AS EXPECTED, Alex Brosas dear, this writer incurred the ire of the fans dahil sa aming column item solely devoted to Marian Rivera last Wednesday.
Not only were her fans incensed by the writeup, maging si Rams David of the actress’s management office—na noo’y kasama ni Marian when the latter yelled at a female TV reporter—was also miffed. Ewan kung isinumbong kami ni Rams, or Ateng as he’s fondly addressed, sa mga bossing sa GMA.
One thing we know though, wala kaming direktang kaugnayan ng kanyang inaalagaan/inaalalayang artista except that iisa ang aming istasyon. Hindi kami kabilang sa production staff ng soap ni Marian, in much the same way that she’s not part of the 18 year-old Startalk.
Kung tutuusin, para nga kaming si Rhodora X who has a split personality: our being a Startalk staff is a totally separate entity from our being a tabloid columnist. Because of the obvious disparity, gusto naming isipin that we are not accountable to Marian nor to her management office nor to GMA for any writeup—positive or otherwise—about her, maliban na lang kung personal na ang atake.
We maintain that what we wrote and got published here in Pinoy Parazzi last February 12 hardly contained any personal assault against Marian, save for our opinion which is the primordial essence of a column based on a factual occurence.
Maaaring itanggi ni Marian at ng kanyang kampo ang pangyayari o ilang detalye behind the talakan incident. Our source being the helpless female TV reporter was quick to correct our facts: hindi raw sa set ng soap ni Marian naganap ang pagtatalak ng aktres, kundi sa isang charity event sa East Avenue Medical Center kung saan imbitado si Marian ng kanyang fan club.
Just like all the other tales of woes ng karaniwang reporter, too bad na ang ipinagpuputok lang ng butse ng mga tagahanga at ng mga artista o ng kanilang manager ay ang mga negatibong naisusulat, but how about the halleluiahs that see print as well? Nakukuha ba nilang ipaabot ang kanilang pasasalamat for an article beautifully written?
Waley!
NOONG NAKARAANG linggo nagsimulang magrigodon ang mga programa sa Night Shift block sa GMA. Ang nakasanayan naming panoorin tuwing Miyerkules ng gabi ay nahalinhan na ng Powerhouse hosted by Kara David.
Sa unang sultada nito, ang feature story ay tungkol kay Heart Evangelista na mala-A Day in the Life, kung saan interspersed with the interviews sa mismong bahay ng TV host-actress ay sinamahan siya ng programa sa kanyang dalawang araw na trabaho.
What added crisp to the episode was the presence of Heart’s dyowa, si Senator Chiz Escudero, who showed up at his girlfriend’s abode.
Pero hindi ‘yon ang nakapukaw ng aming atensiyon. Nakaagaw kasi ang portion buy ng isang kilalang men’s facial wash na dalawang beses ikinarga ang patalastas nito.
At ang endorser lang naman ng produktong ‘yon ay si Jericho Rosales, dating nobyo ni Heart.
Si Bakawan ang dyowa ni Duhat at hindi si Coconut?
BLIND ITEM: Sa continuing saga ng pinakakontrobersiyal na usapin sa showbiz ngayon ay mistulang punungkahoy na ito na nagsanga-sanga na ang kuwento.
Dahil sa kaselanan (o kasalanan?) ng naturang paksa—tulad ng puno—we’re assigning trees to their names.
Early on, duda ng publiko ay may kung anong kaugnayan sina “Coconut Tree” at “Puno ng Duhat.” But it turned out na wala naman pala silang relasyon. So, who’s the dyowa of Duhat Tree?
Ang tsismis, ang karelasyon umano nito ay si Bakawan, kaanak ni Coconut Tree.
