The 24K Saga

Real friendships in showbiz can be quite a challenge to wish for. Everyone is competitive and aspiring for the same goal as anyone. The new famous can be quite gullible and fall victim to the manipulative veterans. In the long run, as players learn to interact with each other, the system slowly gets processed in the minds of the nouveau. Therefore, maintaining friendships in showbiz requires tact, creativity and foresight - depending on one’s intention.
Wasn’t it just years ago when controversial personality CP and media celebrity MC were friends so close that they even had a show together? Both had much in common, supported each others’ advocacies and covered each other’s backs, so to speak – at least in the eyes of the public.
However, even the closest of relationships clash, and theirs was not spared. Family pressures and personal interests got in the way to what was once a seeming sisterly love between them.
MC’s close loved one LO had a career path that was seriously and carefully planned for years. It was to be his life’s milestone and family legacy laid down pat. LO’s plans was public knowledge. MC’s support for LO was beyond question and CP supported it. And why not? Both MC and CP were part of that endeavor, too: CP’s family member FM and LO were partners.
But as fate would have it, something major came up with CP’s family that prompted her and FM to make monumental decision. The decision that gravely affected and jeopardized LO’s cherished plan and career trajectory. What was supposed to be like an exciting ballgame suddenly went pfft – kaput - nada.
Most people say CP’s shrewed and opportunistic nature were in the active mode, and allegedly used it to her and her family’s advantage. As a consequence, CP and MC relations soured big time – with MC having more axe to grind for CP’s alleged “betrayal.” Their falling out went from bad to worse, as CP tried to show no remorse at all that further aggravated MC’s wounded feelings.
Needless to say, CP’s insensitivity and apathy complicated their feud. Their friends could only shake their heads and thought the two were getting more irreconcilable by the day. CP even went overboard by making friends with tv host TH, MC’s decades-long nemesis. TH became CP’s constant companion along with other network stars in her out of town missions.
When MC took a leave from work to help in LO’s mission, TH became her replacement. After the duration of her leave, MC tried to return to where she left off, but things were made difficult for her to do so. Their department head DH was more inclined in keeping TH there. Insider talks ‘though alleged that CP had a hand in it.
Finally, MC’s trouble eased when DH resigned and was replaced by a friendlier colleague FC, who eventually eased out TH from MC’s work and relegated somewhere else. MC got her work back with a vengeance, so to speak. The show had a grand makeover, as if heralding her return.
As if fate was playing tricks, amid career highs, CP’s personal life suffered setbacks one after another, such that the biggest blow besmirched her reputation that necessitated her to appear on MC’s show. Understandably, CP specifically requested for another media man MM to interview her, and not MC. Intentionally or not, MC tried to downplay all the brouhaha and dismissed everything as an ordinary news item. Thus the expected impact got lost on CP.
Surely the spectacle of that interview paled in comparison to something that was unseen but felt at that very moment. At that point, MC can rightfully claim that she, among everyone, had the last laugh.

Question: Is Marian Rivera Going to be the Next Kapatid?
Image courtesy of Facebook: Marian Rivera fan page
Marian’s contract with GMA will expire in September this year, and from all indications, there’s likelihood that a renewal is not forthcoming. There are talks going around that a major shift is in the horizon. From very reliable sources, Marian's new manager is negotiating with TV5 for a cool 120Million package for a 3-year period. Marian is reportedly very keen on the idea.
Note that to this day, Marian remains very close to her former boss, Wilma Galvante, GMA’s Senior VP for Entertainment and now TV5’s current Head of Entertainment Division. Mr. Tuviera whose TAPE Productions also produces Eat Bulaga aired over GMA has siblings who have transferred to TV5 and are now producing shows there. Marian's favorite director, Mac Alejandre is also with TV5.
All signs factored in, is it safe to conclude that Marian’s transfer to TV5 is becoming more and more imminent by the day?
It was reported that Marian is very excited with all the fresh developments coming her way ever since she made that major management leap. Her excitement is even more highlighted by her joining the world of social media - finally!
Marian who is now a proud Instagram account holder with user name "thereal marian" is thrilled to do her thing in the photo-sharing network - her first ever social-networking account.
Are we about to see some “signing” photos soon? Que sera sera.

