The good news is, Sam Milby’s not in it (rumor had it he was going to play Nate Archibald’s role). The bad news is, the Philippine version of Gossip Girl is *here* and as expected, it’s a bucket of lulz. It’s tacky, it’s stupid, it’s pretentious, it’s ugly, it’s hokie, the boys look like douches, the accents (aka attempts at sounding rich) are horrible, most of the cast can’t act, and it fails. Miserably.
Seriously, watch this teaser (LOL at the narrator’s bad inflection, especially when she says “the younger generation”. Why so perky?):
Notice how they’re all “I’m rich I’m rich I’m awesome because I’m rich, even though my clothes look like the cheap shit you get in Divisoria I’m rich and I’m powerful and popular but I’m very sad, too, because I’m a teen and I have real problems oh and hey look! I HAS A GUN! YEY! Lemme wave it around for you while I talk about how rich and awesome and powerful I am!”
Are you freakin’ kidding me. Do you see that kind of bullshit and stereotyping in Gossip Girl? Of course not. Why? Because it’s cheap behavior. And maybe this joke of a TV show (Lipgloss) shouldn’t be compared to the real McCoy (Gossip Girl) because it’s not an exact adaptation, but it’s kind of hard not to when there are so many obvious similarities in the plot and the characters. I don’t know what I just said but I think what I’m trying to say is that this spin off is disgusting (can’t think of another word) and riding on GG’s popularity. God, the thought of it alone gives me goosebumps of horror. I mean, SERIOUSLY?! Can you imagine just how dumb and vapid each train wreck of an episode is going to be???
And who the heck names their kid Julivee?
Pilot (which aired yesterday) preview:
Face of the First School Day? With a trophy and flowers and a public awarding? Really? Really??? I bet my ass that my idiot cat, Bobby, who catatonically stares at walls and the floor for hours can pen a better show than this.
I mean, there is nothing exceptional about Gossip Girl to begin with. I watch it for the pretty people and Chuck Bass (my GG episodes take up around 5 gigs of my hard drive). People love the show because, while it has nothing substantial to contribute to the betterment of the world and society (unless Ed Westwick takes off his shirt, which I am crossing my fingers for), we want to be them. I seriously can’t think of anyone who’d want to be an Abby (who calls herself a second generation showbiz brat, whatever the heck that is. She’s pretty, though) or a Meg (who seems really really lame and can’t speak properly).
He he. I know someone who writes for this show. They’re enjoying it. The idea for mini-skirts came out of a Cebu school.
“The idea for mini-skirts came out of a Cebu school.”
LOL, I’d bet my life that Cebu school isnt the first to have their students wear miniskirts as their uniforms. EYE ROLL.
Again: the show sucks.
Wow. That’s messed up and pretentious.
Let’s start a petition against it, yes? (Yeah I know that might not make a difference, but yeah. :|)
omg. why do people even create such shows. ang jologs naman nito.
Because ABC 5 has a new name lolzz and they need a buzz, maybe.
I am not going to watch it. YUCK!
They also have a show coming out called My So-Called College Life. Say Alonzo’s in it. I sigh.
Alonzo? The Bea?
Fuuuuccckkk. No please. No.
When I saw the commercial for this show, my mouth dropped. (`o`) The plot is so similar to that of GG. I agree that GG is not so life changing of a show, but rip it off? That’s just tacky.
The only redeeming quality of Gossip Girl is its latent function as a fashion guide. Well okay that, and it does an amazing job of suspending your disbelief, sucking you into their world, and making you wish you had their money, their fashion sense, and their superficial non-problems.
Not only is Lipgloss a cheap, tacky spinoff of GG; it fails miserably at pretending to be original. Horrible acting, HORRIBLE clothes (my ukay wardrobe is more fashionable than the curtains they’re wearing!), horrible storyline, (ugly) cardboard-thin characters. Nobody’s going to buy it. Well at least, I’m hoping people will be smart enough to not watch it.
They… they shut down ABC5 for THIS?
I’m just going to watch it for the LULZ.
argh! ang corny! ang lame!
Haha… This goes along the lines of so bad its bad hehe… I think the nerdy guy is pretty authentic though :p
This is an aberration of the awesomeness of GG D:
Seriously, I didn’t think it could be that bad when I was reading what you wrote, but after playing the videos, I couldn’t stand them past the half of them!
I want to like this show, but it’s just so hard because the acting just sucks, so does the accent. Gossip Girl was such an easy show to love even though I hated it in the beginning for trying to replace The OC. But this one, OMFG: IT SUCKS.
