches. Lady 3 (L3) was network homegrown, belonging to one of showbiz's industry pillars. Unlike L1, L2, and L3, L4 started as a child actress, and remained loyal to her network.
Initially, L1 and L2 were close buddies because they both came from the south and shared a common mother tongue. They bonded together and shared the deepest of secrets. Sometime ago, Hunk A (HA) came into the picture. HA must have been smitten with L2 that he kept inviting her out on a date. L2 was flattered by the attention but kept refusing HA's advances as she knew he was in a relationship with L4 at that time. However, owing to HA's charm and persistence, L2 was won over in due time. They finally had a romantic dinner date. L4 the cat, who must have been out of the country at that time, didn't know that HA the mouse would play around.
Like a giddy schoolgirl, L2 told L1 what happened and that HA was sort of courting her. L1 advised her not to fall for him out of respect for L4. Fortunately, L2 listened to L1, and both agreed to keep it a secret between them. Later on, L1, L3, and L4 were with each other’s company, and had fun time together during a network tour abroad. Suddenly, for unknown reasons, L1 spilled the beans on L2 and told L4 their secret!
As soon as they got back to the country, enraged L4 immediately called and confronted L2, and a verbal tussle ensued. L2 would not let L4 get her way, and she,too,retaliated. Soon after, L2 was on the phone confronting L1 for betraying her, not keeping their pact about the secret. It got worse such that L1, L3, and L4 ganged up versus L2, who bravely stood her ground.
Fast forward…enter Hunk B (HB). L1 used to be in a kind of secret relationship with HB which they belatedly admitted only after they broke up. HB moved on and got linked to several showbiz and non-showbiz females. Meanwhile, L1 got linked to her current screen partner (SP). L3 however has the most colorful lovelife among them. Lately, the rumor mill is abuzz that L3 and HB are together. Nothing wrong as others are wont to say since both are single. However, L1 is reacting, feeling that L3 betrayed her.
Observers think that L1 and L3 are merely doing this as a publicity stunt to gain interest in their show. Yet, some believe that L1 is still not over HB. While L3 does not exactly appear “saintly” as far as her relationships are concerned, L1 is projecting an underdog image -- that one who got betrayed. Well, can someone please remind her the day she, too, betrayed L2?
Karma may not happen instantly, but when it does, it hits you like a thief!

The Last Goodbye
What everyone thought was an everlasting love between Controversial Star CS and Handsome Hunk HH turned out to be not for keeps after all. Their love story had been controversial from the very beginning. The high-strung CS regarded HH very well and loved him for his simple and quiet demeanor. Their "miles apart" personalities complimented and worked for them.
The very patient HH learned to accept and lived with their differences, and loved her no matter what, in spite of. After all, they have survived many relationship crises successfully, and have fought for each other amidst all the ugly rumors. But as they say, "Some good things never last." Then one day, they realized they were no longer each other's "other half."
The decision to convert their relationship status from lovers to friends happened even before the last holiday season. Both were quiet and decided not to make public about the whole thing. But CS confided to a friend, nonetheless, saying that HH and her were totally over, since last year yet...no reasons were given. Which was why people and some staff noticed how CS tried so hard to avoid HH.
But HH still loved her, obviously. At a staff party last year, seeing how drunk CS was, he volunteered to bring her home. Their situation is now breaking his heart. And why not? His world revolved around her for years. And for the young HH, to suddenly forget may not be so easy as it sounds. But if you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you're right.

GMA Network addresses all issues raised by Sarah Lahbati
The Network maintains its stand that Sarah Lahbati violated her contract, as follows:
“Sarah Lahbati’s Artist Management Contract with GMA Network is effective until February 21, 2015. There is no provision for leave of absence in said contract. Any leave is subject to prior agreement between the Network and Sarah. Therefore, Sarah’s unilateral decision to go on leave, despite its earlier disapproval by the Network, is a violation of her contract with the Network. Further, her declared trip to Switzerland for an indefinite period, without the prior consent and approval of the Network, will be an additional violation of her contract.”
