When Sweet Roses Paint Betrayal
Image courtesy of www.bubblews.com
Not
so young hunk actor HA started in the entertainment business for many
years now, beginning as just one of those sex symbols undressing his
sexy leading ladies on screen while baring those wavy muscles before the
admiring public. Through the years he has shown admirable talent apart
from just being physically endowed.
His
huge fans and followers alike swooned over him especially during the
height of his popularity. He was fortunate enough to be handled by the
most competent and brilliant of directors who honed his talent and
starred him in projects that slowly showcased his marvelous
transformation as a serious actor.
Being young, sexy and in-demand, HA was of course desired and fantasized by girls and gays alike. And HA seems to be cool and accepting of just about anything never allowing anything to limit him – including gay propositions. One of his early benefactors was a well-known businessman BM. HA and BM who were together for many years were mutually in love with each other with the generous BM spoiling HA with everything HA fancied.

HA and BM who were together for many years were mutually in love with each other with the generous BM spoiling HA with everything HA fancied.
But
some good things never last, as the cliché goes – and off they parted
ways amicably. The adventurer HA went hopping from one relationship to
another whoever gets his fancy. Inspite that HA’s not that young
anymore, he remains to be irresistible. HA willingly obliged to be the
latest conquest of a controversial scion of showbiz royalty:
Jane-came-lately JC, who also happens to be one of BM’s “amigas,” -
something that didn’t sit well with BM.
Although
feeling hurt and betrayed by JC, BM couldn’t care less anymore even and
especially so that the wandering HA has hopped once more to a new
benefactor – a quiet and unassuming director DR, another offspring from a
conservative showbiz family.

Jodi Sta Maria's New Love
As if taking a cue from her daytime kilig-serye “Be Careful with My Heart” character, Maya, who aspires to be a flight stewardess, Jodi Sta. Maria has just recently discovered her new love: Traveling. “As much as possible, kung kaya, gusto ko sana every 2 months nakakalabas ng country, or if not naman out of the country, sa loob ng bansa,” Jodi shares. She finds it more worthwhile to spend on travel than to shop for designer shoes and bags. She takes her son, Thirdy, along with her travels, too, so he will grow up culturally educated. “Traveling is a wonderful experience to know and learn more about other countries' culture,” she says.
For her travel essentials, she admits “'Di pwedeng 'di ko bitbit ang Gluta-C products because I use the lotion everyday. Pati ung soap and toner. Kahit tingnan 'nyo pa yung travel bag ko!” Her personal favorite is the Gluta-C Intense Whitening Lotion with SPF 25 because it feels light, provides sun protection and is easily absorbed by the skin.
Jodi has been the beautiful face and body of the whitening skincare line, Gluta-C, for years now. In her recent endorsement shoot for the brand, she excitedly raved about Gluta-C's latest products – the Gluta-C Underarm and Bikini Gel and Gluta-C Body Scrub, “I really use them. And I don't endorse products na 'di ko naman ginagamit.” No wonder, celebrity make-up artist Juan Sarte found it so easy to enhance Jodi's effortlessly-radiant look. It was a breeze, too, for sought-after hairstylist Brent Sales and celebrity photographer Raymund Isaac to bring to life the concepts.
There is no doubt that Jodi Sta Maria will reach new places and heights with the rate her career is soaring. It feels like a lifetime ago since Jodi first graced our TV screens during her Tabing Ilog days but it's as if she has not changed a bit – still looking so young and radiant. And the secret to this? Jodi shares, “Looking young is something that comes from within. So, if you have peace and you're happy, it will radiate.”

Bad Attitude
Image courtesy of www.wearethepractitioners.com
The new young actor (NY) has one of the most amiable faces among the latest talents of this big network. NY, a very positive individual, is an ideal person having prioritized education first over a career in showbusiness. However, unknown to most, behind his amiable face is a crass personality.
NY
treats his assistants AS as though they are his “slaves.” His requests
sound like orders, which make his AS feel as though they are very
incompetent and stupid. For example, when one of his AS made a mistake
in getting the black shoes NY wanted, he reprimanded the AS along with
curse words. NY almost threw the wrong pair of shoes at the AS. The AS
could not reason out that NY has several black shoes and did not specify
the brand he wanted.
In
another incident, NY was looking for his hair wax. He insisted that the
wax was placed in one of his bags somewhere. When the AS said he could
not find the wax, NY nonchalantly insisted that it was there and that AS
did not look hard enough. He even added that AS should look with his
eyes and not with his mouth. After fruitless searching, AS thought of
opening NY's bag beside him - and voila, the wax was there all along!
Instead of apologizing, NY accused AS of placing the wax in the bag to
embarrass him.
AS soon realized
he could not take NY's bad treatment anymore and left. AS was very
disgusted as NY have become a monster towards the little people in the
industry.
To
make matters worse, NY allegedly does not bother with the basic needs
of his assistants, such as food for instance. At one point, when NY was
fasting out of his religious obligations, he did not bother to feed his
assistants and told them that since he was fasting, they should then
fast as well.
Perhaps
NY's management should step in and teach him to treat his support staff
humanly. After all, the success of any actor also hinges on the quality
of people who work for him. NY should take the cue from his relative,
who, despite his huge status in the industry, is known to be very
decent, supportive, and respectful of people, especially to his very own
staff.

