Marian Rivera’s secret to younger-looking skin

MANILA, Philippines - Having a sexy body is essential to superstar Marian Rivera, now Mrs. Dingdong Dantes, but maintaining fantastic skin is an entirely different story. “Having beautiful skin is very important to me, especially now that I am fond of posting in social media and Instagram.  And of course, I want Dong to fall in love with me every day,” Marian shares.

So, what’s her secret? It’s Belo Nutraceuticals Collagen Powder Drink that she takes twice a day — one in the morning, usually mixed with her coffee, and the other for dinner with her soup or juice.

”Dr. Belo keeps telling me to drink collagen,” says Marian. ”I followed her advice and after only two weeks of drinking her collagen powder drink, I already noticed that my skin felt smoother and more moisturized.”

Because of this product, she now feels and looks younger, her skin more supple and firm.

As Dr. Vicki Belo described to Marian,  youthful skin is like a brand-new sofa – firm such that when you sit on it, you are pushed back up, unlike with an old sofa, where you simply sink down.  Collagen is like springs that enhance the structure and firmness of the skin.

”I feel very honored to endorse such a breakthrough product that changes how we look at skin care,” Marian gushes.

Belo Nutraceuticals Collagen Powder Drink provides remarkable anti-aging benefits that start from within and further give the skin an abundance of strength, elasticity, and resilience.  What makes it different from other collagen drinks is that it contains hyaluronic acid, a moisture magnet that improves skin hydration, absorbing 1,000 times its weight in water molecules.

The collagen powder has a neutral taste. One sachet a day, dissolved in your favorite hot and cold beverage, be it coffee or tea, milk or yogurt, is all you need to keep your skin hydrated and firm.

Belo Nutraceuticals Collagen Powder Drink is available at Belo Medical Group clinics, Watsons, Mercury Drugstores, and other leading online stores nationwide.

Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera tie knot in grand ‘royal’ wedding

Showbiz couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera finally tied the knot in a grand wedding held Tuesday afternoon at the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral in Cubao, Quezon City.

The couple first met and starred together on the GMA primetime series “Marimar” in 2007 and officially became engaged last August after Dingdong proposed to Marian on live television. In a year when several other showbiz couples either became engaged or also tied the knot, the wedding of the couple dubbed as “Dongyan” was widely anticipated to be the biggest of the year.

And indeed it was, with no less than President Benigno Aquino III serving as best man, eight bishops and seven priests celebrating the mass, plus 40 principal sponsors, 18 groomsmen and 18 bridesmaids and 20 secondary sponsors in attendance.

Among the principal sponsors of the so-called “royal wedding” were Batangas Governor Vilma Santos, Sharon Cuneta, Vic Sotto, Ogie Alcasid and wife Regine Velasquez, Helen Gamboa, Celia Rodriguez, GMA bigwigs Felipe Gozon, Gilberto Guavit, Jr. and Lilybeth Rasonable, TV5 executive Wilma Galvante, TAPE, Inc. Chairman Tony Tuviera, producers Wilson Tieng and “Mother” Lily Monteverde, Bench owner Ben Chan, fashion designer Randy Ortiz, directors Joyce Bernal, Mark Reyes and Mac Alejandre and Dr. Vicki Belo.

Those who stood as secondary sponsors included Richard Gomez and wife Leyte 4th District Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez, Ai-Ai delas Alas, KC Concepcion, Senator Bam Aquino and child sensation Ryzza Mae Dizon, who also served as flower girl.

Marian’s close showbiz friends Roxanne Barcelo and Ana Feleo were among her maids of honor while Dingdong’s brother, Jose Angelo Dantes, was among the best men.

Among the showbiz personalities listed as bridesmaids were Agot Isidro, Bettina Carlos, Rochelle Pangilinan and the recently married Bianca Gonzalez. Actor Paolo Contis was also one of the groomsmen.

Spotted in the wedding were Senator Tito Sotto, Anjo Yllana, Alden Richards, Pokwang and KC Montero who posted updates on social media.

Dingdong wore a Randy Ortiz beige-colored suit with a black bowtie and black trousers and arrived at his wedding in style riding a Ducati Diavel Monster 1100EVO motorcycle.

Marian looked ravishing in a gown especially designed for her by Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco. The gown reportedly cost P2 million.

