Pinoy Showbiz

Caution: You will never think I'm this nosy. Haha!

Weekend is not complete without me hooking up with "The Buzz" every Sunday in TFC. I've been a fan even in my busiest days when I used to work. It must be the "cheapness" (haha) of the scoops that I easily get by just watching but recently, I would imagine that I'm part of the show (haha). But kidding aside, I was late when I opened the tv and saw the last two major "shockers" they showed yesterday. The top ten showbiz "shockers" aren't usually shockers per se, but it's how Boy Abunda recorded that audio that makes it really a must-see scoop. I like Boy Abunda a lot. He's the epitome of a showbiz host that you will always respect. He's earned that integrity (like Ricky Lo), that when something comes out of his mouth (especially if it has something to do with Kris Aquino), it is, in fact, true. But a few months ago, I was a bit puzzled when Boy apologized to the people in Visayas when Kris couldn't make it due "marital problems." It just wasn't "boyish" Abunda who would do that. I was even making my point to my husband that Boy would be discreet and careful in saying those things. But because Boy is a very close friend to the Presidential sister, he was also obliged to be say that in public. And true enough, I think he mentioned how difficult it is for him to say it, a week or two after that incident. Fast forward to the recent showbiz news. I watched an episode of SNN just the other day and noticed that Boy kinda moved back about the news that Kris has a new "bff" by the person of the Vice Ganda. I see that Boy was handling it civilly on tv but there was something about his face. I may be wrong and maybe there's nothing to "scoop" about but I just believe that some things will never be the same again between him and Kris.
So much about Boy. I just miss my gay friends all the more when I see him on tv.
There were a couple of showbiz shockers when I opened the tv. There's this Mariel-Toni mysterious indifference. And the Robin-Mariel wedding in Baguio.
The Mariel-Toni issue is just one normal thing in showbiz I guess. It happens to anyone whether you're in showbiz or not. I just have this theory that Mariel's whirlwind decisions in everything (love and career) might be brought up by how competition goes in showbiz. Noticed that Mariel was left in Win na Win and E-Live, while her contemporaries, Bianca G (goes to SNN) and Toni G (goes to The Buzz). I don't know. I may be wrong again, but any person who's running her career so smoothly will feel left behind or even more than that if a movement like that happens. Oh, by the way, it's hard juggling everything like that when your boyfriend breaks up with you. I feel for Mariel because it happened to me, but in different sequence.
And here comes the Knight Robin rescuing her from demise. I may not know her personally but every woman knows these days how to value her career like it's everything she has. So, ok, it must be L-O-V-E. Fine. I respect that. But the confusing wedding ceremony is one heck of a public trick. It's a promotion to an upcoming show. They said they're not allowed to say things because everything is in progress. From the proposal in E-Live, to India, to Baguio and everything that will happen in next coming weeks is a promotion either for a movie or a show. And whatever's coming out soon, I don't buy it. Sorry. I used to like Mariel as a host. She's not irritatingly funny or "maarte". But her mere smile and smirk on tv these days makes me want to turn it off. All I can say is, it's not a good way to turn her career wheel. For me, she should've waited.
