Quaint Payment Scheme

Beautiful actress (BA) had it all for many years -- fame, money, tv shows, movies, and the lots of connections. She had a contract with a network that assured her of the exposure and shows that kept everything going for her. Stories of her love life proliferated with the mysterious men of all kinds in her life. Foreigners, prominent politicians, fellow actors -- she had them all. The most colorful of these love interests was talented performer (TP).

When BA and TP came out as a couple, kibitzers immediately dismissed their supposed relationship as a farce. TP was said to be vainer than BA. At the same time, BA was also allegedly involved with a scion of a powerful political family then. Thus, the publicized relationship with TP was just a shield and a form of damage control to save their respective careers.

Now, BA is working doubly hard, often hopping from one channel to another to get much-needed projects. She needed every peso to sustain and maintain the kind of lifestyle she was used to, which is quite unattainable at this point. Undoubtedly, she is no longer as hot and in-demand as she was years back.

A few weeks ago, BA and TP bumped into a show where both of them were guests. Suddenly, BA remembered that she owes TP a few hundred thousand pesos. Before TP could even say anything, BA, in her usual bubbly manner, blurted out tactlessly in front of everyone, “Hey, can I just pay you sometime? Or we can just "make out" in exchange for it, you know?” Those who heard her laughed at her brashness, as they all knew of stories of TP's not-so-secret preferences.

However, there is more to TP than his rumored preference. Unknown to many, TP had lots of "energy" when he and BA were still together, as in they would really make effort to make time for it no matter how busy they were. But that was years ago. Will TP now bite into BA's proposal to do barter? Passionate service in exchange for hard, cold cash? You bet?

“Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of."

Such a Careless Behavior!

Sexy Actress (SA) is at it again. Recently, SA has been spotted with a few handsome celebrities, such as a former boyfriend, and her publicly admitted latest “target.” People who witnessed her behavior after an out-of-town show were shocked.

After the event, SA had her flight rebooked to give way to the invitation of a singer who is native to that town. While having dinner, while SA was having a few drinks, people's attentions were turned to the arriving cute young mestizo guy MG who was introduced to her. It seemed like SA and MG immediately hit if off and she invited him to her hotel right after dinner.

At the hotel, SA requested her aide (who was assumed as her roommate) to stay elsewhere in the meantime while she and MG went up to the room. Unknowingly, some people saw how SA and MG flirted with each other as they moved about.

Right smack in the view of other guests who were relaxing by the poolside was the room of SA. Hence,  SA and MG in playful movements were being feasted on. After a moment, the lights were switched off. Yet the guests were shocked to see the silhouette of the SA and MG kissing and cavorting with each other. Then, the two shadows disappeared from view.

Uh oh. Is SA really living up to her reputation? What will the hunks she was rumoured to be dating say about it? More importantly, if SA is indeed to be overflowing with passion and deliberately doing it so carelessly, is she aware of the possible ill effects it might have on her health?

Perhaps, this quote from Aldous Huxley could tie up her behavior and her treatment of her family, “The impulse to cruelty is, in many people, almost as violent as the impulse to sexual love – almost as violent and much more mischievous.”

Collector Pays P1.3 M for Fake High-end Bags

MANILA, Philippines - A 21-year-old businesswoman, who collects designer bags, has filed charges against an online reseller who sold her two fake Hermes Birkin bags, for which she paid more than P1.3 million.

“It was only when I decided to re-sell them that I found out they were fake,” she told The STAR in an interview yesterday.

The woman agreed to talk on condition of anonymity. She also asked that the online reseller, whom she charged with estafa before the National Bureau of Investigation, not be named. The two parties are set to meet tomorrow at the NBI headquarters.

The complainant said she only wants her money back.

“Everyone we consulted, even the Hermes store here, told us the bags were fake,” the woman said.
She said she found the reseller through Instagram in November 2012 and bought a bubblegum pink Birkin (a rare color, according to her) for P660,000 and an orange Birkin for P690,000.

The two bags were delivered to her in January but she had kept them in their boxes and never checked them until she decided to sell the bags after she gave birth later that month.

When her elder sister took the bags to a prospective buyer, she was told they were fake.

Collectors
The two sisters had been collecting bags over the past five years and have about 100 pieces, most of them by well-known designers.

The elder sister said the deal made by the complainant, which she did not know about, seemed a good one since the two Birkin bags she bought were really rare.

“We could get those from the Hermes store (in Greenbelt) but the waiting time is about two years,” the elder sister said.

The complainant said when she told the reseller that the bags were fake, the reseller referred her to a “Birkin expert.” The reseller “told us she would return my money if that person would say the bags were fake. But when he did say they were not authentic, she still refused to give me a refund,” the woman said.

The expert told her to go the Hermes store in Greenbelt to have the bags checked. “We were told by the store manager that the official authentication from France would come in after about three months since we would have to send the bags there. But the manager said that based on just the paper bags, the boxes and the feel of the leather, the bags were fake,” the complainant said.

Can't Stop Drinking His Alcohol

Image courtesy of www.weheartit.com 

While we have been reading about how drinking has affected the behavior of the nonchalant actor (NA), he is fortunate that he not been involved in any accident so far. Always, there were cooler heads that intervened and prevented any catastrophic incident that would endanger him.