Marian’s Spanish father, Francisco Javier Gracia, flew in to personally witness his daughter’s special day.

The newlyweds reportedly invited over 700 guests to the reception which was held at the 18,000-seater Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Once again, 2013 Celebrity of the Year Marian Rivera is the nominee to beat in the 2014 Yahoo! Celebrity Awards (formerly Yahoo! OMG Awards). The actress dubbed as TV’s Primetime Queen is considered a frontrunner in several categories where she is nominated.

During a program hosted by radio and TV host Sam Oh at Amber Ultra Lounge at The Fort Entertainment Center in Taguig City, Yahoo!

Marian Rivera leads glitzy FHM parade of sexy stars

For the second time in five years, Marian Rivera was hailed as sexiest woman in the land by men’s magazine FHM Philippines.

Wearing a glittery gold bikini with elaborate wings, the actress led a parade of dozens of scantily clad female celebrities and scores of FHM models in even less clothing at the World Trade Center in Pasay on Wednesday.

Dingdong Dantes at Marian Rivera, nagkakalabuan na nga ba?

Sinagot ng Kapuso leading man na si Dingdong Dantes ang mga intriga na nagkakalabuan na sila ng kanyang kasintahan na si Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera.

Sa Star Bites ng GMA News TV’s Balitanghali nitong Miyerkules, sinagot ni Dingdong ang intrigang mayroon na siyang ibang babaeng minamahal na ipinalit daw kay Marian.

Matapos ang autograph signing na dinaluhan ni Dingdong para sa comics version ng pelikula niyang Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles, sinabi ng aktor na masayang-masaya ang relasyon nila ni Marian.

"We're very okay and in fact, we've never been this happy so confident naman kami sa relationship namin that we're stronger now than even we were before," pahayag ng binata.




Wala raw ideya si Dingdong kung saan nanggagaling ang mga intrigang ibinabato sa kanila ni Marian.

Sa isang ulat na lumabas sa Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP), inilarawan ni Dingdong ang relasyon nila ni Marian na nasa “tuktok ng kaligayan."

“Kung ire-rate at ira-rank ko yung relationship namin mula nang mag-umpisa kami, I think parang we’re at the peak of happiness," ayon sa 32-anyos na aktor.

Gayunman, hindi pa rin daw nila matiyak ni Marian kung kailan magaganap ang pinakahihintay ng kanilang fans na kasalan.


“Sino bang hindi may gusto nun? Pero para sa akin, darating ang tamang panahon para diyan," aniya. “Napag-usapan, pero hindi pa naman masyado." - MMacapendeg/FRJ, GMA News

Marian Rivera at Heart Evangelista, nagkabati sa Dolphy tribute special

Bukod sa kasiyahan, may dala ring pagkakaisa ang ginanap na musical tribute para sa Comedy King na si Dolphy. Maliban sa napag-isa nito ang tatlong major television networks sa bansa, naging daan din ito para magkabati ang mga Kapuso star na sina Marian Rivera at Heart Evangelista.

Sa artikulong isinulat ni Gorgy Rula na lumabas sa Philippine Entertainment Portal nitong Huwebes, sinabing tahimik na nagkaayos sina Marian at Heart.

Matatandaan na napaulat na nagkaroon ng hidwaan ang dalawa sa shooting ng isang movie na ginawa nila last year.

Sa musical tribute kay Dolphy na may titulong Alay Tawa: A Musical Tribute to the King of Philippine Comedy, nagsama-sama ang mga talent ng GMA-7, ABS-CBN at TV5 para magtanghal.

Kabilang sina Marian at Heart sa mga Kapuso talent na kumatawan sa GMA-7.

Sa ulat na lumabas sa PEP, sinabing nasa holding area SM Mall Arena ang ilang big stars na naghihintay na isalang sa stage. Doon ay namataan sina Heart at Marian.

Kausap umano ni Heart si Raymond Gutierrez, habang kasama naman ni Marian sa kabilang lamesa sina Dennis Trillo at ang manager nilang si Popoy Caritativo.

Dito ay pabiro umanong itinuro ng showbiz press kay Marian si Heart, at napangiti naman ang Kapuso primetime queen.

Nang tanungin daw si Marian kung nagkabati na sila ni Heart, sinabi ng una na lumapit si Heart sa kanya at nagbeso sila.

Sapat na raw iyon para sabihin na wala ng problema sa kanilang dalawa.

