PBA: Please Beware of Attention

Public display of affection or PDA is any physical display of affection between two people while in the presence of others. Some common forms of PDA include holding hands, hugging, kissing, necking or petting in public. A man normally uses PDA to establish claim on a woman and to publicly communicate that she belongs to him.

This basketball player definitely enjoys PDA. If you Google his name, you will see his photos publicly kissing this certain actress who used to be his girlfriend. Recently, he was seen in a club making out with this drunken television host all night long. Club goers who were able to witness their lip locking scenes were surprised because the host's aggressive behavior that night was totally opposite from the demure image that she projects on television.

The Prima Donna Noontime Show Host

Image courtesy of www.greendaymind.wordpress.com

The term "prima donna" is used to describe a temperamental conceited person who has an inflated view of themselves or their talent. According to the production staff of this noontime show, this is the term that best describes this female host who used to have her own television series.

She is always tardy for her call time and she needs to spend hours in the dressing room having her hair and make-up done. One time when she came in really late, her hairstylist was pressured to finish her hairstyle in a matter of a few minutes. When she looked at the mirror, she was very dissatisfied with what she saw so she cursed the hairstylist and humiliated him. 

It is also a challenge for the staff to make her come out of her dressing room. Whenever they need her on the set, she always has to ask for a few extra minutes to have something done. It is already her bad habit to make her co-hosts wait for her.

Could This Article Possibly Explain Albie Casino's Behavior?

Image courtesy of www.showbuzinessetc.blogspot.com

A reader found this article entitled B for D: The Lowdown on Dyslexia and Other Learning Disabilities that was published on Female Network.com in 2006. Let me share excerpts of this article with you.

Slowpoke. Stupid. Bobo. Weirdo. Nine-year-old Albie Casino has heard them all. He didn’t have friends in the exclusive boys’ school he attended from prep to grade two. Nobody wanted to play with him. One day, when he asked his mom Rina if he could bring his Koosh Ball to school, her heart broke as Albie explained: “If I don’t have it, nobody will play with me.”

It’s not because Albie looks different. A handsome boy, he has even modeled for a magazine. A smart one, he was one of the top 30 who passed his school’s prep entrance exam, which 1,000 or so boys took. But Albie can’t read or spell as well as the other children can. He reads “brop” for “drop,” “whon” for “whom,” “flit” for “felt,” “they had tried” for “they had trained.” He spells “entr” for “enter,” “maek” for “make,” “surkol” for “circle.” Albie, you see, has dyslexia.

Albie was tested by his school’s guidance department after his teacher noticed his difficulty with reading. The teacher also noted that Albie would excuse himself from class whenever there was a board activity or when it was time for his remedial reading classes. When told that their son had dyslexia. Albie’s parents initially refused to believe it, saying, “Ano ba ‘yan? Baka okey lang.” It was only after Rina read up on the subject and then learned that two of Albie’s cousins were dyslexic did acceptance come.

Acting on the recommendation of the school’s guidance department, Albie’s parents brought him to Wordlab School in Quezon City, a private educational institution that assesses and works with children with learning disabilities. Wordlab recommended an after-school reading intervention program for Albie. They also wrote Albie’s school a list of things they could do for the boy to help him cope. Among these were giving him reading texts in advance so that he can have more time to practice on them, and giving him more time to take written tests.

His school was traditional and the atmosphere very competitive, however, so the requests couldn’t be accommodated. Albie was transferred to a progressive school. In this new school, classes are limited to 13 students for all grade levels and non-traditional ways of teaching are accommodated. The teachers slow down until the students understand a lesson; homework is not piled on, and addition techniques are taught with a rhythmic dance. All around, children are motivated to learn at their own pace.

Boost His Self-esteem
Albie is now in grade three in this school, and his parents can’t help but notice how much his self-esteem has shot up. Says Rina, “He has friends now and his social skills improved very much. He doesn’t say ‘I can’t’ that much anymore.”

