Not Quite Genuine

Image courtesy of www.designedthoughts.com

Struggling actress (SA) is reported to be selling her branded bags. While SA has a reputation for being up to date with her clothes, bags, and accessories, her letting go of her bags raises a few questions. First, has SA merely gone tired of her bags that she would not mind selling them? As most collectors know, owning high-end bags is not just a status symbol as these bags are considered lifetime investments.

Second, are her current finances not enough to support her lifestyle and her family as well? As the major breadwinner of her family, she would want to provide the best to support them and prove that she is capable of single-handedly keeping her lifestyle as well as her home. Reality says that SA no longer has as many projects as before, and her latest movie bombed at the tills.

However, the third question is more intriguing. Third, is SA ridding herself of her bags because she has no current benefactor? In street lingo, is there no “papa” in SA’s life now? Sometime ago, SA was enjoying a lavish lifestyle thanks to her alleged affair with a powerful personality. However, SA almost got dragged into the mess of that powerful personality, and both have publicly denied being involved with each other.

While SA is selling her Hermes bags at the usual high prices, an interested party (IP) found out a disturbing matter about her bags. IP discovered that her Hermes Birkins are not authentic.

This discovery gives rise to the fourth question: Is SA getting rid of the alleged fake bags in her collection before she gets to be actually accused of using fakes? What would be sad is if SA has no idea that she actually has fakes in her collection. What would be worse is if SA knows her bags are fakes, yet she continues to pass them off at the prices of the authentic goods.

Hence, potential buyers should remember the Latin phrase, caveat emptor, before getting excited and exchanging their cash for her bags.

In our lives in a lot of ways, it's all about being fake. You've got people wanting things for fake reasons. -Billy Corgan

Just Another Misbehavior

Image courtesy of www.henryehooper.wordpress.com

Coming from a showbiz clan, much is expected from this young actress (YA) who has succumbed to the lure of the cameras. Her parents, who have gone their separate ways several years ago, are both competent performers in their respective fields. Moreover, her uncles and aunts have made marks in showbiz. Hence, no one doubted that YA would soon be acting.

However, at such a young age, YA has been exposed to the struggles of her family members, which worried her fans. Some thought that this controversy might affect her budding career. Yet, YA was smart enough to give a commendable answer when asked if she were affected by the current conflict in her family.

Just as YA was about to be launched, certain sectors raised questions as to the intended message of her first major series. The network relented, and her launching was delayed by a few months. After sometime, YA found herself starring in a less controversial, but interesting project.

Currently, what is alarming is that there is a rumor going around that YA, despite being a minor, is seen in bars, and might be downing a drink too many. Now that her network has given her a break, YA should be more careful in protecting her image and her activities with her peers in public. After all, her showbiz family name seems to be linked with issues.

Being the latest of her clan to join the public eye, her every move will be watched and judged, and will be dragged in the foray of her conflicting relatives. As a young performer, YA should know that the audience will look up to her as a role model, and thus, she should behave well.

Kindness Is Not Her Virtue

Perhaps due to its sensitivity, the religious affiliations of most celebrities are rarely talked or written about. Unless stars themselves volunteer to speak about their spiritual side, hardly do showbiz media and even the stars’ followers care.

Observers believe that most stars want to keep that aspect of their life private as much as possible. Stars are concerned about the controversial repercussions that talking about their religious group would bring.

For years, everything just seemed quiet and simple in the life of Young Star YS, who, like some of her colleagues had her share of followers. YS was just one of the regulars in the networ’s stable of talents, until she was paired with a Rising Star RS - and things were never the same again.

The meteoric rise of YS with RS left everyone awestruck. Expectedly, their busy schedules have sacrificed some of the other important concerns in their lives. In the case of YS, it was alleged that her church responsibilities were being jeopardized.

