The Art of Choosing
Image courtesy of www.barnesandnoble.com
Coming from a good family before entering the world of entertainment, PA can splurge as much as she wants. However, BF was quite tentative, or hesitant while they were around the store. Hence, she decided to do the next best thing. PA bought herself a piece of jewelry that she liked so much.
Did BF hesitate because he felt now is the time to maximize his resources on his current and expensive endeavor? Of course, BF also has money himself and he could probably afford to buy PA any piece of jewelry, but then, he would be risking being branded as excessive if he did spend and it got leaked out. Or perhaps, he really is just not ready yet to buy PA anything that could be symbolic of a long-term commitment.
Even if other sectors think that PA is more of a “liability” for him, people still get to notice more of BF because of his relationship with the actress. PA provides him with the extra exposure, and perhaps, showbiz friends who can glamour up his popularity (it’s not as if he needs it, anyway).

Is it Time to Say Goodbye?
Image courtesy of www.trulygraphics.com
Looks like the start of the year has become an axing season for this network. Apart from a weekly show that already went off air, one is on the chopping board anytime soon, there is another show AS in the line up that might bid adieu soon.
People will be shocked for sure as AS’s forthcoming fate is not at all being felt even within AS's production team. Yet major players and insiders have expressed same sentiments – that the show is seriously being considered to be removed from airing.
To be fair, AS has been enjoying good ratings. The sad fact according to insiders is that AS is rather difficult to mount and can be really financially draining. Simply put, advertising income can hardly meet the costs of production. Now network heads are meeting up for a replacement soon. Suggested stars are buddies who have recently bonded in a hit project.
The show has survived many controversies, yet it stood tall and AS’ stars to this day stand united with each other. To the credit of the show’s production team, controversies in the past within AS were immediately ironed out so as not to jeopardize the show’s content. But as they say it over and over again, in showbiz, you’re only as good as your last performance. Nothing is ever permanent!

Does He Really Support Film Piracy?
Image courtesy of www.fanpop.com
While training at the gym, DA called his assistant, who came up to meet him. The presence of the assistant called attention as DA might be feeling something and that he might need help. Then, DA was heard instructing his assistant to purchase copies of the latest movies. Since the gym was located at a favorite area of the anti-piracy raids, the other gym clients realized DA had just asked his assistant to purchase pirated movies.
Those who overheard the request of DA were amused that such an actor of his calibre actually patronize such DVDs. DA yet his siblings project a classy and sassy lifestyle. He also has money, given his movie and TV projects, and endorsements. However, DA is also known to be frugal. At any rate, purchasing pirated DVDs is such a turn off. Is patronizing such products, the only “fake” purchases DA makes?

Away from the Crowd

Image courtesy of www.www.awayfromthecrowds.com
Perhaps without wanting to, fun-loving actor (FL) recently found himself in a series of controversies involving different women. In one incident, he was in the midst of the tension between a past and a present relationship. In another, he got the ire of a seasoned actress. In both incidents, FL was the victor.
While these controversies became the favorite topic of the showbiz press, FL was seen holing up in a hotel south of the capital. This relatively new hotel within the metro is far from the center of showbiz happenings. FL was spotted checking in for the weekend. As to who was with FL during that weekend is as important as the reason why he was there in the first place. Was FL evading or waiting for someone? What do you think?

Revealing Thoughts of Talent Manager Towards the Actress
.jpg)
Image courtesy of www.goodreads.com
TM was assumed to be talking to someone asking if one of her talents (OT) could play the villainess role opposite non-singer actress (NA). Although nothing that TM does could still shock people, her feisty reply caught the attention of people nearby. TM began calmly, and then burst into “What? You expect OT to play contravida to NA??? P****g i***g yun!” Then, in a more peeved tone, TM said, “OT has been with your network for some time, and you still cannot give her the stardom she deserves!”
Come to think of it, OT has indeed been with the network for a time ever since she left her original stable. OT has tried doing the range of roles, and even tried following the steps of a sibling by posing in a magazine. Still, she has been relegated to doing supporting roles, and usually she does play a good villain. Meanwhile, NA has been known to have turned down a role that practically made the career of another actress (AA) a household name. At that time, NA was supposed to star with a franchise actor (FA) of the network. NA turned down that role because she said she was prioritizing her studies. Because of that, AA and FA rose to fame, and AA now miles ahead in celebrity status than NA.
We can only speculate why TM labelled NA that way. Was it because NA seems to be having successive relationships? While maintaining her good girl image, the latest is that NA is now happily involved with a scion of a famous showbiz clan.
Perhaps, OT can learn a thing or two from respected American actor, Sidney Poitier, “A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.”

