Poll: What is Cristine Reyes Doing?

Getting Bizarre Again

The process of taping a drama series is not an easy task for it involves various stages and tens of people. When a drama series is conceptualized, the director and his staff have to put the idea of the writers to come alive onscreen. The wardrobe people plan what the characters will wear. The light and sound crews make sure the equipment are all working. The assistant director (or someone else) outlines the scenes, location, and actors needed. Therefore, any problems, such as the weather, can ruin the schedule of all these people.

A few days ago, the taping of a drama series was packed up and it was not because of the bad weather. Rather, the cause of the non-shooting was the refusal of the lead actress (LA) to enter the location of their shoot. LA was already in the vicinity of the taping as the production people already saw her van. The makeup people did not worry about LA because at times, she refused to have herself fixed. She can prepare herself for what her role demands. Yet, some people can be mean by saying that LA refuses to wear makeup because her face cannot hold it.

The crew had already prepared the location, which was somewhere south of the Manila and where the weather was cooler. They waited for LA to step down from the van. Their wait was futile. LA refused to budge. She did not want to get out of her van. Instead of convincing LA harder, the production team conceded to her demand and packed up the taping.

While LA is known for her obnoxious ways, she actually has a caring personality for the some sectors of the community. However, when the taping was packed up because of her whimsical reasoning, LA forgot that her being a prima donna at that moment affected not just her schedule but also the commitments of her co-stars. LA also forgot that some crew members are paid on a daily basis, and that the location owner gets some remuneration.

The question is what made LA uncomfortable with the chosen location. Did it bring about significant memories that she did not want to remember?

Disappointing Observation of The Actor's Behavior

Image courtesy of www.dollypics.com

When tall actor (TA) was starting out, he caught the public eye because he was the best-looking in his batch. But when it came to acting talent, he was not as good compared to the other members. Yet, he was doing several projects. Rumors floated that it was so because he was the pet of an influential executive of the network. Eventually, owing to the network's proper handling of him, TA became a household name in no time.

Other than acting, TA evolved - he formed his own band, ventured into businesses, fell in love, and almost transferred to a rival network. Sadly, TA's band did not reach as much fame as the other bands which were popular in the late 90's. Most people dismissed it as just TA's pastime and did not take his singing seriously. TA tried his hand in restaurant business, among others. But the economic situation and other problems at that time led to its dismal failure.

As for his colorful loves of his life, his relationships were always highly publicized. Through the years, TA got involved in a questionable wedding ceremony with a pretty actress, announced publicly that he was going to marry a young model, and clammed up when asked about his puzzling relationship with a controversial host/actress. Sometime ago, TA was even about to move to a rival station, and the supposed new home already prepared his role in a Korean telenovela adaptation. However, a heart-to-heart talk with his mentor made him stay. TA improved in his acting and even got recognized by a couple of prestigious award-giving bodies.

For many years, TA had both successfully and unsuccesfully reinvented himself so that he will forever remain in the public's consciousness. He spearheaded different advocacies and established foundations. These activities were again publicized, thus had ultimately created a very positive image for TA. In fact, it was floated that he might be a candidate for an international magazine’s Person of the Year award as a matter of course. Alas, a story is now circulating that TA has been very delinquent in his duties as head of his foundation. It was such a big let-down for people around him to know of his many shortcomings. Among others, he has yet to pay the salaries of the people running his foundation. Then, another complaint said that TA is hardly available for the activities related to it, but will only be around if the media were to cover. Does TA's behavior prove a very telling suspicion all along that he is just using his advocacy to add good points and further his sinking popularity? Well, perhaps, TA may have good intentions, too. Yet, as it is, you and I know that running a foundation such as his requires more than just good intentions. What is your take?

Can you identify who TA 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.

The cliché states that behind every successful man is a woman. In showbiz lingo, the saying takes a different turn, because truth be told: behind the success of an actor is a powerful gay executive or manager. In the case of this prized official (PO) of a network, most of the talents he handled got very good breaks. That was always a given. From a mere nobody, PO can transform any actor into the hottest talent in the industry. His latest and current "project" is an emerging talent (ET), who has appeared in the major series of the network. ET is definitely gaining more recognition than he did with his previous management.

A few weeks ago, a high level executive (HE) of said network fumed when she learned that PO was conspicuously absent in the network's story conferences. The presence of PO is very crucial in any  meetings because he handles all the major series/telenovelas of the network. Therefore his absence is definitely unwelcome, as he has to be on call to answer for all the major decision-making required. Besides, results of said meetings were to be presented in a big network event a few days after. Apparently, PO left the country without asking permission from his superiors. He joined ET in the Middle East for the network's promotional tour. PO had already been lined up ET in two major projects in the most coveted timeslots of the network.

Also, PO was not alone in the tour, as his close friend (CF), a former talent manager, joined him, too. Before PO got fatally attracted to ET, he was responsible for transforming a non-mainstream actor (NA) into a huge household name that he is today. PO now had to relegate NA because ET is younger, and well, not as “soft” as NA. Thus it was CF who took care of NA. What caught the ire of HE was her finding out that the room assignments had PO and ET in one room, while CF and NA were together in another room. It appeared as if the foursome where on a honeymoon.

HE can only express her disbelief that PO is turning out to be the personal assistant of ET. Unfortunately, HE can only get mad and disgusted, period. She can not really reprimand PO as much as she does her other subordinates. For PO is not considered as a “demi-goddess “ for the network’s soap operas for nothing. If PO leaves, the network's programming will definitely suffer in a big way. HE knew that this incident was not isolated, as it was not the first time that PO left his work to be with ET. The question is: until when will PO's fondness for ET last? The other talents who were previously handled by PO are no longer as popular as the time when PO had them under his loving care. These talents have grown old, lost their hunky appeal, and moved on. Perhaps, ET believes that it is but natural for him to take advantage of every opportunity that lands on his lap. For it is true that since it knocks but once, he might as well hit the ground running, and laugh all the way to the bank. Only and only, while he still savors the perks of being PO's current and favorite flavor.

Getting Ridiculed Publicly

A few days ago, a big event in a beauty contest was marred by an almost controversial walk out of the reigning beauty queen (RB). RB already had walked out, but was stopped by the head project holder (PH) of the event. PH convinced RB to stay on and finish her task.

The story is that RB, being the current local representative, was part of the board of judges for the afternoon’s event. Feeling her current reign, RB expected royal treatment from the organizers. So, she stayed in her room and waited for a call for her to come down to the venue. She kept waiting. There was no call. A few hours later, she decided to go down to the venue herself. The moment she was seen, one of the staff (OS) screamed at RB and gave a litany of her coming late. RB reasoned out that she was just waiting in her room expecting to be called but no one called for her. Furthermore, RB said that OS can talk to her nicely without being screaming at. OS was still fuming. RB, then moved to the judges were seated, OS screamed further and told RB that she could not judge anymore because there was no more seat for her..

RB, feeling so embarrassed at the way OS treated her, walked away and was so very upset that she almost cried. When PH learned that RB was walking out, she took the responsibility of talking to her. RB went back as though nothing happened. While RB kept her poise and silence of the situation, a family member leaked and ranted to the media what transpired.

From their research, OS allegedly was a former staff member of the other beauty contest, which was in direct competition with RB’s. Hence, some concluded that OS was mean to RB because of her former affiliation. Some commented that since RB knew that she was judging, then she should have had enough sense to come down earlier and not wait for a call (as she reasoned out). Remember, RB won in a contest of beauty, not a contest of minds.

Can you identify who RB 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.
