How Deep is Your Love?

Image courtesy of www.allseanpaul.com

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?

His Loss, His Gain

It is common knowledge to some showbiz insiders and followers that Pretty Boy PB had a brief relationship with Pretty Girl PG when he was just an upstart in the industry. It was on the set of PG's soap that also starred PB that their relationship bloomed.

However, both denied having something special other than friendship. But such declarations belied the frequent sightings of them together -- on dinner dates, movies, out-of-town trips and the like. Although brief, their relationship had somehow brought realizations, especially for PB. It was alleged that it was he who decided to call it quits with PG. Why? This the story:

In one of the network events, both PB and PG were being made-up in the same dressing room. As such, there would always be continuous banter and chat to keep themselves awake and energized for their assigned performances. PB and PG's topic at that time was about their respective careers, and their commitment to really succeed and make it big in the industry. It was at this point when PG was overheard telling/ and or advising PB on how to take the shorter route to get there.

PG: If I were you, I will initiate to have a fling with a gay executive so that you will always have good projects and be given special treatment and perks. You know, it's about being smart.

PB was floored, he didn't expect something so vulgar to come from PG . To him, it was so crass knowing that they were in a relationship together. It dawned on him that prolonging his affair with her  would be counter-productive. He believed he would not grow with a woman who instead of being beautifully inspired, he would end up badly influenced.

"Nothing more surely cultivates and embellishes a man than association with refined and virtuous women."  Gladstone.

The Emerging Monster

Image courtesy of www.wallpopper.com

Time and again, showbiz industry will never be bereft of swell-headed stars, those with over-sized ego, so full of themselves, that no one else matters but them. The descriptions fit the term that is specially coined for them -- monster.

This Celebrity Host CH  seems so overwhelmed getting the big breaks too much too soon. Having attained a certain level of prominence, CH is always conscious and protective of his status. He is fully aware how obnoxious he is to most of his followers and co-workers -- yet he seems to enjoy such image, and always on the defensive when he has to. His success has definitely gone to his head, quickly learning how to make demands, and consequently making life difficult for people he works for.

At a production meeting for his Show SW recently, CH aired out his hard feelings towards SW's Production team SWP. He questioned why he is made to wear cheap outfits that make him look funny and awkward. He complained not realizing that his comedy skits would look weird with him in pricey, normal outfits. Add to that the fact that it would be a difficult request for the SWP to provide, given the wardrobe budget that they have to adhere to. Something that CH knew very well.

CH also raised issues like why his SW family doesn't support his concerts and movie premiere nights, even comparing himself with a co-host who SW has been giving consistent support to. CH insinuated that his Other Show OW family is so supportive of him, wishing that SW would extend the same kind of support to him. One SWP reasoned out that they find him intimidating, and that there's no way they could go to his concerts when CH would not even extend personal invitations to them. SWP added further that how could OW  not go to his movie premiere nights when they are the very people behind those movies. CH was tonque-tied with that rebuttal.

To his SW family, CH has quickly evolved into an incurable airhead, who's agenda will be about himself and his interests...always. He wants to be treated with kid gloves at all times, and given preferential treatment, much like the other big stars of the network who were way established and home-grown, years before CH even struck into showbiz consciousness.

Amids all those, little did everyone know that they would be in for a major shock.

Weeks ago, CH expressed his biggest scare. He feared the big possibility that his record-breaking solo movie would be eclipsed and dethroned by the returns of his Latest Movie LM where he was just one of the stars. CH got so affected that he was overheard telling people not to watch LM anymore -- for very obvious reasons. People were shocked to hear that CH would go so low and make such insensitive statements just so he could entrench himself, even at the cost of his friendship which the public thought was genuine.

Question: How will CH's bff's in LM react to this massive insecurity?

Before and After: Kim Chiu

In showbiz, it is very common for celebrities  to undergo cosmetic surgery, as they believe it helps improve their public image, which also means improved career opportunities. In the Philippines, there has been a lot of public assumptions about stars who have gone under the knife to alter, or enhance their physical look for the above reasons, and more. Nothing wrong with that. But while some of these stars choose to ignore these talks, a big majority deny that they had ever undergone such. People ask why do they have to deny, especially if it is something so obvious?

For the above collage of Kim Chiu, who for the longest time has been suspected, believed, and talked about for her physical look and transformation -- take a moment and scrutinize. You may want to share  what you think.

Note: May I request that readers be objective in their comments and no bashing, please. Thank  you.

Spotted: Sarah Lahbati in Cebu During Her 1 Month Unapproved Absence?

Filipinas in Showbiz received a few pictures in the mail, allegedly lifted from Annabelle Rama’s Facebook account along with a note saying they were taken in December 2012. In the pictures is Sarah Lahbati with the Gutierrez family and actor JC de Vera on stage campaigning for Annabelle Rama in her congressional bid in Cebu City. It was reported that this was where Sarah Lahbati allegedly spent her unapproved 1 month vacation from GMA.

These same pictures and details were likewise emailed to Fashion PULIS.

Amidst all the brouhaha about Ms. Lahbati's wanting to be released from her contract with GMA and talks of Ms. Rama's alleged participation and backing of her, what do these pictures tell the public?

