One By One

Is there a season of exodus of talents now happening in a major network MN? Some are secret, others whispered, still others are openly talked about. There is disgust permeating in the air within MN for the longest time. What is utterly depressing to most is the alleged obvious ‘favoritism’ within MN which has gone beyond tolerable level.

More and more talents are saying that less talented or even talentless stars TS get to clinch more projects vis a vis the others who are obviously more deserving MD - bright, talented, driven and interesting. MD’s reckon that they, the truly committed and passionate artists are left to rot and worse, given crumbs. For them and the rest of the stars, this is certainly not the best way for MN to boost the morale of its talents. To say that the practice is unfair is a big understatement.

Stars complain about the utter disregard/ and or disrespect of MN for the years that they have honed their craft in the industry. MN often focuses on what or who is popular regardless if he/she is still raw for the project or not. They reckon that with MN, it is always a play of numbers, always focusing on particular loveteams that have big fan base but have yet to prove themselves in terms of real talent. The culture has always been about profits, not inculcating the need to further hone one’s craft.

Just because a loveteam is popular means they always get to corner all the big projects. MD’s feel that the system really sucks and very demoralizing. The most talented people cannot function without the right organizational support. They need help. Give it to them so they can meet and exceed expectations. To them, it’s about time that MN gets the message.

The list of talents who are to take the plunge is getting longer. Apart from the two singers who have already jumped long ago to the rival network RN, the others have followed suit, the latest being the one who had a recent sign up. Among those planning a serious turnaround are a young exotic actress who had been without projects for so long, a talented young actor, a good-looking homegrown actor, and a multi-awarded stage actor. Should they jump ship, their presence will definitely be an added boost to the lackluster line-up of talents of RN’s.

Insiders hope that this will not be the trend with MN circle, otherwise the huge loss would boomerang on them, big time.

I Don't Compete, I Kill the Competition

While being physically-challenged will make other girls want to vanish into oblivion, it is not so for this very confident and strong-willed star CS . She began as a child star and rose from there. Inspite of her physical limitations, this diminutive lady is daring enough to be different and be a cut above the rest. Yet she also strives to be wholesome as much as possible.

CS has her share of critics and passionate bashers - who in this industry is safe from haters anyways? She is called names, often the butt of jokes but she just shrugs them off. And why not, she laughs at herself even. She knows she is not a head-turning pretty girl like her colleagues – but she more than makes up for it through her talent – which she knows she has lots of.

Apparently, her bold and strong character is her best asset. It has in fact helped her land some good projects more than her 'prettier' colleagues. In every project, CS does not settle for mediocrity. She always makes sure she would impact and stand out.

Often, she would do things with great abandon regardless whether she gets bashed or not.

At a taping of her show, her male co-stars wondered why their undies were often missing. Turned out, CS was behind it. She would steal every underwear she would see in the dressing room and keep them all, never to be seen again by their owners. Even when found out, she would stand her ground and proudly proclaim that the undies were hers and will never be returned. To date, the boys’ underwear pieces has now become her private collection.

Young as she is, CS is already this naughty. Uh oh…are we in for a big surprise soon?

Not Really Virtuous After All

Image courtesy of www.homeandheritagedesigns.com

Public display of affection or PDA as they are called, is the act wherein two people do an intimate act in public. It could be a couple kissing or two girls holding hands, it is anything that displays affection between two people.

PDA's are part of every relationship but it is something that should be done responsibly so it is best to learn the rules. The limits of what is acceptable and isn’t must be kept in mind. Do not cross the line. As a rule of thumb, keep your PDA limited to things that you can see from other people without feeling the need to turn away. If you don’t want to see others conducting themselves in a certain way, chances are the feeling is mutual.

Holding hands, a goodbye kiss, putting hands on each others’ waist constitute PDA that’s fine and not rude at all. A man placing his hand on her shoulders suggests they’re a couple and not inherently offensive. Anything that isn’t intimate enough and would not make people around you uncomfortable and grossed out is okay.

Excessive babying like two adults feeding each other and grooming one another can upset even the strongest of stomachs. Ass smacks, used sparingly and with humor would be okay but it’s a risky endeavor so might as well do it with caution. Too much PDA is definitely frowned at, majority finds this practice so off especially if being done by people they have high regard for.

Beautiful Host BH and her friend FR have lost a show together allegedly as a result of too much PDA’s on the set. Everyday, the two, who got introduced to each other and whose relationship bloomed while on the show, would kiss passionately, embrace and did other intimate acts as if the set was their private space, to the utter annoyance and discomfort of people around them. Their co-hosts in the show had long been grossed out by the couple’s behavior and thus telegraphed their sentiments to the bosses concerned.

Lesson learned: Couples should act in accordance to the culture of the place they are in. What about you?

After a very controversial and tedious chapter in her life, there is finally quiet and peace in the world of sexy actress SA. Earlier, SA laid low while attending to the case she filed versus a known medical practitioner MP while at the same time fulfilling a big womanly duty. The public was aghast with MP who allegedly violated SA, such that it gravely affected her image as an actress. Despite the unfavorable conclusion of the case, SA has now quietly settled down with her bliss in the arms of a loved one.

