Another Proof of the Pudding

Most people get blinded by what they see of the stars' onscreen image, unable to connect and see what's really behind it. Overheard from a Close Cousin CC of HA that the main reason for HA and PS break up was that 'sweet' PS got so smitten by a Flirty Relative FR of HA. No, it didnt happen overnight. The teasing and flirting supposedly happened gradually until one day when PS and FR could no longer hold off the call of the flesh and both just melted. CC witnessed everything.
It was CC who relayed to HA what he saw. HA was so furious that he engaged FR to a fist fight. HA, who loved PS so much was never the same after that. He recalled how weak PS was when she was also smitten by a fellow actor who was already in a relationship. It was at that point that HA felt his ego badly trampled.
Reportedly, to feel better and get even at PS, HA courted Young Actress YA who was already then girlfriend to Cute Actor CA. HA was allegedly feeling paranoid of CA and wanted to probe him. He invited him (CA) somewhere in the south where they had a few drinks. One drink too many and both guys could no longer hold their liquor - then one thing led to another.
HA reportedly engaged CA to kneel before him and pleasure him, to which CA willingly obliged. At this point and unknown to CA, HA was already video-recording him! The next day, the said video immediately landed on YA's lap, thanks and no thanks to HA. With the cat now finally out of the bag, YA lost no time and broke off with CA.

Five Years After Death, Michael Jackson's Fortunes Blooming

The self-proclaimed King of Pop was struggling to avoid bankruptcy when he died on June 25, 2009. At the time, he was in rehearsals for a series of comeback shows he hoped would resurrect his earlier jaw-dropping wealth.
But in five years since, the Michael Jackson Estate – which runs his affairs on behalf of Jackson's mother and three children – has earned over $700 million, according to a new book about the singer's business empire.
"Michael Jackson is making more money now, five years after his death, than he had been since the prime of his career," Zack Greenburg, author of Michael Jackson Inc., told AFP.
Die-hard Jackson fans staged a flash mob Sunday ahead of Wednesday's anniversary – when more are expected to pay their respects at the Forest Lawn cemetery just outside Los Angeles, where the pop megastar is buried.
While the business side is going well and fans are celebrating his legacy, it's been a tough few years for his family – both through losing Jackson himself, and because of the frenzy of legal action unleashed by his shock death.
One of the biggest was the criminal trial of Conrad Murray, the doctor who, while treating Jackson for insomnia, gave him the clinical anesthetic propofol that killed him at his Holmby Hills mansion five years ago.
Murray was eventually convicted of involuntary manslaughter and jailed for four years. He was released last October after two years behind bars.
Then came the civil trial brought by Jackson's aging mother Katherine, who sued tour promoters AEG Live claiming they negligently hired an incompetent doctor and drove her son to his death. A jury threw out her claims.
Money after death
But while the family came to grips with their loss, the Michael Jackson Estate, led by executors John Branca and John McClain, got straight down to business five years ago.
Above all, they had to rapidly generate revenues to stave off the massive debts that Jackson had built up in the last five years of his life.
In his heyday, Jackson – whom Greenburg said "fundamentally changed the formula for monetizing fame forever" – was making over $100 million a year, with hits including 1982's Thriller, still the biggest selling album ever.
He had also bought the Beatles back catalogue for $47.5 million in 1985, an investment estimated to be worth $1 billion today.
But the child molestation charges that engulfed Jackson in the mid-2000s brought an end to the good times. Jackson, who temporarily went to live in Bahrain, almost had to sell his beloved Neverland ranch.
In his final years, he was still going on massive spending binges, taking loans on his assets to cover the bills. At the lowest point, his debts totaled some $500 million, forcing him to plan for the doomed comeback concerts in 2009.
After Jackson's death, one of the estate's first money-making ventures was the "This is It" motion picture, patched together from footage of rehearsals for the doomed final tour. The film made some $200 million worldwide.
A few months after his death, Sony and his lawyers signed a record contract said to be worth over $200 million by The Wall Street Journal –foreseeing the release of 7 albums over 10 years.
The estate also did deals with Cirque du Soleil for both a touring show and a permanent show based at the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas.
Only last month, Jackson was back on stage – as a hologram – performing at the Billboard 2014 Music Award event in Las Vegas.
Jackson, or rather his hologram, sang and moonwalked to "A Slave to the Rhythm" recorded in 1991 and included on the recently-released album Xscape, the second since his death, followingMichael in 2010.
Greenburg said the star's financial turnaround, in death, was unprecedented.
"If you look at the numbers, it's actually over $700 million in five years. Over that period of time... no living artist has gotten anywhere close to that," he told AFP.
"Regardless of where the King of Pop's spirit resides, one thing's for sure: Michael Jackson, Inc. is alive and well," he concluded in his book.

