Gossip Deposit full of Shhhhh

Some Filipinos, keyword “some”, love snooping and have the “I must know” mentality. This person has starvation for things gossip, rumors and man-made-false-facts, well those two words and a hyphenated phrase have the same meaning but the point is these leeches like to feed on some things that they should not suck on the first place, even if it’s obviously fake.

This is way clear with Philippine showbiz talk shows and even with our lovable local news who just love to spout things that you want to get a piece of rolled newspaper and hit them in the head repeatedly. Showbiz talk shows should talk about the actor’s projects, upcoming shows and other interesting showbiz industry news. Why do we care if a girl goes to the other country? Does it entertain me? Why do we care if they are just friends? Does it entertain me? I remember a certain news segment with a big unfortunate headline of “The comedy queen, is getting fatter, why is that? Stay tune”.

Unfortunately, I grew up with people addicted with local showbiz, the hardcore showbiz talk shows and I can post here some gossips that can come from nothing and not fact checked. It’s like if I said I saw a blue car and say that the guy likes the color blue but in reality, this guy likes the color pink and he just got a blue car from a radio contest ran by an annoying DJ. Here are some common gossips, rumors and showbiz craps. I think most of them are correct, at least once from the miserable life of the gullible showbiz addict will see the following.

1. If a star all of a sudden goes to the other country, mostly to the United States, they will say she is pregnant
2. A star goes to the other country, he or she is meeting his/her other same time wife, the third wheel.
3. A star goes to the other country, that person is escaping from something, from the media of course.
4. If an on-screen partner asked if they are having a real relationship, even if it too obvious and you can see ants doing their ant dance around them due to their sweetness, they will just say they are just friends.
5. If a very popular star, returns  in the Philippines after staying on the other country and labeled as pregnant for some reason. Later the “media” see that she is still thin and doesn’t have any evidence of pregnancy, they will just say she aborted the baby over there.
6. If the rumored pregnant star, who disappeared somewhere in the country for some personal reason, returns in the spotlight and the media see that she is still thin and doesn’t have any evidence of pregnancy, they will just say she aborted the baby somewhere out there, which leads to a police investigation and a random raid will occur in a province somewhere in Mindanao
7. If a star disappeared, even if he is a C or D-lister, they will simply say he is a failure or a drug addict, even if he is successful doing something significant somewhere.

I don’t mind this showbiz fanatics but they should not believe everything, even if it is blatant obvious that they taken from a piece of hat. If you believe the piece of hat gossip generator thing, I will just hit you with this rolled newspaper that I got free from Jollibee. This showbiz industry, which is the main foundation for such mediums as movies, TV shows and even radio shows, is mean to entertain the people, their fans, and not know if she is a Leo, a Virgo or which country she went to have met her other same time wife.
