Confronting the Inevitable: Territorial Manager vs. Itchy Actress

When territorial manager (TM) bumped into Playful Actress (PA) along the corridor of the room of his prized talent (PT), TM stopped and confronted PA. TM told PA to stop involving herself in the life of PT as PT is already doing well. Caught unaware, PA said she and PT were just good friends, etc. Of course, TM did not buy the “friendship” litany. After all, PA and PT were once lovers, and PA has been quite vocal about her past affair with the actor.

TM, still peeved over the we-are-just-friends excuse, looked at PA, and said, “If you feel the itch, go find someone else to do the scratching, not my boy!” In diva fashion, TM turned his back and walked away from PA.

Now, another source claimed that PA and PT were indeed sharing a room during that same event, and that PA has ''hooked up'' with PT after breaking up with her most recent boyfriend. Well, don’t look now! Despite her projects and PT on one side, PA still has time to flirt with another actor from a different network. Is PA keeping “lovers” or "flings'' in different networks? Will TM succeed in keeping PA away from PT?

Reason Behind Her Rage

Image courtesy of www.youtube.com

Before the filming of a series, stars and a few major players in the production are often encouraged to develop rapport. For example, if the cast has several teen stars for a barkada-serye, they are allowed to hang around, do stuff together to break the ice, and be comfortable with each other. Other than the formal acting workshops, casual get-togethers are encouraged for the cast.

Having grown up in the business, establishing this initial connection through a casual gathering is nothing new for intense actress (IA). Hence, she invited young hunk (YH) to have dinner at her house. She was to star with YH in a project, which was her return to the network and his follow up after his successful solo series. However, something happened during dinner. According to YH, he was not sure if IA was under the influence of alcohol or not, but he said she tried to ''entice'' him. He politely warded off any advances of IA. He claimed he behaved like a gentleman that night when he told '' the story” to his close friends and bosses.

Imagine the surprise of YH when IA gave him a mouthful when he had a difficult time in their scene. It seemed that IA took the opportunity to pounce on YH as she did not like him turning her down as simple as that. Perhaps YH turned her down to avoid more confusion or trouble as he had already caused tension between his former and current girlfriends and their fans. In addition, YH might like cougars but maybe he is just interested in older women who can swing both ways. Nonetheless, when YH learned that IA was dropped from their project, he felt sorry for her.

Thus, it was not just bad acting that got IA irked that day, it was really the turning down of YH that had already triggered her fury towards him. True to her style of responding to controversy, IA has opted to keep quiet concerning this issue.

Is He Losing Interest in His Career?

Months ago, fans of this popular loveteam were so elated with the announcement that the couple were finally doing a movie together again. After the success of their second movie, the camps of female performer (FP) and media heartthrob (MH) surprised the fans for refusing to have a third movie soon after. Since then, FP and MH have proceeded with their own careers. FP got busy with her concerts and found love interests in between. Meanwhile, MH retained his position as a bankable actor in movies,  endorsements, and other appearances.

As their fans anticipated the release of the third movie in time for Valentine’s Day, stories are now floating that the movie outfit will release a different movie on that day, one that will star the hottest actor in their stable and his former teleserye partner. Hence, there is now a question as to the fate of  FP's and MH's movie.

Talks had it that the movie encountered problems along the way, causing some serious delay. Allegedly, MH has gotten hooked on something that has made the production hold the movie until MH is ready to face the cameras again. Over the past years, MH was the subject of stories about having drinks too many. His latest show, which started well, abruptly ended and rumors pointed to him becoming difficult to work with on the set.

Why is MH behaving badly these days? Isn't he supposed to be inspired with his new status? After he proudly proclaimed his latest relationship, not a few were happy for him and his girlfriend (GF), while others predicted that MH would drop GF soon. But so far, they seem so good.

Sadly, if MH's career plunges, GF might possibly be put in a bad light. Up to when will his network wait for MH? Will he shape up in due time?

A piece of advice to this actor: "In this business, fame lasts for a second. You can be blown up and be blown down. People keep losing interest in faces because new ones come along every single second.''

TV5's Wowowillie and Its Stressful Debut

The much-vaunted  TV5's first-ever noontime show, Wowowillie starring its main host, the unstoppable Willie Revillame kicked off today with a strong 360-dancer, 20-minute opening number. Quite impressive in numbers. But inspite of the big preparations, it seemed obvious like everything was rushed for the show.

As Willie and his hosts were chatting on camera, the stage suddenly went dark, then black. Lights failed to come back for a few seconds, and production had no choice but to cue for a commercial. And that suffering would turn out to be a painful 15-minute technical glitch from 12:50 to 1:05 pm.

It was "the show must go on" after that, as Willie came back on cam with his hosts and made light  of the technical problem in his usual fun and bubbly self.  As this article is being typed, the show has suffered its 3rd blackout, and had to go on commercial again. But you can't deny the audience's feelings and apprehension as small whispers, ooohhhs and ahhhsss were heard on the air.