Don't Rouse or be Terrified
Image courtesy of www.awordaday.net
Truly, showbiz is an
entertainment industry – the public gets entertained on the various quirks of
the stars in it. Haven’t we heard and read all the weird and peculiar behavior
of most celebrities on and off camera? Whether intentionally done or not, it brings
some people to conclude that showbiz life and the kind of work that actors do
have a lot to do with it.
After several scary brushes with the lead actor LA, production people PP in a hit teleserye HT have
learned their lesson. They know for sure how not to turn the quiet lead actor LA into someone violent and creepy – and how?
LA is so addicted to sleep that it is a big sin for anyone to
wake him up. Don’t ever make the mistake of rousing him because you don’t know
what will hit you – literally. You surely don’t want to see an incredible hulk in the flesh looking at you
eye to eye!
During taping breaks, LA would prefer to sleep inside his
van than do anything else. His sleep would often be a long one by normal taping
break standards. Yet PP would be so
scared of rousing LA every time he
needed to be called for his scenes. They said how they wish there would be an
invisible carpet everytime they would do
it. And who wouldn’t be afraid?
In one of the episodes of HT, sleeping LA was summoned by
the director to be called to shoot for his scenes. The very scared PP went to LA’s
van to wake him up, and guess what happened?
As soon as LA opened his eyes, they turned red and soon after, he went
berserk, throwing on the air everything his hands could lay on. Flying objects?
Oh yes, some people on the set said they
were reminded of those scenes on the movie Deep Impact. Well, it would have
been a perfect scene any director would love
to catch on film.
On the other hand, lead actress LA was smarter, ironically.
She’s very good at calculations and made sure she couldn’t be made to work when
her time was up. If her call time was 12nn that meant her pack-up time was 12am
of next day. Whether all her scenes would be shot or not, she called it a day…no
more, no less. Smart eh?!