Nasabi naman ni Heart noon na tamang timing lang ang kailangan para maayos anuman ang naging problema nila.

Inilarawan pa ni Heart si Mariam na "She’s very nice."

Nang hingan ng pahayag si Marian tungkol muli sa kanila ni Heart, sinabi ng Kapuso actress na: "Ay naku, huwag na natin pag-usapan ‘yan. Basta okay kami. Wala nang intriga." - FRJ, GMA News

Dingdong Dantes wants to produce an action movie for Marian Rivera

Tila matatagalan pa bago muling magkasama sa isang proyekto ang magkasintahan na sina Dingdong Dantes at Marian Rivera.

Ang huling proyekto na sila ang magkapareha ay ang primetime series na My Beloved.

Conflict daw ang schedules ng dalawa kaya naman si Lovi Poe ang naging leading lady ni Dingdong sa pelikulang Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles.

Dagdag pa ng Kapuso actor, na isa rin sa producers ng pelikula, “Siyempre, maganda rin na may kanya-kanya kaming ginagawa ni Marian separately.

“Parang ako, noong time na ginagawa ko ‘to, iba yung ginagawa niya. Nagkataon lang na ngayon lang siya ipalalabas."

Mahigit isang taon ang ginugol para matapos ang Tiktik, na lahat ay ginamitan ng computer-generated imagery.

Kung tutuusin, mas nauna pa itong natapos kaysa sa isa pang co-produced na pelikula ni Dingdong—ang 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival entry na Segunda Mano.

PRODUCING A MOVIE FOR MARIAN. Hindi man sila magkasama ngayon sa pelikula, sinabi ni Dingdong na may plano siyang mag-produce ng pelikula para kay Marian.

“It’s already in the works. Kumbaga, binubuo pa lang," sabi ni Dingdong PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang press sa pocket presscon para sa Tiktik noong Linggo, Agosto 19.

“Ito ‘yong project na prinesent sa akin ng team, bumubuo ng Tiktik. Na-excite kami and we’re very excited with the project.

“Plans pa lang. Pero one thing is for sure, we’re all very excited. All parties are very excited."

Hindi na nagbigay ng iba pang detalye si Dingdong tungkol sa planong ito. Pero kung may pagkakataon mag-produce ng isa pang pelikula para kay Marian, gusto ng aktor na mayroon itong halong aksyon.

“Type ng movie for Marian, siguro mala-Salt."

Ang Salt ay isang action-thriller film na pinagbidahan ng Hollywood actress na si Angelina Jolie noong 2010.

Sa tingin ni Dingdong ay kaya ng girlfriend niya ang ganitong klase ng pelikula.

“Puwede, kasi parang feeling ko, ganun yung ginawa niya sa Darna (2009) at saka sa Amaya (2012).

“Sisiw na sa kanya ang ganitong action films. And bihira ka pa makakita sa pelikula na ang babae ang gumagawa ng action."

ON MARRIAGE. Samantala, kapansin-pansin na bukod sa pagiging aktor at TV host, nahuhumaling din si Dingdong sa pagpo-produce ng pelikula sa pamamagitan ng kanyang production company na Agosto Dos Pictures.

Isa kaya itong paghahanda para sa kanyang nalalapit na paglagay sa tahimik?

“Masasabi ko pong oo, pero matagal ko na po talagang gustong mag-produce," sagot ni Dingdong.

“Ngayon lang po nabigyan ng pagkakataon dahil siguro because of the relationships that I’ve built throughout the years.

“Nakilala ko yuong mga taong mapagkakatiwalaan ko at magtitiwala sa ako, so nagawa ko."

Ilang beses na ring natanong si Dingdong, pati na si Marian, kung may plano na silang magpakasal.

Sa panayam ng PEP noong Linggo, hindi pa rin nagbabago ang sagot ng aktor tungkol dito.
Ani Dingdong. “Meron naman.

"Feeling namin, may tamang timing para diyan—with the things that we’re doing.

“Hindi rin naman habang buhay, e, magtatrabaho lang kami. May hangganan din naman lahat." -- Nerisa Almo, PEP

Dingdong Dantes celebrates birthday with family and Marian Rivera in Hong Kong

Kababalik lang sa Pilipinas ni Dingdong Dantes mula sa ilang araw na pagbabakasyon sa Hong Kong, kasama ang buong pamilya at ang girlfriend niyang si Marian Rivera.

