Om and Pancake’s fitting pics for “Tawee Pope”
– August 27, 2010Posted in: Lakorn
The year 1994, I was still in elementary school, I was more focus on Japanese animation than lakorns. So no, I have never seen the original version of “Tawee Pope (Two worlds)”, a period drama, starring “Ann” Siriam Pakdeedamrongrit and Saranyu Wongkrachang. It’s a beloved classic. For 2010, it is being remade with Om Akapan and “Pancake” Khemmanid Jamikorn as the leads. At first, when I heard about it, I was like Om and Pancake, would they even look right together? Yes, I’m shallow and vain. After seeing the fitting pictures, they don’t look half bad together.
I wonder if this is the lakorn where Ann Siriam is transported back in time via a mirror because I have seen it. UPDATE: it is a fantasy, travel back in time via a mirror lakorn. I vaguely remember it.
If I don’t like Om in this one, I still have hope for his other lakorn with Ch3, “Ruk Ok Akat (Broadcast Love)”. They have not confirm the nang’ek. It is in the works. Since Om is signed with Polypus, he can work for both Ch3 and Ch7. Source: Pantip and Thairath.

Ann Alicia and Puri are taking a break
– August 27, 2010Posted in: Thai stars
“Ann” Alicia Laisuthruklai and her long time boyfriend of 5 years, actor Puri Hiranpruk are taking a break. It always starts off like this, huh? It starts off a break, then eventually, they never get back together.
Ann:”We are not breaking up, we are distancing ourselves, like what they call ‘Take a Break’. This year is our 5th year together. I feel like our relationship is mature. We have to talk about what we want in our lives. We are not dating like ja jaa, going to the movies. It’s not like that anymore. We are adults now. We have to sit down and discuss if our future plans are similar. For a guy, it is an important matter, I understand, so I asked him to think about, to see if he can take care of me. We are talking about it. The time apart will test if we will miss each other, to see if we want to be together or not. We have talked about it. It is a thought we have talked about. A relationship must grow. You can’t just date day by day.”
Ann was asked if marriage was the problem–Ann wanted to get married, Puri did not. “We both want to get married. But w both have to ask, okay, do we see our futures in the same way. When we talked about it sincerely and fully, it was intense, but you have to talk about it. I wanted to know if we thought differently.”
The relationship is on a break because Ann wanted to have children, again, Puri did not yet.
“It’s true (wanting to have children); however, it doesn’t have to be at this moment. In the future, most definitely. I don’t want to be a girl who goes out hey haa-ing all the time. I want a family–have children.”
Ann has given Puri an ultimatum and reporters wondered if Puri asked for more time to think about it. He did not.
“He did not tell me. He did not ask (for more time). We are going to think about it.”
Ann is not angry at Puri at all. “I’m not angry, there is nothing. When my dog passed away yesterday, he called me and we talked, but nothing was resolved.”
The separation is a test for their relationship to see if they still want to be together.” We are no longer seeing each other, we want to try to see if we like this or do we like being together. Before we dated, he was known as a guy who enjoyed a good time. The 5 years we dated, there was nothing like that, but does he think about that life still?”
If Puri asked her for her hand in marriage, she would gladly accept it. “Yes, I’m ready for it,” said Ann.
If some girl tried to snatch up Puri while they are on break, Ann will consider it as proof for his sincerity towards her.
Ann does not fear the curse of the 5 year relationship mark. “I don’t fear it ka, I’m not concern about it, I’m not angry, and we have not broken up. It’s just a way for us to think about it.”
Clocks and more clocks.

Tangmoe Vs the Media
– August 26, 2010Posted in: Thai stars
The media and Ch7′s nang’ek “Tangmoe” Pattarathida Patcharawirapong do not get along. Period. All actors and actresses at some point in their career face media scrutiny, negative media attention, media prying into their personal life, media leaking private photos, media’s accusation of plastic surgery. Some, who live in the limelight, can cope and adapt to the media scrutiny. Actresses like Tangmoe can not. Tangmoe has been through it all. No one likes this type of attention, Tangmoe makes it worse with her attitude and frankness. Through the years, her relationship with the media has been turbulent.
In a recent Facebook comment, Tangmoe has made it worst. On August 14, Ploy Chermarn wrote on her Facebook wall: “Why can’t an actress like me express her feelings, it’s like I’m being persecuted?? Some say I’m as vile as in the lakorns I play, tumultuous and mischievous. If I am what they say, how could I have lasted in the entertainment industry for 16 years na ka?? I’m not a good person 100 (percent) rok. However, I have enough of a conscience to not cause problems for others.”
