Ravenous Workings of the Host

Over the years, the infamous host (IH) has amassed a substantial amount of money, lavish homes, impressive vehicles, etc. First, he has a contract that brings him eight figures per month. In addition, the amount generated by his sponsors goes directly to him. Second, his studio even bumped off a talented star just to accommodate his need for a better location.

However, IH is still not happy - he wants more than what he is getting. His monthly take (not including product sponsorship that is guaranteed for a minimum of three months) is divided equally between him and two executives (E1 and E2). Since his contract is about to end, he wants a substantial increase in his monthly take, and a change in the sharing. IH wants 60%, while E1 and E2 will get 20% each. E1 has agreed to the proposal, but E2 refused. E2 claims that he was responsible for brokering the deal between IH and the current network. Thus, IH and E2 had a falling out and E2 no longer attends the events of IH.

Now, IH is calling the attention of some bigwigs in his network to start fixing his contract. Since a new executive was hired a few months ago, IH is worried that it might not be renewed.

So, what does he do? In his show, he started greeting his former co-hosts, and thus, has given the impression that he is indeed moving out. Well, there is more to that. IH seems to be pursuing and getting    chummy with the higher ups of his former network.

He was seen having a casual conversation with one of the siblings of the owners in a vacation spot down south. The owners of this network do not really interfere with the way things are run in their network, as they believe in their competent management. IH is also trying to gain favour from a powerful network insider (NI).

NI is responsible for the quality of talents that the network has. However, IH has a sworn enemy (SE) in the network. SE is one of the pillars of the production/management team. SE will be a difficult match for IH as both have had a connection that ran deep, and which had hurt SE in the past.

How far will greed go? Will IH leave the network who gave him the chance when he left? Will his former network welcome him back hoping he could topple the other show that has reigned over for decades?

There's an ongoing big rift (again) among family members FM; and this time it really seems like a big explosion is unfolding.

It is within their circles’ knowledge that family member 2 FM2 got romantically involved  with a very much-married  government official GO. In the beginning of their affair,  the unlikely couple tried to brush off and dismiss the rumors by trying not to be seen together. Not being seen together was a challenge given their present circumstances. Yet the “not-so-hidden”  love affair continues uninterrupted to this day right under the nose of GO’s wife. 

Many agree that FM2’s separation from her husband HH was allegedly triggered by GO’s coming into their life. FM2 had been wanting all along to be free from HH but couldn’t find a perfect time to do it. When GO "gatecrashed"  into their home, he was warmly welcomed by FM2, no less. And the rest, as they say, is history. 

When in public, FM2 and GO try to be as discreet as possible. But the public’s roving eyes are everywhere. Hence, trying to conceal their tightly-guarded secret becomes an exercise in futility. When before, people talked about it in hushed tones, even damaging details (ie photos) have been out in the open, with FM3 being pointed to as the culprit. 

Family member 1 FM1 is not exactly pleased as another family member FM4 is being dragged into the brouhaha. The very protective FM1 vowed to use her powers to put FM3 in her place if she won’t shut up. 

FM3 and FM4 will be breathing the same air soon. Let’s see who gets suffocated first.

When celebrities endorse products, other than keeping up to the contract, the highest demand is for the celebrity to be a patron of the product, especially when he/she is in public.

Nowadays, celebrities are technologically adept. As such, part of their packaging is defined by how they conduct themselves in public and virtually in various forms of media. For example, some of them have gained fame and/or notoriety over twitter, instagram, or facebook. Their presence and behavior in these media undeniably help ignite and fuel public interest in them, particularly on what they post on a regular basis.

Celebrity Endorser (CE) is no different as she is very active in interacting with people in both traditional and virtual media. However, unlike most of her colleagues, CE is articulate, credible and sincere - the very requirements to be an effective product endorser.

At present, CE is an endorser of an electronic brand, in particular a gadget which is as famous as its next competitor, but not yet as popular among the hip generation. CE was actively promoting the brand in social media and declaring her pride in being chosen to be part of it and its campaign. Imagine the surprise and dismay of some of her followers when they saw CE using the competitor’s mini product while she was in a high-end mall.

Smart as she is, surely CE knows that acceptable endorser's demeanor in public is the gauge and/or barometer by which she or anyone like her would be judged. Such is critical to her image and the product/s that she endorses. Anyone in advertising will tell that amongst all prerequisites, a star's credibility is what makes the cut.

Lucky for CE, no one has yet snapped a photo of her tinkering with the competitor's item and posted it online. Otherwise, that would be her biggest gaffe.