But while she feels blissful, heard that all is not well with her legal partner LP who represented her. Heard from the grapevine that LP has been suspended for a year by the organization where he belongs. That means he would not be able to practice his profession as mandated. But what brings that about?

It was learned that MP won a case he filed against LP for malicious mischief. Turned out that during the heat of the controversy with SA and MP, LP went on a media frenzy allegedly concocting all sorts of stories against MP and his family. MP was so enraged, he felt it was too much to bear at that time, and for a practitioner like LP to malign him even more with fabricated stories was something he could not just pass up.

Right now, MP is content at the turnout of the case/s he got involved in. He hopes to renew and restart his life all over again.

Junking the Chronic System

Image courtesy of www.myspace.com

This early, young and privileged starlet YS is showing everyone how it is to fail in showbiz. She is everything a newbie should not aspire to be: bad attitude personified.

The pretty airhead seems to feel that she is entitled to everything, even to episodes of bitchiness at work every so often. Some say that the overbearing attitude comes from the fact that she was made to feel special from the very beginning: spoiled and well-provided for by a close relative CR who is basking in fame and fortune.

At any rate, shouldn’t she be thankful instead that inspite of being talentless, she is lucky to clinch projects owing to her strong connections? Such an edge of not having to sweat it out there to prove herself like some other ordinary Jane’s? Hey girl, even talented veterans strive to be professional and respect their work.

From the grapevine, YS was doing a shoot for a huge cosmetics company. Projects like these are usually costly and challenging in terms of logistics, and yet, YS didn’t seem to prize commitment and professionalism.

From the start, she was making things difficult for the production staff. First, she did not like the make-up to be used on her. Second, she didn’t want to finish shoot because she needed to watch a concert. When her manager was informed about these, no questions were asked - manager put her foot down.

And what did YS do to retaliate? The brat in her surfaced: she sulked and slept, further delaying the shoot.

Showbiz insiders blame the system on why people like YS thrive - raw, talentless, uncommitted, yet exist to be given preferential treatment. Too much too soon. Perhaps it’s about time people concerned realize that it is a self-created problem capable of creating future monsters.

Just Searching For Novelty

This openly gay and moneyed benefactor MB is in cloud 9 with all the successes both in his career and lovelife. Ever since he hit big time, no longer are just projects lining up for him, but also boys who want to be pampered. Yes, he is never lacking of hunky boys to keep him company, to do as he wishes, all at his beck and call. From athletes to actors to dancers, and anyone in between, he wants them all - on his terms.

MB has definitely come a long way since his struggling days in a popular bar. To be fair, he is undeniably talented and smart, but along with that is the built-in bitchiness and arrogance that have become his second name. Some pundits say arrogance comes with territory. That being such comes naturally if you have attained a certain level of success – as one popular politician once said. As long as you can stand up for everything you do and say, there’s no argument with that.

MB is very open about his life, especially his love life. He makes no bones about it - sharing with friends and even fans about his different "conquests." His generosity is unlimited, too, he spoils them. Oh those expensive gifts - big reasons, too, why straights cling to gay relationships. Some get into it for fun and curiousity, but for the most part - it is for the funds of it

MB’s latest toy is a young and good looking member of a popular dance group PD. He and MB met and relationship developed on the countless dance rehearsals MB and PD’s group did together. So enamored is MB of PD that he allegedly suggested to PD to stop working already so that he would be full time and exclusive to him alone and be showered with TLC.

This is quite a big risk on the part of PD who has a robust career as well, but according to the grapevine, the very handsome guy has already succumbed to MB’s wishes..indeed!

Life is a choice, as they say. Either you sleep and dream but let opportunities pass up, or be wide awake and hit the ground running. To MB and PD, it works both ways.

Deal or No Deal

Image courtesy of www.ontiltmagazine.com

Prior to singer and host SH appearance in a variety show VS where she was to promote her finished project, SH’s family member FM laid out some requests (conditions?) to the production team PT of VS. It must be noted that SH is held in high esteem in the show, such that certain requests from FM are given importance as well. FM, despite her overbearing self usually gets away with everything if only for the goodness of SH whom PT and others always take into consideration.

PT knew that certain FM’s requests were difficult to meet. For one, the appearance of SH in VS would coincide with the network’s prized actor PA’s personal celebration that day. Everyone knew that SH and PA are not exactly on friendly terms. Add to that, SH also had issue with a controversial star CS that was believed to be already settled. But FM was still not into her, so she, too, had to go. Those were quite tough for PT. However, PT tried its best to please FM if only for SH. So what were the conditions? Here you go:

Request #1 – SH should have her own solo dressing room

Request #2 – SH’s and PA’s numbers should have a big gap, as in far apart from each other. Definitely SH would come later than PA.

Request #3 – Controversial Star CS would not be present on that day. CS was eventually assigned to do a provincial show.

Requests like these cannot be over-emphasized, yet PT did them just the same, owing to the fact that SH is a valued and major star. It really takes a lot sometimes to deal with the terms of SH in general, and to FM in particular. Yet, the one and only consolation for VS and PT: SH is the piece de resistance. Bar none.