Two days later, Tangmoe replied to Ploy’s post, she wrote:”I have to emphasize this to you, waterway depends on boats, a tiger depends on the jungle, is just a word of gratitude by reporters, when they don’t respect the rule, they don’t respect the actors. They gain from us inhumanely. Only 40% from the news provide publicity for actors and actresses. Another 60% comes from our ability and our personality. On the other hand, nearly 100% of their (the media’s) monthly earnings comes from us. The most important thing is that we create jobs for them always. But they only create problems for us always. This is the reasoning of the mouth and pen. It’s a disadvantage no one will ever understand, especially the public who reads it. To review it well, who the one being taken advantage of and who is the one taking the advantage. Who should be the one saying SORRY and thank you.”
Tangmoe is saying the media has no respect for actors and actresses. It’s true that actors and actresses need the media for publicity, but that is just 40 %. Their talent and abilities contributes 60% to their fame and publicity.
Celebrity gossip creates job for the media, thus 100% of their monthly earning comes from celebrities. Celebrities are being taken advantage of, the media should be thanking them. The media has no right to complain or say nasty things about celebrities.
Her comment is causing some serious drama between her and the media. There is a media ban on Tangmoe.
Opinions from the public at Manager where this news was published:
“The truth is Tangmoe did not conduct herself well at all. However, I think the media should have face and enough value to not go around insulting others like this na krap. It would be a good thing to look at yourself for once. Don’t fabricate news and go around insulting celebrities all day. -Guy”
“This is pretty funny, when this article points out Tangmoe did this wrong and that. The public opinion right now is against the media. Though they don’t agree with Tangmoe, they are cursing the media. I agree too, I see that the media is at fault here. When they are not happy, they write news to curse out someone. The media has become someone you can’t touch. They claim freedom of speech, a threat to media, but there is no control of friendliness or ethics of the media, even though the media has never showed the ethics to which they are trying to protect. To this day, we don’t know what the ethics of the media is. The media needs to reexamined themselves urgently.”
“I don’t like Tangmoe, I don’t like it when she doesn’t think before she speaks. But I hate the media more. Let me ask you frankly, reporters do they have more ethics than Tangmoe? They only cheer for their celebrities in their affiliations. Green head (I guess that means greedy), they only lick their own bosses.”
“Make an oath with me, entertainment news right now, they cross the line. I see in entertainment magazines, they try to take pictures of models’ crotch, not lewd!!! It’s no different than perverts who secretly enjoys taking pictures of girl’s skirts. Garbage.”
“You have to look at it carefully, I think Tangmoe’s comment is worth listening to. I have observed the media’s behaviors nowadays, including the one who wrote this article. You voice your opinions to make people interested in your news, while claiming as performing your duty. The media and Tangmoe are equals. But the media is much worst. You use your duty to hurt a person you don’t like.”–This person said some more stuff that I couldn’t quite understand.
“I want to voice my support for Tangmoe ka and am pleased with the boldness of going against the media, who think that they are bigger than everyone and think that they can write whatever they want. They lack ethics, they ask nonsense questions, and are mentally retarded. Who do they think they are, they are just horseflies, who make a living from celebrities. Fight Tangmoe, try seeking a lawyer to see if those who have placed a ban on you have the right to do so. This is disclimination (not my spelling, they spelled it like that) ka. Sue them, especially this reporter who said you were a dara pakma (a person who speak crudely).”
“For this pair Tangmoe Vs the media, I choose Tangmoe. I think Thai media bully and hurt actors and actresses more so.”
“Celebrity reporters, if they don’t dig? Incriminate, provoke celebrities to feud, then how are they going to make a living because they don’t know how to create news.”
“Some questions they go too far. When the person doesn’t want to answer, they say that person is arrogant and want to place a ban. Reporters need to reexamined themselves. What if celebrities joined forces and protest. If you try to reconcile or ban them too. You only do it for beauty (I think this person means money). If it is not right, don’t do it.”
“I don’t like Tangmoe, but this news article is publicly dishonoring her in a way, I just don’t know. They dig up old news to make a point.”
My opinion on this matter is mix. Tangmoe can get on my last nerves, but the media annoys me too. I been translating Thai news for awhile, I’ve noticed some of their strategies, they bait. They repeat the question over and over again, in different ways, just to get the answer they want. If you are not a veteran actor or actress and not trained on how to deal with the press, you’re screwed because you will eventually break you down. Sometimes I feel like they are trying to start something. You will say the wrong thing. Interviews have been mistranslated, news articles have been written to provoke feuds. I have noticed it. I usually say, I’m going to watch lakorns now. Thai celebrity news is just too much. I don’t know what to believe.

