Quick Ticket To Stardom

“I want to be a star, quick!”, Yes, Sure.

The emergence of internet, especially the video uploading site, particularly YouTube, as well as the reality shows have swamp the Entertainment industry with disposable instant superstars which only last for 1 year or months of stardom wherein every year there is a brand new star and celebrity produced by the reality shows replacing the glittering stardom of the former winners, however some former winners are able to survive the competition and tightly cleaved on their distinct star quality which can never be eclipsed by any new comer emerging from where one also come forth.

In the Philippines, there is a star that was produced by a reality show in the Philippines wherein his star quality remain shining despite of all his successors in the reality show he come forth, that is Mr. Sam Milby. Sam Milby is the top and now very famous star and celebrity that come out from a reality show – Pinoy Big Brother-, according to the survey done among who is the most reality show produced stars that is continually making success in the Philippine Entertainment industry.

In the other hand, in terms of internet stardom, the only Filipino that emerges as a bigger and even international star resulting from her YouTube videos is of course – Ms. Charice Pempengco. The video uploading site has given her almost fainting star status in the defunct local talent search in the Philippines, a bigger and wider boost.

To summarize, though there are many channels and free platforms today in order to be famous and fabulous, the only thing that remains a star shining is his or her own distinct talent, wherein the new channels and platforms have just given their respective talents to be noticed in a larger and real scale without a lot of scripting and tailoring done in a commercialized talent show.

The Shocking Rustom Padilla a.k.a. Bb Gandanghari

I don’t know but perhaps, it is only in the Philippine showbiz that any handsome and hunk male celebrity or showbiz stars is overtly suspected to be a closet gay. But of course, the accused party is in total denial and show proofs that he is a real man, to cast away doubts and rumors that he might be a gay because this could ruin his precious career and matinee idol image.

However, some matinee idols give in to the rumors and bravely admit that the rumors about him being a gay guy are true. The most recent who do this brave revelation is the former cute hunk matinee idol Rustom Padilla who have shock the entire Philippine showbiz industry when his beautiful big hunky body shrunk into very skinny body complexion when he was interviewed abroad by a showbiz porter of what is now happening to him abroad after his break-up with his former wife Ms. Carmina Villaroel.

Bebe Gandanghari

Many thought, he has caught a disease abroad because of his so very skinny body and was greatly devastated by his break-up with Carmina Villaroel. But there are still lingering rumor that he might be a gay. Actually, both the camps of Rustom Padilla and Carmina Villaroel were interviewed then about if Rustom is gay or not, but both parties never answer straight, until Rustom himself break the mystery when he confessed through the TV program Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition that he is indeed gay and justified his being gay when he said “..hindi ako masamang tao…” (“..i am not an evil person…”,because the Christian church have demonized that gays are inherently evil and sinful creatures. But that doesn’t end the shock of the Philippine showbiz industry on him. He shocks more the Philippine showbiz industry when he finally cross-dress and said he is a woman and ever since he already knew that he is a woman. Moreover, he also personally declared that Rustom Padilla is now dead, he is now Bebe (Bb) Gandanghari – the woman and the real her who is hiding in the body and personage of Rustom Padilla. Recently, it was reported that he is planning or fly abroad for a sex change procedure.