One day, some Church Workers CW came to visit YS in her house. This is a practice in her church were CW and elders make rounds of brethren’s houses to offer solemn prayer for the family. In this instance, some church officers (all dressed in white) accompanied the CW’s as well. A housemaid of YS met them at the gate and told them that YS was just getting ready. Allegedly, the maid left without inviting them inside the house. The poor church people were made to wait outside.

After almost an hour, the maid reappeared only to tell them that YS was not feeling well and that she could not talk to any of them. Hence, the CW’s and officers had no choice but to leave.

From a church insider, what YS did was the height of arrogance, as all of them brethren show respect to their CW’s and to church officers whom they hold in high esteem.

What is YS trying to imply with her past and present actions? Are observers correct in their assumptions that YS is slowly sending a message to CW’s that she now wants to wean herself away from her religious obligations? Is arrogance synonymous with her new-found fame?

Lauren Dyogi Responds to ‘PBB All In’ Backlash

Lauren Dyogi admits that the current set of housemates are ‘telegenic’

Kapamilya TV production head and director Lauren Dyogi took to his Twitter account on April 28 to explain why and how the housemates of Pinoy Big Brother All In were selected.

The 13th season of the reality show franchise, which kicked off on Sunday, April 27 with a total of 18 housemates including some from show business like actresses Jane Oineza and Alex Gonzaga as well as Kapamilya host Phoemela Baranda’s “secret” daughter, Nichole Baranda,was met with criticism online as netizens protested the “type” of contenders that were chosen for the tilt. Some lamented how the show was only for the “famous” and the “beautiful” while others accused the show for being “scripted.”

Dyogi, in a string of twitter posts, faced the issue head on which started with him explaining the “intention” of most of the auditionees.

He added that for the most part, the audience generally follows the show for two reasons.

Much of the flak drawn by the show stems from the housemates, which many suspect didn’t really go through the rigorous and tedious process. This was addressed by Dyogi as he explained the reason how the final 18 housemates were selected from the 44,000 other who auditioned.

Unfortunately, he said, the housemates who are as naturally comic as former housemates Melissa Cantiveros, Ryan Bang, and Jayson Gainza are quite elusive these days.

He underscored that viewers these days tend to appreciate “natural” people than otherwise.

Dyogi further admitted that the current batch of housemates are indeed “telegenic” but he defended them from prejudgments which many already made about them when they first entered the famous house.

Hosted by Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzalez, John Prats, and Robi Domingo, Pinoy Big Brother All In airs after Aquino and Abunda Tonight on ABS-CBN.

Wowie de Guzman's Wife Dies

The wife of former actor Wowie de Guzman, Sheryl Ann Reyes, died last Saturday, a month after giving birth to their first child. She was 26.

An emotional de Guzman faced ABS-CBN News on Tuesday during the wake held at United Church of Christ Sta. Catalina in Reyes' hometown of Lubao, Pampanga.

The 37-year-old former dancer, who rose to fame in the '90s as a leading man in soap operas, said he is still not sure as to what caused his wife's death.

"Sobrang bilis talaga, eh. Wala, hindi namin alam kung ano'ng nangyari. Wala, natutulog lang kami talaga tapos tumayo lang siya, pumunta sa CR, umihi, tapos bumalik para matulog ulit. Bago siya matulog, uminom siya, parang muscle pain reliever.

"Humiga siya, kasi may parang rayuma siya or arthritis. Pag higa niya, 'yun lang, para siyang nag-choke. Tapos pagpunta ko sa kanya, nag-dilate na 'yung mata niya, nanigas na 'yung mga ganito niya (fingers). Tinry kong i-mouth-to-mouth. Kaya lang, wala talaga, eh," de Guzman narrated.

De Guzman recalled rushing Reyes to a nearby hospital, and requesting doctors repeatedly to attempt reviving her. Actress-host Gladys Reyes, de Guzman's close friend and former co-star, said doctors tried to revive Sheryl for three hours.

