Ungraceful Gallops

Image courtesy of www.graffitine.com

In one of the concerts of this host comedian (H), the audience did what was expected. They laughed at his corny jokes and did not mind the repetition. H was able to entertain the audience as usual. Then, the production staff started to sense that H was going to do something different just before the closing number. He insisted on performing a song that was not in the guide flow of the show. Hence, it would affect the coherence of the program. H said he told someone in the production earlier that he wanted to sing a song for his grandmother. Of course, the production people doubted this excuse. They knew he was just being hardheaded and wanted to get his way done. Much to their dismay, H got his way this time.

In another incident, just before the taping of his show, H started vomiting and complained that he was not feeling well. H asked to be rushed to the hospital and the taping was packed up because of his “sickness.” The production team was very upset because the setup cost almost one million and the show had already scheduled a guest artist. One of the higher ups decided to investigate secretly. H has a reputation of going on a gimmick on the eve of a workday and disregarding the call time for his daily show. The investigation revealed that H was indeed out the whole night before the taping. Now, the head wants H to shoulder the cost of the wastage of the resources caused by his irresponsible absence.

It’s not all the time that H can ride into the sunset. Do you know who he 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.

Eccentric Behavior

Image courtesy of www.city-data.com

In a concert, music icon (M) and girlfriend (G) were spotted in a corner getting physical with one another. M noticed that cameras were pointed at them. He requested the camera people not to show on TV any footage of him and G. M said he did not want other people to know who was with him in the concert. The people found this strange because he and G are publicly acknowledged as a couple. However, they were too chummy that night and onlookers had comments, such as “get a room.” Another angle has it that M is also seeing a fashion personality (P). P has denied any involvement with M but she is known for making denials, anyway. 

Do you know who M, G and P are? 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.

Letter from a Reader: Fierce and Fashionable?

Image courtesy of www.diytrade.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am a regular reader of your blog. I find your blog a "complete package" as it is not just about showbiz stuff, but you also write about inspiring stories of ordinary people. And there's social responsibility, too, as you also address consumers' rights by providing them space in your blog. If only for that, I thank you, Fashion Pulis.

Anyway, I would like to relay to you a story about an American clothing retailer in the Philippines (AR) with several branches worldwide. I came to realize that its Philippine branch seems to be duping its local clientelle.

My teenage kids and I are regular shoppers at AR. Aside from the shop's cool interior, we also like the trendy and hip designs of its varied collections. Although prices may not really be cheap, but the thought that we're buying quality is enough to justify the cost. As they say - quality has a price.

But lately, we are often disappointed to find out that quality ceases to be AR's major turn-on anymore. Slowly we are getting suspicious of their products. To be honest about it, we did our own investigation to satisfy our curiosity and disgust. And lo and behold, what did we find out?

Some of AR's merchandise are not originally made in USA. For one, we found out that some of its fashion accessories are just copied/outsourced from a major local retailer, stamped with AR's name and then sold at double, and more often, triple the price. What a big let-down!

The (mal)practice is real. But if not addressed properly, the damage will even be greater. With competition in the industry getting intense, this is the last thing that AR needs. As they say in business - it takes years to build a good reputation, but only minutes to ruin it.

Yours truly,
A. Salvador

Watch Your Back

Image Courtesy of www.istockphoto.com

Some reporters went on a set-visit. One reporter (R1) saw a friend (R2) in the set and shouted, “Bakla!” to call the attention of his fellow Becky. Coincidentally, this singer (S), who is rumoured to be in the closet, was walking towards another reporter when R1 hollered. R2 looked at where R1 was and to their surprise, even S turned around. When S realized what he did, he glared at R1.

Incidentally, S and a good-looking talent (G), whose tagline includes the city where he grew up, are getting along well. S is so into G that he allows G to bring his straight friends to make their meetings look like a group gimmick. Hence, anyone who sees them would think it is nothing more than an innocent boys’ night out. However, only after everyone has left, does the real date begin. As to where S and G go for their private moment, we can only surmise.

However, there’s more to this. S is still involved with someone who works in an airline (A). It seems that S is dating G on the side. Moreover, there is already some suspicion that S brings G to the house A maintains.

No wonder S can really hit those high notes! Do you know who he is? How about G? 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.

