HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The movers and skakers of the American television industry have just had it with indecent exposure on live TV and on the red carpet at awards shows.

In a rare move by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Cable Television Association (NCTA) with the full support of all major U.S. television networks, a memorandum of agreement has been signed that will ban all indecent exposure by actors, singers and entertainers on live TV and at all red carpet ceremonies in awards shows.

The move came soon after pop singer Miley Cyrus appeared on the red carpet at last night’s MTV Video Musis Awards, wearing a top that barely covers her upper torso.

“It is time that we take back the decency and family-oriented nature of television and ban entertainers from exposing themselves before viewers, among them children and teens,” the agreement stated. “We will also blacklist any entertainer who claims ‘wardrobe malfunction’ during live performances.

The initial list of those banned from future live TV appearances included Cyrus, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Janet Jackson.

MPAA is an American trade association that represents the six major Hollywood studios.

NCTA is the major trade organization for the American cable television industry.

DONALD TRUMP COMES CLEAN ABOUT HIS HAIR, BUT WHAT ABOUT HIS MAKEUP?

150827-trump-hair-check-729p_2f3259da3675d94565d11c9fbe52cd69.nbcnews-ux-2880-1000 GREENVILLE, South Carolina (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump finally came clean about his hair today during a campaign speech in Greenville, South Carolina.

He put to rest rumors that he wears a toupee. He called on a woman in the audience and asked her to touch his hair to prove that it was all au naturel. The woman did confirm that it was.

Now that that’s settled, the new rumor is that The Donald wears makeup to conceal his eye bags.

Many in the media have long noticed that Trump’s photos and videos always showed what seemed to be a white patch of cream or powder underneath his eyes.

Not that it makes any difference. Media interest was more focused on which brand of concealer he uses: Mac or Clinique?

BLACK JOURNALISTS PAY $10 PER MINUTE TO SEE PRINCE AT SINGER’S PAISLEY PARK

August 9, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – At least 650 members of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) accepted an invitation from Prince to pay $20 apiece to visit the Paisley Park studio complex used by the entertainer outside Minneapolis Saturday night in hopes of seeing the star himself, according to Richard Prince (no relation to the singer) of Journal-isms.

But the NABJ members — and an additional 227 people who paid $50 for the privilege — saw an appearance of just two minutes or so in which the entertainer plugged his upcoming recording. That’s $10 and $25 per minute, respectively.

He did not perform.

The journalists were in Minneapolis for their annual national convention.

But NABJ convention organizers still praised the last-minute invitation and event.

Per policy, cell phones and cameras are not allowed inside Paisley Park. So the journalists had no choice but leave their mobile devices in their hotel rooms.

The result? No calls, no tweets, no Facebook or Instagram posts. Just the good old, person-to-person conversation! (Although some attendees said a selfie with Prince would have been nice.)

All’s well that ends well.
