Jennylyn fans go for Marian now

WHAT goes up must come down. You will never know how long one will stay on top.

Take the case of Jennylyn Mercado whose loveteam with Mark Herras was proven to be a strong one at the box-office. It was a loveteam hard to beat. Their names spelled big and bright at the theater marquee. As a loveteam, they commanded top billing.

Not now. In the new teleserye, Kaputol ng Isang Awit, Jennylyn has a very quick appearance in a guest role. They call it special, but for us, it is still a guest appearance. If it isn't a demotion, we don't know what is.

Even if Jennylyn survives her personal crisis, it would be hard to recover the popularity she used to enjoy. We doubt if her fans will remain loyal and support her through thick and thin since fans are fickle-minded too and quite possessive of their idols. We won't be surprised if some of them transfer to Marimar's (Marian Rivera) camp.

At any rate, Jennylyn has a promise of becoming a good actress. If GMA intends to keep her, roles that would mold her as an actress would enable her to stay longer in the acting business. The picture of an unwed and abandoned mother trying to bring up a child on her own might work to her advantage, after all.

Incidentally, we find it rather strange ( the same word Jennylyn uttered) that the mother of Patrick Garcia would provide their unborn "apo" an insurance policy and educational plan. That would take some years bago ito pakinabangan. Raising a baby certainly requires financial assistance and not insurance policies and educational plans.

Jennylyn has made a closure on the stormy issue in her last appearance on Startalk.

NOT 100% PINOY
MAXIM magazine for the month of March will feature the all-girl sexy group collectively known as Koolchx. For the misinformed, Star Magic's Koolchx has been a familiar sight on ASAP and Wowowee.

They all sing and dance and in the case of Michelle Murenec, a former aspirant in Pinoy Dream Academy, she is also into break-dancing. Michelle stands 5'4" and is only 23 years old.

Most of the members of Koolchx are not one hundred percent Pinoy. For instance, Gemma Fitzgerald has Australian blood and Malaya Lewandowski is definitely not of Pinoy origin.

Nina Dolino who appeared as a teacher in Lastikman, PBB top four Cassandra Ponti and Princess Ryan, a former Bora girl complete the line-up.

A brief chat with Princess Ryan reveals how her name was conceived. "It is combination at first of Maria and my father's name, John. We tried to put them together but it sounded like marijuana kaya we settled for Princess Ryan which is fine with me," she explained.

Princess Ryan is only 18 and the youngest in the group. Her best talent is dancing, belly dancing in particular which she also considers a form of therapy. One day, she would like to open a dancing school and choreographed shows.

She is not without a boyfriend. Her relationship with Alwyn Uytingco of a boy band group is already one year old.

You can catch the group perform live in their forthcoming series of mall shows.

SAD ENDING FOR GAY MOVIE
'DAYBREAK' director Adolf Alix Jr. , is happy over the success of the gay romantic movie at the box-office. The Robinson moviehouse was full when we saw it and you guessed it right, we noticed only one or two female moviegoers inside.

A text message from Alix states: "We shot two endings for Daybreak. May happy version pero we decided to go for the sad ending dahil mas may point of discussion considering the conditions ng gay relationships sa Pinas. My next film will be an Anita Linda tribute. Then the next will be a gay version na take off sa Same Time Next Year na every leap year lang sila nagkikita dahil may sari-sarili silang commitment already. One great love baga. "

Hurry then and start filming while pink movies are in demand.