What does this scenario foretell? But still, for all it's worth, TV5 with or without its controversial host deserves a fair share of the lucrative noontime show market.

News Accuracy: As Sure As It Gets

Image courtesy of www.twitter.com

News reporting in the Philippines has been viciously competitive, especially in the last three decades. What used to be the cutthroat battle between broadcast and print media undeniably gets more aggressive as the world gets smaller with the impact of technology. The competition is now even tighter with the birth of internet and social media. The unparalleled popularity of facebook and twitter in particular has both become a boon and a bane for news reporters as they have become their unwitting competitors in news gathering industry.

There was a time when being right was more important than being first to report a story.
The first person or reporter to break the news gets all the bragging rights. Only a few care about accuracy, especially if the report turns out to be a rumor. But if the story is true, the first to report gets all the credit. But only if the facts are presented accurately.

If things don't change, a visible news personality NP of a major network MN might be in danger of getting axed anytime soon. Reason? A very inaccurate news report on a sensitive news item. NP had presented the news report that allegedly turned out to be a dud. The matter reached the MN higher-ups and a not-so-happy verdict is allegedly in the works.

Of late, MN has been criticized for highly inaccurate and poorly-researched materials that saw airing in their primetime television news programs. Only a few months ago, MN and one of its reporters had  been heavily bashed online for its careless handling of a news report involving the murder of a family member. Televiewers and the netizens were aghast at the mindless and irresponsible reporting that almost led to MN's and the reporter's being sued by the very aggrieved party.

Being first is only part of it. People look for a source they can trust and accuracy has never been more important. The impact of MN's earlier blunders sees it reeling from credibility problems. That is why NP's recent faux pas is the last thing that it needs at this point. In fact, an insider was overheard saying that a major 'shot in the arm' is what MN news department actually and badly needs at this time.

 How will NP solve his big dilemma? If only we're that privy...

Still Milking the Controversy

Image courtesy of www.article.wn.com

The feud between the former best friends spilled over on their professional lives. However, the people around them are not about to let this controversy die down as they seem to be milking it for the mileage and publicity it brings for BF1 and BF2. The production people of the common show of BF1 and BF2 intentionally decided to put them together in one production number. At least the production had enough sense to have separate dressing rooms for BF1 and BF2 as both are no longer on speaking terms. Well, silence is often more stressful than actual noise at times because one does not know what the other will do.

At any rate, BF1 and BF2 have sacrificed their friendship over young hunk (YH), who seems to have started the year on the wrong foot. First, he’s still being dragged into the limelight and teased badly through the choice of songs of singer actress. Second, he fell for BF2, who just happened to be the confidant of BF1 when they were still together. Third, YH earned the ire of veteran actress (VA) on the set, which led her to be relieved of her comeback soap for the network. More so, stories are now coming out that veteran actress allegedly got irked by the way YH was handling his relationships with women. Thus, it was not just his ham acting that got in her way.

Incidentally, when YH had a short-lived affair with another young actress of his network, he was also courting her best friend as well. The young actress is now in a relationship with model turned actor, while her best friend is allegedly being wooed by Fil-Am performer. It seems that YH likes to get in between best friends. Whether it’s coincidental or not, it probably benefits his ego to be “fought” over by women.

Now, after the production number of BF1 and BF2, will the production challenge the limits of sensitivity and combine BF1, BF2, and YH in one number?

Beyond The Celebrity's Mask

Every organization is founded on a mission, a sense of purpose to accomplish goals and objectives as defined in the organization's vision statement. Thus it is a very serious endeavor that an organization must be headed by an individual of unquestionable integrity, a name that is well-respected in the community. The thrust of the organization's commitment depends a great deal if the above standards are met by the individual who will run it. .

Thus, it is quite a shock when you hear of a person who is supposed to have an untarnished image and a pillar of goodness, compassion and honesty being talked about as being involved in funds misuse and abuse of power.

This good looking and popular celebrity GP who heads a big non profit organization NGO tasked to help the poor and underprivileged is allegedly engaged in malversation of funds --- the organization's funds for that matter. Sounds unthinkable and conflicting for GP's public persona. But there have been persistent and strong insider information that point to GP's extra curricular activities and misuse of these funds.

GP is well known for having a fastidious lifestyle. It was alleged that GP draws funds from the NGO to pay for personal credit card bills amounting to Php 300,000 to 500,000 per month! The scandalous figure sounds like the NGO is the one tasked to shoulder the fabulous lifestyle. And why not, even the monthly payment for the personal dance instructor aka DI allegedly comes from the NGO funds itself.

Do the regular donors of the NGO know where their hard-earned money is being squandered? Aren't these funds supposed to be used to take care of the poor and the oppressed in the first place? So many questions that need to be addressed immediately. Well, we can only hope and pray for the best.