Ungrateful Friend

This big time host used to have a male co-host on his former TV show. He was extra generous to this co-host because he treated him as a good friend. He gave him so much cash and even showered him with luxurious gifts. Last Christmas, he gave him a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes. When he found out that this co-host was travelling to Europe, he offered to pay for his airfare and even gave him pocket money.

In spite of the big time host's generosity to the co-host, he still managed to speak badly of him. One day when this big time TV host was standing outside the dressing room, he accidentally overheard the co-host badmouthing him. The co-host was telling someone in the dressing room that although the big time host is generous friend, he is really very difficult to work with.

When the big time host heard this, he entered the dressing room and confronted the co-host. He advised him to resign from his show that very moment and say his goodbyes to their co-workers. He stopped being friend with him after that incident. This was the real reason behind the co-host's departure from the said show.

One day when he was there having a good time with some friends, the beauty ambassadress of this entertainment center caught his attention. According to him, her features reminded him of this actress whom he used to date a few years ago.

Since this public servant is a valued client of the entertainment center, he used his connections to get in touch with the beauty ambassadress. He requested one of his contacts to offer her a few hundred thousand pesos just to spend one night with him. The beauty ambassadress turned down the offer and the public servant was disillusioned.

Letter from a Reader: Queen of Deadma

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I recently got hooked on Fashion Pulis. The first time I visited your blog, it took me the whole day read through your old blind items. Anyway, I would like to share a story with you and your readers.

I used to be a very big fan of this female TV personality prior to these two incidents that happened two weeks ago when I watched the concert of this comedian.

First incident: 

My cousin who was part of the production team and her friend approached this female TV personality to request for a picture with her. Despite the fact that my cousin and her friend were standing in front of her, she ignored them and pretended not to hear them.

Second incident: 

A friend of mine who is very close to the comedian brought me to his dressing room after the concert to congratulate him.  He was very kind and warm. He was also very enthusiastic when we requested to have a picture with him. 

After having our picture with him, I noticed that the female TV personality was also in the dressing room. I approached her and asked if I can have a picture with her. I heard her said yes to me but after that, she sat on the couch beside the comedian and started chatting with him. It suddenly seemed like I was not even present in the room. 

I understand that celebrities deserve to have their private time, but it was not as if there were many people lining up in the room to have their picture taken with her. She could have just said no if she didn't really want to entertain me. 

After that night, my admiration and respect for her just vanished. I stopped watching her show on TV. Maybe i just felt so disappointed because I used to really admire her.

Anyway, thank you FP for entertaining me and so many other people out there with your blind items! I hope you will not run out of stories! More power and God bless!

Yours truly,
KS

Insecure Much?

Image courtesy of ggingersnaps.blogspot.com

This actor was still very much attached to his former model-girlfriend when he started dating this actress. One day when this model decided to pay the actor a surprise visit at his place, she was shocked when the actress answered the door. She immediately left the place because she was disheartened to see the actress standing there, wearing one of the actor's t-shirts.

Despite the fact that the model's relationship with the actor has ended, the two of them have managed to maintain contact with each other. To make things worse, she is also very close to most of his family members. This is actually why this actress is very insecure with this model.

Her insecurity eventually worsened when this model joined a reality TV show. If you remember, she got involved in a twitter war with an athlete when she tweeted "lahat na lang artista na :( sad.” When she did this, she was not just referring to the athlete but she was indirectly sending a message to the model who just entered show business at that time.

Leave Me Alone

This actor does not want any other clients to be present at this gym whenever he is there for his work out. He wants the management to refuse the appointments of the other clients despite this gym's policy of only allowing a maximum of four clients per slot.

According to him, he has low self-esteem because he has gained a noticeable amount of weight lately. He is not confident with this body and he does not want the other clients to see him when he works out. He is however willing to make an exception for this female VJ who was once romantically linked to someone who is very close to him.

The management of this exclusive gym denied his request because it has very limited slots to begin with. Also, the clients per time slot policy was also explained to him before he enrolled.

