Gone are the days when celebrities are like superstars in the real sense of the world. To become successful, they now reach out to the public and risk showing their vulnerabilities. Today’s celebrities are devoid of their mystery especially those who are still on the way to the top — and these include modes, actors, singers and other performers.

In the Philippines, for instance, reality shows are big hits. People would like to see that the celebrities they look up to are also human. That they are also imperfect like their fans — that they also have hopes, fears and dreams. Which is why reality shows like Pinoy Dream Academy, Pinoy Big Brother and Pinoy Idol enjoy huge popular demand.
