Yes, Some Rake It Cool

Gone are the days when showbiz fans were happy just seeing their idols in person, or at most buying them sampaguita garlands that they put on their idols' necks while waiting for them to emerge from the studio or pack-up from movie shooting. Most of them just admired from a distance. Those were the age of prudence when fans were never too intrusive of their favorite stars.

Nowadays, the profile of movie fans has drastically changed. From merely screaming their lungs out, they now have money to burn anytime they wish. Truly, they have evolved big time.

Now equipped with the purchasing power, fans go the extra mile of giving their idols 'big' gifts to show their love and to make their idols remember them. Today's fans who buy these gifts like pricey gadgets (camera, laptop, cellphones) guitars, and even furniture and household appliances are becoming more commonplace than unlikely.

It is also for this reason that some stars abuse their fans' generosity. We know of a then neophyte but now a popular young actor who used the social media to insinuate to his fans and followers what gadget he so desperately needed that time. Such that when he went for a show abroad, he was shocked to wake up to rows upon rows of gifts from his fans waiting for him in the hotel lobby – his dream gadget included – and more. How cool is that?

Cute Heartthrob CH did not foresee his dizzying fame coming. He had no inkling that his charm and good looks would bring him awesome perks so soon. CH is pursued everywhere he goes, even abroad. CH's fans are aware that CH's Relative CR acts as his personal assistant (PA), a very hands-on one at that. Apart from the usual responsibilities of a PA, CR takes charge all of CH's other concerns like what he should wear to every event he goes to, what food he should eat, etc.

But what turns off his fans and followers is that CR discriminates who to prioritize in having photos taken with CH. Even if a fan comes ahead of the others but has no gift for CH, he/she will go disappointed. Reportedly, CR prioritizes only those who bring gifts for CH to have photo opportunity with him. How enterprising!

So if you are a truly a fan of CH, do not leave home without bearing gifts or you will be yanked away.
