Jeopardized Gig

Over the past years, many celebrities have remained as so-called brand ambassadors and their faces have long been associated with a particular item. On the one hand, the status seems glamorous and lucrative given the hefty talent fees and freebies from the company. On the other hand, the position has certain limitations stipulated in the contract. For example, couples are supposed to maintain a happy relationship and not involved in any scandal that could test family values. Similarly, a single endorser must remain single throughout the duration of a contract. Celebrities who survive the terms of the contract are often rewarded with a renewal and that means, a bargaining chip for the celebrity as well.

Unfortunately, certain celebrities are under fire, as their behavior or at least, public perception has geared toward the negative. For example, a celebrity involved in a video scandal might lose all his/her endorsement. Hence, when a controversy hit Network Celebrity (NC), the buzz in the industry is that advertisers are reviewing her endorsements. Controversies are sure ways to slow down endorsement opportunities.

In the case of NC, one of her endorsements has allegedly put on hold a campaign that she and Her Partner (HP) had already completed filming. The said commercial was supposed to be aired any time this year. However, the company has been affected even prior to the airing of the said advertisement. Netizens have sent messages to the company that were not in favor of NC. Hence, the negativity in its social media accounts, was enough to make the company think twice, as a backlash might happen if the ad pushes through. Consequently, product sales and company image will be affected. As to NC being dropped as an endorser of the company is not confirmed, as only the said campaign with HP has been affected.

Repost: Joshua Garcia Hurt Over Controversy Surrounding Julia Barretto

Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto are no longer a couple, but that hasn’t stopped the actor from being supportive of his former girlfriend amid a controversy romantically linking her with their fellow Star Magic artist, Gerald Anderson.

“JoshLia,” as they’re fondly called by their legion of fans, announced their change of status to being “best friends” in late June, following weeks of rumors that they have broken up.

Barretto’s ties with Anderson, her leading man in the romance film “Between Maybes,” became the subject of speculation in mid-July when the actor’s girlfriend of three years, Bea Alonzo, hinted of infidelity in her relationship with an Instagram post about having had “enough.”

Alonzo’s visible Instagram activities, including liking posts alleging an affair between Barretto and Anderson, led to the onscreen partners becoming the target of criticisms and allegations of cheating.

Alonzo has since revealed that Anderson did not accord her a formal breakup and “just started not talking to me.”

While Barretto’s mother Marjorie and sister Dani have already denied that she was a factor in the separation, the actress has notably remained tight-lipped despite persistent accusations.

Garcia, who just recently wrapped filming the zombie flick “Block Z” with Barretto, said he is “hurt” for his ex-girlfriend amid the intrigues tagging her as a third party.

“Siyempre, naging karelasyon ko rin si Julia. Nasasaktan ako for her, sa nangyayari, pero I think makakabangon naman siya,” Garcia told ABS-CBN News’ MJ Felipe on Thursday, just before the actor’s departure for the US for an “ASAP” show in San Jose, California.

Asked whether he believes the accusations, Garcia said: “Hindi ko masasagot ‘yan, e. Siguro, lahat ng mga tao may kani-kaniyang opinyon about sa nangyaring isyu.”

Barretto arrived shortly after Garcia at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Thursday afternoon. Inside, they were photographed together, as seen in snaps released by “ASAP” on its official social media channels.

The two also appeared to be constant companions as they arrived in the US on Friday (Manila time), with photos showing them seated together on a shuttle, among others.

Garcia had earlier sent Barretto words of encouragement via text message, as seen in a screenshot posted by the actress on July 24.

“Malalampasan mo ‘yan. I know you, you’re the strongest girl na nakilala ko,” he told Barretto at the time.

Heart Evangelista’s Sister, Camille Ongpauco, is Single

According to a reliable source, Camille Ongpauco, the sister of Heart Evangelista, is technically single. In 2016, Camille married Martin Rosario, her long-time boyfriend, in a civil wedding held at a garden in Cavite. However, after the ceremony, the two were informed that there was a technical error in their documents.

The couple had to rectify the error to the point of approaching each of their godparents to sign the new documents again. In the process of fixing their papers, the couple encountered problems, which led to losing interest and sadly, falling out of love. Technically, Camille’s marriage to Martin was null and void.

Three years later, the presence of Andrew Wolff in the birthday celebration of Heart and Camille’s father was questioned. Netizens were quick to accuse Camille of playing around, not knowing that her “marriage” and relationship with Martin was over. Meanwhile, Andrew has never married and thus, he and Camille are free to be together.