Oh and that Cebu school thing, I know which school it is. CIE (Center for International Education). They wear a white button down, with a really short green/black/blue checkered skirt and long black knee-high socks with black shoes. It looks hot when I see them around malls and stuff, because I know they’re actually fucking rich brats who have all the money to spend and drive a BMW to school, but this show just doesn’t do the justice from what I’ve seen.
I was soo intrigued I had to watch that and I was like “ARE YOU SERIOUS?!” ahahhahahah
I LOL’d when I first saw this. Gaddemet, what are they doing?
And OMG Meg! that’s Francis Magalona’s daughter? the Abby chick looks kinda like blair.
Wow, that’s pretty bad, haha.
You GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! OMFG!
[...] LIPGLOSS: Philippine TV’s newest failure I saw Helga’s update on Twitter yesterday where she was saying something like there is a local spin-off of the popular TV show Gossip Girl. I was like, what on earth?! I had to confirm it with her, though coz that would be pure horror, given the fact that Filipino shows tend to be lame when it comes to adaptations. Turned out it’s true people! It’s on TV5! It’s so tacky I thought I’m gonna drop dead! Helga blogged about it here. [...]
“serena” said we should stop calling it the philippine gossip girl coz it’s not…oh how true. LOLLLLLLLL
even if it’s not GG….WHY?
i’m rich i have power and if popularity is power then i am the most powerful LOL whatever i can’t get over how lame it is
Maxine Eigenmann (the girl who plays the Blair Waldorf-esque character) actually kind of looks like Leighton Meester.
And no, this is definitely a Gossip Girl ripoff. Definitely. Iiiiick.
Also, did one of them just say “RUGS to riches”? Double ick. Hahaha!
I’ll link you to a few of my friends ha. They should know. We’ll join in the petition against it. Haha.
She said “RUGS TO RITCHES” as my friend Sam pointed out. And someone said “konseekwenses”, too. lol.
Maxine Eigenmann is very pretty and Leighton Meester-y, I agree.
OMG! *falls dead* So it’s true?? Oh that is soooo tacky and embarrassing!!! I’ll join that petition! LOLZ!
do they have to keep rubbing in that they’re rich?
they don’t look it or rather sound like one.
i just threw up in my mouth.
lmfaoooo omg dying wtf is that. that is the lulziest thing ever
OMG my sister should know this. She’s gonna be suicidal for a while! YEY.
This could have been done right, had they given it a bit more thought and if the writers had a bit more imagination. Too bad they rushed it (probably to beat abs and gma to the punch) and most likely skimped on the writing talent (not to mention the acting.)
Ah well, Philippine TV, rotting your brain since 1983.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
ok I’ll stop LMAO. now.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
As a mother once of high school kids and being active in PTA’s in different schools, I cannot imagine such a plot existing…it’s fantasy.
I’m not in. I have no idea what GG has. I haven’t seen a single episode. Not even a single snippet. *sigh* at least I have my rockstardom. And fashion sense. HOOK ME UP WITH THEM DVDs AND TORRENTZ ORREDEH! That or I’ll pay the MCS suki a visit ASAP. kthnx.
lololol!!!
and what the f*ck were they thinking when they decided to put Mikee (from PBB) in there with the Chuck Bass character? the hell.
“And who the heck names their kid Julivee?”
Oh, I have an answer for that! Someone who doesn’t like the burgers at Mekdonelds or Windis.
Seriously, couldn’t the writers at the new TV5 have come up with something more CREATIVE? Couldn’t they have hired thinking writers instead of a few people chained to a perpetual playlist of CW4?
diba anak yun ni Francis M.?
so sayang. cmon h, we live for these shows. so guilty pleasure! :P
OMFG was my first reaction.
what are Americans going to say about this?!
Heck, im supposedly busy right now but I couldnt hel but post something in here out of sheer embarassment being a Filipino PLUS sheeer fury that some stupid producers had to do something like this to make me even more embarassed. od, im even embarassed for the actors. Louise is pretty but the moment she starts talking I roll on the floor laughing, Accent niya parang bangketa girl. Abby is ridiculously pretty. Saab is a nice girl and pretty too. And Cheska can act, duh. I just feel bad they all had to be known as the cast of a show stupid simply because the producers didn’t have the brains to create one themselves. Filipinos as copycats is the oldest story ever.
hahaha..klala qoh si louise,, she is mary grace perido,,,kbatchm8 qoh xa from s.a.s…apir tau jan…she’s nyc and pretty tsaka mdunong mag acting xpecially when she performed noong araw ng wika… cguro d p xa snay s acting s tv dat’s why gnun xa magsalita…peo gr.3 plang ata kmi nag eextra extra n un s mga shows…hahaha peo mppgmlki qoh xa khit gnun accent nia….hehehe^^
tangina. sayang yung actors. some can really act / are pretty. Nahihiya ako like crazy. =( i love the real GG and this is just a piece of shit Filipino teens trying to act but instead making a fool of themselves.
