For most industry denizens, the news wasn’t surprising at all.
Showbizzy Veteran recently landed in hot water for spewing out venom in public. Bashers launched a counterattack against SV, who turned out to be way off target.
Seems SV has a history of bad behavior.
Exasperated Colleague recalls how SV kept complaining on the set. Worse, SV had the gall to look down on newcomers.
EC got fed up and told SV not to report for work anymore.
SV got sacked!
To think, EC and SV see eye to eye on a number of issues. Still, EC found SV intolerable.
Picture perfect
Gorgeous Celebrity hasn’t changed much through the years.
GC is still very fussy when it comes to taking photos. GC has mastered the art of taking selfies, in fact.
To make sure that all pics are flattering, GC would check first if the angle and lighting are perfect before each click.
Just in case, GC makes sure there’s a good light source. Every time a picture is taken, GC holds a trusty cellphone, with the flashlight turned on, and trains it upwards. Towards GC’s visage, of course.
Rated P for perfectionist!
Available light
Here’s another picky celeb.
Pugnacious Luminary kept pestering colleagues about small and big things at work.
It was bordering on sheer lunacy.
PL was nit-picking about everything, even the lighting.
PL wanted to make sure that the lights would enhance certain assets. Annoyed Coworker shot down PL’s rants with a simple quip: “There are limits to technology.”
Uh-oh.
Cornered
No wonder Alluring Personality bolted from former firm.
After all, ex-colleagues would not think twice about betraying AP. Or throwing AP under the bus.
Cohorts set up a one-on-one session with AP.
Upon reaching the venue, AP was shocked to discover that Scandalous Rival was there. All was not well between SR and AP. Quite naturally, AP was spooked—especially since SR is infamously intimidating.
Needless to say, the incident pushed AP to flee the place (and cut ties with those supposedly loyal coworkers) with dispatch.
Migraine-inducing
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Producers abhor working with Raucous Performer.
They complain that RP is abrasive and demanding—a headache-inducing nightmare.
To top it off, RP’s Vociferous Boss is just as meddlesome. VB can’t help interfering in production matters, much to the consternation of RP’s equally Seasoned Coworkers.
No wonder RP was conspicuously absent when the SCs decided to put together a string of projects.
Ouch!