Did She Make a Mark?
Image courtesy of www.housete.net
As expected, DA's critics and cynics abound saying that an album for DA was just too much. Haters had a field day bashing her online, all belittling her efforts and wishing the album would be her last.
However, DA's defenders were quick to the rescue, saying that regardless of the intrigues, "DA is undoubtedly a talented actresss and performer and that she can definitely carry a tune."
Overheard that DA was passionate about exploring other avenues for her personal growth. Her friends were with her, and not a few of them supported her album launch. Needless to say, DA worked hard and was all over promoting her album.
Not long after, and to everyone's shock, DA's album turned gold! Observers could not believe how was that possible so soon after its release. The star herself became emotional after she was awarded the Gold Record Award for her debut album having sold more than 7,000 copies!
Soon after the dust has settled, it was learned that a company to which DA is an endorser bought tons of copies of the album to be distributed as perks to its thousands of dealers nationwide, smart uh! But to be fair to DA, she indeed can carry a tune.

The Gutierrez matriarch also aired her side regarding her treatment of Esther at the party when she asked the latter if she wanted to bring home some food. Annabelle says she never intended it as an insult nor a sign she looked down at Sarah's mom. “Hindi ko alam bakit may isyung ganun. Basta kami nagsaya sa party, nakita ko naman sila, akyat siya sa stage, nagpa-picture doon, nakita ko siya masaya naman siya. Yung pag-alok ko ng pagkain sa kanya hindi naman masama yun. Kasi number one kong ginagawa yun. Pag may party lagi akong may baon na Tupperware kasi gusto ko talaga lechon. Hindi ko naman sa kanya muna sinasabi, sa ibang bisita (din), 'Maraming mga tira sa catering. Masarap yung ulam. Gusto niyong mag-takeout?' lahat dun natutuwa, may kanya-kanyang takeout. Nasalubong ko dun si Esther, sabi ko, 'Esther merong maraming tirang pagkain sa catering. Gusto mo mag-takeout? Masarap yung chicken, ganyan ganyan.' Hindi siya kumibo. Hindi ko alam masama na pala loob niya. Tapos hindi naman tira-tira yung pinakain ko, tira-tira sa catering. Sabi ko bakit siya magagalit eh normal naman sa ating Pilipino yung ganun di ba na mag-takeout naman talaga?” she reveals.
Annabelle also says that during the day of Zion's party she showed no indication that she harbored any ill feelings towards them which was why they were all surprised to find out she posted her supposed frustrations on her social media account. “At saka hindi ko akalain na masama ang loob niya kasi after the party tumuloy pa siya sa bahay nila Richard. Nandun kaming lahat, nag-aabang kami sa palabas naming reality show. Hindi ko napansing galit siya sa akin kasi kumain pa siya sa bahay eh. Kumain pa siya sa bahay kasi si Ruffa maraming in-order na food after the party. So nakikain din siya tapos meron siyang kasamang dalawang bisita taga-Geneva. Wala kaming naramdaman buong pamilya na may galit siya sa amin. So nagulat kami the next day Monday, imbis ma-headline yung apo niya, siya yung na-headline. Siguro nga uhaw siya sa publicity. Bayaan mo na siya, nakatikim na siya ng headline, nakatikim na siya ng front page, pero dapat hindi niya ginagamit yung apo niya kasi araw ni Zion yun eh. Dapat hindi siya nakisawsaw sa gulo kasi dapat ang araw na yun araw ng apo niya,” she adds.
