MARIAN Rivera has been officially announced as the top choice in this year’s search for FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women, the first winner who has never even graced its cover. In an interview, Marian said she’d agree to pose for them if she’d win, so now, she’ll have to make her promise true. Her manager, Popoy, says Marian will fulfill that promise as soon as her schedule allows it.
Controversial actress Marian Rivera is the Sexiest Filipina!
One thing sure is that Marian will attend the FHM event at World Trade Center on July 17. GMA-7 is so lucky as their show, “Dyesebel,” has the sexiest man and woman winners. Marian is numero uno with FHM, while Dingdong Dantes, it will be recalled, earlier topped the list of sexiest bachelors of Cosmo Magazine. On July 18, right after the FHM event, both Marian and Dingdong are flying to the U.S. to join the “Eat Bulaga” show at the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
Popoy denies the accusation that he spent a lot to make sure Marian would win in the FHM poll. “Wala kaming budget sa ganyan. And even Marian will get mad if I’d spend money for that. We never even expected she’d win kasi hindi naman siya sexy star and she has never posed for FHM. Pero mayayaman ang fans niya, lalo na ‘yung Marian knights na taga-ibang bansa. Sila ang nagpadala ng pera para suportahan siya.”
Marian got a total of 316,135 votes. Second placer Katrina Halili (who was Marian’s contravida in “Marimar”) is quite far with 123,239 votes. Angel Locsin got 121,288 votes. Even if you combine the votes garnered by Katrina and Angel, they won’t be enough to beat Marian. Someone told us, though, that if the votes were based only on those made by actual FHM readers, it’s Katrina who should have won. The great bulk of Marian’s votes came from texting and emails. Like what we’ve said, the FHM poll has turned into a popularity contest among movie stars.
Jennylyn admits Marian Rivera made her jealous
SOON to be mother Jennylyn Mercado admitted, for the first time, that actress Marian Rivera used to make her jealous.
In "Startalk", Jennylyn admitted that among the girls linked to ex-boyfriend Mark Herras, Marian was the girl who made her jealous.
"Yes, I was jealous of Marian that time," she said.
Jennylyn though was not able to answer Startalk host Lolit Solis question if Mark is better than Patrick Garcia.
"I don't know," she laughingly replied. "It's hard to comment on that."
She said at that time that Mark has a lot of girlfriends.
Rumors broke out at that time that his boyfriend Mark was courting Marian. The issue eventually died down until Mark admitted last Saturday that he had a relationship with the Dyesebel star.
On issues of being linked with Mark again, Jennylyn said it is unlikely.
"We are not even seeing each other, or talk to each other or text, so how can they say that?" she said.
"We have no relationship so I rarely text her. I texted her once or twice a month only," Mark said.
Mark though said he will support Jennylyn when she gives birth next month.
"I will be there to support her but not to watch over her. Guarding is different from supporting," he clarified.
