making it to the limelight

September 22, 2010

Of course, even in our office, the John Lloyd-Shaina scandal did not escape us. As we talked about it, there were some giggles, but since majority are doctors and/or from the medical field, they’ve talked about it in a rather medical manner.

Afterward, we talked about how these movie and tv stars really know how to make it to the limelight. Even Mahal, short as she is and would not have grown tall even if given hgh srpray and tons of growth pills, stood big in the limelight. We all know that she had a boyfriend, who turned out to be Madam Auring’s lover, who turned out to be gay. That’s a story isn’t it?

There’s the Hayden Kho-Katrina Halili scandal that made it even to the “curious” senate. There’s Rustom Padilla who admitted on national television that he is, well, gay. There was the death of Rustom and the birth of BB. Gandanghari, wherever he got that silly name.

The older, more conservative among us talked about how these actors and actresses have their own set of moral values. It is only in their world really where it is acceptable to be the girlfriend of your ex-boyfriend’s cousin or the wife of your ex’s brother. Of course, there are the numerous annulments which, although sometimes happening in our world, are commonplace in theirs. And the second or third “marriages”. The point is, even if these things also happen among regular persons, it seems normal among them, and the public accepts it when it happens to them stars, but not when it happens to neighbors.

She also wondered the physiological differences between the stars and us common folks. She said, when we break up with our partners, we get hurt and it takes time for us to recover from the emotional pain. Why, then, does these stars replace one boyfriend with another just like that? She’s talking about the Shaina-John Pratts breakup and the sudden Shaina-John Lloyd “locked” commitment.

And now the talk of the town: the Robin Padilla-Mariel Rodriguez wedding. It especially became louder because of the twists and turns of the story: they got married; no, it’s not marriage; it’s only a shooting; and yes, we are married. Well, this particular story, I like. Who wouldn’t fall in love with that head-over-heels whirlwind romance of theirs? Like that of Aga and Charlene, and Richard and Lucy. And again, it rarely happens in real life.