Forgetting His Lines

 Image courtesy of www.clker.com 


This endorser (E) is proud that he is the current image model of the latest product line of a fast food chain. What makes him prouder is that he even sang the jingle of the TV commercial. During the press launch of the TVC, E was asked to sing the jingle. E left the audience speechless because he lip-synched his song! The sad part was that many noticed that E was mouthing off incorrect lyrics. Some were feeling pain in watching E because other than his inability to master the song, the owners of the country’s franchise were in the audience. It was not the best time for E to embarrass himself because people in the industry know that the franchise owner is musically gifted.

After the incident, the audience hoped that E would be better prepared in his next events. He cannot survive in the business only out of his cuteness factor.

Can you guess the identity of E? 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.

Over Exposed or Merely Exhausted?

 Image courtesy of www.aperfectworld.org

Media entertainer (ME) staged her concert in a city down south. The venue was jampacked as ME commands a following these days. The audience noticed that one of the guests, a veteran impersonator had longer exposure than ME. When ME said that her song was the last, the audience was disappointed and had the gut feeling that there seemed to be more.

After the concert, some of the viewers felt shortchanged as they were expecting to give her best just like in her Manila concert. Then, some of them learned that ME still had three songs left but she had to cut it because she was already very tired and was afraid she might bore the audience.

ME must really be exhausted as she is seen on TV every day giving her all. She is also emerging to be the most in demand endorser. Sadly, her detractors say she is already overexposed. Nonetheless, ME has to pay for what her fame now demands even if it means going beyond her talent but she should never ever shortchange her audience.

Do you know who ME 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.

Protecting Her Image

Image courtesy of www.wwfnepal.org

Did network executive (NE) already ask help from her talent management to calm down singer actress (SA)? Since the past weeks, SA went ballistic over a social networking site. She even went as far as pointing the blame to a specific group responsible for the tirades in her account. 

The disappointing behavior of SA alarmed NE and the network because her behavior might ruin her image, create a negative response from the advertisers, and not attract enough support for her upcoming show. However, SA seems to be familiar with the angle that the specific group is indeed maintained by a certain idol. The said specific group works as a hate brigade and in the process, makes the idol look pitiful, hence gaining more sympathy for him.

Do you who NE and SA are? 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.

Letter from a Reader: The Nosy and Noisy Fan

Image courtesy of www.readyornot-newyear.blogspot.com

Dear FP,

I am one of those quiet readers of your blog and often I wonder where you get your sources. However, more than the stories, what I like are the views of your readers. Anyways, I would like to narrate an incident I personally witnessed while in the MRT last week. It was around 8pm and I was on my way to Makati.

These two girls boarded the train at Quezon Ave. My attention was caught because one of them was speaking very loudly. Apparently, both of them came from a network taping. Girl 1 was talking about how she went to several tapings; her “Ate T” was taping for her fantaserye; how a certain PA left this celebrity so this celeb and her sis had to carry their bags; how another personality had to change her “panty” during a taping (Girl 2 was quiet all the time until she corrected Girl 1 to say “underwear”); how some fans of Ate T got held-up and lost their BBs while on their way somewhere, among others. Girl 1 even said she attended the taping of a talk show of the sis of her Ate T. That was when I finally figured out who she was talking about.

I wanted to shut her up but the crowd got thicker and I did not want to leave my seat. Despite the distance and the crowd between us, I could still hear that fan yapping. My thoughts were full of pity for the celebrity who was being talked about one of her fans in such a public place with so many people hearing even if they do not want to. I only wanted to share this experience to let your readers from the different networks know how certain fans behave publicly (and then they question the credibility of your BIs).

Thank you.

A Crumbling Relationship

Image courtesy of www.boobookittyfuck.deviantart.com

The breakup of sexy actress (SA) and actor dancer (AD) created a stir because people thought their relationship was very strong. In fact, their public declaration of their relationship last year undeniably hurt the secret ex-girlfriend of AD. Early this year, both were alleged to have gotten married abroad but both denied that story.

Now, SA and AD broke up because of how SA is behaving with her hunk leading man (LM). AD is jealous of the sweetness SA shares with LM, not to mention that SA and LM have love scenes in their TV project. However, people are saying that AD has no reason to be jealous of LM; rather SA should feel threatened in case LM sets his eyes on AD.

Another angle is that this is all a publicity gimmick to generate interest in the teleserye through SA. After all, LM, who has suffered in silence since late last year, has become aloof with the media. Everyone knows that LM will still be bombarded with questions regarding his controversy instead of his projects. SA, meanwhile, has had her share of controversies so she can very well stand up to questions regarding her relationship with AD.

Do you know who SA, AD and LM are? 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.

