WE FEEL SAD for Ethel Booba (Ethel Gabison in real life). She was given all the chances by GMA-7 to make a name for herself and she was almost there as a TV host (especially in “Extra Challenge”) and as a comedian, but she wasted all the good opportunities that came her way by indulging in one cheap act after another. The worst was the sex video scandal she got involved in when she had a stormy relationship with cager Alex Crisano. Her career went downhill after that and she went back to singing and hosting in singalong bars. Now, she’s in the news again for setting the condo unit she’s renting on fire after she had a fight with her Romanian BF. She was interviewed in “Showbiz Central” looking spaced out. “Lost of temper,” she said. “Naubos na ang pasensiya ko.” She said the guy is her “sex boyfriend”. “Tinatakot ko lang, hindi ko akalaing aabout sa ganun.” The building administrator wanted to sue her but she promised to vacate the unit and just pay for the damages incurred by her unruly behavior, so they had an amicable settlement. Ethel is what they call "nalunod sa isang basong tubig." Maybe she thinks she’s in the company of Hollywood stars like Lindsay Lohan, Cristina Aguilera and Charlie Sheen, who were also all in the news lately for misbehaving.
