Lacking Good Manners

Popular tv host (PT) got noticed in the industry because of her versatility as an emcee and facility with several languages. Whenever her former network FN needed someone to interview foreign artists, she would be tapped to do the job. Eventually, PT became a familiar face and was given segments in several television shows. She gained quite a solid following during her stint in FN.

However, PT’s career got entangled in some controversies. She was dragged into a mess with her former co-host such that the truth behind the controversy branched out into several versions. The same thing happened to her love life. At one point, PT hogged the limelight when she was singled out and added to the long list of women linked to a popular personality. Then, like a flash in the pan -- it just  fizzled out -- everything was over in a matter of months. No one even bothered to check what caused the break up.

Rumors have it that PT does not really have that kind of sweet image she projects on screen. Some people assert that she can be really difficult to work with and can get on people’s nerves at times. She was like that ever since, such that it was not that hard for FN to let her go. When a rival network RN made an offer to hire her, FN did not make a counter-offer to match that of RN's. Consequently, PT made a quiet move to RN.

In her new network, her diva attitude is starting to unleash. A member of the production (MP) had a first-hand experience with her once. MP remembered the time when she had accidentally touched PT's hair that had already been styled. PT fumed right away and reprimanded MP. She told her sarcastically not to touch her hair again as it was already fixed.

In another incident, PT was interviewed by a segment producer. After the interview, the segment producer, as a gesture of thanks and goodbye, made an attempt to kiss her ala "beso." PT stood up and received the kiss but tried to avoid the other person's face from touching hers. Huh?

Indeed, allegations like PT is difficult to work with, doesn't care and has no respect for the staff and people lower in rank than her are mounting by the day.

Sorry, I'm Busy!

The word amnesia is a term used in showbiz to refer to stars who have trouble remembering names/faces of colleagues, especially those of media people. Often those accused with amnesia are newcomers, which is quite understandable. Other stars deliberately do it towards some reporters expecting that they get written, no matter how negatively - which to them is still publicity no matter what. And still, there are some stars who are just too busy with left and right commitments that they don't know anymore what is going on in their own industry especially of people and events.

Our subject is a Talented Singer TS1 who was a guest in a concert of a Fellow Talented Singer TS2. Backstage at the dressing room, TS1 was just chilling out and busy with her cellphone. Unknown to her, a Network Executive NE was just nearby looking at her. Being a fan, NE approached TS1 and requested her if she could sign her poster that NE would give to her niece. TS1's reply shocked her, "Pwedeng mamaya na lang? May ginagawa pa ako e!"

Actually, there was nothing to get busy with at that time as she was just fidgetting with her cellphone. NE who was obviously embarrassed, quietly went back to her seat. A few minutes after, TS2 came in and was pleasantly surprised and flattered that NE, her network boss was there for her. She hugged and kissed NE, and introduced her to TS1. TS1 was so shocked, couldn't even look at NE in the eye. Perhaps thinking of making amends, TS1 approached NE and cheerfully said, "Picture po tayo." But NE looking uninterested, politely turned down the gesture.

His Unbreakable Habit

Image courtesy of www.imdb.com

This talented actor TA comes from a well-off family. TA made women swoon during his peak some years ago. He was a hunk, and a no-nonsense actor as well. For some reasons, he got himself entangled in many issues and controversies in the past. Reasons why TA had been lacking in projects for years. And perhaps because of these, he had also become ill- focused even on his own life. From people's observation, he seemed to be direction-less. Some of is colleagues in showbiz hardly take him seriously. Until he got himself to be managed by a talent agency. But sadly, he has yet to be given projects at this point. Meanwhile, TA continues with his usual kind of fun - girls G and oh, even transwomen TW (male at birth, usually have undergone physical changes/medical transition to conform to being a woman).

He gets these G 's and TW's not by association with pimps. All he does is conspicuously park his car at the back of an old, once popular and controversial building within the business district. TA is already a very familiar face among the "players" there, in street lingo, he is "suki." As soon as he parks his black vehicle, these girls will already position themselves. One by one, they will approach TA's car. Usually, he would take a long, hard look at each prospect. If he likes her, there would be no questions asked. TS would open his car and immediately leave the place to head off somewhere for more privacy. There is a particular condo near the area where TA goes to as hideout/venue for all his tryists.

This seems to be TA's challenge ever since: how to break free from this old habit.

Poll: Did she say Czechoslovakia?

"Miss Earth 2012 Teresa Fajksova is getting her sights on educating her own people first when it comes to environmental issues.

Teresa, who represents Czechoslovakia, bested 79 other international delegates for the Miss Earth crown. She admits her native country has a long way to go in terms of environmental consciousness.

The beauty queen shares that she was surprised by the number of recycle bins in Manila, which they lack in Czech Republic. She is also pushing for the use of solar energy.

Teresa hopes her reign can bring in the change her country needs when it comes to caring more for the environment."

Spotted: Kissing in the Parking Area

Is handsome actor (HB) trying to build a playboy image? After his failed relationships, came a story of his closeness with a staunch actress (SA) in the same network. They were linked after they did a project overseas. Despite HB and SA being single, and the network playing up the story, the public was not interested. The story of having some relationship growing between HB and SA seemed to lack certain believability.

A few nights ago, HB was spotted with sprightly actress (AS) after a recent event for a charitable cause. Initially, AS was seen stopping a sports car in the parking lot. An eyewitness thought the driver might have been a former relation of AS. However, when the window rolled down, HB was in the driver’s seat. Then, AS entered the car and gave HB a very passionate kiss.

In the said event, HB was a prime mover, while AS was one of the guest performers. Did AS take advantage of kissing one hunk at that moment? Well, being known to be a gentleman, HB did not stop AS from kissing him. Perhaps, this was his way of thanking SA for participating in the event. On hindsight, the kissing might have been harmless anyway.

Since the kissing was done in a not so private area, one cannot help but think if this behavior of HB and AS could be a publicity stunt to improve his image. Well, that idea would be sad considering that both SA and AS, who happen to be close friends, will be used in the process.
