The Mega Reunion

I usually hit the sheets early on Sundays but the other night, I tried to fight back sleepiness for that much-awaited mega reunion of the formerly famous Sharon-Gabby tandem plus their daughter KC. Earlier in the news, the reunion was supposedly set for KC’s new show but turned out later to be intended for Sharon’s. (Apologies to my US-based high school friends Binky and Debra for the wrong info.)

KC did the opening number with a song that said about “new version of me” or something. After which Gabby comes in and they sang together the theme song of the movie they were promoting. Following the humdrum duet, KC calls in her ninang ZsaZsa Padilla to help her out in dealing with the apparently uncomfortable meeting again of her biological parents after 15 years. While the 3 of them were still busy chatting on national TV, the visibly conscious megastar walks in, probably too eager and couldn’t wait to share the same stage with her ex-husband and daughter. KC seemed a bit tensed with her parents’ first public reunion after a long time. Indulge her. It’s never easy to be an estranged couple’s daughter, much less having Sharon and Gabby as parents. Gabby on the other hand was rather unperturbed and appears to be enjoying the moment (as if he’s the only one among the 3 who’s ever moved on). Sharon, as always, turns out to be the feeblest party of them all, with her incessant syrupiness of ancient times. To think the audience wasn’t even bantering at all!

Having been dumped by the ever youthful-looking Gabby eons ago, Sharon’s retribution rather seems the other way around. Like adding up those superfluous flab and annoying “pagpapacute” making her self look even more pathetic. I wonder which is harder to do in getting back at an ex – get fit and look deliciously gorgeous for the ex to drool on or, putting on those extra pounds and look terribly unattractive making the ex puke and wonder how the hell did he ever fall for you in the first place! I bet Sharon gave more attention on the latter. Standing alone beside the very lean Gabby is totally a disaster. No amount of any black ensemble (from head to toe) can cover up those unwanted love handles she couldn’t get rid of for the longest time. And with Gabby summing it all up by also wearing black tops, it only made him look even more like half the size of Sharon! Now where did all the studio’s stylists go?

I skipped most of their discussions on the show because it only made me hate my former idol Sharon more. Yeah, I used to be a huge fan. The whole family used to be a huge fan. Watching a Sharon movie then used to be a family tradition. But that was eons ago too. These days I can proudly say, I can already afford to pay no attention to any news on Sharon (except for this reunion ruckus) and get on with my early Sunday sleep. Yeah. After all, I’m already done watching Kris earlier on The Buzz!