The Informant

Image courtesy of www.stockphotos.it

Most of the female celebrities in this network stay away from this reality show alumna because she is known to be extra friendly with the boys. A few months ago, a sexy actress even launched an all out war against her after she discovered that her hunky actor boyfriend went out with her.

If you were able to follow this story closely a few months ago, I am sure that you have come across articles mentioning the involvement of this other actress in their war. What these articles did not mention was that this other actress was the informant who tipped the sexy star about her boyfriend's rendezvous with this reality show alumna. 

When this reality show alumna found out that it was this other actress who spilled the beans to the sexy star, she immediately gave her a phone call. She screamed at her, verbally bullied her and even cursed her. This nasty phone conversation started the rift between these two celebrities who used to be friends.

Question from a Reader: Did Albie Casino Fly to the USA?

Here are some of Ablie Casino's photo with the Eigenmanns during happier times. A reading sent me a question asking if it is true that Albie already left for the USA? He was spotted drunk a few days prior to his departure. 

Rest Assured: Show Him the Money

Image courtesy of www.pmstudio.co.uk

On the set of a television commercial shoot, everything was in place except for the male endorser's payment. Despite the brand manager's repeated assurance that his cheque for the payment was on its way, he pretended not to hear anything and just sat in one corner of the dressing room. He even refused to have his hair and make-up done while waiting for the cheque to be delivered.

When the envelope containing the cheque was finally handed by the brand manager to the endorser's handler, the endorser suddenly had a 180 degrees mood change. It was so obvious that he only perked up and started being friendly with everyone around after the payment was received.

Update: The Secret Keeper

Image courtesy of www.datesphere.com

I have just received the latest update regarding The Secret Keeper story that I posted last Wednesday. 

According to a very reliable source, the girl in the story, Miss C, has already filed rape charges against the athletes yesterday. The details of the charges are not yet clear. What I do know so far is that one of the athletes involved in the case has tapped the services of a very prestigious law firm located along Paseo de Roxas. 

This story has many different versions. I am in no position to tell you which one is right or wrong. Just like a court case, let me share two different versions with you and you can be the judge.

Version 1

After meeting at a bar, one of the athletes invited the girl to the house for some fun. When they were done, the girl was shocked when the two other athletes suddenly entered the picture. The two of them coerced her into doing it with them, while the other one was in charge of the video recording.

Version 2

The girl had group fun with the athletes and one of them was in charge of the video recording. When the girl found out about it, she demanded for the recording to be deleted. The athletes refused and kicked her out of the house.

Booty Call

A few months ago, this alumna of a reality show was having some relationship problems with her actor boyfriend. Their problem started when this celebrity from the same network admitted that she was secretly dating this actor before the reality star entered the picture.

This was a very stressful time for the reality star so one night when she was feeling very lonely, she decided to get in touch with this certain professional basketball player. Apparently, this basketball player is said to be her booty call and she gets in touch with him whenever she feels the urge to release some tension. On that specific night, she even instructed him to bring along another friend for her girl friend who is a fellow alumna of the reality show.

The Secret Keeper

One night, three drunken athletes brought a random girl that they met at a bar to the place of their friend where they were staying. This friend lends his place to these athletes whenever they need a place to stay in Manila.

While the four of them were having some hot fun, one of the athletes secretly documented the entire act. When the girl sober up the next morning, she accidentally found out about the video recording. She confronted the three athletes and demanded for the video to be deleted. The athletes instantly denied the allegations and threw the girl out of the house.

Out of desperation, the girl tried to approach the owner of the house to ask him for some help because she knows that he has a certain amount of control over these athletes. This home owner refused to assist the girl and instead of doing something about it, he decided to keep the whole thing as a secret because he knows that the bad image of the athletes will affect him as well.  

Do you know who these three athletes are? How about the owner of the house? Please observe the guidelines in posting comments and remember that initials are not allowed.