"Tinakbo namin sa ospital," de Guzman said. "Nakiusap ako sa mga nandodoon na gawin lahat, kasi everytime na pumupunta sila sa akin, sinasabi walang pintig. Nakikiusap kami na gawin niya pa, baka kasi masalba pa, baka puwede pang tumibok. Kaya lang, siguro talagang hanggang doon lang siguro. Hindi na nila nagawan ng paraan. Wala kaming magagawa."

De Guzman and Reyes were married in July 2013, and welcomed their daughter, Alex Rafael, last March 27.

'No signs'

According to de Guzman, Reyes had been suffering from erratic blood pressure during her pregnancy. This continued even after she gave birth.

Asked if there had been serious signs of Reyes having ill health, de Guzman said, "Wala, eh, kasi wala naman siyang sakit sa puso. Walang history. Wala naman akong alam na kino-complain niya na masakit 'yung puso niya."

"Basta, 'yun lang, noong bago siya manganak, tumaas 'yung blood pressure niya. Hanggang sa pagkatapos niya manganak, pagkatapos niya ma-discharge, 'yon parin ang problema namin -- tumataas tapos bumababa ['yung blood pressure niya]," he added.

De Guzman recalled that they were advised against breastfeeding Alex, as Reyes at the time still had fluctuating blood pressure.

"Ang pinaka-sign lang na nakikita namin, hirap siya maglakad kasi nga parang may rayuma," he said. "Dati pa, gano'n na 'yon, e. Pina-CT scan na namin, pero wala namang nakita. Kailangan lang ng pahinga, 'yon lang ginagawa niya."

Asked if he is blaming anyone for Reyes' passing, de Guzman said, "Wala akong sinisisi, kasi naniniwala ako na gusto ito ng nasa taas, ng Panginoon. Kung meron na may kagustuhan na mangyari ito, siya lang. Medyo masakit, pero kailangan mong tanggapin kasi sigurado naman ako na hindi niya ibibigay ito sa akin na hindi ko makakayanan. Siguro may reason."

Raising daughter alone

While accepting his wife's death will be difficult, de Guzman said he will draw strength from their daughter. He added that he will have to remain strong for Alex, as he is now facing the task of raising her as a single father.

"Ang pinakamaganda doon sa lahat, meron siyang iniwang alaala sa akin, sa pamilya namin. Doon nalang ako huhugot ng lakas ng loob, kasi angdami naming pangarap para sa anak namin.

"Hindi ako puwedeng maging mahina kasi kailangan kong magpaka-strong para sa baby because pag magiging weak ako, unang-una, masasaktan ang asawa ko. Iyon nalang. Iniisip ko nalang na lahat ng nangyayari, may reason. May reason," he said.

De Guzman broke down in tears when asked if he is ready to raise his daughter without Reyes at his side, saying that he is still hoping to somehow see his wife at home.

"Ang hirap kasi," de Guzman said, his voice breaking. "Kung puwede lang sana, bumalik na siya sa amin. Baka sakaling nag-te-taping lang ako, baka nanaginip lang ako, baka eksena lang 'to sa mga trabaho ko."

"Hopefully, pagkatapos nito, pag-uwi ko sa bahay, sa kwarto, nandodoon siya. 'Yung laging nadadatnan ko pag galing ako sa taping... Ang hirap talaga. Nami-miss na namin siya. Mahal, nami-miss ka na namin ni Alex," he said.

Despite Reyes' passing, de Guzman said he still has reason to be happy in Alex. "Lahat kami, masaya. Thankful din ako sa Diyos na healthy siya at walang naging problema. Siguro gina-guide siya ni Sheryl. 'Yun nalang ang iniisip ko. Doon nalang ako kukuha ng strength sa anak ko."

A former member of the dance group Universal Motion Dancers, de Guzman got his big break in the late '90s when he was paired with actress Judy Ann Santos in several TV and film projects, forming one of the most popular love teams at the time.

He continued acting on stage via productions of Gantimpala Theater Foundation. De Guzman's most recent TV series role was in ABS-CBN's "Little Champ" in 2013.
