<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> It's been done before, notably by Hollywood actress Demi Moore, who agreed to pose in the nude even while she was pregnant.<br /><br />But Marian Rivera is not likely to follow suit.<br /><br />On Wednesday, the expectant mom said she has already decided not to join year's FHM party even if she tops the men's magazine poll of sexiest women.<br /><br />Aside from her condition, Rivera said she is also thinking of her husband, actor Dingdong Dantes.<br /><br />"Actually napag-usapan namin 'yan ng FHM at saka ng management ko. Naka-receive ako ng letter sa management. Sabi ko huwag na, tama na. Kahit lumalabas sa FHM -- kung palarin ulit ako, may bumoto ulit sa akin at maging number one ako, for example -- hindi ko kayang rumampa. Mahiya naman ako sa asawa ko, buntis pa ako. So huwag na muna," Rivera said at a press conference for this year's PEP List.<br /><br />Rivera and Dantes were hailed the Pepsters' Choice for Newsmaker of the Year.<br /><br />Rivera admitted that a lot of things have changed after she got married last December.<br /><br />"Iba ang buhay ng may asawa, iba ang buhay ng buntis," she said. "Nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng biyayang ipinagkaloob sa akin ng Panginoon pero ito talaga ang buhay na pinapangarap ko at inaasam-asam ko -- ang ikasal at magkaroon ng isang anak at magkaroon ng pamilya. 'Yun talaga."<br /><br />"Sabi ko nga, 'yung showbiz parte ng buhay ko, minahal ko 'yan. Madami akong nakilala madami akong natutunan. Diyan ko nakilala ang asawa ko. Pero, at the end of the day, ang importante sa akin ay nagkaroon ako ng pamilya at bubuuin ko pa siya at gusto ko madaming anak. 'Yun ang pangarap ko. Madaming adjustment kasi marami kang kailangang i-sacrifice eh," added Rivera, who recently also gave up her role in a TV series.<br /><br />"Mas importante sa akin na maging healthy 'yung anak ko, hindi ako mapuyat, 'di ako ma-stress. Sabi ko nga ang soap, madali 'yan. <br />Kahit next year kaya kong gawin pero kapag may mangyari sa anak ko, 'di ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko. So mas pipiliin ko na safe siya," Rivera explained.<br /><br />Rivera also said Dantes is fully supportive of her decision to put her her showbiz career on hold.<br /><br />"Naku baka umiyak pa ako," she said, as she recalled their conversation on the topic. "Bihira daw ang babaeng igi-give up ang lahat para magkaroon ng pamilya. Nagpapasalamat siya sa Panginoon na natanggap niya ang babaeng 'yon. Sumisipa po ang anak ko, nasiyahan."<br /><br />Rivera and Dantes are set to find out the gender of their baby next week.<br /><br />Asked if they would allow their child to be a celebrity baby, Rivera said: "Naku huwag na muna mag-aral na muna siya. Depende din po kasi. Pero sa ngayon ang punto ko sa buhay ko, sa naranasan ko sa showbiz, gusto ko ang anak ko ay mag-aral muna. Ewan ko sa tatay niya, mukhang stage father si Dong. Mas mukha siyang stage father kaysa sa akin."<br /><br />"Minsan mahirap pangunahan ang mga bagay-bagay. Malay mo kapag lumabas ang anak ko, ayaw niya maging artista. Malay mo, doktor ang gusto niya," she continued.<br /><br />"So hintayin ang paglaki niya. Basta kami ni Dong ay susuportahan namin siya. Mamahalin namin siya at papalakihin namin siya ng maayos," Rivera vowed.

