HOW true is it that one of the reasons why Nadine Lustre and James Reid broke up was because the former refused to invest on the project the latter had in mind?

Some of Nadine’s friends felt that Careless Music is carelessly managed thus turning back their faces on James was the best thing to do.

We wonder whether Liza Soberano an ex-talent of Careless was convinced to be one of the investors, too.

Money they say is the root of all evil. When it comes to money matter, Nadine must be wiser. She made the right decision.

Wally must face the consequences

THERE ought to be some kind of punishment when someone violates the rules, even ones set by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board or MTRCB, the guardians of morality in the entertainment industry.

Cursing is a big no on national television. Which is what comedian Wally Bayola, one of the segment hosts of E.A.T. did. So whether accidentally or not, admitting that he was wrong is not enough.

He should be fined or suspended.

The next time Bayola curses on national TV, whether it was simply a slip of the tongue, he should face the consequences.
