The Recurring Love Triangle

This actor was the apple of this network executive’s eye when he moved from the competing network. His career in his network jump started thanks to the unwavering backing of his powerful benefactor. As time went by, the actor got himself romantically involved with a reality star. I am not sure though if he was really in love with her or he just used her to cover up the rumors about him and his benefactor. Based on what I know, the relationship was short-lived and was culminated by a rumored violent confrontation overseas where the reality star brought up the issues about the benefactor.

Sadly, at the time when he broke up with the reality star, he was dumbfounded when he discovered that he was no longer the flavor of the month of the network executive. He eventually lost his benefactor to a multi-awarded actor which led to the slowdown of his showbiz career. This is also the reason behind the bountiful projects of this multi-awarded actor in this network.

The slipped opportunity the actor had with the network executive has always haunted him. To this day, he regrets that he did not do enough to win back his benefactor from the multi-awarded actor. This recurring issue is also the apparent reason why his relationship with this other reality star girlfriend had to end. The news recently made mention about a third party being the reason for their break up. What it failed to mention is that while the actor was dating the reality star, he continued to woo his former benefactor.

The Most Eligible Bachelor of Philippine Politics?

After the rumored separation of this politician and his wife, many women have been linked to him for unknown reasons. I can easily enumerate three personalities from different fields who have been rumored to be romantically involved with him.

First on my list is this actress/television personality who filed an annulment from her husband. Although she has denied the issue many times, she was still interviewed on her network’s news program a few days ago about her involvement with this politician. Of course, she denied the rumor again.

Second is this singer who came out of a nasty relationship with a younger actor. If you remember, I named her as The Fictional Star because the people from her camp were the ones who invented the rumor and spread it via text messages to the showbiz reporters. Just like the first girl, she also appeared on TV and denied the rumor.

Unlike the previous two who denied the rumors, the third one did just the opposite. One day, she even invited a few showbiz reporters for food and drinks and announced to them that she is the new girlfriend of this politician. She is not an actress nor a singer, but a public servant whose husband passed away a year or so ago.

Let me assure the readers of Fashion PULIS that all these three women were never romantically involved with this politician. I happen to personally know his non-showbiz girlfriend who is beautiful, sexy, intelligent, charming and vivacious (said like a true friend)! He may seemed to be the most eligible bachelor in Philippine politics but let me tell you that he is not so available after all.

Penshoppe's Shoot with Ed Westwick

Guess where FP was this afternoon? I was invited to Penshoppe's exclusive photo shoot with Ed Westwick in a hotel in Makati. Thank you very much to Alex Mendoza and his Penshoppe team.

Letter from a Reader: Steam Room Action with a Guest Celebrity

Image courtesy of www.hedonism.wordpress.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

Ever since I discovered this gym close to where I live in Timog opened last year, I started going there more often. I'm no stranger to the cruising hanky panky scene in the gym’s locker room and I won’t deny that I have participated in some of them. Since this gym is close to the big networks, I often see actors in the locker room. They're pretty careful not to get themselves in any tabloid headlines so at most, I just get to see them change their shirts in the locker room (Masaya pa rin!).

One weekend, when I was at this gym, I was seated in the cramped steam room with two other guys. The guy in the middle was really cute, a teenager under 20, with puppy-dog eyes, weird sideburns and a light coat of hair on his chest. I recognized the other guy as a frequent cruiser in the gym and I knew he was looking for fun too. After a couple of playful glances later from the regular cruiser, the cute teenager in the middle was tenting in his towel (you know what I mean)! To cut the long story short, the regular cruiser and I ended up doing the act in the steam room, with the teenager in the middle watching us with his undivided attention.

I was supposed to leave it to dumb luck that a hot teenager was willing to play dirty with two normal-looking guys, but I saw him again after taking a shower so I tried asking for his number but he politely declined. Every now and then, I would see him alone at the gym working out. One day, he started going to the gym with another hot teenager who looked about his age. I do not mean to be judgemental but it seemed to me that something was going on between the two of them.

Just two days ago, I was watching TV and behold, I was shocked to see the cute teenager playing the support role in a telecommunications commercial. I did my research and found out that he is not just an unknown commercial model but he is an up and coming talent of a major network! He has a couple of soaps, an indie film, an apparel endorsement and other teenybopper gigs. I Goggled further and saw photos of him with the other hot teenager he went to the gym with. Apparently, he is a student of UP Diliman with a private school education and comes from a well-off family

Side note: How I wish he would come out in the open. After all, there are really many good looking gay men who are confident about their sexuality. He could really become a good role model for younger gay kids. (Am I being a Anti-P?)

That's pretty much it, I just needed to share this story with you. Love the blog, entertaining as hell!

XOXO
Gold Jimboy

Spotted: Chuck Bass in Manila with the Real Queen B

They say PROHIBITION never stood a chance against exhibition. And no matter how long you try to be good, you can't keep a BAD girl down.

