The Climactic Couple

Popular candidate PC is being whispered to be in love…again.
PC is not the type who will divulge anything about her love life. In fact, she is a certified denial queen - will deny to death her past dalliances no matter what and despite the sightings
of her and the guy/s in question having good times abroad.
The latest guy who is rumored to be singing her sweet hosannas is a long-time friend,
albeit a controversial one CO. CO's real marital status had been a mystery. On press releases coupled with family pictures, CO is often
pictured as an ideal father and husband, almost a perfect family man. Yet his
private circumstances prove otherwise.
CO is every inch a gentleman, his mysterious appeal adds
more to his machismo. Wasn’t the very quiet CO often rumored to be a lady's man – the one caught red-handed inside
the house of his paramour? Only then did the public know that his marriage was
on the rocks.
Women swoon over to his trim
physique most especially during
the younger years of this dashing man. CO is never lacking in female
admirers,
especially PC who has now allegedly won his heart. PC is unattached at
present and is
likewise still a certified looker despite the years. And many still really find her attractive. For a long time,
PC's image seems to be leaning towards being the 'Muse' - you better get
the drift.
Now that the elections is forthcoming, do we expect more sightings
of PC and CO? Or will both deliberately avoid each other to avoid the
prying eyes of Fashion PULIS? Both look
good together ‘though. Careful..
“We are the perfect couple, we’re just not in the perfect
situation.”

The Writing is on the Wall
Image courtesy of www.123rf.com
Is high
profile personality HP quietly dealing with his personal dilemma?
Through the years, this life survivor HP has defined himself as the
product of countless life’s battles that were fought and conquered
through blood, sweat and tears. HP saw them all: defeat, victory, and
defeat again. But each time, he came out better than the first. He keeps
saying that his life story is one for the books, very MMK’ish as
others say.
As
a struggling artist, he quit school to pursue his dreams…. big
dreams. Amid hunger and want, armed with only determination, he inched his way to get to where he is now.
He knew he
had it, the charm to woo the masses, and he capitalized on it. The
mostly needy and gullible masses became his staunch supporters and
defenders to this day. Although they have dwindled in numbers, still
they are what constitutes HP’s support base.
But
at the rate HP’s career paces right now, looks like not all is rosy and
encouraging. His show SH performance is underwhelming - hasn’t shown any progress
inspite of the pricey and major make-over done. Described by critics as a “rehash of the old,” SH’s audience rating remains single digit for a
long time. To be fair to HP, he works hard for SH, but seems the public is not drawn anymore.
At
present, there are talks that HP is not in a comfortable state with his network bosses. Allegedly, there are certain contract obligations that were not met
and that have only been advantageous to HP. The low ratings aspect is not at
all helping to assuage the situation.
Some sources say that HP is having problems with liquidity.
This after his huge investment projects have remained at a standstill. HP
tried to address the problem by disposing off some of his properties for
cash - something must be really serious.
Observers
say what has been obvious all along, HP’s flamboyant attitude is the culprit. He thinks nobody can
outgive him. Still others see this as a foregone conclusion - a
foreboding - HP had it too much, too soon. All things said, the
bottomline is: Nothing is ever permanent.

Fresh and Bold
Image courtesy of www.sites.moca.org
Teen actress TA has got what it takes to make it in showbiz industry
– talent, pretty face and a happy
disposition. For one so young, she has already proven herself worthy to be
called an actress with quite a number of awards and recognitions given her.
Unlike some other stars her age, TA is a lot more passionate
in her craft, more daring and competitive when it comes to unleashing her
potentials. Apart from acting, she can competently do hosting, as well. TA takes her craft
seriously, and knows what she wants. People who know her say she is independent, responsible and matured. Which is why she has
gained the respect of some industry veterans and followers, too.
But when TA tried her hand at singing, not a few eyebrows were
raised. But she didn't mind the skeptics
and critics, and went on with
rigorous preparations. She had voice
lessons, a must for anyone going the musical foray. Her first single turned so
well, vindicating herself in the process.
But sometimes no
matter how careful one is, he/she is bound to commit blunders when it is least expected. At
the grand launch of her music album at a variety show, TA did a live number of
her popular single. The well-prepared number was positioned towards the show’s
finale to give it more impact. But it was such a disgusting number - she was singing
out of tune with mostly flats. She failed miserably and the tension was very
visible on her face. She tried hard to recover, but unfortunately, she couldn’t
redeem herself.
TA banged right there!
The director was furious - off the air he shouted at TA. He
blamed her for that unforgivable blunder, for committing it right at the very launch of her album. Shrinking from embarrassment, TA took it all.
“Mistakes are sometimes the best memories.”

