I am surprised that Marian Rivera is just turning 24 on August 12, after all the things said and done that she is “old” as in Lola Marian daw by some detractors. 24 is young, very young actually. Marian Rivera in an interview said despite the declaration that she is the biggest star of Philippine television now, nothing has changed with her despite the success of her career, she is still the Marian that her fans knew when she was still starting out in showbiz. Marian Rivera is set to do a movie with Dyesebel leading man Dingdong Dantes entitled One True Love. Marian said this is different from the projects she has done with Dingdong Dantes. One True Love is a heavy drama love triangle involving her, Dingdong and Iza Calzado. She is soon flying to Australia to shoot the promotional materials for clothing brand, Jag.

As a gift to her fans, Marian and Dingdong Dantes will have a free “grand” concert on August 27 at the Araneta Coliseum, in line also with Dingdong Dantes birthday on August 2. On her birthday Marian Rivera wishes herself personal happiness for her 24th birthday. “Gusto ko na palagi akong masaya kasi importante sa akin ang pagiging masaya. At saka sana mas mahalin ako ng mga tao sa pagiging ako. Kasi gusto ko ‘yong sarili ko sa pagiging ako, e.

And her message to her detractors?

“Kahit pa sabihin nila na, ‘’Yan si Marian, naku, palaban iyan, bungangera ‘yan…’ I don’t care, basta ako, totoo ako sa sarili ko, na ito ako. Naipapakita ko sa inyo kung sino ako kesa naman sa wala ngang nasasabi sa ‘yo, pero hindi naman totoo ‘yon.

“Gusto ko na ‘yong, sige, pintasan n’yo na ako, pulaan n’yo na ako, okay na ‘yon. Basta ang importante sa akin, ako, hindi ako naninira ng kapwa ko, masaya na ako doon,” Marian Rivera definitely talking to her critics there.

Marian Rivera was proclaimed the Philippines Sexiest Filipina of 2008 by FHM Philippines. FHM Philippines is the no.1 men’s magazine in the Philippines with 60% of the market. The Sexiest Filipina 2008 search is an annual poll chosen by the people thru online, text and actual balloting in several events. Marian Rivera came from a lower ranking last year to bolt into the top spot courtesy of two no. 1 primetime tv shows.

Michelle Madrigal sexy no top on pics due to her role as a mermaid in Dyesebel. Of course, since mermaids are characterized as shirtless, naturally, Michelle Madrigal has to use hair extensions to hide “things’ from the prying eyes of the audience and the camera of course when shooting..

Michelle Madrigal plays a “contravida’ role as Berbola who also has the hots for Dingdong Dantes and she also gets to play Marian Rivera herself. In real life, fans of JC De Vera and Yasmien Kurdi also despises her for reportedly flirting again with former boyfriend JC de Vera.
