The Tragedy with a Last Name

Status: I just can’t refuse it.
Music: Don’t Stop the Music – Rihanna

It’s time for some local showbiz commentaries. Haha. First up, the old reeking hottest buzz in tinsel town — the alleged Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby love affair as suggested by Lolit Solis. I don’t buy this. Well, maybe they have an affair but what Lolit claims that the two were seen doing something i-don’t-know at some hotel? Nah. Total bluff. And whenever people ask me why I don’t believe it, I always tell them this:

On December 17, as I was reviewing for the Foreign Service Exams at Starbucks Imperial Palace Suites in Tomas Morato, I was surprised to find myself surrounded by a few celebrities and the press. In front of me were Mickey Perz and Mommy Yen (Pinoy Big Brother Season 2). To my right, at the center of the cafe, were Lolit Solis and a battalion of other entertainment writers together with the queen bee, Anabelle Rama. Soon, other writers including Alfie Lorenzo started showing up.

As much as I tried to concentrate on my studying, I just couldn’t. They talked so loudly as if Starbucks turned into an urban zoo all of a sudden. I even overheard Lolit Solis expressing her desire to retract regarding the Piolo-Sam controversy she had sparked with her writeup.

“Gusto ko na ngang bawiin yung writeup,” she said.

Anabelle Rama, then, replied, “Bakit mo naman babawiin? Nasabi mo na e. Wag mo nang bawiin.

Nice. Very nice. Although it doesn’t say anything regarding the validity of her claim, for me, wanting to retract says so much about her integrity (or the lack thereof).

And oh, by the way, the entertainment press were gathered there because the Gutierrez family would give away gifts, raffle-style (if I’m not mistaken). Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Philippine showbiz. Envelopmental journalism, anyone?

What the fock ever?!?! Are you freakin’ kidding me?! What the eff is Richard Gutierrez doing there? Don’t get me wrong. I like Richard. He’s hot. But having his name on this walk is just insulting to everyone else on it. It’s ridiculous! And how come Claudine Barretto isn’t included? I know, I know, it’s a work in progress. But what kills me is the idea that Richard had his name earlier than Claudine. He hasn’t proven anything yet. Claudine is a two-time box-office queen with several awards to boot. Although it would pain me just as much, I’d rather see Angel Locsin or Dennis Trillo on the list. But Richard? Er…

And Ruffa Gutierrez?! Ruffa is there while Donita Rose isn’t? Oh come on. The last time I checked, it was “Walk of Fame” we were checking out. Crazy showbiz world, huh?

The amazing power of the Gutierrez clan. Cough, cough.
Unbe-freakin’-lievable*.

    if her beauty pageant thing is the cause of the tragic placement of her name on that walk, hmmm, how come Margie Moran ain’t there? She got the crown, Ruffa didn’t.

    Well yeah, probably the I’m-sorta-kinda-like-battered wife drama of hers. Or just the damn last name, really. hehe.