I swear I got goosebumps when I saw the trailer. And I only get goosebumps when I’m cold or am about to throw up.
LOL
Chill! hehehe….
Did a post on that before
Haven’t seen it… but by reading your post… I guess it really sucks… hahaha…
Alam ko mahal mo ako… XOXO
yuk yuk
you’re damn right!
(applause)
I almost puke when I watched its video.
and what’s with the gun??haha
lipgloss haters are being called stupid,wth? for hating a rip-off tv show i’m being called stupid? I can’t believe it.

julivee? it’s like jollibee said in a bisaya accent.lmao
let’s bring this show down baby!
a petition eh? count me in!
… K.
I can’t help but ask myself who could their intended audience be? I doubt this is a “pang-masa” show. And I doubt rich kids will watch this crap. Everybody else will just watch downloaded episodes of Gossip Girl.
WTH. I thought it was just a joke. Totoo pala. Walang originality. I’m suddenly ashamed to be a filipino.
I’ve read a certain newspaper, that says: blahblah lipgloss reportedly “formatted” under the U.S tv series Gossip girl.
Are they like denying it??
and telling that we’re only accusing them of being copycats?
and they don’t have any idea about it??
ah.gee
ahhmm….pls don’t be silly gurls ang guyz………… gossip thing is negative traits okay? think positive …….
C RODGUN CRUZ NLNG ANG MAG HABOL NG MAG HABOL KAY SAAB MAGALONA ..WU KNOWS C ABBY PA ANG SA HULI ANG MAG MAMAKAAWA AT HINDI C MEG…….. HAYZZZZZ…….. WU CARES NMAN KUNG CNU CNU UNG MGA TAONG MATATALO AT THE END?

eeeeww…………………. sabi nga ni Cherie Gil, You’re nothing but second rate trying hard Fucking Copy CATS
My dear Nicole, confused kang tao ka! Mga sinabi mo, very contradicting… Lam mo mas nakakhiya ang mga sinulat mo… bilang TOTOONG FILIPINO!
LOL, define “totoong Filipino”
ok sya
2 minutes through the trailer and you lost me. T__T It’s painful to watch. I cringe.
But … but … I’m starting to love it … (BITES OFF ARM)
F***ING sht!!! this is crap!!!!
i bet Julivee is the daughter of JOLIBEE??? and these kid doesnt even look rich. FAR FROM IT!!!
THE TITLE: LIPGLOSS
wtf!
oh lolsO_o
no comment. xD
but wait, this is a commentO_o
shucks, it uh. sucks.
and we quote from a friend,
“utang na loob, kasalan ito sa diyos.”
some of the actors.. well, uh actually I can only think of Sam Concepcion, is quite decent (and, yeah, cute) though ^^
nood nalang for the free laughsXD
hahahaha. (laugh)
hey pat, let’s shut up.
sure, orio. but wait, why don’t I have an online pseudonym like you? unfaaaaair Y.Y
malay ko xD
OKay. Done commenting. xD
I am now officially ashamed of being a Filipino. And I must say, that the first video makes me want to smack each and every one of them, just because they’re so stereotypical.
But despite that, this is pure lulz. A few more comments though:
For people *so* rich, why was their setting so cheap? just a studio with colored backgrounds? (first video)
Everything looks half-baked, they could have done something about the lighting.
The choice in music sucks and it was too loud.
They’re trying too hard with the acting, it’s quite annoying.
And, what was up with that ending? LOL.
Oh well, at least it provided some degree of amusement for a lot of us.
TO JUICE:
“It looks hot when I see them around malls and stuff, because I know they’re actually fucking rich brats who have all the money to spend and drive a BMW to school, but this show just doesn’t do the justice from what I’ve seen.”
—
First of all I want to say that LIPGLOSS is appalling and it can never be a Philippine-style “Gossip Girl”
–
and for Juice..
How dare you make assumptions of my school.. Do you actually know ANYONE from MY school!? Not everyone in CIE goes around town bringing a BMW.. in fact a number of students are “normal” students who just goes to CIE because of the excellent education it gives out.. not only does it give advance classes in Math and Business Studies.. it also gives you a chance to be affiliated with Cambridge University. And A LOT of PEOPLE from MY SCHOOL are NICE.. and HAVE BRAINS.. because you’re basically saying is that CIEans have NO BRAINS and are just RICH BRATS. I would have to say that.. what you are implying is COMPLETELY FALSE. Go over to my school and see for yourself.