Threat to the Production Leads to Removal?
.jpg)
Image courtesy of www.dragonflyink.com
During a studio tour, visitors got a good view of how things were run in a network. Perhaps the success of this network is in the independence of its program departments that are segregated based on the genre. On that day, the visitors noticed that the point person (PP) of the comedy group (CG) seemed to be a bit irate. However, being a professional, PP toured the group and gave a glimpse of the responsibilities that go with the work.
The mobile phone of PP rang, and apparently, PP was informed of a minor problem with the audience during the taping of a comedy show. One of the audience raised a dirty finger, which the camera captured. PP sighed with relief as that part could be edited. Of course, PP had to be careful as the network would not want a repeat of the nonchalant cursing of a studio audience in their live show.
After a while, the phone rang again. This time, the tour group saw how PP got more irate. One of the staff called PP to inform the head that virile actor (VA) threatened not to show up in the taping of his comedy show if his drama series will not be returned to its original time slot. PP had to call VA and explain to him that the decision of the drama department is not within PP’s powers. PP had to beg VA to stay with the comedy show, but based on her reaction, VA seemed to be adamant to leave the comedy show if his condition will not be granted.
Then, PP blurted out, to the shock of the tour group, “Well, if you do not want to return to the show, fine! I’ll just look for your replacement!”
Now, does VA think he is really that important to the network? VA already did a few actions that made viewers and netizens uncomfortable and turned off recently. Of course, his network did not have an official statement regarding his stunts, and it was assumed that management was cool about them. Incidentally, the comedy show has garnered awards, commendable ratings, and an indefinite run, while his drama series is also garnering ratings but has a more definite period for running.
As we ask if VA will make good on his threat, he was missed in the last episode, and a quick check on the wikipage of the comedy show has interesting information – the absence of VA in the current cast list. Moreover, his drama series is still on a later time.
The once invincible golfer, Tiger Woods, seems to have learned that “money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.” Will VA ever learn?

It Pays to Keep Your Cool

Every election campaign season is a test of patience and endurance both for the candidates and the electorate as well. The candidates to survive the agonizing rigors of the campaign trail, and the electorate to endure the kind of candidates' profiles thrown at them – those that they see and hear on television, radio, and in social media every minute of their waking hours.
Candidates make sure no stones are unturned to be able to get that much-coveted seat. All that dancing, singing, “smiling like idiots” (to quote from Sen. Miriam Santiago) are clear manifestations as to the extent these candidates will go through for those very precious votes. Needless to say, the bottomless cash that keep changing hands from the top one up there to the lowliest kid on the street.
If only for these, elections are definitely more fun (and more funds) in the Philippines.
If you have insufficient cash and connections, it will be very hard to keep up with the game. That is why candidates take years to prepare and strategize. Strategizing will not only need money, but tons of patience as well. Veterans or newbies alike, candidates need a lot of exposure in all areas of media – print, radio, tv, social networks. Constant and relevant media exposure is battle half-won.
At a taping for a new network program for election candidates, a Political Reelectionist couldn’t hide his disgust and impatience after having been made to wait for his turn to be interviewed on the program. He was complaining about the long wait and wanted to be put on cue right away. Program staff had already explained to him that such couldn’t be accommodated since it was on a “first come-first served “ basis. But PR wouldn’t hear of it and without any warning, he walked out of the show -- still ranting non-stop.
All candidates go through a lot of sacrifices. Yet this early, PR wants to feel special. Wonder why he had to behave that way. Hasn't his years of battle to win a struggle not taught him that patience is indeed a virtue?

The Shocking Revelation
Image courtesy of www.store.samhainpublishing.com
Other management terms and conditions were likewise unfavorable to VT from the very beginning. But since VT and VTC did not know any better then, they just went with it and inked that contract with TM.
Years later, VTC got wind of the enormous discrepancy in VT's real income versus the figures declared to them by TM. VTC confronted him right away. But it seemed that there was news blackout because nothing regarding the controversial matter was heard of since.
Fast forward to recent events -- TM, VT and VTC were on a meeting discussing about VT's expiration of management contract. Allegedly, VT and VTC were not keen on renewing anymore, for obvious reasons. As the meeting progressed, TM finally admitted to VTC and VT his guilt over the discrepancies he did in the past that placed VT at a great financial disadvantage. VT and VTC were shocked at the revelation. But knowing how shrewed TM can be, he was able to soften the blow to both VT and VTC.
How? By giving them peace offering.
What kind of peace offering? Cash.
How much? Close to Php 5Million, for all these years.
In exchange for? Renewal of management contract, at least for a year.
For VT and VTC: Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourselves. You cannot draw to yourselves more than you think you are worth. ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Who is to say that TM won't outsmart them again? "The longer a person does the wrong thing, the harder it is for him to do the right thing.”

Dare to Bare
Image courtesy of www.facebook.com
In the glitzy world of showbiz, not all men are created equal. Some young and good looking men out there don't get as much opportunities no matter how hard they try. On the other hand, there are those who are a lot senior in age, yet one is surprised that they get more breaks and favors. What gives that good fortunes and luck keep smiling at them?
This Hot Hunk HH never had it so good. He seems to have it all - right timing and perfect networking. Not to mention - strategies that can only come from someone who had been polished from all the many experiences in his life. HH who has nothing really physically outstanding except his to-die-for body had been getting the breaks since the time he entered showbiz.
HH's peers who are younger and are more appealing can't help but turn green with envy. And why not? Lucky HH had starred in big projects opposite the hottest female stars in town, given enviable endorsements and tv shows. What's more to ask? You'll be surprised, HH doesn't know how to say No. He seems wired to accept whatever comes his way -- yes, as in everything.
Recently, HH's manager had booked him for a night with a rich Asian businessman. You read it right -- client is a He who willingly agreed to pay the fee asked for by HH. The deal was finalized at a staggering Php850,000 -- for one night! For the uninitiated, the total fee could have been Php1Million -- less Php150,000 for the agent's commission I assume?
A man who does not regard himself as gay, but who is prepared to do "it" with male clients for money, is sometimes called "gay for pay." Having said that, is HH now the new entrant into the world's oldest profession? So smart of him -- HH really works hard for the money.