On the issue that she is getting unwarranted credit for taking care of baby Zion Annabelle says it is not important for her to be acknowledged as a grandmother. “Bakit ako makikisawsaw sa pag-alaga? Kung mahal niya ang apo niya dapat huwag na siya maninisi kasi ang sinisisi niya lagi kay Sarah bakit nabuntis. Hindi ka ba happy may Zion ka na? Hanggang ngayon lagi niyang sinasabi sa anak niya, 'Bakit ka nabuntis?' ako ay naawa kay Sarah kasi tumawag sa akin si Sarah at umiyak sa akin sa telepono, tumatawag sa akin alas-onse ng gabi nagsusumbong sa akin. Parang anak ko na rin si Sarah at umiyak na rin ako. Sabi ko, ''Day sabihin mo sa nanay mo tanggapin niya na wala ka na sa kanya. Bakit hindi niya matanggap yun? Ako natanggap ko na si Richard wala na sa akin, nasa iyo.' Ngayon sabi ko mahal ko naman si Zion, kinalimutan ko na lahat. Dapat siya kalimutan na rin niya lahat ang mga problemang ganyan,” she advises.
Contrary to speculation that the Lahbatis are banned from entering the Gutierrez household, Annabelle says their doors have always been open to Zion's relatives especially to his grandmother Esther. “Natutulog siya sa bahay ni Richard kaya! Pero once a week lang kaya hindi siya mahal ng bata kasi nakikita siya once a week lang. Ako kasi everyday ako nakikita at niluluto ko pa siya ng pagkain, ako pa ang nagsusubo sa bata. Kaya yung pag-alaga ko sa mga anak ko, ani yung anak ko di ba? Yung pag-alag ko sa kanila yun din ang ginawa ko kay Zion. Ako mismo nagpapaluto ng pagkain para sa kanya, hindi yung pagkain namin, may sarili siyang pagkain,” she admits.
As a parting message to Esther, the controversial stage mom-turned-reality star says she hopes that they can all move on from the issue for the sake of Zion. “Nagulat ako sa iyo 'Day. Kahapon sabi mo pina-stop mo yung interview ng asawa mo dahil mong kausapin na lang nag pamilya para matapos na. Tapusin mo ang sarili mo, hindi naman ako nakipag-away sa iyo eh. At ang pamilya ko tahimik wala kaming gulo, happy kami kay Zion, happy kami sa party.”
Annabelle also reiterates that she will never apologize to Esther because she did nothing wrong. “Anong ikakausap mo sa akin? Kaya gusto mo ako mag-sorry sabi mo satext mo na para magtigil ka mag-sorry ako sa iyo? 'Day, wala akong ipag-so-sorry sa iyo. Wala akong kasalanan, minahal ko ang anak mo, minahal ko ang apo mo, inalagaan ko silang dalawa, anong sorry ang gusto mong malaman sa akin? Wala. Kaya huwag ka na maghintay ng sorry, wala kang maririnig sa bunganga ko na mag-so-sorry ako sa iyo. Wala akong ginagawa, ikaw ang tumahimik na. Nakatikim ka ng publicity di ba? Tama na yan, sobra na yan. Bakit nung kaso ni Sarah nung araw hindi ka nakikiaalam? Akala ko matapang ka. Hindi ka na-headline, hindi ka nakialam. This time iba ang gusto mo, ginagamit mo ang apo mong si Zion. Alam mong sikat na sikat ang apo mo, gusto mo makisawsaw. Sorry na lang, hindi ako mag-so-sorry sa iyo. Mag-post ka ng mag-post, pag hindi ako makatiis, yung tini-text ko sa iyo kahapon ilalabas ko sa Twitter yun, tingnan ko lang.”
