Generating Their Own Interest

With technology and the popularity of social networking, fans are able to create sites to show their appreciation (or the opposite) for the shows they love or for their idols. Some fans even write fan fiction to depict their own views on how stories should run in their favorite tv programs. Some fans create artwork or photo collages in tribute to their idols.
Still, some fans create parallel or parody accounts of famous celebrities. Sadly, these accounts are often ways for anonymous people to release harsh criticism. Of course, some people are gullible enough to believe that the parallel accounts are the real accounts of the celebrities.
However, the most common social network tributes to a performer are fan sites. Fans can be so overwhelmed that they make unauthorized or sometimes with permission accounts designed to help in the career of their objects of affection. These sites update the public on the lives of the stars. As a marketing tool, generating interest via cyberspace or IT is important for this generation of talents and performers.
The problem is what if no fan actually shows interest in making a tribute FB page or even a social network account for a talent. What should talents do? Well, they make their own sites and pass it on as having been made by their fans. Allegedly, two female talents who shuttle from magazine covers to TV/movie appearances have taken matters in their own hands to generate fan interest via the web. Both sites have the same first two words and differ only in the third word in the title of their sites. Thus, FT 1 and FT2 are branded “famewhores” in their ways of achieving their 15 minutes of fame. By the way, FT1 has the “what you see is what you get” attitude, while FT2 seems to be the opposite. FT2 has that meek look in contrast to the dominating look of FT1, but be careful, FT2 has her feisty ways. As we have a saying in Filipino, “nasa loob ang kulo.”

The Reason Behind His Attachment

Television personality (TP) has been with the industry for several decades. Starting with menial jobs, TP worked hard to attain his present status, people from all walks of life look up to him for advice and as a role model. TP is dedicated to his family, career, and advocacy. Thus, it is not a surprise that he is one of the more credible celebrities.
However, it seems that TP has an alleged special relationship with a professional athlete (PA). A teammate who accompanied PA, saw PA and TP hugged and kissed, and afterwards, TP allegedly handed PA cash. This scene is surprising and shocking at the same time. What could be the motive of PA? Can it be money despite that PA is earning big bucks from his chosen field? Could it be love?
PA has a “happy” marriage in the eyes of the public, while TP is involved in a long-time relationship. Is PA just the flavor of the month, or is there really something deeper? Perhaps, TP is just really being compassionate and helpful?
Nothing is surprising in show business, anyway. The question is how the wife of PA will react to this news that she might be sharing her husband with TP. How will her parents react? Can you guess who TP and PA, the wife?

How Deep is Your Love?

When versatile actor (VA) and his manager (HM) went on vacation, HM cleared the schedule of VA of tapings, guestings, or any mall/provincial show. VA, one of the prized actors of his network, has continuously had a hectic schedule with his soaps coming one after the other. Despite his extremely busy schedule, VA still managed to have girlfriends who have given him a roller coaster ride of emotions and controversies.
At this time, VA had a girlfriend (GF), who is also one of the more reliable talents of the network. Of course, it would be everyone’s assumption that their free time would be devoted to each other. Moreover, since VA had a free schedule, it was naturally assumed that he would really be spending quality time with GF as they were still in the early stage of their relationship. Wrong! In the course of fixing the schedule of VA, HM also made sure that GF was busy with the taping of her own soap. Hence, the vacation was the “alone time” of VA and HM.
As they went on tour, VA would snap a photo or two and send it to his social media account. However, none of these photos showed both of them together. Of all his talents, it seems that HM has the deepest affection for VA. When the career of VA was going nowhere, HM helped him become a prized talent, and VA obtained recognition for his acting because of his good roles in various projects. Reciprocating this care from HM, VA had dutifully followed his advice even if it meant sacrificing his love life, including the latest, GF.
Now, VA is keeping his mouth shut regarding anything that has to do with GF. GF, meanwhile, has refused to speak about the incident as well. Naturally, HM would never speak on this matter as any comment on his part might strengthen the speculation that he has a stronger hold on VA than merely being a manager. How deep is his hold on VA anyway?