To Sell or to Keep the Gifts?
Image courtesy of www.smoothtransitionsroanoke.com
DS and EC are now victims of their own personal circumstances, made even worse by the fact that they simply can't avoid being together. Allegedly, DS' disgust towards PR has reached fever pitch these days, and that she doesn't want to be reminded anymore about anything related to him. As in everything that is connected to PR, DS wanted them out of her sight pronto.
Thus one day, she gathered all the expensive gifts (there were tons of them) that PR had given her when they were still a couple. She had them all returned and delivered to PR. PR although shocked, had no choice but to accept them all, yet didn't have any idea what to do with them.
When EC found out about the returned gifts, she could not believe how plenty and expensive they were. So, from out of the blue, she volunteered to PR that she would take care of them. She came up with the "brilliant" plan of selling them and donating the proceeds to charity. No one would really know for sure though as to how EC really felt when she saw all those gifts of PR to DS.
Was EC's gesture a way to assuage a personal hurt -- or something with vested interest -- or both? Whatever her reasons, the end is the same -- she gets to have the cake and eat it, too. The big question now is, what will happen to the unsold items? Does she get to keep them? You guess is as good as mine!

Moderating One's Greed
Image courtesy of www.newgrounds.com
When networks employ child star talents to ink management contract with them, it is imperative that special provisions are in place to make sure that their rights as children are protected. The government has been strict on this as contained in the provisions of DOLE ( Department of Labor and Employment) a government organization that safeguards the rights of the working children (15 years old and below) against a working environment that is abusive - mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful.
But apart from that, there are some violations that exist and these have something to do with management contract. A major network MN has a child star CS under its management. The little star is not that popular yet but talented enough to get MN's interest to put her under its roster of talents. In fact the little girl had already appeared in a teleserye topbilled by MN's most popular loveteam. When the show ended several months ago, MN already stopped giving projects to CS.
When they inquired from MN executives, they were told that MN can not be made to adjust their program's taping schedules to suit CS'. Apparently, the child is attending school and her camp asks MN for considerations or a little adjustment so that she wouldn't miss school and can still work, something which was contained in the contract that CS signed with them in the first place. What CS' camp was asking is exactly the provision contained under DOLE. But sad to say, MN prefers to look the other way and violate their own contract.
What's making it more difficult is that CS has other offers from another major network AN where her schedules would not be a problem because the program itself make adjustments' to their talents' school schedules. Thus CS' camp requested MN that she be released from the contract with them. But sadly, they were always given the run around. Months after, when they made a follow-up, CS camp was disgusted that until then, everything hasn't moved at all, and all they heard were delaying tactics. Apparently, MN wouldn't want to release CS, even though they were not giving her any project for so long.
Lately, MN has been on the losing end after a series of exposes and controversies on the way they are handling/mishandling their stars. Some of their talents are now quietly talking how badly they are treated and paid as compared to stars of other networks. Is this why there are more MN talents now who are non-committal at renewing contracts and have been hinting at transferring networks? This we'll get to see in a few weeks.
"There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace." - Kofi Annan

Can't Have Enough of Excitement
Image courtesy of www.thedesigninspiration.com
Who says that only girls get "kilig" when talking about their boyfriends infront of people. Is it true that guys are not as open about it with their friends the way us girls are? Uh oh.. you better think again.
Actually, guys have big mouths and love to brag. They enjoy sharing things and maybe getting tips on how to be better and do better -- and so much more. Give them a drink or two and they will open up and divulge even intimate details for everyone to feast on. Really, when men let their guard down, and have a few beers, anything can happen and every girl is fair game.
During a night of unwinding, this Prominent Personality was with a group of news team from a television network. There was booze and all. After everyone had a few drinks, topic shifted to PP and his lovelife. PP was getting a lot of ribbing from the group.
One reporter teased him, " How lucky can you get, Sir, isn't it! Imagine having such a pretty woman (PW) for a girl?!"
The not-so-pretty boy PP replied playfully, "You are right! Indeed!! Until now, I still can't believe that we are already a couple! Can you imagine, from *name of PW's ex model-boyfriend* to me PP, how great is that?! I'm kind of feeling like a super handsome model, too. Wooooh!!"
Then he let out a hearty laughter matched with very loud taps on the table. His last very emphatic and excited statement, in tagalog -- "Ako na, di ba?! Ako na!! hahaha!!"
Awww!! Indeed, "Love is never having to say you're crazy, eerr .. sorry."