Sa Hong Kong nagdiwang ng kanyang 32nd birthday si Dingdong. Noong August 2 ang aktuwal na kaarawan ng actor-TV host.

Bago sila pumunta ng Hong Kong, naitanong ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Dingdong kung ano ang birthday wish niya, pero noon ay sinabi nitong hindi pa raw niya maisip kung ano.

Nang muling makaharap ng PEP si Dingdong, pagkatapos ng kauna-unahang gala night ng Protégé: The Battle for the Big Artista Break kagabi, August 5, ay alam na raw niya ang kanyang birthday wish.

Natupad naman daw ito.

“Nag-wish ako, e, sabi ko, sana hindi umulan.

“Tuwing birthday ko kasi, umuulan. Walang birthday ako na hindi umuulan.

“So, sabi ko, sana hindi umulan kasi magdi-Disneyland kami.

“Sobrang init naman, ibang klase sa Hong Kong!

“So, nagkatotoo naman yung wish ko,” saad ng Kapuso actor-TV host.

Simple celebration. Ano ang kaibahan ng naging birthday niya ngayon?

“Ang kaibahan niya, ayokong mag-celebrate nang malaki. Gusto ko lang, kumpleto kami na family.

“Kasi, first time na nangyari na kumpleto kaming family. Tapos, kasama ang mga asawa ng mga kapatid ko.”

Bakit niya naisip na ganoong paraan niya i-celebrate ang birthday niya ngayon?

“Kasi every Sunday, may dinner kami. Parang ginawa naming practice yun na once a week, nagkikita-kita kami, nagluluto ang mommy ko. Para bonding.

“Sabi ko, parang gusto ko yung feeling na gano’n.

“Sa birthday ko, sabi ko, gusto ko, dalhin natin sa labas o sa ibang lugar na medyo matagal.”

Trip to Hong Kong. Kinumusta rin ng PEP kay Dingdong kung ano ang mga ginawa nila sa Hong Kong for four days.

“Basic lang… ako, lakad-lakad lang. Yun ang pinaka-importante sa akin.

“Nag-enjoy ako sa isang show na pinanood namin—it’s called House of Dancing Water. Sa Macau yun.

“It’s a billion-dollar production na parang times ten ng Cirque de Soleil. Parang ganoon, ibang klase, e.

“I was really amazed, sobrang sulit! Kaming lahat nanood.”

Para kay Dingdong, malaking bagay na binakante talaga ni Marian ang apat na araw para makasama nila.

“Nakakatuwa, kasi matagal ko nang plinano.

“Sabi ko, 'Kung puwede, itong mga petsang ‘to, kung puwede, reserve niyo lang.'

“I’m sure, busy rin siya. Pero pinagbigyan niya ako, sila ng manager niya [Popoy Caritativo].”

Marian's birthday gift. Siyempre pa, hindi maaaring hindi tanungin si Dingdong kung ano ang naging birthday gift sa kanya ni Marian.

“Well, she treated us ng isang dinner. Pero para sa akin, it’s more than enough na kasama siya,” sagot niya.

Kilala ang magkasintahan sa pagiging galante sa pagpapalitan ng regalo. Minsan nga ay niregaluhan ni Marian si Dingdong ng Ducati motorcycle.

Wala nang iba pa?

“Wala na, okay na, sapat na yun para sa akin,” nakangiting sabi ni Dingdong.

Sa Linggo, August 12, ay ang 28th birthday naman ni Marian. Pero wala pa raw nakahandang regalo si Dingdong para sa kasintahan.

“Hindi ba puwede yung overall trip na namin na yun?” natatawang biro ng Protégé host.

“Honestly, wala pa, wala pa kong naiisip.

“Pero, ako naman kasi, kadalasan, three of four days bago yung actual event, doon talaga merong pumasok.

“Doon ako may naiisip na ito yung okay, ito yung magugustuhan niya.” - Pep.ph

Marian Rivera excited about movie team-up with Coco Martin

At 27, Marian Rivera remains one of the most beautiful faces in showbiz. And if her “A List” classification in Yes Magazine’s list of 100 Most Beautiful Stars and her Top 5 ranking in FHM Philippines’ 100 Sexiest Women in the World this year are any indication, age has only made her look even better.

