Money Makes the (Showbiz) World Go 'Round

If there's one word we can use to describe Philippine show business, it would be colorful. A plethora of different personas, an infinite number of characters showcasing their talents (or the lack thereof). I have to admit I have never laid my eyes on any local broadcast show for years now, probably with the exception of the shows which I chance upon while riding the bus, but I am always updated with the latest chismis with the help of Twitter's trending topics. 2011 has proven to be a shocker year for the industry, courtesy of the people I'm about to mention. If there's one thing common among how these personalities ended up doing such actions that made them (in)famous, then it definitely is money. What do their actions tell us? What lessons can we learn?