NA was seen drunk at a wine bar along the restaurant strip of a famous high-end mall. As almost  everyone already knew him as such, people did not bother him. Suddenly, NA grabbed a man nearby. The atmosphere became tense as customers thought NA was going to throw a fist to the man. To everyone’s surprise, NA told him, “Could you take a picture?” After posing and thanking the man, NA pushed him aside. Indeed, kind of familiar scenes whenever drunk NA was around.

Closer to home, NA was allegedly seen fast asleep in his car in the middle of the night several times. Was NA dozing off the effects of alcohol? Was he so drunk that he could not even make it to his own home?

Perhaps, his network could intervene before NA loses everything, and that includes his image. NA should value the fact, while it is still a fact, that he is a prized talent of his network. The public looks up to him as a role model, and a generation that idolizes and who remembers him by the names of the characters he played in movies and teleseryes.

Why is NA behaving this way again? Is he burnt out with his career? his love life? Is he into alcohol to feel okay and forget his troubles yet again? If he does not watch out, he might find himself in bigger trouble soon. If he doesn't shape up, he will end up losing projects. And if he’s not seen on TV or the movies, fans may forget he still exists and may change allegiance at a blink of an eye. Is NA ever aware that there are serious pretenders to his throne who will only be too happy to see him fall and dethroned? The worst would be the physical effects of alcohol, something that the beauty-crazy showbiz industry will not cherish. On hindsight, for all we know, NA might be sending a call for help.

Drink moderately, for drunkenness neither keeps a secret, nor observes a promise. – Miguel de Cervantes

Making a Just Answer

Image courtesy of www.coupons.answers.com 

“Your right ends where my 'new' nose's details begin,” is the best description of the response of a young actress (YA) in a press conference, which is part of the promotion of a movie. The press was briefed not to ask certain questions to the actors of the movie.

Of course, the press will always be the way they are, and at the risk of his/her reputation, a gutsy reporter will always ask the forbidden question in a way that is not too obvious, but will still get the valid reply if asked properly and only if the one asked goes for it. Hence, a gutsy reporter did direct the forbidden question to YA. Specifically, the press was instructed not to ask about the issue about the change in her face, or the “cosmetic surgery” issue.

Therefore, the gutsy reporter asked YA the name of the doctor who did her nose. Credit should go to the young actress in her attempt to avoid answering the question directly. Her reply was “It’s too personal. Next question, please.” She suddenly pulled an 'Anne Hathaway' on the reporter!

Did YA have a nose job? Will her press release say it is just the effect of good make up and lighting? At any rate, YA should not hide the fact if she did have a nose job as her network is known for having talents undergoing transformations either through surgery or through workout for them to look better. However, hardly anyone in local showbiz admits to having surgery, anyway.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple. - Oscar Wilde

The Take of a Fishwife

Image courtesy of www.eschooltoday.com

One day, in one of her teleserye's taping days, Snooty Actress' SA scene would be a fight with a Co Actress CA. Preparations were made, instructions were given as to how the delicate scene would be properly executed.

Before the take, as the scene between SA and CA was very physical, both parties as well as the production staff were apprehensive. It was quite understandable since in scenes like this, it can not be completely avoided that one or both will get hurt no matter how careful the execution is.

When the camera started rolling, it was obvious that SA was getting more beatings from CA, and SA got really hurt. After each take, CA would apologize to her and SA would acknowledge. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief thinking they wouldn't have problems with SA. How wrong they were!

After they were done with all the fight scenes, SA went straight to her dressing room with her assistant in tow -- and there she let out her pent up volcanic rage! In full motor-like fashion, she recited a litany of angst directed towards CA.

SA ranted in Filipino," PI nya! Ang baho-baho ng bibig nya,di muna mag-mouthwash bago mag-take! Amoy pusit na amoy, amoy p** p** (referring to the female genitalia) -- di ko ma-take! PI nya ang baho!

Uh-oh, there you go. May I please go to the powder room?

Family Secrets Revealed

Image courtesy of www.tvlistings.zap2it.com

While we watch soap operas for the drama, we often empathize with the underdog and cheer on whenever the lead character is able to traverse all the obstacles. The audience always loves to see how the rich crumble in these telenovelas. In the case of this wealthy clan, their lives are intertwined with events that can rival the best of these soaps.

As a well-known and well-admired clan, this family has dealings that are not showy or clouded in doubt. In fact, the family is closely-knit, and never has there been a scandal that made the headlines of newspapers. Of course, amidst the fame and wealth, the scandals are well kept secrets. For example, one of its scions (OS) died of mysterious circumstances but stories of alleged drug overdose pervaded at that time. His untimely death abruptly ended a blooming and promising political career. While everyone thought this scion left the world quietly, rumors have it that he left a child.

While this child has now grown, hardly did this child enjoy any recognition from the alleged father’s family. The mother is an ordinary woman who does not seem to have any lineage nor wealth to boast of at that time. Hence, the family allegedly never acknowledged the situation, but never did they deny anything as the affair between the mother and OS was out in the open at that time.

Is this the family secret that would haunt the political career of another scion (AS) of the said family? For the superstitious, is this the family secret that will prevent AS from achieving the position that he has been aspiring? If indeed the child is that of the late scion, should not the family recognize the child’s existence?