Not a Beautiful Judgment

Image courtesy of www.diddywah.blogspot.com

A beautiful teleserye started to air starring two of the network's most bankable stars -- Bankable Actor BA and pretty actress. Everybody's expectation was so high for this much-awaited team up. It was a very encouraging working environment in the beginning. On the set, everyone was supportive of each other -- the crew, staff, the talents. And why not? They were enjoying pretty good ratings. Suddenly, things turned for the worse. BA's behavior had become erratic and counter-productive for the show to continue effectively and productively. People wondered what had become of him. Has his passion for his craft gone? Has he become jaded and no longer find his craft challenging enough? What gives?

BA's unprofessionalisnm has taken a big toll on the 4th week of the show's airing. The staff and crew, the whole production team PT for that matter no longer had that encouraging spirit to do their best for the show. There was one taping for airing episode (meaning taping today, airing tomorrow) but BA was nowhere to be found. As a consequence, the script had to be revised at the last minute to suit the needs at that point, so that taping wouldn't be packed up and substantial losses incurred.

Everything became a mess and chaotic that brought a lot of difficulties for the the show and the production. It came to a point that the scriptwriter would just call the executive producer EP and scripts that were handwritten were given to the stars -- that was just so weird. Things were so out of hand, that the director had to approach BA's friends to request them to help put some sense into BA's head so that he would cooperate and spare the show from eventual demise. But it was futile. BA was just so disconnected.

Suddenly, BA's passion was no longer there, his behavior rubbed off on the entire PT. They were demoralized. Stars were mad. BA was uncontrollable. There was inefficiency all over. What a perfect recipe for disaster! Result? No Rating! PT already gave up and accepted their fate. Right now, they only continue to work just to get it over and done with. They are helpless, even had to cover up for the lead actor that caused it all -- and why? Because he is perceived as a network gem (sic).

BA has slowly but surely made a name for himself as a gifted and versatile actor. All that he is now, he earned through hard work. Guess it's never too late to reform. Move now. Be a gem, not a potential goner.

A Secret Affair, A Secret Deal

Image courtesy of. www.slavicabogdanov.com

Sometime ago, a Popular Singer and actress PS was almost engaged to be married to her non-showbiz Boyfriend BF of many years. But sadly, and to everyone's shock, all those years just ended up in splitsville. No reason was given.

After the split, PS continued with her showbiz career, and BF with his. Not long after, BF who worked somewhere decided to stay in town for good and was reported to be exploring on a new path -- to head a showbiz enterprise. Not a few eyebrows were raised, questioning his fitness to embark on something that's such a far cry from his professional training.

Back to the present. The gossip mill has been on fire for days with a Star's TS damaging expose on her unsettled grievances versus the people she had trusted. Her word against theirs. Public was treated to a buffet of dizzying versions of the scandal. Everyone had seen the surface. But has anyone tried to scratch the bottom? Let us see.

Mrs. Career Woman MC who is close to showbiz powerful is allegedly "involved" with the now married BF who heads the enterprise. BF now does good business with MC who helps him ink transactions through her big connections. But their business dealings have been stepping on not a few toes who bear the brunt of being dislodged from their comfort zones the moment they try to question MC and BF. The scheme allegedly had been grossly disadvantageous to the people involved such that those who could not stand the heat, chose to get out of the kitchen before they get burned. But the rest -- the "no choice" ones, just grin and bear it.

But not the one stubborn antagonist SA whose many interests are in grave conflict with both MC's and BF's. SA who is the principal author of the major chaos within the organization, had allegedly secretly manipulated everything by conveniently using a "dummy" to expose and shame MC and BF -- while she watched. The astute SA who has her own gigantic family issue as well, tried to soften the blow by focusing on the affairs and dealings of MC and BF. How clever!

And TS, the gullible dummy, who is like a basketball dribbled back and forth, is the one most heavily wounded in this spectacle. Will she be able to bounce back after the game? We will watch.

Will This News Set His Direction?

Image courtesy of www.everydayadventure11.blogspot.com

Fresh off the source is the news that a young character actor (CA) is going to be a Daddy soon! While CA is a total package to make it big - looks, talent, and intensity, he is without a doubt always a magnet for scandals and intrigues. Notwithstanding, being hounded by talks of bad habits that had thwarted his career's positive trajectory. Many good opportunities that were supposed to land beautifully on his lap were lost in the process. His entry into showbiz was met with a big welcome owing to the fact that he comes from a family of thespians, who also answers to the label showbiz royalty. He did deliver in the beginning but as time went by, he allegedly fell into the habit that had greatly affected his performance and the family's professional image.

Now that talks are rife that he will be a father in a few months, will CA take his career more seriously this time and steer it into the right direction? Hopefully, he will be able to catch up with all the lost opportunities. It is never too late. Incidentally, CA has gone through a lot with the future mother (FM) of his child. Allegedly, FM was the one who got in the way of a network’s prized actress during an out of town taping, and was even threatened by the possibility that CA would drop her in favor of another actress who is now happily in the arms of a famous non-showbiz personality.

Hopefully, the arrival of his baby will bring more sense and direction into his life.