Letter from a Reader: Her Asking Price

Allow me to share with you my personal sentiments as an avid fan of a once innocent and wholesome celebrity that I knew back then.
I have always been fascinated with this famous actress FA ever since I saw her first few movies as a child star. Her innocent beauty was a sight to behold even then. Through the years I saw her transformation slowly blossomed before the public, with her acting talent noticeably getting polished. Her management sure did a good job bringing her to where she is now.
She was a work in progress, slowly but surely climbing her way to the top. Through the years, the smart and ambitious girl in her learned the ropes, the most basic of trade secrets in the industry, cutting corners and the like. Her successful movies in the box office are sure fire signs that she really has what it takes to be in this industry. Hard work, luck and destiny seemed to conspire to bring her to stardom. Lucky girl.
But as a fan, I’m slowly getting to be disillusioned by FA’s recent antics. I thought her enviable fame and fortune would have humbled and tamed her. I know I’m not alone in this - of late, FA’s antics, her many indecent photos, outfits and scandals all scream public attention to herself. Why? Seems nothing can make her content because she’s always hungry for attention.
Now, more and more I am inclined to discourage a niece of mine who also happens to be FA’s big fan, not to be so into FA anymore as a role model . What is there to get inspired by anyway? FA is often acting delusional that she can always get away with anything because we allow her to. For me, she has lost that appeal for the young to emulate.
Because of my deep or probably blind admiration for her in the past, I chose to forget some very nasty things I knew about FA back then when she wasn’t yet that popular - as told to me by an eyewitness friend EF of mine who was privy to FA’s past.
EF worked for a top businessman who had several foreign clients and associates coming in and out of the country for regular meetings and business stuff. Needless to say that after the heavy stuff, came “fun and entertainment,” too. Being new in the job then, EF was shocked to be so casually summoned by her boss to contact a certain person to follow up on the invitation for FA to be with his business associates, most of whom were Chinese, for an entertainment that night.
Although completely stunned and dumbfounded, EF tried to restrain herself and went on with the process. That night at a specified venue, while the meeting was still on- going, somebody came into the room and announced that FA had arrived - ironically earlier than her call time. And not long after, right at the door, my friend EF saw FA in the flesh, scantily dressed and smiling at those old dirty old men who all looked like vultures waiting to devour her.
Her asking fee? P1M /pax/ night.
A few more of these encounters here and abroad, EF had enough and had since left the job.

Are the Ladies Really Gravely Addicted to His Moves?
Image courtesy of www.123rf.com
All things being equal, the man who is more physically attractive gets to have more perks in almost any situation – they are more desired, get paid more, higher self-esteem - like it or not, beauty connotes positivity.
It's not just about being tall, dark and handsome. There are special 'manly' qualities about guys that can make any woman fall over her knees. And it’s definitely not just about the looks, there's more. It's a surefire mix of both, physical attributes and all that important special touch.
Talented Actor TA's boyish appeal and to-die for cuteness was no doubt his and his alone. TA's fresh as a morning face had sent not a few beautiful women to go crazy, drool and follow him wherever. TA was definitely up on the popularity quotient – anything that moved adored him. He had it all: fame, impeccable confidence, sense of humor, charm. Oh well, this is about throwback of two decades.
So how is TA rating now? Well, he is still the same attractive man despite the years. People young and old still get hyper in his presence. Surprisingly, most of the women in his life haven’t gone out of oblivion. They still are desirable and controversial than ever, two of them very controversial.
TA for all his charm and appeal is not perfect and has “shortcomings” too. But make no mistake, he sure knows how to make up for it in that department. Ever the woman pleaser, TA's memories remain enduring to his many exes. He maybe publicly displaying love and affection towards his wife, but he knows how to have fun, too.
From among many, TA has a list of unforgettables as well. He and this younger award winning actress YA had an episode while working on a project as well as this other beautiful older actress OA. Both women are said to have gone mad over TA – and vice versa.
Indeed, some good things never last … to this day.