Must be Excited

                               
Which reality show discovery posted this photo in his social network account and deleted it immediately? He must have been quite excited that he forgot he has an image to protect and a network that has built his image as the boy next door. Will his network allow him to come out as a soon-to-be father? Or will the network use its resources to cover up this joyous event? Will he fight for the truth and celebrate the fact that he will soon have a child?

Major Clash of the Beauty Queens

Image Courtesy of www.nicemode.webs.com

Beauty Queen 1 (Q1) will have an online talk show that will be launched soon. On taping day, Q1 was supposed to stay only until 600 pm but she had to wait for Beauty Queen 2 (Q2). Initially, Q2 did not want to go because she did not like the PA of the show and even said that she will not go because of that PA. However, Q2's attitude peeved the producer, who demanded Q2 to show up because she already agreed to guest.

Q2 arrived late. Upon seeing the set-up, Q2 demanded to sit on the right, which happened to be the place of the host, Q1. Already irritated, Q1 said that she will not move because they have already taped several episodes and Q2 is guesting in the latter episode. Q2 responded she will not answer the questions of Q1. In turn, Q1 said she will not ask questions! Q2 then retorted, "I am Ms. -----!" The producer broke the tension and turned to Q2. The producer said that Q1 has already been sitting where Q2 wanted to be and the production was working with multiple cameras anyway.

The attitude of Q2 is so different from the attitude of other reigning beauty queen (Q3) towards Q1. Q3 speaks highly of Q1, even if her position is higher than the latter.

Do you know who Q1, Q2 and Q3 are? 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.

Waiting for the Better Man

Young actress (YS) and young actor (YR) have the most successful love team of their generation. Their partnership has generated a rabid bunch of fans, who are known for threatening other potential partners for YS and YR. Recently, YS and YR have gone separate ways in their acting assignments and love life. Their TV and movie assignments allowed them to meet possible love interests in reel and real life.

YR found his love interest in a very popular performer (P). In contrast, YS accidentally found herself in a new love team with new actor (N). The YS-N love team has generated its own share of fans. Then, another young hunk (H) is bent on pursuing YS but she just could not stand his smelly feet.

At present, YS is not interested in N or H. According to YS, her next boyfriend has to be even better than YR. As to what "better" means, your guess is as good as mine.

Do you know who YS, YR, P, N and H are? 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.

Beware of Kidnappers

Image courtesy of www.ragingbullfootwear.com

Yesterday afternoon, my wife, son and Yaya went to buy some groceries at a supermarket in Sucat and while my wife was lining up to pay, Yaya and my son went to the “Funhouse” arcade near the food court. While my son was playing with a video game, a suspicious bald man, around 5’10”, with medium built and decent clothing approached yaya and was instructing her to give a piece of paper to my wife and leave my son with him. Yaya refused to follow his instruction so he insisted by bribing her with money. She continued to refuse with a louder voice which drew attention so the man walked away.
She immediately told my wife what happened and when they were about to go home, they saw him exiting the supermarket. Before they could point him out, he got into his car and drove away.

We reported the incident and they allowed us to view their surveillance cams. There we clearly saw that from the time yaya and my son entered the arcade, the man kept following them at a certain distance. Before he approached them, he made a phone call and started to converse with yaya.

Please take extra caution when you’re out with your children. Always keep them close where you can see them…no matter where you are. Beware of kidnappers!

Tardy Again

 Image Courtesy of www.quailsaver.blogspot.com 
                          
Nice actor (NA) made a major booboo in his official social networking site. He posted the wrong date for the opening day of his movie. In fairness to him, he (or whoever is in charge of his official account) immediately posted the correction (but did not erase the previous one). However, what has been catching attention is that NA has been coming late to events recently. In a major event for one of his biggest appearances, he came an hour late. Is NA too busy these days that he has such lapses? NA should start moving faster than usual so he can truly live up to his latest nickname.

Do you know who NA 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.

Warning to All Tourists Travelling with Kids

Image courtesy of www.everywheremag.com

FP was sent a story of how a mother lost her two kids while in an amusement park in Hong Kong recently.

“The mother left her two kids to go to the washroom alone while she waited for them outside. When she realized that the kids seemed to be taking a long time, she went inside to look for them but the kids were not in the washroom anymore. The parents went to the police afterwards and the police told them that it is highly likely that they will never see their kids again.

There is a syndicate in HK abducting kids in the washroom. They would let the kids smell something that would make them unconscious. Then they will shave their heads, put a cap on them, and change their clothes. When, the kids are brought out of the washroom, the parents would not notice them."

