Mariel and Robin on E-Live

It's Mariel's birthday and she had an interview with the new special person in her life, Robin Padilla.
In the interview Robin shared about the women in his life. He said that after his marriage ended two years ago he thought that he would never love again.
Then Mariel asked him if that's the case why did he gave her a ring, then showing the diamond ring.
Robin said that it's a gift, it doesn't mean that their relationship is official. He just want Mariel to wear the ring for her to remember him always.
Lot's of mushy stuff... He still talks and acts like Robin Padilla... the bad boy with a romantic and gentleman side.
I wish them luck!
As for Mariel... I really loved the way she looked on this show. I love the Hair do and make up. =)

Carla Abellana as Rosalinda

‘Rosalinda’s’ Carla Abellana is available

By WALDEN SADIRI
mb.com.ph

If Carla Abellana gave up her corporate job immediately for a career in showbiz, her reason was simple – being cast as the star of GMA-7’s newest primetime soap opera “Rosalinda” is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

“I never planned to be an actress and I never planned to enter showbiz. It was really an impulsive decision but I know it was the right decision because I’m enjoying it already,” said an elated Carla during the press launch of “Rosalinda” recently.

Ms. Wilma Galvante, GMA Network’s Senior Vice President for Entertainment, said that after Carla auditioned for the role of “Rosalinda,” they asked her to quit her job because they found her to be the perfect fit for Rosalinda. And since then, they’ve worked on Carla’s imaging, acting and in imbibing in her the character of “Rosalinda.”

“Now that the show is about to start, overwhelmed I think is the word to describe what I feel,” smiled Carla. “Nag-stop talaga ako from work. I was happy I had a normal life. Convenient po ang buhay ko but I know this was an opportunity I must grab!”

Her decision was also based on the fact that showbiz is not an easy industry to succeed in and “Rosalinda” was more than she expected as a newcomer in the entertainment business.

“It was really a very good opportunity for me especially now that a lot of people are unemployed and it’s hard to look for a job. And I’ve just been given a big job. I know there’s a lot of actresses who were willing to take such role so I told myself that this was the big break for me. This was a big blessing from God so why should I turn it down?” she proudly shared.

Also surprised about her decision to step into the limelight of showbiz were her grandmother, veteran actress Delia Razon (the mother of her mom, Rhea Reyes) and her father, former actor Rey “PJ” Abellana.

“They were surprised because we never considered showbiz before for me. But then they all became excited. They gave me pieces of advice. They both told me to be humble and to always smile especially since it’s fun to be in showbiz,” related Carla.

She also admitted that adjusting to a showbiz life from an ordinary life was hard. A self-confessed homebody, she now misses her family who she doesn’t get to see as often as before anymore.

“Actually, everything in showbiz was a challenge for me like adjusting to the role, adjusting to the story, to the showbiz lifestyle in terms of a hectic schedule and all the hair and make-up processes, to the other cast members and more. I’m just happy that everyone, including my directors Maryo J. Delos Reyes and Gil Tejada, and the whole cast were very nice to me,” she said.

But does she think she could adjust well to intrigues in showbiz?

“Like what I’ve said before, you won’t learn unless the intrigues are there. You can never prepare yourself fully for intrigues unless you’re really there. It is a matter of reacting to it, it’s your attitude towards intrigues,” she replied.

One of the intrigues she is facing at the moment is with her leading man, Geoff Eigenmann as Fernando Jose in the series. They are already being romantically linked to one another especially since both are said to be “certified singles.”

“It is flattering to be liked by somebody else,” blushed the actress after hearing that Geoff’s jaws dropped the first time he saw her. “He is very good and he guides me. There were times, it is true, that I was nervous, and Geoff would stay with me, talk to me and he’ll put me at ease.”

She stressed though that it’s still early to tell if something romantic would develop between them during the season of “Rosalinda.”

“I’m available and open. Ayaw kong maging hadlang yung ganun sa trabaho ko... he is mabait kahit sino pa yan kakausapin niya and bibigyan niya ng oras and attention. He is a gentleman talaga… I’m not closing myself to Geoff and height doesn’t matter because it is a matter of personality,” she explained.

Carla has had only two boyfriends. Her last one was a basketball player who she described to be understanding about her showbiz career.

“He actually encouraged me to pursue showbiz. So bilang respeto sa akin, sa oras at sa bagong career at sa bagong buhay ko, I need time for my new career. Bilang respeto I also have to give him his own time,” said Carla about her recent break-up with her boyfriend.