Mariel Rodriguez suffers Miscarriage

Monday, March 16, 2015 Unknown 0

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
TV Host Mariel Rodriguez has suffered a miscarriage, the manager of her husband Robin Padilla confirmed on Monday to ABS-CBN News.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
Betchay Vidanes made the confirmation two days after the 30-year-old Rodriguez posted on Instagram cryptic messages about "a turbulent phase in my life."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://igcdn-photos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t51.2885-15/11005050_1554247741494941_1420874416_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://igcdn-photos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t51.2885-15/11005050_1554247741494941_1420874416_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
In a post dated March 14, which shows her apparently crying while inside a car, Rodriguez said: "Not all days are happy... some days are sad. #byecutiepie"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
Another photo showed two hands clasped -- presumably Rodriguez's and Padilla's -- and was captioned: "Having a sad day doesn't mean its the end of the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
"Sh*t really does happen but today I felt so much love from my family and concerned friends. I am grateful because I am not alone during this turbulent phase in my life I have my sister, my stepdaughters, my friends and my husband. One day the sun will shine again. #byecutiepie"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
Rodriguez, who was eight weeks and three days pregnant when the baby stopped developing, would have given birth some time in October 2015.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
Padilla, in a statement relayed by Vidanes to ABS-CBN News, said Rodriguez would rather wait to naturally bleed than go to a clinic.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
The 45-year-old action star said: "Ayaw na bumalik ni Mariel sa Asian [Hospital] ngayon. Hihintayin daw niya duguin lang siya at mawala nang normal ang bata sa tiyan niya. Ayaw niyang magpa-ospital hangga't hindi siya dinudugo."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
Using the same hashtag, Vidanes condoled with the couple on her own Instagram page, saying: "To the amazing, brave and beautiful [Rodriguez] and my dear friend [Padilla], I am broken-hearted by the news of the loss of your unborn angel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
"But your faith and love for each other will prevail and God's grace will shine on. Each new life, no matter how brief, forever changes the world." </div>

Alex said the show’s production numbers and gimmicks will definitely surprise her fans. She believes the opening and closing performances might even raise the eyebrows of a few showbiz and government personalities.</div>

Without giving a hint, Alex explained, “Ang ending po namin talaga at opening ay very different in that never in the history of concert-making na nagawa ito, nag-research kami.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Alex refused to disclose additional details about the show, save for the fact that it will have a love advice portion midway through.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The author of the bestselling book on love advice titled “Dear Alex, Break na kami. Paano?! Love, Catherine” shared, “Kung may problema po kayo diyan, heartbroken kayo, meron kayong pinagdadaanan, meron po akong libreng mga advice na maibibigay.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She assured concertgoers of all  ages will enjoy the show that will showcase her many talents.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Two of her guests in the show are actress-dancer Maja Salvador and, of course, her older sister Toni Gonzaga.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Siyempre ang ate ko part na rin naman ’yan so kasama po siya,” she said. “Basta magugulat na lang po kayo sa gagawin niya, unexpected talaga ang mga nangyayari.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In terms of sisterly support, Alex shared with humor, “Days ago, pinagagalitan niya ako kasi nakahilata ako pag-uwi niya sa house from taping. Sabi niya bakit daw parang ’di niya ako nakikita na nagte-training, dapat daw nagsu-swimming na ako… Kailangan din po kasi ng endurance, stamina, para magkaroon ng energy sa concert.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Alex appreciates Toni’s concern for her career the same manner that she appreciates concert producer Joed Serrano’s trust in her ability.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Si Kuya Joed, siya talaga po ang papasalamatan ko kasi wala naman pong iba pang magtitiwala, magla-lakas loob na sumugal sa’kin (para mag-headline ng concert) kundi siya po,” Alex said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On speculations that she will soon usurp Toni’s throne in the biz, Alex said, “Hindi naman po. Kasi wala naman dapat palitan kasi hindi mo mapapalitan ang isang tao dahil lahat ng tao ay magkakaiba. May ibang maipapakita ’yan na hindi mo kayang ipakita kahit anong mangyari (and vice versa).”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Since her return to ABS-CBN in 2013, Alex has been getting jobs left and right. She became co-host of  the reality-based competition “The Voice of the Philippines,” scored a lead role via the remake of Koreanovela “Pure Love,” and is currently part of gag show “Banana Split” and Sunday variety show “ASAP 20.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
More, Alex will star as lead in the upcoming ABS-CBN primetime teleserye “Inday Bote.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Asked if she thinks jumping from hosting and acting, to recording and now headlining a concert is a bit too much too soon, Alex replied, “What is too soon? If it’s not now then when is (the right time)? It’s (starring in a concert) now or never, take it or leave it.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Alex could only be thankful for all the opportunities given her and will give her best all the way. (With report from)</div>