Kicking Her Brattiness
Image courtesy of www.indiebandsblog.com
If you ask anyone popular star which will they prefer to do: a teleserye or a television commercial TVC, chances are, majority would prefer the latter. Why? Because as opposed to teleserye which requires tons of work and really long hours of taping, TVC’s are usually shot in a day or two at most and pays a lot bigger. Which is why stars strive hard to clinch endorsement deals - less work, more pay, more exposure.
But being a product endorser comes with big responsibility. You are to protect your image and that of the company and product/s you are endorsing. Anything that sullies an endorser’s image will boomerang on her/him sooner than expected. And that includes being able to work harmoniously with people within the TVC’s production. All that and more entail deep commitment. Suffice it to say that nothing’s like a free lunch all the way.
Actress and endorser AE is an in demand product endorser. In one of her endorsement shoots, the hairstylist HS noticed that AE was not in her best element. By her expression, it was obvious that she was pissed. AE was so fussy and kept doing things that made HS work more difficult. When HS asked what was bothering her, AE replied, “ I’m okay.”
But any HS familiar with stars’ quirks knows only too well. HS sensed that her annoyance was about the styling he was doing on her. HS went on subtle defense and said that he was following instructions to do a certain peg for her. Then he continued working on her. Being at vantage point, HS got curious and looked at what AE was typing on her celfone. The message read that AE was complaining to her road manager RM that she was so pissed with HS.
HS was of course outraged, AE’s complaints are way beyond HS control. Had she been more prudent, AE could have asked for an HS of her choice before the shoot, but she didn’t. Instead AE chose to take her rants and gripes on him. Poor, helpless HS. - but make no mistake.. HS wanted to teach her a lesson. Toward the last part of the shoot, HS vented his ire on AE and intentionally burned her hair! Damage was quite big that AE had to have her hair cut short.
Moral lesson: As with waiters who will spit on your food in revenge, do not ever mess with your stylists.
“I hate committing myself to anything.It’s probably the lack of discipline, honestly. I’m probably a spoiled brat worried about getting my way everytime.” ~ Cameron Diaz

Former Miss Universe 2011 third
runner-up, Shamcey Supsup will be engaged and set to tie the knot with
model/businessman, Lloyd Lee this year 2013.
Shamcey
and her Filipino-Chinese boyfriend have set the engagement date on June
16 via Ting Hun, a traditional Chinese ceremony. In Chinese, this
symbolizes that both families formally accept their new
son/daughter-in-law into the family. Wedding is set on December 29.
During
their television guestings last year, both Shamcey Supsup and her
low-key boyfriend had made known their plans to get married in 2013.
In
several interviews, Supsup said she had already found the perfect man
to spend the rest of her life with. She said she knew that Lloyd was the
right guy the first time she met him on her birthday before the
Binibining Pilipinas pageant two years ago.
She
revealed that everything went so fast. Both developed romantic feelings
for each other within a week of first meeting. And became a couple after
a month of courtship.
Shamcey
said she prayed hard for a boyfriend, even set such high standards. And
God answered her. She says Lloyd who keeps her grounded is her first
boyfriend. Shamcey is now 26.
Last
year, she received a diamond ring from Lloyd, a deep commitment of
their love for each other. It was a “promise” ring that symbolizes his
pure intentions and love for her.

Raving for Comfort and Vigor
Image courtesy of www.rachelsworkshop.com
Hunky actor HA was probably inspired by the success of his
much younger and more popular brother PB that he, too, decided to join the
showbiz bandwagon. To be fair to him, he is as talented if not more talented
than PB. Apart from being a good
dancer, HA can confidently carry a tune,
too. He had to his credit done considerable number of tv shows over the years. Some
people say that HA has a lot more
sex appeal than PB, who like him is a
great dancer, too. Being good looking, HA has obviously gained fans and admirers,
including gay admirers, too.
Both PB and HA take care of their bodies a lot knowing that
in the highly competitive world of showbiz, all things being equal, having a
great physique is what makes the cut. HA has to prove himself harder ‘though as
he has yet to reach the status of bro PB. That’s why he is a very disciplined lot,
taking his workouts seriously and passionately, never wanting to miss any
session.
One of his regular gym mates is one talented actor TA, a
reality search winner and a homegrown talent. TA who is a looker himself is as
intense both personally and professionally. He has proven himself very well as
an actor and is a passionate artist as well. He and HA share many things in common
that ultimately brought them real close together.
Being regular gym buddies, their friendship blossomed such
that they not only are gym buddies but also do other stuff together like going
to the spa and sauna. In other words, both HA and TA have become far too close
for comfort. To some extent, this may be okay.
But if people close to you start to feel some kind of cringe and
discomfort, then that’s when it becomes a bother.
When too much closeness has reached a level that is more
than just friendship, even more than just bromance. – then it’s time to take a long
hard look. Just a thought – what could be their girlfriends thinking?
“Love is blind but friendship closes its eyes.”
