She’s Turning Over a New Leaf

Image courtesy of www.blogaaholic.com

At the peak of her career, versatile actress VA savored everything she had - fame, money, endorsements, movies, colorful lovelife, and legions of fans who were willing to defend her at all costs. As age caught up with her, she succumbed to the domestic life and raised her children. Once in a while, she would appear on television which was welcomed by her fans and the curious public. However, the downtrend in local cinema and many changes in her personal life affected her career. Eventually, VA went into hiatus, and the public thought she was going the way of great Hollywood legends like a Garbo.

But that wasn't so, her rare appearances were really the result of the low ratings of her tv and movie projects, bad habits, and domestic problems. VA has been beset with all sorts of rumors, the most recent one tested her character because the issue raised public awareness against her. Still, she was VA, and the industry opened its doors for her.

As for the public, the reaction to her projects is quite ambivalent. While her recent movie broke box office records, her next one was a disappoinment at the tills.

At one point, the networks gambled on her. She had good materials but the public did not bite and the ratings suffered. Soon, rumors that she was being difficult to work with were circulating. And now with a career that is not as bankable and hounded by negative image, VA is said to be doing the rounds of the networks asking for projects to at least help pay her bills. Some networks could not afford the risk and turned down feelers from her camp. Finally, she was down to the last network. VA allegedly said that a lower talent fee would not matter as long as she has work. The network gave in and offered her a project on one condition: if she gets difficult again during tapings, her character will be immediately vanished.

Will this new project pave the way for VA to reclaim her lost glory? Will the public give her a second chance? Very soon, we will know the answers.

Misguided Miss

If she does not watch out, this pretty daughter PD might just add up to the rising statistics of teenage pregnancies in the country. PD has one of controversial parents in the social scene. Though she chooses to be quiet in her own world, it just can't be helped that she is also written about because of her relations. Anyway, since she was born into affluence, she has acquired the flamboyance and expensive tastes of her parents, particularly her mother. Young as she is, PD is already into expensive things, branded stuff and luxurious travels, with or without her parents in tow. Needless to say, she goes to an expensive school as well.

In school, she is treated just like an ordinary student, as is wont in most multi-cultural schools. So ordinary that PD probably thinks no one would mind whatever she does inside the campus. But oh how mistaken she is. Because only recently, she was seen doing a heavy PDA (public display of affection) inside the campus. Apparently, the young miss has a relationship with someone enrolled in the same school. For one so young, that was such a major concern. Even older people get unwelcome stares when seen doing it publicly. How much more for a girl like her, and within school premises at that?

Maybe it's about time that the busy parents get to stop for a while, take a break, and smell the flowers with their daughter. Don't you think so?

The Vindictive Actress

Pretty star PS and charming actress CA had a controversial feud in the past. While CA had forgotten about it and moved on, PS obviously hasn't. She just can't get enough and has been moving heaven and earth to get back at CA. PS intensely lobbied for her management to give her a tv project opposite a hunk actor HA who is rumored to be secretly in a relationship with CA. Not long after, a tv series was conceived according to PS' terms: she and HA as the lead stars. In PS' mind, having a project with HA gives her a big advantage - the opportunity to bond and be "friendly" with HA, who is also her crush. Apparently, her move is a well-thought out plan deeply rooted from her hatred towards CA.

You might ask: Just how scheming PS can be?

One of those included in the tv series' final casting was a recently- awarded actor A1, who was already briefed about the requirements of his character through his manager. But all of a sudden his manager got word that A1 was already scrapped from the cast. The reason? PS said she doesn't feel comfortable working with him. That really surprised A1 since he and PS had already done two tv series in the past after they broke up as sweethearts years ago. Soon after, A1 learned that another actor, A2 was belatedly included (or inserted?) in the cast. A2 happens to be the current bf of PS.

Just goes to show how PS can be capable of calling the shots as she wishes. Makes one wonder where is her power over her management coming from as she can easily influence major project decisions just like that. PS can be charming with anyone if she wants to. But she is also fearless and ruthless. Time and again, she knows what she wants and gets it. As to how she succeeds in this scheme will depend a great deal on how well she plays her cards on her management who just can't seem to say no to her. Hmmm, do we smell something fishy here?

On PS rift with CA, will she successfully charm HA to make him forget CA as planned? PS is probably thinking: there are many ways to skin a cat, oh well. But what about her current beau A2? How long can he take everything PS will throw his way?

Do you know all the characters mentioned? Make sure your guesses are as deep as the plot of this interesting story. Good luck!

Arrogant Director

Image courtesy of www.todayandtomorrow.net

When the proud director (PD) was starting out, he managed a string of hits in the box office that he declared himself as an heir apparent to a well-acclaimed director. This declaration was not well taken by the industry people and he was branded as too assuming. After all, he was very young then, while the well-acclaimed director had already directed some of best movies, now considered classics, in Philippine cinema. Some actually criticized how PD dared to compare himself with the said director when he had yet to direct an epic movie. However, since there were not enough skilled and talented directors during his time, he did his work and continued his box-office draw. In fairness, he did some good movies but he still has yet to direct a movie that would be critically-acclaimed like a Brocka or a Bernal.

Years later, PD had established his name and has directed the movies that launched the careers of some of today’s stars. He also ventured into directing telenovelas and he managed to pull through difficult and monumental dramas. Then, he joined the bandwagon and moved on to another network. Other than directing, he was given new tasks in the new network and had more exposure as well.

Despite the years, however, PD still continued with his effrontery. A few weeks ago, PD got hysterical and berated a network insider (NI) when something did not go his way. There was a delay in his salary and he blew his top at NI who was not even in charge of disbursing his salary. PD allegedly called NI b*b* during a taping and complained why he did not know anything when he is supposed to be holding a position. NI, however, kept his cool and did not engage PD in a shouting match. NI simply replied, “Hindi kami b*b*.” Hence, taping was unduly delayed because of his hysterics.

Well, although it was supposed to be a good movie, his most recent directorial job did not do well at the box office.
