EVERYTIME we see Alessandra de Rossi, it seems her waistline is getting smaller. She says she might be overworked. She has finished two movies, one of which is the Metro Manila Film Festival entry, "One Night Only" for OctoArts Films.

But now that shooting for the movie with Valerie Concepcion, Katrina Halili, Diana Zubiri, and Jennylyn Mercado is through, she can have time for herself. She vows to eat a lot, especially now that it is Christmas season.

So, what's her plan for Christmas? "We're going to Italy to visit my dad," says Alex.

It will be a time for reunion and confrontation, she says. "Well, we haven't been together for a long time. And confrontation? Well, I'm gonna ask my dad to stop working. He's too old to work. "

It was written in some tabloids that her dad at his age still works as baggage man and carpenter. "There's nothing wrong with that actually," Alex says. "But for me, kung totoo man na nagwo-work pa siya, dapat hindi na. Dapat, retired na siya. "

She says she can work for her dad. In fact, when she returns to the Philippines after Christmas, she is decided to record an album, "The Very Best of Alessandra de Rossi" which will include her own compositions.

One particular song is titled " Make The Sun Rise," a spiritual song (but which she herself cannot sample how it sounds). Does she really sing? "I'm sure I can carry a tune but if producers don't like it, I couldn't care less. I will produce the album myself if nobody is interested. "
CARMINA, ZOREN WORKING ON NEXT BABY

CARMINA Villarroel may not be a perfect mother, but she says she knows what is best for her family when it comes to hygiene. Like any other mom, hygiene for her is an important factor to avoid having diseases. She admits she was using a different brand before, but when she was introduced to Bioderm, she found out that it's the perfect family soap.

Carmina, partner Zoren Legaspi, and their twins Mavy and Cassy are all into Bioderm. The product comes in attractive packaging wrapped in glossy paper in different hues--yellow, green, pink and blue. "Its scent lingers and will surely cleanse and gives you a whole day freshness," says Carmina.

Meanwhile, Carmina is still one of the busiest showbiz personalities we have. She hosts "Sis," Mondays to Fridays with Janice de Belen and Gelli de Belen for GMA 7. She's also one of the favorite actresses in many GMA teleseryes and fantaseryes. Looking at her twins growing fast, someone says that they should have another baby soon. "Yes, we're working on it," she says with a laugh.