Her career is also showing no signs of slowing down. Although Marian said she’s passing up on doing a film for the Metro Manila Film Festival this year after being a fixture for several years, the Madrid-born and Cavite-raised actress dubbed as the Primetime Queen of Philippine TV is teaming up with equally sought-after actor Coco Martin in a film produced by Regal Films.

“The movie is called ‘Hanggang Ngayon’ and it’s a heavy drama to be directed by Maryo J. Delos Reyes,” she told Interaksyon during the recent launch of Forever by Marian, her own signature fragrance from Tupperware Brands. “Coco and I both play lawyers who are rivals at the start but eventually fall in love with each other.”

Asked how she feels about working with the acclaimed actor formerly hailed as the Prince of Philippine Independent Films, Marian could not hide her excitement over the prospect.

“Honestly, na-curious ako sa kanya,” the GMA Network star admitted. “I mean para makaiyak on the spot ang isang lalaking katulad niya, iba yun!”

It’s the same kind of curiosity that she has for indie films which she admits she’s more than willing to do given the right project.

“Me and my manager are actually looking at several indie projects na puwede kong gawin. Wala namang problema basta swak lang yung character sa akin,” she said.

And yes, curiosity is also the same thing that attracted her to Tupperware Brands when company officials approached her and offered to develop her very own fragrance.

“Akala ko pang-kitchen lang sila,” she exclaimed laughing. It was only later when she realized that Tupperware has extended its product line to include cosmetics, fragrance, skin care, personal care, baby care, intimate apparel, apparel, accessories and other home products.

In fact, Tupperware brands have an impressive list of celebrity brand ambassadors that include Bea Alonzo, Maja Salvador, Marvin Agustin, Sam Milby, Dimples Romana and Aljur Abrenica.

“Mabango siya,” she describes the fragrance that bears her name. “I like that it’s both floral and fruity at the same time.”

Marian’s curiosities, however, does not extend to having her own social network where her own personal online presence is still sorely missed by fans and colleagues alike.

“Actually, nai-inggit ako sa ibang mga artista kasi nagagamit nila yung social media accounts nila to announce their films, their TV programs and public appearances,” she confessed. “But there’s another side to it din naman. For me, iwas gulo at iwas sakit ng ulo na lang yung wala akong Facebook at Twitter accounts.”

Her absence on Twitter in particular does not stop others from opening their own fake, often parody Marian Rivera accounts. One such netizen is Twitter user @superstarmarian who even got a nomination in the #Thought-Mover category in this year’s Globe Tatt Awards for her often hilarious tweets that not a few people often mistake as that of the actress.

“Nakakatawa siya,” said the actress about the mysterious @superstarmarian. “Hindi ko nababasa ang mga tweets niya pero I read about her in Rogue magazine and all I can say is basta alam lang niya ang limitations niya, okay lang sa ‘kin yun.”

Marian Rivera, ipinaliwanag kung bakit ‘di pa siya handang magpakasal

Sa ginawang panayam ng PEP Talk ng Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP), ipinaliwanag ng Kapuso Primerime Queen na si Marian Rivera ang dahilan kung bakit hindi pa sila handang lumagay sa tahimik.

Sa naturang panayam, sinabi ni Marian dahil naniniwala siyang kailangang maging buo muna ang pagkatao ng isang tao bago pumasok sa lifetime commitment.

“Kapag sinabi kong, ‘Oo, gusto kong ikasal,’ ibig sabihin, kailangan buo ‘yong pagkatao ko. Hindi lang, ‘ay! love ko siya! Ay! kasal na tayo!’ Hindi," paliwanag ng aktres sa PEP Talk, ang kauna-unahang online showbiz talk show sa bansa.

Iginiit niya na magpapakasal lamang siya kapag buo na ang kanyang pagkatao at kapag handa na siya sa mga maaaring kahinatnan ng pagiging maybahay.

“Sa ngayon masasabi ko na mayroon pang kailangan na mabuo kay Marian Rivera para maging wife," pahayag niya.

Bukod dito, naniniwala rin ang Primetime Queen na hindi edad ang dapat maging basehan ng pagmamahal.

Nasa 30’s na ang nobyo ni Marian na si Dingdong Dantes. Samantala, nasa late 20’s naman ang Kapuso actress.