Ploy does not know when to stop
– August 24, 2010Posted in: Thai stars
Diana wants to end it, Ploy does not. She didn’t start it, Diana did, said Ploy. Ploy is upset with Diana for telling the media she still keeps in contact with Tar Nawin, Ploy’s boyfriend, via email.
Reporters asked Ploy at the premier of her film “Chua Fah Din Salai (Eternally)” today how she felt about Diana’s interview. How Diana wanted to end this issue.
Ploy answered the question defiantly:”I did not start this na ka. I did not say anything na ka. I just answered what I thought was right. If she thinks like that, it’s good. I was not the person who started up this issue. I have said everything clearly already.”
In her interview, Diana has said she and Ploy are friends. They wouldn’t argue over something like this. Ploy laughed at the notion that they are friends. “This I have to wonder about too. I have listened to her interview when I started dating P’Tar, she said, “I’m happy for both my beloved friends”. I was baffled by it a little. Since when did I become her beloved friend? When she said I was her friend since we were 12, that is not true at all. A picture of her, I don’t even have. I’m still confuse when I became her beloved friend.”
Diana has said Ploy is a sweetheart that came out to help her with an event without accepting a fee. Ploy doesn’t recall doing that ever. “I don’t remember. When you’re in the entertainment industry, you will run into each other. To say that we are close friends, it’s not true at all. The issue with this is that it doesn’t make sense. She didn’t have to say that we were close friends. None of my friends are close friends with her.”
Also they were never classmates like Diana said, Ploy has never attended an international school. “She studied at the RC International school, I studied at the Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) school ka,” said Ploy. That was a totally in your face kinda comment.
On her twitter account, Ploy welcomed a new nang’ek, reporters wondered if it was a sarcastic gesture for Diana. “This is very funny. I have become Lin Ping (the name of a Panda in the Chiangmai zoo), I don’t know what you think of me as, I have my own channel now. Someone sent me an SMS saying Lin Ping walk carefully, your nails my break na. Drink a lot, you will have a better complexion. I thought it was funny, so I put it on twitter. I labeled it as Lin Ping. If you want to see it, you can. Right now, everything I say or do, I’m throwing a tantrum, I’m being too harsh. I can understand.”
Ploy does feel hurt that she is the one who is deemed the villain in this case where as Diana is named the nang’ek. “I feel hurt, I’m a person who is frank. I did not start this issue. I’m a person too. I do feel angry and I do have a temper. I believe that everything I have said had reasoning. I have spoken clearly. I don’t want to make this issue more complicated with Diana. It’s not even an issue.”
It is still an issue because Ploy continues to write down her personal thoughts on twitter and facebook. She is not stopping either. “I still write there. I complain there often. But I’m trying to keep it from affecting other people.”
Because of the media attention and drama, event organizers want Diana and Ploy paired together for their events, Diana has rejected the offer. Ploy knows nothing about it.
“Really? They have not contacted me.”
Ploy said she can work with Diana. “I can do it. There wouldn’t be a problem. We are friends. But to answer truthfully, I don’t want an issue. It’s better if we keep our distance. Also, I don’t like events for publicity. Though my image seems harsh. I’m a still and chill person. I rather focus on my personal work.”
Tar is upset over this issue too, but does not want to say anything to stir up more drama. Tar has been called a guy who has no respect for woman, Ploy feels sorry for him. “In our lives, we have love, and we are in the ET industry, we would have to face news like this. We told each other, we would stay strong. It’s easy to sway a person. There is always problems. We were doing fine, then there is an issue. But I think it’s alright. It will pass. This issue is not even big. It’s trivial.”
Paint, Dome’s girlfriend, went online and wrote ‘what comes around goes around’. Though they have ended their relationship, Ploy still talks about Dome, which really annoys Paint apparently. “I have never said anything. I understand that a lot of people are cursing me out, saying things about me.”
“You should go check it, I have never said anything to make Paint feel burdened. I have been clear on my end, I don’t believe Paint said that. It’s not true. I have never met her. If I did, it would be okay na. Because it is unrelated. Another thing, Dome and I are friends. I have never made her feel burdened. Or done this or that. Someone asked me questions and it had to do with work, I had to answer it. Privately I have made it clear, Paint does not need to feel worried.”