Relocation Collapse

Image courtesy of www.en.prothomalo.com

Everything was set for the supposed transfer of Network Actor (NA), as the rumors were loud after several months of not having a meaty assignment and moving on to other fields of interest. The offer was tempting and his Future Station (FS) had plans for his career move. After all, FS would make sure that NA would feel at home with them. NA suddenly showed up in his Old Network (ON).

According to insiders, the contract was indeed ready and signatures were the only missing items. FS had agreed to the demands of NA, such as having a high increase in his talent fee compared to his former pay with ON. However, the terms of his contract reached Seasoned Actor (SA). Years ago, FS moved heaven and earth to acquire the services of SA. FS gave in to his demands and soon, his projects came one after the other. Even his time for movies depended on his schedule with the network. Thus, SA prioritized his appearances in FS more than anything else.

As soon as SA found out that NA was going to receive double his income, SA made a call to Favorite Executive (FE) and told her of what he found out. FE then called the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of hiring NA to ask for the contract, as she wanted a review of the details. After studying the terms, FE decided to drop the hiring of NA. OC could not do anything, as higher management already spoke.

When NA found out that the deal was dead, he talked to ON, who had learned that he almost made a big move. As a good actor cannot be left out in the cold, ON offered NA a deal. This time, as there was now a question of loyalty, NA was offered a smaller talent fee and a role that was not as huge as his previous ones. Rather than disappear in oblivion, NA accepted the offer.

Incidentally, SA seems to have some power these days, as rumors have it that he has a secret special relationship with the much-married FE.

Repost: Gerald Anderson Reveals He is Wooing Julia Barretto

By: Ricky Lo

This is the story of a boy and a girl, two right people who meet at the right place at the right time. The girl is going through “rough sailing” (may pinagdadaanan) with her boyfriend. The boy gives the impression that he and his girlfriend are okay (smooth sailing, that is). Away from their respective loves, they find themselves in a place conducive to “what-might-be.” The boy willingly lends the girl his shoulder to cry on. Cry she does. And you know what happens next…

Is that the plot of Between Maybes, the recently shown Blacksheep movie starring Gerald Anderson and Julia Barretto?

No, it’s not the story of Gerald and Julia’s onscreen characters; it’s the real story of how Gerald and Julia fell for each other while shooting the movie in Japan in the same manner that…remember?...John Lloyd Cruz and Angelica Panganiban found love in Vietnam while shooting the Kapamilya film 24/7 in Love?    

The Funfare DPA (yes, it means Deep Penetration Agent, for the information of Maricel Laxa who was wondering what those initials meant) is chronicling the events to put in proper perspective the now much-talked-about Gerald-Julia love story that has caught the fancy of showbiz-watchers here and abroad.

“It’s summer love,” related the DPA who waxed romantic, “and it began to bloom amidst the ephemeral sakura (Cherry Blossoms). Obviously, after the shoot, the two stars didn’t bid each other sayonara even as the sakura gently vanished as if into thin air.”

As early as end of May, rumors circulated that there was a crack in Julia’s relationship with Joshua Garcia and they would “jointly” confirm the rumor and that, despite the split-up, they have remained good friends (for the sake of their forthcoming movie Block Z?).

The whole thing turned messy when Gerald’s girlfriend Bea Alonzo posted a cryptic message (“You can’t make the same mistake twice, the second time you make it, it’s not a mistake anymore, it’s a choice. ENOUGH.”) on her Instagram and that made the world feel for her.

While Gerald and Julia (and those around them) wisely kept mum on the matter, the DPA confirmed reports that when Julia’s dad Dennis Padilla saw Gerald, he asked Gerald pointblank, “Are you courting my daughter?” And, according to the DPA, Gerald was man enough to say, “Yes.” Did he insinuate that he and Bea have broken up?

There’s a word that describes Bea’s condition ­— yes, “blindsided.” The new, millennial word for that is “ghosting,” which means that all too suddenly your partner doesn’t bother with you anymore and simply disappears like the…sakura?

Which brings us to Paulo Avelino, the sawsawero who got bashed when he posted, “Na-Bea Alonzo na ba kayo?,” #ghosting. Keen observers said that Paulo should know “ghosting” very well since he’s suspected of “ghosting” LJ Reyes, mother of his love son and now happy with Paolo Contis with whom she has a child. They tease Paulo with the derivative question: Na-LJ Reyes na ba kayo? 

Moral of the story? Look before you leap; open your eyes and ears before you open your mouth.

Meanwhile, Joshua has refrained from commenting on the Gerald-Julia issue.

“Why does Gerald attract women, younger and older (including two senior actresses)?” the DPA asked and proceeded to answer it herself, “because he’s charming, nurturing, caring and is ever ready to offer his shoulder to cry on.”

Let’s face it: Gerald is showbiz’s current lady killer!
