Over-the-hill singer’s desperate attempt to remain relevant

Like Washed-up “Biritera” (WB) whose handler gives away free tickets to make sure WB’s concerts look like SRO affairs, Over-the-hill Crooner (OC) makes mountains out of molehills in a desperate attempt to remain relevant in an industry that considers OC’s music as “Jurassic” as the hits he used to churn out.

OC recently dug his career a deeper grave after he turned off a well-meaning scribe who just wanted to drum up viewers’ interest for his latest endeavor—a musty, outdated and bland concept marketed as a brand-new product. OC wanted Veteran Writer (VW) to “dot the i’s and cross the t’s” his way—yes, he wanted everything done his way, even if VW was just doing OC a favor.

OC better get off his high horse before he gets on more writers’ bad side—especially now that his once-pristine voice is no longer as easy on the ear as it used to be. Cautionary lesson learned.

TOP OF THE TABLOIDS

This week’s top show biz news from the tabloids (and why we are moved, if we are moved):

• Wish ni Alice Dixson, at 51, natupad makalipas ang 10 taon: May baby na! (Never too late and never too old to realize one’s long-cherished dreams.)

• Mega pinaiyak ng driver na 35 taon nang nagseserbisyo sa kanya: Hindi mo ako iniwan at pinabayaan… (Seems like almost every thing makes her cry these days.)

• ‘Nakakaloka ang pa-house tour ni Kiray Celis sa Tagaytay! (Does that make Kiray luka-luka?)