Aww, I’m pretty sure Juice isn’t the first person to make assumptions about your school and the majority of its population. One person’s opinion and/or generalization shouldn’t really matter if it’s not true, don’t you think? Juice didn’t say CIE students are a bunch of brainless kids, and her comment wasn’t meant to insult or offend anyone (except the people behind Lipgloss, haha) :)
Nyahahaha. Yeah dude I wasn’t making assumptions coz I KNOW. You should be pleased because I know your school is better and I actually RESPECT the people in it. Don’t see it in a negative light. :P
well thank you! :) I appreciate that! CIE rocks!
ANO BA!!!!!! Tigilan nyo na ang pag compare sa GG at Lipgloss, very Filipino ang story ng Lipgloss than GG. Lawakan nyo naman ang pag iisip nyo!!!!! Try nyo… Baka mas maging better kayong tao… Than BITTER!!!
Well, duh, of course Lipgloss is going to be “very Filipino ang story ng Lipgloss than GG”— GG isn’t a Philippine production.
ahh..excuse me? you seem to be out of your mind..
Thank you risu (bakit nga pala hindi proper noun ang pangalan mo?)
Anyway, nood ka lang and pilitin kong hanapan ka ng character dun. Yung mas hihigit pa kay Abby and Steph! Okay?
” Our carping criticisms of other people are really nothing but… UNRECOGNIZED BITS OF AUTOBIOGRAPHY. If you want to know a person is like…listen to what he says about other people” ( The Spectrum of Consciousness, p. 203)
INGAT at baka masyado kayong makilala base sa mga sinasabi nyo! Tsk!5x
hahahaha.
Helga, I am now unsubscribing to this particular entry.
sumakit ulo ko. lol.
I just watched an episode after it’s first week, but just on YouTube. I didn’t even get past the 5 minute mark because I couldn’t take it. Most comments are exactly my thoughts. :)
I REALLY SUGGEST NA MANOOD KAYO THIS SATURDAY… Napanood ko na in advance ang episode 7… And it’s really… really good. Super kilig sya and funny at the same time. What’s more intriguingly SEXY AND HOT!!!
Don’t dare miss it!!! Then… Judge it for your self!
yeah.yeah..
Whatever.
MAJOR GG RIP-OFF!!!
It’s disturbing, pathetic, revolting, humiliating, and whatever-that’s-negative adjective.
Hindi kasali sa pagtangkilik sa gawang Pinoy ang panonood ng katulad nito na hango naman sa palabas sa ibang bansa, especially since magkaibang-magkaiba ang depiction sa Pinoy at American kids.
Mikee Lee = Chuck Bass?
Give me a break.
someone commented that they would never watch this show…its just that..its so…its so….UH! i hate her.
well,the characTers in the story are also kinda popular in real life,well,some of them. and, their eps actually have a story to tell,i think. but for them to make a “gossip girl”philippine version with “highschool students”( because to tell you the truth,i think that they are actually in college),i just cant take it, i mean, imagine a version with high school freshmen flirting with a mom of their senior and a senior having a sex video with the bf of her bestfriend.its HIGHSCHOOL,so, they should be portraying ..something!and for me,to tell you the truth,a sixth grader from the philippines,this heck of show is actually a big FICTIONAL FREEKIN’ SHOW!
AND..um..one more thing, please…im begging you.. please stop using such words in front of the whole word,and,now,that i actually think about it ,this show has only its plot coming from GG.but,if they REALLY want to copy and rip off GG, they would copy the names of the “originals”, they would make meg=serena,abby=blaire,and the whole character.but, i guess, that this is just how filipinos learn on how to adopt on the america culture.like what my mom said,they cant make serena on th philippine television have *** with his bf on a sofa while preparing for her bf’s brother’s wedding.they CANT make the show like that.and, who knows,they might just do a real “Gossip Girl Philippines” with the hottest artist sensations in todays time on the station’s original station(ABS-CBN).and, another thing, HIGH SCHOOL GALS IN PHILIPPINES ARE NOT LIKE THOSE OF AMERICA.
Grabe!!! Napanood ko na episode 10… Ang daming EXPLOSIVE REVELATIONS!!! EXITING SA GANDA!!! Ang kasabwat ni Maui ay si…..
Watch na lang tomorrow @5pm, TV5
EEEWWW.
WTF.
Kahit kelan talaga.
The Philippines is super CORNY K.
pati ba naman gossip girl? YUCK. pwede ba.
GAYA GAYA talaga :))<