Once again the Queen has proven - anything you can do, she can do better. And she's BACK!

I Left My Heart in NYC

Last April, this actor and his actress girlfriend met up in New York City for their network’s U.S. concert tour. When work was finally over and the actor had free time to enjoy the city, he opted to hang out with some hot guys instead of his actress girl friend. His refusal to spend quality time with her in the Big Apple made her realized that she will never be able to change him. She entered into the relationship hoping that she will be able to reform him but the New York City incident was the last straw. She was also very frustrated that all throughout their relationship, he never attempted to be intimate with her because according to him, his religion prohibits him from having pre-marital sex with her. Right there and then in the City that Never Sleeps, the two of them finally decided that it was best for them to put their relationship to rest.

This story might come as a surprise to some of you who recently saw the two of them interviewing each other on a showbiz oriented talk show. I just do not know if you were keen to observe that after their interview, an acknowledgment of the brand that the two of them are endorsing immediately followed it. In short, the two of them were just pretending to be sweet to each other on air because they were obligated to do so.

Who Cut the Train?

This internationally-renowned veteran fashion designer borrowed an antique wedding gown from the grandson of a former president. It was the gown that his deceased mom wore when she got married. The gown had an extraordinarily long and exquisite antique embroidered train.

One day, this owner wanted his mother’s wedding gown back so he got in touch with the designer who borrowed it. He was appalled when he heard that the designer told him that he misplaced his mother’s antique wedding gown. He could not believe how this designer could have misplaced a bulky and heavy wedding gown with a super long train.

Years later, the designer got in touch with him one day and informed him that he finally found his mother’s missing wedding gown. When the gown was delivered to him, he got the shock of his life. He discovered that half of the antique embroidered train was already gone.

The same wedding gown was borrowed to be the centrepiece of an exhibit in a museum. It was displayed on a platform that showed the actual length of the gown's train. Thanks to the veteran designer, the visitors of the exhibit only got to appreciate the antique wedding gown with half of its original train.

Change of Heart

Image courtesy of www.ctwcstore.com

During the shooting of this film, a team of expert Filipino hair and make-up stylist was selected by the producers to create three different looks for each of the four leading actresses. Out of the four actresses, one of them insisted on using her preferred Indonesian hair and make-up stylist. The producers gave in to her demand despite the fact that this will mean extra cost for them.

While the Filipino stylists were busy doing the finishing touches for the third and final look of the three actresses, the Indonesian stylist suddenly approached them asking for directions. He was not able to get a clear response from anyone so he went back to the actress who hired him. A few minutes later, the flustered actress started bugging the Filipino stylists for assistance but all of them were just too busy to entertain her. Did she suddenly have a change of heart when she realized that her Indonesian stylist could not keep up with the Filipino stylists?

This incident showed that the Indonesian stylist did not do his homework prior to the shoot. Being the actress' chosen one, the producers expected him to perform better than the stylists they chose. At the end of the shoot, everyone in the production team agreed that the Filipino stylists have done a way better job compared to the Indonesian stylist.

In another instance, when the same actress was invited by a leading magazine for a photo shoot, the creative director/editor was very disappointed when she again insisted on using her Indonesian stylist. He was so frustrated that his vision for the shoot could not be executed accordingly by the actress' stylist.

You Know You Love Him: Ed Westwick is Penshoppe's New Lead Endorser

The new face of the Philippines’ leading fashion brand PENSHOPPE is none other than international star ED WESTWICK, better known the world over as Chuck Bass, an overly confident and sexy bad boy, in the popular television series "Gossip Girl," from Josh Schwartz ("The O.C."), based on the tremendously popular book series about privileged teenagers who attend an elite private school in New York City.

The announcement was recently confirmed by PENSHOPPE Brand Director Alex Mendoza stating that, “the selection of (Westwick) was for the British-born actor to headline the brand’s 2011/12 campaign in the Philippines as well as to introduce a fresh new face that will represent PENSHOPPE’s new and revitalized image,” he explained. “We believe it is time to appoint someone on an international scale. It’s time to show everyone that PENSHOPPE is upgrading itself to international levels. Someone like Ed fits the mindset and is admired by our market.”

Since the introduction of his bad boy character Chuck Bass in the popular series Gossip Girl in 2007, his alter ego has made a unique style impression that has since landed him in magazine covers as well as a style copied by men the world over.

“On its 25th year, PENSHOPPE is proud to have actor Ed Westwick as our headliner. His presence and charisma will definitely wake the Philippines to the fact that what is originally Philippine made can also be worn proudly by a worldwide icon as well as people around the world.”

Ed is set to fly to Manila first week of June to shoot the campaign with Australian fashion photographer Darren Tieste in cooperation with international publicity firm PR Asia Worldwide. The actor will endorse PENSHOPPE’s pre-Holiday 2011 to Summer 2012 collection. Mendoza shares, “Ed will embody the free and easy, sophisticated casual style that the brand is known for.”
