While a few celebrities have kept a low profile, others take advantage of their fame to obtain favors. For instance, some celebrities are known for chiding clothing companies for sponsorship or stores for discounts. Still, other celebrities take their endorsements seriously, and will not risk any opportunity to be seen with the rival product. Hence, some celebrities feel that their presence should result in their demands to be responded to positively.

A few weeks ago, talents from the various networks graced the yearly festivities of a city up north. Celebrities riding in floats and walking around the city were already common, and the locals showed respect to their visitors. Naturally, the response is that kindness should beget kindness, but a celebrity (CP) felt she should be privileged because she was famous.

Any visitor to the city knows where to head off to buy the best sweets and fruit preserves, and is ready to cue for minutes. Since the festival was going on, the city had more people than usual, and the store had longer lines. When CP arrived with her company, people in the area smiled at her to acknowledge her presence. Instead of smiling back, CP exuded a snobbish personality or the feeling of a VIP. Then, when she saw the line, she made her way to the counter and expected to be accommodated. Alas, the clerks were wise not to give in to her demand even if she were a celebrity.

Feeling irritated, CP walked out of the store. As CP was moving, a fan slightly touched her elbow as if asking if CP could pause for a moment for them to have a photo. CP merely brushed away the fan, and continued on her way. Though the onlookers could not help at seeing how beautiful and slim CP was, her attitude was the opposite. CP was arrogant and unpleasant. Someone quipped that CP is so unlike her mother, one of the country’s best-loved dramatic actresses in and out of the limelight.

Vice Ganda's PMPC Best Actor Award is Legit?

The recent brouhaha over the Philippine Movie Press Club's (PMPC) selection process came to fore as showbiz columnist Jobert Sucaldito went to air his grave sentiments over his ward's George Estregan Jr's not winning the Best Actor award for "Boy Golden" that went to Vice Ganda instead for Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy .

The controversy over the hotly contested award which had Joel Torre frontlining it for the movie "On the Job" had stirred mixed emotions from the netizens in various social media forums.

Jobert raised his grievances as Estregan's publicist who lobbied for the actor hoping he would clinch the Best Actor award.

On the other hand, some observers say that the award should have been handed to Joel Torre for his performance in "On the Job" that won two (2) awards in South Korea's Puchon International Fantastic Film Fest.

But some showbiz pundits contend that it was not fair to say that Joel Torre's Best Actor win for "On the Job" abroad must be a deciding factor for a PMPC award. They said that winning awards abroad should not be the standard to be applied locally as different criteria are set for each awards body.

Saying that taste is relative, some people say that it is best for all concerned to just accept and respect the official choice of PMPC (on Vice Ganda as Best Actor ), and those of other award-giving bodies' for that matter.