This story is not uncommon in the place as documented in some sites. Some kids are kidnapped and sold, while others are made into beggars. The syndicate does not discriminate; hence tourists with kids are also at risk. The lesson here is that parents or guardians should never leave their kids alone even for a second in any place on the island.

Here is a link that documents some of these incidents:

More Questions Than Answers

Image courtesy of www.westhavenbob.blogspot.com

How true is the buzz that balikbayan celebrity (C) was indeed paid a very substantial interview fee by a network? The original network, which wanted to interview C, turned down the idea when C asked for almost a million. By this time, more questions were generated by the interview of C.

First, the publicity said the male host will be conducting the interview. It turned out that a guest female host (FH) did the interview. Did the brother of C have a hand in this? The other hosts were disappointed that FH conducted the interview even if she was just a guest host during the show. Second, why was the interview geared towards an interest as to whether C had completed the reassignment? At least, C was smart enough to say that whatever is in between the legs is a private matter.

If you watched the interview over the weekend, do you think the interview of C was worth it or did it smell of gimmickry for the survival of the show?

Letter from a Reader: Repeatedly Ignored

Image courtesy of www.badideatshirts.com 

Dear FP,

I've been using my prepaid number since 1999. I've kept this number because it's easy to memorize. Even if my family and friends have changed their mobile numbers many times, they still know my number by heart. But with the disappointing turn of events lately, I'm starting to have a change of mind.

My dilemma started last week of February. I was in the NAIA Airport last February 25 for my flight to New York. I registered for international roaming and got a confirmation. When I arrived in the US, my phone could not pick up any signal. I've been trying to do manual signal connection for days but to no avail. So I tweeted the customer service to raise my concern and they were able to address my issue and connected me to international roaming.

I came back March 12, 11 PM. Upon arriving in Manila, I deactivated my international roaming. I got a confirmation from that it was deactivated. Then, I immediately registered to avail of the one week free calls and text. The response says they cannot accomodate my request and I have to check this certain plan that is for postpaid account.

March 13. I tried connecting the whole day but still the same response. I called the hotline for support but told me just to try it again and again because the current promo might have high volume of users. I also tweeted the customer service and sent them a DM but got no response.

March 14. I got a reply from the customer after 25 hours. I gave my mobile number and they told me that I will be given feedback within 24 hours. I called the hotline again and they told me that a report was submitted for my concern.

March 15. I tweeted the customer service. My tweets were ignored. I called the hotline and told me that their maximum time for resolution is 2 days.

March 16. I tweeted the customer service but still ignored. I called the hotline and told me that they will escalate my issue to their supervisor to prioritize my issue.

March 17. I tweeted and sent a DM to the customer service but my tweets and DMs were ignored. Called the hotline and still no feedback on my issue from their support team. Promised to escalate the issue.

March 18. Tweet and DM ignored by the customer service. Agent from hotline still promised to prioritize my issue.

It's so frustrating that they have been ignoring my tweets and DM. I just hate that they say they will resolve the issue within 2 days but never even gave me a feedback. The least they could do is to acknowledge or give a few words about the issue. I may be a prepaid user but I have been using this for 13 years already.

Thanks FP.

Yours,
J. Rivera

The Confession That Will Never Be Heard

Image Courtesy of www.connect.redesignme.com 

Recently, media personality (MP) staged a public proposal to his new girlfriend. His followers were surprised as they were more familiar with his long-term relationship with another woman. While MP and the bride to be are happy with the engagement, there is a sad story behind this. In the course of their relationship, he got her pregnant but the would-have-been first child was never born. The reason was that she was still young and studying then.

MP gained fame for giving advice to his listeners and confessions of his listeners. He did some appearances in other media but his followers could not generate the needed ratings to sustain a daily show.

GMA Network's Response to PFF Statement About Arnold Clavio

Below is the official response from GMA Network to the statement of the Philippine Football Federation about Arnold Clavio:


Kamakailan, inireklamo ng sexual harassment ang dalawang miyembro ng Philippine Azkals ni dating Philippine Olympic Committee President Cristy Ramos, anak ni dating Pangulong Ramos.

Nitong Martes, napag-usapan po sa Unang Hirit ang sexual harassment complaint ni Cristy Ramos laban sa dalawang miyembro ng Azkals kung saan nagbigay ang ilang hosts ng kani-kanilang opinyon.

Kahapon, nakatanggap ang GMA Network ng liham mula sa Philippine Football Federation o PFF kung saan inireklamo ang mga komentaryo nina Arnold Clavio at Rhea Santos sa kanilang programa.

