HISTORICAL figure Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “Glory
is fleeting, obscurity is forever.”
Starlets
nowadays think they own the world. Make them appear a
few minutes once a week in a TV show and they think
they’re Nobel Peace Prize winners. Many of them think
everyone will bow down and kiss their feet anytime they
want.
Like the
case of this young starlet. She is very pretty and shows
so much promise. In public, she acts like an angel—meek
and mild-mannered. She is a regular in a news gag show
and even has a weekly sitcom. In fact, it was during a
recent taping of this weekly sitcom that this angelic
starlet showed her devilish side.
One
time, in an out-of-town taping, the starlet went inside
the holding room where the show’s makeup artist was
taking a much-deserved nap after working for days
nonstop. Brat that she is, the starlet suddenly grabbed
the pillow that the makeup artist was sleeping on and
shoved her out of the bed. “My yaya doesn’t have a place
to lie down!” she allegedly shouted.
Word has
it that the director of the sitcom talked to her, saying
“Had you been a guy, chances are the makeup artist
would’ve punched the lights out of you.” The starlet
didn’t say anything—and didn’t even act contrite. Well,
I heard that starlet was or will be let go of her stint
in the sitcom. If you ask me, she deserves it.

MEANWHILE, the
Pinoy Dream Academy
‘scholars’ are also being accused of being difficult.
There are a lot of negative issues being thrown at them,
many of which emerged after their trip in the US.
Below is
the official statement from Dream Big Productions about
these issues:
“Of
late, there have been tabloid columns written about
three issues that gave a negative impression of Dream
Big Productions (DBP), its reason for being and the
people that run it.
“The
first issue revolves around the Top 6 PDA scholars—Yeng
Constantino, Jay-R Siaboc, Panky Trinidad, Ronnie Liang,
Chad Peralta and Irish Fullerton—who recently went on a
US
concert tour. While doing the tour, they were reported
to have committed certain indiscretions that led to the
issuance of sanctions for four ‘misbehaving scholars,’
namely Jay-R, Panky, Irish and
Chad.
“Let us
make it clear. Yes, there were indiscretions committed
by the four named artists but were limited to smoking
and drinking in the hotel room where they were staying.
They were penalized for doing so by the hotel management
with a fine but not $10,000 as reported by one
columnist.
“In this
regard, the DBP management has recommended that Jay-R
Siaboc and Panky Trinidad take their much-needed rest
and go back to their respective hometowns in Cebu, while
waiting for their next project with DBP. Chad Peralta,
on the other hand, expressed his desire to fly back to
Australia
after fulfilling his earlier scheduled album promotion.
Chad at the moment feels that show business is not for
him. Irish Fullerton was likewise advised to take a
breather in her hometown in
Los Angeles,
USA,
which came very timely since she has an impending June
12 Independence Day show there.
“The
second issue is their disappearance in ASAP ’07
last
April 29, 2007.
Rightly so, the four were not there because their
three-month performance stint with the show ended even
before they left for the USA. Henceforth however, each
of the PDA scholars will be moved and managed
individually.
“The
third issue is the insinuated ‘rift’ between Star
Magic’s Johnny ‘Mr. M’ Manahan and (DBP) Business Unit
head Lauren Dyogi. The two major personalities in ABS-CBN
entertainment are working well together. In fact, they
are in the process of launching a new project—the
opening of a performance academy that will offer
certificate courses to aspiring actors, actresses,
singers and production people.
“DBP
does not condone misbehaviors. Rest assured that we
abide by our code of ethics and conduct to decide on
what actions to take given specific circumstances. Our
six PDA scholars will continue to work with DBP and ABS-CBN
after the recommended rest and recreation that they
rightfully deserve.
“To our
valued friends in media, thank you for monitoring our
PDA scholars and DBP. We thank you for your sincere
reminders to us and our artists.
“We
remain committed to bring quality talents and
performances to our beloved audiences.” |