“Wala naman sa edad ‘yan, e. May mga bata nga ikinakasal na 18 years old, pero matured. May mga ikinakasal na 35 years old, pero hindi nagwo-work ang relationship. So, nasa pagkatao ‘yan," ayon kay Marian.

Wala naman daw particular tema ng kasal na naiisip si Marian.

"Siguro kahit dati pa, isa lang ang pangarap ko na wedding — basta sa church. Kahit ano pa ang suot ko diyan, basta ang gusto ko sa simbahan," aniya.

Sa kabila nito, hindi naman daw kailangang mabahala ng mga ‘Marianknights’ (Marian Rivera fans) dahil hindi niya iiwan ang showbiz kahit na ikasal na siya.

"Ay, hindi mangyayari ‘yan. Mahal ko ang trabaho ko. Dito ako nakilala. Dito ako minahal ng tao kung sino talaga ako.Hindi mawawala sa dugo ko ang pag-arte at pagsasayaw," pagtiyak ni Marian. - Mac Macapendeg/FRJ, GMA News

Dingdong Dantes explains how girlfriend Marian Rivera's pregnancy rumors started

Nakausap live via phone patch ng Showbiz Central host na si Pia Guanio ang aktor na si Dingdong Dantes noong Linggo, April 29.

Nasa Malaysia noon ang Kapuso actor para sa promotion ng Endless Love. Kasalukuyan kasing ipinapalabas doon ang naturang GMA-7 drama series noon nina Dingdong at Marian Rivera.

Sabi ni Dingdong. “Pauwi na ako [sa Pilipinas], nandito ako ngayon sa airport, alas-singko yung flight, so ayun. I can’t wait to go home."

Kinumusta ni Pia kay Dingdong ang naging reception sa kanya sa Malaysia.

“Sobrang layo sa ini-expect ko, e!" bulalas niya.

“Sobrang nakakatuwa, grabe yung init ng pagtanggap sa entourage natin dito.

“Talagang na-appreciate nila at gustung-gusto nila yung mga shows ng GMA—particularly yung Marimar, Stairway To Heaven, at yung currently na umeere na Endless Love.

“In fact, pagdating na pagdating ko sa hotel, iyon [Endless Love] yung palabas sa TV, naabutan ko pa yung isang episode."

Hindi raw dubbed in Bahasa (Malaysian dialect) ang show.

Banggit ni Dingdong, “It’s not, it’s subtitled.

“So, kumbaga, kung ano yung eksaktong materyal na lumalabas sa atin, iyon, pero naka-subtitle lang."

So sila ni Marian ay mayroong Malaysian fans?

Sabi ni Dingdong, “Meron magmula noong Marimar, e.

“Kasi I think pinalabas yung Marimar years ago, ‘tapos ito na nga yung pangatlo ‘tapos…

“In fact, may iba pa ngang nakikipag-coordinate sa mga supporters from Manila kasi may mga groups yun, e.

“So, pagdating namin dito, talagang well-equipped sila, sa communication... ‘tsaka very updated."

THE MALAYSIAN EXPERIENCE. Kumusta ang experience ng pagge-guest niya sa iba’t-ibang Malaysian TV shows?

“Wala din namang ipinagkaiba, para ding sa atin.

“May difference lang pagdating sa pagkakaintindihan dahil siyempre ‘pag nag-uusap sila, hindi mo na alam ang sinasabi nila, di ba?

“Ibig sabihin, may tatanungin sila sa ‘yo in English, di ba?

“Pero masaya, masaya kasi, halimbawa, ang unang pinag-guest-an ko, e, parang noontime talk show nila yung parang dating SiS natin.

“And then kinabukasan, nag-guest ako sa parang Unang Hirit nila, so basically it’s the same format, so pinromote ko yung mga activities ko for the coming days."

MISSING MARIAN. Gaano niya na-miss si Marian? Silang dalawa sana ang pupunta doon sa Malaysia kaya lang ay may taping si Marian para sa bago nitong dramedy na Tweets For My Sweet.

Sina Marian at Dingdong ang magkapareha sa Endless Love at sa umeere ngayon sa Pilipinas na My Beloved sa Kapuso network.

“Grabe! Sobra dahil sobra yung pananabik ng mga tao na makita rin siya.

“Grabe yung pagmamahal nila sa characters ng mga shows na ginawa namin.

