Marian, patuloy na magniningning sa 2009

IT'S New Year's Day, Ian F. , kaya, we start the year with these New Year wishes na sana naman ay 'namnamin,' kung hindi man sundin, ng celebrity recipients.

Dingdong Dantes: For him to admit, once and for all, kung ano ba talaga ang tunay na relasyon nila ni Marian Rivera.

Bagama't it's obvious that there's something more than meets the eye between him and Marian, maganda rin naman (lalo't on the part of Marian) na i-articulate niya ito.

Huwag na niyang isaalang-alang ang magiging damdamin ng kanyang ex na si Karylle, dahil sa mga interview ng dalaga, inamin na niya ang katotohanang wala na nga silang dalawa. Karylle even made a supreme pronouncement na as far as she is concerned, wala nang balikang mamamagitan sa kanila.

Marian Rivera: From the 'looks' of it, ikaw naman ang winner, wika nga. Alam ng iyong 'pinatatamaan' na siya ang iyong 'tinutukoy. '

Sana, maihalintulad mo ang iyong sarili sa bamboo tree na habang tumataas, lalong 'yumuyuko. '

We disagree kasi, Marian, with your detractors' prediction that your 'star' will cease na magningning sa taong 2009.

As long as nasa maganda kang pangangalaga ng GMA-7, wala kang dapat ikabahala where your TV career is concerned.

MOTHER Lily Monteverde: Bagama't you've made a public and official announcement that you are entrusting sa equally efficient and business-minded na anak mong si Roselle Monteverde-Teo ang pamamahala ng Regal Entertainment, still, iba if you will still have your presence 'felt. '

Sabi nga ng aming fellow columnist dito sa Tonight na si Vir Gonzales, "Regal will not be the regal entertainment empire that it is minus Mother Lily. "

We say amen to that.

Malou Santos: Again, nakopo na naman ng Star Cinema ang award bilang top grosser via the movie, Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat, in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.

Thanks to your brilliant business acumen, Malou, which is the reason why for 15 years now, Star Cinema, where you serve as managing director, continues to be the leader and star as far as top-grossing films are concerned.

Reminder lang: Once in a while, find time to smell the flowers, Malou. Rest may be a luxury to someone as successful and as busy as you are.

But rest will also help para lalo kang tumagal sa hanapbuhay na ito. Sa ganu'n, mas maraming projects ka pang maiisip, not just for Star Cinema, but for ABS-CBN as well.

Sa ganitong paraan, mas maraming tao kang mabibigyan ng hanapbuhay.

CARMINA Villarroel: Another set of twins. Or triplets.

Yes, why not?

Sa presscon for one of her endorsements with her and Zoren Legaspi's twins, Casey and Mavey, binanggit ni Carmina na eager na sila ni Zoren na magkaroon muli ng babies, kung hindi man baby.

In fact nga raw, they are trying hard, yes, na mabuntis siyang muli.

Bagama't 'di pa masasabing 'sagrado' na ngang talaga ang kanilang pagsasama (she finally admitted na 'di pa sila kasal ni Zoren), her and Zoren's is definitely one of the few solid at tahimik na relasyon in the business.

May katuwirang ituring ni Carmina ang sarili bilang most happy person ngayon not only because she has a happy family and her showbiz career seems to be flourishing, but because kahit ang dati'y inaakalang turbulent narelasyon niya with former husband (?) Rustom Padilla has also been totally resolved, or so it appears.
Lucy Torres: Another baby for her and Richard Gomez.

Magna-nine years old na next year ang panganay nilang si Julianna and both Lucy and Richard admit that they are eager to give her a baby brother or sister.

Dear Lord, pakinggan n'yo naman ang kanilang dasal. Make it happen in 2009, please?

As it is, maganda ang takbo ng career ni Richard. Wika nga, "bawing-bawi" niya ang kung anumang negative belief about him ng karamihan in the past.

Thanks to his stint as host ng isa sa pinakasikat na game programs sa TV ngayon, ang Family Feud.

Friendly at mabait ang dating niya tuwing hinu-host niya ang nasabing programa.

Keep up the good work, Richard!

CHARLENE Gonzales: A new show, yes, lifestyle ang format, na magke-cater, 'di lang sa mga elite (tulad ng kasalukuyan niyang show sa QTV 11, ang Proudly Filipina), but to the rank-in-file as well.

One of the best and most credible TV hosts, sayang naman if Charlene's show is 'viewed' by just one particular sector of society and not by all.

In her life as wife to Aga Muhlach and mom to twins Atasha and Andres, Charlene cannot ask for more.

To Tattle readers, may 2009 really be the best, blessed, peaceful and most prosperous year for all of us.
