BONGACIOUS (showbiz term for sobrang impressive) ang party which Mother Lily organized for Marian Rivera's birthday.

Marian celebrates her birthday August 12. Ka-birthday niya sina Iza Calzado at Aga Muhlach.

How old na kamo si Marian?

Well, undisclosed, which is the privileged of every woman. Although some whispers that she could be 25.
The party was held at the mezzanine ng Imperial Palace. Which could accommodate about 300 people. Or, a bit more.

Well, the hall was filled, wika nga, to the rafters.

Before the party, which started at seven, a presscon was held for Marian and his co-star and director, sina Dennis Trillo at Direk Jun Lana, ng soon-to-be-released horror flick na Tarot sa Penthouse of the same hotel.

Bago ang presscon proper, Marian was made to submit to a tarot reading, supposedly by an expert.

Well, walang bago, lalo't kung kilala mo si Marian, or you have followed her career mula sa simula, sa mga hinula sa kanya tungkol sa kanyang past and present. O, maging sa kanyang future.

Halimbawa, binanggit na makakatuluyan niya ang kasalukuyan niyang mahal at makakaroon sila ng apat na anak.

Mas bobongga din daw ang kanyang career kesa career ng kanyang minamahal. Which is an open book naman sa showbiz. After all, 'di ba, bumungga lang ang career ni Dingdong Dantes mula nang makapareha niya si Marian sa Marimar at Dyesebel.

If he can be on his own, mapapatunayan ni Dingdong kapag nag-air na ang kanyang bagong series, Stairway to Heaven.

In any case, here's one hula about Marian na tututukan namin kung matutupad. Ayon sa nag-tarot read sa kanya, matutupad daw niya ang pangarap na muling ma-kapiling ang ama, who now resides in Spain.

Sixteen years old daw siya nang huling magkitang mag-ama.

Second horror movie together nina Marian at Dennis itong Tarot, since they have been paired in a past horror film, Pamahiin.

First together nila ito to work with former award-winning writer and script-writer Jun Lana, who is a Bicolano pala.

Direk Jun grew up in Victory Village, Legaspi.

Since we also grew up in Bicol, we asked Direk Jun kung paano siya nagkaroon ng fascination for horror stories and films, saman-talang in Legaspi, in particular, horror things are selcom discussed.

As a teenager pala, until he became an adult, avid viewer siya ng mga horror films, kabilang na ang Psycho.

Second horror movie na idinirek niya itong Tarot, since siya rin ang nama-hala ng Kutob, which Regal Entertainment also produced. The idea to do a horror movie on Tarot came from Roselle Monteverde-Teo, who is now managing Regal Films.

Before writing the script of the movie, he and his team, ayon kay Direk Jun, made a thorough research on tarot. In fact, the reason why, in Tarot, they decided not to use the ordinary tarot cards but instead came up with their own version of cards because may fear daw silang ang mga, wika nga'y, elements involved sa tunay na cards na kanilang gagamitin ay mga active pa.

"Mahirap nang magbakasakali," ani Direk Jun.

How horrifying is Tarot?

"Basta maraming eksenang manginginig ka sa takot. Kasi, bawat element sa card na lumabas ay nagkakaroon ng buhay.

Kaya, maraming effects and pelikulang ito," ani Direk Jun. "Kaya, maituturing ito na rare horror movie. "

Kahit pa mag-asawa ang roles bilang mga magulang ni Ogie Alcasid (as Angelina) in Ang Spoiled, also starring Michael V. , ng dating legal na Mr. & Mrs. Jomari Yllana and Aiko Melendez, still halatang ilang sila sa isa't isa. Ganyan ba talaga, Ian F. , ang dating mag-asawang nawalan na ng pagmamahal sa isa't isa?

Well, our source said Jomari and Aiko usually take to each other's corner after a take. Ganunpaman, halata ring they are civil with each other.

Ayon kay Jomari, it was lang during the wake ng kanyang ngayo'y namayapa nang talent manager, the late Douglas Quijano, na natuklasan niyang he signed him (Jomari) to do the movie.

Wala siyang reklamo na makatrabahong muli ang dating asawa at ina ng kanyang panganay na anak na si Andre. Ganundin daw si Aiko.

They last worked together in 1997 for the movie Kahit Kailan.

While loveless si Jomari after his breakup with Pops Fernandez, Aiko does not deny that in love siya with Patrick Meneses who is running for mayor of Bulacan, Bulacan.