At the moment, Carla is enjoying her role as Rosalinda. She confessed that the character of Rosalinda has sunk into her as early as when they shot the show’s cinema plugs. Despite long working hours, she enjoys every taping day. For her, her workshops under Joel Lamangan gave her more confidence as an actress and made her comfortable about acting.

Does she see herself in Rosalinda?

“Yes. I think we have a lot of similarities. We’re both simple and we love our families very much. Kahit ano ipaglalaban niya ‘wag lang matapakan ang values and paniniwala niya.

She’ll really stand up for her family and for her friends. She is simple lang and hindi palaban pero once her family is involved that’s the time she steps up,” Carla described.

Airing on July 6 after “Zorro” in GMA-7’s primetime block, also in “Rosalinda” are Katrina Halili, Roderick Paulate, Sheryl Cruz, Ariel Rivera, Gary Estrada, Glydel Mercado, Jessa Zaragosa, Yul Servo, Sherilyn Reyes, Ryza Cenon, Mike Tan, Mart Escudero, Sheena Halili, Marco Alcaraz, Marky Lopez, Carlene Aguilar, Ayen Munji-Laurel, Gian Magdangal and Crystal Reyes.

“I’m really praying for the success of ‘Rosalinda.’ I admit that the pressure is there but at the same time enjoy na lang, take it one day at a time,” Carla said as she flashed her captivating Rosalinda smile!

She is beautiful!

I hope she gives justice to Rosalinda. =)

Maricar Reyes on May Bukas Pa

Maricar Reyes will be guesting in May Bukas Pa. She will be playing as a taong grasa.
Santino will be making a difference in another girl's life. =)

We have seen Maricar Reyes in several commercials and have seen her acting on Betty la Fea as Armando's first love. But her name started to make noise when it was involved in Hayden Kho's scandal videos. After everything that has happened I can't help but admire how Maricar is dealing with all of these. I can't imagine how awful it is to be involved in a sex scandal...all the intrigues, people judging her and calling her names, people feasting on videos of her that was supposed to be kept private.
But despite all of these she did not loose respect of herself. She just continued to work and live her life with her head up. =)

Good luck Maricar.
I wish you all the best.

Kim already missing gerald

By Joseph Peter R. Conzalez

Kim Chiu admits she’d feel sad if Gerald Anderson’s next big project would be with Sarah Geronimo.

“I think it’s understandable,” explains Kim. “We’ve been together as a love team for a long time now. It’s been three years. In a way, I’ll be at a loss if ever my next screen assignments are not with him. It’s still different when he’s my leading man. I’m used to working with him.

“Now, if he’d be paired with Sarah, that’s fine with me. That’s how things are in showbiz. I’ll be happy for him. ABS-CBN just wants the best for us. I trust their decision. As for me, I’ll be okay with whoever gets paired with me in the coming days. We’re already paired with new partners. But as of now, I don’t want to think about it,” she states.

“Actually, what we have right now is a special friendship. As for the real score, there’s nothing definite. I just go with the flow. What’s important is that we’re enjoying each other’s company. And one thing more, it’s hard to focus on a romantic relationship at this point in time considering my busy schedule. I can’t give enough time for the guy if ever and that would be unfair,” says Kim.

Meanwhile, because of its very good showing in the ratings chart, ABS-CBN decided to extend Tayong Dalawa for a few more months.

Marian as next Darna

Darna excited to fly

manilastandardtoday.com

Marian Rivera said she was very excited to wear the Darna costume in a recent shooting for a plug of the upcoming series.

“I really felt a different high when I saw myself in the mirror in the costume. The costume is beautiful especially with the headdress. Just judge for yourselves once the plug starts showing in theaters anytime from now. It’s simply dazzling!” she says.

At present, the controversial star is in the thick of training for the much-coveted role of the popular super heroine.

“My full concentration is on my martial arts training and of course, the wearing of the harness. It’s not a simple process. It’s no joke since as Darna, I have to be credible in aerial fighting scenes. The training is rigorous and in fact, I sustained small bruises but it’s just okay.”

There are rumors that in her latest show which will start taping middle of this month, she’ll be paired with either Mark Herras or Mark Anthony Fernandez. Any comment?

“I see no problem with that. I’m in no position to choose my screen partner. I’ll just let GMA handle that aspect. I would respect their choice. Anyway, I’m okay with the two guys mentioned. The issue between me and Mark [Herras] is already water under the bridge. We’re civil with each other and chat if given the opportunity. It’s just work and I’m sure, it’ll be another great experience for me,” Marian states.

hmmm... i'm not really a fan of her but i think she's pretty and sexy.
i hope she gives justice to my favorite pinoy superhero. =)