“In-explain ko naman na dahil busy siya sa paggawa ng bagong show.

"So, kumbaga, mas naging hopeful sila kesa sa nalungkot, na may bagong puwedeng abangan sa kanya, di ba?

“So iyon naman, okay naman. Maganda rin na natuloy pa rin ako kahit wala siya kasi at least mas maganda na meron kaysa wala dahil sobrang they’re looking forward to seeing us."

PREGNANCY RUMOR. Tinanong naman si Dingdong sa isyu na diumano’y buntis si Marian.
Nagsimula ang isyu na umano’y nasa gym si Dingdong at may gymmate ito na nag-congratulate sa aktor.

Sabi ni Dingdong, “Well, first kasi... first of all, whenever I’m in the gym, I really don’t talk about things much kasi, kumbaga, sandali lang ako dun, e.

“’Tsaka kung may pag-uusapan man kami, e, hindi tungkol sa mga bagay na ganun.

"Kaya nung lumabas yun, nung sinabi may nag-congratulate sa akin, wala talaga akong naaalalang may nagsabi sa akin.

"And siguro pinakamalayo sa imahinasyon ko na mangyari yun dahil it’s a topic na we don’t talk about in the gym.

“So, dun pa lang, sabi ko, parang imposibleng may naganap na ganung klaseng conversation.

“Pero yung aspetong may posibleng may mag-congratulate sa akin, puwede, kasi I have a sister who is pregnant sa kanyang pangalawang baby.

"So, maaaring iyon yun, pero definitely wala sa gym iyon.

“At saka sinagot na yata ni Marian yun during the press conference [ng Tweets For My Sweet] two days ago, so nalinawan naman yun.

“And it’s a good thing na hindi naman siya masamang topic, di ba?

"So, okay naman yun."

Ang posibilidad na mangyari nga iyon, na mabuntis si Marian?

“You know what, everything in God’s time," sambit ng aktor.

Everything in their proper place at kasal muna?

“That’s right, that’s right," pagsang-ayon ni Dingdong.

PASALUBONG FOR MARIAN. Tinanong naman ni Pia kung ano ang pasalubong ni Dingdong kay Marian mula sa Malaysia.

“Actually, meron dito na gustung-gusto akong ibigay sa kanya, yung kanilang kasuotan dito dahil very sacred sa kanilang religion.

“And I remember Marian wearing something similar sa isang photo shoot niya para sa isang product na ini-endorse niya, so feeling ko bagay na bagay sa kanya.

“And mabuti na lang, bago ako umalis, yung hosts namin dito, e, ibinigay sa akin yung gusto kong bilhin.

"So I have something for her."

Bukod daw doon ay may iba pang mga pasalubong si Dingdong para sa kanyang kasintahan. -- Rommel Gonzales, PEP

Marian To Star In New GMA Sitcom

MANILA, Philippines – Marian Rivera is gearing up for a show that will allow her to pit acting talents with comedic greats Nova Villa and Roderick Paulate.

In an interview with “Unang Hirit,” aired April 10, Rivera said that the new show, dubbed “Tweets for my Sweets,” is quite a welcome change inasmuch as she already misses doing comedy.

The last sitcom that the 27-year old actress did was “Show Me Da Manny” two years ago.

Rivera acknowledges that working with Villa and Paulate is a “dream come true.”

More, Rivera is also happy that the show also touches on her favorite pursuit, cooking.

She has expressed excitement that the show will allow her to work with one of her icons, Chef Boy Logro of “Kusina Master.”

“Sobrang blessed ako sa sitcom na ito,” said the Filipina-Spanish beauty.

Meanwhile, Regal Entertainment Inc. also announced that they have tapped Rivera to star with ABS-CBN actor Coco Martin in a yet-to-be-titled movie to be released this year.

In a post on its Facebook page last week, Regal detailed that the film will be megged by Maryo J. de los Reyes.

This is the first time Rivera and Martin will star in a movie together.

Rivera started her showbiz career as a model.

She began acting in 2005 via several soap operas including "Kung

Mamahalin Mo Lang Ako," "Agawin Mo Man Ang Lahat" and "Pinakamamahal."

She gained stardom in 2007 when she landed the lead part in the remake of the hit telenovela, "MariMar," which became the highest-rated primetime show on Philippine television at that time.