speak of. Work hard at working smart. “ ~ Fashion PULIS

Inday Barretto: Gretchen Did Not Work for Us
Source: www.abs-cbnnews.com
MANILA – The matriarch of the Barretto family continued her tirade against daughter Gretchen Barretto, denying that the actress took on the role of parent to her siblings and even gave up her schooling to enter showbiz.
In a statement she sent to “The Buzz” on Sunday, Inday Barretto urged Gretchen to “stop putting yourself up by putting us down.”
“Just remember that my house, which you call less than your criteria, was what gave you a roof over your head, food on your stomach, clothes on your back when you were a nobody and had nothing! All you wanted was to hitch your wagon to a star and the world gave you the moon as well,” she said in the statement.
“You still have to bash us with lies and pasikat up to when Dad and I are about to close our eyes! The trouble with lies is you have to tell more lies to back it up!” she continued.
Furthermore, Mrs. Barretto responded, point by point, to Gretchen's assertion that she worked in showbiz to help her family.
“Issues and allegations: 1. Gretchen stopped schooling to stand as bread winner of the family - to pay for the rent, electricity, food and schooling of her siblings!
“Answer: At the age 12 modelled for a line of clothing, P1,000 per pictorial. At 14, she did a movie ‘14 Going Steady’ P20,000 per project, followed by two more movies I cannot remember. One or two more endorsements, maybe of the same amount. A total of P100,000. By the time she joined showbiz, three of her siblings were already done with school and well on their way,” she said.
“She was only with us for three years. By the time she changed into adult roles and earning better, she was already living in with (basketball player Joey) Loyzaga and our family were already in Iloilo to spend little time with my 90-year-old mother. And Daddy wanted to go into prawn farming,” she added.
Mrs. Barretto said they may not be rich but she also maintained that they were never poor.
“Our family had a comfortable lifestyle long before she was born and up to the present. No way will we let a 12-year-old child work for us. Family and friends can attest to that,” she said.
The feud among the Barrettos started when the family matriarch released a statement last Wednesday, announcing that she is disowning Gretchen.
Mrs. Barretto defended her daughter Claudine against the allegations of Gretchen, who had supposedly criticized her younger sister for "bashing" their niece Julia on Instagram.
Following this, their brother Joaquin also issued his own statement claiming it was actually Gretchen who once “put food on the table, paid for the rent, electricity and hospital bills when dad suffered.”
Gretchen and Claudine have yet to speak on the issue.
Gretchen's Best Friend Counters Sister's Claims
Source: www.abs-cbnnews.com
MANILA – The best friend of actress Gretchen Barretto came to her defense amid an ongoing feud involving the actress, her siblings and their mother Inday.
In an interview with “The Buzz” aired on Sunday, former actress Tanya Montenegro countered most the claims of Gretchen’s sister Gia, who collaborated with their mother’s earlier statement.
“Hindi sila rich, hindi rin sila poor. Middle. Beautiful houses? Those houses were rented. Contrary to the [statement] na they had chauffeur, no because it was always Jay-Jay, their brother, who would take them to school in their yellow car,” Montenegro said.
When they were in grade school, Montegro shared that Gretchen would normally go to school with only enough food for recess or lunch but it was very seldom that she had enough for both.
Montenegro said there was also a time when Gretchen was not able to take their exams because of her unpaid tuition.
“I begged my mom ‘Baka you can come and talk to Father Rodriguez and ask if he can just allow Gretchen to take the exams kasi they are sending her out of the room,’” she said.
As for Gia’s statement that each of them had nannies, Montenegro said: “As far as I recall from the stories of Gretchen sa akin, they never had a maid. They had one that was living with them and they call her Naning.
Naning is her mom's sister. Iyon ang nag-alaga sa kanila.”
Gia earlier said that Gretchen’s claims -- as revealed in their brother Joaquin’s statement -- of financial support for their family have no basis since their father always managed to provide.
“For the record, we may not have been so rich but we were never poor. 1. We live in big beautiful houses. 2. Slept in carpeted, air-conditioned rooms. 3. Food galore. 4. Put in an exclusive school. 5. Members of exclusive country clubs. 6. We each have our own yayas, yours even a midwife. 7. Driven by chauffeurs," Gia said.
Meanwhile, Montenegro said Gretchen loves all her nieces and nephews, as much as Claudine does.
“Si Gretchen, sobra niyang mahal lahat ng pamangkin niya. Actually ang tawag ng mga pamangkin niya sa kanya, Mama Gretchen. Even kay Claudine, mama din. Very close sila sa mga bata eh,” she said.
According to Montenegro, what Gretchen went through when she was still young was a no joke.
“She grew up na emotionally deprived of love from the parents. Because if you noticed Gretchen, when she sees a friend, she's very huggy. Si ‘I love you’ iyan eh. When I asked her before why, sabi niya 'Wala lang because I never got this from my parents. I never felt love. I was never hugged,'” she shared.
Asked if she thinks Gretchen was abused as a child, Montenegro said: “Ako ang masasabi ko sa mga nakita ko, there was one time, I will never forget this, I saw her in school siguro mga grade 6. She had a big bruise here (near her jaw). Sabi ko what happened? Tapos she started crying. Hindi ko na pinilit na magkwento kung bakit. I saw that bruise.”
The feud among the Barrettos started when the family matriarch released a statement last Wednesday, announcing that she is disowning Gretchen.
Mrs. Barretto defended her daughter Claudine against the allegations of Gretchen, who had supposedly criticized her younger sister for "bashing" their niece Julia on Instagram.
Following this, Joaquin and Gia also addressed the issue. Gia sided with her mother and youngest sister, while Joaquin sided with Gretchen, saying Claudine's "condition" should be addressed.
Gretchen and Claudine have yet to speak on the issue.
Gretchen Barretto Mum on Reconciliation with Mother Inday
Source: www.abs-cbnnews.com
MANILA – Socialite-actress Gretchen Barretto kept her silence when asked if she is open to patch things up with her mother Inday, who recently disowned her and called her a “liar.”
"I have no answer for a possibility of reconciliation," Gretchen said in a statement she sent to “The Buzz.”
According to "The Buzz" host Boy Abunda, Gretchen is choosing to keep silent amid their ongoing family feud because she is still hurting.
Abunda said Gretchen is saddened because the controversy her family is currently embroiled in reminds her of all the difficult times she had to endure in the past.
While she has yet to speak on the issue, Gretchen, on Thursday, took to the image-sharing site Instagram to express her gratitude to everyone who continuously support her in this trying time.
“Thank you. I'm won't deny I'm hurting but I thank God still for all those who continue to love me,” she said.
Mrs. Barretto released a statement on Wednesday defending her daughter Claudine against the allegations of Gretchen, who had supposedly criticized her younger sister for "bashing" their niece Julia on Instagram.
Julia was recently introduced as an artist of Star Magic, the ABS-CBN talent management firm that launched Claudine to stardom until her transfer to another network in 2009.
Gretchen's brother, Joaquin Barretto, coming to the defense of his sister, issued a statement on Wednesday night, expressing shock over their mother's allegations.
He also appealed to his mother to "put a stop to this before our family totally falls apart while there is still something to save."
Meanwhile, Gia, another Barretto sibling, sided with her mom and youngest sister Claudine.
She said Gretchen’s “claims of financial support for this family have no basis, because dad always managed to provide.”
Gia also echoed their mother's appeal to Gretchen to stop hurting their family and just disappear from their lives.