When Sweet Roses Paint Betrayal
Image courtesy of www.bubblews.com
Not
so young hunk actor HA started in the entertainment business for many
years now, beginning as just one of those sex symbols undressing his
sexy leading ladies on screen while baring those wavy muscles before the
admiring public. Through the years he has shown admirable talent apart
from just being physically endowed.
His
huge fans and followers alike swooned over him especially during the
height of his popularity. He was fortunate enough to be handled by the
most competent and brilliant of directors who honed his talent and
starred him in projects that slowly showcased his marvelous
transformation as a serious actor.
Being young, sexy and in-demand, HA was of course desired and fantasized by girls and gays alike. And HA seems to be cool and accepting of just about anything never allowing anything to limit him – including gay propositions. One of his early benefactors was a well-known businessman BM. HA and BM who were together for many years were mutually in love with each other with the generous BM spoiling HA with everything HA fancied.

HA and BM who were together for many years were mutually in love with each other with the generous BM spoiling HA with everything HA fancied.
But
some good things never last, as the cliché goes – and off they parted
ways amicably. The adventurer HA went hopping from one relationship to
another whoever gets his fancy. Inspite that HA’s not that young
anymore, he remains to be irresistible. HA willingly obliged to be the
latest conquest of a controversial scion of showbiz royalty:
Jane-came-lately JC, who also happens to be one of BM’s “amigas,” -
something that didn’t sit well with BM.
Although
feeling hurt and betrayed by JC, BM couldn’t care less anymore even and
especially so that the wandering HA has hopped once more to a new
benefactor – a quiet and unassuming director DR, another offspring from a
conservative showbiz family.

Jodi Sta Maria's New Love
As if taking a cue from her daytime kilig-serye “Be Careful with My Heart” character, Maya, who aspires to be a flight stewardess, Jodi Sta. Maria has just recently discovered her new love: Traveling. “As much as possible, kung kaya, gusto ko sana every 2 months nakakalabas ng country, or if not naman out of the country, sa loob ng bansa,” Jodi shares. She finds it more worthwhile to spend on travel than to shop for designer shoes and bags. She takes her son, Thirdy, along with her travels, too, so he will grow up culturally educated. “Traveling is a wonderful experience to know and learn more about other countries' culture,” she says.
For her travel essentials, she admits “'Di pwedeng 'di ko bitbit ang Gluta-C products because I use the lotion everyday. Pati ung soap and toner. Kahit tingnan 'nyo pa yung travel bag ko!” Her personal favorite is the Gluta-C Intense Whitening Lotion with SPF 25 because it feels light, provides sun protection and is easily absorbed by the skin.
Jodi has been the beautiful face and body of the whitening skincare line, Gluta-C, for years now. In her recent endorsement shoot for the brand, she excitedly raved about Gluta-C's latest products – the Gluta-C Underarm and Bikini Gel and Gluta-C Body Scrub, “I really use them. And I don't endorse products na 'di ko naman ginagamit.” No wonder, celebrity make-up artist Juan Sarte found it so easy to enhance Jodi's effortlessly-radiant look. It was a breeze, too, for sought-after hairstylist Brent Sales and celebrity photographer Raymund Isaac to bring to life the concepts.
There is no doubt that Jodi Sta Maria will reach new places and heights with the rate her career is soaring. It feels like a lifetime ago since Jodi first graced our TV screens during her Tabing Ilog days but it's as if she has not changed a bit – still looking so young and radiant. And the secret to this? Jodi shares, “Looking young is something that comes from within. So, if you have peace and you're happy, it will radiate.”
