MANILA, Philippines - Looks like there's more drama off-cam in the teleserye "Prinse sa ng Banyera." In a previous column I wrote that the lead star Kristine Hermosa and director Andoy Ranay are at odds with each other because of the actress' attitude problem.
After that item came out, Kristine apologized to Direk and for a while it seemed like all was well between them. Until Kristine started acting up again.
Depressed
My insider source reveals, "Direk Andoy begged off na from the last taping day. The show ends May 23. Di na niya ma-take ang pag-iinarte ni Tin. Pinaubaya na niya sa 2nd unit director niyang si Rechie del Carmen.
"Tin refused to do the burial scene 'cause depressed daw siya at ayaw na niya umiyak, so that scene was scrapped. At yung bridal gown na matagal nang pinapasukat sa kaniya, dun lang niya sinukat so ang tagal naghintay ng lahat para lang ma-alter ang gown for the taping."
Kristine's camp comes to her defense: "That's unfair. Tin Tin is working so hard."
But isn't damage control futile when an artist is already out of control?
Picking up the pieces
Roxanne Guinoo is picking up the pieces after her break-up with Jake Cuenca.
"It will take a long time for the wounds to heal," she sighs. "Sobra kasi ako ma-in love, kaya sobra din akong masaktan. Alam ni Jake na kahit anong sitwasyon pilit kong iintindihin kasi love ko talaga siya."
Her advice for other Lonely Hearts Club members? "As long as alam niyong di kayo nagkulang, wala kayong dapat pagsisihan. Eventually babalik din sa inyo 'yun. Good karma."
Either that or Good Riddance?
If Roxanne Guinoo needs company while recovering from the split-up, we're sure that Rep William Tieng will gladly volunteer. He has a big crush on her.
The dashing congressman is TV/movie producer Wilson Tieng's nephew, so he's no stranger to showbiz. He's pushing for the lowering of amusement tax imposed on the movie industry.
His stand on piracy? "Seems like the raids conducted by the Optical media Board are selective. We've long waited for Chairman Edu in Congress for budget hearings but he hasn't showed up."
It's Wilson's turn to ask Edu: Game ka na ba?
Comparison is odious
Angel Locsin's manager Becky Aguila wants to clarify tabloid reports that Marian Rivera replaced Angel in a coffee ad. "Not true," Becky says. "She just renewed her contract with San Mig and has three other commercials launching this month."
Just because Marian took over Angel's throne as GMA 7's queen when Angel moved to ABS-CBN doesn't mean they have to suffer the comparisons.
When, oh when, will Angel's detractors stop trying to make her sink, while Marian swims merrily as Dyesebel?
