Marian Rivera's manager, Popoy Caritativo, did another round of explanation after it was written that his ward showed her unpopular attitude again in a recent stint in Davao for a gas company.

"It's not true na nag-inarte siya doon," Popoy explained. "Yes, there was a wheelchair that the promoter readied for her, pero hindi naman siya ang nag-request nun. Akala kasi nila talagang hindi pa siya puwedeng maglakad, so naghanda na sila. "

It was written that Marian also did not want to wear the T-shirt intended to promote the product. "Hindi po rin totoo 'yun," he continued. "In fact, humingi pa nga po ng apology ang may-ari ng gasoline station dahil sa mga nasulat sa ilang local newspapers doon. "He couldn't consider though that all of these are part of a demolition job against his ward.

"Baka napag-iinitan lang talaga," said a colleague. "Ganyan naman pag naumpisahan. Sumasakay lang siguro sila sa usapan. " Meanwhile, Popoy and his wards, including Marian, Dennis Trillo and Mart Escudero, organized a Christmas party for the entertainment press where no one went home empty handed. Some say that they did it for damage control, but for the spirit of Christmas, let's just rejoice and enjoy it.

ANGEL FEELS PIOLO'S HARD MUSCLE

Angel Locsin still gets nervous everytime she does a love scene. But because her leading man in the Star Cinema movie, "Love Me Again" is Piolo Pascual, she feels confident that she would be taken care of. Add to the fact that they have a woman director, Rory Quintos, that makes Angel more willing to do it, even if it surpasses the daringness she did in her past movies, or TV show.

She felt so comfortable with Piolo, especially that after each take, he would cover her bare body immediately with a towel. "Ang may cover lang po talaga yung boobs ko," she confides. "Pero pag makikita ninyo, parang hubad na hubad ako kasi may shot sa likod ko. "When asked what she felt when doing the scene, Angel giggled and said: "Matigas po ang abs ni Piolo.

Pero 'yung tama lang po. Hindi batu-bato. "We hope she was not thinking about Luis Manzano when they were doing that love scene.
