Being True

Beautiful Actress (B) was seen touchy feely with a woman in one of the Technohubs. Sometime ago, B was in a long-term relationship with a former male host of a defunct morning program. However, even prior to entering showbiz, B was already rumored to be involved with a lesbian, while residing up north. B was even rumored to be extra close with a young singer who is now happily married. Incidentally, B was also spotted with a lesbian while doing her groceries at an exclusive supermarket recently.

Is B back to her true self after all these years? 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.

Publicly Bizarre

Most times, we hear of the phrase, "what you see is what you get." Loosely translated, it means that what is seen physically is a telling of the character behind that persona.

Many issues have been hurled against this model/tv personality (MP): public scandal, personal hygiene, attitude, among others - -- name it, she most probably got into it.

MP is a head-turner whenever she's doing events and hosting on tv. But definitely not when she is off-camera. Some people recount their encounters with her many times -- and often, stories don't just paint a negative picture of her, but also put her in shameful scandals that are just too big to ignore.

Scene 1: At a mall, she was seen with a gay companion (or P.A.). Looking at her, one could hardly believe it was MP: old slip-ons on dirty feet, soiled shirts and shorts, disheveled hair, and worst of all - her face that looked unwashed! That sight of her was such that she looked a lot worse than her P.A. .

Just how MP can afford to look that way in public is something only she can understand. And her actions were no different either - she was talking so loud as if her companion was hearing-impaired.

Scene 2: Very recently, at a posh bar south of metro, MP had a chance encounter with an ex-lesbian lover (EL). It was obvious that they had a bad break up because they fought that very night. It led to serious physical attack when EL tried to strangle MP. Such a scary spectacle before the very shocked public, as MP did not budge in and fought back with all her might while exchanging invectives with EL.

Who is MP? Is she guilty of all allegations? What do the people under the organization she heads have to say about this? 

Self-destructing 101 - Stubbornness and Conceit

In showbiz, the name of the game is survival. If you want to survive in this jungle, there are two things - reinvention and right attitude.

An almost iconic singer/actress (SA) doesn't seem to realize this. Stubbornness has definitely brought her to the sunset of her career - 'though to this day, she's still in big denial.

Talks have it that her over-publicized but also over-delayed talk show has now suddenly slipped from a daily to a weekly show.

Two long-planned movies, each co-starring her with two of showbiz's most handsome faces (A1 and A2), have been turned down by both actors. It didn't help that A1 was SA's once beloved ex. Heard from the grapevine - that both drama actors have same reasons for their refusal: that doing a movie with SA is tantamount to committing a big career suicide.

Adding to her woes is that endorsements are now hardly coming by. Gone are the days when she used to lord it over everyone in advertising products, gaining her the title Queen of Commercials for many, many years. But now, even if one comes along, endorsement deals are not as sweet as they used to be. She is, to put it bluntly at the lowest point of her career.

It is pretty obvious that her new management team and network seem to be of no help to resurrect her once powerful status.

But showbiz insiders say that even the best talent management can only do so much. If talent becomes a monster who has a mind of her own, no magic will work.

SA's latest blunder on social networking ethics was her one big mistake. She was just unstoppable, and wouldn't take heed. The public was so pissed with her behavior. For months, she put herself up for ridicule from a lot of people - fans, friends and foes alike.

What seems to be SA's problem? Is it psychological? Or is it the size of her ego growing bigger than her weight can handle?

Before this host (H) goes full blast on her latest program, she opted to go abroad and ride the waves of a Pacific island. On the same plane going to the vacation spot, another passenger (P) was on his way to the show of the network on the same island. Imagine their surprise (and perhaps, the other passengers who recognized them) when they found themselves within seeing distance from each other in the business class.

Throughout the whole flight, neither said a word, not even a “Hi!” was exchanged. P totally ignored H and there was no indication that he even acknowledged her presence. Both behaved like strangers regardless of the past they shared. 

Is P still hurting from what H did? Was it mere coincidence that they were both on the same flight? Was H hopeful that she would be able to make peace with him while they were abroad and away from the press? However, H did not visit P in the show anymore even if others anticipated her presence.

Do you know who H 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.
