I remember a friend of mine back home who used to be an intern for a local TV network. The local TV network produced some local variety shows, gag shows, drama shows and the local news program. At the network's office, she was assigned at the Production Department as Production Assistant or PA. Her main duty was to help the other production staff and bigwigs in the production of the local shows. For example, when there are casting calls, she took care of the lists of those who auditioned and during casting call auditions, she would help out in the short-listing. At a casting call one time, she met unexpectedly some of her classmates who would want to try out for a role.

Her other duties were to write some of the scripts for some of the shows, took care of some of the exchange deals with sponsors for the shows and even escorted some celebrities. During tapings and shootings, she would also join get hold of the idiot boards for the hosts to read. I really think she had so much fun working there as an intern. Too bad it was just for a short time as it was only a requirement for school. I'm sure if she'd apply for a position in that TV network, she'd get a job as many have already known her and has seen her work.

I am a TV and movie buff and I have always been a fan of reality shows like Big Brother, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, MasterChef US and other reality shows. I never would want to miss any of the episodes of these shows, and I do, I'd wait for their replays so that I won't miss a thing. Sometimes though, I would wonder if these shows really are a mirror to what is real. I mean, are they really for real? If only I could get to see open casting calls or maybe personally line up at auditions so that I can really tell if these are real.

I would like to think that it is the prize and fame that thousands of people try their luck in free casting calls and auditions. It is really enticing though but just thinking of the thousands of other competitors, your luck may just be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Well, that's probably the reason why I just sit back, relax and enjoy these shows, I wouldn't want to go pressing my body in those auditions, besides I do not have the talent and probably would not pass any casting call or audition. As for me, I'd rather enjoy watching these movies and shows with my family.

Star Power is hosted by Sharon Cuneta, Erik Santos and Christian Bautista. Star Power judges include Mitch Valdez, Direk Bobot Mortiz, and Billy Crawford.

Speaking of Star Power, I'm sure most of K-La Rivera's fan was shocked when they announced she has to leave. Anyway, my top 3 bet was Angeline Quinto, Krissel Valdez, and Monica Sacay. I would like to congratulate Angeline Quinto, Star Power Grand Champion.

Lady Castle starring Yoon Eun Hye as Kang Hyena, Yoon Sang Hyun as Suh Dong-chan, Jung Il Woo as Lee Tae-yoon, Moon Chae Won as Yeo Yi-joo, and Wang Suk Hyun as Kang Sumin. It was Yoon Eun Hye's comeback after two years following the highly successful The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince.

Being the only successor to the largest conglomerate company, Kang San Group, Kang Hye Na has both the looks and the background. She is the owner of the ‘Lady Castle’ and lives a ‘princess-like’ life with her servants.

Until one day, out of pure coincidence, she comes across Seo Dong Chan who turns her life upside down. Not only does he make her do community service, he even kidnapped her... and now he's the new household manager!!! Even after stepping on him, crushing him and biting him, he still doesn't run away. She may have finally met her match. - Dramawiki.com