“Despite the rejection of her leave, she ceased to honor her commitments with the Network including her being part of the Network’s Sunday variety show Party Pilipinas. Under the provisions of her contract with the Network, specifically Paragraphs 1.3 and 1.4, it is clearly stated that the ‘artist shall perform the role and appear in the television programs, projects and events assigned to her, and conscientiously fulfill faithfully and promptly any and all engagements/booking contracted to her by GMA.’”
Sarah asked to be released from her contract with GMA Artist Center (GMAAC).
It must be clarified that GMAAC has no legal personality apart from the Network, and that Sarah’s contract is with GMA Network and not with GMAAC. In the same way that a contract requires the mutual consent of the two parties, there cannot also be a unilateral cancellation of the contract by Sarah alone.
For any violation of her contract with GMA, Paragraph 5.2 states that “In the event of violation by artist… GMA may, in addition to and without prejudice to any other remedy, recover liquidated damages from artist in the amount equivalent to double artist’s minimum guarantee.”
Regarding the issue of the supposed referral by some Network executives to ICONS Management, the Network reiterates its earlier statement that it did not authorize the co-management contract with ICONS Management. Concrete actions have been taken and penalties have been imposed on the executives who were found liable.
The Network found no proof of her allegation that there was an “under the table” deal between GMAAC and ICONS Management. The Network has a policy of prohibiting and penalizing any such “under the table” deal between any of its executives and employees and others dealing with the Network. This policy is strictly enforced and implemented.
If Sarah can prove later her accusation against ICONS and GMAAC, the Network will not only stop dealing with ICONS but will also penalize those who are guilty of such anomaly.
Sarah also mentioned that non-ICONS talents like her are treated unfairly. The Network’s substantial investment in her easily belies this. On top of her being a home-grown exclusive talent of GMA, whom the Network developed, trained and promoted, she is also one of the Network’s priority stars.
GMA artists like Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, Heart Evangelista, Jennylyn Mercado, and other bigger stars than Sarah who are also non-ICONS talents are not complaining about the treatment they are getting from the Network.
Interestingly, it was after the Network required Sarah to cancel her illegal co-management contract with Royal Era Entertainment & Artist Management of Annabelle Rama, the mother of Sarah’s current boyfriend, Richard Gutierrez, that she unilaterally declared her going on a one-month leave of absence and started to complain about GMAAC. The co-management contract violated the exclusive terms of Sarah’s contract with the Network. GMA Network would have had no choice but to sue Sarah and Royal Era Entertainment for the said breach had they refused to rescind said co-management contract.
Sarah also tweeted that GMA has yet to pay her for the movie “Basement.” “I don't owe GMA any money, in fact they still owe me. I finished filming a movie called Basement under GMA films, we started around August-early sept… until now I still haven't been paid not even a down payment. My mother asked my handler many times regarding the payment and until now there is no reply,” tweets Sarah.
It was made clear to Sarah at the onset that her talent fee will be disbursed after she completes filming. The contract was sent to her in mid-October but she was on vacation and the signed contract was returned to GMA Films only on December 14, 2012. But given the Network’s year-end cut-off for payment processing, requests received after December 10 will only be paid on January 11, 2013. As a special concession, however, the check was made available on January 4, 2013. The delay in the processing of her payment can only be attributed to Sarah because she did not immediately return the signed contract to GMA Films.
Sarah also accused GMA of making a one sided story about what’s happening.
There is absolutely no truth to this. HOT TV, thru its researcher Malou Santiago, contacted Sarah’s handler, Monica Carla Sevillano, who, in turn, coordinated with Sarah to get her side before the story was aired. Unfortunately, HOT TV did not receive any response from Sarah.
GMA Network has concluded its investigation on Sarah’s walk-out incident in the taping of the Network’s new primetime program “Indio.”
Based on the said investigation, Sarah, without any justifiable reason and following only the instructions of Annabelle Rama – whom she had illegally signed up then as her co-manager – walked out of the November 9 taping of “Indio” in Morong Park, Subic, Olongapo City.