Nais po linawin ng GMA Network na ang mga inirereklamong pahayag ay hindi bahagi ng aming news reporting kung saan tanging mga statement of facts ang ibinabalita at kung saan walang puwang ang pagbibigay ng opinyon ng mga host. Ang mga inireklamong pahayag ay unscripted discussion ng Unang Hirit hosts sa commentary segment ng programa kung saan sila ay nagpalitan ng opinyon at nagbigay ng kani-kanilang pananaw tungkol sa naturang issue.

Nalulungkot po ang GMA Network na iba ang naging intindi ng Philippine Football Federation sa mga sinabi ni Arnold. Ang pinapatungkulan ni Arnold ay hindi kung Filipino citizen o kung may lahing Pilipino ang mga Azkals kundi kung naisapuso at naisaisip ba nila ang kulturang Pinoy.

Ang issue na tinalakay sa Unang Hirit ay sexual harassment—isang mahalagang issue kung saan matindi ang paninindigan ng mga host. Meron pong karapatan sina Arnold, Rhea at iba pang host na ihayag ang kanilang opinyon, isang karapatang pinoprotektahan ng ating Saligang Batas. Sang-ayon man kami o hindi sa kanilang opinyon, ang karapatan nilang ihayag ito ay kinikilala ng GMA Network tulad ng aming pagrespeto sa karapatan ng publiko at maging ng PFF na maghayag ng kanilang opinyon—basta ang nasabing opinyon ay hindi labag sa batas.

Sa liham ng Philippine Football Federation, sinabi nilang racist, discriminatory, libelous at malicious ang mga pahayag nina Arnold Clavio at Rhea Santos. Pero ang GMA Network po, walang nakitang racist, walang discriminatory, walang libelous at walang malicious sa mga komentaryo nina Arnold at Rhea.

Official statement of Arnold Clavio on the Azkals issue:

GMA News anchor Arnold Clavio responds to criticisms about the recent remarks he made about the sexual harassment case currently faced by some members of the Philippine Azkals:

Mga igan, nakakalungkot na may negatibong reaksyon ang naging pahayag ko tungkol sa Philippine Azkals kaugnay ng sexual harassment complaint ni Ms. Cristy Ramos. Wala po akong ganoong intensyon. Ang isyu po rito ay sexual harassment at kung may nagamit man po akong mga salita na hindi angkop, nagpapakumbaba po ako at humihingi ng pang-unawa. Dun naman po sa mga kasama kong nanindigan laban sa sexual harassment, maraming salamat po. Seryoso pong isyu ito na dapat bantayan.

-Arnold Clavio

Getting Attention

Image Courtesy of www.cartoonstock.com 
One of the networks chose to build up this young performer (P) as its prime star. P was given the lead in highly-publicized TV projects with the best casts the network can afford. Even if P had drama assignments, she still did comedy and hosting jobs for the network. Even if her shows did not do well, P still kept her privileged position. She felt she was the princess of the network and she behaved like one.

Other than the “princess” attitude getting into her head, P has a reputation of seeking attention and wanting to be the center of events. If she does not like who she’s working with, P makes it a point to let that person feel her discomfort. For instance, a staff was handing her an invitation. While the staff stood in front of her, she asked a barrage of questions, such as if she really needed that invitation for her entry to the event. In the end, P embarrassed the staff, whose job was merely to deliver the invitation.

While working on a soap, P often arrived late on the set. When asked why she was late, she said rudely that she went to a coffee shop first. Then, she would take her time before stepping out of her car as she still had to put on make-up. The lack of professionalism on P’s part did not escape the attention of a respected actress (RA), who played a significant role in the said soap. What infuriated RA was the fact that P made them wait for two hours on the set. RA gave P a mouthful and ranted that she (P) was just a newcomer who had no right to make anyone wait and that she should learn respect. The incident with RA rattled P to a point that she was uncomfortable on the set. Worse, she wanted her character to be killed off, which was quite impossible because she was playing the lead role.

Do you know who P and RA are? 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.

Open for Booking

This muscled model turned occasional actor (MM) has a sideline. MM is available for bookings for US$400. The catch is – he does it in the US. In Manila, MM models and appears in TV and movies. In print or onramp, he is a favorite model for underwear. He has acted in a couple of movies and appeared in a reality show, among others. MM hardly has promo pictures showing him fully clothed (except when he was part of a wholesome fantasy teleserye).

Do you know who MM 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.
