Gotta be the Odd One Out

Any competition can not run smoothly without the mechanics and rules to abide by by the contestants. Both contestants and judges must understand and follow the rules set by the production. But sometimes, as in any production, some things happen beyond anyone’s control that will necessitate bending of some rules to be able to address a particular concern that unexpectedly cropped up along the way. Usually, these are not known to the viewers.
Let's take a particular audition in a new singing competition. According to contest rules and mechanics, the contestants CO who passed the first part of the audition would have the leeway and luxury to choose who they want to mentor them for the rest of the duration of the contest. They were to select from among the lineup of the contest judges who are all competent and top Filipino performers.
As such, all the judges have that awe and powerful appeal to the contestants, such that they were always chosen to be the mentors - except for one M1. M1 who is one of the country's no-nonsense performers and who had won a number of awards, too, was surprisingly unfortunate not to be popular with the CO.
At any time during the taping, there was no single CO who chose and wanted to be mentored by M1. It was really such a pain and a very awkward situation not only for M1, but for the most part to the rest of the judges. They too, felt that something was not right. Expectedly, it was both difficult and embarrassing for M1. The production was so bothered, and felt they had to intervene.
After a meeting, a compromise and adjustment of the rules was arrived at. The solution was that some contestants were asked ahead of time that they would have to choose M1 as mentor. So in the next round, M1 was able to get a fair share of contestants who 'chose' and 'liked' her to guide them along the way.
So that's it. Production had to balance by injecting something that's alien to all. It was something weird and unheard of, but had to be done, nonetheless – whether it is liked or not.

A Man's Fantasy
Image courtesy www.thewayitcouldbe.com
Mostly male visiting tourists, athletes or just any traveler would normally look out for the hottest men and women to complete their ‘exploit.’ The operative word here is “booking.” The word booking takes on a different meaning when it pertains to the world’s oldest profession.
Generally, whether tourists or locals, booking is common among celebrities, gays, businessmen, and the like. It has leveled up long ago as a form of entertainment - an SOP (standard operating procedure) to close a business deal, to give as a gift to clients or friends, to ‘baptize’ an innocent for a rite of passage to manhood and a host of other reasons and/or justifications. Depending on your budget, you can have the hottest and the ordinary-looking players, as the case maybe.
Famous people, usually celebrities command a bigger fee to get booked. Locally, there are a lot of them around. Those without regular projects engage in this as a sideline for added income.
Popular and gifted siblings PS and GS have allegedly become trade players even before they entered the entertainment industry. They are quite known in the ‘trade’ and both have famous and wealthy clients who call on a regular basis. A recent client was an international athlete IA who came to the country for a series of engagements.
As is common practice, IA was asked by colleagues if he wanted to get some booking. He was shown a list of photos to select, he chose PS. On the night of their tryst, the big and playful IA was not pleased with PS, he wanted something more from her but was not there. In exasperation, he told her bluntly, “ Go find and tell your sister to come here. I want her big B right now!
PS did as told, and after a while, came sister GS smiling, willing and able to fulfill IA’s desires.

Every Deal is a Joy that Bears Value
Image courtesy of www.ddkays.wordpress.com
Showbiz to most people is the ultimate dream to fame and fortune, an answer to their misery, want and deprivation. To most watchers it is an addiction, an opium, a cult. A passport to instant riches if you are extremely lucky. The biblical phrase, “Many are called but few are chosen, ” also applies aptly in our local entertainment world.
Since there are many gifted and talented stars, not everyone manages to get a slice of the small pie. There is certainly a big gap for supply versus demand - many stars waiting for only a few projects available. So if you do not want to be caught flat-footed, you got to do your homework and learn to be smart.
To get projects, some stars resort to being ‘buddies’ with the “powers that be,” so to speak. Still others go beyond being just ‘buddies’ – if you get the drift. While still others go the safer route. Like this handsome but not so young actor HA who has to do some expensive gift-giving to a network top gun TG.
Reportedly, HA‘s projects just come and go, which is quite understandable since he is not that bankable anymore and as such had already seen better days. HA is a family man and needs every project to keep his family safe and sound. Thus to be able to get some favors, he and his manager decided to woo TG by giving him an expensive art piece. TG liked it so much and had it displayed in his new home.
Soon after, HA got word that he would be cast in the network’s newest project. So there you go: different strokes for different folks.

May - December Love: Mystica, 45, Marries 23 - year old Kid
Image courtesy of www.interaksyon.com
Singer-actress Mystica, 45, married 23-year-old actor-model Kid Lopez, whose career she is managing, in civil rites at the Aberdeen Court, Great Eastern Hotel on Monday.
Lately, Mystica has been managing a stable of talents, including a girl group called the Mystic Angels and a boy band called the Mysticos. Kid Lopez, whose real name is Edwin Nuas, is among her new talents.
The 22-year age gap separating the bride and groom has raised many eyebrows, considering that Mystica has a 26-year-old son from a previous relationship.
But true to her penchant for controversy, the singer known for doing splits is unfazed.
“With that gap na half my age I never expect I’d fall in love with someone like him. It was really fate, tadhana,” said the woman whose real name is Ruby Rose Villanueva.
“Minsan lang po ito sa buhay namin. Kahit ano na po sabihin nila we dont really care. What matters is we are together and both happy!” she added.
How did they fall for each other?
Mystica admitted that as manager and talent, their relationship dynamic started as one of mother and son. But one night it developed into something less innocent, according to Kid.
“Uuwi na po sana ako nun. Hindi ako nagpaalam ng personal, sa Facebook lang. Tapos, hindi po niya ako pinauwi. Sabi niya wala siyang kasama sa kwarto,” he said with a laugh.
“That was a joke!” Mystica said, with a bigger laugh.
Now that they are husband and wife, are they planning to have a baby soon, assuming that she would still be able to conceive at her age?
“It would be so unfair to him na hindi ko siya mabigyan ng anak, so kung ilan ang darating go tayo riyan,” she quipped.

His Jangled Musical Notes
Image courtesy of www.capetowntoday.co.za
There's this notoriety in networks NE to make its popular
stars do something else that is not in their line of expertise. To showcase
them right away in public without utmost preparation becomes a major
embarrassment especially for the stars concerned.
For example, when a star ST becomes very popular via a hit
teleserye, you can already predict what the next move of NE
would be: have the star record a song or even an album without ample amount of
preparation. Or it can be the other way
around: the popular winner in a singing contest is made to star in a teleserye even if ST can barely act at
all, or is not yet ready for it. It is
okay to be multi-talented, but to rub these ill-prepared ST's in on the
public's conciousness is really punishing both for the stars and the viewing public.
During a recent event in a big mall, a popular and talented
actor TA was there to promote his album. Expectedly, a lot of people went to
see and hear him sing live. He sang a cut from his album before a very
enthusiastic audience. However, midway into the song, TA was not able to hold
his own as he sang out-of-tune. The audience was tolerant for a while and even
showed polite appreciation.
However as TA was at it, his singing went haywire and the
polite crowd became unforgiving this time. TA did not expect what was
forthcoming – he was booed right then and there! Shocked and embarrassed, TA
retreated backstage as soon as he finished his number. Indeed – what a tense number!
“You got to know your limits. Once is enough,
but you got to learn. A little caution never hurts anyone.” ~Haruki Murakami