In her earlier tweets, Sarah mentioned that “GMA Artist Center decided to book me for opening of EAT BULAGA the following day which required me to be in the studio at 8am to do hair, make-up and rehearse the production number. I never walked out, I told the producers and p.a that I need to go because I still had to travel back to Manila from Subic and be at Eat Bulaga studio by 8AM… I did not leave the set, I waited for the producers to say that I can leave… I had permission to leave. This is the complete truth.”
Upon investigation, however, it was found that GMAAC was not aware of any early morning booking on November 10. As confirmed by its records, the only schedule GMAAC had for Sarah on that day was a technical rehearsal for Party Pilipinas set at 4pm. Further, it was on November 24 – two weeks after the walk-out incident – when she finally appeared in “Eat Bulaga.”
Also based on the Network’s investigation, the production team of “Indio” did not give Sarah the permission to leave early. Contrary to what she mentioned in her tweets, they persuaded her to stay and finish her scenes but to no avail. As a result, the production team was forced to pack up the taping and incur substantial, additional and unnecessary costs.
The Network has endorsed the matter to Belo, Gozon, Elma, Parel, Asuncion and Lucila (BGE Law) for the filing of a complaint against Sarah so that the court may determine who between the parties is correct, telling the truth or lying.
After the complaint is filed in court, the Network will no longer publicly comment on the case except through the pleadings filed in court, in compliance with the rule on “sub-judice”, to avoid influencing the decision the court may render on the case.

Allowing Real-Life Issues to Prevail
Image courtesy of www.hollyriley.com
At the shooting of a movie starring two controversial female leads, FL1 and FL2 seemed to have behind-the-scenes issues. According to the grapevine, FL1 and FL2 were never really drawn to each other, even before and while filming the movie. During the shoot, both were said to be acting like brats. But between the two, it was FL2's behavior which was more tolerable for the crew. FL1 was the brattier, or bitchier one. However, both did not allow their feelings (initially) to get in the way of their project. In short, both FL1 and FL2 were kind of civil to one another.
However, as the shooting progressed - especially during highly emotional scenes, FL1 and FL2's acting were getting more intense with each other -- the cat fight scenes, that is. Some people in the production couldn't help but noticed - that something not nice was going on between the two. Such that in some heavy scenes, it appeared like they were not acting at all. The slapping and hair-pulling scenes looked real that hurt the both of them.
Initially, it was FL2 who noticed that FL1 looked like she was doing it intentionally (or personally) to her, as in FL1 was physically hurting her already. And after each take, even though FL1 knew that FL2 got hurt because of her, she didn't apologize, which irked FL2, naturally.
But the fiery FL2 was not to be outdone. She felt she had to do counter-attack - to make her feel better, at least. So in the succeeding scenes, she went gaga over FL1 in their "cat fight scenes." The verbal and physical encounter were so real that it almost looked like a showdown. But FL1 did just let it pass up, such that she too, retaliated.
Yes, your guess is as good as mine - the drama became a free-for-all. Can you identify them?

Can She be Keeping Her Distance?
Image courtesy of www.screamopost-hardcore.blogspot.com
At a party for a network executive, YS1 and YS2 obviously avoided each other like a plague. YS2 who arrived earlier, did not mingle with YS1 upon seeing her arrived with her close friend and a sister. Even during picture taking, the two were miles apart, such that no picture appeared with the two of them together. Not long after, YS2 decided not to stay long and left the party ahead with a friend.
Some people were trying to figure out what caused the the gap and coldness between YS1 and YS2..which observers said had been that way for several weeks, if not months already. Their close friends only have slight idea and can only say so much. Others say, it was a foregone conclusion. YS1 had grown tired of YS2's presence, S1 felt she's been all too giving and gets abused in the process.
But apart from that, there's actually more than meets the eye. From the grapevine, YS1 doesn't want to gamble with YS2's friendship anymore. YS1 had become very skeptical and suspicious of YS2's motives, the discomfort she felt when YS2 was around. For someone who's been repeatedly abused, YS1 feels it would be foolish to continue any longer. Observers say YS1 must be avoiding far-reaching consequences later on.
Friendship, like marriage, sometimes becomes an endurance test.
